After observing the battle, the pillars were all thoughtful.
The other side of the dojo.
A somewhat tired Tomioka Giyuu put down his wooden sword and rested against the wall.
At this time.
Tread, step.
A soft voice sounded along with the footsteps.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki subconsciously looked up.
After seeing the person clearly, his expression froze.
"Mr. Tomioka?"
The butterfly ninja took a few steps and stood next to Tomioka Giyu. He leaned slightly sideways and stuck his head out, looking at him doubtfully, with a hint of anger in his tone:
"Why didn't you listen to me before and stay in Butterfly House to recuperate?"
"Even Zhu can't perform tasks while he's injured..."
She raised her head and tried her best to look at Tomioka Giyu, who was turning his head away from her:
"I don't need to explain this rule any more...?"
Butterfly Shinobu smiled.
But this smile made Tomioka Yoshiyuki, who turned his head sideways, feel slightly ashamed.
Even the bad-tempered Immortal River will stay in Butterfly House for treatment. Butterfly Shinobu can't think of any reason why Tomioka Giyuu doesn't want to stay.
After a while.
As if he couldn't avoid the butterfly ninja's gaze, Tomioka Giyu looked sideways, his tone unchanged:
"My injuries are no longer serious..."
Butterfly Ren was stunned for a moment.
Then he came to his senses and tilted his head with a smile:
"?"
She stretched out a finger and poked Tomioka Yoshiyuki's outer thigh with great precision.
Poof!
Tomioka Giyu's face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing this, Butterfly Ninja became more convinced of his idea.
From the moment she observed the battle, she felt something was wrong.
"Hey, Mr. Tomioka." She smiled, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she felt her forehead jump:
"If the injury has healed..."
"...What's going on?"
Tomioka Yiyong tilted his head tremblingly and did not answer.
…
…
Under the practical training of Tanjuro and Beimingyu in turns.
The week-long training passed quickly.
Surprisingly, in just one week, Youzhu did successfully open the transparent world, but he was not yet proficient in mastering it.
——Yinzhu·Yusui Tianyuan.
——And Snake Pillar Iguro Kobanai.
at the same time.
The final selection, which also lasted seven days, also came to an end.
The team members who pass the selection, as well as the team members who give up midway, will be brought to the Butterfly House for treatment and cultivation.
now.
Butterfly House.
Tomioka Giyuu sat in the courtyard, sitting quietly and motionless under the instructions of Butterfly Ninja.
I heard that Mr. Lintaki was helping in Butterfly House, but he was not seen.
Perhaps because he stayed for too long, Lintaki Sa had recently left Butterfly House and returned to Saagiri Mountain.
The dark blue eyes were looking somewhere.
"You survived too...that's great..."
The team members who passed by to support each other either hugged each other and cried, or limped into the butterfly house.
Under the care of Butterfly House, Zenitsu, who had long since recovered, was standing at the door of Butterfly House with a head of yellow hair, nervously looking at the people passing by:
"That, that!" His voice was a little timid. He looked at a person passing by him and stretched out his hand slightly:
"Did you see a swordsman with black hair, a magatama around his neck, and the use of Thunder Breath..."
"A little taller than me, with thick eyebrows..."
Shanyi's eyes trembled slightly, perhaps because his voice was too weak, and the people passing by did not pay attention to him:
"Has anyone seen him..."
He has been waiting here all morning.
The hope in my heart gradually dropped from the expectation, and my voice gradually became smaller:
"please tell me…"
Watching another scarred swordsman walking past him, Zenitsu lowered his hands in despair, his frown trembling.
Because Grandpa couldn't wait any longer, he had already stood on the road ahead of the Butterfly House and waited.
Senior brother Yuyue...
Zenitsu's fists slowly clenched, and his eyes became a little red unconsciously.
Although Zhuo Yue is usually very strict with himself, it is because he really cannot learn other sword styles.
Deep down in his heart, Zenitsu still admires this senior brother who trains very hard.
The master also often allows himself to learn from his senior brother.
But...it's already noon, and the senior brother still hasn't come back...
Could it be...
Just when my wife Zenitsu thought of some bad consequences, her face gradually turned pale.
"…you."
A hoarse female voice sounded beside him, and the person stumbled, barely holding on to the stone next to him.
Upon hearing this, Shanyi quickly looked up.
before.
The girl with short twin tails, but a tired look on her face and a dazed look in her eyes, was holding her knife against the ground, barely standing.
It's Aoi Kanzaki.
She gasped, frowned, and raised her head tremblingly:
"...The person you are talking about."
"Have you seen it?" Upon seeing this, Zenitsu showed a trace of anxiety on his anxious face, and he quickly helped him.
He was about to continue asking, but after noticing the other person's state, he swallowed his doubts instantly and spoke in a panic:
"It's okay, why don't you go and rest first..."
Kanzaki Aoi shook her head. She was helped to stand and tried her best to say:
"Teng Xishan... there is a big ghost..."
The moment she finished speaking.
Tomioka Giyu, who was sitting not far away and had been in a daze, suddenly twitched his ears twice.
He also looked here, and his eyes that had been dull suddenly became serious.
"I...I heard it, he ate fifty people..." Kanzaki Aoi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and she said intermittently:
"When I saw him... there was a man wearing a magatama around his neck... who was being chased by him..."
After saying this.
Kanzaki Aoi rolled her eyes and collapsed weakly.
My wife Zenitsu, who was in a daze when he heard this, was suddenly startled. He looked down at the collapsed Kanzaki Aoi and subconsciously shouted:
"Ah!!" He turned his head suddenly, looked to the left and right, and staggered to help Kanzaki Aoi:
"Is there anyone! Who is here! Someone has passed out here!"
…
at the same time.
Creaking…
The door on the first floor of the butterfly house was pushed open, and the butterfly ninja walked out from behind the door.
She smiled and was holding the medicine prepared for Tomioka Giyu:
"Mr. Tomioka." Butterfly Ninja raised his head and looked into the courtyard: "The medicine has been prepared..."
But Giyu Tomioka, who was supposed to be sitting on the stone, was nowhere to be found at this moment.
——?
Expansion!
The smiling butterfly ninja grabbed the liquid medicine in the test tube in his hand.
Veins popped out faintly on his forehead.
…
"Just leave it to us. Thank you for your hard work."
After Zenitsu shouted, members of the Ariakin team quickly rushed out of the butterfly room and quickly carried the unconscious Kanzaki Aoi on his back.
And quickly rushed to the inside of the Butterfly House.
Zenitsu watched the retreating figures of the hidden members and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But suddenly, he remembered what Kanzaki Aoi said just now.
He turned and looked in the direction outside the butterfly house door.
But there——there was no swordsman coming this way.
He froze.
He stood there, like a stone, waiting in a daze for a long time.
