Finally, Fang Li naturally rejected the invitation of Yomokawa Aya.
The title of Samurai sounds very imposing, but in this ti and in this country, the so-called Samurai had already mostly been decayed.
Not looking elsewhere just having a look at Samurai in Aragane Station will show you the current state of Samurais.
Lacking courage and confidence.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Not daring to strive for an achievent.
Lacking in dignity.
These are all the connotations one thinks of when speaking about the present Samurai.
Because of the existence of Kabane, the Samurai body and mind had already been worn down to a half-done state.
In the original works, there were many Samurai that because of the existence Kabane causing them to be frightened, led to them causing many disputes. They went so far as to even slander the average person and even kill the average person. These are all normal matters with the Samurai in this world and era.
Therefore, in this ti, while the Samurai are seemingly helping to govern each relay station, reality is different and feudal bullying of ordinary citizens is commonplace.
The people do not have any respect regarding these samurais, only dread. This is the way of the current ti.
Is this perhaps the reason why Konochi Kurusu is so rigid when it cos to a Samurai’s dignity?
At least, to Fang Li, in the original works’ Samurai, only Konochi Kurusu and Araka Kibito can be called true Samurai, with the rest being only disappointing existences.
Therefore, Fang Li does not want to be associated with these people.
Even if this would allow him to be close to Yomokawa Aya, allowing him to be nearby and protect her thus completing Main Quest 2, Fang Li still refuses to do it.
Naturally, Fang Li will not say that this is his reason, that will only injure the relations of both sides.
Regarding this, Yomokawa Aya is actually slightly disappointed, it seems like she wants to help Fang Li, helping him get rid of the Wanderer status.
This type of kindness is not a good deed regarding Fang Li. However, nobody would be hateful of a good person.
Fang Li is also so.
Therefore, Fang Li chatted with Yomokawa Aya for awhile, in this period making Yomokawa Aya’s smiling face unceasing.
This is definitely not because Fang Li is an inborn codian, it’s just that this ti is quite lacking in entertainnt. As a person who had once lived in the 21 st century the amount of information regarding his 18 years of living, allows Fang Li to talk about so little known amusing topics which in turn has then made Yomokawa Aya’s heart curious, smiling continuously.
There were two different reactions to this.
One was Yomokawa Aya this Rich Ojou-sama who had been sheltered her entire life and had not encountered many entertaining things, allowing her to talk about them was like opening the floodgates. Although her style of speaking is still as polite as ever there was a hint of a pure young girl’s unique fragileness.
One was Konochi Kurusu from beginning to end again he remained silent and unspeaking. Only using his vicious look to look at Fang Li, as if looking at an enemy with whom he has suffered bitterly and hated to the extre. That appearance, rather than giving off the impression that he wants to draw a sword to chop Fang Li, radically was showing that he wants to jump onto Fang Li and bite him.
While discussing these matters under a really happy condition, Yomokawa Aya suddenly rembered an important matter, squeaking a small call in alarm.
“Aya-sama?" Konochi Kurusu asked as if he had finally found the opportunity of involvent: “What happened?"
“I... I almost forgot." Yomokawa Aya said sowhat flusteredly as: “Today I was ant to help father take his Steam Gun for repair."
Hearing this, Fang Li suddenly raised his head, looking at Yomokawa Aya.
“!!!”
At this mont, Yomokawa Aya only thought that her whole body had beco ice cold.
Because, in the split second that Yomokawa Aya looked at this Wanderer with whom she was having a happy chat with, in his pair of ordinary eyes, an ice blue ray flashed for a split second.
That glimpse of the ice blue ray had as if eliminated the body temperature of Yomokawa Aya’s whole body, it seed as if it could wipe out her body’s life, making Yomokawa Aya have a misconception.
What she was facing was not a person, but a god. A Death God.
At that mont, Yomokawa Aya could not bear retreating two steps.
“Aya-sama?" Konochi Kurusu’s face was sowhat confused asking: “What happened again?"
“Fang Li-san?" Yomokawa Aya did not pay attention to Konochi Kurusu, but her whole face was still shaken while looking at Fang Li, stuttering: “You... You just..."
Looking at Yomokawa Aya’s shaken appearance, in Fang Li’s heart he shouted “Not Good” secretly.
“Sorry, Aya-sama." Fang Li apologises: “I did not an to frighten you intentionally."
“No..." Yomokawa Aya has held her chest to calm down hesitantly asked: “But, just now your eye...?"
“My eye?" Fang Li intentionally doubtfully asks: “What about my eye?"
Looking at Fang Li’s doubtful expression, Yomokawa Aya cald down, looking again at Fang Li’s eyes.
In there, she only saw a pair of dark-coloured ordinary eyes. “Could it be that, I misread?” Yomokawa Aya asks in her heart.
Not waiting for Yomokawa Aya to find out a reason as to why, Fang Li reminds her: “Aya-san, did you not say that you wanted to help your father repair his steam gun?"
“Right... Right." Yomokawa Aya nodded. “It’s for this matter than I looked for Kurusu, I wanted him to help be my bodyguard, accompanying to leave the Manor."
“We should hurry." Although Konochi Kurusu is still doubting why Yomokawa Aya will make much ado about nothing suddenly, he continued: “If we keep delaying this matter we may be punished."
“That’s ... That’s right" Yomokawa Aya was about to continue pondering over the previous matter but, thinking of the proper business, has to say goodbye to Fang Li.
Fang Li such as before without any unusuality talked with Yomokawa Aya with a relaxed tone, packing off Yomokawa Aya and Konochi Kurusu.
After Yomokawa Aya and Konochi Kurusu leave one after another, the smiling face on Fang Li’s face disappeared bit by bit, as he sighed.
“It seems like I need to find an opportunity to discipline and control the Mystic Eyes."
Although Fang Li can still like from the beginning naturally “turn off” the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception with his will, but if Fang Li’s mood has fluctuated, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception cannot help but show.
Just, although in that mont Mystic Eyes of Death Perception re-appeared for rely a split second, in that split second, Fang Li saw Yomokawa Aya’s Death Line clearly.
Death Lines were spread all over Yomokawa Aya’s body as if it were about to divide her into pieces, giving the feeling that Fang Li has split up Yomokawa Aya into pieces.
Only, he did not think that Yomokawa Aya was unexpectedly so sensitive, realising this small difference unexpectedly.
“But, repairing the steam gun?"
This matter, Fang Li has also thought about.
The day that the plot starts in the original works, Yomokawa Aya took her father’s Steam Gun to repair.
“It seems like..., the plot has finally started."
