"hey-hey…"
Yuhu looked at Wuhan expectantly, explaining his discovery in his heart - he didn't want others to take away his credit.
Although he also 'robbed' this information from other ghosts.
Wuhan stared at Yu Hu's clear yellow pupils, and read the other person's inner thoughts.
This thought came to his mind.
...Knife Forging Village?
——Going to die?
But after he glanced at Tong Mo who was about to move, he thought for a moment and answered perfunctorily:
"...If the news is true, I will go with Hantengu."
After saying that, Wu Kuai waved his hand gently.
Bang!
Naru Nu understood, she brushed her hand over the lute, and suddenly a wooden door with bright light appeared under all the lutes.
"...Huh?" The wooden door under the head of the jade pot suddenly opened, revealing a room full of pots outside. He subconsciously glanced down.
With only his head left, he fell straight down.
Yiwozuo lowered his head and looked at the wooden door that suddenly appeared under him. He was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned and could no longer hold back.
He suddenly raised his head and shouted at Wuhan:
"Master Wuhan!"
"Please let me come with you -"
Before he could finish speaking.
Creak——!
The wooden door under him suddenly opened, and Yiwozao's body that was about to stand up suddenly fell into the air and fell directly out of the infinite city.
Wu Kuan turned sideways slightly and glanced at the position where the Yiwo seat fell.
it's useless.
All frontal attacks are in vain.
Now, the only way out.
——It’s the blue Hibiscus flower.
His bright red eyes gradually became firm.
…
…
outside world.
The streets of the city.
The pale moonlight fell on the blood-stained street, and an embarrassed figure was slowly crawling along the street.
My name is Mizuki Na, I am 17 years old and an ordinary photo studio apprentice.
Just now, I encountered the greatest shock in my life——
"...Leave here, leave here." The girl holding the box tremblingly used her fingers to support the glasses she found among the body parts, and slowly climbed out of the martial arts hall:
"What is that..." he said to himself with a trembling mouth.
Thinking back to the "person" who punched the pink eyelash next to him just now.
Mizuna was frightened for a while, and subconsciously tightened the box in her arms.
What she held in her arms was a camera temporarily borrowed from the photo studio, a relatively portable model of this era.
At this moment, she was holding her breath, her face was pale, resisting the desire to vomit, and kept crawling outside.
As for why I was climbing - my legs were weak and I couldn't stand up.
At this time.
The entrance to the martial arts hall.
Swish——
boom!
The Yiwo seat that had just disappeared fell from mid-air again and hit the ground hard.
Dust is everywhere.
Yiwo Zuo lowered his head and stared angrily at the ground. His face was extremely gloomy. He could not help but clenched his fists and remained motionless.
It seemed to be frozen for a long time.
Behind him, Mizuna, who was holding the box, also froze for a long time.
Yiwozu's breathing gradually became faster, and veins clung to his obvious muscles:
Creaking…
"Winding one...!"
"How dare you...die like this!"
"asshole!"
Yi Wo Zuo raised his head, his wide-eyed pupils reflected the moon and the word "二" engraved on it.
Just when Yi Wo Zuo raised his head and muttered angrily to himself.
behind him.
“…!!”
The livid-faced Mizuna was so frightened that she sat paralyzed at the door of the martial arts hall.
Her limbs were covered with greasy blood and small pieces of body tissue, and she looked at the sudden appearance of Yiwozao in horror.
His pupils were trembling violently, and he opened his mouth but couldn't scream.
--Why?
——Why did you suddenly appear? Didn’t you leave? !
Her hand holding the box-like camera was shaking slightly. Under the moonlight, the glasses on her face were half broken.
——I just mustered up the courage to climb out of that pile of corpses!
——As soon as I went out, I met this guy falling from the sky!
——I, I am just an apprentice in a photo studio!
Maybe it was fear, or maybe his hands were shaking.
The box camera that had been prepared to take pictures of the martial arts school students was accidentally touched by her trembling hand.
Expansion!
With a slight sound.
I took a photo of Yi Wo Zuo’s back.
In the quiet night, the sound of the camera was so clearly audible.
! !
Mizuna held the camera and leaned against the wall of the martial arts gym. Her heart was instantly shattered and her body was completely frozen in place.
"...Ah." The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she looked to the ground aside with a despairing heart, feeling extremely regretful:
"...It's over."
This damn camera...should not have been rescued...
But the good thing is.
Yi Wo Zuo just turned his head slightly and glanced at her.
Uh-huh!
Then it turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.
…
…
It wasn't until early the next morning that the girl covered in blood was found unconscious in front of the martial arts gym.
…
The next day.
early morning.
Butterfly House.
The children were not in the courtyard at the moment - they went to play in the nearby Purgatory home with Mitsuri Kanroji, who also had a childlike heart, and Kobanai Iguro, who said she was worried about following along.
Therefore, Tanjuro and Aoi Eda had a rare space for two people. They were sitting together in the corridor at the moment, enjoying the tranquility of the morning.
"Kanjuro."
"Um?"
"Is it really okay for us to just...stay at someone else's place all the time?" Kui Zhi turned her head, her eyes a little worried, and staying here for a long time made her feel uncomfortable:
"Although it helps, but..."
"It's okay." Tanjuro shook his head. He held Kuizhi's hand and comforted her: "We have done enough."
At this time.
The dark crows circled in the sky, and then swooped towards the courtyard:
"Gah! Kamado Tanjuro!"
Suddenly flapping its wings, the crow landed in the corridor of Butterfly House and shouted to Tanjuro who was sitting with Aoi Eda in the courtyard:
"Here's your reply!"
After hearing this, Kuizhi loosened her grip on Tanjuro's hand, and pointed at the bird:
"Quick, there's a crow looking for you."
"Okay." Tanjuro smiled and nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at the crow and stretched out his hand towards it:
"Is this a reply from Uyashiki?"
"Yeah, that's right."
A few days ago, he did write a letter to Ubuyashiki Yōya.
The general content of the letter is - he wants a durable Nichirin sword.
And, I want a raven.
The reason for wanting a raven is simple.
——He wanted to try to see if he could use the paper figurine he had obtained before to release a ninjutsu similar to the 'Mist Crow'.
The crow clattered to Tanjuro, jumped onto his hand, took off the paper tied to his leg, and handed it to Tanjuro:
"Gah!"
It explains:
"As you requested, from now on, I will be your Diya Crow!"
"My name is Gopachiro! Please give me your advice!"
Tanjuro's hand that had just opened the envelope was slightly stiff. He glanced at the bird and asked again with some doubts:
"Sorry, what's your name...?"
"Gopachiro! Karma!" The bird spread its wings and answered Tanjuro: "What's the matter, Mr. Kamado?"
"...No, it's okay." Tanjuro looked a little surprised. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the bird's head with his fingers, and shook his head.
——The name he casually gave Heishimou was also called Gopachiro.
After staring at the bird for a while, Tanjuro turned his attention to the letter.
"What's written?" Kui Zhi leaned over slightly and looked at the contents of the envelope.
Then he whispered softly:
"...invite...to the Knife Forging Village..."
