Chapter 83: Can loyalty fill the void?
"What did you say you want from me?" Bai Qichuan thought he had heard it wrong!
Broken knife?
Isn't breaking the sword equivalent to killing someone for the swordsman Tsukumogami?
Has Yakiri Hasebe gone mad?
The short-haired man was still kneeling, but his back was straight. He stared at him with red eyes and said solemnly: "I have committed a serious mistake, and I should commit seppuku to apologize. But... I'm sorry, my lord... Because I still want to see you again, because I still want to be with you, so I have to live on with a thick face..."
Bai Suchuan was surprised: "What big mistake did you make?"
After Yakiri Hasebe woke up from the Shinsengumi, the hidden pain that had been buried under his ecstasy finally burst out.
He counted his sins:
He was not capable enough to lead the first team back to Honmaru safely. Instead, the swords were scattered all over the place in their original form, and the lord had to take the trouble to collect them!
The Blade of Loyalty cannot solve the lord's worries, but instead causes trouble that the lord needs to clean up. This is a crime!
Second, he committed the mistake of devouring his master!
In the hands of an evil person, the arrogant and complacent sharpness turned into a fatal stab into the lord's abdomen!
Pressure cutting, a name that symbolizes a sharp blade, a name that can bring out the bloody taste of death as long as it appears in the mouth, he has always hated it but also secretly rejoiced about it. But at that time, he wished he was a piece of scrap metal!
Then, I was imprisoned.
At first, he was inappropriately autistic. He did not think about revenge for his master, but felt that he had made a big mistake and had no face to see his master. In despair and guilt, he wanted to seal himself and let time dissipate his soul. But after being touched by the giant hand that probed into his soul, the evil hidden in his body was awakened. He was discouraged and lost the initiative in the fight for the body!
The black fog obscured his vision. After a long period of confusion, when he regained consciousness, he vaguely saw: the master pushed aside the fog to find him...
Dozens of times of spiritual power supply helped him defeat the evil in his body that disturbed his mind, allowing him to once again have the possibility of exorcising the curse that had inexplicably tainted him!
He once didn't want to live, but how could he dare to let his lord's precious spiritual power go to waste?
If his life is cut off, and his lord, who does not understand his intention to commit suicide, will "save" him at a great cost and by overdrawing more frequently?
Yakiri Hasebe knew that given his lord's kindness and generosity, he would do his best to do this.
Taking control of one's own life and causing harm to the lord and oneself is the third mistake!
Finally... He witnessed Tsurumaru's desperate fight, his lord in deep danger, and familiar enemies threatening him, but he was trapped in an unconscious body and unable to fight, and watched the cursed spirit transform his lord into an unrecognizable monster...
What would revenge do? If his lord hadn't left a backup plan, no matter how much he cried and howled in anger, he couldn't save his one and only lord...
Even now, the young man who had experienced a great catastrophe woke up again. Not only had he lost weight, but he also seemed to have left with the sequelae of weak legs!
Being a subordinate but incompetent, the sharp sword in the master's hand backfired, empty talk of loyalty but in reality unable to protect the master...
It's only natural that the knife should be broken!
Bai Qichuan looked at the man kneeling beside his bed and listing his sins one by one, from forbearance to red and painful eyes to crying out loud beside his bed, burying his face in his hands, covering them tightly as if he was kowtowing on the bed.
"Ah, stop crying, Hasebe. I know you blame yourself, but I haven't blamed you yet. The broken sword is ridiculous. Does the sword have to decide its own fate for me, a Shinsengumi?"
Shirasuka knew that it was the special-grade cursed spirit who had harmed him by using Yasuke Hasebe at the festival, and he didn't have any extra thoughts.
Once it has turned into its original form, the sword will just be a weapon used by others. How can it decide its own use?
He couldn't quite understand the thoughts of Tsukumogami like Yakiri Hasebe.
He couldn't empathize with them, and wondered why the swords, who were used by others against their will, were obsessed with the death of their former masters? Many Fusangshen blamed the death of their masters in history on their own failure to protect them.
Hasebe is not the only one who has this idea! For example, most of the red-eyed beginners are serious and occasionally act like a spoiled child. Fortunately, Kashu Kiyomitsu's knot is easy to untie. He just accidentally talked to the beginner and said a few words to him, and the boy stopped being obsessed.
As for Fudo Gyōmitsu, who arrived a few days before he left Honmaru, he could not let go of his stubborn ideas and often indulged in sadness and escaped with alcohol. He had not had time to deal with the knot in the heart of this short swordsman.
There are more blades, more tsukumogami who can't let go of the past, and more pasts that Shirasu Gawa has not been able to understand one by one...
After all, they and humans are two species. Lacking communication, it is naturally difficult for them to understand each other.
——All this doesn’t stop Baisuchuan from liking them!
Rather, if he was only attracted by the visual preferences of the gorgeous or simple swords, he would only become a collector. Only when the heavy weapons, whether famous or unknown, have invaluable humanistic value, will he be willing to be the head of a large Honmaru in the name of the Shinsengumi, and be fortunate to have the opportunity to form a relationship with every Fusangshen.
Therefore, he couldn't leave anyone behind!
Shirasuga refuted Yakiri Hasebe's claims one by one: "Before we went to that era, we knew nothing about the world of sorcerers. The records of the Time Government were not comprehensive, and the information they provided us was seriously insufficient!"
"It was the Time Government's misjudgment! At the time, we thought we didn't need to get involved in the world of magic because our enemies were the Time Travelers who were disrupting history. But Minghu said afterwards that you didn't see them at the scene," but the Nine Square Array was seen in Kyoto. "At that time, you were able to adapt to the situation and did your best to complete the unreasonable task."
The pressure on Hasebe's shaking shoulders slowed down a lot.
"As for that cursed spirit..." Shirasu thought helplessly: Yakiri Hasebe could have kept this a secret, because no one except him knew who the knife belonged to! However, the loyal and upright man could not get past this hurdle, and he gave up on himself and applied for the knife to be broken... and he, the victim, had to persuade him in a good voice.
Shirasuga, the youngest member of the entire Honmaru, thought: A Tsukumogami who has lived for 1,800 years should have experienced a lot, but how could he be so fragile and easily doubt his life and collapse silently?
Bai Suchuan sighed.
He was actually very exhausted now. Not only did his soul damage affect his physical condition, but just pretending to be calm had already consumed most of his energy. He was also in a bad mood, and his heart never stopped aching as it beat with his breathing. It was just that when he woke up after a long sleep, all the sadness seemed like a dream. He had not had time to capture it carefully, and he had to force himself to deal with the consequences of sleeping.
He tried his best to listen to Yakiri Hasebe's statement and apology, and tried his best to comfort the young man who was in pain, blaming himself and determined to die, but who would comfort him?
He still doesn't want to think about what his soul sensed during his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he didn't see the familiar white figure... He knew that the so-called special cursed spirit Tsurumaru Kuninaga who stayed in the world and controlled the area that the Nine Square Array entered and exited twice was his lover who had not yet broken up! And the drama that the soul fragment saw before it collapsed, which should be evaluated as absurd, was the reality that eroded him in every possible way!
He fell into a daze before he had finished speaking, until the sob that was suppressed to the extreme but still came out of Hasebe's throat interrupted him.
Yes, he needs to cheer up now! The weak human youth closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again.
Shirasuga took the towel left by Taro Tachi.
"I cannot accept your statement! The first time, the curse spirit wanted to play tricks on you and me. At that time, no matter who held the knife in its hand, even if it was a piece of ordinary iron without any intelligence, I would not be able to escape with my mortal body. The second time, it was unarmed, but I still fell into its hands. I had spiritual power that could target the characteristics of the curse spirit, but it was useless. In this case, shouldn't it be blamed on my lack of physical skills, low spiritual power, and my laziness?"
As he spoke, he first inserted one hand into the gap between the forehead of the young man and the quilt, and forcibly lifted his head. Then, in the young man's stunned expression, he mercilessly smeared the towel on the pitiful face that was crying, wiped it clean, and then took his hands to wipe off the water stains.
"How can this be blamed on you?" Yakiri Hasebe was anxious!
He looked directly into Bai Suchuan's eyes and clenched his fists eagerly! The soft towel pressed against his palm, and Bai Suchuan's hand, which was wiping his hand, was also clenched, but he was unaware of it and retorted indignantly: "It was obviously us who failed to protect you! When the enemy attacks, how can you let your lord go into battle? Only a useless sword and a sword that is not loyal enough will make excuses for itself if you let your lord die before the sword is broken!"
Shirasu tried to twitch his fingers, but failed. Yakiri Hasebe was so busy retorting that he didn't notice the wrong touch. Fusangshen was so strong that Shirasu felt that if he hadn't been wrapped in a towel, his finger bones might have been broken!
"No matter what you say, your so-called big mistake is just that in my eyes. We have no other punishment in Honmaru except increasing the number of internal performances. What you said about breaking the sword is nonsense." Bai Suchuan said tiredly. He gave up entangled with Yakiri Hasebe. Fierce arguments were not suitable for him. He believed that Yakiri Hasebe would not insist on his own way under his opposition, not to mention that he said at the beginning, "Break my sword when you don't need me anymore."
Seeing that the young man was about to burst into tears, Bai Suchuan closed his eyes first, obeying his body's fatigue and choosing to avoid the conversation. "I may need to sleep for a while, but this time I won't be unable to wake you up."
He didn't look at Yakiri Hasebe's expression, but just gently pulled the young man's hand, signaling him not to continue kneeling.
"Actually, I haven't finished what I want to say, but there is something I must tell you right now," Bai Suchuan pulled his hand back easily this time and yawned lightly.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he immediately felt sleepy, as if the previous ten days of sleep were not enough, as if his weak body was clamoring to reduce desires in order to protect itself.
What he didn't know was that in the eyes of Hasebe, who loved his master dearly, this sleepy look was completely demonized!
[The human youth looked sick, unable to walk, and even lacked the strength to sit up! Today's brief awakening seemed to be to untie the knot in his heart, so that he would no longer punish himself day and night!
The conversation just now seemed to have exhausted his energy. Now, his tired body was paying for waking up early...】
Shirasu was completely unaware of the fear that had trembled over Hasebe. In the last few seconds before he lost consciousness, he whispered softly:
"Whether I need Hasebe or not is not up to Hasebe to decide. But I can confirm for my future self right now that I will always need Hasebe..."
“……!”
…
Taro Tachi first informed Hasebe Yashikiri, who was working in the castle tower, and then thought about telling others as soon as possible. Everyone should be happy to hear this good news, right? However, when his words reached the ears of other Tsukumogami...
Anyway, the fastest few daggers who broke into the castle tower saw: the curtains were drawn, the lord was still sleeping on the only big bed in the dim room, and Yasaki Hasebe was half-kneeling beside the bed, cherishing the red fingertips of the human being.

The car that Gojo Satoru chartered for the Tokyo Jujutsu High School was parked at the foot of the mountain.
"Why did you stop?" the panda asked curiously.
The driver pointed at the navigation and told him: "The location sent by the employer is here." Inujuan Ji took a closer look and saw that they were no longer in Kyoto.
"Isn't it said that in addition to landscapes, cultural attractions are also very unique?" What about small towns? What about ancient cities? If there are no historical relics, there must be beautiful villages, right? !
The driver replied with a cold sweat: "It seems that, uh, there is indeed a famous temple on the mountain?"
However, I haven't heard of anyone visiting the temple, and the human settlement nearby has been relocated. He is not from here, so he doesn't know the specific reason.
Letting the driver go, a few "eyes" of the sorcerers looked at the desolate mountain in front of them. The vegetation was dense, and even a small path up the mountain could not be seen. It can only be said that it was not consistent with a tourist attraction!
"Forget it! Uncle driver, we won't get off the bus. Let's go back the same way."
The driver replied awkwardly: "The employer only said that we will let you get off here. It seems that there are other arrangements. He asked me to wait here for two days before picking you up."
"That bastard teacher!" Zenin Maki said angrily, gritting her teeth.
The driver refused to take him away, because the employer was generous and paid him very well, and he would give him more money after the trip. So even though he felt that this place seemed a bit unreliable, he still decided to stick to the original plan.
He gritted his teeth and drove the boys and girls off the bus.
The "eyeless" Jiu Fang Zhen had a lump on the back of his hand from a mosquito bite at the foot of the mountain, so he kept using his magic to drive away the mosquitoes. The driver didn't dare to provoke him because of his aura. After the people in the front row got off the car, he stood in the middle of the car, hesitating and not daring to speak.
Fushiguro Megumi nodded towards the middle-aged man. Not wanting to embarrass an ordinary person who was tricked by Gojo Sensei, he took the initiative to pull Kyuubajin's arm and lead him out of the car.
They walked around the foot of the mountain for a long time, until they were all thirsty, then they saw a tall, white-haired man waving at them from afar.
"Asshole teacher!" The hot-tempered but energetic green-haired girl rushed over first. "You tricked us here with the promise of 'traveling around in the mountains and rivers', but the mountain we want to travel on is this?" Zenin Maki pointed at the tree beside her in disbelief.
"Well, it's very interesting!" Gojo Satoru was not ashamed of deceiving his students but proud of it. He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Ding Dong! I announce!" He raised the second finger of his right hand:
"The first school friendship event - hosted by the most popular teacher Gojo Satoru, it combines racing, physical strength, the use of cursed power, and teamwork. It has rich and exciting content, and the rewards are full of surprises. The competition between first and second graders is now officially underway! Let's begin!" Applause.
Thirsty and tired, lack of sleep, everyone at the college: it starts again...
Jiu Fang Zhen turned around and left, dragging Fushiguro Megumi with him: "I won't participate."
Gojo Satoru looked at his resolute back and the face of Fushiguro Megumi who was held by him and looked hopeless. He did not act like a spoiled child and say that he must participate as he did before. Instead, he pointed at the two people who broke through the normal distance - the normal distance of the nine-square formation and asked the others curiously: "What's going on?"
He knew that Jiufangzhen could be a bit clingy at times. He had seen Jiufangzhen hug Fushiguro Megumi actively, and once he was the one who pushed him. Looking at the direction of the cursed energy in his brain... it seemed like it could relieve tension and stress?
But I said it was only occasionally! Usually, the Nine Squares wanted to stay away from others. Even if they got close, they would put others in front of them. They would not even allow others to walk behind them!
Who would have thought that during the few days in Kyoto, this child would take the initiative to lead others to walk forward! He didn't seem uncomfortable when someone walked behind him!
Gojo Satoru was amazed.
"Ah, you don't know?" Kugisaki Nobara said in a complicated tone.
"?" Gojo Satoru asked in confusion.
“Did you see the photos on the forum?”
"Of course, teacher, I am a fashionable adult!" And when the discussion went in a bad direction, it was he who made the phone call to deal with it.
He completely ignored the complaints that "those who say they are fashionable are the ones who are out of date."
Gojo Satoru scratched his face and asked, "Are you trying to say that what was made up on the forum is true?"
…
No one spoke.
What? It's not...
Gojo Satoru smiled and wanted to say that this trick couldn't fool the teacher, then he saw a few people with sympathy on their faces, Gojuan Ji secretly grinning with his collar covering his face, especially Panda, the sympathy and anticipation in his little eyes were obvious!
……!
shock!
"Is it really true?!"
"Really!"×4
Gojo Satoru was shocked: "Really?!!!"
"Really!" ×3
"Are you blind?" ×1
The strongest trance.
Hiding in the woods wearing a panda doll costume, Yuji Itadori saw from afar that Gojo Sensei did not signal him as planned, but instead looked shocked as if he had seen Jennifer Lawrence in real life!
If we wait any longer, Fushiguro and Kyukata will be gone!
Listen to the teacher·Don't dare to move in order to hide·Don't even dare to hit a mosquito·Be bitten on the face·Yuji Itadori:
so,
Is he going to jump out again?
