In the middle of the sunset, the crows and birds return to their nests.

Wu Se stood alone in the cemetery, his thin figure looked a bit bleak, but he was extraordinarily tall and firm.

In the palm of his hand, the phone number and address that Dengshi's mother-in-law left for him still exude the residual warmth of a piece of paper.

Recalling how the old woman cried when she left with heavy makeup all over her face, her colorless mouth pursed, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved with joy.

……

"Damn kid... go find your mother yourself..."

Wiping the eyeliner blurred by tears with the handkerchief provided by Wu Se, the mother-in-law Dengshi, whose face was smeared with make-up, returned to her previous mean and bitter appearance, but looked at Wu Se with kind and gentle eyes.

"The hotel I opened is on the east side of the town, the famous Kabukicho, where your mother Wuzi worked... If you really don't have any place to go, I can provide you with a job and a place to live... There are There are many homeless people, they will take you well... I am too embarrassed to look like this today, and I will definitely be ridiculed by this woman when I go to Wuzi's grave with this face, so...you find it yourself, if you really find it If not, go home first, understand?"

"Well, I see. It's getting late, so you should go back earlier."

This time, Colorless consciously used honorifics.

Unlike the hostility when they first met, the colorless face at this time was calm, and when he looked at Dengshi, he also looked like an obedient junior.

"What a fickle brat..."

Deng Shi sighed with a smile, pulled out the gold-edged folding fan from his cuff, and wanted to slap his forehead very quickly, but was blocked by the colorless Ge who raised his hand suddenly.

"I have already comprehended the spirit of Bushido and the supreme swordsmanship...so, don't hit me casually!"

Said, Wu Se raised his brows and eyes, his usually expressionless face now showed a bit of vivid cunning.

Deng Shi was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at his folding fan with a little shock, Fang murmured,

"When did you learn..."

"Don't ask so many old people, the greatest samurai will be defeated by young people... I'm very smart, I'll say it casually~"

Wu Se, who was beaten by Deng Shi at first without any resistance, was now so happy that he even raised his tail, put his wrist on his chest confidently, and laughed wantonly to himself.

The moment he touched Granny Dengshi, a series of system prompts rang in Wu Se's ears.

Because he sincerely comforted Dengshi this time, his good and evil values ​​showed positive growth for the first time.In contrast, he naturally received a large amount of rewards from the Haosao Nian system.

In addition to being the Queen of Kabukicho and the proprietress of the inn, Granny Dengshi herself has another very important identity—that is, she was once a female ronin with excellent sword skills.

It was precisely because of the active help and sincere kindness that Wu Se was able to use her devouring ability to automatically exchange for 22 hours worth of swordsmanship on Dengshi's mother-in-law.

Although the fighting technique he used just now was a bit rough, it still looked good.

Colorless doesn't have any other outstanding powers on him right now, being able to master this at least shows that he has hope in the future.

Just as she was thinking like this, the mother-in-law in front of her spoke again.

"That's why I misjudged... Heh."

Gently hiding the surprise in her eyes, the old woman covered her face with a veil, and she was looking forward to this young man who had only been together for a few hours but had already comprehended her moves.

"The true meaning of kendo is not something you, a fool, can grasp with a few gestures... If you are really interested in kendo, next time we meet, I will find you a real teacher... That is a good guy, oh , By the way, remember to buy a box of strawberry sundaes for the apprentice ceremony."

After finishing speaking, the old woman said no more, turned around neatly, and left the cemetery slowly stepping on wooden clogs.

……

After reminiscing, Wu Se, who was walking on the slope of the cemetery, searched for his mother's grave alone.

Whenever he passed a tombstone, he could see a gray and white photo pasted on the marble monument.

In those photos, there are white-haired old people, young girls, immature children... There are many strange but heart-wrenching faces.

He walked around, seeing these once lively lives turned into this little dirt bag in the end, his heart was unexpectedly a little chilly.

The self in the previous life has died so that there is not even a scum left... Who else will remember his death?

I don't even have such a decent tomb... and I can't return to my mother's side to serve...

Just as he was thinking like this and walking forward slowly, suddenly, a burst of extremely low and suppressed crying sounded into his ears.

"Dad...I've let you down...I can't fulfill your wish! I'm...useless...I'm useless, I'm too far behind...Dad...I'll never be a real Olympian ..."

Colorless's hearing is pretty good, and he can hear the general idea of ​​such an intermittent voice.Looking up, he saw a young man about his age crying sadly not far away. He paused, thinking about whether to walk over, but he had already stepped on a dead branch in the bush, and let out a groan. There was a lot of movement.

There was a crisp sound of "Gra", and the purple-red haired boy kneeling in front of the No. 6 cemetery raised his head in shock.

"Who! Who is there!"

Furious and flustered, he wiped away the tear stains on his face a few times. The handsome young man with wine red hair stood up all of a sudden, showing a mouthful of sharp white teeth in a threatening direction towards the colorless direction.

"Sorry, I just came to worship..."

Looking at the young man with a blank face, he wanted to explain his intentions with a rare natural and polite attitude, but the young man who suddenly rushed forward and grabbed his collar interrupted the conversation.

"Who are you! Why are you eavesdropping on me!!"

The young man's hysterical roar made it harsh and rude, and his colorless face, which was not very good-tempered in the first place, suddenly darkened.

"Tsk... I didn't hear anything... So, here! Me! Let go! Open!"

Narrowing his eyes sinisterly, Wu Se, whose mood was ruined by this reckless guy, had already started to think in his mind whether it would be better to cut off the boy's neck with a hand knife, or kick this impolite bastard to death.

"No... you must have heard... what did you hear... what did you hear..."

Gritting his teeth and tugging at the collar of the colorless pullover, the burgundy-haired boy stared at colorless nervously, and there was only this sentence in his mouth over and over again.

"..."

Where is this lunatic who ran out... Did he want me to hear it or didn't he hear it...

Some speechless, colorless eyes drooped thoughtfully.

[——Article [-] of the Criterion of Good Sao Nian, always full of curiosity about stories with hidden feelings (^U^)ノ~YO——]

[——What a showy year~ Hurry up and ask about the little secret buried in Matsuoka Rin's heart~ You can get rich rewards after completing the mission~(^U^)ノ~YO——]

"Heh, Matsuoka Rin's little secret? So... I just need to ask him what's behind his panic?"

Hearing the metallic notification sound of the mission again, he tilted his head colorlessly, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened in a malicious arc.

【Ah... Theoretically speaking, this is true... You should also pay attention to the use of the method... We don't advocate that kind of violent method... Speaking of Sao Nian, you want to be a magic horse to other young people... (⊙_ ⊙)】

The system seemed to sense Wu Se's full of malice, and the tone was considered to test his thoughts, but before it could find out anything, Wu Se, a skinny young man who was half a head shorter than the other party, used a beautiful move. The shoulder threw Rin Matsuoka, who was pulling his collar, to the ground. At the same time, he stepped heavily on his back with one foot, and said viciously,

"Tsk... This uncle hates the damn bastards who touch me casually... Tell me! Why are you crying here? If you don't tell me, I will beat you until you say it. Do you hear me?"

System: 【...O__O】
