In memory, that elegant courtyard.
Pink cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the treetops, and when the breeze passes, they will immediately send a shower of flowers flying all over the sky.
A click sound~
A bamboo knife jumped up from his hand and fell quietly into the sky against the rain of flowers.
"pain……"
Sitting on the ground helplessly.
The young Kutsu Kiyomi's face was full of pain, her eyes were full of tears, and her arms and ankles were covered with bruises and knife marks.
"stand up!"
The man in front of him had a solemn expression, holding a bamboo knife tightly in both hands, and his brows were full of fierce heroic spirit.
Whoosh~
He shook the bamboo knife in his hand hard.
The man stepped forward silently and shouted in a deep voice: "Pick up the bamboo knife on the ground and continue!"
"Father..."
Biting her lips tightly, her hands couldn't stop shaking.
The young Kiyumi shook her little head and cried uncontrollably: "I, I can't do it..."
Two lines of hot tears fell down his cheeks.
Kiyomi's face was slightly red, like an apple growing in early autumn.
"I can't be like you, father. I'm so scared. I'm afraid of fighting, and I'm even more afraid of that magic knife..."
Hold on to your lapels.
The weak little girl in front of her closed her eyes tightly, encouraged her courage, and cried: "No... I can never become a qualified samurai!"
Prone on the ground.
The young body's shoulders trembled, and Muyumi cried bitterly. As the petals from the sky fell to her back, her whole body was already sluggish.
Kutsu family——
As the first royal family of the Empire on which the sun never sets, the daimyo family has been upholding the responsibility of protecting the royal family for hundreds of years.
The heads of each generation of the family are very powerful warriors.
They are brave, strong, and possess perseverance and faith that ordinary people cannot understand.
only if.
Only the successive heads of the Kutsu family are qualified to control the magical monster that has been passed down in the family to this day.
——"Sakura Killer Ghost"!
This is the fate of the head of the Kutsu family, and it is also the responsibility they must fulfill.
The purest blood of the Jiujin family flows in his body.
Physically speaking.
Among the younger generation of the Kutsu family, this girl is the only one who has the ability to resonate with the biological force field of "Sakura-Zhangui".
As the heir to the family.
Kutsuki Yumi, who lost her mother when she was young, has had high hopes from her father Kutsuya Mi since she was a child.
It's a pity that she has a timid character.
Regardless of strength, perseverance, or even gender, he completely lacks the qualities to tame the "Sakura-Zhangui".
In the process of coming into contact with the weird monsters, he was often attacked by them.
Even being briefly deprived of consciousness.
Ever since Muyumi became sensible.
Kutsu Yami began to conduct various cruel training on mental strength and sword control.
Unfortunately, the progress is slow and the results are still very little!
There have even been complaints within the family.
I hope Kutsu Yami can renew her relationship and give birth to another baby boy or two to replace the good-for-nothing Kiyomi.
"Father, maybe they are right..."
Sitting there with disheveled hair.
Muyumi shook her head and cried: "I am not the most suitable candidate. I am not worthy of inheriting the family business at all. You should really consider marrying another wife and giving birth to a younger brother. In this way..."
"Shut up!"
A stern shout suddenly sounded in my ears!
Kutsu Yashi stood there, letting the cold wind ruffle his hair, but remained unmoved.
"I never wanted to give up on you..."
The man in front of him had a sullen face and roared in a low voice: "Why do you have to give up on yourself?!"
He was suddenly startled.
Muyumi lowered her head and was speechless, stunned to the point of being in a trance.
"You look a lot like your mother."
A long sigh.
Kujin Yashi shook his head and said: "Same kindness, same sentimentality..."
Startled slightly.
Kiyumi looked at her father blankly, speechless for a long time.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet.
The father and daughter looked at each other in the air, and time seemed to have stopped.
He walked closer slowly and touched the girl's forehead.
After thinking for a moment, Kutsuya sat down cross-legged and murmured.
"The source of power of 'Sakura-Zhangui' comes from the fear of human beings. This is actually a double-edged sword. Those who are dominated by fear will have their consciousness and body taken away. However, as long as you can overcome your own fear, you can do the opposite." Control this magic knife!"
Kiyumi asked: "Then, what should I do?!"
A gentle breeze blew through the courtyard.
The clothes of father and daughter were fluttering in the wind, and they could not calm down for a long time.
"Do you know what 'Sakura' and 'Sword' mean?" Kuzu Yami asked.
Shaking her head inexplicably, Muyumi's eyes were filled with doubts.
Raise your hand.
The bamboo sword that had just been knocked away suddenly flew into Kutsu Yami's hand.
Show the bamboo knife in front of the girl.
Kutsu Yami said frankly: "A knife is a weapon for killing people. It kills decisively and is ruthless..."
Said.
The man in front of him clenched his bamboo knife with his backhand and slashed into the air.
A loud sound~
The sharp sword energy streaked across the sky.
On the blade, a pink petal floated quietly on the blade, seemingly unaffected by the sharp sword energy.
"As for cherry blossoms, they are gifts from nature, originating from early spring and withering at the winter solstice..."
There was a pause.
Kutsu Yami looked directly into Kiyomi's eyes and said bluntly: "A true strong man must not only have the strength to conquer everything, but also must have a compassionate heart..."
"When wood is strong, it will break; when it is soft, it will not be soft..."
Slowly put away the bamboo knife.
Reaching out to catch the falling petals, Kutsu Yami continued eloquently: "Being too strong or too weak will eventually lead us to extremes. The reason why people are human is because we have human weaknesses, but It is also because of these weaknesses that we can become stronger..."
He handed the cherry blossoms and bamboo sword in his hands to the daughter in front of him at the same time.
The latter took it slowly.
With tears still on his cheeks, he nodded in understanding.
next moment--
A big hand stroked Mu Yumi's fair cheek and gently wiped away her tears.
"There is no shame in crying. Fear is also human instinct..."
Suddenly he looked up.
Kiyumi looked at her father in disbelief.
Kutsu Yami, who has always been extremely strict with her, has a smile on her face, which makes people feel at ease and warm like the sun in early winter.
"These emotions make you who you are today. Without them, you would truly become useless."
Choked for a long while.
The timid-looking girl was speechless for a while and was speechless for a long time.
"Remember, your name..."
An afternoon under the rain of cherry blossoms.
The tall man narrowed his eyes and finally stressed: "Kiyumi Kutsu, you are a samurai of the Kutsu family. Even if you die, you can't let go of the hand holding the sword. Even the smallest petals have the potential to neutralize hostility. …”
"No matter what difficulties you encounter, never give up until the last moment!"
"Sakura and the Sword"......
That's right!
My name...is Kutsu Kiyumi, a samurai from the Kutsu family!
boom--
Eyes opened suddenly.
The female warrior who had almost fallen asleep suddenly woke up and once again grasped the purple handle of the "Sakura Demon".
