446 Because I’m Coming (6000 Two-in-One)
"Really broken?"
"Um."
"Is this the only handle left?"
"……Um."
"It was intact when I lent it to you."
"Hmm... No, it doesn't seem like I borrowed it in the first place?"
"It's the same anyway, because it only has one handle left, so how are you going to compensate me?"
"Well..."
Tang Hao looked at the Penglai Jade Sword with only the hilt left in his hand and was speechless for a moment.
This sword has made great achievements for him since it came out of the mountain, to the forbidden world, to the Arad continent, and then to the world of Gu Aotian, but in the end it suffered a Waterloo in the Xingyue world. In fact, Cu Chulainn's blow was not too serious, it only caused a slight crack in it. The real fatal thing was the root cause.
After all, he is not a real magician. Although he saw endless mystery in the roots, he did not bring out anything. It was just because of the mark of Shajo Aige that he temporarily possessed a certain degree of root power, and then He imitated Aozaki Aoko's way of fighting, but he also knew little about it. In the end, he himself had no problem, but the Penglai Jade Sword could not withstand the power of the root he used indiscriminately. In the end, while cutting off Jin Shining, the sword Also broken.
Don't ask again why you didn't pick up the shining golden sword. Servants' weapons are made of magic power and are not physical objects. Only a few can be preserved after the death of the Servant, and most of the treasures and weapons will be with them. The Servant disappears when he dies, and the same goes for the Oblivion Sword... This is common sense, my friends!
Tang Hao came to Eternal Pavilion this time, firstly for Illya, and secondly to explain the situation to Kaguya.
Just as he was talking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be led astray?
"Hey, that's not right! You gave this sword to me at that time, and the price was that I owed you a promise. Although I haven't fulfilled this promise yet, but no matter what, it is already mine, even if it is broken. If it’s broken, I don’t think I need to compensate you, right?”
"That's true, so why do you still report to me?"
"Eh... I actually wanted to ask if it's possible to repair it or replace it with a new one?"
"So, this is another business." Kaguya covered her face with her hands, her eyes smiling like a crescent moon, "There is no free lunch in the world. If you ask me to do something, you have to pay a price, right?"
"So, what's the price?"
"It's up to you." After saying that, Kaguya took the hilt of the sword, looked at it twice, then shook his head and put it aside, "There is no way this sword can be repaired unless I restore my own. The Penglai jade branches are here to be repaired. I still have some good collections in the warehouse. If they can be slightly improved...but I'm afraid you can't afford this business."
"Business and all that hurts feelings so much."
"Master." Kaguya suddenly looked at him with a serious expression, "Master, you already have a wife, but I am a concubine. If we don't talk about business between you and me, how can we still talk about it? Feelings?"
"Well……"
Tang Hao was suddenly speechless. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He found that Kaguya was really strict today, and... was this implying something?
"Ahem!" Tang Hao couldn't help coughing twice and asked tentatively, "Does that mean we don't have to talk anymore?"
Kaguya smiled again, "If it's about weapons, then there's really no need to talk about it. After all, it's the right thing to borrow and repay. You haven't paid off your last debt, so it would be inappropriate to borrow again. Of course. , if it’s some other trivial matters, I would be willing to accompany you. It just so happens that I recently bought a game where the sword master kills the wolf, you can take the opportunity to observe it, it may be able to help you. "
"Well... I think it's better to forget it."
"Then I won't give it away, but in view of the friendship between you and me, I can give you some guidance. I wonder if you have heard such a sentence."
"What words?"
"The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul, and the sword is in the heart!" Kaguya pointed at Tang Hao's chest, her eyes full of wisdom seemed to be able to look directly into his soul, and said in a deep voice, "Young man, as long as you have the sword in your heart , there is a sword in your hand, it is the supreme heart sword that surpasses any holy sword and is enough to cut off the soul!"
"..."
Is your special girl GSD? !
Coming out of Eternal Pavilion, Tang Hao was still thinking about Kaguya's last words. Although he thought it was nonsense at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes some sense. After all, the theory of the Heart Sword is not nonsense in the first place. If you have a sword in your heart, everything can be a sword.
Moreover, he also has beautiful scenery.
At the end of the day, he could also learn from Ashina Isshin. When facing the enemy, he would first say to the enemy with great momentum, "I am the Sword Master Ashina Isshin, please teach me!", and then suddenly take out the beautiful scenery of the good time and bang bang bang. How many shots are coming, who can stop them?
My special mother is really a genius!
Thinking of this, Tang Hao suddenly felt that this fighting method was extremely exciting, in every aspect. That's right, since the Penglai Jade Sword is gone, I don't need to be a swordsman for the time being, but a gunner... Oh no, let's be a sword master first.
"what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I suddenly thought of something fun."
While walking on the road, Yu Ji saw Tang Hao suddenly giggle alone, which made her feel a little baffled. She was probably thinking of some weird idea again, but she didn't care too much and asked: "Shall we go back to the Red Devil Mansion next?"
"Well... let's go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion first." Tang Hao nodded. In fact, he wanted to go to Hakurei Shrine. After all, he had to worship at the top of the mountain. The money in Reimu's hand was probably almost spent, so he had to send some over. Only when Reimu leads a good life can she be able to protect him. As long as Reimu is protecting him, he can walk sideways in this Gensokyo.
This is the experience of social people!
However, he was still thinking about the Tohsaka sisters, and he didn't know how the sisters were getting along. He would go and have a look first. As for Reimu, there was no rush anyway.
"First Illya, and then the Tohsaka sisters. You are really worried." Upon hearing Tang Hao's explanation, Yu Ji could not help but curl her lips.
Worry?
Tang Hao was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. Obviously, their affairs had nothing to do with him, and he was not a member of the chat room, but he, an outsider, worked for them like an old father. What on earth was it? What are you picturing?
Instead of working hard, making her shy, taking away her first kiss, and bringing her into the harem?
Well, this kind of idea cannot be said to be completely absent. After all, 99% of men will have a harem dream, but if you really want to implement it, it is impossible. Even this idea is just a daydream. It's just a stage, at least when he was doing these things, he didn't think about it at all.
"Probably, it's just that I want to do it."
Tang Hao smiled. How can a person's life have so many meanings and purposes? Many times, when people do something, they will not consider the benefits and gains and losses behind it. Maybe some people will do this, but Life will undoubtedly be very tiring, and the vast majority of people spend almost half their lives doing nothing, but...as long as they are happy.
At noon, Tang Hao and Yu Ji returned to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Remilia did not show up as usual. After all, the sun was still quite hot today, and the bat spirit might not be able to bear it. She was probably taking a nap at this time.
Since Patchouli returned to Gensokyo, she has plunged into the library. Her home-destroying disease is probably incurable. Miss Okita is still with her, but Tang Hao believes that it will not be more than two days. Ms. Okita will get bored. With her personality, it is absolutely impossible for her to stay in the library all the time.
Little Illya didn't see it, so she asked in the chat room and found that she had been taken on an adventure by Ruby.
This is normal. As long as a person is a little confident in his own strength, the first thing he does after coming to Gensokyo is probably to take risks.
In the end, only Ye was busy in the Scarlet Devil Mansion in Nuoda. Compared to others, Ye's sense of presence is really extraordinary. As long as you want to find her, she will definitely appear.
After spending the night asking, Tang Hao found Tohsaka Rin. She was not with Sakura at the moment, but was sitting alone in the garden on the second floor, looking at the goblins in the yard below in a daze, looking a little depressed and confused.
"What's wrong?" Tang Hao walked forward and sat down next to her.
"It's you...Isn't Miss Akuta with you?" Tohsaka Rin glanced at him and asked casually.
"She went to rest, what do you think?"
"What?"
"Of course it's Sakura's business."
"I..." Tohsaka Rin hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I talked to her for a while before, and she seemed to have some knots in her heart. She was timid and even more afraid of strangers than she was when she was a child. I originally wanted to She took her back. After all, she is still young and still needs to go to school. The schools here are lagging behind after all, but when I proposed this idea, her reaction..."
"She refused?"
"It can't be said to be rejection, but the reaction is a bit strong, as if you are afraid of something?"
"Probably because I'm afraid of being abandoned again." Tang Hao said. Time has left traces on Tohsaka Rin for ten years, but for Sakura, it was less than three months since the Holy Grail War. At that time, What happened is still fresh in my mind, and there must still be a shadow in my heart, "What about you, what are you going to do?"
"...I don't know." Tohsaka Rin shook his head, "I am also confused now. I think she should go home, but this is just my own idea. She seems to be living well here. Take her back to the end Is it good or bad? And I may not have that much time to take care of her, so..."
"That's not like you." Before Tosaka Rin finished speaking, Tang Hao teased, "Since you already have an idea, just work hard to implement it. Being so hesitant is not the devil's style at all. ."
"What Devil Muscle Rin? Who is Devil Muscle Rin!" Tohsaka Rin reacted and immediately roared at Tang Hao.
"You see, this momentum is pretty good." Tang Hao smiled and said seriously before Tohsaka Rin made further remarks, "Okay, the joke ends here. There is only one thing I want to know now. If Sakura What will you do if you agree to go back to Tosaka's house with you?"
"I...I will probably give up going to the Clock Tower for further studies, but I can't guarantee anything else."
Although Tang Hao had said a lot of bad things about the Clock Tower before, to the young magician, it was still a holy place, just like Peking University and Tsinghua University in the eyes of students. If Tohsaka Rin wants to take a further step in magic and become a great magician who can stand alone, this step is indispensable. At least a magician like her who is almost self-taught still needs the guidance of a famous master.
Even if she is as strong as Aozaki Orange, before entering the Clock Tower, she still had her magician grandfather to give her guidance, and she also had excellent peers like Kuonji Yuju to explore and learn from each other. Working alone behind closed doors will only constrain her own pace.
Tohsaka Rin did not have such conditions. No matter how dedicated Tosaka Tokiomi was to her education, she was still limited by her talent, and it was necessary for her to go out for further study.
And now, she is willing to give up studying in the Clock Tower for her sister. Such a sacrifice is not a big one for a magician.
"Since you have such an awareness, leave the next step to me." Tang Hao nodded, stood up, and walked towards the back room under Tohsaka Rin's unexpected gaze.
After a while, he knocked on Sakura's door.
"elder brother……"
The two sat facing each other, and Sakura's eyes were a little dodgey, probably because she knew why Tang Hao came.
Tang Hao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Do you want to go home?"
Xiaoying paused, lowered her head and fell silent. It was not until a long time later that she raised her head and mustered up the courage to meet Tang Hao's eyes, "Brother, do you want me to go home?"
Tang Hao shook his head, "Those are two things. My thoughts are not the point. Whether you want to go home or not, the key lies in your own thoughts. If you don't want to, then stay, no one will drive you away, if you want to , then go back with your sister. I always feel that a person's life should be decided by himself, whether it is good or bad, others can give opinions, but it is not absolute. Although you are still young, this initiative The power is still in your own hands, and what I say now is just for reference."
"..."
"I know what you are afraid of, but there is one thing I must make clear. You should know that ten years have passed in the world over there, and your parents have died. Whether you are sad or lucky, you are far away now. The person in charge of the Saka family is no longer Tosaka Tokiomi, but your sister. She is different from ordinary magicians. I believe she will not abandon you."
"..."
There was another long period of silence. Tang Hao knew that she was still hesitating, so he didn't rush her and stayed with her silently, waiting for her final decision.
Tang Hao didn't say anything about Tohsaka Rin giving up studying at the Clock Tower, and there was no need to say anything.
Finally, Sakura seemed to have made a decision, looking into Tang Hao's eyes, nodded and said, "I understand, I will go back."
There was reluctance in her eyes, but there was no reluctance.
Tang Hao didn't say good or bad, he just smiled and nodded, because no matter what choice he made, the future was uncertain, and no one could tell which choice was better.
However, everyone's life is based on such choices.
Of course, even if you want to leave, you can't do it right away. At least you have to make some preparations. For example, always say goodbye to Remilia. This is basic courtesy, but there is no rush for this kind of thing.
…
After dealing with the matter of the Tohsaka sisters, Tang Hao also felt a lot more relaxed. The next time was to go to Reimu to pay homage to the mountain, exchange feelings with the big guys in Gensokyo, and receive treatment from Da Ilia. The situation continues to be monitored, of course, but the real focus is back on the chat room.
During this period, Misaka Mikoto and Erza's adventure in the world of One Piece went smoothly. Misaka Mikoto successfully stole Eniro's Thunder Fruit ability, which greatly increased her strength. Although the ability of the stolen fruit is still in its initial stage, and what kind of power it can exert still needs to be developed by herself, the elementalization alone is enough to make her one of the top four idlers in the chat room. Strong position.
As for Misaka Mikoto, she is a user with electrical abilities, so developing the thunder fruit would not be difficult at all.
Erza returned to her own world. She did not get the fruit ability, but she gained knowledge through this adventure, and the shells... The shells on Sky Island are very powerful, such as shock shells, fire shells, and thunder shells. And the most terrifying volley shell, if used well, can play a decisive role in the battle.
All in all, the two of them gained a lot from their adventure.
Of course, some things go well and some things don't.
Yukinoshita: Failed.
The next day, when Tang Hao opened the chat room, he saw Yukino's statement in the public channel, with a melancholy and lost expression.
Later, Kirito and Asuna also appeared on the public channel for the first time in a long time, but they also failed.
These two groups of people followed Tang Hao into the unknown world to take risks, but without exception, they all encountered failure.
Megumi Kato and Yukino entered the everyday world "Everyday" with mysterious power. Putting aside the issue of the style of painting, their mission was very strange to find the lost mystery.
Axon once said, "People who are looking for reality in fictional stories must have something wrong with their brains." This sentence makes some sense, but it doesn't make sense at all, because even fictional stories must conform to the logic of the characters, so Then he was kicked away by Sakata Gintoki and shouted, "I just want to find a sense of reality in fictional stories."
Just like the White Album, this is a fictional story, but the emotions and behavioral logic of the characters are very real. It is precisely because of the reality that it can resonate with people and become an enduring classic... and then be played crazily. stem.
On the contrary, if even the characters' emotions and behavioral logic are fake and illusory, then it can only be a piece of shit.
Of course, there are counterexamples, such as comedy works.
This person looks fake, there is no logic in this matter... Such examples abound in comedy works, but no one cares whether it is true or false, because comedy works do not need to be true, they just need to make people laugh. .
So, let’s get to the bottom of things and ask in the comedy, why does this ordinary person run faster than a car? Why can this girl break a telephone pole with one slap? Why do I think she is stronger than Saiyans? Wait, this seems very stupid.
Are Super 4 Saiyans very strong? Arale slapped each one.
Therefore, it is meaningless to compare the strength value with the characters in comedy works.
And "Everyday" is such a funny work. Looking for mystery in the world of "Everyday"? Your brain is broken!
Obviously, the failure of Kato Megumi and Yukino is normal, after all... they are not accustomed to the local environment. Logically speaking, they should go to the white album.
As for Kirito and Asuna, the world they adventure in is more normal "Big Sword".
"Big Sword" is a relatively old animation. Tang Hao has very little impression of her. He only knows that the male protagonist in it has no sense of existence, and the heroine has a relatively thin sense of existence. Now he even remembers her name. Incredibly, what impressed me the most was the smiling Dinisha, the coquettish Silo Li, and... the guy who killed Dinisha was very annoying.
Even after so many years, Tang Hao still hated that guy very much.
This world is very dark and cruel. Just like "Attack on Titan", life is like an ant, and popular characters can die at any time. But in general, this world is more suitable for Kirito and Asuna, because everyone uses swords. .
However, the mission of the two men is very abnormal, and they must eradicate the Northern Awakener Alliance within a limited time.
The enemies are very strong, numerous, and can play dirty tricks. This is obviously a team mission. Kirito and Asuna's strength really lacks some firepower. Even with Yakumo Murasaki's off-site assistance, in the end Still couldn't finish it.
Because of the return of these two groups of people, the chat room suddenly became lively, but the atmosphere was a bit gloomy. After all, the mission of the chat room had never failed before, but now it has failed. The mood of the person involved is obviously high. Can't get up.
Da Bendan: It doesn’t matter. Just try your best next time.
Tang Hao tried to comfort them.
Da Bendan: In fact, the tasks before upgrading the chat room will suddenly become difficult. Like what I did last time, it is rare to do it.
Kirito: President, the time you mentioned was about coming to Aincrad, right?
Dabendan: Yeah.
Asuna: But you finally finished it, right?
Da Bendan: ...Don’t compare yourself to me.
Kirito: Can it still be like this?
Da Bendan: Otherwise, how could I be your president? And the reason why I succeeded that time was mainly because Kaguya helped me cheat, otherwise this crap book would have been finished before it even hit the shelves.
Everyone:...
Da Bendan: In short, everyone is fine. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. Now that you have found a mother, are you still unable to find a daughter?
Sugar Boy: I suspect you are telling dirty jokes, but I have no proof.
Da Bendan: Hey, why are you bubbling? Is your sports meeting over?
Sugar Boy: Haha, although it’s not over yet, but
Ding dong!
[The symbol of peace joins the two-dimensional chat room]
Symbol of Peace: Is this the chat room that Mr. Sakata mentioned? There are quite a few people, haha, my name is All Might, you don’t have to worry about anything else, why, because I’m here!
