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

Before I knew it, I had been staying at Tanjiro's house for over a month.

I suddenly realized that the weather was already much colder when I came to his house, but now it has started to snow gradually.

At first, it was small snowflakes, and then gradually became dense, and the fluffy snow fell down all over the ground, covering all the places in sight, blurring the whole world like feathers.

The cold is not very cold, and it doesn't feel so cold after getting used to it.

I put on a scarf and wrapped myself tightly into a ball.

However, I am excluded.

I am particularly afraid of the cold, Nezuko Tanjiro and the others know this, and the clothes they gave me were extra thick, and Mrs. Aoie made me a pair of gloves, which were super warm, and I felt like I was living in a unique world In the small warm room, it was hot, but also dizzy, as if drunk.

"I'm going down the mountain first!" Tanjiro said to his brothers and sisters, "You have to take good care of the house at home and take care of your mother and sixth wife."

I tucked the lower half of my face into the scarf, and asked in a muffled voice: "Tanjiro, are you sure you want this time? Can't you wait for the snow to stop? It feels very dangerous to go at this time."

Tanjiro smiled, and then stretched out his hand to rub Shigeru's head next to him: "I can't help it, I made an appointment with someone to deliver the charcoal, so I have to abide by the agreement!"

"...Then I'll go with you."

"?what?"

I pulled up the scarf to cover my face, only showing my eyes: "I said, I'll go with you. I haven't been down the mountain anyway, so let's go and have a look together."

"But Umeko, aren't you afraid of the cold?" Tanjiro asked.

I said: "Is there any connection between being afraid of the cold and not going out? No! I don't want you to think so! Understand?"

"...Well, as long as you are happy."

Tanjiro turned around and continued saying goodbye to his siblings and mother.

"Eh?" Nezuko puffed her face while puffing her hands, "Is Meizi worried about her brother?"

I turned my eyes away in embarrassment, sighed and said, "It's snowing heavily now, I think going alone...it feels like two people will be more secure."

Nezuko showed a small smile: "In fact, my brother has been used to walking down the mountain since he was a child. Whether it is windy, rainy or snowy, my brother will know how to go... Well, but it's good for Meizi to follow. "

Me: "?" I underestimated Tanjiro?Is this boy (nose) so powerful? !

After saying goodbye, Tanjirou waved to me with Tan on his back, "Umeko, let's go."

"Hmm." I raised my head and looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.

Mrs. Aoizhi, with Liutai behind her back, stood with Nezuko and the others smiling and watching us off.

"Be careful on the road."

I put my hands in my sleeves, and Tanjiro turned around and waved at them.

"Wait for us to come back!"

After walking for a while on the crunching snow.

I looked at Tanjiro's ponytail swaying behind his head, and I couldn't help stretching out my fingertips and pulling it lightly.

"?" Tanjiro turned his head and looked at me with wide eyes in doubt, "What's wrong? Umeko?"

I said solemnly: "I just remembered that I have to buy some accessories for Nezuko and Hanako. Do you think hairpins or headbands are better?"

"Ah? Is there a difference?" Nao Tanjiro said.

"..." I said indifferently, "don't talk to me from now on."

Tanjiro:? _(:з"∠)_

I followed Tanjiro all the way down the mountain, during which time he tried to talk to me, but I ignored him, and when I saw me ignoring him, he showed a tearful expression.

Do you think I will soften my heart?

I sneered in my heart.

Oh, yes, I will!

Damn, what do you care about with a 13-year-old kid!Forget it!

"Umeko, we're here," Tanjiro said.

Although it is a small town, it has everything you need, and there is a sense of ancient and modern confusion. When I look up, I see electric poles. I am confused, is there electricity? !

What era is this?

I followed Tanjiro to deliver charcoal to the agreed person. I walked behind and looked around, feeling like I really came from the countryside.But there is an indescribable sense of familiarity when seeing these scenes.

I'm sure I must have lived or seen something like this before.

But I saw that there was only one old lady in the family we made an appointment with. According to the old lady, her son and daughter-in-law had gone out to work, and she was the only one left to look after the house.

Seeing this, Tanjiro took the initiative to move Tan in, and he couldn't let the old man do it.

I also gave a hand halfway.

"What a good boy." The old lady bowed slightly to us: "Thank you very much."

We also replied: "You're welcome, it should be."

Although the old man's house is a bit dilapidated, there is still a sense of warmth, and the old lady always has a smile on her face. Although she didn't say anything, she can still smell the smell of happiness.

so good!

This is what Tanjiro told me later.

I breathed on my hands and said, "Yes, but I think your family is also very good."

Tanjiro laughed, "I also think Umeko's home is also good."

"Huh? I don't even remember my family? How do you know? It smelled again?" I looked at him strangely.

"Hahahaha, no!" Tanjiro laughed suddenly, "I think Umeko is a nice person, so Umeko's family must be nice too."

"...What strange logic do you have!" I couldn't help laughing, and then pulled the scarf to cover my face.

Tanjiro said as he walked, "By the way Umeko, didn't you say you want to buy something?"

I was startled suddenly, "Oh, I forgot if you didn't tell me."

"I remember there was a shop in front that sold these things."

"Then... let's go." I couldn't help sneezing.

"It's okay, Umeko." Tanjiro looked up at the sky, "Let's go back as soon as we finish shopping, it's getting late, and the temperature is dropping fast, Umeko, you're also afraid of the cold."

"Well, you're right." I lowered my head and rubbed my nose.

When we hurried to the store, the boss thought we were robbing.

Fortunately, the boss knew Tanjiro, so he kept smiling and let him choose first.

It's not hard to imagine that this kid has always been very likable, and it's only natural that he is popular!

"Ume, which one do you want to choose?" Tanjiro turned to me and asked.

I looked down and found a headband with white polka dots on the foundation, which is very suitable for Nezuko, so cute.

oh!This hairpin!Hanako can handle it!That's great!

and this!Tanjiro..."Um, Umeko, I don't think I'm suitable." Tanjiro said while touching the bowknot barrette on his hair with some embarrassment.

"Oh, that's great." I sighed regretfully.

Obviously this barrette matches the color of his hair very well, and it also has a ponytail!

Then when I put the bowknot hairpin back, I saw a cherry blossom-shaped hairpin next to it. Before I could take a closer look, I suddenly felt uncontrollable sadness welling up in my heart.

This sadness came fiercely, aggressively, and made people breathless. It swept up from the bottom of my heart, like a trapped animal that was locked in a cage and finally broke out.I feel like my nose is sore all of a sudden.

The emotions came too fast, and it was too late to control, so I quickly pulled the scarf to cover it up, and this time I even covered my eyes, for fear that others would see my inexplicable tears.

"What's wrong? Plum?"

Tanjirou's concerned question came to his ears.

I suppressed my voice with difficulty, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just want to sneeze. You wrap up what I picked for Nezuko and Hanako just now, I want to go back soon."

"okay."

As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, tears began to soak the scarf impatiently.

after awhile.

Tanjiro said, "Okay, let's go."

I quietly pressed my eyes with the scarf, revealing a slit, and followed behind Tanjiro.

Fortunately, the sky was not too dark, and the snow did not fall heavily, so the road was still walkable.

We walked back in silence.

"Ume," Tanjiro said suddenly, "are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"How do you..."

As soon as I spoke, I realized that my voice was very hoarse.

"I'm fine. It was a bit inexplicable just now, but it suddenly happened." I cleared my throat and said looking behind him.

Tanjiro didn't look back, but continued to walk forward, "You can tell me if you feel uncomfortable, although it may not solve the problem, but it will make you feel better if you say it."

I pinched my nose and felt sore again.
