For some reason, the miasma and Shikigami that were everywhere in the forbidden area had disappeared without a trace.
Rozen walked on the trail that he had some memories of, and he was also a little nostalgic.
All those years ago, in order to defeat a Smokesnake, Rozen joined forces with Raizen and the others, and only then did they succeed in defeating it.
Now, if a Shikigami like Yama appeared in front of Rozen, it would probably be destroyed in one move.
"There were many Yama that I summoned in the Night of One Hundred Demons, and so did the Mountain God."
So Rozen came to the shrine in the forbidden area while recalling the past.
In the past, Izanagi left the keepsake here and let a Shikigami like Yama guard it.
Later, the shrine was blown to pieces along with Yama and fell in the sea of fire.
However, when he came here again, Rozen found that the shrine was rebuilt.
And in front of the shrine, there was a girl in a Miko costume dancing.
"Jingle!"
This was the sound of the bell in the girl's hand.
The young girl was holding a dance ribbon with two large bells on both ends, and she was dancing gracefully and gracefully.
"Jingle — Jingle — Jingle —"
The bell was rhythmically ringing with the girl's dance steps, it was so beautiful and pleasant.
Looking at this scene, Rozen unconsciously froze and lost his ability to respond.
In the forest where there was no miasma and no Shikigami, the boy and the girl were separated from each other, one was looking at the other and the other was dancing.
This scene lasted for an unknown period of time before it came to an end.
The girl stopped her dance and looked at Rozen and slowly opened her eyes.
The boy and the girl immediately looked at each other and didn't look away.
"Rozen -sama."
Hina's eyes rippled and called in a low voice.
"Hina."
Rozen also called the girl's name.
After so many days, the two of them were finally reunited in a true sense.
But the two of them didn't know what to say. They just stared at each other in a daze, their hearts filled with all sorts of emotions.
After a while …
"I'm sorry to invite you here."
Hina apologized first and bowed to Rozen.
"… No, I should thank you for giving me a chance to say goodbye."
Rozen was silent for a while, then smiled and shook his head. That's what Hyuga meant.
Hina seemed to know that Rozen was about to leave, and her face showed sadness.
But soon, Hina calmed down.
"Hina has become the leader of Izanagi clan." Hinowa said, "Although the name 'Izanagi' has been abandoned, the people still elected the Tumen family as the main family, and made me the leader of the family."
"Is that so?" Rozen sighed and said, "Haven't you ever thought of letting someone else do it so you can relax?"
"Yes." Hina raised her eyes and said softly: "Even if Grandmother made a mistake, Izanagi clan will join the Akabane clan sooner or later. Before that, Hina wants to do her duty and let the people regain their confidence."
After the last dispute, the people of Izanagi clan were greatly affected. It was said that all of them were depressed, and some of them couldn't live a normal life anymore.
That appearance was very similar to the two months when Hinata returned to the Izanagi Clan.
Perhaps it was because of that that Hina wanted to lead the clan and let the people cheer up.
"Now that things have come to this, Hina only hopes that the Akabane clan and Izanagi can put aside their past grievances, truly become one clan, protect the country together, and live in harmony."
Ri uttered such an insignificant wish.
"Don't worry." Rozen gave a promise and said: "Fuzi is a very capable and gentle child. He will treat Izanagi equally and treat them as his own people."
"Is that so?" Hina's face relaxed and murmured: "Then Hina can rest assured."
As soon as the words fell, silence filled the air again.
Looking at Hina who didn't know what to say, Rozen finally opened his mouth.
"Do you hate me?"
In the end, Rozen still asked this question.
Hina seemed to be prepared and shook her head.
"Hina doesn't hate Rozen -sama."
Hina gave her own answer.
"Why?" Rozen looked straight at Hina and said: "Not only did I cause you to lose your family, but I also disregarded the relationship between you and Izanagi. Izanagi will no longer exist. Do you really not hate me?"
Rozen's words made Hina lower her head as if she was recalling what happened before.
But Hina still said it firmly.
"Even so, I don't hate Rozen -sama."
Hina frankly expressed her feelings.
"Grandmother committed suicide to atone for her sins, while Izanagi was destined to face this calamity. That's why the omen appeared. As the saying goes, there must be a cause and effect. Everything originated from Izanagi. Red Feather was just a fish in the moat because of the omen, so it's natural for us to pay the price. This is also what our people think."
Hinowa looked straight at Rozen, and said solemnly without the slightest hesitation.
"Although Hina is sad, she has never resented Rozen -sama. Her feelings for Rozen -sama will never change."
Saying so, Hina took out something from her arms.
It was the token of love that Rozen returned to her.
"Rozen -sama."
Hinowa clenched the ribbon with the bells on it and mustered up her courage to speak.
"I hope you can accept it again."
This was the purpose of Hina inviting Rozen.
Rozen had already guessed it when he saw Hina take out the ribbon.
But …
"Can I still accept it?"
Rozen smiled bitterly.
"Of course." Hina answered without hesitation. "It will always belong to Rozen -sama."
Saying so, Hina came to Rozen, took a deep breath, and held the ribbon in front of Rozen.
Rozen looked at the ribbon in front of him, and then looked at Hina who was looking straight at him. From Hina's eyes, he clearly saw a trace of anxiety, a trace of expectation.
This made Rozen silent for a long time again.
"Phew …"
After a while, Rozen let out a sigh of relief, showed a faint smile to Hina, stretched out his hand, and took the ribbon.
Seeing this scene, Hina couldn't help but burst into tears.
Because it meant that the relationship between the two would not change. They would still love each other as before.
No, after all the twists and turns, their feelings for each other must have reached a whole new level, right?
"I will wait for you to come back, Rozen -sama."
Hina gave such a promise.
"Mmm."
Rozen nodded, and the smile on his face was full of relief and joy.
In this way, Rozen really had nothing to worry about.
On this day, Rozen left this world with a completely relieved heart.
His goal, the last place that he regretted.
