"No...no...please don't..."

Chitose Shiina grabbed the boy's arm in a panic and wanted to help him up, but she couldn't move at all.

"You are my child, I am your mother, what happened to make you say that? This is not like what you would say at all, Jing——!"

Kartikeye looked up at Chitose Shiina's face who was about to cry, feeling a little sour in his heart, he still insisted on his previous decision, smiled and said something that would make this lady unacceptable.

"I'm sorry, but I can no longer regard you as my mother. Kaguya's Chitose Princess...you are as smart as you, you should have seen it? At this moment, I no longer have a blood relationship with you, and I— —The name 'Jing' has long since ceased to be used. This may be a trick of fate, but it is my wish to choose to say goodbye. I am ashamed of you, and you can ask me for compensation."

"Do not……"

Chitose Shiina couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she cried and shook her head, wanting to reject this cruel reality.

She covered her face with her hands, unable to stand still in grief, her knees gave way, and she sat down on the ground.

"I don't want...to ask for any compensation...I just hope...my child can come back..."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. You can blame me, but, I can't get 'Kyo Shiina' back."

Kartikeye stood up, turned around, not to see Chitose Shiina's gaffe.

"Whenever you have decided what compensation you want, you can notify me at any time. Don't bother me anymore, Mrs. Chitose."

When Shiina Chitose heard these words, she broke down even more and cried.

When she heard the footsteps getting further and further away, as if she would never come back again, she suddenly looked towards the door and shouted out loudly.

"This is my mistake—! I couldn't possibly be your mother. This is the crime of my greed—!"

"Mrs. Chitose!"

Kartikye suddenly turned around and stopped the other party's words.

"Enough is enough, please don't say any more. Take this moment as farewell, take it all as my mistake, and let it end."

Shiina Chitose saw the clear sadness and uneasiness on the boy's backlight face through tears, she sobbed miserably, but couldn't stop wanting to laugh.

"No...how could I...put all the mistakes on you...I have been tortured by guilt for more than ten years, and now, it's finally time to pay back...It was me who made the mistake, and you...you just got hurt The deepest innocent child...you have the right to know the truth, instead of taking responsibility and shouldering the infamy. You have always been my proud child, but I am not a mother who can make you proud."

Even if Kartikeye changed his mind and didn't want to get to the bottom of the truth, and would rather leave with a bad name, he still had to face the fact that the mother of "Shiina Kyo" probably knew that he would encounter such a fate, and it was very likely that he would suffer such a fate under the influence of the gods. played an important role in the arrangement.

In the end, the life of "Shiina Kyo" has been full of ulterior calculations and sacrifices since birth, and the irreversible parting has been written on the wheel of "Shiina Kyo" since then. He and Natsume Reiko will always be together. They can only miss each other like this, his survival is the fate expected by the gods, but it has never been what he expected.

Kartikeye was silent for a long time, and sighed sadly.

"Why do you have to tell it? Isn't it good to keep it a secret forever?"

Chitose Shiina raised her head with tears all over her face, and said sadly: "No matter what, mothers have the right to protect their children. And you have the right to know the truth. I have been wrong for so long, how can I let you bear the infamy and divorce again?" go..."

Kartikeye turned his back and looked out of the door, and said softly: "Miss Chitose, you should know that I don't care about these infamy. I deserve it. I can no longer treat you as a mother, no matter what reason To explain, others are free to accuse me of . . . ”

"However, I don't want to hear someone criticize my child for no reason... He is so good, he should not be blamed by anyone."

After crying for so long, Shiina Chitose calmed down a bit, stood up slowly, sat down at the table, wiped away her tears, and calmed down a bit, then she whispered, "You just said that you no longer use the word '京'." Name, then, may I ask what should I call you?"

"...You can continue to call me 'Jing'."

After all, Kartikeye couldn't bear to make Shiina Chitose suffer too much.

Shiina Chitose did not continue to press the question, and said with a wry smile: "Kyo...'Kyo'...yes...that's the source of everything. In order to get the 'Blood of Mibu', in order to let the children who inherit this bloodline favor the Ise Shrine , I will leave the shrine."

Kartikeye's body shook, he clenched his hands, and stood silently at the door in such a posture that he couldn't see Chitose Shiina.

Some secrets have been hidden for too long, and once Pandora's box is slightly opened, the darkness inside will continue to fly out.

Shiina Chitose murmured to herself and recalled the past in those years.

"I was born in the Jingu, just like my mother... With the gift of the gods, I was born completely inheriting my mother's blood. Our blood has been sheltered by the Ise Jingu many years ago, I also use my life to repay the shrine. Every generation is a witch, and everything is for the benefit of the shrine. I obey the oracle and live obediently... Zhaigong loves me very much, and everyone takes good care of me. In the shrine, I I grew up carefree, received the favor of Amaterasu Omikami, and received the title of 'Kaguya', so I took it for granted that I would live in the shrine forever until I died."

"Kaguya's Chitose Princess" once received the same honor as "Yaoguang's Jingji", or it should be the other way around, because "Kaguya" was favored by Amaterasu earlier than "Yaoguang", she It is the earlier "Son of God", and it is the glory that completely belongs to the Ise Shrine.

Listening to the oracle and obeying orders, Kajiwara Chitose never thought of other ways of living.

"One day, Zhai Gong had a secret conversation with me and told me that there was a difficult mission for me to complete."

Chitose Shiina took a deep breath, and looked at the back of the boy by the door with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see his expression clearly through such a gesture of rejection.

"Saigong said that for the future of the world, Jingu needs more powerful power, and needs the sons of the gods. The blood of the Black Dragon God is not enough, we need stronger power - there is a family that once dominated the history of the Japanese island. With the power of gods and demons, even though this family has declined now, there is still immeasurable potential in that bloodline."

What else could such a description refer to?

Kartikeye sighed and said, "The Mibu clan."

"Yes, the Mibu clan."

Shiina Chitose smiled slightly, as if thinking of some warm past, but that little nostalgia was soon overwhelmed by sadness.

"This miraculous bloodline is 'hope'. However, after the Mibu clan withdrew from the stage of history, they avoided intersecting with those in power in the spiritual world or the secular world again, and the few descendants deliberately diluted the bloodline, constantly fighting with nothing. The mixed blood of ordinary people with no spiritual power has to be cut off on purpose. When I was still in Jingu, there was only one son of Mibu who knew that he had inherited the blood of Mibu. Saigu said, rather than let this miracle The bloodline fades over time, it might as well be used in the right place while the 'Blood of Mibu' still has power."

"The right place..." Kartikeye sneered, without making any comment.

He once accepted the teachings of the Ise Shrine, and walked around as a "son of God", how could he not know what they considered "correct"?

Shiina Chitose was a little ashamed, accepted the ridicule, and continued: "I never doubted Saigu's words, let alone questioned the oracle. On the same day, I left the Ise God when the Omi God asked me to find the descendants of Mibu. Palace, searched all over the country, and finally found Mibu's footprints in Yahara..."

Kartikeye couldn't keep calm anymore, he turned around in astonishment, his voice changed in surprise.

"Yahara?!"

Shiina Chitose was a little puzzled, but nodded.

"There is Mibu Forest in Yahara... where the secrets of the Mibu clan are hidden. Although I heard the news from the mouth of the monster, I couldn't learn more. I could only stay in Yahara and slowly find out who inherited the Mibu bloodline. .Later I finally found... Ryo Shiina, the last man who inherited Mibu's blood."

Hearing this, Kartikeye has already guessed the following text.

Forgive me, that's Shiina Kyo's father's name.

So, after that, "Kaguya's Chitose Princess" left the Ise Jingu without authorization, and her whereabouts are unknown, right?

However, in this way, one thing seems very strange.

"...Since the Ise Jingu asked you to find the descendants of Mibu, why did the Saigu say that they lost contact with you?"

Shiina Chitose looked at the boy in front of her, trying to find out what "Rang" used to look like from his facial features, but at this moment, she suddenly discovered that the part of "Jing" that was similar to "Rang" had disappeared at some point. The boy standing here at this moment has such a strange aura.What troubles her is that she knows what the name of something similar to this temperament is, because she has had close contact with beings with this quality.

This is not the breath that humans should have.

The son of God who possesses the blood of God... finally shed his pseudo-human shell completely.

The existence that Zhai Gong once wanted has been completed, but Jingu has lost such help forever.

They were all wrong. They never thought that the "son of Mibu" would have his own will, and not everyone would accept the life arranged by others for granted.

Chitose Shiina unknowingly wet her eyes again, and said softly: "Because I regret it... After I snatched him from my childhood sweetheart girl, I suddenly regretted it, and I don't want our children to repeat my life ...Therefore, I left Yayuan with Rang, and also left the eyeliner of the Jingu Palace, relying on the magic inherited by Rang to disappear..."

She thought of those years, when so many gods and demons followed them, they kept running away, repeating the path taken by the descendants of Mibu who lost the land of Mibu.

"...At that time, we encountered a lot of troubles, but in the end we managed to live in seclusion in Kyoto. In order to avoid the magic technique of the Jingu search, we gave the child two names, and used the names with different characters and the same pronunciation to confuse the magic techniques. Magic... We succeeded for a time. Because we had to avoid the ubiquitous monitoring of gods and demons, I couldn't use any spells... We carefully learned to live like ordinary people. However, I suffered a serious injury back then, and I have never been able to use magic. Recover...that's how you die in the hands of human killers..."

The descendants of the Mibu clan died in the hands of the mafia - this matter sounds incredible, but "Shiina Kyo" didn't think about it, he thought that his father didn't inherit the sword skills of the Mibu clan, and he didn't know those skills, which fits Mibu The current situation of the family's decline, so he never thought about it.

The truth turned out to be like this.

Kartikeye calmed down a bit and continued.

"Later, I met a ghost, and I used a half-baked yin and yang technique, and my spiritual power exploded, and I was found by the Ise Shrine..."

Shiina Chitose nodded silently.

Everything is connected.

In order to obtain "Shiina Kyo", the gods have thought about everything so thoroughly.

Let the grandfather of "Shiina Kyo" survive, let his father and mother meet, let him meet Reiko, weaving destiny skillfully with spiral time.

——They just sacrificed Reiko.

In the name of righteousness, in the name of the future, an innocent girl was sacrificed—the beloved girl of "Shiina Kyo".

In the end, who is innocent?

Kartikeye took a deep breath, let it out slowly, looked at Shiina Chitose who was bowing his head and said softly: "Miss Chitose, this is not your fault. If you think you are wrong, I forgive you. You give The flesh and blood of 'Shiina Kyo' allowed me to be born in this world... Even if I encounter many hardships in the future, it is not your fault. This is my fate, and I will face it myself."

Chitose Shiina covered her face and wept silently.

Kartikeye did not say goodbye again, and turned to leave.

Chitose Shiina knew that she would never be able to wait here for her son who promised to come back.

From this moment on, there is no longer any connection between the two.

She looked at the sun outside the window and burst into tears.
