Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu looked at the Saturday that had passed the early morning and suddenly fell into deep thought.

He looked at the little white-haired animal squatting on the desk, closed the window of his room, and turned on the air conditioner.

"Speaking of which, the holidays are starting now."

"Children's Day?"

"No, I mean Saturday and Sunday." Bai Yu sat on the bed, opened a bottle of happy water, took a sip, and burped: "In two days, did you go to the ghost cave?"

"You're really open-minded." Qin Xuezao complained, "Do you know what a ghost den is?"

"do not know."

"Have you heard the story of the immortal playing chess and the woodcutter Lan Ke?"

"It shouldn't take that long, right?" Bai Yu asked.

"I'm not sure. The speed of time in the Ghost Cave isn't necessarily the same as the outside world." Qin Xuezao shook his head and said, "No one knows how much time will pass in there. If you want to enter the Ghost Cave, two days is not enough. Moreover, even Xuan Tiansi can't handle it for such a long time, which shows that this Ghost Cave must be quite dangerous. I understand your desire to find out the truth as soon as possible, but rushing in like this is undoubtedly a waste of life. It's like a mouse serving as a third party for a cat. You're more interested in money than life."

Bai Yu stretched out his hand: "Will you give me money?"

"This is a metaphor. Do you understand?" Qin Xuezao lay on the desk: "Why are you so anxious? I'm not anxious at all."

"I just really want to know what happened back then." Bai Yu said with a serious expression, "Don't you want to know how you died?"

"Of course I want to know, but..." She held up her little head: "What good would it do even if I knew? I'm already dead. Instead of entering a ghost cave, you should be more careful about falling into the devil's body."

"Zhuang Dao and Zhuang Sheng have both been dealt with, so the fallen demon bodies shouldn't be rampant in the short term."

"They are just a wholesaler, the real supplier has not appeared yet."

"Supplier..." Bai Yu touched his chin: "Are you talking about the demon seed?"

"correct."

"But since they haven't shown up, there's nothing we can do to find them." Bai Yu asked, "We've been wandering around Nanling City for quite some time. Have you sensed any demonic energy?"

"Really not." Qin Xuezao said puzzledly: "I don't understand this aspect either. Why did the supply chain of human demons suddenly break down, and the merits of walking suddenly disappeared."

"Look at it this way. Perhaps the demon has already left the city, and all that happened before was caused by Zhuang Dao and Zhuang Sheng." Bai Yu lay down on the bed. "So, the thing we should deal with at this stage is the demon den."

"Your upper and lower parts are still connected, right?" Qin Xuezao grumbled as he caught the boomerang. "I'm not necessarily trying to stop you, but I want to remind you that you must be extremely cautious and careful about this matter. Think twice before you act! I'm not in a hurry, so why should you be? If the emperor isn't anxious, then why should the eunuch be?"

"You're not the emperor, you're the empress dowager." Bai Yu bowed, then kicked the wall, turned off the light, and lay down under the quilt: "Sleep!"

【Entering】

……

“I’ve found that my time management skills are really getting better and better.”

Bai Yu sighed.

But I always feel that my sleep time is getting shorter and shorter?

He actually works overtime in his dreams at night. Even capitalists would cry when seeing this. How can a capitalist exploit his own surplus value?

"What did you say? I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand."

After hearing Bai Yu's sigh, a few seconds passed before Amemiya Mahiru spoke nervously.

The little girl expressed her shame for not being able to continue the topic smoothly.

She expressed a degree of despair about her social abilities.

After all, she has been a grown-up lady since she was a child, receiving strict training and etiquette, and often has few opportunities to communicate with other people. It's like a canary that has lived in a cage all its life. If you let it out, it will most likely starve to death. It's like throwing a fish into the sea. It's just a snack for other fish, and the latter have to sigh and thank nature for the gift.

"Nothing, just a self-deprecating remark." Bai Yu looked at Amamiya Mahiru and noticed that she was dressed quite elegantly today. "Did you change your clothes?"

"Yes, it's rare that I met a kind family today."

"A kind-hearted person?" Bai Yu asked noncommittally, "Are you truly kind-hearted, or are you just pretending to be kind?"

Amemiya Mahiru smiled helplessly: "Maybe it's true? At least before I cut open her chest, she was still saying things like 'It's great to have her, she's a big fish'."

Bai Yu looked at Miss Amemiya's sweet smile and couldn't help but sigh that this society is really a big melting pot. Such a good girl, but she has learned to speak jargon and use irony after just a few rounds of practice.

"But you seem to be in a good mood."

"Well, after I left that temple, I entered a demon market. It was quite lively, and no one was coveting me. I found a nice shop." Amamiya Mahiru said.

"Monster City?"

"It is said that some monsters or people with monster blood, or alien races from other places, opened the market privately. There is a powerful monster guarding the market as the owner, so no one dares to cause trouble." Amamiya Mahiru talked about his experiences during this period.

Another week or so passed, and she finally left Kyoto completely. She was now heading straight for Edo. The journey was not far, but she did not walk very fast, so she had to take a detour through remote areas. However, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Along the way, she saw many different customs and cultures, which also added new experiences to her life.

After listening to this, Bai Yu asked, "Are you still being hunted?"

"Well, they're not giving up, and there are quite a few ronin, but don't worry, I can protect myself." Amamiya Mahiru said confidently, "Besides, I've already started learning the sword and halberd chapters of Katori Shinto. There are quite a few people willing to risk their lives for me. It's truly an honor."

Bai Yu knocked her head and said, "Your smile has become twisted and darkened."

"Sorry." Amamiya Mahiru rubbed his cheeks: "I think I am enjoying it a little bit."

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and thought that the title of "Ignorant Demon" was completely correct... If the fate of the original Amemiya Mahiru had not changed, she would probably have gradually turned evil after marrying into the Kazama family, and then turned into an ignorant evil demon who was fond of killing people.

Although she has escaped this fate for now, the harsh environment she lives in has not changed. She still sees enemies everywhere and has to draw her sword and fight. If she continues like this, sooner or later she will become an executioner because she has killed too many people.

Her condition hasn't completely improved.

The Nan family... is really haunting.

Bai Yu asked, "Have you inquired about the Nan family?"

Amemiya Mahiru shook her head. "That's not the case, but I asked one of the ronin who came to hunt me... He said Shiori had also achieved a breakthrough. I wonder if he was inspired by something."

"I told you I'm the composer of fate, do you remember?"

"How dare I forget."

"So, I've seen your fate." Bai Yu directly gave a spoiler: "According to your original fate, you died at the hands of Minami Shiori."

Amemiya Mahiru paused for a moment and said, "Is... so, I must have done something that made her extremely hateful, like, for example, slaughtering the Nan family?"

You seem to be quite clear about this... Bai Yu remained noncommittal and asked, "How are you going to deal with Minami Shizhi? She will persevere against you."

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Let's just let it go." Amamiya Mahiru lifted a strand of hair and said, "I probably don't have time to think about her right now... Let's not talk about Shiori. I just want to have a good chat with you about something pleasant. Is that okay?"

"……Fine."

Bai Yu couldn't find the right words to refute.

I always feel that Amamiya Mahiru's evilness is also increasing.

After a moment's thought, Amamiya Mahiru softly explained, "Ever since I was little, I've envied my sister for being able to run freely. Even though she's been so kind to me, and even though I love her, envy and jealousy are ultimately the evil of human nature. I share these negative emotions, too. Even though I'd risk my life to save her, I'd also be tempted to speak harshly to her out of envy and jealousy. Now that I've escaped this cage, I naturally want to start over and not let the ugliness of the past catch up with me again."

She took the initiative to step forward and gently held Bai Yu's palm, feeling a hint of warmth from her fingertips. "So, please, sir, lead me, a weak and feeble person, to a better future. Let me become happy enough. One day, I won't have to envy and be jealous of Shiori anymore. Then I can hug my beloved sister without any scruples."

This sudden confession made Bai Yu a little flustered.

He glanced at Amemiya and immediately promised, "I...will do my best to help you. As long as you don't give up, you will definitely reach a better future. One day, you will be able to reunite and embrace your beloved family."

Amamiya Mahiru carefully released her hand, revealing a beautiful smile. "As long as you say this, I have endless confidence... The future will definitely be better. I am now absolutely certain of this."

She then lowered her head shyly: "There is one more thing I need to confess."

"Be honest?" Bai Yu touched his chin. "What problem did you encounter?"

"Actually, actually..." Amamiya Mahiru pointed her finger and said, "Don't you think I'm dressed very neatly?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?

"Actually, I was caught."

"Ah?" Bai Yu made a puzzled sound like Aatrox.

"The lord of the demon city captured many other girls as concubines. A couple entertained me and wanted to capture me to replace their daughter. I wanted to leave, but I softened my heart and agreed to pretend to be the bride and marry them..." Amamiya Mahiru said cautiously:

Bai Yu was silent.

Amamiya Mahiru knew he was wrong and shouldn't have made things more complicated, so he lowered his head and confessed: "The opponent's strength is not strong, he is only at the second level. I think I can handle it."

Bai Yu continued to remain silent.

The little girl was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Those girls were so pitiful, I thought of myself, so... sir, I'm sorry..."

At this time, Bai Yu raised his hand.

Mahiru Amamiya thought she was going to be beaten and quickly closed her eyes.

In the end, she just felt a gentle pat on her shoulder.

"You're already a mature Heroic Spirit. You need to learn to find monsters and fight them on your own." Bai Yu gave a thumbs-up. "Self-discipline is a good thing~!"

Chapter 128 Healing Amamiya

After hearing Bai Yu's words, he confirmed that the other party did not blame him.

Amamiya Mahiru breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the gentleman is not angry.

But he really never seems to get angry because of his own selfishness.

Even seems to agree with it?

"I don't mind you actively seeking out monsters to fight, but I have to remind you to be careful." Bai Yu spread his hands, giving the other party a warning: "I can't always help you. If you encounter any dangerous situations, you still have to rely on your own strength to solve them. I won't always help you."

This is also a preset position. If things really go wrong or something goes wrong, don't expect me to always cover for you.

Amemiya Mahiru breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're not angry, sir... Of course I wasn't being complacent, and I didn't intend to tell you at first, but I just felt it was not good to keep it a secret."

She had never understood what it meant to act arbitrarily since she was a child, and she had never had that level of freedom.

The idea of being fearless never occurred to her from the beginning. When she decided to intervene, she was mentally prepared to bear the consequences. It was like Baiyu was the parent company and Amamiya Mahiru was a branch of a multinational group. They had a certain degree of freedom to decide on business policies, but they had to bear the profits and losses themselves. She couldn't just make a deficit and then beg the parent company to clean up her mess, right?

Just go bankrupt.

Reopen the trumpet quickly.

You must never be complacent, Amamiya Mahiru warned herself, you must be clear about your position and attitude... Although she has already shouldered a high sunk cost, she is not necessarily irreplaceable to her husband.

She said seriously, "I am confident that I can win, and this battle can also be considered as a test for myself."

"Very good, very good." Bai Yu agreed repeatedly.

Employees who can exercise self-discipline and work overtime are good employees.

After suffering a lot, the boss drives a Land Rover.

Work hard, if you become stronger I will become stronger!

The atmosphere is harmonious.

only……

Bai Yu leaned against the railing and sat down. He didn't even rush into the dungeon to fight monsters. Instead, he sighed and said, "I really envy you."

Amemiya Mahiru couldn't see but still blinked in confusion. Why did this sentence sound so Versailles? Was it ironic?

But she couldn't hear the specific meaning of the irony, so she asked, "What do you mean? Is there anything about me that is worth envying?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "I'm not being sarcastic. Don't be so nervous... When I say envy, I mean it in the truest sense."

"What I envy you is that you are moving forward on your path in life."

"Just this point alone makes me envious."

Amemiya Mahiru closed her eyes, walked to the opposite side of Bai Yu, and sat on the railing. The two looked into each other's eyes.

"You sound like you're worried about something?" She pressed her chest. "If you don't mind, you can tell me. I'm good at keeping secrets... Besides, I don't have anyone else to talk to."

Bai Yu looked at Amemiya Mahiru, stroking his chin in thought. He smiled and said, "Indeed, you might really be the most suitable listener."

At this moment, for some reason, I felt a desire to talk.

Perhaps it was because he was already familiar enough with Amamiya Mahiru, or because she was his Heroic Spirit and would never betray him.

Also, because the two parties live in completely different circles, what separates them is not only space, but also time... Even if she knew, she couldn't do anything.

It is also because in reality, some secrets cannot be told to anyone, not to Su Ruoli, nor to Qin Xuezhao.

It would be fine if it was just a secret, but the important thing is that behind this secret lies the heart of a wanderer who cannot return home.
