NABC Chapter 157 Gift
Chapter 157 Gift
"The drug seller~Mr.~" Bai He hummed an out-of-key song, and jumped briskly among the roofs, using the bright lights below to search for the drug seller.
That attire is very eye-catching, and there is a big cage on his back. As long as he is not indoors, it is still easy to find, and he will definitely be talked about on the way he walks.
As for what to do...
When the god judge talked with the drug seller, he even sent them away on purpose. He was really curious about what they said.
If he asked Jing Mo afterwards, he would probably know the answer, but he still wanted to find out from the other party, preferably now.
The little snow rabbit with wings in the hood poked its head out, but was pushed back by Tsurumaru who noticed it.
As the eldest son of a big family - he decided on his own, he would be forgiven for being a bit rebellious sometimes, it's too boring not to be able to participate in such a special event after all.
He quickly found his target in a courtyard. The drug seller was standing by the water, looking at the room where the play was being performed in front of him.
"Yo!"
Tsurumaru jumped down from the eaves and greeted the drug seller with a calm expression: "Meet you again, strange drug seller."
"It's you." Yao Lang looked at him sideways, without saying anything.
"You're standing here..." Bai He looked at the crowd drinking and having fun in the house along his line of sight, "Oh... I see, but what is that?"
The room was very small, and there were only three men and three women sitting in it, a geisha, a luthier, and a guest, and the remaining man was sitting at the door, apparently dressed as a follower.
On the left and right of the guests sat a wandering girl with a sweet smile. The man hugged the left and the right, with a greasy expression on his face and irregular hand movements. The geisha and luthier below were just performing routinely, turning a blind eye to everything in front of them.
The strange thing Tsurumaru saw was occupying the top of the man's head.
Although it looked like a mass of hair, the slowly wriggling posture was definitely not normal.
"That's water chestnut," Yaolang said amidst the crackling sound of the demon-dispelling sword, "can't you see clearly?"
"My talent in this area is not strong enough," Bai He shrugged, "Sometimes I can see it, sometimes I can't."
He has also analyzed this area. If you follow the judge, you will probably be able to see everything. For example, if the place where you went to watch the fireworks last time is under the jurisdiction of current affairs, then only Qingjiang and the others can see. Only those who have passed the Lingdao anecdote can see it.
... As for the time Hasebe saw the snake, he was probably lured there on purpose.
Now that I can see it, it means that the world is further out of the timeline of current affairs, which is a good way to judge.
In other words, with a special master, you will learn a lot of strange knowledge without knowing it, and it seems to be very useful at certain special times.
"Can I just leave it alone?" Bai He looked at the man with the black and unidentified object on his head that was gradually getting bigger, "Your demon-dispelling sword is ringing."
"Why did you and your master draw their swords to fight?" Yao Lang asked softly without answering his question.
"That's a good question." Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry, Bai He stopped caring about the man and stretched his body with his hands behind his head. "At the beginning, it was to protect the peace of mankind. Later, something happened. It becomes a matter of drawing a sword to protect one's own existence..."
"Up to now, I can deeply feel that I am fighting to protect my destiny - my own, others'... Destiny is like a big ball of wool, I don't know who it is connected to, and I have never seen someone I don’t know when the changes will affect me, so I can only do my best to protect the history and the present.”
"..."
"Were you human before?" Bai He didn't care about the other party's silence, he looked at the other's pointy ears and asked, "Human beings are very good, no matter who I met before, I have left a very important impression on me." Things, especially if I think about it now, many things are really like fate.”
"The people I see are selfish creatures," the pharmacist paused for a moment before he said slowly, "To protect themselves, they tell big lies, do stupid things, and think they can hide the truth. However, in this world There is still something that can record the truth."
"My mission is to find out the truth, but... an ugly thing has happened, and it cannot be undone."
The voice of the other party was very soft, but the meaning was very heavy. Tsurumaru was not used to this kind of conversation, and felt that his mood was not as high as when he was on the roof.
"Although I don't know what you saw, but don't be disappointed with everyone," Bai He tried to maintain a brisk tone, "Our existence—is it okay to include you?"
After getting a slight nod from the other party, Tsurumaru continued: "We exist for human beings, they are the kind of imperfect people who like to deceive, are weak, are controlled by desires, and take it for granted that they can't do it themselves. Putting it on others, it keeps creating conspiracy, lies, tragedy and war."
"But I have also seen the cute side of human beings," Tsurumaru said with some nostalgia, "Despite the muddy feet, they still yearn for a pure and white world and work hard for the future. I like them very much, so I am willing to bear the burden. live up to their expectations."
"Besides, there is one more reason now. I have something I want to protect, so I am more motivated to fight."
"Protect your master?"
"He's very strong, I guess he doesn't need it," Bai He pulled out a big smile, "What I want to protect is the history of 'encountering him', out of so many timelines, I only want this one."
"Timeline...?" The drug seller turned to look at him.
"Oh, don't worry about it, I said too much," Tsurumaru blinked, "In short, I understand that there may be other me who get the current life, although they are all Tsurumaru Kuninaga, but I don't want to Letting go, is this behavior called selfishness?"
If I was broken like that at the time, then there would be other Tsurumaru Kuninaga coming to this Honmaru, I feel so sorry to think of such a possibility.
"In short, because I have learned this kind of mood, I feel that I am getting closer and closer to happiness," Bai He admitted happily, "Is this a human feeling? It appeared because I wanted to protect my own happiness." this phrase."
"It's not selfish," the drug seller said after waiting for a while, "it should be...'cherish'."
Tsurumaru couldn't see his true expression hidden under the complicated lines, but the other party's tone seemed to be a little more relaxed than before.
"Before, you said that the 'reason' is with your master." The black hair-like shadow in the room was getting bigger and bigger, and the demon-dispelling sword had arrived in the hands of the medicine seller at some point, "Is that so?"
"I can't say that completely," Tsurumaru recalled a little before remembering that it was what Mikazuki said, "Of course we have to follow his will to fight, but the 'heart' is actually a very complicated thing, and it cannot be the only one idea."
"The monster you are chasing should have only one strong emotion, right? There is only one purpose in thinking, thinking and doing, so it is neither a monster nor a person." Tsurumaru patted the knife on his waist, "And you You can see it all happen.”
"Monsters are things that cannot exist in this world. As long as there are monsters in the world, I will kill them," Yaolang watched as the black hair ball in the house grew bigger and bigger. The man lay on the ground overwhelmed, and the girl He and the geisha screamed and fled in all directions, "But what's the point of 'truth' and 'reason' if only I know it?"
"As long as there is one person who can understand, I have no regrets," Bai He said, watching his back as he walked into the house, "Don't you think we are very similar to monsters? That's what I think, so these monsters are similar, right? .”
The medicine seller's footsteps seemed to pause for a moment, but he didn't seem to, he just walked towards the room occupied by the monster without looking back.
"...It was originally intended to be a cliché, why did it become this way?" Tsurumaru sighed, "However, I am really suitable to be a mentor for confused people—"
"Waterfall?" The interrogator looked at the white crane that came down from the roof in a cold air, "That is a monster transformed from a woman who was violently beaten to death by her husband. How did you meet this?"
"So that's how it is," Tsurumaru, who still didn't forget to report obediently in front of his parents after Yeyou came back, but didn't intend to tell the truth, said to him, "Go out and wander around."
The judge shook his head helplessly and smiled, and stopped asking. There are not many people here who can tell him the name of the monster, and he can guess it even if he doesn't want to.
Since he didn't do something dangerous on purpose, let's forget it this time.
"Are you eating extra?" Tsurumaru looked at the people in the room with a hair behind him, and focused his eyes on the appetizers on the table. Seeing that the neatly arranged plates were probably Shikigami's handiwork, "I always feel that there is something missing. Who is... Sanriyue?"
"Well," Xiaohuwan said solemnly, as if he couldn't think about it, "someone came to look for him just now, and he went out."
"Who is looking for him?" Bai He asked incredulously, "This is the Edo period, why would someone look for him?"
"It's Fujihime from Fujiya..." Hasebe was also a little incredulous, "That girl said she came here secretly to deliver something to Fujihime."
"Eh?"
"Please accept it," the girl blushed, she didn't dare to look directly at the other party, she just raised her hands above her head, "Sister... Sister Fujihime hopes that you can use this incense pill when you attend the banquet tomorrow."
"A gift for me?" San Riyue was a little surprised, but didn't reach out to take it, "Is there a reason?"
"My sister didn't say anything." The girl was a little anxious, and raised the box higher. "There are only incense pills in it, and there is nothing... nothing that will embarrass you. Please accept it."
When the girl slipped into the corridor just now, they all thought it was the little girl who was peeking at the night again, and they planned to laugh it off, but they didn't expect the child to whisper to him after a few laps, "that adult in dark blue clothes", and was rejected by the lord. When staring at it, Mingming looked terrified and was about to cry, but he stayed there firmly and did not leave.
When Sanriyue came out, the girl happily forgot to hold back her voice, and said that Fujihime had asked her to come—presumably everyone in the room heard it.
The Five Swords of the World looked at the box in front of them by the moonlight. There was no mark on the wooden box. It was just an ordinary incense box that could be seen everywhere. The earth seal looks like it got in from somewhere.
"Then—why did you give me such a gift?" San Riyue gently took off the bamboo leaf, "I seldom use incense, I dare not accept such kindness, please take it back."
The girl's shy expression because of the gentle strength of the sleeves approaching became unbelievable after hearing this, she quickly raised her head and emphasized: "I ran out with great difficulty, my sister broke the rules like this, the boss will know Taught her, my sister definitely has no bad intentions... I just hope you can use this at tomorrow's banquet."
"I'm just an accompanying retainer," San Riyue smiled softly, but spoke mercilessly, "I can't help her much, if you ask, why don't you give this incense pill directly to my lord Woolen cloth?"
"It's different!" The girl was a little angry, but she still lowered her voice. She looked at Fujiji and hesitated for a long time before separating out the incense pills, and then held the box for half an hour in a daze. If the relationship has been established, No one cares about delivering things to guests, but the rules are not over yet, if the boss finds out, they may be starved for several days.
It's hard to feel hungry, even if you drink water desperately, it's useless.
She didn't know why her sister decided to send the incense tonight after hearing that she would go to tomorrow's banquet, but she still said she was willing to help, because the expression on her sister's face made people feel sad, absolutely It's not the kind of meaning that adults say!
Sanriyue looked down at her for a while, then took the box with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid of being punished by my lord for giving me something like this?" Tai Dao's eyes were cold, and he asked the girl softly, "What a reckless child, to do such a thing in front of the superior."
"I... I didn't think about it that much," the girl murmured, "My sister said that I must deliver it today. She treats me very well, and I don't want to disappoint my sister."
—Does it have to be tonight?I'll be sure to find a chance at the banquet tomorrow!
——If it doesn’t work, forget it, there’s no point in sending it tomorrow.
Fujihime smiled and touched her head, saying that if you can't find it, come back quickly, it's okay.
"That's it, thank you for your hard work," San Riyue laughed after thinking for a while, and wiped off the dirt on the girl's face with her cuff, "Can you go back by yourself?"
"Yes, thank you!" The girl blushed again, turned around and ran, and disappeared after turning a few turns in the bamboo forest.
"Am I the master of this kind of image in your heart? Will you be jealous that your retainers are more favored by beauties, and will you take offense at such a child who doesn't know anything?"
Jing Mo walked over with a smile, followed by the Fusangshen watching the excitement.
"Hahaha, I'm playing the role of retainer very professionally," Sankayue said unhurriedly, "Tsurumaru is back too. I'm really flattered that everyone cares about me so much."
"I'm worried that you have too much involvement with history, and you were beaten by prosecutors," Tsurumaru said without changing his expression, as if the person who came to eavesdrop just now had nothing to do with him, "Although it's a cliché, But I still have to say—as expected of Five Swords in the World, it’s really popular.”
"How can it be as popular as Tsurumaru?" San Riyue laughed, "My lord, let's go back to the room and talk about it."
The author has something to say: This is Tsurumaru who is caught up in the cliché instead of the cliché _(:з」∠)_
