Chapter 43: Sleeping with your feet on the ground and daydreaming (He Bai)
Having successfully shut out the overly enthusiastic host, Tsurumaru Kuninaga turned around, leaned against the door, and let out a long sigh in front of Shirasuga.
"Ah——" He shook his head back and forth, in a very exaggerated and artificial way.
Shirasuga was not so stupid that he could not see that Tsurumaru Kuninaga was sighing deliberately, but he did not know the reason why Tsurumaru sighed.
"Is there anything worth lamenting?" Bai Qichuan asked doubtfully.
"Finally got rid of that weird bangs!" Tsurumaru Kuninaga danced with joy, "You don't know, if I hadn't interrupted him just now, he could have talked for an hour! His slow pace of speech, and the vague and mysterious content, really tortured Death Blade!"
Then, he imitated Geto's tone and said, "The strongest person in the current magic world is Rokugan. His magic skills are second to none. He is a big shot that even I find difficult to deal with..."
Shirasu Chuan stopped him softly without much power, and even preached slowly: "Don't be unreasonable! Tsurumaru! Brother Getou has his own style of doing things. Aren't all the many mourning gods in Honmaru similar? Talking about him behind his back is 'disrespectful'!"
But having said that, he couldn't help but think of Geto Suguru's bangs. Are his bangs weird?
When he first saw him, he thought that Geto was imitating the knights in his hometown who had no time to take care of their hair and had grown dragon whisker bangs after tying their hair. It was just that the other side of the symmetrical bangs was accidentally tied at the back and could not flow in front of the forehead.
So, this is Brother Xiayou’s unique hairstyle design?
Tsurumaru Kuninaga had no way to deal with a lord who couldn't take a joke.
The fact that the Shinsengumi is a gentleman is neither good nor bad. When he treats people as friends, he is really sincere and can't stand hearing any bad words. But once he gives his trust, he will go all the way to the end, unable to see the two sides of human nature, and will not turn back until he hits a wall.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga thought to himself: However, with his protection, he will not let the Shinsengumi run into any obstacles!
Tsurumaru didn't want to admit the crime of "talking about others behind their backs" and "disrespect". He just wanted to say "your friend might have bad intentions towards me" and then explain his sudden intimacy to the Shinsengumi. But Shirasu Kawan didn't seem to care about this?
Did the Shinsengumi not seem to think that his embrace was abrupt? Or did he realize it but didn't care?
After Shirasuki finished his lecture, he took off his shoes and socks in an orderly manner, and lay down on the only bed in the cabin, about to bury himself with the quilt, without questioning his previous inappropriate behavior in front of Getsuki! Tsurumaru Kuninaga tried to hold back, but still couldn't help but speak up to disturb Shirasuki's rest.
"My Lord, don't you think something is wrong?"
Don’t you think there’s anything wrong with Geto Suguru caring more about the “friend of a friend” than the “friend” himself when they first met?
Don't you think it's wrong to be hugged from behind and have close contact? Even if the person is a subordinate whom you trust absolutely, you should be more cautious!
Huh? Bai Qichuan obediently grasped the edge of the quilt with both hands and was about to pull it under his neck. Hearing this, he blinked blankly.
Why are you suddenly saying this?
What's wrong?
He looked around the simple wooden house, which was bare and had no chairs, let alone the knife rack where the Tsukumogami rested.
…
Oh! Tsurumaru has no place to rest!
Bai Qichuan suddenly realized.
He generously pulled open the quilt, rubbed it to the left, and patted the other half of the pillow: "I'm sorry, I just subconsciously thought that you were still a sword without any feeling, and forgot that Fusang Shen also needs to rest!"
Bai Suchuan half-supported his arms and lazily leaned on the pillow, inviting him naturally: "I haven't shared my bed with anyone since I came of age. Please don't despise me, Tsurumaru, and sleep with me."
Tsurumaru was frightened.
?
He, what is he talking about?!
Sleep with your feet together?
Invite him to sleep with you?
Is that what he meant?
No, no, no, no! Definitely not! The Shinsengumi is so upright, what he said definitely didn't mean to open the bedroom!
Damn it! How could a gentleman who always restrains himself and upholds propriety forget to be dignified in this regard? !
Tsurumaru Kuninaga, don't think so dirty! The Lord has a pure character, and what he said is well-founded and not a hint at all! You should stop thinking too much! Don't offend the Lord in your heart!
Tsurumaru Kuninaga temporarily forgot the series of explanations he had just wanted to give, and also forgot to analyze Geto Suguru's various strange attitudes with his lord and remind him not to let go too soon.
Just now, I rejected Geto Suguru for the sake of acting and ended up having no place to sleep?
The Shinsengumi is right! This is indeed a big problem!
The white-haired Tsukumogami swiftly took off his cold and hard armor, and quickly took off his cumbersome and cumbersome battle uniform, wearing only his inner clothes, and crawled into the bed left for him by the Shinsengumi.
Why not use the bed? He needs to sleep at night too!
Tsurumaru's underwear is thin and light. He usually wears this set only to match the heavy white battle uniform. It is a bit thin when worn alone. The cabin was originally on the beach with high radiation intensity to block the sun. In short, this area is warm and humid, and it does not make people feel cold.
As soon as Tsurumaru got into bed, he felt the faint body temperature of Shirasuka on his back. This was where Shirasuka had just laid down, and there was a dent on the bed sheet caused by him.
Although it is said that you can sleep with your feet touching, this bed is actually not that small. It is more than enough for two people to sleep on it, and there is even enough space of more than ten centimeters in between!
Tsurumaru felt a little hot under the quilt in such a hot day, but after a few minutes, he did not pull away the quilt even though his forehead was covered with sweat.
After taking a deep breath and waiting for a few minutes, Tsurumaru gently turned his head and cast his gaze on Shirasuga's face.
The human has obediently closed his eyes, his breathing has gradually become regular and orderly, and he has obviously allowed himself to fall asleep.
The pale face that had been there when he was first woken up had become much rosier due to sleep, and no longer had that unhealthy fragility.
Well, although Xia Youjie is a little strange, he won't disturb them easily. The area seems to be safe at the moment, and he can take this opportunity to get some sleep.
The person lies down and his mind starts to review the situation.
Of course, the things that are reviewed are not serious matters!
Tsurumaru felt that he was not nervous and he did not make a fuss just now. He agreed to the Shinsengumi's suggestion normally and naturally and lay down beside him obediently.
He even boasted to himself: the action of taking off his clothes did not seem urgent, which fully demonstrated the essence of the idea that "it's just a small matter, don't take it too seriously."
It was a small matter! When Fusangshen was on an expedition, it was common for him to sleep on the same bed with others, and even fall asleep on each other's shoulders when he was exhausted! Even if it was the lord, the two of them didn't think much of it, it was no big deal!
He completely forgot about his "overthinking" just now, and also completely ignored the stiff body in the quilt at this moment. He maintained the same posture, closed his eyes and waited quietly for sleep.
By the way, isn’t it very cold at the seaside at night?
Although his body was motionless, Tsurumaru Kuninaga's thoughts were wandering on the little knowledge he had heard by chance before.
If it's very cold, do humans need to keep warm? Oh no! Even if the swords were transformed into humans, they wouldn't have the 37 degree body temperature of humans!
If the Shinsengumi is afraid of the cold and is hugged, will he not be able to keep his lord warm?
Tsurumaru selectively ignored the fact that Shirasu's legs were exposed outside the quilt because of the heat, and he also ignored the fact that he was sweating profusely in the quilt, and he also ignored the fact that when he was guarding Shirasu with his sword, there was no difference between day and night in the area...
Immersed in my own bad fantasies, drowning in worry...
It's not known whether Tsurumaru would be relieved or secretly regretful that the cold night he had been waiting for never came.
Moreover, Shirasukawa has a very good sleeping posture. He doesn’t roll around or kick people.
In short, Tsurumaru lay on the bed with his eyes open, not daring to get up and disturb the Shinsengumi who was sleeping in the same bed with him. For three whole hours, nothing he imagined happened.
The situation on the bed was as peaceful as that on Chu River and Han River, with no one overstepping the line, and everything was peaceful until Bai Qichuan woke up from a good sleep.
Bai Qichuan's movements when he opened his eyes were no different from when he closed them. Even his hair was not messy, but just hung neatly behind his head, waiting for someone to tie up his black hair with a hair tie.
He did not move randomly, because he found that Tsurumaru Kuninaga was sleeping soundly beside him, with his white eyelashes gently drooping, covering his lively and divine golden eyes. Two long strands of hair behind his head went around his neck and tied around his cheeks, and the ends of his hair trembled slightly with his owner's gentle breathing.
Tsurumaru: Damn it! My hair is itching my face!
Bai Qichuan watched quietly for a while, then stood up quietly, trying his best not to disturb the other person.
Tsurumaru must be tired too. He has been nervous since he fell into a coma. Let him sleep a little longer.
His considerate tenderness was not missed by Tsurumaru.
Fusangshen originally intended to pretend to be alert and wait for an opportunity to wake up when the Shinsengumi moved. Seeing that the Shinsengumi was trying hard to get up without waking him up, he certainly had to be considerate of the Shinsengumi and not let the other party feel guilty.
So he missed the opportunity to tie his lord's hair - this was a job he had applied for on his own initiative when he was a attendant!
It was not until Shirasuga managed his hair on his own that Tsurumaru Kuninaga sat up, pretending to rub his eyes.
"It's time to eat, my lord."
Tsurumaru reminded the pure humans with mortal bodies not to forget to eat. In addition to sleep, eating is also an important way for humans to replenish their physical strength.
Bai Suchuan nodded.
When they were leaving the area, they happened to meet the black-haired man, so the three of them went to the restaurant recommended by Getsu to eat.
This time there was no curse to follow, and the restaurant chosen by Getsu did not suffer a fire that burned everything.
Tsurumaru did not forget to perform the "Our relationship is special, please don't interfere easily" scene in front of Geto Suguru as usual. While picking up food for his lord, he discussed with him how to find the remaining swords.
They did not hide this matter from Geto Suguru, but discussed it openly in front of him. After all, the other party had already offered to help them create the sword-finding spell, and was also very familiar with the spell world that was closely involved in this matter. He was considered half of their own, so there was no need to hide.
At this time, Geto Suguru did provide a lot of valuable information and made some meaningful suggestions.
Shirasuga only glanced at Xiayoujie's one-sided bangs at the beginning, and later he was buried in the surging love of his subject, quietly listening to the discussion of the other two people, and concentrating on finishing the food in the bowl.
After the discussion over the meal, the master and the sword decided to go to the high school where Yuji Itadori once worked and ask if anyone had encountered a lost sword during a mission.
——The reason why they are “together” is that Tsurumaru is worried about the Shinsengumi traveling alone, and he is determined to protect him by his side, never leaving his side!
After he said this, even Geto Xiayou looked at him again.
But the matter was finally settled. They thanked Xia Youjie for his selfless help again.
The other party is currently evading pursuit by the magic world and has his own things to do, so he is quite busy and we cannot expect him to act with them.
It is not easy to find time to have a meal with them and discuss the intelligence in detail, and he also promised to find other ways to help them. Such good people are simply Bodhisattvas sent by Buddha to save all living beings!
Tsurumaru: If he didn't always glance in his direction, suspecting that he had a secret crush on him even though he was already taken, and if he didn't give up and silently pay attention to his every move even after his hopes were dashed... then he would really be a saint!
If he hadn't seen the Shinsengumi enjoying the meal and looking very satisfied with the food, he would have wanted to find an opportunity to take his lord away early!
The three of them parted at the restaurant entrance. Xia Youjie watched their backs disappear in the crowd, then looked down at the latest news push on his mobile phone, smiling without saying a word.
— —The Suzuki Foundation will hold a new exhibition at the Clear Sky Hotel soon. The exhibition will focus on the latest collection of Mr. Jiro Suzuki…
