"If you want to blame...just blame me."

"You and Ayaka shouldn't end up like this."

"Shouldn't it?"

Mu Xian asked back: "Then what kind of ending do you think?"

"Isn't all of these... you are responsible for this?"

"A lot of things can get used to, but that's not important to me."

"A few things are bearable, but there will always be a day."

"do you know?"

"It's all over."

"Whether it's with Linghua... or with your Kamisato family."

Chapter 205 The Mansion Not Illuminated by Fireworks

The day her mother left, Linghua knew that she was no longer the little girl who kept hiding behind her mother.

She wanted to do her part for her brother and for the Kamisato family.

But the elder brother just squinted his eyes, knelt down and touched Linghua's face.

"The current Kamisato family is not down to the point where Linghua needs to stand up..."

The elder brother said: "Linghua just needs to be a happy little girl."

happily...

Linghua didn't know how else she could be happy?

The stubborn little girl looked at her brother, and her persistent gaze made him take a step back.

"In that case... then let's compete with swords."

"As long as Ayaka defeats me, it means that Ayaka has grown up to be a powerful lady on her own."

That was the first time Linghua made a competition agreement with someone, it was with her brother...

—But... how can I win my brother?

Linghua didn't know that in her impression, her brother had always been omnipotent.

He always stands in front of himself and blocks everything for himself...

How could Linghua win against such a brother?

Therefore, Linghua began to practice swords in her spare time on weekdays.

Every swing of the knife is very serious... Every swing of the knife is exhausted...

But every time... the elder brother will easily knock down the wooden knife in his hand.

Ayaka spent the whole winter waving.

Until the new year, until the beautiful fireworks bloom in the sky.

But it was far away, and Kamisato in the house could only watch the fireworks lighting up Inazuma Castle from afar.

Fireworks illuminate Inazuma Castle, and the people of Inazuma Castle cheer for the arrival of the New Year.

It was noisy and lively there.

It's not like here at all, the courtyard is quieter and darker than before.

It's like... It's like Ayaka is the only one left.

But it wasn’t like this before!

Shenli still remembered that when his mother hugged him, the fireworks not only lit up the entire house, but also illuminated his entire face...

But now, the new year is just Ayaka's new year...

No father, no mother... Even my elder brother didn't come back because he was busy with business.

Even though she had been looking forward to the fireworks, Ayaka who watched them was not very happy.

She feels really quiet around her...

But Chinese New Year shouldn't be like this.

It should be a family sitting happily together...

I would pretend to be afraid of the sound of fireworks and hide in my mother's arms.

Father would smile and rub his head gently.

The elder brother will also give himself some of the milk tea in his hand...

father... mother...

— On that New Year’s day, you must be thinking about Ayaka too...

In the new year, the heavy snow is dyed light pink, and the light pink cherry blossoms are slowly falling.

Spring makes the Kamisato house not as cold as winter, or Ayaka slowly gets used to the days without her mother.

If you feel lonely, Ayaka will always use all she has to learn a lot of things to learn.

Calligraphy, ikebana, tea ceremony... and knife skills.

Teachers are always pleased to say that they are honored to have students like Ayaka.

But Linghua just thinks that continuous learning can make her feel like growing slowly...

Linghua believes that she will become very strong if she becomes a veritable young lady.

No sleepless nights because of thinking of my mother, no weird sadness from being home alone...

Linghua has been studying for a long time, and practiced the sword skills day after day.

Just like what mother said, there are only two people left in the Kamisato family, Linghua and her brother.

Revitalizing the Kamisato family is a matter for both Linghua and his elder brother, and Linghua will not let his elder brother shoulder this responsibility alone.

but...

After losing the sword competition countless times, Ayaka didn't know if she could win her brother.

That day Linghua swung her sword very messily.

It was also that day that Mr. Mu Xian appeared.

Linghua still remembers how embarrassed Mu Xianjun was at the time, and the dirty clothes seemed to have not been washed for a long time.

Dirty, he said at the first sentence that his sword skills were poor, and he was about to come over and compete with himself.

But the elder brother followed closely behind, took Mu Xianjun to take a shower and changed his clothes.

When Mu Xianjun changed his clothes and appeared in front of Linghua again, Linghua realized that Mu Xianjun was just a boy not much older than herself.

The elder brother stood beside Mu Xianjun, and introduced Mu Xianjun to Linghua with a smile.

"His strength is very good. In the future, he will be your swordsmanship teacher..."

Knife teacher...

At the beginning, Mr. Muxian, who was dirty, didn't give Linghua much good impression. Linghua didn't agree with this swordsmanship teacher.

This kind of disapproval made Linghua only focus on swinging the sword by herself.

Even if Mr. Mu Xian said in his ear that these were of little use to sword skills, even if Linghua knew how many moves he could knock down the wooden sword in his hand.

Until my elder brother found Linghua one night.

He told Linghua, Muxian-kun is a very powerful person, and the Shenli family needs to win over such a person...

Ayaka who heard those words was really happy, because it meant that she could also help her brother to do things.

So the next day, Linghua's attitude towards Mu Xianjun changed...

She began to try the method Mu Xianjun taught herself, and began to practice swords with Mu Xianjun...

She gradually discovered that the method given by Mr. Mu Xian was really effective, and her sword skills really progressed rapidly.

It was also that day that Linghua received Mu Xianjun's first confession.

He said he likes himself...

At that time, Linghua didn't have much affection for Mu Xianjun.

But in order to accomplish the goal of "wooing Mu Xian-kun" entrusted to him by his elder brother, Linghua can only give some euphemistic answers.

Gradually, with the progress of sword skills, Linghua gradually didn't need any sword masters.

And Mu Xianjun also transformed into the housekeeper of the Shenli family.

On the day he became the butler, Mu Xianjun made another confession to Linghua.

But Ayaka avoided it as before.

Since then, Linghua has rarely seen the figure of Mu Xianjun who became the housekeeper.

He always goes out very early every day and always comes back very late.

Even so, he would always point out Linghua's sword skills when he spared no time.

Sometimes, she would also ask Ling Huaxi if she liked her.

Of course, Ayaka still answered as before...

Time is really fast, before you know it, Ayaka and Muhan-kun stayed in Kamiyashiki for a year.

That year was another new year, and Linghua, who was standing on the hillside outside her home, canceled all the things she had to do today.

She stood outside and watched the sun slowly set into the sea, and watched the first fireworks slowly rise into the sky.

The fireworks are still the same as last year. They are beautiful, but they can't be seen here.

Just like Linghua can only stand in the distance and quietly listen to the cheers that cannot be heard in Inazuma Castle, thinking that one day she will integrate into it.

But... the New Year is Inazuma's New Year, but the New Year does not belong to the current Shenli family.
