Zongman, starting from picking up Yuyuko

"Well, I'll wait..."

At the end of the conversation, Hayami Yu hugged Kikyo and gave her a last kiss. Kikyo also used up her last bit of strength to gently say "hmm" to Hayami Yu, and then there was no movement at all.

The warmth of Platycodon in his arms gradually faded, and at this moment, tears of reluctance flowed from Hayami Yu's eyes.

Because he didn't understand why, why did it turn out like this, he had clearly come back to change everything, but why nothing changed?

He came back fifty years later. After experiencing Kikyo's resurrection, he didn't understand why Kikyo walked with him, so he followed Kikyo's instructions and came back fifty years ago to find the answer.

But fifty years ago, he discovered that Kikyo did not recognize him, and there was no second self fifty years ago. Therefore, the two were just strangers.

Although the two of them got together later, what is the difference between this ending and the one fifty years later?

Kikyo still died, but he clearly came back and could change everything. But for some reason, every path he took seemed like a predetermined route, and he could only watch Kikyo die.

"Wait, a set route?"

Thinking of this, Hayamiyu suddenly realized something, then raised his head and widened his eyes, unable to believe the truth of this matter.

No, it's not just hard to believe, it's unbelievable.

Because he suddenly realized that there was no second self fifty years ago. Wasn't he just the second self fifty years ago?

Moreover, everything he experiences now can be matched with what he will know fifty years from now.

Guard the Four Souls Jade with Kikyo, live with Kikyo, defeat monsters with Kikyo, and then walk with Kikyo.

Even the last sentence matches, although the last sentence was said suddenly by Hayami Yu on a whim, but perhaps, this suddenness is inevitable.

In other words, the Hayami Yuu of fifty years ago is actually the Hayami Yuu who is looking for the answer fifty years later.

Because Hayami Yu went back to fifty years ago, that's why he and Kikyo experienced everything fifty years ago and walked together.

Also because of what happened fifty years ago, fifty years later, Kikyo was resurrected by the ghost girl Rito and met Hayami Yu who knew nothing, which made him go back fifty years ago to find the answer.

Because in Kikyo's cognition, the two of them have already been together, and Hayami Yu just doesn't know it now. As long as Hayami Yu sees the picture of him and her together, he will naturally understand everything.

But it was precisely this unintentional action of Kikyo that led to the reincarnation of returning to fifty years ago.

No, that's not right. If you think about it carefully, this cycle has no beginning and no end.

In order to find the answer, Hayami Yu went back to fifty years ago, and that's how the story of him and Kikyo happened.

But because of the story that happened fifty years ago, Kikyo would stay for fifty years with longing in her heart. After she woke up, she found that Hayami Yu knew nothing, and then asked Hayami Yu to go back fifty years ago to find the answer.

Once Hayami Yu chooses to go back, he will return to the original reincarnation point again, and the story of fifty years ago will happen again with Kikyo.

Then, after experiencing Kikyo's death, the resurrected Kikyo will meet Hayami Yu again, who knows nothing, and then let him go back fifty years to find the answer.

It's like a circle. No matter where it starts, it is the starting point, and no matter where it ends, it is the end point.

From the beginning to the end, Hayami Yu and Kikyo are the same person, just in different time periods, and in each time period, there is a gap of fifty years between Hayami Yu and Kikyo.

Suddenly figuring it out, Hayami Yu was confused.

I didn't understand all of this, and I didn't know how I should use my expression to deal with it.

Because all this seems to be a destined ending. No matter what they do, he and Kikyo seem unable to escape this cycle.

Thinking of this, Hayami Yu took a deep breath and planned to carry Kikyo's body back first, but the three-tailed fox and Youdaojime had already knelt behind Hayami Yu and said with great self-blame.

"Good morning, sir. I'm so sorry!"

Strictly speaking, it was indeed their fault. After all, it was Hayami Yu who gave the order. But Hayami Yu had already figured it out. All of this was just a predetermined cycle. Even if there was no such accident, there would be the next one.

"Get up, you are not wrong in this matter, we will talk about it later."

"Yes, we understand."

The two were puzzled, but didn't say much. They just obeyed and went back with Hayami Yu.

After returning, Feng was also stunned when she learned about this, because she couldn't imagine that her sister would die.

At this moment, Feng threw herself into Hayami Yu's arms and burst into tears.

Afterwards, Hayami Yu helped Feng and the villagers bury Kikyo with great ceremony.

As for the Shikon Jade, Hayami Yuya cremated it together with the body as Kikyo had told him before her death, so as to prevent the Shikon Jade from causing monsters to attack the village.

After that, Hayami Yu stayed for a while. In order to accompany Feng and wait for her to get over the pain of losing her sister, he also taught her the knowledge of shrine maidens and onmyoji on behalf of Kikyo, so that she could be qualified for the position of shrine maiden in the village and live a good life.

After doing all this, Hayami Yu also said goodbye to Feng.

"Grandma Feng, it's almost time for me to return to my own era. So, let's meet in fifty years."

Before leaving, Hayami Yu greeted Feng with a smile. Feng was now wearing a shrine maiden costume and had completely inherited everything from Kikyo. So after nodding, she smiled and said to Hayami Yu.

"Well, see you in fifty years. But according to what Hayami said to me, I will probably have forgotten Hayami in fifty years. I will be just an old woman with white hair. I will probably be very ugly by then..."

Having said this, Feng gradually lowered her eyes. After all, no one can ignore the aging brought by time, but she quickly came to her senses and forced a smile.

"But there's nothing I can do about it. See you soon. Please don't look down on me for being old when the time comes."

"How could that be? I'll take my leave then, Feng."

This time, Hayami Yu called her name directly and gave her one last gentle smile. After these words came out, tears gradually welled up in Feng's eyes, because this was like a gift before parting.

She wanted to hear it, but she didn't want to hear it at this time, because if she heard it, it would mean that they would never have the chance to meet again in the future.

"See you……"

But despite this, Feng still chose to watch Hayami Yu leave with a smile.

……

……

After Hayami Yu left, as time passed, Feng gradually reached the same age as Kikyo when she was alive.

Now she is eighteen years old. She is tall and beautiful, and her figure is as well-proportioned as her sister's.

Although she is still a little inferior to her sister, her every move, her long black hair, the way she wears a shrine maiden's costume, and the way she draws the bow and shoots the arrow are all very similar to Kikyo of that time.

Naturally, she had many admirers, but she rejected them all.

Because in her mind, there is always a man named Hayami Yu.

She did not forget that this was the man her sister liked, and she was also aware that they were together, but she had to admit that on the day this man left, she found herself falling in love with him.

But they will not meet until fifty years later. By then, she will no longer have the qualifications or the capital to like this man.

When Feng, who was sitting on the lawn, thought of this, she hugged her legs and cried, missing her sister and Hayami Yu.

After all, I finally found someone I like, but why, why is she already old before anything even starts?

116 Reunion with Kikyo

Fifty years ago from the Warring States Period, Hayami Yu returned to the present day.

The place where he sat was in Kagome Higurashi's room, which was slightly shifted from before, probably because he was a little farther away from the Bone-Eating Well this time.

However, due to the speed of time, modern time has not passed very long.

Adding it all up, Hayami Yu spent a little more than a month in the Warring States Period, which means that about five or six hours of modern time had passed.

Kagome Higurashi was doing her homework in the room at this time, but the sudden appearance of Kirimono and Hayami Yuu in front of her made her put down the pen in her hand.

"Hayato, have you found the answer?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Higurashi Kagome asked tentatively. Hayami Yushin heard him take a breath. Although he accepted it all, he was still a little sad.

After all, he went back with the intention of changing the future.

But in the end, because I went back, I ended up creating this future.

"found it……"

Hayami Yu nodded and didn't say much. She just sat quietly opposite Higurashi Kagome. When Higurashi Kagome saw this scene, she understood what Hayami Yu had experienced. After all, she had this part of the memory.

Kikyo was killed by a monster, and Hayami Yu arrived one step too late, and in the end he could only watch his beloved leave the world.

The pain of watching the beloved woman leave this world with her own eyes is indescribable. Even if it was Kagome Higurashi, she would have a mental breakdown.

Thinking of this, Kagome Higurashi immediately stood up and walked to Hayami Yu, then hugged him in her arms, holding him close to her chest and said.

"Haya, it's all over, but the end is also the beginning. Look, Kikyo was resurrected fifty years later. You two can still be together, right?"

Kagome Higurashi smiled and comforted her. Hayami Yuu had also thought about this matter, but this matter was this matter. It was true that Kikyo died in his arms. Although he was promiscuous, his feelings for every woman were real. Since it was true, he naturally could not treat this matter as if it had never happened.

"Kagome, thank you."

However, it is time to cheer up and be cheerful. Just as Kikyo said before, they will not be separated after reuniting. Therefore, it is time for him to meet Kikyo fifty years later.

"You're welcome. After all, you're my master... er, lover? Not quite... Let's talk about this later. Anyway, there's no need to thank me for seeing you earlier."

Kagome Higurashi blushed slightly and said shyly that although it was true that Hayami Yu was the master, how could she put it? As a woman of the 21st century, she was not a maid in a maid restaurant, so how could the master say such words?

As for her lover, that was even harder to say. It wasn't that she didn't want to agree to Hayami Yu's request, but he was already with Kikyo, so what would it mean if he was still with her?

In short, Kagome Higurashi didn't quite understand this matter, and didn't know what Hayami Yu would do.

Although she has decided to be with Hayami Yu, she doesn't know what to do until this matter is resolved, so she plans to find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Kikyo.

"Well, I see."

Seeing Kagome Higurashi looking shy, Hayami Yuu couldn't help but smile, and the depression in his heart was slightly relieved.

"By the way, Morning, have you eaten yet? If not, why don't you eat with us later? Also, how about staying here today?"

Seeing a smile on Hayami Yu's face, Higurashi Kagome quickly said, Hayami Yu thought about it and nodded and agreed to this matter because he still had to go back.

"no problem."

"Then I'll go tell them and bring you a cup of tea."

Kagome Higurashi immediately went out to tell her mother and grandfather. When she came back, she had a pot of tea and some cakes in her hands. Hayami Yu looked at these cakes and thought of what he had promised Kikyo. However, since things had come to this point, he could only fulfill his promise to Kikyo fifty years later.

Thinking of this, Hayami Yu immediately took a bite of the pastry. Higurashi Kagome kept looking at Hayami Yu and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him eat it.

She knew about the agreement between Hayami Yu and Kikyo. After Hayami Yu left, she took the time to recall those things and knew about the agreement between them. Now that he chose to eat it, it can be said that he has completely let go of this matter, right?

Soon, the dinner party at the Higurashi family began.

After Hayami Yu and Higurashi Kagome sat down, Higurashi Liye kindly picked up some food for Hayami Yu.

"Hayato, eat more. You just came back, so you must be not used to the food of the Warring States Period, right?"

"It's okay, but thank you, Auntie."

Hayami Yu said with a smile, and then enjoyed dinner elegantly, but it seemed that because Kagome Higurashi told her that she was in a bad mood, they were very concerned about her.

After dinner, Hayami Yu took a shower as arranged and then went to the guest room to rest.

"Hayato, are we going to the Warring States Period tomorrow, or should we just take a rest?"

Before leaving, Higurashi Kagome asked, and Hayami Yuu thought about it before speaking.

"Rest. There's no point in worrying anyway."

"Okay, then I'll go to school tomorrow," said Kagome Higurashi.

"Yeah, no problem. I'll call you before we leave next time."

Hayami Yu nodded in agreement. After getting the answer, Kagome Higurashi nodded again and prepared to leave. However, before leaving completely, she stopped and looked back at Hayami Yu, then said with a slightly blushing face and some embarrassment.

"Haya, even though you've just been through this, I know now isn't the time to say this. After all, your feelings for Kikyo are definitely deeper than I thought. But I still want to say one thing to you. No matter what, at least you still have me."

After saying that, Kagome Higurashi walked over with a blushing face, and gently touched Hayami Yu's lips, then left with a blushing face.

"Rest early and have a good sleep."

Hayami Yu watched her leave and felt quite happy in his heart, because Kagome Higurashi's initiative was somewhat beyond his expectations.

By doing this, she also meant that she had completely accepted the fact that he was in love with her, but perhaps because the current situation was rather complicated, Kagome Higurashi did not say it verbally.

However, Hayami Yu did not plan to go to bed now. After returning to the room, he immediately used the world anchor to go to the Warring States Period. After all, Hayami Yu already understood everything, so he now wanted to find Kikyo.
