Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Shiromine Ai picked up the not-too-heavy package and walked back to the apartment.

After unpacking it, there were some gifts from my hometown, including some local specialties and a few new clothes.

She immediately recognized it as a shipment from Fuso.

She hadn't even finished her letter.

However, the other party sent the letter even faster.

She pushed the other miscellaneous items to Shiromine Kotaro, walked into the bedroom, and opened the letter with the words "Dear Ai" written on it.

When I opened it, a line of words came into view.

'When you receive this letter, I believe you have already met that person...'

Chapter 415 Love Letter

At night, take the opportunity of taking a walk.

Bai Yu came to a secluded place.

Baifeng Ai had been waiting here early, sitting on the edge of the fountain, looking very worried.

Bai Yu took a step forward and gray mist rose.

Noticing the gray mist rising from the ground, Shiromine Ai was slightly startled and raised her eyes in surprise.

She immediately bowed respectfully and said, "You're back."

"I was just taking a casual walk, I didn't expect you to be here." Bai Yu had changed into an adult appearance: "The appointment time is tomorrow, right?"

Baifeng Ai lowered her head and said, "I'm waiting here on purpose. I haven't seen you for a few days, so it's inevitable that I'm a little uneasy."

She came here with her master's orders.

If I never see Bai Yu again, I don’t know how to face my teacher when I go back.

Bai Yu touched his chin and said, "It seems that you have made some progress during this period. So... are you ready?"

Baifeng Ai straightened her back: "Anytime, please teach me!"

There is no need to personally get involved in such things as fleecing the sheep.

He raised his hand and summoned the Wuming Ghost in the heroic spirit state.

Leave it to her.

The two swords began to clash again before their eyes.

Their strengths are similar.

No, to be more precise, Wuming Gui's combat power is even better, and her level has reached level 30.

In contrast, Baifeng Ai's progress is slower and she is still in the middle stage of the second stage.

This is also normal.

Bai Yu pondered for a moment. Although he wanted to continue to take advantage of the situation, Wuming Gui's level increased much faster than Baifeng Ai's.

Even if her teacher, Amamiya Mahiru, continues to improve in strength, the moves that Shiromine Ai can ultimately learn are limited, and she may not be able to fully master all the moves in her teacher's hands.

After just a few times, she had already gradually fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Unless Baifeng Ai can break through to the third level as soon as possible, this method of cyclically taking advantage of others will probably fail sooner or later.

Come to think of it, it is true... There are too many processes in this cycle.

The present Amamiya Mahiru → Shiromine Ai → Shiraumi → the past Amamiya Mahiru → the present Amamiya Mahiru.

This inevitably leads to a loss problem in potential energy conduction, and this loss directly restricts the continuous power of the perpetual motion machine.

The fundamental reason is that Shiromine Ai's progress cannot keep up, and the swordsmanship she has mastered is difficult to completely replicate the Shinto Genkyō Ryu created by Amemiya Mahiru after ten years.

If you want to solve the problem of the perpetual motion machine, the best way is to kick Shiromine Ai out of this link, and let Bai Yu directly contact the current Amamiya Mahiru, so that the perpetual motion machine can continue to exist.

But he didn't dare.

At the end of today's confrontation, Bai Yu caught a glimpse of Bai Feng Ai's level +1. It seems that this kind of sword fight where both parties know each other well is also beneficial enough for her.

As long as the gap in strength is not too big, you can still get some benefits, but the efficiency may be satisfactory.

Half an hour passed, and Wuming Ghost retreated into the gray fog. Before leaving, he said, "Don't hesitate when you swing your sword. I hope you can be stronger next time."

Bai Yu was a little surprised by this statement. He actually couldn't figure out the logic behind the actions of the clones summoned by the heroic spirit. Some of them had clear self-will, while others were puppets that obeyed orders completely.

It seems that Wuming Gui sensed something from Shiromine Ai.

While Bai Yu was thinking, he saw Bai Feng Ai put away the fog knife and handed over a letter: "This is a letter from Fusang, please accept it."

"A letter?" Bai Yu didn't immediately respond, but asked, "Whose letter is it?"

"A letter from the teacher."

"...How did she know I was here?" Bai Yu asked, "Did you tell her?"

"I was planning to write a letter, but I don't have the channels. I plan to wait until I return to Fuso during the holidays." Shiromine Ai answered truthfully: "I don't know why the teacher knew about this. Perhaps..."

"Ok?"

"It's a woman's intuition." Shiromine Ai blinked.

Bai Yu snorted.

If her intuition was really that accurate, it wouldn't be you but me who'd be sweating here today.

After confirming that there was nothing strange in the letter and finding nothing unusual, Bai Yu accepted it.

Before leaving, I caught a glimpse of the injuries on Shiromine Ai's back and calves. Although they were not serious, they were bleeding.

Mahiru must have drunk the Forgotten Milk, so she was so heavy-handed.

He took out a bottle of primary life potion and threw it over: "Drink it and it will heal you."

After opening it, Baifeng Ai tilted her head back to drink it, her face turning bitter.

It tastes like carrots.

The burning pain immediately turned into coolness, and the wound healed faster than she thought. In the blink of an eye, she wiped it with her finger and saw smooth skin under the blood.

"Thank you..." She raised her head and was about to thank him, but the person disappeared from her sight.

She silently put the bottle away and put it back in her pocket.

Although she was curious about what was written in the letter, she didn't dare to peek, let alone ask.

Shiromine Ai could tell from his letter how much his teacher missed him.

It should be a love letter, right?

"I wonder when the teacher will be able to come to Penglai."

……

After returning to his residence and entering his room, Bai Yu went straight to the bedroom.

After opening the letter, a line of beautiful handwriting came into view.

It was deliberately written in Daxia script. Fusang originally had the cultural custom of learning Daxia script, which was considered an elegant thing among the Chinese.

Bai Yu never hid his Daxia household registration, so it was understandable that Mahiru worked hard to learn the Daxia language.

'It's been a long time since I last saw Zhiyu, and I miss you so much'

"I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you so much that I'm writing this letter." (私→我, the first person in Japanese)

"I don't know if this letter will reach you, but it's the only way to dispel the sorrow and longing in my heart."

"My life is pretty good now. I've opened a dojo, have disciples following me, and have gained some fame in Fusang. I'm completely different from when I was wandering around like a stray dog, with no one to worry about."

"But I still can't help but miss that time, because when I was at my lowest point, it was you who supported me."

"If you see this letter, even if you don't reply to me, it will be a great comfort."

"I wrote this letter because I suddenly recalled some past events. I remembered some sword techniques and principles that Master had taught me in the past, which have now been integrated into the Shinto Huanyin Style. I believe that Master's guidance was very deliberate and well-thought-out, and not just a flash of inspiration. So I started to speculate whether Master had learned from the future and then passed it on to me in the past. If that were the case, then Master undoubtedly saved me from many years of detours in creating my own kendo school."

"I further speculate how the master knew this. I personally believe that I have never met the master, and I think it was passed on from his disciples. If this is true, Yayi must have had contact with the master. With this in mind, I wrote this letter."

"I know this little trick might annoy you, sir. I hope you won't blame me, Yai. You haven't contacted me for many years. There must be a reason, or I must have done something wrong."

"I just wanted to tell you... Mahiru misses you so much..."

"Privately...in...your...view..." (The handwriting here is a little wet and blurry, so it's hard to read)

The second reason for writing this letter is to let you know something.

'Nine years ago, I encountered two things privately'

"The first incident involved my uncle, Ryuji Amamiya. After his whereabouts were discovered, he was pursued by the Onmyoji. By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late. He chose to perish alongside the Onmyoji, completely merging with the Ghost Hand. Later, the Ghost King possessed his consciousness, turning him into a devastating disaster. If I had been able to arrive earlier, perhaps I could have made it in time."

"The second incident was also nine years ago. Due to the heavy blow dealt to Nan Shihui, the Nan family inevitably fell into decline. Shiori was in a very bad situation and was once kidnapped. When Shizhi learned the news, she immediately returned to Osaka, but missed the news about her uncle."

"I tried my best to save Shiori, but I couldn't prevent the demise of the Minami family. Many people who had done me a favor died and were injured. I also didn't get to see my uncle one last time. He must have been in great pain."

"Looking back ten years later, I realized I hadn't been able to protect anything. My uncle died with his eyes wide open, and Shiori passed away."

"Sir, I don't know how to choose, nor do I know which is the right choice. This seems to be an unsolvable multiple-choice question."

"Please help me, sir, and free Mahiru from this regret and nightmare."

"The only person I can rely on and trust is you, sir. Please don't abandon Mahiru, otherwise..."

"Mahiru really doesn't know how or why to survive."

'……' (Another two lines of wet and blurry text)

'Lin Ying Yi Yi, not wanting to be white'

'This letter is short, but my feelings are deep. Please take care of yourself.'

'I sincerely hope you will write me a letter'

'Yours sincerely, Amamiya Mahiru'

Chapter 416: Destiny Weaving

This isn't so much a love letter.

It's more like a letter asking for help.

Bai Yu read the contents of the letter carefully twice.

Judging from the format, it is filled with longings, emotions, and serious matters, and...

"The handwriting is good."

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows.

The better the handwriting, the more effort Amamiya Mahiru has put into it. She uses a brush and it takes years to practice calligraphy.

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

Put the letter away.

Bai Yu was a little hesitant about whether to reply.

You can reply or not.

If I replied, it would mean that she already knew I was here, and it would be troublesome if she really came to sting the police.

I am still young and don't want to fall into the Shura field.

If I don't reply, it will seem like I don't care enough. With Amamiya Mahiru's extreme personality, who knows, she might really do something.

Bai Yu touched his chin and thought, "I now have the fourth-level peak Ghost Dragon King, and Mahiru's strength is less than the fifth level. She shouldn't be able to stop me. In this case, why not take the time to go to Fuso to see her?"

Since we are going to Rome anyway, it is still in time to stop in Fuso.

Fuso is closer to Daxia and has a port terminal specifically for ghost ships.

If you are strong enough, you don't have to worry about being locked in the basement, and you can naturally stand up straight.

Bai Yu felt that his mentality was very similar to that of a middle-aged man after marriage. If he lacked confidence, he would inevitably show a look of weak legs as if he was being tortured when he heard his wife calling him to go to bed.

The kidneys are so heavy, the kidneys are so heavy!
