[One Piece] Inferior Star

Shi Jiang remembered this place.

She remembered the blue sky, the beautiful land, and the chic courtyard.She remembered, although she didn't know why she came back here suddenly, but she remembered everything.This courtyard, and the girl running from the end of the corridor——

"Big brother!!"

The girl's expression was slightly angry, but even her frowning couldn't conceal her natural beauty.Her long hair was raised high, and she was wearing clothes that were easy to move around. She tied up her sleeves again and again and shouted in the courtyard: "My lord brother! Where are you hiding?? Hurry up and come out to work for me!!"

"Shi Jiang?"

At this time, a voice came from the girl's side, and the sliding door next to her was opened a small gap, and someone poked his head out to look out: "Are you alone? Huh... you scared me to death... "So saying, the person inside the sliding door crawled out, he sat on the corridor and wiped his sweat, "Don't scare me! Shi Jiang!"

"My dear brother, what are you doing sneakily here?" Shi Jiang knelt down, looked at her elder brother and said, "Brother Kentaro... Sister Mitsuyo and uncle are here together?"

"Eh?! Hikari, Mitsuyo is here too!?" What's going on!Didn't uncle come alone!Kentaro panicked and began to straighten his hair and clothes.As Shi Jiang's elder brother, although he is not as stunning as Shi Jiang, he is still considered to be handsome - provided that he cleans up better.

Guangdai is not a member of the Five Ghosts Church.Her family did not have much contact with the main family for a long time because of intermarriage with foreigners, until one day, the daughter of the head of the family, Mitsuyo, was born.She was born with abilities that the entire Five Ghosts family could only dream of. Although she was not very powerful, some of them were just right.

Shi Jiang couldn't decide if this was a good thing or a bad thing.The innate ability to communicate with dreams most of the time only leads to disaster.However, for the Five Ghosts family, this is absolutely necessary.Therefore, diluting the blood of the mage is the greatest sin.Even Mitsuyo's father, who has left the family, firmly believes so——

The blood of the Wuguitang family must continue.If not now, when will it be?So, he who resolutely left at the beginning changed his mind, and once again "dedicated" his daughter.The only comforting thing in this story is that the person Mitsuyo is going to marry is Kentaro, and the two of them are not strangers.

"Did brother hide and paint again?" Shi Jiang looked at the room where Kentaro hid just now, there were still some paper and pens scattered in it, "to escape all the training of swordsmanship and exorcism, and hide here to paint. Brother Kentaro is really a person who will make mother and others angry."

"Don't, don't talk about such a horrible thing... I have thought about the reason why I don't go to the training, okay?" Kentaro said discouragedly, "But then there is no way to see Mitsuyo. Tokie, you Help me give this to her!"

As he said that, Xiantaro took out a scroll: "Look, I drew this for her!"

"Wow..." Looking at the unfolding picture scroll, Shi Jiang couldn't help sighing, his own brother was probably born in the wrong place.If it was the Mikoshiba family next door, would his amazing talent be respected?But in this place where generations of fighters belonged, all he got was scolding and sighs of disappointment.

Brother Kentaro can't communicate with the world of dreams, and he doesn't have any talent in swordsmanship. It's better to say that he is not good at sports.However, in the field of art, he may be a genius.

"She's very, very beautiful, isn't she?"

"Huh? Hmm!"

Shi Jiang nodded, at least Guangdai and his elder brother are in love with each other.This can be regarded as the last good thing.Kentaro looked at his absent-minded sister, he laughed and said, "It's good for you too, Shi Jiang. Don't worry. Mitsuyo and I...we will help you. Then you will be free. "

"Brother..." I...have an amazing talent.The ability to almost summon demons from another world is the hope of the family.However, for this, Shi Jiang had to pay the price of his entire life.She doesn't want to, no one wants to.She is still so young, she is so beautiful that the moon can be ashamed to hide behind the clouds, she should still be free to seek her own happiness.

At this time, the heart of the girl Shi Jiang was full of hope for the future.That hope made her more radiant.However, Shi Jiang now knows that the final outcome is that all the longed-for good expectations are shattered.From that decision onwards, everything—

"Shi Jiang?"

"!!"

When Shi Jiang came back to his senses, he found that his young self and his brother had disappeared in the corridor just now.Instead, there was a demure and beautiful woman in front of him: "Sister Mitsuyo..."

"Shijiang, we meet again. Is Kentaro okay?" Mitsuyo was still the age when she died. When humans die, everything about them will stop.Did the things that tormented her also stop?

"Sister Mitsuyo!" How long has it been since we met?When I woke up, my sister Mitsudai had passed away.Only the elder brother who stopped talking and their son who was overwhelmed were left behind.Shi Jiang hugged the relatives in front of him, "Oh my god, sister Guangdai, what's going on? Why did it become like this? When I went back, they said, they said you..."

"It's okay, Shijiang. It's not your fault." Mitsuyo patted Shijiang's head lightly, and she said, "Kentaro and I just hope that you can be happy, Shijiang. Did you get happiness in the end? ?”

"…………"pain.Pain emerges from the bottom of Shi Jiang's heart, did he get happiness?of course not.I lost everything.And then lost everything again.After losing it twice, I finally woke up.Shi Jiang said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry sister Mitsuyo... I'm sorry!"

"Ah... Shi Jiang... Maybe our destiny was determined from the beginning. But at least we have all fought for this, and we shouldn't regret it until the end, okay?"

"No, sister Mitsuyo... If, if I hadn't left home at that time, if I—"

"In that case Jiang won't be happy either?"

"But in that case, Sister Mitsuyo and Brother Kentaro will be happy!!" If he had inherited the position of Patriarch, then Sister Mitsuyo would not be under so much pressure, and in the end she would not be overwhelmed and end herself s life.If she hadn't escaped by herself, sister Mitsuyo might still be alive now, still be with brother Kentaro, and watch their children grow up...

"It's not your fault, Shi Jiang. None of us can predict what will happen in the future... Ah, Yulian seems to be able to." Still smiling gently, Mitsuyo wiped Shi Jiang's tears and said, " We can't predict the future, and we can't change the past. What's more, this is not only your choice, but also my and Kentaro's choice."

"Brother Kentaro, trust me..."

"He will always trust you, Shi Jiang."

"When I left home, I didn't know where he found so much money for me."

"...He sold his painting, Shi Jiang." Sure enough, he didn't tell you.Mitsuyo smiled wryly, and she said, "People in Huadu have long wanted his paintings, and even asked him to be a professional painter. But he refused and chose to be with the family."

"Brother Kentaro... for me..." For the sake of me, who had been deceived so much at that time, I gave up my own happiness.Ah... Shi Jiang, you are so stupid.Why are you still looking for true love in strangers?Someone is already willing to give up everything for you, why haven't you noticed?

Shi Jiang once again subconsciously covered his abdomen with his hands, which he hadn't noticed until now, the real... love.family.My family.Mitsuyo sister, Kentaro brother, and...

"Holy Son and 99..."

I remembered.I remembered everything.Those important missions, the one who must be waiting for oneself.

"Can you help me, sister Mitsuyo? Please help me, sister Mitsuyo."

"Of course, Shi Jiang. I will always be by your side."

As she spoke, Mitsuyo put her hand on Shi Jiang's shoulder, and she said, "This is an evil spirit that only you can defeat. Use your own strength to defeat it, Shi Jiang. My Wuguitang family will not fight against mere demons. yield."

"But, sister Mitsuyo, I need, I need Moon White and Crane Ash, I need the Exorcist Blade..."

"Yuebai and Crane Ash can only be handed over to the real heirs of the Five Ghost Hall family. Shi Jiang, don't forget." You rejected the position of Patriarch, and your daughter also rejected it like you.The one who finally mustered up the courage to pick them up was...

"99...?"

A young face appeared in Shi Jiang's mind.

"Is he okay?" Mitsuyo smiled, and she said, "What kind of person has he grown up to be? Shi Jiang? My son... What is his wish? Can you tell me?"

"He hopes...to be a person who can be alone, sister Mitsudai." Shi Jiang also smiled, and she said, "He hopes to be a person who can bring happiness to others." Just like you.He's just like you and brother Kentaro.

"I believe he needs your help, Shijiang." Mitsuyo said, "99 will be left to you."

Sister Mitsuyo, in your eyes, what do I really look like?You have always trusted me, but I am not as good as you imagined. 99 I have been handed over to someone more reliable than me.

As Shi Jiang thought about it, she suddenly saw a small figure in the courtyard, the girl with milky brown hair, holding a pair of knives in an immature posture: "You can't escape anymore, Mom."

You are right, Son.

"Now." Shengzi's voice became mature, and she turned into a beautiful woman like Shi Jiang, wearing a white 'justice' coat, putting on her hat again and again, turning around and preparing to leave, "It's time to forge your own path Yes, mother. That's what you told me, too?"

It doesn't matter if you don't belong to the Five Ghosts.It's okay to drop the name.It doesn't even matter if you don't maintain the family.It's okay to let it go down the drain.There is only one mission that cannot be forgotten, and only one job that cannot be abandoned.When this declining bloodline became the only power in the world capable of killing evil spirits——

Never back down no matter how scared you are.

No matter how painful it is, don't fall down.

"It's almost time to end the reminiscence session. Demon."

Shi Jiang drew out his knife.She didn't even realize that her weapon was always in her hand.It is not moon white or crane gray, and it does not belong to the traditional family that has been covered up in history.It's just a weapon, the only blade in the hands of a woman who, after suffering and remembering the past, finally decides to stand up and forge a new path—

It has no name, but is full of 'courage'.

"I will fight you alone!"

With that said, courage pierced the illusion!The light of the knife draws an elegant arc in the air, no longer bound by the past, but remembering the past.Freedom to fulfill ancient traditions.If this bloodline is the last weapon, then the Five Ghosts family will never admit defeat.

"—Shi Jiang!!!"

The monster-like roar smashed the fragments of the illusion, and the dry branches rushed out of the broken space like tentacles!

"Master Yu Sheng!"

However, Shi Jiang will not back down, she said: "I will cut off your head too?!"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The Holy Son has opened up a brand new path. Even if the blood of the Wuguitang family disappears eventually, the people who killed the evil spirits will not disappear.The thin 'blood' was saved in another way, and Shi Jiang must have gained the courage to fight because of it... However! !

Both Shijiang and Chiharu said: I will fight you alone!

This is the chapter where everyone conquers their inner fears and forges a new path!

In fact, our Xiangxiang's birthday is approaching (November 11th), and there will be a special episode on that day hahahaha... the cover!I can't draw anymore! !It's not because games and cartoons are so interesting! ! !
