Zuo Cun sat there, answering the questions of the person in front of him with dull eyes.
"Ahaha..."
"If it's a fight, I won't regret it..."
He struggled to sit up.
"What I regret... is that I was too powerless at the last moment and actually let that guy go..."
Ashiya Michimitsu.
The man Zuo Cun wanted to kill escaped after all.
Zuo Cun's mission failed. He failed to kill the man who could be said to have caused all the chaos in Xiazong.
The magician, that guy is just a cover in the final analysis. There is only one malignant existence from beginning to end.
That is the so-called existence of evil...Michimit Ashiya.
In the final fight, although Ashiya Michitoshi seemed to still have full strength, he was still almost killed when facing Samura, who was already determined to die.
His body, which was almost cut into two pieces, found a way to escape from Zuocun's inherent barrier in a panic, and then - in this world, his breath could no longer be found.
"It's really...useless."
Zuo Cun said subconsciously.
"Mr. Samura, you are not useless."
The person in front of Zuo Cun sighed softly, and actually stretched out his hand and touched Zuo Cun's head.
Zuocun's eyes finally showed some brightness, and he could clearly see the appearance of the person in front of him.
He couldn't help but smile.
"Shuna...it's you..."
"The one who said goodbye to me in the end was actually you...?"
There is very little [life] left in the spiritual base, and what should be forgotten has been... almost all forgotten, right?
Ahhh...
My life, everything about me, what is left...?
"Mr. Samura, don't worry, even if you forget Souna, Souna will never forget you."
Ezuna smiled and looked up at Zuo Cun.
"However, Mr. Samura, even if you forget about Souna, it's still not time for you to rest."
"Don't forget, you also promised others something."
"Mr. Samura, you can't rest until you finish that matter."
"Although it's a bit reluctant...but you have to survive."
Ezuna said with some regret.
Obviously - I have spent my life fighting until I lost everything, but I still can't rest.
This is...
【Promise】Ah.
"Those two children..."
Zuocun's eyes widened slightly.
"Having said that, there is indeed such a thing..."
"By this time, Ritsuka and the others should have returned to Chaldea... It's a pity that they didn't have time to say goodbye."
"But...it doesn't matter. With Lawrence over there, nothing will happen..."
Zuo Cun subconsciously showed a smile.
He raised his head and looked at Zunai and his daughter with some reluctance.
He understood that his [life] was gone. After bidding farewell to Souna, what he remembered in his mind might only be the things he experienced in this singularity and the most basic knowledge.
"So... Mr. Samura, Soina is leaving?"
Souna reluctantly took Samura's hand, but——
Let go again.
She closed her eyes, turned into a part of the yellow sand, and disappeared without a trace.
Zuo Cun stretched out his hand as if to retain him——
But he didn't even catch the sand.
".......ah."
He opened his eyes.
Ga——Gah——Gah————
The crow of the crow rang in Zuo Cun's ears.
A three-legged crow was stepping on Zuo Cun's head and pecked Zuo Cun's hair with its black beak.
"You guy, why did you come to a place like this alone? You were unconscious all the time before!"
"Master Fujimaru Ritsuka has left, but the two children are very worried about you."
Such a voice came.
It's Xiaoyu.
That guy with animal ears on his head, but no one realized that something wasn't right.
Zuo Cun was lying on the ground, looking at the sky, and opened his mouth, as if he had no energy to speak.
"Hmm...what's going on with you guy? Xiaoyu, I always feel like you're a little weird..."
Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then approached Zuocun and said with some doubts.
"I felt it before but never said it because there were other people around, but now it's just the two of us... and this strange bird..."
"Uh huh..."
The tail behind Xiaoyu's butt was wagging uneasily.
Would this bird actually stop next to a human being?
This guy...
Could it be possible that he also has fox ears?
It doesn't look like it...
Thinking about it, Xiaoyu took action directly and grabbed Zuocun's ear.
"Don't touch..."
Zuo Cun weakly raised his hand and slapped Xiaoyu's hand away.
"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with just touching it, right? There's some smell on your body that interests Xiaoyu."
"Is it possible that you have something to do with Xiaoyu's tail?"
Xiaoyu said, squatting down with a sharp and curious expression in her eyes.
"I don't understand...what are you talking about."
Zuocun shook his head.
Xiaoyu licked her lips.
Unlike Kiyohime, who won't grow into a youkai, Tama...that is, Tamamo-mae, actually retains a certain level of cognition no matter which world she is in.
In other words, the Xiaodama in front of me knows that she is [Tamamo-mae].
The ears and tail perfectly prove this point. They usually just use some blinding methods to prevent people from noticing the ears and tail.
So.
Who is Tamamo Mae's clone?
Ga——
The three-legged crow cawed, looked at Zuocun lying on the ground, and then at Tamamo-mae. Finally, he no longer missed this place, and flew away with his wings.
"Ah, he's gone."
Xiaoyu raised her head and watched Yatagarasu fly away.
Zuocun didn't know what happened, he was still lying on the ground, looking like he wanted to sleep again.
"I'm really impressed with you, get up now, you guy!"
"Don't forget that you promised that old man to take care of those two children! Princess, you don't have much time in this world, so don't cause trouble to others!"
Xiaoyu sighed, ignoring her strange feelings, and directly pulled the weak Zuocun up from the ground with some force.
"I understand, I understand..."
"I will take care of those two children..."
Zuo Cun stood up with his own strength and finally showed a smile.
...that's fine too.
"I remember, that kid Azuo seemed to want to become a samurai, right? A samurai like Musashi."
"Then, let her inherit my Hundred Birds Style."
The swordsman who lost everything said with a smile.
