Control the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer: Blade

Looking at Horigake's state at this time, Tanjiro looked very panicked and at a loss.

At the same time, Tanjiro was a little bit mad.

That doll called a stand-in doll, on the surface, looks like an ordinary cloth doll. Is it really a priceless treasure?

With such doubts, Tanjirou asked cautiously:

"Senior, what is that doll? Is it really precious?"

"Not only is it precious!? That's simply...

I told you, that's an extra life!This sentence is not an exaggeration at all!If you keep this substitute doll close to you, it will allow you..."

Horigake's words stopped abruptly.

After thinking about it, Horie still wanted to swallow the word "resurrection" back into his throat.

Things like resurrection are too challenging the boundary between life and death, as well as the laws of this world, so it's better not to let others know.

I saw that Horie was very depressed, very helpless:

"Forget it, forget it, you just need to know that it's enough that the stand-in doll can save someone's life at a critical moment."

The more Horigake said that, the more panicked Tanjirou became.

"Then what should I do? Senior, how should I compensate you?"

"I can't pay, and I don't know how to pay, so I just don't pay, and I'm unlucky."

"How does this work?"

"Tanjiro, if you really feel guilty, just work harder, make your strength stronger, and kill more ghosts in the final battle, that's enough."

After Horigake said that, Tanjirou also noticed Horigake's resolute expression, hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything more.

Rubbing his hair, it took Horigake a while to get out of his broken mood.

He looked at Tanjiro next to him, and remembered another thing:

"By the way, since you have achieved He Dao in this battle, even if you achieved it through tricks, it means that you do have the talent in this area. In the future, you can work hard to achieve He Dao through your own strength.

In addition to He Dao, is there any progress in the stripes and transparent world? "

When this question was mentioned, Tanjiro also cheered up a little.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I have no clue about the transparent world, but I successfully opened the stripes!"

Saying so, Tanjirou began to exert force.

With a bang, as the flames rose, the scar on Tanjiro's forehead transformed into a peculiar pattern of flames!
Looking at Tanjiro's forehead, and feeling Tanjiro's sudden increase in aura, Horigake can confirm that these are indeed Tanjirou's markings!

Well, like the original book, the stripes are on the forehead, and the patterns of the stripes are in the shape of flying flames, which fits with the breath of the sun used by Tanjiro.

So Horigake nodded.

"Okay, you did a good job, take it back."

Hearing what Horigake said, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. As the flames receded, the flame-like markings on Tanjiro's forehead also gradually receded and dissipated, and finally returned to the scar pattern.

Well, it's nice that their stripes can be opened and closed as they go.

Thinking of this, Tanjiro asked casually again:
"With the markings turned on, it must have consumed a lot of vitality, right?
Don't worry about this, I already have a solution, follow me to the research room. "

Unexpectedly, Tanjiro's reaction was like this.

"Life force consumption? What is that?"

Tanjiro scratched his head and asked this question in confusion.

Horiyake's pace of going out immediately stopped abruptly, he turned his head dumbfounded, and looked at Tanjiro in disbelief!
"You didn't lose your vitality after turning on the markings? Your lifespan is still intact!?"

Tanjiro was even more puzzled:
"Huh? After turning on the stripes, will it consume vitality? Will it consume life? But I don't have it?"

Without saying a word, Horigake grabbed Tanjiro's wrist, pressed his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger up in sequence, and began to feel Tanjiro's pulse.

Tanjiro also knew the seriousness and was honest there.

After holding it for about two or three minutes, Horigake let go of Tanjiro's wrist, and looked at Tanjiro with a complicated expression.

This kid... Really, there is no loss of vitality and lifespan.

What should Horigake say?Are you worthy of being the protagonist?

Although at the end of the original book, it didn't say when Kiyotanjiro lived, and gave everyone an open ending, but I didn't expect Tanjiro to really...

While looking at Tanjiro seriously, Horigake sighed in a complicated way:

"The same forehead pattern, the same earrings, the same sun's breath, the same pattern will not consume life after opening the pattern, Tanjiro, you are not really the reincarnation of Ji Kunienichi?"

Hearing Horigake say this, Tanjiro just felt absurd:
"Where did senior hear about reincarnation?"

"That's right," Horie shook his head to himself, "It doesn't matter if it's a reincarnation."

Looking at Tanjiro again, Horigake waved Tanjiro away angrily:

"Okay, it's none of your business, what should you do?"

"Oh, alright."

In this way, Tanjiro was sent away by Horigake.

After Tanjiro left, Horigake sat alone on the porch, avoiding the direct sunlight, while observing the scenery in the Butterfly Garden, watching the butterflies flying up and down.

Horie was lost in thought.

Tanjiro is worthy of being the protagonist, he has a system to activate, and he has this world to enable him, it doesn't make sense for two people to activate it.

But speaking of the world...

Horie took advantage of the situation and fell into deep thought.

This time, the loss of his substitute doll seemed to be caused by an accident.

But some accidents are accidents, and some accidents are destiny.

Horie Yue reasonably suspected that the loss of his double doll was a fateful accident!
The system has said before that the upper limit of mystery in this world is there. This world can accept so many outrageous things, but it cannot accept the resurrection that breaks the boundary between life and death.

The system's countermeasure for this is to cut first and then play, and use the substitute doll in advance.

Now it seems that things are not so simple.

I am afraid that this world has discovered their plan, so they communicated with their fate, and through a small accident and cause and effect, they excluded such unconventional things as stand-in dolls.

Well, the idea makes sense.

While thinking about it, Horigake communicated with the system in his mind through his thoughts:
"System, am I right?"

The system quickly responded:
"The host's guess is very correct, that's what happened."

"it is as expected……"

At the beginning, Horigake's inner tone was still calm, but suddenly, Horigake's psychological tone became arrogant:

"System, your wishful thinking has broken, shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
