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

Ying Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

[...I'm sorry, should I...shouldn't have said that to you? 】

After feeling her self-deprecation, the general asked cautiously with some guilt.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...it's all facts. Most of the time, Gushan is making tea for Zhen. He may be aware of the 'two generals' thing, but he always acts like he has no idea at all. Affection."

She shrugged.

【he knows? 】

"Maybe... When people get older, they will be more sensitive to the outside world. Moreover, Gushan is not an ordinary person. He sees things very clearly. This is why he can chat with Zhen."

When she said this, the corners of her mouth subconsciously curved.

[What Gu Shan was talking about at that time was also the concept of truth in the world. 】

"Yes... in her eyes, the most precious thing in the world is 'dream' - that is, life's yearning for a better future, hu..."

【So that knife——】

"One dream, yes...it is a real saber, and naturally it carries a dream."

Shadow nodded and looked up at the sky in the distance,

"I saw with my own eyes those stars lit by dreams in the Pure Land of One Heart, and from that moment on I knew...she was right, and I was going astray."

It's true, her sister is further away than she originally thought. In the eyes of the other party... the state called 'dream' is more fantasy and abstract than 'wishes'.

And what 'wishes' point to is mostly some kind of actual material and conclusion, which are always exhausted and will always be replaced by new 'wishes'.

"The driving force that drives human beings to constantly generate new 'desires', this driving force originates from instinct, in other words..."

[It is also a kind of... eternity. 】

"Yes...this is the angle that Zhen is concerned about."

She really never cared about the outcome. At that time, she couldn't understand the other person's thoughts at all. Why was it flowing but also eternal at the same time?

Now she finally understands that she was really superficial when she thought about it.

But...she was relieved that she had finally reconciled with her sister, even if the other party could no longer see it.

……

.........

On the other side, in the backyard of Shenli Mansion——

The ice-colored eyes stared coldly at the straight bamboo tube in front of her. A chilling light gradually appeared in her pupils, and the girl's jade lips opened slightly.

(Breathe~!)

Breathe in a blast of cold air from outside.

Huhu~

A gust of breeze blew by, causing the back of her short kimono to flutter slightly, and at the same time, the ice-colored ponytail on the back of her head trembled softly.

His eyes furrowed in concentration.

Click×N

At that moment, the surrounding temperature dropped to freezing point, and silver-white ice crystals gradually appeared under the herringbone heels carrying the white silk slender feet. The ice crystals spread like a virus on the gravel road, constantly expanding the area.

"...!"

He lowered his body and got ready to draw his sword, Iai.

"Shenliliu·Jianshuiyue..."

A beautiful voice as sharp as ice crystal said these words coldly and then——

Om~!

In an instant, he drew his sword and slashed out...

Whoa~!

A huge ice-colored knife mark bloomed in front of him!

He cut off the thick bamboo tube in front of him as easily as cutting paper. The moment the bamboo tube broke, another bamboo tube behind him was revealed!

Whoa!

But it's not over yet. After the knife mark flashed by, it gathered into a large-scale ice blade vortex in the next second. This hurricane-like ice crystal vortex quickly rushed in a straight line, cutting off a row in front of it. The row of bamboo tubes, the moment when she finally put the 'Sakura Fukiyuki' into the scabbard——

Click!

The sound of metal hitting the sword sounded, and the vortex dissipated. What caught your eyes were rows of bamboo tubes that had been decapitated accurately. It was so precise that in this large-scale slash, the ground and surrounding areas were not affected at all. damage.

"call……"

Ayaka exhaled, tied the sword to her waist, picked up the towel on the stool next to her and wiped the sweat from her forehead, neck, and even the chest skin under the kimono skirt.

While wiping the sweat, she casually covered her head with a towel, raised her white and slender hands, and pinched them back and forth with her slender but not overly exposed fingers, feeling the friction of the thin calluses between her fingertips. The touch is felt on almost every fingertip, especially at the tiger's mouth, which is a bit hard.

She didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, hand calluses are a necessary process that those who practice martial arts and swordsmanship must go through. It was unavoidable, but her only worry was that when holding the General's hands with her, he would make him feel uncomfortable, would he feel uncomfortable?

Chapter of the People of the World ~ A Hundred Dreams in a Moment: Chapter 22 Thomas, clean up the backyard

tata~

"...?"

At this time, she heard a small sound of running in the corridor. She raised her eyes suspiciously and found that it was her servant, Thomas. He was in a hurry, obviously something was wrong.

"...Thoma?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly and thought about it before calling out to the other person. She took off the towel covering her head and folded it up.

"Eh? Ah...Miss!"

Thomas paused and quickly turned back to look at her standing in the back yard.

"Why so urgent?"

She took steps to walk to the other party.

"Uh... that... nothing's wrong! Haha."

The other party smiled awkwardly.

"..."

She looked at each other silently, expressionless.

"Uh... miss?"

To be honest, when I look at her young lady's ice-colored eyes, I feel like I'm being penetrated all over.

"Really... Then help me clean up the bamboo tube here, and then clean it up."

Ayaka moved her eyes and gestured to the backyard that she had just made like this. In fact, she cleans it up by herself every time, but today she just wanted to force the other party to say it out in a hurry. Since the other party is like this If you are so urgent, you must be in a hurry. In that case, this is how you deal with it.

"..."

Thomas was stunned.

"...How~?"

She slightly let the folding fan cover her dark smile.

"Uh haha...that...actually...the general asked me to get the tea set, haha."

Thomas finally told the truth in embarrassment.

"Oh~? Sir General, now?"

Her eyes instantly lit up after hearing this.

"Yes...the general just came to Shenli Mansion and said he wanted to borrow a tea set."

Thomas answered.

"That's it...then I won't bother you, I'll send it over."

A sweet smile appeared on her lips, and then she passed by Toma lightly, leaving her fragrant scent on him, and entered the tea room.

"……OK."

Thomas was stunned for a moment and agreed dumbly, then took a look at the mess outside the court that had not been cleaned up. He felt bad in his heart and was about to turn around and flee, but——

wow~

"Thoma..."

Ayaka thought of something and opened the door again and stuck her head out.

"!!"

He instantly trembled and froze in place.

"exist!"

Then he turned around and looked at his young lady who was covering half of her face with a folding fan.

"Cleaned up the backyard."

wow~

After saying that, she closed the door again without waiting for his reaction.

"……Yes."

Toma sighed... and came to the backyard a little discouraged, slowly picking up the fallen bamboo tube.

To be honest, it's better to let him deliver tea sets to the General, so as to avoid the work of cleaning up the backyard!

……

.........

At this time, Ying, who was waiting for Thomas to bring the tea set, was pacing back and forth in the vestibule of Shenli Mansion. Maybe he felt bored, so he sat down on the steps of the exposed tea room in front of him, leaning up casually. He lifted up his slender legs and looked down at the patterned socks wrapped around the middle and upper thighs.

He raised his hand and casually brushed the piece of fabric with his fingertips, brushing away a trace of earth-colored dust.
