I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Master...Master..."

"Don't move, this dress is really hard to wear... Who on earth designed something so hard to wear? And how could it still be worn today?"

Guiyi Fayan stood behind Sara, tying Sara's belt while frowning and complaining.

“Well…alright!”

After the last step was completed, Gui Yi Fa Yan couldn't wait to admire his own achievements, and trotted to the front of Sara.

"Oh!"

The scene that appeared before his eyes made Gui Yifa's eyes light up.

Her long, silky hair like a waterfall fell naturally from the back of her shoulders to over her shoulders. Sara lowered her eyes, and the blush on her face spread all the way to her ears. She was wearing a kimono with purple as the main color. The pattern on the kimono was a bunch of deep and beautiful jacaranda flowers. A pure white silk scarf was wrapped around her neck, hanging from her shoulders to below her waist.

"Isn't it a little strange that I look like this?"

Sara's fingers were nervously crossed in front of his abdomen, his voice was soft, and he was a little afraid to look up at Gui Yifayan's eyes.

"Nonsense!" Gui Yi Fa Yan was displeased when he heard this and quickly gave a thumbs up and praised, "I think it's absolutely perfect! I think you are very suitable for wearing a kimono, Sara."

"Eh, eh, eh? That... um..." Sara's eyes were a little flustered. He raised his hands with his fingers crossed, covering half of his face, and said a little embarrassedly: "Since it's a compliment from the master, then... then it should be like that, right? It really makes me happy..."

Even though her figure is still very young, Sara already has a mature temperament when she puts on the kimono. Guiyi Fayan's evaluation is not at all disingenuous. Sara is indeed very suitable for wearing kimono. The term "kimono beauty" is simply a perfect fit for her posture.

"only……"

Sara raised her hand, and her long sleeves swayed slightly with her movements. There was a hint of complexity in Sara's eyes.

"This...it's so inconvenient to move."

"This isn't a battle suit, it's more like formal wear. Can you please stop putting combat convenience first?" Gui Yi Fa Yan warned. "When you put on clothes, you wonder if they'll affect your movements. When you admire the scenery, you wonder if they're suitable for an ambush. When you buy something, you wonder if it can be used as a weapon... You're missing out on a lot of fun this way."

"But...if something really happens, this dress will really have an impact."

With a red face, Sha Luo tugged at her sleeves and then touched her waist.

"Besides, the material is top quality... I always feel like it would be a bit of a waste if I wore it..."

"You're worrying about nothing." Gui Yi Fa Yan folded his arms over his chest and said, "New clothes are the norm for the New Year. If you're forced to wear shoddy, wouldn't that be embarrassing for us? You can't even afford to buy new clothes for your beloved disciple."

"By the way, your two junior brothers also have new clothes."

After all, you can't appear too partial. Whether you are a master or a leader, you must understand the principle of treating everyone equally.

A kimono was prepared for Sara, and two haori were prepared for Arataki Ichito and Goro. After all, the fluttering feeling of the haori is quite cool, isn’t it?

Well, maybe she was influenced by Okita Souji, anyway, she thought the haori was pretty cool, and both the white and sky blue ones were pretty good.

These kimonos and haori were not bought by Guiyi Hōgen outside, but were made by her own hands.

Although she is best at forging swords and armor, she has learned a lot as she has lived longer. She also knows skills such as making clothes, and with the help of magic, it is not difficult for her to do it.

There are still spells left by her on these kimonos and haori. The cleaning and purifying spells are the most basic. After all, Guiyi Fayan knows Arataki Ichito's noisy personality. If new clothes fall into Arataki Ichito's hands, they will definitely be dirty in no time. Then there are spells to increase the strength of the material and protect the owner.

Therefore, what Gui Yi Fa Yan gave to her three apprentices was not simply new clothes, but a magic gift costume.

Even though it does not bring any significant improvement to the combat power of the three people now, it is still a very convenient magic outfit.

Chapter 156: Sara's Intentions

"Come sit here and let me comb your hair."

In the middle of the room, Gui Yi Fa Yan sat cross-legged and patted the red cushion in front of her.

"Since you've got new clothes, how about a new hairstyle to match them?"

"This this……"

Sara covered his mouth and panicked a little, but he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and walked over in small steps.

"Since this is Master's decision... then... I apologize for my rudeness."

Sara adjusted his clothes, slowly knelt down on the cushion, turned his back to Gui Yi Fa Yan, and reached out to lift all his hair behind his head.

"If you weren't so respectful, I might be happier."

Said this in a joking tone, Gui Yi Fa Yan gently raised his hand, and a dark brown wooden comb on a small wooden table in the corner of the room floated up and flew into Gui Yi Fa Yan's hand.

"This is the only thing I would like to ask for your forgiveness for refusing."

The corners of Sara's mouth raised slightly. Although her voice was soft, it seemed to contain a will that would not waver even after going through many vicissitudes of life.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that you could even hear the sound of hair flowing through the gaps in the wooden comb.

"Before I met my master, my world was only this big..."

Sara's murmur did not break the peaceful atmosphere; she was just speaking calmly, and Guiyi Fayan was listening calmly.

"Master saved me from the brink of death, taught me skills, and guided me to grow..."

"I've truly gained so much from Master. I want to stay by his side and repay him for his kindness... but the amount of kindness I need to repay is actually growing."

"The memories I have with my master, every minute and every second, are my most cherished treasures... Every time I think of them, my heart feels warm, fulfilled... and happy."

"Master is different to me, irreplaceable... No, it's more than that... It's much more than that, much more..."

"Vast than the sky, deeper than the ocean, the weight of Master in my heart must be even greater... even greater..."

"All words, all descriptions, will seem mediocre in the face of this feeling."

"Master said that my future is still long and I will experience many things...meetings, separations, joys, sorrows, choices, regrets..."

"I will grow, I will change, I will become different from what I am now, but... I want to be like Qianhua, at least, I can protect myself and protect what is most important to me."

So what is the most important thing?

That’s enough. Sometimes... things don’t need to be said so clearly.

Because they both already know it well.

When living in this world, people must believe in something and stick to something... otherwise they will not be able to survive in this world.

"Okay, take a look for yourself and see if you're satisfied... Let's find you a mirror."

Gui Yifayan then discovered that there was no mirror in the room, so he waved his arm, and the next moment, a floor-length mirror made of water appeared in front of Sara, clearly reflecting Sara's figure.

Sara's long hair, which originally flowed like a waterfall, was tied up with a violet ribbon, revealing her smooth jade-like neck.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Sara felt a little unreal.

She tilted her head slightly and glanced at Gui Yifayan who was standing beside her.

"How about... growing your hair longer?"

"Hmm? Why?" Guiyi Fayan heard Sara's mumbling and tilted his head in confusion. "Didn't you say that long hair would be a hindrance on the battlefield, so you don't like to have long hair?"

Sara stared at Gui Yifa's eyes for a long time before looking away and looking at himself in the mirror again.

"It's just... I suddenly had this idea."

Sara reached out and touched her hair, but actually she wanted to hide her slightly hot cheeks and ears, as well as the faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

The haori prepared for Arataki Ichito and Goro was still quietly folded and placed on the table. The reason why it was placed here instead of being delivered directly to them was because...

"Haven't Ichito and Goro finished their training for today?"

Gui Yifayan lay on the ground very lazily, looking at Sara with half-open eyes.

"Master, even if you ask me, I don't know how to answer you."

Sala sighed helplessly and said, "After all, Master, you sent them both to a small world dedicated to training, right? No one besides Master should know what's going on inside, let alone me, your disciple."

In order to train Arataki Ichito and Goro, Guiyi Hōgan specially opened up a space.

The training content is also very simple, just run around this space fifty times... while being chased by a group of monsters created by Gui Yifa Yan.

Of course, if they could just eliminate all those monsters directly, they wouldn't have to run fifty laps. I remember that after she made this request, the stubborn Arawaki Ichito really went to challenge those monsters, completely ignoring Goro's reminder.

Not long after, Ara Taki Ichito was thrown out of the training space... It was not because he killed all the monsters, but on the contrary, he was almost killed by the monsters.

After that, Arataki Ichito and Goro obediently ran around the space fifty times.

As the number of laps increases, Gui Yi Fa Yan will appropriately increase the difficulty, such as setting up a hundred or eighty traps in the venue, and giving monsters some special abilities including but not limited to teleportation, search, and dragon breath.

"We're doing this for their own good. More blood now will save us tears later."

"...Why does this sound weird?"

Sha Luo's complaints were completely ignored by Gui Yi Fa Yan, who just turned over on the ground and took a look at the sky outside.

"Hmm...it's already this late? Fail, fail, if it were King Chana, they would have come out long ago... Never mind, just let them out. After all, there are other things to do later... This evening is going to be very busy."

"Is it really possible?"

Sara knew that Guiyi Fayan was very strict in training, so how could she leave school early?

To this, Gui Yi Fa Yan's answer is...

"It's okay. Just pay back the owed training twice as much tomorrow."

Hearing this, Sara felt relieved.

This is the master I know.

However, when he saw Gui Yifayan raise his hand, Sara still reminded him.

"Master, Ichito and Goro must be very dirty now, right? Isn't it a bad idea to let them directly into the house?"

When Gui Yifayan heard this, it seemed to make sense.

"Okay, let's go out and throw those two huskies outside. When they clean themselves up, let them back in... Forget it, let's just use our magic to solve it. It'll save trouble."

Chapter 157 Arawaki Ichito, who is afraid of beans

Some people may be curious, it seems that... Guiyi Fayan's attitude towards Sara is different from that towards the other two people.

Gui Yifayan would not deny that the treatment was somewhat different.

Part of the reason is that Sara is a girl, while Aratake Ichito and Goro are strong boys.

There is another reason, which is that Sara has followed her for a long time. During this period of time, Sara was Guiyi Fayan's only disciple. The one-on-one teaching allowed Guiyi Fayan to make a very detailed training plan.

Before, Guiyi Fayan would even take Sara out for training, which led to everything that happened between the two of them in the sealed space. But as for Goro and Arawaki's fight, Guiyi Fayan was no longer as concerned about Sara as he was about Sara.

This is because the number of disciples suddenly increased to three times the original number, and the original one-on-one teaching method was no longer suitable. In addition, the teaching progress of Goro and Arataki Ichito was far behind that of Sara, and they were not suitable to be taught together.

Teach Arataki Ikto and Goro something every day, then throw them into the training space to run laps to let them consolidate what they learned today. This is the same as assigning homework after a day of class. It is rough but effective. However, Sara, who has been learning from Guiyi Hōgan for some time, does not need this kind of rough training.

After this stage is over, Goro will have to study with Sara... because in Guiyi Hōgen's expectation, Sara and Goro should take similar paths, that is, to practice both military tactics and combat, so the content of Goro's training in the next stage will have to start focusing on military tactics.

However, with the guidance of senior sister Sara, Goro should be faster in this regard than Sara was before.

As for Huang Long Yidou, it’s easy. As long as you don’t die from training, then train until you die!

As soon as he entered the door, Gui Yifa saw Wu Lang holding his tail tightly.

"Why are you holding onto your tail so tightly, Goro? Are you obsessed with the feel of your tail?" Guiyi Fayan asked in confusion, "If someone becomes obsessed with their own face or body, they're usually considered narcissistic. You're probably in the same boat, right?"

"No, no, no! Master, you misunderstood!"

Wu Lang blushed and waved his hands hurriedly, saying, "I, I, I... I just felt... uh... well... Master's magic is really powerful. In an instant, my body became clean, and even my tail became fluffy... Because I always had to spend a lot of time to groom my tail..."

Sala, who was behind Gui Yifayan, poked his head out and asked curiously, "Junior brother, can't you fold your tail? I can fold my wings."

As a member of the Tengu clan, Sara has two pairs of black wings, but she seems to like and envy Gui Yi Fa Yan's pure white wings like clouds more. Every time Gui Yi Fa Yan spreads his wings, Sara can't take her eyes off him. Although Sara has two pairs of wings, they are much smaller than Gui Yi Fa Yan's.

Normally, the sara keeps its wings folded up, which does not affect the wearing of clothes at all.

"No... I think my tail and your wings should be completely different, senior sister." Wu Lang answered with a strange look on his face.

To be honest, he also envied his senior sister, whose wings could be retracted and extended at any time. Although his tail felt very good, it was really uncomfortable when it rained. After getting wet, he had to spend time and effort to dry it, and then he had to take care of it...

He also suspected that the wings of his master and senior sister were not real objects but elemental creations. After all, when Sara spread his wings, purple lightning would flash on the falling black feathers, and if the wings were spread when using elemental power, the power would also increase.

However, Sara's wings can be touched, and now Sara can use the wings for simple flight, not to mention Guiyi Fayan, which can achieve supersonic flight by gently flapping its wings.

"Besides, Senior Sister, you see, Senior Brother Yidou has never folded up his horns, right? So I think it's normal that his tail... and ears can't be folded up."

Kiichi Hōgan and Sara can fold their wings, and in the end they can only be regarded as the privileges of the monster Tengu.

Because of the mention of Aragaki Ichido, Sara suddenly thought of it.

"Where did Ichito go?"
