I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

"It's too miserable..." Tong Mo, who came over slowly, didn't expect things to turn out like this. Thinking of what would happen after returning home, the second grader finally realized that he had messed up. "It's over, it's over..."

He walked around in circles for several times, not daring to go home. After thinking about it for a while, he found Tired who was still looking for someone outside. Gui Gui, who felt guilty, didn't dare to say what happened, so he asked Tirei to go back and ask Li Zi vaguely.

He followed the white-haired boy with heavy steps with a sad look on his face.

As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw an anxious Kotonoha guarding the door of Lizi's room. His tired chest suddenly felt tight. He put his hand on the door and paused for a long time before pushing it open and entering.

The door made a long sound.

There was no Li Zi in the room. The young man walked straight to the closet, pressed his pale hand on the sliding door and stopped moving. "The sky is dead," the tone of the fifth sentence did not fluctuate much.

There was only shallow breathing in the closet, and after a while a dull voice sounded, "Yes."

"who is it?"

The body of the person inside suddenly stiffened, and she felt that she was starting to have trouble breathing again. The name of Killing Tiantian was in her heart, but she couldn't spit it out, and she actually let it go to kill Tiantian's... enemy.

Her long silence made the gloomy boy outside realize something, and asked from his chest, "Why?"

Tired's voice suddenly dropped, dark and cold, filled with murderous intent. The sliding door could not bear his anger, and was filled with cracks.

Her head was always buried in her knees. When she heard the movement, she suddenly raised her head. She watched expressionlessly as the sliding door cracked inch by inch.

See angry bloodshot eyes.

"Who is it?" he asked word by word. Tired of being unable to suppress his anger, he called out the name of the person in front of him, "Kuriyama Kuriko."

Do you want to protect humans?

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more uncomfortable, Tong Mo thought for a moment and felt that he had some responsibility for this matter. He walked into the room and said, "Everyone, calm down."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he received two looks full of murderous intent. He didn't expect that he was so unwelcome, and his expression froze.

Lizi had a splitting headache and leaned against the wall very tiredly. For some reason, there were many pictures in front of him. Her brain hurt so much that she didn't have the strength to argue, so she gave the name of the member of the Demon Slayer Squad who killed Sky, "Infernal Anjuro."

She shouted, "I'm going to fix this."

A sarcastic expression appeared on his tired face.

Li Zi saw the lifeless feeling in her heart and just said, "You don't know people." Her brain seemed to be pricked by needles. She frowned in pain and repeated in a low voice, "I will solve it."

"I'll take care of it."

She will definitely solve it, her mind is just in a mess right now and she can't think clearly for the time being. Give her some time and she will definitely come up with a solution.

Feeling uncomfortable all over, she could only curl up and hug herself, then lie down in the closet.

His tired body stiffened little by little. He stretched out his hand towards Lizi and suddenly pulled it back when he was about to touch it. He was silent for a long time, put away all the complicated emotions in his heart, turned around and walked out.

"I will kill him," he said calmly.

"Tired," Kotonoha followed worriedly. The boy's back froze slightly, but finally he took steps forward without saying a word. She was really worried, so she reached out and pulled Tong Mo's clothes to ask him to follow.

Tong Mo pointed at himself and received a positive response, so he could only follow him. He watched the people reach Natian Mountain safely and rushed back before dawn.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Kotonoha sitting on the tatami with a straight face. The two of them were too familiar, and Kotonoha knew him too well. As soon as he saw Tongmo's expression last night, he knew something was wrong, "What happened? "

Tong Mo thought for a few seconds, but chose to tell the truth about what happened. To put it simply, he had already discovered that the person who was chasing the sky was Infernal Anjuro, but he was too lazy to care. He only told Li Zi, but Li Zi was not fast enough and could not save anyone.

As for himself, he slowly followed Li Zi and entrusted everything to Li Zi.

A single thought led to the current situation.

Kotonoha's head was buzzing when she heard it, and her breath stuck in her chest and it took her a long time to recover.

"Kotonoha," Tong Mo was a little frightened just now and began to reflect on himself, "I really didn't expect that Miss Lizi would not catch up."

After all, he was trained by him.

Click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click…

Kotonoha lowered her head and wiped away her tears roughly, but she couldn't stop the tears. She didn't understand how things could become like this...

"Kotonoha..." Tong Mo took the person and let him lean on his shoulder. At this moment, he finally really reflected on himself, "I really didn't mean to do it."

Kotonoha was silent. After a long time, she raised her head and said softly, "I just don't understand why it was Anjuro, why it was that child..."

"Kotonoha..."

Tong Mo didn't know what to say except calling the name of the person in his arms. No matter what happened, he could always find a reason to defend himself.

Kotonoha's heart was indescribably depressed. She withdrew from Tongmo's arms and looked directly into those beautiful eyes like rainbows. "It is not unacceptable for a demon to die at the hands of the Demon Slayer Squad, but that person shouldn't be a chestnut." Anjuro, whom he regards as his younger brother, because Sky is Kuriko’s younger sister.”

Shang Er's ghost frowned slightly and then relaxed. He was about to speak, but his mouth was held down. Kotonoha's tone was not reproachful, just a little disappointed, "I know Tongmo-sama didn't mean it, I know..."

Kotonoha——

Tong Mo's heart suddenly shrank, and his mind gradually became confused. He almost subconsciously reached out and held Qin Ye's hand, "I..."

His voice suddenly stopped again, and it took him a while to find his own voice, "Are you disappointed?"

he asks.

Tongmo's words made Kotonoha slightly startled, were he disappointed? It would be a lie to say that he hasn't. He has changed so little over the years, but he is so smart. Does he really not know that the current situation may occur? He must have guessed it, he just didn't care and was too lazy to care.

But......

"Don't tell Li Zi and the others about this," Kotonoha said expressionlessly.

"Hey?"

"Remember?"

"Yes, yes, I remember."

"Can this not happen next time?"

"I understand."

Kotonoha nodded imperceptibly, let go of Tong Mo's hand, stood up and walked out the door, "I'm going to take a look at Chestnut."

When she arrived, Lizi was still in the same posture as before. Kotonoha sat down and reached out to touch Lizi's forehead. She knew that ghosts would not get sick from fever, but the heart in her body couldn't let go, so she had to touch it. "Tired." Already back to Natian Mountain..."

"That child has been trying to comfort you just now..."

Li Zi still curled up into a ball, "You know that child can't speak."

"chestnut...."

She stretched out her hand and gently put her hand on Lizi's shoulder, and said in a very soft voice, "I'm here, you can cry."

Li Zi's body shook several times, and then there was no more movement. Kotonoha stayed with her like this until light entered the room from the door. "

"Is it dawn yet?"
