As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"..."

Ying looked at the old man in front of him who was fumbling around for tea sets, and couldn't help but secretly lamented the other man's passion for tea, even though he was already like this.

"Sigh... I should have it close at hand, but it seems I can't find it. This really... uh haha... makes you laugh. I may not be able to make tea."

Gu Shan finally gave up searching, turned around and touched his head awkwardly towards her. His appearance was not like that of an old man at all, but rather like an old naughty child.

"Would you like... to make tea?"

Seeing this, she asked in a slightly warm voice, her brows and eyes filled with tenderness like water.

"Sigh... It's an occupational disease. I want to make tea for you when I see you."

Gushan nodded and smiled helplessly.

"Would you like a drink?"

Shadow thought for a moment and asked again.

"Huh? Old man?"

The other party was obviously taken aback.

"Well...if you want to drink, I'll get you a tea set, and then we'll drink together, just like...we used to."

Ying said to him softly, considering her tone.

"Ah? Sir General, do you want to go get it for me personally?!"

The other party was obviously flattered after hearing this.

"Yes...you rest here for a while, I'll be back soon."

Shadow answered.

"It's impossible! I'm really scared, not to mention the fighting situation outside..."

The other party obviously didn't want her to do this...

"The environment here... is complicated, and it's not the same as the tea house in your memory..."

After looking at the surrounding environment, he thought of a reasonable reason, and then took the initiative to squat down and raise his hand to hold the other party's old palm.

"So leave it to me...and let me do something for you, okay?"

Her eyes were filled with the warmth of the person in front of her, and she asked in a soft voice.

"...Well, huh...well...this day actually comes, so I have the guts to ask the General to prepare tea sets for me. Should I call it the last regret or the last luck?"

After Gushan felt the temperature and touch of her palm, he was obviously very moved. His slightly trembling palm also stabilized, and finally compromised.

"Huh...no, I'm not a saint. I don't need such praise for doing something for you, old man. I'll come back as soon as I go, hold on."

After saying that, she let go of the other person's hand and straightened up again, looking around in the direction.

Tea set…

Her mind turned around quickly, and then her eyes lit up as she thought of a place where there must be what she wanted.

Having made this decision, she headed to Kamisato Yashiki in the southeast without any delay. After all, when it came to tea, Shabo must be good at it. As a professional counterpart, it was not a big deal to get a tea set.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon——

Shadow walked up the steps of the Guardian Forest on time and walked to the gate of the large mansion in front of him - Kamisato Yashiki.

To be honest, she hasn't been here for a long time. For the general, she may come here often. At this time, she still feels a little strange. Her layout of Kamisato Yashiki is still the same as it was decades ago or even several years ago. A hundred years ago was quite a long time ago.

With these thoughts in his mind, Kage stepped into the courtyard... During this period, Toma, a servant of the Kamisato family, happened to pass by the vestibule. He saw a familiar purple color out of the corner of his eye and was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately stopped and showed a different expression. turned around.

He was indeed right!It is indeed the General!

Now it was time to work. Seeing this, he trotted towards the other party without saying a word, and skillfully raised a sunny smile to welcome guests.

"Sir General! Are you here to play chess with the lady again today?"

He said hello smoothly and asked with a smile.

"...That's not the case. I came here today to borrow some of the tea sets from the club."

When Ying heard this, she didn't care about the other party's words. She also knew the meaning. What the other party was talking about should be about the general. Besides, she wasn't here to play chess today. After a simple response, she stated the purpose straightforwardly. .

"Oh, oh! I see... I want to borrow the tea set. I understand, uh-huh."

After hearing Ying's answer, Toma's mouth trembled in embarrassment, and then he touched the back of his head and laughed. Why is the general today different from the past?

He was a little confused. He couldn't tell what was different, but it just felt different. Maybe it was the temperament?Aura?Or the voice?accent?

Chapter of the People of the World ~ Xuyu Baimeng: Chapter 21 Do these hands make you feel uncomfortable?

The general is usually very friendly to them, and today's general sounds quite friendly. So what is this feeling of discord?

But after thinking about it, it was quite normal, so I forgot about it.

"Not bad, can you get it for me?"

Ying asked simply without paying attention to the inner thoughts of the boy opposite him.

"Ah, okay! I will prepare it now. I also ask the general to take a rest in the courtyard. The tea set will be sent to you as soon as I prepare it!"

After Toma finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away from her sight. After watching the other party's back walking into the Shenli Mansion,

"……call."

She breathed.

During this period, she did not find a place to rest as Thomas said. Instead, she crossed her chest and walked casually on the stone road in front of her. Occasionally she stopped and paused for a moment. Due to the posture of holding her arms, she let the longer one on one arm The furisode hangs down like a curtain, reflecting the patterns of gentian flowers and samba patterns.

"...General?"

She was silent for a while, and then softly called her daughter who was still resting in the pure land.

【…】

"General? Are you okay? Are you sleeping?"

There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

[Huh...No, Huh...It's okay...I just...slept for a while. 】

The other person's voice didn't have the breath of the past at all, but had an extremely weak texture, which made her feel as fragile as a bubble that bursts at the touch of a touch. There was also a hint of weak breathing when speaking.

"...still feeling uncomfortable?"

She frowned and asked distressedly.

[...Well, phew...it still hurts, but...it doesn't matter...]

The woman who was sitting on her knees in her pure land looked pale and weak at the moment. She was sweating coldly on her forehead. Her originally cherry-red lips had also turned a weak white at this moment. The corners of her eyes were filled with a look of pitiful exhaustion. It is no longer as bright as before but dim.

Sitting on the ground, her fingers gently grasped the skirt of her chest. Her chest was rising and falling up and down very frequently, but even so... when facing Ying's concern, she still showed a trace of emotion that made everyone feel distressed when she saw it. Smiling weakly and speaking in a soft voice,

[It's okay... Shadow... I'll get better if I talk to you... 】

"Okay, let me tell you..."

Shadow's nose was sore and he cooperated with the other party.

【Where are you... now? 】

The general did not pay attention to things outside the Pure Land at this time. It should be said that he had no energy to pay attention to it. His mind was in chaos, as if he would faint in the next second.

"I'm at Shenli Mansion, getting tea sets for Gu Shan, by the way..."

Ying's eyes lit up when he thought of something,

【…? 】

"Would you like to meet Ayaka? You will feel better after meeting the child, right?"

she asked hastily.

【…No need to do this anymore. 】

When the general heard this, he also understood her mother's intention, so he smiled weakly and shook his head.

"General..."

[...After she finds out...ahem...she will definitely be anxious and sad for me. She is also quite tired, so...it's better to leave it at that. 】

"...Well, since you don't want to...then let it go."

Ying didn't refute anymore. At this time, she was no longer in the mood to refute. To be honest, as long as her daughter could feel better, she was willing to do anything as a mother, but... there was nothing so good in the world.

【film…】

"Huh? What's wrong?"

She replied softly, very gently.

【That old man...】

The other party mentioned the old man just now...

"Ancient Mountain?"

she answered

【Ok…】

The general in the pure land nodded.

"What's up with him?"

she asked.

[He...the person who made the tea at the beginning...is true, right? 】

There was a hint of doubt in the weak voice.

"Yes, it's my sister."

There was a hint of complexity and memory in her eyes.

[Huh... As expected, after all, you couldn't have said such...unlike words at that time. 】

The other party smiled softly, as if he was teasing, but also as if he was doting.

"Yeah... I rarely have the opportunity to drink tea. I almost spend my free time practicing martial arts. How can I have such a profound mind?"
