Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

"And you?" Genichiro turned his gaze to the wolf. "Do you also believe what that stranger said?"

"I will believe what my master believes," the wolf said expressionlessly.

"Humph……"

Genichiro didn't want this kind of opinionless answer.

“But if I had to say, there was a resolute intent in his sword,” Wolf said. “Although only slightly, I could feel that resolute intent in his sword.”

"A decision...?"

Genichiro stopped and looked at the night sky, remaining silent for a long time.

Chapter 135 The Wedge Ball and the Hook Rope

Inside the prince's residence, Lu Ye was feeding medicine to the young girl.

After a day of fighting, his body was quite exhausted, and he should lie down and replenish his strength immediately.

But before that, he had to take care of Violet.

The bowl in her hand contained a medicine prepared by Yongzhen, which could slightly delay the symptoms of coughing, but it had to be taken more than six times a day to have a noticeable effect. Yongzhen had just been bandaging Genichiro's leg wound, so Lu Ye would be responsible for giving him the medicine for the sixth time.

Lu Ye scooped up the medicine with a spoon and slowly fed it into Violet's mouth.

Violet slowly opened her eyes when the medicine in the bowl was empty.

"You're awake. How are you feeling?"

Seeing the girl, who had been asleep for a whole day, awaken, a genuine smile appeared on Lu Ye's face.

Violet didn't speak, but instead stretched out her slender, fair arm and gently stroked Lu Ye's face, letting out a long and reassuring sigh: "Still... alive."

Lu Ye paused, then gently bit the corner of her mouth, her eyes feeling a little sore.

The girl's words were not a response to Lu Ye's question, but rather a sigh of relief.

The phrase "still alive" is not directed at herself, but at Lu Ye.

After the battle a few days ago, she began to fear losing Lu Ye, so much so that the first thing she did every morning when she woke up was to pat his face, pinch his ears, and anxiously observe whether Lu Ye would still move.

—She was more worried about Lu Ye than about her own situation.

In fact, both Lu Ye's world and the world she is in now are very unfamiliar to Violet. There are many things she doesn't understand and doesn't know how to deal with, but she is not afraid.

—As long as Lu Ye is by my side, my mood will calm down.

After all, for Violet, Lu Ye was already the closest person to her.

"I wasn't talking about me, I was asking how you're feeling, are you feeling better?"

"Hmm... my throat and chest feel uncomfortable, I've never felt this way before, what's wrong with me?"

You are sick.

"sick?"

"Yes, I probably won't be able to stay with you for the next few days because I need to find medicine for you."

"Can't I... come with you?"

Violet stared at Lu Ye, her eyes filled with the helplessness of a fawn that had lost its mother.

"It's only a few days." Lu Ye gently stroked the girl's straight nose. "It's just a few days. Sleep more and it will pass, just like we did on the island."

“The island… I caught some sheep on the island, and there are also small shrimp on the pebble beach.”

"Yes, we even went beachcombing together at sunrise and sunset. We lived a very leisurely life. I also remember that you really liked swimming and soaking in hot springs."

"But there's no sea here..."

"It's okay, summer vacation isn't over yet. I can take you to the sea when we get back."

"really?"

"Yeah, summer vacation isn't over yet. We'll go to the beach then, surf, and eat shaved ice..."

"……OK."

Violet saw that Lu Ye looked like he was about to cry, and couldn't help but gently pat his head.

Lu Ye and Violet chatted about trivial things from the past.

These are really just trivial things, but simply chatting and listening to each other is enough to make me feel satisfied.

As night deepened, the conversation drew to a close.

The girl wanted to chat with him a little longer, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

"Go to sleep, just like we did in the cabin on the island..."

Lu Ye recalled the time she spent on the island.

If the two of them could live there quietly, it might not be a bad choice.

But it doesn't really matter.

Wherever he went, he would take the girl with him, because that was her wish.

"Do you care more about me than yourself...?"

From Violet, Lu Ye realized his mistake.

Imposing one's own will on others is a wrong and foolish act, no matter how legitimate the reason may be, or even if it is done under the guise of being for the other person's good.

The cruelest thing would be for a girl who has gained human emotions to lose her only support.

"...In order to be able to go to the beach later, I need to get a good night's sleep."

Looking at Violet's sleeping face, Lu Ye leaned against the wall and slowly closed his eyes.

The exhausted body, having fought all day, quickly fell asleep.

……

The next morning, Ashina Castle.

The ruins behind the main city.

That's enough for now.

Lu Ye turned around and saw four people standing in front of him.

They are Kuro, Ryu, Hanbei, and Emma.

When Kuro said he wanted to see Lu Ye off, Genichiro did not stop him. Instead, he arranged many foot soldiers and samurai around him, including foot soldier commanders such as Kawamoto Naokatsu and Matsumoto Naoyuki. These people were arranged by Genichiro to prevent Kuro from escaping.

"Your Excellency... please accept this."

Yongzhen came out and took out a box.

"What is this?" Lu Ye asked.

"You'll know once you open it."

Lu Ye gently opened the box, inside which lay a delicate instrument, its central part wrapped with thick ropes wrapped around and around.

"This is……?"

“I asked someone to remove it from my prosthetic leg,” Yongzhen said. “The terrain below the White Snake Shrine is treacherous, and it can help in some way.”

"……Thanks."

Lu Ye knew what this was.

—Hook and rope.

With it, one can indeed move freely in dangerous terrain.

However, judging from what Yongzhen just said, she did remove this little mechanism from the hands of the sculptor Shinobu.

Yongzhen said softly, "It's alright. If you can really defeat the Inner Court, the gorilla's complaints will surely lessen a lot."

The sculptor's other name is "orangutan".

He became tainted with resentment due to excessive killing, and almost fell into the Asura realm. In the end, his left arm was severed by Isshin.

Yongzhen is right.

If someone tainted by resentment is affected by the carnage of the battlefield, no matter how much they carve Buddha images, the fire of resentment in their heart will eventually overflow, transforming them into a demon.

But if Lu Ye really succeeds in preventing the war from breaking out completely, then the sculptor can continue to suppress his resentment and perhaps continue carving until he eventually extinguishes the fire of hatred in his heart.

“Stranger, if you encounter any difficulties, come to me. I will definitely lend you a hand… Oh, by the way, this is what I promised to give you,” Jiulang said.

The wolf slowly handed over an old-fashioned katana.

“This sword is called Kusabi-maru,” Kuro said. “It is indestructible and is therefore a family heirloom of the Hirata family. I was originally going to give it to Wolf a few days ago, but now it seems that you need it more.”

Thank you.

Lu Ye took the knife from the wolf with both hands, feeling its weight and warmth.

Even if a blade is born with the destiny of killing, it must never abandon the last vestige of compassion.

Perhaps that's why I helped Genichiro save Ashina?

After all, wars of aggression have always been the thing I hate the most...

While saving someone important, you might also save a country.

This feeling... isn't so bad, actually?

"I'm afraid I can't go to that treacherous canyon," Hanbei said. "But if there's anything I can do to help later, just let me know, since our agreement hasn't been fulfilled."

The wolf didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

"Well, I'll be going then. If nothing unexpected happens, the war will be over tomorrow."

Lu Ye waved his hand, took the wedge and the grappling hook, and walked towards the outside of the city.

At the same time, a heartwarming blue light flashed before my eyes.

Side quests are now available.
