[Ghost Slayer: Blade] My big move is locked!

"Welcome home, Shigure."

I was stunned.

In my impression, someone also said this sentence to me.

I couldn't help taking two steps back, raised my head and looked around, it was empty and lonely, and the air was filled with an unknown faint scent of trees, which made it look more primitive.

"I, do I live here? If it's 'home'?" It may be affected by the environment, or the influence of the person opposite, I couldn't help but whisper a lot.

The upper half of that person's face had a layer of serious scars, which seemed to be caused by poisoning or something else. It looked scary, but I was not scared at all, as if it should be like this, and there was no reason.

I walked over.

He poured me a cup of tea, handed it to the other side of the low table, and gestured for me to sit down.

I involuntarily followed his instructions, and when I came back to my senses, I was kneeling on the cushion.

"Drink it? It's new tea." He said.

"Thank you." I picked up the tea cup in a panic, the wall of the tea was still very hot, and I almost couldn't hold it steady and spilled it on myself.

Seeing that my fingers were burned red and I didn't feel like drinking tea, I had to put the tea back in its original place.

I am truly ashamed of my sudden clumsiness, especially in front of this man.

"Relax, it's okay." He smiled, and there was a touch of apology in his smile, "I'm sorry, my tea was too hot, which hurt your hand."

It can be noticed that his apology is sincere and makes people feel valued.

I shook my head lightly, "It's none of your business, I'm too reckless."

I used honorifics without realizing it...

"Let me introduce myself again—my name is Yoya Ubuyashiki."

He nodded to me, always with a refreshing smile on his lips.

"Please teach me more in the future, Shigure."

I turned around, faced him, and bowed slightly, "I'm very sorry, I lost most of my memory for some reason, and I can't remember everything, only a few bits and pieces. So I don't know my real name. Miss Butterfly Ninja called me I didn't feel familiar with the time of 'clear water when it rains'..."

He nodded, sat upright, and said in a low tone: "Well, I have heard from Ninja before that your memory is damaged, and it is understandable if you can't remember it, but don't worry, the memory will recover sooner or later, just like the cycle of karma , God will ordain."

"...Ah, thank you." I scratched my face, a little embarrassed, "If you can, please tell me how I joined the Ghost Killing Squad before.

"And why... the leader of the ghost killing team is someone like you? It's not derogatory, it's just that I don't understand it."

I lowered my head and stretched out my fingertips to carefully touch the already cold teacup, "I just met you, and I thought you were a very gentle person with a unique voice, but I also felt that you had no skills, and even your body was too weak... I'm very sorry to say this to you, but this is my true thought... and compared to this, you are like a gentle gentleman, not suitable for getting blood on your hands."

"..."

The air was silent for a moment.

I'm a little upset and sorry, but I don't intend to take my words back.

"Is that so..."

He suddenly stopped laughing, but the feeling of spring breeze still exists, I saw him stretch out his hand to take a sip of tea, "Let's talk about the first question first. How did you get into the ghost killing team..."

I straightened my body and listened attentively.

"That day, your master Kiyomizu Terabashi brought you who passed the trial to see me..."

Um?my master?

I still have a master? !

But why do I have the same surname as my master?

So is this my father or my mother? !

Before I finished thinking, I watched him burst out laughing. Although I quickly covered my lips with my sleeve, it was not difficult to see that he was smiling.

I:"……"

What did I do to make people laugh!It still reminds the person in front of him that he can laugh out loud!I don't want to know this at all!

He smiled and started coughing. It was nothing at first. I thought he was choking, but the coughing got worse, and then he coughed up a little blood.

I stood up from the cushion in shock, knocked over the table, and spilled tea all over the floor.

"That... that, my lord...!" I ran over, knelt beside him and supported his shoulders, "Are you all right? Is there any medicine? I'll get it, please hold on."

He pulled my sleeve feebly and shook it. The bright red blood stains around his lips made his skin pale as snow and made him sicker.

"Old problem... Cough cough, I'm sorry, I scared you." He coughed a few times, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I still can't finish talking to you."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll remember it later." I said hastily, even regretting my talk.

I already knew that his body was too weak, so I shouldn't have dragged him to talk so much!

"Almost forgot..." He asked me to help him up with his strength, facing the door, but his voice was inaudible due to his illness, "Go and get that thing."

There was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door.

Then the door was opened, and an extremely beautiful white-haired woman walked in with a wooden box. She walked slowly to our side, knelt down, and thanked me with a slight bow, "I'm sorry."

"Where, you're welcome." I watched in a daze as she skillfully supported him.

He coughed a few times, turned his head to the white-haired woman and shook his head slightly, and then said to me, "Your master left this with me before, and I planned to give it to you when you became a rain pillar... Cough cough, it turned out that things were too chaotic and urgent, and before I had time to find you, there was news of your disappearance... We will meet again, now is the time."

I took the wooden box, my head was a little stiff, and I just subconsciously said with my mouth, "Then I am 'Rain Zhu' now, right? Although I still don't quite understand..."

He nodded lightly.

I was suddenly nervous, a little scared, and my hands were shaking, so I had to cover my mouth with my hands and take a deep breath, feeling that even the breathing was trembling.

...It's really outrageous!

The box on the ground was not locked, but the iron sheets at the four corners were rusted, with a layer of brown, like a forgotten corner in the river of time.

But there is no dust on the box, and there are signs of being opened, so I can easily remove the lid.

I saw only one dry branch inside, and some dried up and shriveled flowers were scattered beside it.

My eyes widened in astonishment.

"Your master once asked me to pick one for you and put it in a box when the cherry blossoms are in bloom... But now that the flowering season has passed, I can't pick another one for you, I can only show you these... What a shame."

In the dimness, I seem to see two people standing in the same corridor.

The girl smiled and raised her head with her hands on her hips and said to her older woman:

[If someone really sends me flowers, I don’t want others. Roses are too vulgar, peonies are too colorful, and cherry blossoms are very good, common and beautiful...]

[Hey, look at me, how easy it is to be satisfied! ]

……

"I..." As soon as I said a word, I couldn't continue. I felt like my throat was choked, and I had a strong desire to vomit.

The corners of his eyes were hot, but no tears flowed.

"Shigure..." He slowly lowered his eyelashes, and his voice gradually returned to normal, "You asked me the second question: Why can someone like me be the leader of the ghost killing team...

It's not a question of 'can', it's a question of 'must'.This is my responsibility, and it is also our unshirkable fault from generation to generation... Everyone voluntarily joins the ghost killing team because of the 'ghost' who lost his relatives and friends. Everyone has a reason to fight for it. This is the reason why the Ghost Killing Squad was established, the source of everything - Demon Dance Tsuji Mucan. "

He held out his hand to me.

"Shiyu, I hope you can help me."

"..." I hugged the box tightly and lowered my head with difficulty. "...Sorry, let me think about it first, please give me some time."

The author has something to say: a little spoiler:
