I took out the medicine given by Butterfly and swallowed it in one gulp. I squatted on the ground and waited for the nosebleed to stop before standing up unsteadily to clean up the blood on my face, hands and the ground.

Watermelon kept looking at me worriedly during this period, afraid that if I made a mistake, I would suddenly faint.

I smiled comfortingly at it, secretly fetched a basin of water to clean the splash marks on my cuffs, then stood a little farther away from the house and stood to blow the air, and then entered the house after the smell of blood disappeared, otherwise I would be caught by Tanjiro It's hard to smell it.

And I don't really want to lie to him.

The dizziness hadn't subsided, and I was a little dazed when I saw things. I had to lean on a tree.

"Shigure..." The watermelon landed on my shoulder and touched my face lightly with its wings, "How do you feel now?"

I pursed my lips that were dry and cold by the wind, "Fortunately, I just took the medicine, and my head is still a little dizzy, not yet... Well, they came out."

I watched the man wearing the fire man mask go out, put on the bamboo hat, said goodbye to Mr. Ryodaki and Tanjiro, and then left.

Then I saw Tanjiro looking around, then moved his nose, turned his head to look at me, and when he saw me, he smiled and waved to me: "Ume! What are you doing there? "

"Enjoy the view, I think the morning air is fine," I replied.

He ran over with a puzzled expression, and sniffed, "Why do you smell like blood? Although it's faint, it does exist, and it was not long ago. Are you injured?"

I said calmly, "Here, just now I saw a dead mouse in the watermelon. I thought it was unhygienic so I threw it away. Maybe it was accidentally stained at that time."

Watermelon standing on my shoulder: "?"

"Ah, that's it!" The simple man didn't doubt at all, he believed my nonsense directly, and showed me his new knife.

The body of this knife is actually black, which is very rare, at least I have never seen it, but it is pretty cool.

"Mr. Steelzuka Hotaru was angry just now." Tanjiro looked at the knife and said, "Probably because the result is not what he wanted, but I think this is very good."

I nodded and said, "Indeed, I feel good too."

"Right!" Tanjiro smiled and rolled his eyes, very similar to Nezuko's smile, the arc was bent like a crescent moon.

"Hmm... By the way, Tanjiro." I looked at his smiling face, and felt a bit reluctant for a while.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Tanjiro put away the knife, his eyes shifted from the knife to my face.

"I'm leaving."

I said, "It's getting late. I've been out for so long and I've seen you and Nezuko. I should go back to the headquarters and report."

Tanjiro froze for a moment, then showed a somewhat disappointed expression, the light in his eyes dimmed a lot, but after a while he smiled brightly at me again, "That's it, there's nothing I can do about it, I saw Umeko I am also very satisfied! And we will meet again, Meizi will go to finish her own business now, please don't worry about us."

Tanjiro!How can I say you...

My mood is rare and a little complicated, a little dumbfounded and a little moved...

Tanjiro said, "When will Umeko leave? Do you need me to see you off?"

I said: "No, I'm leaving now, I don't bother to take my luggage away, and then please tell Nezuko and Mr. Ryotaki."

"Huh?!" He didn't seem to expect me to leave as soon as I said it, and was very surprised, "So fast?"

I smiled, "Well, go back early and solve it early."

At this time, the watermelon sighed softly in my ear, and then suddenly spread its wings and flew.

I glanced at it, walked up to Tanjiro, looked at him for a while, then put my arms around his waist, and hugged him tightly, "Take care, I'll wait for you in front."

"..." Tanjiro took a deep breath and hugged me back, "Okay, I will work hard!"

I let go, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and then walked down the mountain without looking back.

I'm afraid that if I'm a few steps later, I may really be reluctant to leave. It's rare to see him again this time, and I don't know when the next time we will meet. The world is impermanent, involuntary, and the battle with death may happen at any time, and no one can say for sure whether there will be a next meeting.

After all, I still have to walk the path I choose. I can’t be with him all the time, and Tanjiro is the same. I’m sure he won’t want me to put everything down and follow him and Nezuko the whole way.

We have our own things to do, our own encounters and lives. Even though we are friends, we can only hope that we will be safe and sound when we meet next time.

I took the watermelon and walked out of the Sagiri Mountain that I have been familiar with for the past few days. I walked back and forth for a long time until I saw the station, and then bought a ticket to get on the train.

This time I rarely fell asleep in the car, maybe because I was tired, or maybe I finally understood something in my heart and relaxed my mind, in short, I just slept like a dead.

When the flight attendant woke me up, the bus had already arrived at the station. I thanked the other party in a daze and got out of the car. I stood at the exit for a while, feeling inexplicably empty in my hands, and then suddenly Suddenly, when I wanted to look back for my luggage, I suddenly realized that I didn't take my luggage with me when I left.

I laughed at myself, what a sleepy fool!

The watermelon flew down from the sky, landed on my shoulder, and began to urge me non-stop: "Gah, hurry up! Go find the butterfly!"

I sighed, "Got it, Mommy Watermelon."

There are a lot of people at the station, just like during the Spring Festival travel season. It is difficult for me to walk with a knife and a watermelon, and it is easy to bump into people. .

I had just stepped on the shoes of three people in a row, and now I accidentally stepped on the shoes of a man wearing a hat in front of me, forcing his shy black socks to be exposed immediately.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to..." I quickly bowed my head to apologize, feeling that I have used this sentence very skillfully today.

"Mr. Yueyan, are you okay?" A well-dressed woman next to the man looked at him worriedly and asked.

"..." The man in the hat and suit put on his shoes as if nothing had happened, and said in a gentle tone, "It's okay, I don't mind."

"I'm so sorry..." I breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this man didn't give me cold eyes or scold me like the first two, he seemed quite generous.

After apologizing, I brushed past them and put the episode behind me.

Before I could catch my breath when I got back to the headquarters, Butterfly had already got the news from Xigua, who came back earlier than me, and sent a very powerful little girl from Butterfly House, Aoi Kanzaki, to escort me there.

"Miss Shimizu, please don't take your body seriously in the future!" Aoi Kanzaki accused me dissatisfiedly, and said with a very stern attitude, "We have heard from Xigua, are you still going to blow cold air after getting poisoned? gone?"

Um? !Why is this stinky bastard watermelon talking nonsense!

Aoi Kanzaki frowned and said, "Please reflect on yourself!"

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong." I felt guilty and touched my nose, not daring to speak again.
