I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

Children's happiness is simple.

Little Fujita soon forgot the purpose of coming and happily played with his sister who came from afar. Kuriyama Kuriko is quite good at taking care of children. After all, she has several younger siblings at home. She makes the children laugh and smack her face a few times.

Hold the child and read to her and tell stories.

She patiently answered the children’s curious questions. If there was something she didn’t know, she would just say she didn’t know and let the children know and tell her later.

The little boy Fujita pouted and said in a milky voice, "You are an adult!" He said it loudly.

"Adults are not omnipotent," Li Zi said confidently, remembering the hard time of studying, "We are also learning, there must be many things that we have not learned."

"Is that right?"

"Of course," Li Zi nodded.

Little Fujita's expression was very disappointed. It was obvious that some of her fantasies had been shattered. "It turns out that being an adult is still so hard..." she muttered.

"Nonsense," Li Zi said to attract the children's attention, and then said with a smile, "It's obviously harder."

The expectant Fujita child said, "..."

Although he was caught sneaking out at night and promised not to go out, Kuriyama Kuriko naturally couldn't do it. All she could say was that it was a 'white lie'.

But in the end, he waited until others fell asleep before going out.

I was not very lucky today. As soon as I went out, I bumped into the patrolling Demon Slayer Squad.

Before he even got close, Kuriyama Kuriko smelled the sweet smell of blood, and he became very hungry. She clicked her tongue and followed the Demon Slayer Team not far away, seeing large blood stains on their clothes.

There is coagulated blood and there is fresh blood.

There are people injured.

"Hold on, Kojima Yu—" the one on the far right yelled, and the two people held the person in the middle.

Have you encountered a ghost? Kuriyama Kuriko ponders.

Kodao Yu made an indistinct sound, and carefully identified it as something to reassure his companions, but his severe injuries made it difficult for him to speak.

After walking a few more steps, the man in the middle stumbled and his arms lost strength.

"Island tour——"

"S-island tour..."

His two companions made mournful sounds. At first, Kuriyama Kuriko could only feel the breathing of the two people, and Kojima Yu left...

Li Zi did not hide her figure, but the two members of the Demon Slayer Corps did not notice her at all, holding on to the body of their companion and crying bitterly.

They cried under their breath.

"嘤嘤嘤~~~heeheehee~~~"

Just as the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were crying, there was suddenly a numbing laughter all around them. It was the cry of a girl, the giggle of a child, and a few seconds later it turned into the sound of fingernails scratching. .

"Who?" The two members of the Demon Slayer Corps couldn't care less about crying anymore. They quickly stood up and shouted harshly, and saw Kuriyama Kuriko who was following behind.

The sound seemed to come from all directions, and Li Zi couldn't tell where it was, and her whole body tensed up. He carefully looked at everything around him and tightened his grip on the umbrella.

"who are you?"

One of the Demon Slayers strode towards Kuriko, his hand on the Nichirin sword. He looked warily at the strange girl who suddenly appeared. How could a woman go out at this time?

Almost as a matter of course, Chestnut was thought to be a ghost.

Delong of the Demon Slayer Squad stood a few steps away from Kuriyama Kuriko, staring at the girl in front of him with his falcon-like eyes. His eyes softened a bit as he looked at him, because Kuriyama Kuriko looked at him with all his eyes. Just an ordinary human girl.

"Why are you out so late?"

Although he felt that the other party was a human being, it was really strange for a woman to appear outside at night, and Delong did not relax his vigilance.

"I live in the Fujita family not far away, and I came out to look for something," Li Zi said calmly. She didn't notice Delong's alert posture at all. She tilted her head and glanced at Delong and the Muyou team members behind him, and asked, "Is it a ghost?"

"You...you know ghosts?" Delong was surprised.

"Well, is it a ghost?"

"Yes," Mu You was not as steady as Delong. When he heard the question, he answered angrily, "It's a ghost."

Kuriyama Kuriko couldn't answer. When he got the answer, he could only say "oh" silently, and then asked, "Is it the ghost from Tokyo?"

"How do you know?" Delong suddenly tightened his grip on the Nichirin Knife, as if Li Zi couldn't answer or answered incorrectly, and the knife was about to fall on her neck.

"I know a few friends from the Demon Slayer Squad," Kuriyama Kuriko glanced at Delong's hand holding the knife, and said softly, not avoiding Delong's probing gaze, "he told me."

"Who do you know?" Mu You asked.

"Mr. Purgatory and Mr. Mingmingyu," Li Zi replied, stroking the handle of the umbrella, "Is that ghost very powerful?"

Mu You's face was heavy and sad. He turned to look at his companions and said in a hoarse voice, "It's amazing, it's hard for us to track down the ghost." Suddenly his face changed and he raised his head, his eyes were horrified and alert, "It wasn't your voice just now. .”

"Deyou, it's not her."

Deyou's expression changed, and the two of them quickly looked around, back to back.

Chestnut stood alone.

"Damn it," Deyou yelled, "come here quickly, that ghost can hide in various places."

"Various places?" Lizi didn't quite understand what it meant, "What do you mean?" She was confused and curious, and took a step forward. Suddenly, her calf was grabbed by something, and her whole body fell downwards.

But she was standing on the ground, how could she fall?

Li Zi's expression changed, he lowered his head to look at something, grabbed her hand and stretched it out from the ground. She understood what 'hiding in various places' meant.

"Oops,"

Deyou's face changed drastically, he jumped to Lizi's side, drew out the Sun Blade and slashed at Lizi's hand.

The hand suddenly disappeared.

Deyou's expression changed again, and he hurriedly wanted to take back the knife, but he couldn't take back the knife that he had swung out so easily. The knife struck Li Zi's umbrella.

Lizi's face turned a little pale. She was not afraid of having her legs cut off, but she was afraid that the ghost's identity would be discovered.

All three of them turned pale after being teased by the ghost. Li Zi jerked her leg, but it didn't move at all. She was dumbfounded.

"It's really buried in the ground," Muyou explained when he saw Li Zi jerking his legs and started digging with the Nichirin knife.

"Hehe~~" The voice sounded again. Mu You and Deyou's expressions changed dramatically. They realized something and turned around quickly.

There was a skinny two-horned ghost crawling on Kodao Yu's body. He grinned and fell into the ground with the body in his arms before Mu You and De You rushed over.

"hateful--"

If your companion's body falls into the hands of a ghost, you don't have to think about what will happen. Mu You collapsed. He didn't even have time to get the Nichirin Knife, so he dug the ground with his hands, trying to get his companion's body back.

"Damn it, no-"

Lizi's whole calf was stuck in the ground. She glanced at Muyou who was lying on the ground crying, sighed softly, picked up the Nichirin knife that was thrown aside, and started digging into her leg.

"Ahhh~~"

The weeping was so sad that it penetrated the bones.

Suddenly there were footsteps getting closer and closer. Lizi turned around with difficulty and saw a familiar figure.

Wei Mingyu came in a hurry, "Muyou-kun, Deyou-kun," he said, "Xiaodao..." Just as he was about to speak out, he realized that there was something wrong with the aura on the field, and the other person was not his companion Xiaodao Yu-kun.

"Mr. Weimingyu," Li Zi's voice couldn't tell if she was helpless or speechless. She glanced at her legs in the dirt, "Long time no see."

"Hey, I might need a little help."

Mu You sobbed and told what happened. Deyou gritted his teeth and helped Li Zi dig his legs.

With help, Li Zi's legs were soon free.

Hearing that Kodao Yu's body was taken away by ghosts, a touch of sadness appeared on the island. He lowered his head and shed two lines of tears in his eyes, "It's my fault."

Lizi walked aside and patted the dust on her clothes. There were several stains that she could not wipe away no matter how hard she patted them. She suddenly felt distressed.

When she heard Wei Mingyu's words, she looked up.

Wei Mingyu felt the gaze and asked, "Miss Miyamoto, why are you here?"
