Just let time stand still at this moment.

Yukimura's consciousness finally emerged from the dream.At the same time, Kurama's spirit returned to his body. At this time, the sky was already twilight, and the morning light gradually spread from a distance. Yukimura, who felt that the light was a bit dazzling, woke up on the shoulder of the demon fox, but smelled a bloody smell. .

With trembling hands, he wiped the pale-faced Yaohu's wrist, his hands full of generosity.The blood flowing between his fingers almost burned his eyes.

"Hidden horse? Hidden horse!" His fingers trembled a little, but he still shook the person leaning against him.

"...It's so noisy." Zangma rubbed his temples. The behavior of entering the dream just now was chaotic and crazy. His mental power was almost exhausted. He was feeling the pain in his head and was shaking back and forth again. Almost fell over. "Don't shake, I'm dizzy..."

Even Yukimura's recovery of consciousness cannot be relaxed.It is very clear that the malice has not disappeared completely, it has just been suppressed again.If you don't eliminate them all in one go, it will become a ticking time bomb after all.

"What's with the malice?" Zangma asked decisively.

The thin morning light leaked in through the gaps in the windows, casting shallow shadows.

"...It was left over from the Holy Grail War." Yukimura looked down at his bloody fingers, the familiar smell of blood. "I just found out that it still exists. After all, I haven't used that ability a few times."

"Can it be removed?"

"It's good to use demon power to clean it up. After all, it's not the real body of the evil in this world, it's just some shadows, but it's not easy to bear."

"I'll continue to watch tomorrow night." Kurama still maintained a hugging posture, rubbed his hair vigorously, and said in a low voice, "If you lose, I will never forgive you."

"I always feel underestimated." Yukimura shook his head, with complicated and deep emotions surging in his eyes. "Zangma, you are too messy. If we were not careful just now, we would all be trapped in a dream."

But Zangma didn't answer him directly, but went to the window and looked at the faint morning light in the sky.Then he turned around and showed a warm smile: "But, it's already dawn, isn't it?"

"...What a foul." Yukimura was slightly taken aback, then held his forehead with his left hand, and sighed in frustration.

##

This should be regarded as the resolution of the crisis, in real communication.

The mutual temptation and barriers in the discourse have completely disappeared.The currents and contradictions under the ordinary are gradually resolved.The only thing that remained was the trace of a wound on Kurama's wrist that had not been healed, a touch of red.In his words, it is to leave a memorial, who made him never discover the truth buried in the years.

But their relationship is not like those young lovers, going to some movie theater park.The strong fragrance accumulated over the years does not require any heating, and naturally has a mellow fragrance.It's just that in the eyes of Yukimura Yuyin, her brother stepped into the opposite door more times than her own home, and Shuichi brother was trying to win the favor of his mother intentionally or unintentionally.

"Brother, are you going to get a certificate?" One time after school, Brother Xiuyi was helping Youyin, who was trying his brother's taste, take off his baseball cap, sat down at the dining table, and looked helpless.

"...Youyin, why do you think so?"

"Trying to cover up." Youyin raised her arms and leaned against the door, her eyes, which were pure and bright a few months ago, were mixed with a shrewd look. "Sister Mami said that people who get along in such a natural and harmonious way are called old couples."

"Youyin, I'm still trying to taste it." Choking on it, Kurama put down his spoon, and quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin.And the more eccentric Youyin sister was a red-haired boy approaching Wen Wenxiuya, and asked, "Brother Xiuyi, how are you and my brother doing now? Have you told mom?"

"I haven't told my aunt yet."

"...Are you admitting it now? I thought I would cover it up like last time." Youyin rubbed his chin strangely.

"That's because there are some things that cannot be admitted." Kurama said quite simply. "Maybe I'll be honest with my aunt next time."

"...How did you capture my brother? Or did he capture you?"

"Yuyin, why have you become so gossipy after only a few months of junior high school?" Yukimura brought out the miso soup.He didn't know how to cook in the past, but after so many years, he thought that he couldn't treat himself badly, so although the food he made was not top-notch, it still tasted good.

"Mom won't come home today, Brother Xiuyi, tell me your story. How did my brother hide it so well? I didn't see him having a troubled period of love at all a few months ago. It's just that he's lost his mind recently. , I didn’t think of it at first, but when Asami-senpai reminded me, I realized instantly that there is no such thing as a woman who can bother my brother, so it must be a boy who is so difficult.”

"Eat." Yukimura tapped his sister's head with a spoon, in exchange for little Lolita's aggrieved stare. "There are some things I can't tell you."

"Don't tell me, I'll tell mom to go!"

"Yuyin, are you darker than your brother?" Yukimura showed an elegant Widowmaker smile, causing Yuuyin to shrink her neck reflexively. "I remember, you like Lian Er, do you want me to mention it to him..."

"Brother, just don't do that! I will never tell my mother about your relationship with Brother Xiuyi!"

This sentence was shouted very loudly, but at this moment, the door opened.

There was the sound of a handbag clattering to the ground at the entrance, and Yukimura Miyo, who came home from work early, looked at the three happy people in the restaurant as if sleepwalking, with a blank expression on her face.

"...Mom? Why are you back?" Yukimura knew that things had turned to the worst direction.

"Brother, I was wrong..." Youyin quickly shrank her body and hid behind Kurama.But Kurama's expression was still calm, maybe only Yukimura could see the tension hidden under his calm mask.

Although the monsters didn't care about gender issues at all, as humans, they must care about their parents' thoughts. Now Kurama, who is alone, has no troubles in this regard, but the Yukimura family must pass the hurdle.

"You guys, who will explain to me? What's going on with dating...?" Yukimura Miyo drifted to the table like a wandering spirit with a reorganized expression on her world view.The news of her son coming out was so shocking that it almost took up all the space in her brain.

"Aunt Miyo, as you heard, we are dating." Kurama stood up very politely and saluted, then grabbed Yukimura's hand with his backhand.

"But, but you all..."

"Mom, I like him." It's too late for a showdown, Yukimura glanced at Kurama, and said firmly.

"Seiichi, I know you and Xiuichi are very good friends, but this kind of friendship doesn't mean liking...maybe you like girls more." Miyo appreciates this independent child whose parents both died, but it doesn't mean She will lose her son.He just persuaded with a tactful tone: "You are young, maybe you were confused for a while..."

Are you young?

It is precisely because we have experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs that we can find the end here, so we cherish every minute and every second of being together.Yukimura would not hurt his mother too much, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Mom, Xiuichi and I are not so simple and superficial."

"I will tell you the truth, if you can accept it."

Family is the last existence in the world that should not be hidden.After Yukimura returned, he felt the warmth and consideration everywhere, felt the father’s love that he kept calling every week even when he was abroad, talked with him warmly, and felt the mother’s equal care for all children. This is what I was proud of before. Think tennis is something my own teenager didn't pay close attention to.

Sometimes, however, selective concealment is also a form of protection.So Yukimura decided to conceal part of the truth, and would not tell the truth about the too painful experience and the too cruel killing.If they didn't know anything, maybe they would live happily ever after, but it also meant that one day, he would be suspected by them because of his abnormality of not being able to age due to spiritual power transformation.

"That's a long story... Maybe it should start 500 years ago..."

The soup on the table has gradually cooled down.And the warm light has never been extinguished, and it is reflected on everyone's face fairly.Whether it was Yukimura Yuyin or Yukimura Miyo, immersed in such an almost dream-like experience, the twists and turns of the past and the ending of knowing each other and parting made them tremble uncontrollably.

"That is to say...Brother Xiuyi, is Mr. Cangma?"

Concealing the background of the demon world and the identity of the youkai, Yukimura looked at Kurama and nodded slightly.

"Do you trust me, Mom?"

"...It's so cunning, Jingshi. How could your mother not take it seriously when you tell this story so earnestly and emotionally? Although it is too bizarre, every mother believes in her child..." Wiping the corner of her eyes Miyo felt as if she was about to cry again, and she had no way to deny their relationship with the reason of being too young again. "I always feel that if I know this story, it will be too late for me to separate you. But your father is a very stubborn person, and you still have to convince him."

"However, Xiu... Kurama-kun, can you stay by Jingshi's side?"

Kurama never let go of the hand of Yukimura who told the story. When he heard this question, he stared at Miyo who was still wiping tears, and said very solemnly: "...I will accompany him until the end of his life. "

"...if only someone would say that to me one day." Youyin looked at the two handsome teenagers with her chin propped up, feeling a little emotional: "Sister Mami said that we haven't been able to find a good boyfriend recently. , It’s all because the beautiful boys are going to make money, and it’s true, if this news is known by the seniors in the school, the roof of Lihai University will probably be overturned..."

"However, are you going to get a certificate?" Miyo tilted her head, looked at them and said, "I will help pay for the certificate. Dad will cut it first and then play. You guys like to get the certificate."
