——My surname is Lu.In Chinese, "Lu" is the capitalization of "six".The numbers in our two names are next to each other, this must be a kind of fate!

That's what she said to May when she first met her.

That is not such a long memory, it was only two years ago.

"The life in the orphanage is really hard. The adults there are very... how should I put it? They are all very fierce. I thought the adults were so vicious. It was not until I met her that I first For the first time, I know that there are such gentle adults in the world."

Wuyue remembers that her name is Luosu, which means "eggplant" in the dialect of her hometown; she remembers that her only son is studying fine arts at the National University and has a pair of very dexterous hands; she remembers that her husband is from Kyoto and always speaks With a flat tone.

I also remember how warm her hand was, holding me through the Chinatown in Yokohama, and taking me to appreciate many scenery-scenery that cannot be seen through the bars of the orphanage.

Of course, she will not forget that day, she can't wait to tell herself that she will adopt herself soon.

"Our Bowen family is going to have a little sister!"

She smiled more than ever.

Until the burglar broke into her home.

That day's kendo class was over, Wu Yue walked home alone.On the way, she was delayed for a while to buy octopus balls, and when she stepped into the house, it was already late.

Everyone fell into a pool of blood and lost their breath.The man who was so addicted to drugs was holding a bloody butcher knife with a frenzied expression. He rummaged through the drawers, and finding a one-hundred-yuan coin made him crazy.

Then he saw May.

He wanted to kill May.

"I resisted desperately with the wooden knife in my hand. I can't remember the memory of that moment clearly. I seemed to be just swinging the knife crazily, stabbing him non-stop until he stopped moving. I still Repeating the same action nervously."

Her hands were shaking.

Her hands were shaking that day too.

Maybe her terrified cries were heard by the neighbors, and the police came soon.They took the wooden knife from Wuyue's hand, covered her with an orange blanket, and forcibly took her out of the apartment full of death.

What's funny is that in that apartment, besides May, the only one who survived was that bastard who killed someone.

The police told her that the result of the investigation was that the thief had no contact with the Lu family at all, and that he did something evil out of bad intentions.

He was sentenced to death.

May also left a criminal record.

While it is true that her actions were legitimately self-defense, her defensive actions went too far.The murderer lay in the intensive care unit for almost half a month before regaining consciousness and being able to confess his crimes.

Shortly after leaving the intensive care unit, the execution was carried out.

That might be the only thing that makes May happy.

"But because of the records, almost no high school is willing to accept me. Only the high school I am studying at now... Qingyuan High School has thrown an olive branch at me. So I went to this school-after graduation, I will be directly promoted to the A university related to hero training. In other words, entering this high school means that I will become a hero in the future."

She let out a deep breath, her tone finally relaxed.

"Mr. Yiyong, you remember what I said before. In the era I lived in, heroes became a profession, just like doctors, teachers, and workers. There is no difference. However, heroes are rated. The level will be Determine the tasks assigned to different heroes. Everyone admires heroes, but I don’t seem to admire them that much. I didn’t go to Qingyuan because I wanted to be a hero—it was just because Qingyuan was willing to admit me. That’s , the only high school willing to accept me with a criminal record."

"yes……"

Giyuu originally wanted to say something more, but the only words he could think of were these.

All he could do was pat her on the shoulder lightly.

May's trembling eased a little.She turned her head and smiled at Yiyong, her eyes were slightly red, as if she was about to cry.

Yi Yong was taken aback.He suddenly panicked.

But May did not shed tears after all.

"I've been thinking, if I had gone back earlier that day, would the result have been different?" She spoke quickly, as if she was trying to avoid something, "Can I protect them? Are they Won't die? Then, am I worthy of having a 'home'? The same is true for the quest of the Ghost of Thorns. If I were faster and stronger, wouldn't so many people die? I... ..."

"May."

Giyuu's dark blue eyes stared at her.

As if the situation was calm for a moment, Wu Yue calmed down with his words.

"There are many things you can't change. It's helpless, but this is the reality."

After saying this sentence, he stopped.

If he could continue to say something to let Wuyue relax, then he would definitely say it.But he had nothing to say at all.

Because he doesn't know how to break through the regrets and guilt of the past - until today he is still trapped in it, and maybe he can no longer escape.

And Wuyue didn't say anything anymore, just stirred the red bean soup in the pot, and it gradually became the same as usual.

It was as if nothing happened, nothing was said.

After a while, the wooden spoon scraped against the bottom of the pot, and the blunt sound echoed between the two of them.

"The ghost of thorns."

Suddenly, Giyuu said to her.

"If you failed to kill that ghost of thorns, if it ran away, more people would die next. You broke the cycle of death."

Listening to Yiyong's words, she seemed to be able to grasp something, but it was in a trance, not real, and she couldn't quite figure it out for a while.

Hmm... Mr. Yiyong's words probably mean that she saved many people who might have died, so the "circle of death" disappeared.

But if you think so, the problem seems to come back again - you still have to become stronger, only in this way can you save more and more people.

It is also possible to cut off the "death cycle" as soon as possible.

Ah... She figured it out...

The meaning of Mr. Yiyong's words is to tell himself not to be trapped in the past, and to urge himself to practice hard-the last point is the same as what she thought!

May suddenly became clear, and my mood suddenly cleared up.Although the old haze is still quietly hidden in the corner of my heart, it no longer pokes its head out.

"I used to struggle with these things alone, and the more I thought about it, the sadder I became, but now I seem to have found a breakthrough." She finally smiled, "It's great that you are willing to listen to my nagging... ...I feel like I'm even in a better mood."

Giyuu is somewhat surprised by her super-fast healing, and Giyuu is even more surprised by her thanks.

...Why didn't he feel that he had said something useful?

But seeing Wuyue regain his usual brisk appearance, Yiyong felt relieved and smiled imperceptibly.

"Ah—I'm so tired after standing for a long time. I'll have to sit down for a while."

Standing by the stove with a lot of worries before, she didn't feel tired at all, but now that her worries have finally been let go, the feeling of fatigue has surfaced sneakily.

Unable to stand any longer, Wuyue moved a small stool from the side and sat down, putting her hands next to the fire, letting the warm air melt her almost frozen fingers.

uh... fire...

Fireman mask...?

This wonderful associative trajectory made Wuyue's heart skip a beat.She sat up abruptly.

"I suddenly remembered a very important event."

She turned her head stiffly and looked at Yiyong with horror in her eyes.

"I seem to have lost the sun wheel knife."

When she woke up in the hospital bed in Butterfly House, she had actually looked for her Sun Wheel Knife seriously, but there was no trace of the knife anywhere.

I asked Ms. Shinobu, and she said she hadn't seen it.

"Mr. Tomioka sent you here alone."

That's what Miss Ninja said.

In other words, her knife was gone by then.

Did it fall in that village?Or sank to the bottom of the river?

Damn... She actually has no memory at all...

Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but want to hug her head and cry.

"If you lose such an important thing as the Sun Wheel Knife, you must be punished by the lord... Do I have to write a review? Or will I be punished? I know I was wrong! I have to find the knife before OK……"

With that said, she stood up hastily.This made Yi Yong feel very strange-hasn't anyone told her about that?

"Your knife is really broken, so I sent it back to the knife blacksmith for repair." Yi Yong pinched his fingers and calculated, "The knife blacksmith said that it will be sent back within a month. Just wait patiently Bar."

"It's...really?" Wu Yue felt calm, "Then I don't have anything to worry about."

Just wait for her Sun Wheel Knife to return to her hand!

I don't know if the repaired knife will become more handy?She was already looking forward to it.

Humming an unknown tune, May lifted the lid of the pot.

Just in time, the red bean soup is also finished.

She crushed all the red beans with the bottom of the spoon, and a pot of red bean soup became like red bean paste.

Put the red bean paste into a bowl, and then decorate with a few glutinous rice balls. The combination of red and pure white colors is surprisingly attractive.

If you can sprinkle a small handful of sweet-scented osmanthus, it will definitely be more beautiful.

But Yiyong noticed that May's bowl was full of red bean skins.

"The red bean skin doesn't taste very good, but it's too wasteful to throw it away, so let me eat it."

"Oh--"

Giyuu nodded knowingly.

It turns out that May likes to eat red bean skin.

He obviously didn't realize that he had misunderstood something.

It's really dark at night, and eating under such brightness always has a very sad and miserable sense of sight.May specially lit an extra candle to make today's dining table brighter.

Clasping palms together, seriously saying "I'm starting", Wuyue and Yiyong picked up the bowl.

There is no such competition between them as who can eat faster.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Wuyue seems to have added too much sugar, the red bean soup is very sweet, but not too greasy.The taste of glutinous rice balls is very similar to rice cakes. The moment Giyong took his mouth, he thought he had returned to Rinaki's house during the New Year.

"Is it tasty?"

Wuyue looked at him with a smile, the candlelight flickered in her eyes.

Clearly he already had the answer in his heart, but Yiyong didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded in a daze.

"That's fine."

Wu Yue scooped up a glutinous rice dumpling, and suddenly a wonderful idea popped into her mind.

"Mr. Yiyong, would you like to drink pearl milk tea?"
