[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

The author has something to say: this chapter also hints at something else

It seems a little complicated, don't worry about it!

So OCC might have!

See my compatriots... don't hit me [cover your head]

"Are you all right?"

The girl nodded, looking up at the blue sky, she took a deep breath and then turned her head. As expected, she saw a girl with short hair and ears nodding.The smell of disinfectant in the hospital made her frown uncomfortably. She hated this place since she was a child, and always has.

"Dongying has always been worried about you."

It is because I know that I want to wake up earlier.

Seeing the meaning revealed in the girl's eyes, the woman smiled unkindly.The boy standing on the other side of her nodded and the girl picked her up and placed her on the only sofa in the single room, covered her with a warm blanket, looked at her stretched brows and smiled dotingly .

"That hairstyle...is my masterpiece..."

"Who knows?"

The vague answer made the girl laugh, which meant that she turned a blind eye and let her pass.

"Don't have too much contact with those gods, Ayako."

"..."

"they are--"

The girl broke the vase on the bedside table, she lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen, but the fist tightly clenched the quilt told them not to continue talking.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't have been taken away by the government from the very beginning!"

"Mika!"

"...there is the most important thing..."

What she cared about from the very beginning was not those fusangshen, all she cared about was the complete artificial human.Relying on Dongying's blood and flesh and blood, the child that was completely copied, the one with the same smile is the treasure.

"If... Dongying hadn't been captured from the beginning, then—"

These things would not have happened.

It's all wrong from start to finish...

you!

With the fluctuation of her huge spiritual power, the surrounding things floated up. They were objects driven by the young gods affected by her spiritual power.The women and teenagers showed embarrassment. It was indeed their fault that caused the tragedy, and they tried not to pay attention because they didn't want to recall it.

"Ayako?"

Hearing the voice from behind, the fluctuation disappeared in an instant, and things returned to their original appearance.She turned her head to look at the girl rubbing her eyes, and smiled helplessly.

"Welcome back."

"Well, I'm back. Dongying."

The sun just shone on her, and she smiled helplessly looking at the smile that bloomed under the sun.She just wanted that child to smile like Dongying, so she volunteered to be that caregiver on the day of the family meeting, a child exactly like Dongying.

——“Why are you doing this?”

With a blank face, she looked incomprehensibly at her who was stabbed by the sword, and the cloth covering her was blown by the wind, revealing her sadness with a face very similar to Dongying, but without any expression.That child has been begging to be loved by someone, that's why he made such a mess, and the government told the family about these things.

——"Same as those, just go straight."

She did it on purpose, she knew it all along.

——"It's okay, it's okay."

Stroking her long hair, smiling, she vaguely saw an incredible thing.

That is impossible to appear here, the red firefly.

>>>

"...Didn't you take a break again?"

Obviously there is no problem.

It's just a fever from time to time.

Obviously nothing, but you are too worried.

She told him so many times, but the teenager just yawned with a smile, then shook his head at her with a smile and insisted on staying here until she fully recovered.Tian couldn't see it, so Chang Hao, who was determined and wouldn't let them go, made a plan helplessly.But the most speechless thing is that Chang Hao did not expect that he really found the monster and solved it just like that.

"So, for him, Zhang Zi is the number one."

Mo Jun scratched his neck, and said to Tianyi and Xue Ling who were still thinking of a solution.Since this incident, the young man has begun to worry about gains and losses, so he insists on guarding himself to rest assured.But that is not a long-term solution. After all, Changhao still has to go to Yinyang Liao to work in the morning, go on patrol at night, and then watch Zhangzi after returning. He doesn't have much rest time at all.

At first, Zhang Zi wondered why Changhao was beside her when she opened her eyes. She wondered if she hadn't had a good rest, but Changhao fooled her.It was only later that Tianyi, who couldn't stand it anymore, said it all, and only then did the previous scene happen.

That being the case, Zhang Zi didn't lie down anymore, and looked at Chang Hao who came back, frowning and frowning his little face very unhappily.Looking at him who came back from Yinyangliao and put on the red hunting clothes, she was sitting on the couch wearing the priestess clothes she got from Xue Ling, even though she was still panting slightly with a blushing face.

"It's absolutely impossible not to rest well, so..."

After lowering her head and hesitating for a moment, she raised her head again and spoke firmly.

"Since you're so worried, then I'll stay by Changho's side, so it won't be a problem."

"No! In this case, Zhang Zi, your body will definitely not be able to support it!"

"Miss, no!"

"No, you should take good care of your body!"

Zhang Zi's proposal was refuted by the three of them one by one, and Zhang Zi was also irritated. She stood up puffed up and slapped Chang Hao's cheeks with both hands.Then, using his own modest strength, he slammed his forehead against Chang Hao's forehead. After a loud noise, both the general and Chang Hao were stunned.

It was really the first time they saw such a chapter.But Xue Ling thought of something, twitched the corner of his mouth and looked away.

"Then Changhao, can your body support you! If you don't rest all night, even I will be angry! How can I rest in peace if you continue like this! How can I recuperate well! So! So...!"

Hearing Zhang Zi's angry words, it was obvious that he was the one being reprimanded, but Chang Hao's eyes gradually became hot, and he didn't notice the tears streaming down his cheeks.When Zhang Zi saw Chang Hao crying, he swallowed his next words and didn't say them, thinking that he was scolding too much and was very flustered and didn't know what to do.

"So...don't do this again, I'll be fine, trust me."

Caressing Chang Hao's cheek just patted by her, Zhang Zi looked directly at the amber pupils.Chang Hao nodded, in order not to let her see his expression, he reached out and hugged her tightly.

"I believe you."

It is because I haven't seen such a chapter for a long time that I feel that I cherish every day.

Fortunately, you haven't changed.

Still so energetic, still warming him in his own way, still...rebuking him severely for not paying attention.There's a lot more, he doesn't know how to say it, but it's really nice.

You are still with me!

"I...maybe going to Izumo."

Seeing this, the generals also knew that they should not stay any longer, so they should go, and those who should be beside him also disappeared.

Hearing these words, Zhang Zi stretched out his hand and grasped his hunting clothes, a little at a loss.

"Are you going for a long time?"

"Maybe, but will be back soon."

"me……"

I really want to follow, but I can't say it.

Just like that voice that has been suppressed in the bottom of my heart, I can't say anything. The current her past must be a burden so I can't follow it.

Zhang Zi's face was contorted, as if he was about to cry.

"I'll wait for you to come back, so come back safely."

Hearing what Zhang Zi said, the young man stepped up his strength even more, as if he had integrated Zhang Zi into his body.The amber eyes flickered non-stop, and after he took a deep breath, he brushed her beautiful long black hair.

"Well, then I'm leaving."

It is because you have always said these words to yourself so gently that he always said in his heart that he must come back safely.Even if you were not in a place he was familiar with at that time, he still vaguely heard your voice calling for him.

"After I come back, I want...to discuss something with Grandpa with you."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Firefly season is almost over.

After all, the boy still couldn't bring her here this year. The golden sky fox sitting by the lake looked up at the last firefly that floated into the sky.

——"Then, I'll look forward to it, his choice."

Facing the sudden wind of the god general, she lowered her head and drank the sake in her bowl.

Thinking of her friend wondering when she was so good at drinking, she cried.

Even though you're gone, I still can't forget you.

Really, I still can't forgive you.

>>>

Red river.

Red fireflies.

These are all scenes in dreams.

Ayako listened to what Zhang Zi said, and her cloth-wrapped arms helplessly stroked Zhang Zi's moist bangs on his forehead.It will take some time for her to recover her spiritual power. During this period, she cannot show her original shape. Once she shows her original shape, she will turn into a sky fox, and it will take a hundred years before she can change back to her human form.

"And then... Gou Yuli, there is a girl here. At that time, the female officer who was next to Prince Shuko."

She was talking about Fengyin, the girl who had a relationship with her once, because she wanted to hurt the child so she stopped her.

"As for her...it seems that she was killed by Yao Yi, just like that time."

The crystal teardrops that slipped from the corners of Zhangzi's eyes turned into pearls the moment they fell to the ground, which made Ayako pick up these teardrops in a little surprise.

"that time?"

"Hmm... nothing."

Since that time, even now, she can think back.In the place within her reach, she stretched out her hand but didn't respond, she was sad but unable to vent her, how much she wanted to touch that girl, as if she was the culprit of all these.

"Aren't you going back to take care of your wounds?"

"No, I was a little worried, so I came here."

Hearing what Ayako said, thinking that Changhao was almost the same, she muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, then puffed out her mouth and turned her head.

"Looks like he used to be like that too."

"That's why all of you are trying to annoy me."

"how is this possible."

Ayako laughed out loud and poked her puffy cheek.Then I thought that the woman was telling her that she was about to go out, if she had the will, she would be willing to tell her the spell that Yue Ji had used.After she lowered her head and thought for a while, she sighed and proposed to her.

"Zhang Zi, if...you had the ability to protect yourself, what would you do?"

"I will learn!"

"I knew you would say that."

As if she knew she would say that, Ayako took out a clay mold from the sleeve of the shrine maiden uniform, which looked like Akiko.After she muttered a few incantations, Zhang Zi and Xue Ling were surprised that a girl who was almost exactly the same as her was sitting beside the couch, smiling.

"As long as you provide spiritual power, you will not be discovered, and you can even hide it from the twelve generals."

After hearing this, Xue Ling knew that Ayako might recall what she had learned in her previous life, although it was not much.Looking at Ayako's mouth shape, Zhang Zi unconsciously recited the spell.

"Visible things, invisible things, with my source, manifest what I want."

Then, without an intermediary, a boy who had been with Izumo for a while appeared, he blinked his amber eyes and smiled at her.After Ayako twitched the corner of her mouth, she raised her finger and flicked Zhangzi's forehead.

"You."

Sticking out her pink tongue, Zhang Zi looked at Ayako and begged to tell her how to do it.

"Follow me."

"Um."

——"Mie Mimie, invisible thing."

In memory, she once told a child.

This spell...

Zhang Zi looked at Chang Hao who had disappeared, and sat up while clutching his forehead.

——"If... there is a future, can you be my family?"

— "Well, as long as that's what you want."

The white-haired girl with Ji's hair style showed that warm smile, one of the few smiles on her lovely face.Then there seemed to be something around the girl, there were several men, all of them had very good-looking faces.She hugged her and rubbed her tender cheeks, showing a very doting smile.

——"So, live on."

The girl in the coat looked at Abe House who was going away, she reached out and hugged the waist of the girl in front of her, lowering her eyes.Who is that child? Why do I only know her hair color and figure, but can't see her face? Did I forget it on purpose?

He stretched out his hand to hold the red Gouyu tightly in his arms, and the 'Liuhua' in his side hair exuded a faint red light, as if signaling something.

Whether it's for her or for her important people.

She can't go on like this, she has to become stronger.

Become able to protect those around you.

and so……

I'm sorry, Chang-ho.

I want to protect you too.
