After choosing a big adventure at Lupine's Bar

"She is Nora, in short, an artifact with more than one name." Yato explained with a frown, unwilling to mention more.

"It's too much, Yato." Although Nora said so, his expression didn't change at all.

She stretched out her plain white hands, all of which had different names on the bare skin outside the wide sleeves.

"Call me by that name, just like when you were a child."

Yato didn't reply, but the weird girl didn't feel embarrassed at all, just stalemate like that.

Seeing this, Akane looked at Yato.

"So, she is still the ex-daughter..."

"No! Really..." Yato scratched his hair irritably, and looked at Nora, "I see, I'll be there right away, but before that, I have something to talk to this guy first."

This means driving people away.

Nora took his hand back and tilted his head incomprehensibly.

"Why? You used to disappear on your own, why can't you do that this time? Just leave this kind of brat behind..."

"Nora!"

The girl who didn't know what fear was still had a completely unchanged smile on her face.

"I see..." She nodded slightly, turned sideways and disappeared, "I'm waiting for you."

Yato breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw Ming Yin staring at him unblinkingly with those black eyes.

It's pretty creepy, especially late at night like this.

"Ah, all in all..." Yato casually sat down on the stone slab by the pond, "I will be called by that guy to do some commissions from time to time."

"Commission?"

"...a commission to kill."

This guy who is always out of tune, looks like a decent guy when he is not smiling.

like a god.

Mingyin tilted her head to think about the logic of the context, and suddenly realized.

"You mean you don't want to do it, but you have to do it for some reason?"

Yato didn't expect him to ask this first, and blinked his eyes.

"Probably... I actually don't know what I want to do..."

The day of farewell to "Sakura" is still like yesterday.

"Maybe I just want to be remembered by the world with the name 'Yato'."

The hot air exhaled turned into white mist, simmered in the night, drifted to a higher direction, and disappeared.

"Can't you refuse?"

"You can't refuse."

"No, it should mean that I can't refuse," Yato corrected, "That's an order from 'Father'. "

It shouldn't have come to this point.

"For the time being, I can't get out of his control."

Is it because he happened to hear what happened just now?

"I was born because of his wish."

Or is it because you think Mingyin is special?

After listening to Yato's explanation, Ming Yin also sat down on the spot, looking at the sky with no stars, only the bright moon hanging, thinking.

"Thank you for being willing to explain this to me, Yato."

He pulled out a somewhat stiff smile.

"I don't know your past, why you were born, what you have experienced, what kind of relationship you have with Ms. determination, if you don't tell me, I will never know."

"Because I only know you now."

"But that's fine."

"Just keep it like this."

"And according to my residual social common sense and instinct, I think so."

"You still can't get rid of the control of 'father', it doesn't matter."

"For children, parents are everything, they cannot be defied, and they will not have the consciousness of defying, which is normal."

"When you have more and more things that belong to you in your heart and become a complete and independent individual, those things that you thought you couldn't get rid of at first will be nothing to be afraid of."

"At least on a psychological level."

"...You smile so fake." Yedou opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and only spit out this sentence.

"really?"

"real."

"Hmm..." Mingyin tilted her head, "I have no choice but to practice more."

"However, Yato, when you make commissions related to murder, you will use that Nora-san? As a divine weapon."

"...Well, that's right, what's wrong?"

"...I conceived it this way, as a first step towards independence, use me."

"……Eh?"

"Use me."

"Just use me."

"You don't need to use different occasions, use different artifacts, just use me."

Yato was startled.

Although he felt that the child had some brain problems at first, he was still surprised.

"Hey, do you know what that means?"

"I know."

After being told that the joke was fake, Mingyin returned to her usual indifferent expression, which was taken for granted.

A lot of unusual things happened that night.

Mingyin was woken up first, and followed him to hear the conversation between him and Nora.

No, he should have been awake in the first place.

Then, I actually told him something that I had never told the artifacts of the Yinzi clan.

Then, I got a reply I never expected.

The superimposition of countless small extraordinary things will give people a sense of destiny.

Now, Yato was shocked by this strange feeling and chose an option that he would never choose in the past.

Should have cherished him.

He shouldn't have been allowed to do the work over there.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless for me to destroy the shrine and work everywhere in the name of "Yato".

It should have been rejected.

But after the safe zone he had been living in was destroyed, the fanaticism that broke through everything and could go anywhere made him unable to use his usual judgment standards in everything abnormal.

So, he chose to agree.

"It's still too late to take back what I said before, just be a good boy and just wait here obediently for me to come back."

"Never."

The appearance of the clear and clear blade stained with human blood has a strange beauty.

It's like dripping thick ink in transparent water and spreading it in a flocculent smudge.

Especially when the light of the knife flashed, reflecting Yato's own eyes.

Half covered by unshed blood.

It is a sharp knife.

It has been that way from the beginning.

In Yedou's eyes, Mingyin always likes to do things that will hurt her.

It seems that this is used as an atonement, or there is a habit of that.

He didn't want to correct or avoid this instinctive habit left in his soul, but just accepted it as a character.

This time, thinking about it now, it is probably the same thing.

However, it's a little different.

What's different.

"Are you leaving, Yato."

Nora folded his hands in front of him, and looked at the boy in kimono who turned his back to him and pushed open the sliding door.

In his hand he still held the knife that Zhen himself had brought.

It seems to be called Mingyin?

I hope it's better not to interfere with my father.

"Yeah." Yato glanced back at her, then jumped down the steps and teleported to another place.
