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

Chizuru began to speak.

"good…"

She nodded.

"Actually, this story is more than that, it has unknown sequels."

Chizuru said with a sad face.

"...?"

An unknown follow-up?

She was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked Xiang Ying.

'do you know?film? '

[Unfortunately, I don’t know either. All I know is the beginning of this story. 】

Kage shook his head and said he didn't know. After all, she didn't attend the Mikawa Flower Festival every time, and the Kanria incident broke out not long after that, and there was no chance anymore.

'Is this so...'

She expressed her understanding, and then turned her attention to Qianzuru, listening to what the other person said——

Although their meeting was a beautiful thing, things did not always stay that way. When the festival met, the human warrior was about 25 years old.

Ten years after the agreement, the two parties met again as promised and still hit it off.

Drinking, traveling together, competing and competing... Maybe they just felt sympathy for each other when they first met, but now they sincerely treat each other as close friends.

Another ten years... The human samurai swordsmanship has reached its peak, and he is slightly better in the competition.

Kamai was so shocked that he quit drinking and practiced spiritual practice, and was full of energy and wanted to fight again in ten years... However -

However, the samurai could not wait for the next ten years. The reason was that war broke out in the south and the samurai went to guard the border. However, Kamai did not mind this. After all, ten years was a blink of an eye for youkai. Now, he could not wait any longer this year. That’s ten years.

But when they met again ten years later, he did not dare to recognize each other. At that time, the human warrior was already in his sixties, with scars all over his body and white hair...

Can you still hold the knife? —— Kamai asked.

Sigh... I can't hold it anymore, I'm old, and I came here to say goodbye. ——The human warrior replied.

Really, how about having an Akitsu feather show with me one last time? ——Kamai took out the pair of hako boards.

…as well. ——Answer from human warrior

In this way, the two played an Akitsu feather show again after a long absence, but this time the human samurai was old and exhausted, and was eliminated early due to lack of physical strength.

...What a pity.

Kamai looked at the exhausted human warrior and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"..."

The general's eyes were a little complicated at the moment, and his jade lips pursed lightly as if he had thought of something.

【…】

Ying subconsciously cared about her daughter at this moment, because she knew that the topic of life span was very sensitive for today's generals. Maybe this was also an example of the other party's immaturity.

Cherish the moment…

Her sister once told her this.

Chapter of Akitsu ~ Time passes easily, life is like dew: Chapter 41 It’s a bit humiliating to let you become a shrine maiden

From promising to regrettable... in just a few decades.

"Kamai-sama's appearance has not changed, but the old friend in front of him has aged. The joy of meeting him will eventually turn into a knot called 'regret'."

Qianzhe looked up at the morning light that was gradually emerging from the horizon, and her voice gradually became fainter, sad, and even fragile.

"It is said that bystanders are wise. After witnessing everything, I realized a cruel truth. That is, all the regrettable things were actually destined to happen from the beginning - this is a fate that cannot be escaped."

She walked up to the general and looked at the woman in front of her with her eyes downcast in deep thought.

"Sir, we have different life spans and different natures from humans, but we live on the same land, contact each other, attract each other, and eventually separate in a hurry."

"..."

The general was silent.

"Huh...when I wake up from the dream, I am left with only permanent thoughts and unresolved pain...I think you have experienced this too, right?"

Chizuru asked.

【General...】

Shadow worried about her.

'I'm fine... Phew... I know these are things that have to be experienced. '

She exhaled and comforted Ying like this, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. She was not feeling the same as Kamai was now. One day...

"..."

During this period, Heizang also rarely spoke, and listened to Qianzuru's story silently.

"If a big monster with a mature mind is like this, how sad should those simple and kind-hearted little monsters be when they say goodbye?"

Chizuru told it again...then looked at the surrounding beaches...with a trace of nostalgia in her eyes.

"I was hiding on this beach, waiting for the end of the day, but they happened to build Akitsu Entertainment here to wake me up from my slumber."

She didn't want these young and innocent children to come into contact with humans with infinite expectations and enthusiasm because they heard the legend of Kamai and the human warriors.

"——Because that will only repeat the same mistakes, and I don't want them to become like that."

Chizuru muttered while covering her heart.

"...I understand what you mean, but...I have something to ask."

The general raised his eyes to look at the woman again.

"Excuse me...Narukami-sama."

Chizuru did not refuse and listened to her patiently.

"Since you are pretending to be a ghost in order to keep those people away from this place, then what does it mean that someone from Tongtian Leader said before that he was trapped on the beach and tortured by its demonic power?"

If you want to scare them away, why would you go out of your way to do such a big trick on one person?

Heizang also nodded secretly and asked the same question.

"My power is very weak. Most of the time I use the props I have accumulated to scare people. It is inconvenient to show up when there are many people. But that bastard is greedy and wants to steal the decorations placed at the Akitsu Entertainment Festival and sell them back at a high price."

"That's why I used my few demonic powers to teach him a lesson!"

Qianzhe changed the topic and became disgusted, her eyes became cold, and her words were full of contempt and disgust.

so...

She understood... In other words - should the evildoer complain first?

[No wonder he is the only one who deserves it...no need for mercy. 】

It was clear that she was meditating in the pure land and said indifferently with her arms slightly crossed.

"That's it. I will check with him when I go back later."

Heizang answered after understanding.

"Qianzuru, could your true form be these pair of feather boards?"

The general asked as he picked up the pair of old boards in his hands.

"That's right..."

Chizuru nodded.

Hundreds of years ago, the monster Kamai and the human samurai used the feather board in the Akitsu feather show. Under the influence of the powerful monster power, they gradually developed minds. She is the closest witness to their stories, those unknown things. They are all her few memories.

"Hundreds of years have passed. Even with the protection of the demonic power, the feather board itself is almost worn out and decayed. My own existence is almost unsustainable, so there is almost no demonic power left."

Chizuru picked up the pair of feather boards and said complicatedly.

"Could this pair of feather boards be the target items of the third courage test competition?"

The general's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he thought of something. The ignored thing, the target object that the third courage meeting is looking for, isn't this pair of feather boards?

"Since the third round of items was provided by Narukami Taisha, it means-"

"Exactly, General, you really did not disappoint your sister."

At this moment, as if her idea had been verified, Yae Kamiko, the palace minister of Narukami Taisha Shrine, arrived here with the little miko next to her. The beautiful, cherry-haired miko looked at her with a look of relief.

[Huh, now that I think about it, it turns out she did it... she's used to it. 】

When Ying saw his old friend coming over, he sighed helplessly.

"Oh, Shadow...don't think I can't hear you hiding in the Pure Land and saying bad things~?"

The son of God winked at the general, but he was actually looking at his shadow.

'Can she really hear it? '

the general asked cutely.

【How come?It's just a bluff. She can guess what I want to complain about based on her understanding of me. Phew...]

Shadow shrugged.

'Pfft... you two are really...'

The general was amused by her, what kind of happy enemies are they...

【…】

Ying glanced at her with some complaints, but when he saw his daughter smiling again, he subconsciously sketched a relieved smile. Maybe this is the mentality of a mother. Whenever her child is happy, she will be happy.

"Hmm - I guess she must have called my bluff. That's really easy to understand."

At this time, the Son of God further speculated.

"..."

'How should I answer?' '
