Gentleman's Night Canteen

Did Blue Dream fail?

No, she still remembers Lan Meng's confident expression when she entered the door.

So is it her fault?

In fact, I thought about the reason after the fact that I was "successful" last time.

The reason why the "general" was directly recruited and triggered the "emergency mechanism" she left behind to wake her up from the pure land of one heart is probably because the other party has no feelings. A lot of unfamiliar codes are suddenly inserted into the computer, even if the codes themselves have no problems, they still cause it to crash directly. Simply put, it is a 'BUG'.

And because she was too confident and took the initiative to let go of her defenses, she was reminded of the most important memory deep in her memory.

Although this is also her purpose, to strengthen her heart through these memories and continue to pursue 'eternity'.

But maybe it was because the last reaction was really embarrassing, so her rationality made her instinctively resist letting go of her heart.

Do you want to try again?

While thinking about Ying in this way, she tried to calm down and moved a certain little fox who liked to make trouble out of sight, and then she took another bite.

Unlike before when Lan Meng would "massage" the meat in advance when making barbecue, this time in order to ensure the taste of the tail meat itself, Lan Meng didn't even process the meat too much, and even the deodorization was done through cooking techniques during the cooking process Treat it like Thor did when he made the tail meat earlier.

However, through the insulation of the three layers of materials, leaves, spices, and leaves, even if it is baked on a high fire, it can reach the high temperature brought by the flame, engulfing the spices and continuously penetrating into the meat, which also makes even the innermost layer of the meat still heated. Even and very soft.

Compared with the whole body, the amount of tail meat is very small, but it is different from the chewiness of tendon meat, and also different from the sweetness of streaky meat. Even tenderloin has a soft and tender taste that is incomparable. Fascinating place.

Although even in the absence of other people, Ying still maintained the basic dining etiquette, but the speed was unknowingly accelerated by two points.While eating, she unconsciously became interested in several other dishes.

As for the dumpling milk placed aside alone, although she didn't recognize what it was, she guessed it should be a drink, and more importantly, the slightly heated dumpling milk gave off a faint milky and sweet fragrance , which undoubtedly hit her preferences.

Although the subordinates always felt that she was more suitable for 'tea', as expected, she still preferred sweet drinks, so she decided to taste it later and turned her attention to the soba noodles.

Compared with the wild appearance, you can tell at a glance that only the king of appetite can solve the stick bone barbecue. This kind of cuisine is not the same as Inazuma's style of painting.

She has eaten buckwheat noodles many times, whether it is normal boiled noodles or the same cold noodles as today, she has eaten more than once, but it is precisely because of this that she is more curious about what new tricks Lan Meng will come up with.

Although the presentation is pretty, she cares more about the taste and effect.

With a strong curiosity, Ying picked up a cluster of soba noodles and put them in her mouth. It was only the first bite that Ying's eyes lit up, because she found that the pink sauce that matched the soba noodles was actually sweet.

Because of the rough taste of soba noodles, the general sauce is to use something that goes with the rice, such as pickled side dishes, or spicy things.

But he made the opposite choice, but chose the right target.

The extremely sweet Ying not only didn't feel strange at all, even his expression softened a bit.

The soba noodles made by Lanmeng are not only more chewy than ordinary soba noodles, but also do not lose the special flavor of soba noodles. It is served with your favorite sweet sauce, whether it is completely different from ordinary sugar and honey. Sweetness, or a special taste is enough to satisfy Ying.

But what is even more satisfying is that while eating the soba noodles, she felt something throbbing in her chest...

Coincidentally, at this moment, a gust of wind blew in with the cherry blossoms outside the window, and under the breeze with a faint floral fragrance, Ying, who had deliberately closed her eyes and relaxed her heart, felt that the faint fragrance seemed to be very familiar ...

Just like hundreds of years ago.

It was very strange when the familiar thunder cherry tree appeared in front of her eyes. She did not forget everything like others. She could clearly feel that everything in front of her was a picture in her fantasy, but looking at this familiar The scenery, but she is unconsciously intoxicated by it and does not want to wake up.

But at this moment—————

"film?"

A gentle call made Ying, who was standing in the rain of cherry blossoms, tremble suddenly.

This voice is so familiar, but so strange.

Familiarity is because the other party's voice is the same as your own, while unfamiliarity is because the voice has not been heard for hundreds of years.

"elder sister……?"

Shadow trembled and called out the title that had not been uttered for hundreds of years.

But what she didn't expect was that the woman with a gentle smile tilted her head and showed a somewhat puzzled expression, as if she didn't quite understand why her sister was so strange.

Looking at the other party's reaction that was almost exactly the same as her own impression, Ying's rationality kept reminding her that "her sister had already died in that battle for hundreds of years", but she unconsciously opened her arms to hold the other party's body. Take it into your arms.

Suddenly being hugged by someone, the real body in gorgeous clothes stiffened instinctively, but then he hugged Ying with his backhand and gently stroked the other's head with a gentle smile on his face, just like in the past...

Chapter 12 Dreams and Reality

Truth and shadow, or more accurately, 'Baal' and 'Baalzeb' are a pair of twin demon gods that are extremely rare among demon gods. All the evil gods raging in Daozu's territory were expelled.

Of the two, the stronger sister 'Balzeb' undoubtedly played a greater role in this war. Afterwards, the elder sister 'Bal' also expressed the hope that the other party could serve as their leader who unknowingly protects humans and monsters. .

But the younger sister 'Balzeb' said that she was only good at wielding knives, not good at commanding subordinates and governing the territory, so she was more suitable than being an older sister, so she took the initiative to give up the position of leader to her older sister, and she herself It also turned into a shadow dancer as the opponent's weapon and silently guarded the opponent's side.

Because although the strength of the two sisters is quite different, there are many similarities in their attack methods. In addition, the appearance of the two is very similar, and after the war, Ying deliberately hides his own existence, so except for a very few people who are familiar with the two No one else knows about Shadow's existence.

In the beginning, when the two hadn't won the name of "Thunder God", people often referred to "Balzebu" as "the leader".

In the hearts of people at that time, the other party was a very gentle person. He not only sheltered the weak in the extremely harsh environment and gave them a place to live, but also taught them how to survive better.

At first, she sheltered these people only because she was really kind. She didn't want to see those ordinary people die in the wilderness, but as the name of the other party became more and more popular, more and more people gathered around the other party. 'After the end, countless villages appeared in the opponent's nominal territory.

Unlike the true kindness, Ying, who is the younger sister of the other party, is a pure warrior. Compared with reading those troublesome words, she prefers to directly wave the weapon in her hand and defeat the remaining monsters under the command of her own sister. , and defeat those monsters who do not want to surrender.

During this period, she even met several like-minded monsters.

For her, she stays at home to practice martial arts when she has nothing to do. When her sister needs her help, she goes out to fight against the enemy while verifying her martial arts. Occasionally, she will have powerful friends to "make friends with martial arts". What she hopes, if she can, she hopes to continue like this.

But the world obviously won't be changed by someone's will.

Under Zhen's leadership and Ying's conquest, the monsters in Daozuma's territory surrendered one after another, and the monsters were completely defeated, most of them were wiped out, and the only lucky ones hid in the deep mountains and did not dare to show up easily , At the same time, a city named 'Inazuma Castle' also sprang up where the original village was located.

It can be said that everything is thriving.

But at this time, an accident happened suddenly. This is a special period submerged in history, even historians know little about it, and this period is what people often say' The Calamity of Karriya', even those who experienced it were largely silent about it.

For Ying, this is the memory she least wants to recall, and it is also the beginning of the tragedy in her life.

But the elder sister with a gentle smile in front of her eyes made her a little dazed unconsciously.

Could it be that everything after that was just a nightmare?

A nightmare that lasted for hundreds of years?

Ying, who gradually emptied her mind, no longer wanted to think about it, she just simply enjoyed her sister's gentle embrace.

But the other party could not help but chuckle after comforting Ying for a while.

"Okay, how old are you, don't act like a baby? If you continue like this, 'Zhai Gong', she will probably laugh at you again."

Hearing the name suddenly mentioned by his sister, Ying's body trembled unconsciously.

"Sai Palace?"

"That's right, she seems to have discovered a delicious dessert in Zhai Gong today, so I hope you can try it..."

Almost at the same time as he really spoke, a somewhat frivolous female voice suddenly came.

"That's right, but I'm really lucky~ I was just curious why you guys haven't come yet, but I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene~ Shadow, you are so cute~~"

A white shadow appeared from behind the tree at some point, and the other party's cynical and teasing expression made it hard to imagine that the other party was actually the "Tianhu" who was known as the "Guardian of Narugami Island" in Shinyokage. .

It's just that without waiting for her to continue teasing Ying, he turned around and embraced the real Ying when he was holding the real Ying.

And her reaction seemed to be more exaggerated than the truth, she froze there with her mouth wide open in a look of bewilderment, it is obvious that this woman whom Yae Miko privately complained about as "Narakami Island's merciless arsonist" is not As cynical as she looks.

Even when she tried to ease the embarrassment with teasing words like before, she couldn't say it at all for some reason. After all, this was the first time she saw the other party show such a 'weak' expression.

In the impression of Huzhai Palace, Ying is a pure martial idiot, and she was also the type of person she hated the most. After all, this kind of person is full of thoughts about fighting, which is really boring. When she was first challenged by Ying, she was even more capable. She hides and hides, but as Zhendaiying negotiates with the monsters she leads and the two sides form an alliance, she gradually understands the other side of the other side as the two parties interact.

There is something natural in daily life. Unlike the other party's sister, Zhen always smiles when she flirts with her, which makes her feel that she has nowhere to start, but Ying always responds to her flirts seriously, and is a bit serious. cute.

But whether it's the coldness in battle, or the tranquility when getting along with friends and family, or the gluttony when facing sweets, the other party has never revealed his soft side, but now the other party is not hiding it Show all this in front of yourself.

"You are really cunning... Okay~ okay~ Don't be sad~ Otherwise, everyone will probably think that I am bullying you again..."

Obviously very good at talking to people and talking nonsense, but at this time, Huzhai Palace felt that he was a little short of words, and he didn't even know how to appease Ying.

But maybe because of Shinwakage's rare lateness, and the delay in returning to Hosai Palace to greet each other, Sasauri and Mikoshiyo, who were taking a nap under the thunder cherry tree, came over unconsciously.

At a glance, the two saw Huzhai Palace being held by Ying and the slightly red corners of Ying's eyes.

They looked straight at Huzhai Palace without the slightest hesitation. Although they didn't say a word, the meaning was already obvious.

'Did you do something? '

Facing the scrutiny of the two, Hu Zhai Palace always felt very delicate.

In fact, it's not the first time that she has used her character to play pranks on Ying, even just now she secretly hid the other party's favorite snacks, but at least this time she really hasn't done anything! !

A certain fox, who has no credibility outside of business because of frequent pranks, couldn't help but let out a helpless cry...

Chapter 13 If only time could stop here...

Because of the poor reputation of a certain fox lady, Sasauri and Mikoshiyo didn't believe the other party's explanation of "I haven't done anything yet" at all. I reported it.

The helpless Huzhai Palace naturally tried to justify.

After a successful prank is discovered, not only will she not feel the slightest guilt, but she will hold her head up proudly, but the problem is that she really didn't do anything today, so she can only look aside for help Thor sisters.

However, the shadow at this time is still immersed in memories, as for the truth?

At this time, the other party was looking at everyone with a smile on his face, but he didn't know whether the other party was naturally dumb or naturally dark...

Seeing the companions who surrounded him bickering with each other, Ying couldn't help but burst into a smile, but there was an indescribable sadness in that smile.

It would be great if... time could stop here.

Regarding this gathering, she still remembers it vividly even now, because it was the last time that everyone gathered here, under the thunder cherry tree.

Sasauri, who always looked at everyone with a gentle smile, was the first to sacrifice in the battle with the "snake god". Angrily, she slashed the strongest sword at that time because of the opponent's sacrifice, and even slashed directly. 'Wonderless Blade Narrow Room', but if she had a choice, she would rather not cut that sword;

Later, my sister went to Kanria alone for some reason, and the first film did not follow, but it was precisely because of this that led to the final tragedy. When she felt bad and rushed to Kanria, she only had time to see her seriously injured sister, but in the end Still unable to save the other party, the other party finally passed away after passing on his sword and the position of Thor to her;

And it was at the same time when Zhen and Ying left Narugami Island that the "dark disaster" came, some of the affected monsters took the opportunity to attack Narugami Island, and Narugami Island, which lost the two sisters Zhen and Ying, faced the swarming crowd. The "disaster" that came was almost desperate, and it was at this time that the usually cynical Husai Palace fought against the dark disaster alone to protect Narugami Island until it was finally swallowed, but it was precisely because of the other party's sacrifice The black calamity did not break through the enchantment set up by the other party. It can be said that the other party guarded this land with his own life;

Because of the death of her best friend and sister, Ying became more ruthless in battle. This is also the beginning of "Thor gradually becoming more majestic" in the memory of ordinary people, but what Ying did not expect is that even if she tried her best, she could not hold it. The person I wish to protect.

At the end of this "disaster" that lasted for an unknown number of years, there was only Torachiyo left beside Tokage, but she never dreamed that even Torachiyo would eventually go crazy because of the battle with the disaster during the war. After a big battle, he chose to leave voluntarily, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

In the originally lively Narujin Taisha Shrine, only she and Yae Kamiko, a member of the Husai Palace clan, were left behind.

Why is she paranoid in pursuit of 'eternity'?

It's very simple, because in her opinion, only by pursuing "eternity" can she protect this land forever.

This piece of land guarded by her family and friends with their lives and blood, she hopes to protect her forever no matter what she does.

The unforgettable memory and the obsession born to protect this land for hundreds of thousands of years made her clearly realize that everything in front of her was just an illusion.

But even so, she was still happy to see them goodbye from the bottom of her heart.

And since everything in front of me is just a dream, then I can act like a baby after a long time... right?

Ying, who has been stuck with her sister for a long time, can't help but think like this...

Lan Meng has the ability to "emotionally resonate" through cooking, but in the final analysis, this ability is also a kind of spiritual power. People with enough tenacity can even ignore it directly, just like the original shadow, even after voluntarily giving up. The memory deep in the heart also makes the recruiter realize that all this is just an illusion.

But for Ying, isn't that what she needs?

In order to pursue eternity, she even used the taboo knowledge she obtained in the "disaster period" to transform her body into the strongest "puppet" in the world, and at the same time sink her spirit into the "one heart pure land" to meditate Slow down the erosion of time on the soul.

But it is precisely because of this that she found that even if her soul has not been eroded, she has maintained a state of "no thought and no heart" for a long time, and her mental activity has undoubtedly undergone subtle changes from hundreds of years ago, although these changes are very subtle , but in her opinion, this is her 'wear and tear' in front of time.

But it was at this time that she discovered Lan Meng.

This cooking awakened my own skills, and made my heart, which was too calm because of being in the 'sage state' for a long time, beat violently again.

So she hopes to use Lan Meng's cooking to keep her spirit active. There is no doubt that her plan has succeeded. Lan Meng's ability has indeed helped her wake up the memories of the past. All reproduced in general again.

And when Ying was immersed in memory, Yae Kamito, who was thrown aside by the opponent on the other side, finally recovered after resting for a while.

However, she didn't take the opportunity to 'revenge' the other party and interrupt the other party's attempt... even though she did not support the other party's pursuit of the so-called 'eternity'.

Because she knows all the sacrifices the other party has made for this better than anyone else.

She just lay quietly on the side and watched the changes in the shadow silently.

Soon, she finally saw what she expected to see.

With the long chopsticks in the shadow hand waving, the food on the table became less and less, and the movements in the shadow hand gradually slowed down, and at the same time, the eyes seemed to become blurred, which was exactly the same as Jiujo's reaction when he finished eating the barbecue.

Unsurprisingly, the other party should be able to awaken his own memory soon.

She still remembers the first time she completely let go of what she saw.

That is the memory of the great war hundreds of years ago. Kagerenfan fought several demon gods affected by the "dark calamity" and had no time to take care of the main island of Narugami Island. The army of "disaster" tried to take the opportunity to capture Narugami Island , At that time, as the "Minister of Narugami Taisha", Hu Zhaigong decided to support the enchantment alone to meet the "disaster" and waited for the memory of the last time he summoned himself before the shadow came back to help.
