The Story of Kyousuke in a certain Takasaka

The method, the victory is not far away from oneself However, have no clue.

With 2 minutes left, he tried to use words to wake up Reimu, who had already sunk half of his body into the body of the faceless youkai.Since I can communicate with monsters, at least the voice can be conveyed.However, no matter how he uttered, even if he yelled to get up close to his ears, he couldn't wake her up from the faceless monster's lullaby.

That lullaby may not be simple either.

However, even if you understand this, there is no good way.He also tried to sing a few lines, but Reimu didn't respond at all.helpless.

This was when there was only one minute left in the time, and he discovered the terrible situation he was facing.Obviously the monster's face has completely lost all the facial features, but he seems to see the incompetence mocking himself on it. Does that belong to the winner's smile and just give up?

Maybe, just give up?

Some are not reconciled

It is rare to want to do a certain thing, but the result is still not done until the end. Looking back, from the beginning of the memory, when I appeared in Qingshan College, I had no goal at that time, but I just found out that it seems that being a student union After growing up, I want to be a good student council president.But there are always naughty students jumping out to cause damage.Later, it was discovered that the feelings surrounding themselves could not be sorted out clearly, Yukino and the others collapsed emotionally, and until the final battle, they directly blew up the world.

Be it Yanze, Zhongcun, or other people, those who help me, those who oppose me, or those who are neutral, in the end, no one can save me.Even if I met two later in Seireitei, I just don't know if they are Chiyo and Waka who are the reincarnations of Ryoko and Kirikiri.

Mao wanted a child, but in the end he couldn't give it to her.

I didn't get to see Senju grow up, and I didn't get to see Yue Jian get married.It's the same with Yongyan, all he can do with his life is to seal him up, and it's the same this time.

If I think about it carefully, I always feel that I look very powerful, but in fact, I am just a useless person who has no dreams, wants to do something occasionally, but in the end is just a useless person who achieves nothing.

So even if it is just once, let me succeed at least once before disappearing.

Maybe it's impossible to change her life, but no matter what, I don't want to see this person just like this, disappearing in front of my eyes in this way.

In the last half minute, instead of waving the knife indiscriminately in a venting manner, he stood still and quietly recalled the life he had gone through.

Then he looked expressionlessly at the faceless banshee who had absorbed half of Reimu's body into her body, and then saw the dagger on the ground next to it, which seemed to be glowing with pale aura.

It was the dagger that Reimu pulled out from nowhere before. After stabbing into the faceless banshee's left shoulder, it took a lot of effort to finally pull it out, and then casually discarded the dagger beside it.

After watching it closely, he realized that the dagger was not made of familiar metal, but some kind of material that he had never seen before.Its surface is not a metallic sheen, but a softer color.

He picked up the dagger, and immediately felt a soft and warm spiritual power.If so, what vocabulary to use

To describe this feeling, there must be no other more suitable words.

That is, maternal love.

So, I understood in an instant.

When he suspected that the other party was a monster pretending to be his mother, he didn't take out Huche at the first time, but it was the reason for such a dagger.Why is it that the monster has not been directly wiped out even though it has already used such powerful spiritual power.And, why after stabbing the dagger into the left shoulder, the defense was easily opened by a word from the other party.

The attack at that time was originally without any killing intent.And the love for Reimu shown by the monster at that time was partially recognized by this dagger, so it was only stabbed in a purely physical way. After all, it was only a weapon left to her by Reimu's father, and this dagger , is the relic left by the real mother.

Mother. "Feeling the warm and genial spiritual power in it, he was finally full of confidence that he could accomplish this thing, "Please help this ineffective form

God, free your daughter from that twisted bondage.

The dagger glowing with white aura slashed across the place where the two were connected.

As if transformed into a repelling attribute in an instant, it took a long time to be absorbed by the dagger of Reimu Dasheng, and it took a long time to be absorbed by the body of the general Reimu, and was spit out of the monster's body in just an instant come out.

Then, he was picked up in his arms by him who was already starting to feel a little weak.

And the faceless banshee, who lost the child in her arms, finally revealed her true nature as a monster at this moment.

"Give me back the child!" With a sharp whistle, the monster with messy black hair rushed over

"Sorry, this is not your child." With the last of his strength, he stabbed the dagger into the faceless banshee's heart, "Although I have never seen that mother, as long as you start from this dagger In, you can feel it.

That must be a, quite a great woman. "Like a spiritual one, the dagger automatically emits a holy light of purification. The black evil spirit is accompanied by constant resentment

The ground dissipated under the light of this holy light, and finally, only Reimu lying there, and the long sword named Shiina whose owner went to nowhere remained.

The whole book, finished, sprinkle flowers!

Surprise surprise, is it unexpected?

Do you really want to hit me?

But you ca n’t hit it hahahahahahaha, well, in fact, just a little joke, it ’s really cool to write six thousand words in a breath tomorrow.Although I don't understand it very well, such content should not be regarded as stomach medicine.Personally, I just want to write a little touching feeling. I don’t know if everyone who has followed up to this point has a little feeling.

By the way, I will say this after the update, readers, will you feel like a drama?

024 Everyone, please listen to my advice, don’t read this chapter for the Platycodon party. If it is written in the front, the Platycodon party may be poisoned. I can’t say how poisonous it is, but I advise you not to read it for emotional stability.

that's all.

When he woke up, there was only one knife left beside him.To be precise, there is also a dagger.In my impression, I used it to save Reimu, and when I woke up, I was still holding it in my hand, and it seemed that it was not taken away by Miss Miko.

I looked around and found no one, so I was immediately overwhelmed by a sudden feeling of emptiness.

It is somewhat similar to the situation when it suddenly appeared in this world a few days ago, but it is also somewhat different.

If I think about it now, I actually only came here for more than a month.From the very first meeting, I originally thought I wanted to change the meaningless Miko lady, but now I can't find her.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to be being changed by her too.

There is power supplying the place between the eyebrows, which is the reason why he can continue to exist in this world.I don't know how it was done, but it seems that fragments of the jade of the four souls have been put in there now.There are four pieces in total, and Miss Miko stuffed everything she had into it.

From this discovery, he felt that Miss Miko should be angry, but he didn't understand.What is she angry about?mad at yourself?It doesn't make sense, I almost put my life on the line to save her, no matter how you look at it, it's her fault, right?It is so easy to be taken advantage of by monsters, but there is no reason to say.After the contract was broken, he lost the way to track Miss Miko

.After trying to find out the reason, no one sat up, tapped his head in distress, and then sighed.An ancient poem says, draw a sword and look around in a daze, and the current self almost has the same meaning. So, where should the current self go?

Then it took several days to return to Musashi country.The village is still so peaceful, it seems that Miss Miko's departure has not caused any impact.When I found Granny Feng, the old man was making medicine.Seeing that Mr. Shikigami came back alone, he asked something strange, and naturally got an answer from someone with only a wry smile.

"happened

●•••••

Some things..." It involved some personal issues related to privacy, and for a while, I didn't know what to say to the old man. So I thought about it for a long time, that is, I said something about Miss Miko's mother. Then, I learned about the relationship between Reimu and Maple.

Before, I was only curious about why Reimu, who treats everyone indifferently, is only closer to the witch mother-in-law. Now I know that she is Reimu's mother and the younger sister of the previous witch Kikyo.Then, after learning that Lingmeng went off to nowhere alone, Granny Feng, who still cared about her, told Mr. Shikigami a lot about the previous generation. It was a mess, and it was hard to say who was right. Wrong, it's just that the child Reimu suffers. "When talking about the past, the old man also looked sad.

The beginning of the incident can be traced back to a certain day more than 50 years ago, there was a big monster who didn't know its own body, and passed by here for some reason.Because seeing the fresh and refined relationship of the witches back then, and adhering to the ancient style of a gentle lady and a gentleman, such a marriage developed.

"Master Yukimaru is actually a very personable person. Most of the time, he is very kind. Nobles who look like humans are far better than monsters. In my opinion after I was a child, maybe there is only Master Yukimaru. It was the very beginning when I was worthy of my sister, and my sister was also very troubled about this matter. Originally, my sister was just a shrine maiden whose mission was to destroy monsters and protect humans. But the priestess whose duty was to destroy monsters was with monsters or something , It’s very strange. But after meeting Master Yukimaru, things slowly changed. Later, what my sister wanted to do changed from protecting humans from the hands of monsters to hoping to be with Master Yukimaru, Build a world where humans and demons can live in harmony." When talking about these things, the old man's face showed a sincere smile, and it must have been a very good time to return to his heart.But soon, she sighed after ending her good memories: "If it wasn't for Mr. Kong Huan, I wouldn't have become like that later."

"So Kong Huan suddenly remembered that Reimu had mentioned this name before, if I remember correctly, it should be her sister.

"Is it the fox demon that disappeared without a trace in the war after being abducted by humans 50 years ago?" The old man smiled knowingly: "It seems that Reimu has already told you."

"Hey, I've said it a little bit." I always felt that the old man's smile was a bit meaningful, so he immediately put on a serious face and said, "Actually, all I know now is that Lingmeng is another elder brother. The old man thought about it with an older sister, and said: "Master Xuemaru's family affairs should not be discussed by me, an outsider.But since Lingmeng has already told you a little bit, and the situation is now "I swear to God, what I heard today, I will not reveal it to you next time. If you break this oath..." Okay, okay, there is no need to be like this, just It's better to be an old man who loves to chatter. "Grandma Feng interrupted the man's words with a smile, and after a while, she said, "Actually, there is not a brother and a sister in Lingmeng. "

Uh

"It's two. Reimu has two older brothers and two older sisters. She is the fifth child of Master Yukimaru. In fact, the reason why Master Yukimaru's reaction to the illusory matter is so big is that you have to When he talked about Miss Lingmeng, he tapped his head again. It seemed that Miss Miko's family affairs were much more complicated than he imagined.

Reimu's eldest sister, her name is Ge Ye.and fantasy for

·The mother's birth is also a fox demon

"Ge Ye..." Then, he heard a somewhat familiar name.Just as he was thinking about who this person was, he suddenly heard Granny Feng say another sentence:

"Ge Ye once gave birth to a boy with a human being, and his later name was Abe Seimei..." After pondering for a while, he suddenly didn't know what to say.So, at that time, the Hosokawa family wanted to imitate Abe Seimei's story, but the fox demon they chose in the end was Void. It should be said, is there indeed a wonderful fate in the dark?

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly understood why as

Reimu of a shrine maiden, the teacher is only a father who is a monster, but he is proficient in various magic techniques including various enchantments and spells-I was wondering why the monster Yukimaru-sama If you understand these things, you will fully understand them now.

So, the legendary great Onmyoji is actually her nephew? "Grandma Feng laughed immediately: "Although the time interval is a long time ago, this kind of statement is somewhat disrespectful to the predecessors, but only from the perspective of seniority, it is indeed the case. In short, because Ge Ye As for the matter of adults, Master Yukimaru has some opinions on some human beings.Later, after what happened to Mr. Konggen happened again, Mr. Yukimaru went to Kyoto to question the crime.Originally, according to the intention of that adult, I am afraid that he wanted to wipe out the entire Hosokawa family, but at this time, my sister raised an objection. "He stood on the opposite side when he was angry, and he had such a sensitive identity... When he heard this, he felt that he was going to suffer. That lady witch probably wasn't a character with high EQ, and it was really fast, Feng His mother-in-law's words verified his guess.

"So the two quarreled for the first time. Maybe it wouldn't be like that, but somehow it intensified. Later, when my sister realized that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction, she wanted to make a final decision. After all the hard work, all I got was Yukimaru-sama's words, "You are still for human beings after all." Hearing this, all kinds of emotions can only be turned into a sigh. The ancients said that insight into the world is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing.Objectively speaking, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Reimu's mother's views or positions, but there might be a big problem with the way she handled things.

If he were that big monster, if someone abducted his daughter to the battlefield and made her life and death unknown, he would also want to kill other people's family.

However, in Granny Feng’s description, under the persuasion of Lingmeng’s mother, Mr. Big Monster’s original idea of ​​killing the whole family somehow turned into wanting to massacre the city, and later even developed to what can be called a demon disaster. war

"After all, you are still for human beings." Such a sentence, people who hear it will certainly be deeply hurt, but the person who said this sentence may not be able to feel better in their hearts

If it weren't for the extreme discomfort, how could he say such hurtful words?

Then, I thought of some pretty bad possibilities, for example, a possible way to make the big monster realize his problem and calm his anger: "Could it be that Reimu's mother was involved in that war?"

"No, my sister at that time hadn't given birth to Reimu yet.

. "Grandma Feng said with infinite melancholy on her old face, "I don't know the specifics of what happened in Kyoto. I know that my sister went to help defend the city. After the monsters evacuated there, my sister returned to the village. But , there was no joy on the face of saving Kyoto, but it was terribly pale and in a very bad state. I shut myself in the shrine all day long, put a knife on the table, and sat there every day without talking to anyone. Talking to people. More than a month later, my sister was unwell and collapsed in the shrine, only to find out that she already had a child in her stomach.

"At that time, I felt very scared. Although my sister came back, she acted as if she was dead. It was not until I found out that I had a child in my stomach that I finally got a little angry. After that, my sister was really A lot has changed.

"If it is said that she was a celestial girl who was out of the world and people were afraid to approach, then after that incident, she has completely fallen into the mortal world. No matter who she is, she will always have a friendly smile on her face. As long as she can help The relationship between everyone in the village will be well managed. I think the reason for such a change is mostly because I hope that after Reimu is born, there will be a good growth environment." 5 Granny Feng With a sigh on his face, he imagined the scene for a while, and he couldn't help but sighed.Throughout the ages, it has never been easy for single mothers, let alone in that sensitive age, the flesh and blood of the big monster who attacked Kyoto was still in her belly: "I'm afraid, it's not that easy." Is there something easy? There is some bitterness and helplessness in Granny Feng's smile,

"Even if I try my best to narrow the distance between myself and other people, my sister is different from them after all. What I hear are often honorific words, and what I get are respectful eyes. After all... I am not a person in the same world. "Grandma Feng stopped, and he was also silent for a while.A few minutes later, he asked: "Then, where is Master Yukimaru?" The old man said, "Master Yukimaru... just gave birth

In the dream, my sister had a long period of time and was very anxious.Although it can't be seen on the surface, I know that my sister is probably worried that Master Yukimaru will suddenly appear and take Reimu away.Maybe this is just my own illusion, but for my sister at that time, Reimu was probably the only reason for her to live.

"As for Master Yukimaru's reappearance in this village, it has been another four years. Whether it's the birth of Reimu or the death of his sister, he seems to have only known about it at that time. , He nodded. After spending a little time sorting out the plot, he understood some things, for example, why Lingmeng's elder brother, who looks so arrogant, would come to snatch the things his father gave to his sister.

That's because Huche originally, probably, was stolen by Lingmeng's mother from her father.The reason is to prevent him from causing too many murders in Kyoto.It's as if he who has Qiushui and he who doesn't have Qiushui are completely two ways of fighting. Huche is probably no less important to that big monster. This story seems to be complete at this point.but,

Not enough.These alone are not enough to constitute the reason why Reimu did not follow her father all the time, but chose to stay in this place and become a witch.It's not enough to form the complicated feelings she showed towards her mother.

In this story, some important things are missing, such as Inuyasha.For example, the dagger in his arms and, more importantly, why did Lingmeng's mother die? However, whether to ask more deeply made him feel a bit of hesitation as if Feeling his entanglement, Granny Feng said: I knew that you are a smart person.I can tell by your expression, you still want to ask something about Inuyasha.

Taking a deep breath, he said: "Yes, although I know that such a request is unreasonable, please tell me. If you don't know these things, you will always be an outsider to Reimu. Originally, I thought you could Take time to let her tell all these things slowly, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly

So he told the story of the monster that turned into Lingmeng's mother. While sighing, the old man slowly told the story of the year.

Inuyasha met Reimu's mother half a year after Reimu was born.

Back then, Reimu's mother was a shrine maiden who was responsible for guarding the Four Soul Jade.When I was with the big monsters before, no one dared to pay attention to him, but after the first battle in Kyoto, more monsters gradually became interested.And Inuyasha is one of many monsters.

"At that time, my sister no longer used the power of breaking demons to destroy monsters. My sister set up an enchantment around the village, and monsters like monsters couldn't even get close. Occasionally, some powerful monsters ran in. My sister first He will try to use the power of purification to wash away his evil thoughts, and if he does not change his mind, he will wash away his demonic power. After repeating the three, he will be suppressed underground with the power of seal, and he will be able to escape after a hundred years. After his inquiry, the old man also learned about science This knowledge.

Reimu's mother used to attack mainly in three ways.

The power of breaking demons, the power of purification, and the power of sealing.

Demon-breaking is mainly to eliminate monsters, purification is mainly to wash away monster power and evil thoughts, and the final seal is to seal the object literally.

When the first generation of witches dealt with monsters, most of them would use the power of breaking demons to easily and conveniently eliminate the target to avoid future troubles.And after she separated from Yukimaru and found out that she was pregnant with a child, she never used the power of breaking demons again, whether it was due to subjective wishes or objective reasons.

Even seals are rarely used.

"But Inuyasha is special." Granny Feng said. I think it's probably because of Inuyasha's status as a half-demon that reminded my sister of her own child, so she always showed mercy to him no matter how many times he came over, she never hurt that one. Half-demon, just drive him away, or nail him to the trunk with an arrow as a punishment.It was only later, when Lingmeng grew bigger, that things began to change. "When children are young, many things don't matter, but when they get older and their awareness of the surroundings improves, children from single-parent families will easily have a question: Why do I only have a father (mother)?

So when she was over a year old, Reimu asked her mother such a question that she couldn't answer.

"At that time, Inuyasha ran over and said to Reimu, there is nothing to be afraid of without Daddy! I have never seen my Daddy! It's not the same as growing so big!' At that time, the elder sister was very angry, but in fact the elder sister's I was very shaken in my heart." The old man said, "A few days later, my sister visited many people, and then came to ask me if it would be better for Reimu to have a father.

"At that time, I didn't know how to answer this question because when I asked my question, my sister's face was very bad. At that time, I knew that she had never forgotten Master Yukimaru. So I asked her why she didn't bring her Reimu went to her father. I think Yukimaru-sama would forgive my sister even for Reimu's sake.

As a result, my sister's face turned pale all of a sudden. At that time, I realized that maybe what happened between her and Master Yukimaru was much more complicated than I imagined.It's not that my sister doesn't want to go back with Lingmeng, but I'm afraid I can't go back. , "The sequel of the tragedy, after hearing this, he can probably guess what will happen next.

After that day, my sister handed over Reimu to me temporarily, and locked herself in the shrine for a month.After coming out of the shrine, the frail older sister strung a dagger with a rope and hung it around Reimu's neck. "He nodded, the story developed here, and the key item of the dagger came out. But a witch spent a month shutting herself in the shrine to create the dagger... among other things Just the materials and forging conditions are very curious, and judging from the story told by Granny Feng, it should belong to a kind of prop with a decisive nature, just the information shown now is not enough.

So he asked, "Is there anything special about that dagger?" After thinking for a while, he said, "When Reimu faced that monster, he should have taken out that dagger. It’s the same dagger I used when I played Reimu. Frankly speaking, it gave me a very different feeling, almost as if that dagger was originally transformed by my sister?

It's not exactly accurate, but it does feel a little like that.

.The spirituality contained in that dagger, the maternal love is too pure.

"Because of that, my sister made it with her broken little finger." The old man said with a wry smile, "I saw it when my sister hung it on Reimu's neck. The little finger of her right hand was empty. Later, my sister Tell me that it was originally a place where marriage was entangled, but she no longer has that qualification, and the only thing left for her is Lingmeng." The custom of wrapping a red thread around the little finger.In addition to the saying that men are left and women are right, it is probably a token of love, so I understand everything.

"In other words, since then, she has planned to accept Inuyasha for the sake of Reimu, right? She is determined to give up everything in the past for the sake of her daughter's growth. Perhaps for that priestess, this is already a gamble. I made the decision after all my life so far. However, Inuyasha was sealed in a tree by Reimu's mother in the end. The ending of the two is already something that can be guessed by Reimu's mother My lord, I gave up all the bets I made in the past, and the result

And is it possible that the cause of this ending is the Jade of the Four Souls? "After all, that's why the half-demon came here. Just think about it, according to his observations, it's impossible for that stupid dog to come up with such a careful plan and wait patiently for more than a year. So whether it is for Inuyasha or the jade of the four souls, Reimu will show rejection and disgust. Even after the faceless banshee incident, he stuffed all the jade fragments on himself.

You are really..." The old man said with a wry smile, 9" When talking to you, there is always a feeling that you have guessed what will happen next.If my sister had a shikigami like you back then, maybe there would be no such things that happened later. So, if I can’t save my mother, at least let me work hard on my daughter! One day my sister and Inuyasha made an appointment to meet somewhere. That night, Inuyasha, who was supposed to be outside, rushed into the shrine, snatched the jade of the four souls, and attacked the village. Then

Later, the seriously injured sister arrived and used the sealing arrow on Inuyasha, which is what you saw later. , "He nodded, the reason why Inuyasha was nailed to the tree in a sealed state for 50 years, probably because at that time, for some reason, he could no longer use the power to break the magic. The greatest punishment that can be given to a generation of witches is sealing.

And in that state, the previous Miko-sama probably lost the power to live

"My sister said that she betrayed Master Yukimaru and was betrayed by others today. This is really fair retribution. I said, Reimu no longer has a father, how can you continue to have the heart to let her even her own father?" Is my mother lost too? Then Reimu at that time also ran over at some point, threw herself into my sister's arms and said, "I want my mother to hug me."

‘That was the first time I saw my sister cry and he was speechless for a moment.You can know what kind of scene it is just by imagining it. Reason tells him that it should be a time when he is heartbroken and hard to control, but there is no disturbance in his heart. The contradiction between thinking and physiology makes his heart Give birth to a kind of empty discomfort, but don't know what to do

To outsiders, however, this appears to be nothing more than a display of mental toughness.

"At that time, my sister's injury was already very serious. I said that I hope my sister can use the power of the jade of the four souls. Even if it is for Reimu, she should stick to this life, but after putting Reimu to sleep, my sister said to me , 'In the past, adults always said that I was a stupid woman. I just thought he was looking down on human beings. Later I realized that he was telling the truth. I always kept doing wrong things, once or twice, and finally fell into this What kind of thing is the Jade of the Four Souls? I know better than anyone that adults look down on such monsters, but there are many people who yearn for it. I can’t live without it. This time, let this curse go with me. I asked my sister again, what should I do with Reimu? My sister said that after she died, the barrier here lost its maintenance, and slowly It will dissipate. Someone in the source city will definitely sense the knife in the shrine, and someone will come over and ask me to hand over the knife, and then explain the identity of Reimu. No matter what, she is the flesh and blood of Lord Yukimaru after all. , people from Yuancheng will not treat her too harshly. If no one is willing to take care of Reimu because of her mother, then I will trouble my sister

"My sister died not long after explaining everything to me. So I followed my sister's advice and lit the jade of the four souls together with her body. Sure enough, the jade was taken into the underworld by her. After collecting the ashes , I set up a tombstone for my sister at the back of the village, and Reimu would go there every year to pay homage. After more than a year, Master Yukimaru came to look for it just as my sister said. I showed you the sword, I told his sister about it again, Master Yukimaru just remained silent. I saw that he didn't seem to be too angry, so I drew Reimu out, and the master immediately recognized that it was his daughter, the concern in his eyes , without a trace of resentment, I was finally at ease.

There was nothing special about what happened afterwards, Reimu would be picked up by Yukimaru-sama every once in a while, and would come back after a while, but most of them still stayed in the shrine.Thinking about it because of her sister, the city of monsters might not welcome that child too much.

Her elder brother will always come over, saying it is to grab the knife, but I think it is more to show some power and frighten the surrounding monsters. Although I feel that the elder brother whose name is not known is really

In fact, he wanted to take Huche away, but after listening to the old man's good conjectures, he still politely did not interrupt, but kept nodding, echoing, "So that's how it is, so it's just... There are still some small questions. For example, what Reimu's mother said before leaving was that someone from Yuancheng came from, not directly about Reimu's father.

There is also the reason why I thought that I could no longer bring Reimu back.

There is also a reason why the power of breaking demons cannot be used.

Although there are still some things that I don't quite understand, but I can roughly understand many of Reimu's thoughts.Just one last question having said that. He asked sincerely, "Where do you think Lingmeng is most likely to go?"Or, do you know the location of the source city? "The old man shook his head. Just when he was worried about where to go next, he suddenly heard a loud noise from the back of the house, accompanied by the piercing laughter of an old woman who looked like a night owl. I noticed a faint ghost
