Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 155 The Old Lady's Gift
"Who do you miss?"

"Well, there used to be a man and woman who were as loving as you. At that time, we sat under the cherry tree and drank wine. The cherry blossom petals fell into the wine glass and we swallowed them together." The old woman's face was full of nostalgia. expression.

"Love..."

Qiu Xue couldn't help but lower her head, but on her lap was Nozomi Arakawa's sleeping face.

Her heart was a little messed up, it was all the fault of that comic.

At least before reading that manga, Qiu Xue didn't have such a bold idea, she just wanted Nozomi Arakawa to stay by her side.

"Can I ask the names of those two people?" Qiu Xue asked naturally.

"Zhang and Ba are two old friends." The old woman smiled, "When Zhang is drunk, he likes to sleep on Ba's lap."

"Zhang and Ba...they have beautiful names, so the relationship between the two of them is very good."

"That's right," the old woman said sadly, "very good, until the end, the two of them were buried together even when they died."

Qiu Xue gently stroked Nozomi Arakawa's face, she thought that if she and her brother could die of old age together in the future, it would be great if they were buried together.

Then not even death can tear us apart.

Qiu Xue murmured, seemingly unaware that her thoughts were being led away by the old woman.

"By the way, you young people have read a lot and are well-informed. Can you answer a question for the old man?" The old woman asked suddenly.

"what?"

Facing the questions from the older generation, Qiu Xue, who is knowledgeable and elegant, tried her best to sit dignifiedly, but Arakawa Wang was sleeping soundly on her lap, which was not harmonious no matter how you looked at it.

"Don't be too nervous, just listen to an old woman making a ridiculous joke." The old woman smiled and crossed her fingers.

Only then did Qiu Xue notice that the ten fingers of the old woman in front of her were very slender. You can imagine what kind of enviable jade hands the old woman had when she was young.

"A thing that has already disappeared, is it too arrogant to insist on existing in this world?" The old woman asked softly, but it was not like asking Qiu Xue, but more like asking herself.

"Things that have already disappeared in this world will never reappear no matter what." Qiu Xue said.

"What if it is possible?" said the old woman. "A small country that was extinct during the Warring States period reappeared today. Is it hope or ignorant arrogance?"

"Everything in the world has a law of replacement. A country is just like a person, and it will always die." Although this question is very strange, Qiu Xue still replied with a smile, "Even if that small country reappears today, it can no longer keep up with the times. .Things that go against the tide of the times will not end well. If the countries and people of that era reappeared in this era, what attitude should they take towards the current world? Should they live according to their own way, or Talk about integrating into the current society? But what about that country? Will those in power easily give up their power and become a part of this modern society? Once he wants to stick to his country, how can the current society sit idly by? It is a law that the old waves are always beaten on the beach by new waves, just like the law of birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be violated.”

"Is that really the case..." The old woman's face showed some bitterness, and she whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "Once you integrate into this world, you lose the meaning of survival, but if you want to revive Ashina, you have to start a bloody storm... ...Xianyilang, your choice is the way of Shura..."

At this time, the tram arrived at the stop, and the old woman slowly stood up. Only then did Qiu Xue have an accurate understanding of the old woman's height.

The guarantee is at 1.8 meters, which is the lowest.

It is rare for an old man to have such a tall skeleton.

"But when we leave, I'll give you a gift." The old woman smiled and took out a piece of origami paper folded into the shape of a butterfly and handed it over.

When it was handed to Qiuxue, Qiuxue stretched out her hand to pick it up. Although it was an origami, it was also the heart of the old man.

But then the old woman withdrew her hand and shook her head: "No, forget it, I wish you happiness, little girl."

She walked to the car door, and at the same time lightly patted the shoulder of a frightened male high school student near the car door.

The male high school student's face was paralyzed for a moment, and he obediently shifted his gaze to his mobile phone. After the old woman got out of the car, the male high school student suddenly scratched his head.

"Has the tram arrived?"

The frightened expression disappeared, and the high school student was full of doubts. He was still driving on the line just now?

What he didn't know was that in the memory he had forgotten or taken away, the gift that the old woman gave Qiu Xue was not a butterfly, but a small knife, gently resting on Qiu Xue's fair neck.

... * ...

Ten minutes before the bell rang, Nozomi Arakawa hurried to the classroom.

He felt a little strange today, when he was on the tram, he wanted to wake up several times, but something seemed to put him in a dreamland, preventing him from waking up until Qiu Xue woke him up.

Only then did he realize that he had been sleeping on Qiu Xue's lap all the way... No wonder it was fragrant and soft.

At that time, Nozomi Arakawa made up his mind to stay up late again tonight... Ah no, forget about staying up late in the future.

"Arakawa-kun, good morning."

As soon as he entered the classroom, Kazuya was greeting Nomo Arakawa.

"You guy came to school instead of recuperating in the hospital?" Arakawa Wang was taken aback.

"Small injury, it's nothing serious." Kazumi shook his head lightly, "Thank you, Arakawa-kun."

"It's okay." Arakawa Wang waved his hand.

At this moment, Kanda Otowa quietly poked Nomo Arakawa, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for treating him to black tea yesterday." Nozomi Arakawa said angrily.

"Does Asano-kun like black tea?" Kanda Otowa's eyes lit up.

She likes black tea, and Asano-kun also likes black tea, and the two of them even like to drink the same drink, maybe it is really destined!

Arakawa looked at Kanda Otowa's nympho look, a little speechless, he guessed what Kanda Otowa was thinking.

But it’s just that two people like to drink the same thing. Are they so happy?

"I have recommendations for black tea, Asano-kun, would you like to try the black tea I made someday?" Kanda Otowa said excitedly.

"Don't bother Kanda-san, I prefer cold white tea or coffee to black tea..." Kazuya said.

The smile on Kanda Otowa's face froze, and Arakawa laughed happily.

Turning his head, Kanda Otowa's cheeks were bulging like a goldfish.

"I like drinking black tea, make it for me!" Arakawa said.

Kanda Otowa remained silent, she thought she had finally found a hobby similar to Asano and Kazuya, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

So what are you guys thankful for!

"Don't be angry," Nozomi Arakawa said, "I just did Kazuya a favor."

Nozomi Kanda Otowa Arakawa is quite flattered. With the help of this master, he doesn't need to make up lessons.
