Heiankyo love story

Facing Abe Seimei's call, Jiang Xue obediently walked over and sat down.

There was a flash of light in Abe Seimei's hand, and a two-foot-long short sword appeared on the table. The blade was narrow and thin, silvery white all over, with a warm luster.

"His Royal Highness Xue Ji, please lend me the Huqin."

Jiang Xue handed over the erhu with a puzzled expression.

"Master Qingming, aren't you going to chop off my huqin—"

Before he could say the word "bar", Jiang Xue was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The dagger with a thin and narrow blade "turned into a stream of light" and disappeared when it touched the bar of the huqin!

Jiang Xue stared at her huqin, her jaw almost dropped from shock.

"……This……"

Abe Seimei smiled, flicked his right hand on the harp, and the dagger was separated from the harp and reappeared in his hand. The huqin was completely intact and remained the same as before.

"That's it. The capital is full of dangers and demons are rampant. Even if there are gods and generals, there will always be inconveniences. This spirit sword is given to His Royal Highness Xueji to protect himself. This sword was forged by the gods in the sky. It can cut Ghost, please make good use of it, Your Highness Xue Ji."

After Abe Seimei finished speaking, he sent the two things to Jiang Xue with a huqin in one hand and a short sword in the other.

Jiang Xue took the huqin and the dagger dumbfounded, and as Abe Seimei demonstrated before, first put the dagger on the harp, and the dagger melted into the harp again, then touched the qin, thinking As she took the sword, the spirit sword appeared in her hand silently, but because it appeared so suddenly, her hand was cold for a while, which almost frightened her so that she couldn't hold it firmly.

Jiang Xue regained her composure before accepting the fact that her huqin had suddenly turned into a weapon, and felt dumbfounded when she touched the strings.

"...the hidden sword in the piano..."

The sword is hidden in the qin, the sword makes the sound of the qin, Xiaoxiang Yeyu, Mr. Mo Da.

Isn't this the stunt of Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Hengshan School? !

If this sword were a foot longer, it would be just right for Mr. Mo Da's "Thirteen Styles of Ever-changing and Illusory Clouds and Mists"!

"That's right, it's the sword hidden in the piano."

Abe Seimei smiled and nodded to confirm Jiang Xue's statement.

"As His Royal Highness Xue Ji, carrying a sword with you will inevitably attract attention. If you carry a huqin with you, no one will be surprised."

Jiang Xue hugged Huqin with a rather complicated look on her face, and she said after a long time: "Master Qingming never thought... Maybe I can't use a sword? If I don't know how to use a sword, then I have a divine sword in my hand, except for scratching myself , I'm afraid I can't do anything."

Abe Seimei wasn't surprised at all, and with a confident and indifferent attitude, he asked with a smile, "Really? Does Your Highness Xue Ji know how to use a sword?"

Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and said maliciously on purpose: "No!"

Abe Seimei laughed instantly, and said lightly: "Is this a lie? Not only does Her Highness Xue Ji know how to use a sword, but she is also a master of swordsmanship."

The smile on Jiang Xue's face disappeared in an instant, and even the trace of hesitation, entanglement, and pretended anger all disappeared, and she really turned into a deadpan gesture.

When she spoke again, her voice was not as sweet and joyful as before, it was as cold as Abe Taiming.

"Why did Master Qingming say such a thing?"

The change in Jiang Xue's demeanor and temperament was too abrupt, completely different from before, and it was impossible for anyone to ignore this change.

It is not so much that her change from "happy" to "unhappy", it is better to say that under this frosty posture, all the previous delicate, cute and lively vitality are like vivid camouflage, eye shadow and lip gloss Generally, it is just a kind of "makeup" to modify the appearance, so that she can better blend in with the crowd, instead of being out of tune with the crowd like Abe Taiming, who can be seen at a glance.

Even though he saw such an incredible change with his own eyes, Abe Seimei remained calm and calm, and said with a light smile, "It's not what I saw, but what Gou Chen said. Gou Chen said that Her Majesty Xue Ji occasionally reveals it inadvertently." The habit of wandering eyes is a habit of sword users, judging from this deep familiarity, Her Highness Xue Ji must have had a period of time when she never let go of her sword day and night."

"Fighting General Gou Chen..."

Jiang Xue pursed her lips, with mixed feelings in her heart, both surprised and reasonable.

Among the twelve generals, the one who is best at fighting skills is not the fierce general Teng Snake, but the fighting general Gou Chen.Because Teng Snake is born with extremely strong destructive power, he does not need so many skills in battle. In order to prevent himself from being addicted to power and losing his mind, Gou Chen also put more effort into fighting skills. She is also proficient in other weapons, and she is accustomed to using a pen holder just because her hands are as flexible, and using two soldiers can maximize her combat effectiveness.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Gou Chen is proficient in almost all weapons, and it is not shameful for Gou Chen to deduce the truth from his subconscious little movements.

"...Gou Chen..."

Jiang Xue was about to speak when she suddenly thought of something and glanced behind her, only to realize that the sliding door had been closed at some point.She had some guesses in her heart, and turned her head to look at Abe Seimei again.

"The Twelve Generals..."

Abe Seimei replied with a smile: "Not one of them is here, I told them to avoid it. In this way, Her Highness Xue Ji can rest assured? I have no malicious intentions, and I have no intention of spying on Her Highness Xue Ji's past experience..." He smiled in a low voice, and continued, "His Highness Xue Ji once said that she read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles with her master, and it is not surprising that she has learned swordsmanship for self-protection. Why don't you want people to know?"

"Not surprising... ah..."

Jiang Xue moved her lips, repeated "not surprising" several times in her heart, couldn't help laughing, and said with self-deprecation: "Yes, I have ghosts in my heart, so I am naturally afraid that others will find out. Think about it carefully, knowing how to use a sword is indeed true." It's not something you can't tell others. Master Seimei, I'm sorry...you kindly consider for me, but I don't know what's good and what's wrong, please don't be offended, just treat it as something wrong with my mind."

Abe Seimei suddenly laughed.

"What kind of statement is this? Your Highness Xue Ji, self-effacing is not such a statement!"

"It's not self-effacing, it's just..."

Jiang Xue was halfway through, but didn't want to say any more.

It’s just that for a period of time, we have been regarded as people with mental problems and locked up in a small area for activities, psychological counseling and “correction”, until some people think that we are normal before we can return to normal life-this kind of words she I don't want to tell Abe Seimei, and I don't want to tell anyone who has a good impression and genuine concern for "Jiang Xue".

Self-pity?

Want others to sympathize with you?

No, neither.

For her, it was a very painful day. This kind of pain not only came from "being watched" and "being regarded as having a mental problem", but the deeper pain came from her heart. The environment produced a sense of strangeness that she couldn't adapt to, because she was already accustomed to the life of Aincrad at that time.

How ridiculous, how ironic.

At the very beginning, many of the [-] players trapped in Aincrad felt that they had fallen into "hell" and could not accept the real and cruel world that spoke with swords, so they had psychological problems, and finally successfully escaped from the world. Thousands of players escaped from SAO's steel floating city, but many of them couldn't adapt to the real world and were judged to be mentally abnormal.

"Your Highness Xue Ji must have had a period of time when she held the sword day and night and never let go"——Yes, during the two years trapped in Aincrad, she would not put the sword out of reach even if she fell asleep. The place.

Those days were over, completely over.

She no longer needs to live that kind of life, and doesn't need to worry that she may die at any time. She let go of the sword, put down the sword, and left MM from then on, saying goodbye to her past colleagues. A mature VRMM is in operation, and she will not enter as an ordinary player.

She turned to the test work of love games, and changed from "Dione of the Ice Sword" at that time to "Jiang Xue" later.

Jiang Xue didn't want to recall the days of Aincrad, so she sealed the "sword" most closely related to SAO in her memory.By now, it was too long ago whether it was calculated in terms of real time or the time she spent in all the virtual games.

It's been a long, long time since she held a sword...

Jiang Xue rubbed the huqin with the sword hidden in her hand, recalling the cold and familiar touch at that moment just now, she suddenly found that she was no longer afraid of holding the sword, and the rest was only a touch of nostalgia.

Unknowingly, Jiang Xue's expression softened again, the corners of her lips curled up, her smile was pure and lovely.

"Master Seimei, thank you very much. I will cherish the sword you gave me."

Abe Seimei shook his head with a smile, and said, "If possible, I hope His Highness Xue Ji doesn't need to use this sword."

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows, stared at Abe Qingming for a while, and replied with a smile: "I hope so too. Dare I ask Master Qingming, can I start copying the book? Finish the copy as soon as possible, and settle the debt as soon as possible." .”

"Please." Abe Seimei suppressed a smile, pointed to a pile of blank booklets and pens and inks that had been prepared beside him, "Wait for Your Highness Xue Ji's masterpiece."

Jiang Xue was so shocked by Abe Seimei's ability to switch between seriousness and indecency that he seemed to know everything and freely, she walked over to pick up a pen and ink, and said after a long while: "Master Qingming, when you were young It must be because you were lucky that you were not killed."

Abe Seimei laughed loudly, unfolded the bat fan and shook it lightly.

"Yes, I also think that I was too lucky when I was young, and I have exhausted all my luck in my life."

"That's not the case..." Jiang Xue whispered.

Abe Seimei smiled and said nothing, picked up the book he had read before again, and continued to read from the previous position.
