soon.
Mingming Island Residence.
"That's great, Sayo."
Senjuro sat on the threshold. He smiled and looked at Sayo standing next to him, looking into the distance:
"Mr. Weimingyu is indeed a gentle person."
beside.
"Yes." Sayo looked far away. She took a deep breath, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and lowered her head.
He looked at Senjuro with a smile:
"Thanks."
Hear the words.
Qian Juro was startled for a moment, then slowly withdrew his eyes. He lowered his head, shook his head slowly, and murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear:
"No...I want to thank you."
After helping Sayo, I saw the two people hugging each other and crying, a moment of mixed emotions.
Chijuro, who was only twelve years old, finally emerged from the shadow of his mother's early death and his father's decadence.
——Even if he is not capable of becoming a swordsman, he can still help others.
I did it.
The fists were slowly clenched.
After actually doing it, the emotions surging inside are indescribable.
"Eh? Did you say something?"
Sayo tilted his head in confusion. She didn't hear clearly, and leaned down, with her hair hanging down, slightly draped over Senjuro's side.
"Nothing at all."
Senjuro answered with a soft smile.
After talking to Sayo for a long time, the confusion and suspicion that once existed in Mingyuyu's heart gradually dissipated.
Above the eaves, a few wisps of clouds were floating in the blue sky.
Inside the quaint, temple-like house.
"Namo."
Bei Mingyu turned his back to the door, his strong body squatting on the ground, tears streaming down his cheeks, and his tone was extremely sad:
"Ah...ah...I'm sorry..."
He held the food in his generous hands and mixed it with water to prepare the cat's meal:
"It's me who really uses myself to save others..."
He clasped his hands together, holding the beads, and sat quietly in front of the cat food for a while.
The tears that flowed almost soaked the clothes.
After repenting in his heart for having maliciously speculated on the children, he looked aside and whispered:
"Meow...it's time to eat..."
But after calling for a while, the white cat still didn't appear.
Just as Weimingyu looked towards the white cat's nest in confusion.
His movements faltered.
A clear field of vision opens up unconsciously.
A strange-looking cat that could not be seen by ordinary people was currently lying in the white cat's nest, snoring comfortably.
The white cat was lying in the corner timidly, looking at its nest with unintelligent eyes.
There is obviously nothing in the nest, but it was scratched in the past.
This is so strange!
The white cat's little mind couldn't think about such a problem.
When Weimingyu saw this, he was stunned for a moment.
At this time.
In his clear vision.
The strange cat named "Chachawan" got up, stretched, then sniffed the ground and strolled towards this side.
Under the gaze of Weimingyu, Chachawan looked casual.
As it slowly approaches the food bowl.
Snapped!
Stretch out your hand and pick it up from the ground!
"Meow!!" Chachawan's eyes widened in fright. The note on his neck glowed desperately, but it had no effect.
He is obviously in a state of invisibility!
Until Wei Mingyu lifted it up and looked at each other with white eyes.
Chachawan was confused for a moment.
"...the breath of ghosts, the blood ghost technique...?" Wei Mingyu raised the tea ball with both hands, and he felt the breath on it carefully.
I was extremely confused.
——What kind of ghost... would cast a vampire spell on a cat.
then.
In Chachawan's increasingly frightened eyes,
Bah!
Wei Mingyu stretched out his hand and tore off the note from its neck!
Chachawan was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened. He tried his best to stretch out his paws and screamed miserably for the first time:
"Meow--!!"
That was a medium given by Yushiro that allowed the cat to perform vampire magic.
Without this paper, no matter how smart Chachawan is, he is just an ordinary cat.
Bah, bah.
After completely tearing the note into pieces and making sure that there was no ghost scent on it, Weimingyu put down Chachawan with confidence.
Chachawan fell to the ground and did not move.
He just stared blankly at the scraps of paper on the ground.
——There is no hope for meow life.
"Let's eat…"
Wei Mingyu rubbed its head with his generous hands, and then recited the sutra in a deep voice.
He paid attention to the small leather bag behind Chachawan, but there was no ghost smell in it.
There are only two test tubes and a piece of paper.
"Meow." The white cat came over cautiously and found that Chachawan was unresponsive.
Then he cradled Chachawan's neck with his head to please him.
In Chachamaru's eyes, the regret and despair gradually expanded.
Snap.
Fragrant cat food was placed in front of it.
…
"...Does Teacher Beimingyu have two cats?"
Sayo poked his head into the room curiously.
She looked at Chachamaru and Shiromao who were immersed in cooking.
"...Eh?" Qian Shourou also poked his head and scratched his head in confusion.
He remembered - the last time he came here, there was only one.
…
…
Butterfly House.
in the yard,
"Is this guy human?"
"right."
Inosuke was still lying on the ground unconscious.
"The injury is really serious, the ribs are all broken."
Several hermits surrounded him, whispering.
At this time.
The position after stealth.
boom!
"Finally..." Wuichiro staggered, and with a dull sound, he rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
In front of him was a box containing a doll called "Yuan-10 Type" that was finally pushed up from the mountain.
"...we...did it..."
Ichiro leaned weakly next to the box. He raised his hand tremblingly and gave a slow high-five to Muichiro who was lying on the ground beside him.
Snap.
Under the morning sunshine, the two brothers' palms touched each other.
The two of them maintained this movement, like a sculpture.
Father Weilang was lying quietly in the cart. If it weren't for the gentle rise and fall of his chest, everyone would have thought he was going to die.
At this time.
It seems that because the box was erected by Ichiro, the vertical door slowly opened.
Creak——
The appearance of the doll inside was revealed.
Six Nichirin swords are neatly placed beside the doll.
And this scene.
He happened to be seen by Kamado's family who had just stepped down from the second floor and looked towards the courtyard.
"Oh!" Zhuxiong rubbed his sleepy eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the puppet in surprise:
"It's dad!"
"Really!" Hearing this, Mao, who was being held by Zhuxiong, suddenly raised his head and looked forward, taking a general look with his hazy eyes.
Tanjuro, who was sitting on the roof, stumbled suddenly.
"Dad——!!" Shigeru looked like he had just woken up. He broke away from Takeo's hand and ran towards the doll with his hands open.
While running, he jumped off the roof and walked through the corridor, twisting his body flexibly through training.
But as he got closer to the doll, his newly awakened head gradually became clearer.
At close enough.
After being able to clearly see the damaged face of the doll and the gap between its neck:
"Dad-ho!"
Mao's tone and expression suddenly changed. He stopped the car suddenly, blinked his eyes, and looked at the puppet with a pale face.
His arms, which almost stopped the car, staggered and he waved twice to keep his balance.
The gap between the joints, half of the face with only the eyeballs left...
"...Eh." He took half a step back as if he couldn't believe it, and felt a chill in his heart.
——Is this dad?
At this time.
Tanjuro, who had been sitting on the roof, slowly walked over and reached out to hug the frightened Shigeru.
Let him sit on his shoulder and comfort him:
"rest assured."
Tanjuro patted Shigeru's head gently:
"It's just a doll."
Hear the words.
Shigeru was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Tanjuro: "Dad?"
He looked at the puppet again.
My mind was a little confused for a while.
Tap tap tap.
At this time, Zhuxiong and Midouzi also rushed over.
After hearing Tanjuro's explanation, they all looked at the doll curiously.
"...If you look closely, only the features are somewhat similar. It's not my father's face at all."
Hanako looked at the doll's appearance carefully. She crossed her arms, puffed up her face and said angrily:
"Whoever made the doll looks nothing like it!"
"That's right." Mao echoed from the side, as if to regain the place where he was frightened just now.
"Ah, ah, ah." Kuizhi held Hanako's hand and looked at Yuan-Zero from left to right with a look of surprise:
"sharp."
From time to time, he would look back at Tanjuro, as if he was making some comparison.
"It's not my doll."
Tanjuro smiled helplessly, and his eyes slowly moved to the Tokito brothers who were lying down tiredly.
——The Yuan-00 was moved here.
The time it takes to get here from the new location of Forging Knife Village is definitely longer than one night.
Not to mention carrying such a heavy object.
After thinking for a moment, Tanjuro came to the result.
——Did Jiguo Iwakatsu do it?
at this time.
"Gah! Karma!"
A crow fluttered its wings, shouted loudly, and then landed in front of Tanjuro:
"Gah! Mr. Kamado!"
It shook its head: "I am the resident Eagle Crow of Knife Forging Village, and I am here to deliver the news about Mr. Tie Qiao!"
As he spoke, the bird imitated a tone of extreme sadness and anger:
"Mr. Kamado! Do you still remember the [Yuan-Zero Type] last time!"
It gritted its teeth and imitated, and there were even tears twinkling in its eyes:
"Someone actually stole it this time!"
"That's my family heirloom!!"
"I asked everyone in the village, but no one admitted it!"
"Mr. Kamado, my strength alone is too weak. If you are free, please come to the Sword Forging Village."
The bird's head suddenly came closer, and its tone became eerie:
"I must make that thief pay the price!!"
After speaking, it retracted its head and its tone became normal:
"above."
"Mr. Tieqiao misses you very much, Mr. Kamado."
After it said its last words.
yard.
There was silence.
Yin, Takeo, Aoi Chi, Hanako, Tanjuro.
Even Tokitou Ichiro's frightened eyes stayed on the body of the bird.
Tanjuro's eyes were calm, he retracted his eyes and slowly looked at the doll standing in the courtyard.
Ding Ya subconsciously followed Tanjuro's gaze.
After seeing the appearance of the doll.
The bird was silent.
…
…
at the same time.
In a town far away from Butterfly House.
In front of the drug store.
Three girls wearing butterfly-shaped headdresses are standing here.
There is also a backpack as tall as a person on the ground.
Seemingly seeing the faintly exposed hilts of knives at the waists of the three men, the pedestrians passing by looked like they had seen a ghost and quickly walked around.
"Lord Shinobu, all the medicinal materials you want to buy are ready."
Kanzaki Aoi counted the items in her heavy backpack. She raised her head and looked at the Butterfly Ninja behind her with longing eyes.
Butterfly Ninja's smile was reflected in his blue eyes.
——As expected of Shinobu-sama!
After traveling for so long, I don’t feel tired at all!
He lowered his head silently and looked at his calloused hands.
Although he is not much older than himself, he is able to manage the huge Butterfly House with such ease.
amazing!
She cheered up and secretly encouraged herself to become someone like Shinobu-sama in the future.
"Um."
Butterfly Ninja looked at the pedestrians passing by the street. She smiled and nodded to Kanzaki Aoi:
"Thank you for your hard work. You came all this way with me just for this medicine."
"Thanks."
Hear the words.
Kanzaki Aoi's face suddenly turned red. She quickly leaned back and stretched out her hands to shake:
"No, no! Where!"
"This is what I should do!"
Noticing her gaffe, Kanzaki Aoi quickly lowered her head and straightened her hair.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he also noticed Lihua Luokanahu, who had been standing aside but never spoke.
She was slightly startled.
Along the way, Kanzaki Aoi also noticed this somewhat "strange" girl.
He never speaks, and he just smiles when chatting.
She only acts when Shinobu-sama speaks.
Kanzaki Aoi looked at Chanahu, and she blinked.
If the Butterfly Ninja is the boss, then Chanel is...
——Companion?
After her family was killed by ghosts, she desperately longed for the existence of companions.
now.
Chanel had her hair tied in a side ponytail. Her expression was calm, even a little sluggish, just staring ahead and standing there.
In his hand, he was fidgeting with a coin.
Sudden.
Snap.
Kanzaki Aoi walked forward unconsciously, reached out to take Shanahu's hand, and held it slightly.
In Chanel's doubtful eyes.
Kanzaki Aoi's face gradually turned red.
--Oops! Unknowingly, I treat Chanel as my younger sister in the family!
"Yes! I'm sorry!!" She closed her eyes and bowed fiercely to apologize.
Chanel didn't say anything, just smiled.
It seems the time has come.
"Well, that's almost it."
Butterfly Ninja glanced at the two of them with a smile. She turned sideways and stood on tiptoe slightly:
"Let's go, it's time to go back to Butterfly House."
"You guys must be exhausted after being out for so long."
Hear the words.
Shannahu raised her feet and was about to leave.
At this time.
On the side of the road, a bald but tall man suddenly saw the butterfly trio.
His squinted eyes suddenly opened.
Beautiful woman - the leader's request has been fulfilled.
Thinking in his mind, he quickly stepped over and stretched out his hand to stop Lixiang Nahu:
"Hey - wait, this little sister."
He bent down, with a flattering look, and asked Shanahu in a gentle tone:
"Are you interested in joining our church?"
"The Sect of Eternal Bliss."
"Our teaching is [to live a happy life with a calm attitude, there is no need to force yourself when it comes to uncomfortable or painful things]"
After speaking, he put his hands together, lowered his head and smiled:
"What, are you interested?"
At this time.
Snap.
A hand with bulging veins was placed on the man's shoulder, making him jump up in fear.
The gentle tone sounded in my ears, but it seemed so eerie:
"Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly."
Butterfly Ninja leaned close to the man's ear, her face was gloomy, she smiled, and her voice was extremely clear:
"Can you introduce your Christian name again?"
She stared sideways at him and said word by word:
"Thanks."
