Heiankyo love story

Jiang Xue gave up even ringing the bell, and made a desperate bet that Suzaku would hear her call.

Didn't I say it before?

In the future, if you encounter danger, you can call my name-you must do what you said!

If you can't do it, next time she hangs herself at the gate of Abe Seimei and scares Suzaku to death—!

The faster the mind runs, the slower the flow of time feels.

Jiang Xue felt that she had been waiting for a few minutes. The fear of seeing the monster's fangs approaching made her want to jump off the bridge, but she still wanted to gamble!

Minamoto Raihisa's sword and Asakura Leaf's charm were both a little slower, and there was a tragedy of monsters hurting people.

At the very moment, red flames and white divine light soared into the sky, and the god general Suzaku parried the monster's minions with the magic sword, forcing the monster to retreat, quickly looked back at Jiang Xue, nodded with a smile, and then rushed to Yokai.

Only then did Jiang Xue gently let go of the heart in her throat, and exhaled with lingering fear.

The perception of time returned to normal in an instant, and all the senses came back together, roaring with fear and panic.

Only then did she feel that she was trembling involuntarily, and almost involuntarily read the name of the general who was fighting the monster in front of her.

"Suzaku..."

She gambles with her life on a possibility. Even if she believes she will win, she will always feel afraid. Although she can reload the file and restart, she does not want to increase the experience of death for no reason. When she believes that she is out of danger, the fear recedes, and the gambling The surprise and elation of winning overwhelmed her, and the thrill of gambling her life on the line of life and death made her even more difficult to calm down.

——Perhaps this is the origin of the "suspension bridge theory".

Jiang Xue did not deny that when Suzaku appeared, she couldn't help feeling grateful for the general who appeared—if it was an ordinary girl, it would be completely logical to fall in love with the lifesaver at this moment.

At this time, a blond goddess will walk up to Jiang Xue, taking her excited trembling as the aftermath of fear, gently hugging her into her arms, and comforting her softly: "Please don't be afraid, Your Highness Xue Ji. I am Tianyi. Suzaku will destroy that monster, and you are safe."

Jiang Xue was suddenly embraced in a warm and soft embrace, and was gently stroked on her back. She couldn't help but feel dazed, just like she would feel tired after running fast. In times of crisis, the abnormal thinking quickly moved away, and compensatory thinking appeared slow.

It took Jiang Xue a while to react, she stepped back a little, and looked up at the general who was holding her at the moment.

——This is a beautiful woman with beautiful blond hair and a beautiful face, with a gentle demeanor and gentleness.

This is Earth General Tianyi, who is good at harvesting and is good at building barriers and healing. He is the only one among the twelve generals who has no fighting ability.

Jiang Xue followed Tianyi's words with a look of lingering fear, hesitated for a moment, and then asked knowingly with a puzzled look: "Ah, are you also... the Twelve Generals?"

The blond goddess nodded with a smile, and explained while building a barrier for Jiang Xue: "Master Seimei once told us about the barrier of Fujimoto's family... I also heard Suzaku talk about Her Highness Xue Ji, I I've wanted to see you for a long time, but I haven't had a suitable opportunity. I'm very glad that Her Highness Xue Ji can trust Suzaku so much—at such a dangerous time, Her Highness Xue Ji called Suzaku's name without hesitation... Thank you very much Her Highness Xue Ji's trust in Suzaku. Are the two over there friends of Her Highness Xue Ji?"

"Uh……"

Jiang Xue turned to look at the two over there.

Minamoto Raiku couldn't see the gods because he didn't have the power to see ghosts. He probably guessed that there was some invisible existence fighting monsters here. Now he could only hold the knife and stand by. Lai Jiu trembled almost subconsciously, and then showed a regretful expression.

——The way she called the god general Suzaku without thinking just now seems to have hurt this loyal warrior?

Jiang Xue made a note in her heart, reminding herself to make amends afterwards.

As for the other...

King Ma Cangye could clearly see the general, so he simply put away the spells at this moment, and concentrated on watching the general Suzaku destroy the monsters.

Well, this guy doesn't seem to be injured physically or mentally—he's a person outside the range of the strategy anyway, even if his soul is injured, he won't lose his favorability, so whatever.If a big man is so fragile, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Jiang Xue very heartily ignored the psychological shadow that might have been caused to the Onmyoji by her behavior of asking the Onmyoji to protect her without hesitation when she encountered a monster, and quietly answered the God General Tianyi.

"That samurai is a vassal of the Fujiwara family and is currently my bodyguard. Onmyoji Asakura-sama is... well, an acquaintance I would like to be friends with but I don't know what he thinks."

Well, that's right, if we simply talk about "friends", she welcomes handsome and talented people like King Ma Cang Ye.

Tianyi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then showed a gentle smile. Feeling that the girl in his arms was no longer trembling, he opened his hand lightly, but still stood beside Jiang Xue to open the enchantment for her.

"I think...if Her Highness Xue Ji wants to be friends with someone..."

Tian looked forward to the lover whose fighting spirit was high because of being called and trusted, and easily eliminated the monsters, and said with peace of mind and confidence: "Then, no one will reject Your Highness Xue Ji. Because you have such a gentle heart... "

Jiang Xue didn't quite understand why Tianyi was so friendly when they first met her this time—maybe it was because of the well-established identity and background, so the initial favorability was high?Jiang Xue can only guess like this first. In fact, she doesn't care about the reason. For a person who can't wait to maximize everyone's favorability, there is no need to delve into the reason why others like him. If they don't like him, then they need to study it. .

Moreover, Tianyi's embrace is really reassuring!

If it wasn't for the fact that it was not appropriate to hold her any longer, Jiang Xue would really like to hold her for a while longer.

If Tianyi's attitude was indifferent, Jiang Xue would still be a little more reserved, acting like a noble princess. Now that Tianyi has shown such kindness, Jiang Xue climbed up the pole, blushing slightly, "plucked up the courage" to use both hands Holding Tianyi's hand, he raised his head to look at this gentle goddess general expectantly, and said shyly and worriedly under the doubting eyes of the other party: "I... If I want to be friends with God general... Will I Too wishful thinking? I... Will I see you again in the future?"

Tianyi thought that something happened, but when he heard "Fujiwara Xue Ji" say such words, he couldn't help but smile slightly, nodded and replied: "I'm very happy——If Your Highness Xue Ji wants to see me, call my name, I will hear."

"... Tianyi?"

Jiang Xue read the name softly, let go of her hands quickly, as if embarrassed, took out the cypress fan to half-block her cheek, and put down the cypress fan after a few seconds, as if she couldn't believe it, said softly: " But...if it's just an insignificant matter...or just wanting to see you, calling you at will...wouldn't it bring you trouble?"

The blond general smiled and shook his head, just at this time Suzaku came back and patted her on the shoulder, Tianyi turned his head and nodded to Suzaku with a smile, the two completed the communication with eyes instead of words, Tianyi replied with a smile: "No way...His Royal Highness Xue Ji...to be summoned by humans is the wish of our god general."

"That's right—! Just like just now..." The red-haired general coughed, turned his head away, felt uncomfortable because he was not used to saying such words, and said loudly on purpose: "When you are in danger, Xue His Royal Highness Ji thought of me. I am very happy."

"Ah...that's good..." Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief, patted her heart lightly, lowered her head and said, "I'm still worried that my reckless behavior will cause you trouble."

The god general Suzaku waved his hand, and said with a hearty smile, "Not at all! Please don't worry! But, why did His Royal Highness Xue Ji come to a bridge? It's not safe here..."

"That's right, even in the daytime, monsters began to appear on a bridge. Master Qingming also came to check it before, but he didn't find anything at that time."

The sky looked worried and sighed softly.

"Master Seimei once wanted to seal off this place, but he was afraid that doing so would cause unnecessary panic, so he only let Shikigami watch over here..."

"Uh……"

Jiang Xue looked at the two generals with a bit of embarrassment. Obviously, these two generals looked gentle, but if she didn't give a reason, they might tie her back to Abe Seimei—huh?

Jiang Xue's heart moved, and she continued to be "difficult", and finally shook her head slightly, and said helplessly: "I have a reason to do this."

The two god generals looked at each other, Suzaku scratched her hair helplessly, and motioned for Tianyi to speak, Tianyi didn't shirk, gently held Jiang Xue's hand, and said with a gentle smile, "If Her Highness Xueji is not willing to send that If you tell me the reason, can you tell Master Seimei? Master Seimei already knows what happened just now, and I hope His Royal Highness Xue Ji can go to Abe Mansion, I wonder if it is convenient?"

Jiang Xue thought for a while, nodded, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe in the two generals...it's just..."

"Don't worry, I understand." Tianyi smiled and shook his head, "Suzaku also understands, right?"

Suzaku didn't really want to talk at first, but after being named by Tian, ​​he had no choice but to follow suit and say, "Don't think about it, if you don't want to say it, there must be your reasons. I believe you—just like you believe me."

Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, and her gloomy expression immediately brightened.

"Great...thank you, Suzaku and Tianyi."

Suzaku smiled and waved, while Tianyi said softly, "You're welcome."

Jiang Xue thought that there was Minamoto Laijiu behind him who couldn't see the gods, so she turned to explain to him: "Laijiu, here are the fire general Suzaku and earth general Tianyi among the twelve gods, they saved me... "

Minamoto Laijiu put away the knife, bowed to the two invisible generals ahead, and thanked earnestly: "Thank you two generals for saving Your Highness Xue Ji."

Jiang Xue looked at the self-blame on Yuan Laijiu's face, and knew that if she didn't do something, she would definitely lose her favorability.

Something must be said to change Minamoto's perception of "Yuki Ji doesn't trust me".

Compared with the seemingly dangerous practice of "the lord sends the samurai to the battlefield of death", "the lord does not trust the samurai" will completely shake the foundation of the samurai's loyalty.

Had to... say something.
