Anime: The younger brother of the Sawada family

Chapter 102 Abe Haruaki - Part 1

"Brother! I'm going to visit some colleagues today and will be back in the evening."

Hearing Tsunayoshi yawning and coming down the stairs, Yae, who was changing shoes at the entrance, said without even looking up, immediately driving away the other's sleepiness.

"Colleagues?" Tsunayoshi asked doubtfully, "Shinsen?"

"Yeah." After changing her shoes and tapping her toes, Miyin stood up and smiled at him, "By the way, I'll go find him and ask for some more talisman paper."

Talisman paper? Isn't that...

"Abe Seimei?!"

Just as Tsunayoshi was about to continue asking, he looked up and found that the door had just closed and his brother was nowhere to be seen.

I also want to ask him if I can get an autograph!

……

Before the store opened, Yayin picked up the things she had ordered the day before from the kitchen on the first floor. After entering the Honmaru, she directly took out a light red transparent card from a box in a corner of the castle tower room. It was exactly the same as the one given to Tsunayoshi and Reborn. If you look closely, you can find a string of transparent and colorless numbers in the lower right corner, which is the number of the Honmaru.

Each Honmaru has its own unique number, for example, Yaon’s is 007209, and the number on his hand is 000031.

There was another stack of the same light red cards in the box, placed in small grids. There were about ten cards of each type. They were all given to him by his Shinsengumi friends. The other party also had his cards.

Holding the card, he greeted the swords as he passed by the courtyard, then pushed open the entrance door again and walked in.

Unlike the corridor on the second floor of the store, and also unlike the blue sky and grass here, the first thing you see when you enter is a huge courtyard. On the left side of the courtyard, there is a huge cherry tree formed by spiritual power. It remains in full bloom all year round, and the fallen petals disappear immediately when they touch the ground. There are also several little paper people in the courtyard who are sweeping the floor with small brooms. When they find someone coming to the door, they look over with their eyes.

"Hello~" Miyin stood at the door with a smile and raised her hand to greet them.

One of the little paper figures with a square scarf around its neck dropped the broom, ran inside with its short legs, and went to report the situation to its owner.

The white-haired boy, who had sensed the other person's entry the moment he entered, walked out. He was hit on the calf by the little paper man and was pinched up by two fingers. His short legs kicked twice, then drooped down as if giving up.

With the appearance of the young man, countless pairs of eyes suddenly appeared in various parts of the courtyard, observing secretly. If someone else were here, they would probably be scared to fall down on the spot. These eyes were single and many, and looked very strange, but there was no malice in them, only curiosity about strangers.

"You're here." The white-haired boy walked slowly towards him, smiled faintly at him, squatted down slightly and put the little paper man back on the ground.

"Huh? You're using this appearance today." Miyin looked down at the other person without any pressure, "Not bad."

"That's what you wish for, my friend." The young man put the folding fan to his lips and gently covered his face, his eyes full of smiles.

The boy had slightly long temples and waist-length white hair gathered behind his back with a hairband. Although his face was childish, he had a calm and mature air, which seemed a bit contradictory, yet very appropriate. His eyes were slightly raised with a hint of red. He was wearing a white and purple hunting suit, with a platinum tasseled amulet on his waist. He held a slightly open folding fan in his hand, which had a black background and a painting of a white crane with spread wings.

This is what Abe Harumi looked like when he was young, and this is also his current appearance.

Unlike other Shinsengumi who can go to their own worlds, Abe Haruaki can only move within the scope of the Time Government. His original physical body has long dissipated in the heaven and earth of his original plane of existence. What appears here now is just a trace of spiritual energy condensed into a physical entity. To be honest, it is actually no different from the physical bodies of the swords.

This is his own choice, and it is his own decision to stay here like this.

Therefore, Abe Haruaki's Honmaru is somewhat different from other places. It is directly connected to his spirit and can change at any time according to his thoughts. His appearance is also the same. It can be that of a young man or a young adult.

It is said that this courtyard was where he lived the longest in his life and it was also where he and his companions gathered.

"Here, this is made by my cat." Miyin took out the shrunken incubator from her pocket, restored it to its original size and handed it over, "Consider it a visiting gift."

"Thank you very much, my friend." Qingming took it and handed it to the little paper people who had been waiting for a long time below.

This group of little paper figures, who looked like they could be blown away by the wind, raised their hands, held up the insulated box from the bottom, and ran into the room with their short legs.

"You're here anyway. How about coming in for a cup of tea?" Qingming closed the paper fan in his hand and gestured slightly sideways.

"Okay, I just miss the tea made by Xiaobai." Miyin stepped up decisively and stepped into the house.

There are cherry trees on the left side of the courtyard, and on the right side is where they live. From the surface, it is just a small house, but as soon as you enter, you will find that the house behind is surprisingly large. After passing through the front hall, there is an atrium, surrounded by a string of residential bungalows. The only second floor is Qingming's exclusive castle tower, surrounded by bungalows on all sides.

At this moment, there is a large group of people and monsters playing in the courtyard. They are all Qingming's contracted Shikigami. At present, the other party has nearly a thousand contracted Shikigami, but most of them like to be in other places. Only a few Shikigami and his swords will stay quietly in the yard.

Simply put, in the entire Honmaru, only Yaon can be considered a purebred human.

Miyin: (*^▽^*) Hehe~

"Xiaobai, there are guests." Qingming's faint voice sounded.

A large group of people and monsters playing in the yard suddenly fell silent for a moment and all looked over here. The scene was a bit scary for a moment. Some monsters who had never seen each other whispered to their colleagues. Among them was a young boy with animal ears, white hair and red eyes, wearing a red and white outfit, and a mask on his head. He ran over barefoot, with a big tail swinging behind him, looking very touchable.

"Huh? It's you." The young boy named Xiaobai walked closer, sniffed at Miyin, and then showed a silly smile.

"Long time no see." Miyin greeted him with a smile, accepting the various gazes in the courtyard well.

"Little boy, why haven't you come to see your sister for so long?" The enchanting woman sitting on the stone bench next to her looked back and smiled seductively, with three big red tails behind her wrapping her whole body.

"I've been busy lately, so here I am~" Miyin, who was immune to her charm, replied with a smile.

"He's still young, three-tailed fox." Qingming said.

"It was just a joke, Lord Qingming." The black-haired woman in red named Three-tailed Fox smiled and put away her charm. The enchanting atmosphere disappeared in an instant. Even without the filter, she was still a beautiful woman with a gorgeous appearance.

"Let's go to the reception room." Knowing that there were too many people and monsters here, Qingming tapped his paper fan and led the way. "Xiaobai, prepare the tea."

"Okay, Lord Qingming." After answering, Xiaobai immediately ran forward and left first.

Miyin responded to the demons in the courtyard who smiled and greeted him one by one, and slowly followed the white-haired boy.
