To the eternal you

She was forced to be her fiancée by her younger sister, the general, and she wore a small dress that was meant to be worn on a date no matter how you look at it.

In short——it was brought outside in such a daze, just in time for the last maple period.

The red leaves fluttering all over the sky are rustling, like the living beings living here.

Life is as gorgeous as a mountain cherry, and death is as quiet and beautiful as a red maple.

The red maple represents "missing" in the culture of Daozuma's garden, and Daozuma people like to call it "Hongye hunting" when viewing red leaves in autumn.

It's just that why the general brought her here, Qi has no idea, maybe he wants to use the scenery to express his feelings, or this red maple forest has some special meaning for her.

But after coming here...the girl and the general were silent without saying a word.

"..." The general reached out to catch the maple leaf, then threw it away, and waited for another leaf to fall into his hand.

"..." Qi watched her repeating such childish and boring behavior with a delicate expression.

Nothing to talk about.

Although the relationship between her and the general is indeed not good enough to chat casually, let alone in this situation where they don't know much about each other.

Moreover, the girl glanced at her quietly, then quickly turned her gaze back, muttering dissatisfiedly in her heart, not knowing what the general was thinking at all.

"That, that..." Qi thought that such a time was very difficult, and he couldn't help but tiptoe up and down, and the fingers hidden behind his back were clenched tightly.

"This is the cemetery where Da Nayan, who was as close as you and your family, was buried for the last time a long time ago."

The general's eyes fell on the depths of the maple forest, as if talking about what to eat tonight.

"Her name is Tsubaki."

"..." The girl's eyes dimmed slightly, and she pursed her lips.

"I think you should want to see it."

the general said softly.

"Am I really suitable? If it's really a close relationship like a family member, I'm a fake person who has no memory of her at all. It will only make that Tsubaki-sama feel offended."

The girl was lying on the railing, looking at the depths of the red maple forest as well. It was dark and fiery red. The road of red maple is not enough to make the forgotten people regain their past thoughts.

"Pray for fear."

In the distance, a few birds landed on the branches of the maple tree, tilted their heads, and reflected the general and the girl below in their pure eyes.

"Worry gets deeper and deeper, and gradually becomes the thunder and lightning prayer in the eyes of others."

"I...I don't want to be anyone, and I don't want to inherit that heavy expectation."

The girl's eyes hidden under her forehead became darker, and she spoke again in a dull voice.

"The glory of the departed will be eternal. Even if one day it is forgotten, it does not mean that the thing that is expected to be passed on will no longer exist. But if one day, a replacement appears, her every word and deed will be watched , the thoughts of the past will also come to the door, but who can know that what I am doing now is appropriate."

"So, what if one day it's Qi's turn to face such a choice?"

The general was still standing beside her, calmly watching the same thing as her.

"Me...? If one day I disappear and another "I" emerges, then I hope to entrust this feeling to her and let her live freely. "

The girl stood up and stretched out her palm to feel the warmth of the sun.

"There shouldn't be two completely similar people in the world. It doesn't matter which side is good. People should be unique... irreplaceable."

"Then, I can confirm again. I like you, Raiden Qi, and the current Qi, no matter what you change into, whether it's your appearance or your name."

The general turned his head and smiled calmly.

"As long as Qi's core is still Qi, I will not give up my duty to protect you."

"Hmph. It's useless. It's okay to lie to children with such sweet love words. I won't be fooled. The general needs to study hard! The general in the field of love is too weak!"

The girl turned her head away from her, her tone was a little complicated.

"Is that so...Sorry, it's also the first time I've set foot on such a battlefield."

The general's voice drew closer.

"General, you don't have to force it. It doesn't matter if you make appointments with some places you are used to. Anyway, it's cooking in the end. It's more convenient to be nearby."

The girl moved a step involuntarily, and the milky white calf under the skirt was gracefully curved, and moved back slightly.

"Here it is." The general stroked his drooping hair that was a little messed up by the breeze, and his purple eyes were full of incomprehensible emotions.

"Besides Tsubaki, you in the past are also buried here."

"..."

The girl sighed helplessly.

"So, is the general really right? If I really have the charm to capture people's hearts, it shouldn't be a special first time like this. I will go to some places frequented by couples. At least it is more suitable for talking sweet words, right? .”

"Does that matter?" The general tilted his head in confusion.

"At least in terms of atmosphere, there is still a difference, and when a couple comes out to talk, point to the scenery that they thought was good, and suddenly say, "This is the grave where you and your family were buried in the past." . "

He raised his eyebrows angrily.

"If it was the first time I came here, I might have thought that you were going to bury me in the ground just like that, to see if I could exchange the quality of the past "Raiden Qi". "

"Ah, I really thought that if I sow the flower of heart into the land, can I harvest a lot of prayers in the coming year."

The general showed a serious expression of thought.

"But now I think one is enough."

"why...?"

Rarely did the girl raise her spirits and asked.

"If you do that, it will make prayer sad...and I want to realize it from reality rather than through that method."

When the general's eyes fell on the young girl, she couldn't help but feel her heart tremble, and she took a few steps back one after another, covering her chest with both hands.

"Be one with me, please."

"So after all, you're just greedy for my body, aren't you?!"

Startled by the girl's embarrassing cry, the bird flew high into the sky and flew towards the peak of the cherry blossoms. The eyes of the white bird flying high in the sky continued to reflect everything below, and Qi was fighting against the general who was trying to move.

"Woo—I can't take it, the general is really bad!"

"But I'm honest, and I deserve the credit."

Wrapping his hands around the girl's slender waist, the general's cheeks were extremely close, staring carefully at the girl whose face was getting redder, and said softly.

"Also, if Ki didn't like it, he would probably say something like "Don't ask me out again, you boring guy." "

"Then please work harder, like a reliable adult woman! I really don't like it!"

The girl's small powder fist began to hit the general's face, but it didn't move.

——The girl is praying——

"So... is it such an important thing?"

Kanli Ayaka frowned at this time, her mind was a little confused, trying to find the next way to break the situation in the information that her brother told her.

The family banquet held tonight was not as usual. The two brothers and sisters decided on the next development direction of the club together, but they were stunned by a heavy news. The general is going to hold a banquet, only for Narugami Taisha Shrine Participate with the three major patriarchs and their families, and more important things will be announced at the banquet.

In fact, most of the Sanfengxing had thought about this matter, and it was even the news leaked from the castle tower.

According to a certain Okaku-san, the general has often returned to the Ogoshokaku, where he seldom goes back in the past few days, and has prepared several clothes for young girls of the appropriate age. The wedding dress, and She Fengxing relied on her powerful intelligence capabilities to find out from her that the wedding dress ordered was for a girl-shaped person, not for a general.

What is this for?

Is Narugami-sama going to give a gift or... Everyone has thought of an impossible "possibility".

The entire Inazuma is qualified enough for the general to do this, and there are only two candidates among the three major disciplines, one is Hiiragi Chisato who is appointed to pursue the discipline, the other is Kamisato Ayaka who is the discipline discipline, and the figure of Kujo Saura who is pursued by Tianling is obviously irrelevant to the girl. , and strictly speaking, Ms. Hiiragi Qianli can be considered an older single, so naturally she can't be called a girl, let alone she also has her own lover.

Then the only suitable one is Ms. Ayaka Kamisato, coupled with Inazuma's well-known story of the past servant priestess and Ogosho-sama, it is simply a classic re-enactment.

This is also the reason why Lingren was anxious to come back to see his sister. He has been busy maintaining the operation of the continuation agency all these years, so he has inevitably lost a lot of care for his sister. Although he feels guilty, he has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to make up for it.

What's more, the girl's parents have grown up, and they are not as dependent on the elder brother as before, especially after the incident that happened in childhood, he has always felt a little estranged from Linghua.

But under the family banquet, the serious things that should be said naturally need to be said, but he doesn't think his sister is the one who has a divine connection.

After all, Ayaka Kamisato seldom enters or leaves the castle tower. In terms of authority, she really has no reason to go in if she has no business to do. However, this part of external affairs has always been handled by Ayaka, and she has never heard reports from retainers that the young lady has What a strange move.

Diligence and perseverance are her truest side. If Ling Hua really wants to be secretly with the general for the rest of his life, as an elder brother, he will naturally not have any opinions, but wishes that everyone would know the best.

It's just that Linghua was excluded from the possibility, and then the clues became confused again. Leaving aside which girl received the favor, this ceremony alone was enough for him to have a headache.

This... There is nothing to learn. Inazuma has been so long, and the period of the closest relationship between Sha Fengxing and Naukami-sama was 500 years ago, and they did not get together in the end. Instead, they were both on the day of the gods It is true that people have been sung about leaving, but that doesn't mean they are bold enough to start making up how their wedding is held.

This is not as simple as marrying each other among the three worships. This kind of marriage is easy to handle, but now it is a god of a country, and the size is different. If the general is not satisfied, he will not be the head of the society. Want to sit down.

Ayato, who was forced to work overtime after the family banquet, fell into painful contemplation.
