Chapter 74: Demon Sword
Fuso, Kyoto, Nan’s attic.
A figure rushed to the front of the attic, and two guards held up the sticks in their hands: "No access!" The
sky was gloomy, and it was already cloudy with thunderous thunder in the sky.
"Let me in."
The girl stood in front of the attic, staring at the two guards with unhappy eyes: "Awu, Genji, you dare to stop me?"
"Miss Shiori, please don't embarrass us..."
The two Wu family guards His expression was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't dare to make a move or get out of the way.
"Let! Me! Come in! Go!"
Nan Shizhi repeated heavily, her tone anxious and resentful: "My sister has not eaten a grain of rice for more than four days. Do you really want to starve her to death! Even if you make a mistake It can't be like this! If you are afraid of grandpa's censure, just leave the responsibility to me!"
The guard looked helpless: "How can we have the courage... but the head of the family does not allow passage."
Nanji Teru doted on Minami Shiori and everyone in the Nan family loved him. As we all know, this second young lady is destined to become the head of the Nan family in the future. Because she is extremely talented and has inherited the heroic bloodline of the Nan family's ancestors, it is impossible for her to marry outside the family. She must stay in the family and inherit the family business.
Therefore, the education methods of the two young ladies of the Nan family are completely different. The eldest daughter receives a rigorous education, but will serve as a bride and a bond of interests; while Minami Shiori can go out to school and be free, even Nan Jihui cannot. More restraint leads to laissez-faire freedom.
Minami Shiori also knows this, so she often deliberately teases her family members by pretending to be spoiled to give her sister some breathing space.
She had always sympathized with Mahiru and didn't understand why her family treated her sister who was also a blood relative so harshly.
The guards refused to let go, but Minami Shiori broke into the attic anyway, taking the rice balls she made herself.
Walking all the way to the top of the attic, Minami Shiori saw Minami Mahiru who looked haggard.
Although the latter was haggard and weak, he still sat upright. Although he sat here without washing for several days, his quiet and dignified sitting posture made the deserted confinement room exude the refreshing fragrance of white plums.
Shiori usually behaves delicately and domineeringly, but only in front of Minami Mahiru does she restrain herself a lot.
As a half-sister, she sympathized with Mahiru, and also envied Mahiru...envious of his calm demeanor and uncompromising pride.
In the eyes of her family, she is just an unreasonable girl, but her sister is the face of the Nan family, the real lady of the family.
Mahiru closed her eyes and obviously heard the noise. She frowned and whispered: "Why did you break in... Genji and Takeru will be punished. I told you many times, you have to consider the consequences of doing things." , don't just come here based on your own preferences."
"Sister, eat something. I brought rice balls. You can eat less to regain your strength..." Shiori skipped the topic and said directly: "This is me I made it myself, although it doesn't look very good. There are salmon and plum fillings inside. There is also hot miso soup and egg rolls." "Thank you... but I can't eat it." "Why are you so stubborn? You are hungry
again
. If you go on, your body won't be able to bear it!"
"If you can't bear it, you have to continue." Mahiru said softly: "I don't want to be this bride, I don't want to marry someone I don't know, and I don't want to accept that I don't have the right to choose... This It's my only ability to resist."
"I don't understand this." Shiori clasped her fingers and retorted loudly: "I just understand that if fighting is predicated on hurting yourself, it's wrong... You have to fight. You should choose a smarter and more eclectic way, so that besides torturing yourself, it may not make grandpa change his mind."
Mahiru was not convinced, but was still a little surprised: "Where did you learn these principles... ...Finally have time to read a book instead of wandering around?"
Shiori sighed: "Sister, I have been studying at Meiji High School for more than two years. Don't treat me like a child. Although I am playful, But I haven’t fallen behind too much in basic homework. It’s just that unlike you, I don’t go to etiquette classes and various spiritual practices... I still like to read in my spare time." "
High school... it's really good." Mahiru murmured, There is envy and want in the tone: "It must be very lively there, and there are many people of the same age. We can sit at the table and chat about interesting things together, go to class together, get out of school together, and go out for walks together. You must be living a good life." Poetry
. Ori didn't know how to answer, and she said with some sourness in her heart: "It's just so-so. It's not as good as my sister thought." "
That's something I can't touch." Mahiru said, "I can't touch it now, but in the future These experiences are destined to be absent in my life, so... Shiori, we are different and destined to take different paths. You can live as you wish, but I just survive. It's already very difficult."
As she spoke, her tone suddenly became cold and decisive, indifferent and distant: "We are sisters, but there are too many differences in life experiences. You and I are destined to not understand each other. You don't understand. Why do I resist? I don’t understand why you think resisting is easy..."
"I'm not...!" Shiori was anxious to explain.
Mahiru interrupted calmly: "I'm not blaming you, nor am I complaining, because everyone has their own destiny. I have already looked away from some of them. The rest will be left to time." Shiori listened half-comprehensively: "
Sister , look away, why don't you take a bite?"
Mahiru shook his head: "These are two different things, I can look away, but that doesn't mean I have to do it your way... This is my stubbornness, and the only thing I have My pride has gone down. As a sister, I don’t want to be shown sympathy and mercy by you."
Minami Shiori stood up angrily: "Why are you so stubborn!"
Mahiru smiled quietly: "Because I can't see."
"To me. For me, nothing is more terrifying and profound than this darkness."
"I walk on the edge of the cliff all the time, and I need to be careful about being tripped and injured by all kinds of things. If I don't have enough courage and stubbornness, I can still Have you survived until now?"
She smiled in a low voice and laughed at herself: "I also thought about the meaning of living like this, but I have to have a little hope..."
Minami Shiori listened to Mahiru's words quietly.
She whispered: "I understand the truth, but... why don't you want to eat?"
Minami Mahiru paused for a moment, then she turned her cheek slightly and sighed softly: "How can a single-minded, hot-blooded idiot like you still do it?" There's really nothing to say. I told you I won't eat the rice ball you made that looks like SpongeBob SquarePants!" "
Even for my sister, this statement is too much! This rice ball clearly looks like a ruffian boss!"
...
The clouds are gathering, and the electricity is Snakes tumbled and twisted in the clouds.
The guard guard in front of the Nan family's gate noticed a man walking staggeringly in the dark sky.
"People in front of you, stop...the front is a private residence, no trespassing."
The guard scolded.
He noticed that the other party was swaying towards this side, and his movements looked very strange, like a drunken man.
As the other party approached, the guard saw a knife in the other person's hand... The sword is the symbol of a samurai. If you take a knife on the street without a sword order, you will be taken away by the Metropolitan Police for questioning.
However, the other party's clothes didn't look like a samurai, more like an executioner holding a sword.
"I'm going to do it if you don't stop!" the guard growled, holding the iron rod in his hand. The top of the rod was tied with cotton cloth, but it was just to hide the sharp edge on the top of the iron rod. It was actually opened. Sharp spear.
Just when he lowered the iron rod in his hand and made a move, he heard an extremely clear roar.
Boom——!
Thunder fell, violent rumbles tore through the quiet and anxious weather, and heavy rain fell.
In the flash of lightning, the guard only saw the strange man's body swaying slightly. He was ten steps away and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. He only had time to raise the weapon in his hand for defense, but saw the man wave his arm and use the knife. With a flick of the light, the weapon in his hand broke and separated from half of his body, falling to the ground, and blood blossomed.
The moment the weapon cuts into the body, the blade seems to be sucked into the body.
The blood smeared on the blade was quickly sucked clean.
"Hee hee, hee hee hee -"
The murderer holding the bloodthirsty demon knife let out a weird laugh. He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of Nan's house, swaying his body and crossing the threshold.
A dry sound came from the shaking humanoid's mouth. "So thirsty...so thirsty..."
...
in the attic.
Minami Shiori seemed to hear a woman's scream coming from outside: "There seems to be some movement?"
"Is it... a scream?" Mahiru was slightly startled: "What's the matter?" "
I'll go take a look! "Nan Shizhi ran out of the attic in a hurry.
Mahiru waited for half a minute, but Shiori didn't come back.
She heard the scream again, and an ominous premonition came over her.
He was about to get up, but he was too weak to move.
"Although this rice ball is weirdly shaped, as if you ate a Teletubbies alive, it still tastes good... Are you really not going to eat something?" At this time, suddenly, the familiar voice was mixed with the sound of eating rice
. .
If she hadn't been so weak, she would have even jumped up in surprise.
In fact, she tried to get up, but her legs were numb and she couldn't stand up at all for a while, as if she was jumping around like a drowning fish.
"Mr. Destiny?"
"Well, it's me... I suggest you eat something and don't waste other people's kindness. After all, you can't fight when you're hungry."
Bai Yu threw the rice ball over: "Your challenge is here ."
