[Comprehensive] Peach blossoms are not cherry blossoms!

In the days to come, every morning, Tao could see Happy running in from the gate while shouting "Princess Lord", greeted him in the morning, and watched him leave in the evening. became her daily routine.Jinjian always sticks to her side during the day, chattering the same as before, as if he has endless words to say.

But Tao didn't find him annoying at all.

Sometimes, she would take him to the small village at the foot of the mountain to help the people with their work or give them things.

The little dagger who always complains about "it's so troublesome" and "I don't want to do it" when he is on duty in Honmaru when he is on duty at Hata, is unexpectedly quite obedient, and he also smiles when he is working, which is quite likable.

When meeting Yato occasionally, the two half-grown children would always stare at each other with a look of incompatibility, which made Tao a little confused and troubled.

Spring passed and autumn came, and then the first snow of winter fell again. When one day, the little dagger did not appear in the morning as usual, rain or shine, Tao was not used to it and was a little worried.

She followed Jin Jian's own spiritual power all the way to find it, and then found the little boy crouching under a tree with his knees hugged in a forest not far away.

He lowered his head, his expression was a little pale, and there was unprecedented depression and sadness in his small body, and he was so fragile that he didn't look like the lively little tengu flying around at all.

Tao squatted down beside him, reached out and stroked his soft hair.

The little dagger was startled, and then slowly raised his head, his ruby-like pupils were as dazed as a lost child, he looked at her, bit his lips, with grievance in his voice, "My lord..."

"What's wrong?" Tao wiped away the tears on his face with her sleeve, and lowered her voice, "What happened? Did someone bully you?"

Jin Jian stared blankly at her without speaking, and after a long time, he suddenly let out a sob and threw himself into her arms again.

Being hit suddenly by the small dagger, Tao almost fell down in a squatting position, but she managed to maintain her balance anyway.

Looking at the sobbing little guy in her arms, she sighed a little nerve-wrackingly, and softly comforted him while patting his back, "Okay, don't cry, be good~"

——Ah, when did she start to learn how to coax children in a gentle voice?

It's incredible.

At the beginning, she had sworn to the group of little guys that she hated children crying the most.

But in the face of the little dagger who would try to make her happy on weekdays, she couldn't just watch him secretly cry...

After all, he was also her sword.

Soon, as if he finally felt a little shy, Jin Jian withdrew from her arms and looked up at her, his eyes washed by tears were much brighter than usual.

"My lord, my lord... I'm sorry..." he said in a low voice, "I made you worry about me."

Tao looked at him, raised her eyebrows, stood up from the ground, tapped her numb leg and said, "Okay, if you're all right, tell me, what's wrong?"

Xiao Dian Dao seemed to be hesitant, but seeing Tao's serious expression, he bit his lip, lowered his eyes, and said in a frustrated tone, "I found out that although it is the same as what I remember, there is no one beside Yoshitsune. There is no such thing as a protective sword called 'Jinjian'..."

"Huh?" Tao was stunned, a little surprised, "How could it be?"

Jin Jian's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said in a low voice, "This kind of thing is not impossible. In the Sword Fusangshen, there are also facts that do not exist in real history, but because of the widely circulated legends The sword Fusangshin that was born in the story."

Tao blinked, "So..."

"So," Jin Jian looked up at her, "'Jin Jian' doesn't seem to be real either."

"..." Tao was speechless for a moment.

"Whether I met Yoshitsune on Mount Anma, the memories that accompanied him through life and death, and were with him until the end..." Tears gradually welled up in the eyes of the little dagger, "They all don't exist. . . . I am a sword that does not exist—"

Seeing his expression, Tao frowned slightly, she raised her hand, flicked the sad-looking Imai with her thumb and forefinger on the forehead, interrupted his words, and then met his blank eyes , and said in a domineering tone with his waist inserted, "Isn't that very good!"

Jin Jian was stunned for a moment. Since the reunion, he had never heard Tao speak in the same tone as before. He almost forgot that his lord's character was actually not so gentle and gentle.

"This means," Tao raised his chin, his water-red eyes gleamed brightly in the sunlight, "this sword has been my own from the beginning to the end~"

The ruby-like pupils opened wide in an instant, and the little dagger showed a shocked expression. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him, and then slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"I am the lord's sword..." He repeated the words softly, and then suddenly laughed happily, his clear and beautiful eyes were dazzling, "Mm! I am the lord's sword only!"

——Hey, what a moody kid~

Seeing the little tengu bouncing up and down again, Momo shook her head speechlessly.

"Ah, yes, my lord!"

As if remembering something, Jin Jian, who was circling around Tao, suddenly stopped suddenly, and then looked at her anxiously, "I remember, Lord Yoshitsune will go to seek refuge soon Aozhou..."

"Ozhou?" Tao tilted her head subconsciously, "Where is that?"

"It's in the north far away from Kyoto," Imaiken struggled, "Although I know I'm not Yoshitsune's real sword, but I still want to accompany him to the end...but if this is the case, I will I have to leave my lord—”

"Oh," Tao raised her eyebrows and waved her hand nonchalantly, "That kind of thing doesn't matter~"

"Eh?!" Jin Jian was taken aback, looking at her aggrievedly.

Tao blinked her eyes, "I'll just go with you~"

"!!"

……

So, in February of the next year, Tao bid farewell to Meiyu and Yato, and accompanied Koimken to escort Minamoto Yoshitsune and his party northward to Oshu.

In order to avoid the strict security of Kanto, they went to walk in the mountains with few people. Tao didn’t like dealing with humans, so she didn’t show up in front of people, but followed all the way from a distance, occasionally taking care of them, such as scaring off a few mountain robbers. Or directly kill a few demons and ghosts and other trivial matters. Although she has been complaining about their slow progress, but for the sake of Jinjian, Tao still endured it anyway.

It has been several months since I finally arrived in Oshu. Tao didn't care about this completely unfamiliar place. She went to the nearby villages to help a little, or chatted with the trees in the mountains and forests.

——And she finally found the location of the Atsugashi Mountain. No wonder Meiyu didn't know that the mountain was so far away.

She went around there. She didn't know if it was because the time hadn't arrived yet, so even though she searched the whole mountain, she couldn't find any trace of the time traveler.

In addition to being with Minamoto Yoshitsune, Jin Jian still often ran out to find her, or he seemed to be more attached to her than before.

Two years later, when a shrine dedicated to peaches was built in a village near Takadate, history has advanced to the day when Minamoto Yoshitsune committed suicide.

That whole day, Jinjian didn't come out, and Tao stood far away on the hillside, looking at the sky filled with flames and the roaring roar of killing, from early morning to late night.

When the land gradually quieted down, Tao waited for a long time, and then saw a small figure walking towards her from the darkness.

Because he also joined the battle, his body was stained with a lot of blood and dirt. He wore a few more armors than usual, and took off the small hat on his head. When he walked in front of her, he raised his head, showing With a cute smile, he said calmly, "My lord, I'm back."

Tao looked at him and nodded slightly. She raised her hand to touch his head, and then gently hugged him.

"...My lord?" Little Dagger was a little surprised, and then rubbed his cheeks, "Please rest assured, I'm fine. Yoshitsune, he... this time, I really accompanied him to the end~"

"From now on, I will be the knife that belongs only to the Lord Master!"

Tao gave a low "hmm", waved his hand, and healed all the wounds on the little dagger with spiritual power.

……

Momo sat on a high hillside with Imai to watch the sunrise. When the crimson dawn lit up the whole town, the mess after the war appeared in front of them at a glance.

Tao rested her chin and stared into the distance for a while, then sighed, "Isn't it time for Jinjian to go back to Honmaru?"

——The practice of the sword seems to send them to the original owner to regret and forget about the old things. Now that the original owner of the current sword has died, the practice seems to be over.

Hearing that, the little dagger who was in a trance turned his head hastily, "I, I don't want to go back! I want to stay by the Lord's side all the time!"

"...Is this not possible?" Tao looked at his wandering eyes clearly, and then patted his head, "Also, if you can go back, you can just tell those guys who are still waiting for me ..."

Imam looked up at her.

"Tell them, I'm fine, don't worry." Tao raised the corner of her mouth, her water-red eyes were full of smiles, "It's only a few months away from the battle of Azuga Shishan, so be patient ~"

"Then, my lord, you must come back!" Before Jin Jian left, he was still a little uneasy and unwilling. He tugged on Tao's sleeve, reluctantly, "I, we will always wait for you."

"Well," Tao nodded, "Go quickly."

The passage behind Jinjian was already lit up with white light, and Tao watched him walk in step by step, then pursed her lips and said, "Jinjian, tell them, if I haven't returned after a year...don't Wait for me again."

Xiao Diandao, who had already turned around and walked forward, froze suddenly, and he turned around abruptly, with a panicked look on his face.

However, at this time, the space-time channel has begun to gradually close.

She tried to reach forward, but she was blocked by something like a barrier, "It seems that the space-time channel of sword practice is only open to the sword that goes to practice..."

Shrugging helplessly, looking at the little dagger who seemed to be about to run back in the disappearing passage of time and space, Tao showed a comforting smile, and then waved at him.
