Although she was a little unsteady on her feet, Linghua still walked step by step to Mu Xian.
Mu Xian held the broken wooden knife in his hand.
Before Bu Yanshan could be taken away, Linghua broke the blade of the wooden sword.
Linghua laughed.
It's no longer that subtle smile, no longer that polite smile.
This was the first time she had laughed from the bottom of her heart.
"Mu Xianjun, you've lost."
Chapter 204 It's all over
Linghua's smile was one that Mu Xian had never seen before, and only then did Mu Xian realize that she could smile like that.
but...
Her smile was somewhat premature and overconfident.
Mu Xian held the wooden knife horizontally in front of him.
Compared to the previous complete wooden knife, it was noticeably shorter.
However... she didn't seem to notice anything amiss.
A fluorescent green light swirled across the blade of the wooden sword, then vanished in an instant.
The vanishing light changed the appearance of the wooden sword.
The wooden sword was tattered and worn, with marks from the blade all over its surface.
However... it is still intact and has not been severed by the "unspoken goodness".
The sword being severed was merely a small illusion, an illusion originating from the Great Compassion Tree King of the World Tree.
Looking away from the wooden sword, Mu Xian saw the smile of the girl in front of him.
Her smile had frozen, and the corners of her mouth, once brimming with girlish joy, were now frozen.
Not just the corners of the mouth, but also the eyes...
The smile slowly turned into confusion, and confusion took over Linghua's mind and body.
Unable to believe it, she wanted to confirm the wooden knife in Mu Xian's hand, so she took a step forward.
But Ayaka forgot to use the strength to support her body during that step, and she fell to the ground.
The pain in her knees seemed to be telling Ayaka that this was reality, but Ayaka bit her lip tightly, wanting to wake up from this dream.
—Will you wake up?
—Why...why isn't this a dream?!
In Linghua's sight, Mu Xian lowered the wooden sword in his hand and walked towards Linghua step by step.
During this time, Ayaka had been hoping that Mu Xianjun would get closer to her like this.
But... it shouldn't be like this.
"I won't go easy on you like I used to."
Mu Xian spoke, then crouched down, looking directly at Ling Hua: "I will not lose to someone who is distracted during battle."
His tone was casual, as if he had already anticipated the outcome of the battle.
Even though Ayaka finds this outcome hard to accept.
At this moment, Ayaka truly wanted to go back to the past.
No matter when...
No matter when...
If we could do it all over again...
Her slender, pale fingers gripped Mu Xian's arm, and the sudden force almost pulled Mu Xian towards her.
Mu Xian remained completely still, as if he had been prepared all along.
But... it doesn't matter.
Instead of pulling Mu Xian away, she lunged forward and hugged him.
The injured knee was bearing the weight of Ayaka's entire body, and the pain became increasingly pronounced.
But Linghua didn't care about any of that; she only felt Mu Xian prying her arms open.
She held on tighter and tighter... but Ayaka only tightened her grip.
"Mu Xianjun..."
The voice in Mu Xian's ear was like a girl's murmur in her dream, the murmur carrying a faint tremor.
"Mu Xianjun's body feels so warm..."
"Before, there were many opportunities to know..."
The tremor in his voice became increasingly noticeable.
"But...but why am I only finding out now..."
A chill seeped onto Mu Xian's shoulders, but it carried a hint of warmth.
Linghua longed to continue holding Mu Xian, but her arms, which were wrapped around Mu Xian's neck, were slowly pried open.
No matter how hard Ayaka tried, no matter...
"alright..."
With a calm tone that betrayed a hint of impatience, Mu Xian broke free from Ling Hua's embrace and stood up from the ground.
"Just like we agreed before, we will not interfere with each other anymore, and we will act as if we don't know each other."
"The years we've spent together can't be erased simply by saying we don't know each other anymore..."
The voice came from not far away, and the familiar voice made Linghua look in that direction.
There were two people standing in that direction.
Little Momoyo... and Ayato standing in front of Little Momoyo.
Linghua was not surprised by her brother's appearance; she knew she couldn't hide it from him for long.
To his surprise, his brother would say such a thing.
Ayato noticed Ayaka kneeling on the ground.
He first nodded to Linghua, then looked at Mu Xian in front of him.
Ayato's expression was complicated; he didn't know how to view the person before him who should have been dead...
"I should have known it was yours..."
"Weren't you the one who lured away the Inazuma soldiers with fireworks and stormed the castle tower?"
After hesitating for a long time, Ayato said, "I should have known that after going through so much, you are no longer the person you used to be."
Ayato's words did not elicit a response from Mokushi.
Ayato, who had been silent for a long time, did not speak again.
He had many questions he wanted to ask Mu Xian, but he didn't know what tone to use.
friend?
They probably can't be considered friends anymore.
enemy?
Having owed him so much, how could Ayato possibly speak to him with hostility...?
"I'm glad you're alive..."
Ayato's tone was strange, but Mu Xian didn't care.
very happy?
But Mu Xian wasn't particularly happy.
Mu Xian coldly looked at Ayato, who also showed a smile that Mu Xian had never seen before.
"When you're not around, my sister always misses you..."
The smile no longer carried the same sense of distance as before, but Mu Xian wished it were still the same smile he used to have.
Mu Xian also did not believe what Ayato said.
—Muttering...maybe it's just talking about the future of the Kamisato family.
Thinking of this, Mu Xian lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden knife in his hand, which had broken at some point.
"Don't worry, I won't bother Ayaka anymore."
As he spoke, Mu Xian looked at Ayato again.
Just as you expected.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xian felt something tugging at his clothes, but he easily pulled it away.
Mu Xian continued, still looking at Ayato, "I've almost repaid the debt of gratitude I owed for saving me and bringing me back to the Kamisato family over the past few years."
"There's no need for you, with your mind full of schemes, to continue using these so-called feelings to bind me."
"Didn't you not care about these things back then?"
"If you don't care, why should I care about these things?"
Mu Xian's words left Ayato speechless, but he did not want this perfect couple to disappear like this.
All of this should be salvageable, and he wants to salvage everything he has lost.
He should bear the consequences of his own mistakes, not Ayaka's... not his own sister's...
"I'm sorry...it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Ayaka..."
