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

"Miss Shinobi... When will Meizi wake up?"

"... Now her condition is much better... She should wake up in the next few days..."

"That's it... Meizi has been in a coma for more than two months, and I'm a little worried about her..."

I moved my fingers lightly in a daze, and vaguely heard the conversation between Butterfly and Tanjirou in my ears, which made me want to wake up, but my eyelids seemed to be stuck, and I couldn’t open them at all. Being able to move slightly, the body seems to be filled with lead, lying heavily, allowing the consciousness to float.

Unable to control myself, I had no choice but to fall asleep again.

I thought I was going to dream about something, but there was nothing in the dream, it was a vast expanse of whiteness, and everything I could see was empty.

At some point, when I opened my eyes again, what I saw was the ceiling dyed red by the setting sun through the window.

I looked at the ceiling silently, let go of my thoughts and stayed in a daze for a while, and when I wanted to move, I found that my hand suddenly couldn't move.

I broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that my hands had been poisoned, but when I hurriedly turned my head (actually, very slowly) to look at the position of my hand, I was blocked by a furry head.

The boy with dark red hair is holding my hand full and pillowing it under his cheek, like a giant dragon guarding some treasure.

He lay on the side of the bed and slept deeply, breathing shallowly, spraying warmly on the back of my hand, the long eyelashes would move from time to time, and would sweep to the skin on the back of my hand, the itching feeling was like a soft root It came from there like a feather, which made my heart soften.

I was reluctant to wake him up, so I slowed down my breathing and kept looking at Tanjirou's face with my head turned.

Then after a while, just when I was about to fall asleep in this position, he suddenly jumped up holding my hand, and shouted: "Plum?!" The tone was full of panic, and a little cry.

And my arm was pulled by him, and I was also suddenly frightened by him. I was sleepy and stared at him with wide eyes, full of doubts.

He also stared at me with wide eyes, with a teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye, feeling wronged and pitiful.

We two stared at each other until he lay on my bedside with a wow, weeping with joy: "Meizi! You finally woke up!"

"..." Just when I was about to ask him what's wrong, I realized that my throat was very dry and my lips were very chapped, and I couldn't make any sound for a while.

"Ah! Do you want to drink water?" Tanjiro wiped away his tears, and immediately realized, he let go of my hand and ran to get me water to drink.

I watched my hand being loosened all of a sudden, and the other warm palm left like this, and I suddenly felt a little bit reluctant in my heart.

After Tanjiro came over with water and helped me up to drink a little bit of water, I put my hand in his hand again.

"Is it because your hand hurts?" He looked at me blankly, holding my hand and a huge question mark slowly appeared above his head.

"..." I was silent for a while, and then slowly said to him in a hoarse voice: "Don't let go, just hold me like this."

Hearing what I said, he clenched his hand obediently and said, "Okay."

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked him.

He sat beside my bed, blinked and said, "It's been more than two months since Huajie found you, and I woke up a few days earlier than you. Miss Shinobi said that the poison in your body has been released, and you will never use it again." I'm worried... Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Nezuko also came to see you, but they just left, and Mr. Purgatory and Miss Ganluji... Although the battle was fierce and many innocent people died, in the end we all have Come back well, although Mr. Yu Sui was seriously injured, he survived very well..."

After listening to him quietly, I said: "I'm sorry, I made you worry. It's because I'm not strong enough to support you..." "That's not the case!" He refuted me seriously, " Meizi has done a good job! And she suffered more injuries than us, and even defeated a ghost by herself..."

"It's not a big deal." Hearing him say that I defeated the ghost alone, I was a little ashamed. Others were fighting seriously, but I was too unstable and not strong enough, so I almost caught fire The way of that ghost, it took so much time... and the thought of throwing away all irresponsibility and wanting to die...

Seemingly aware of my depression, Tanjiro hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, Umeko, my blade was damaged a lot in this battle, Mr. Steelzuka seems to be very angry... Ah, of course it's all because I'm not enough. The blade will be damaged only if it is strong, so it is only natural for Mr. Steelzuka to be angry. Then I want to go to him personally to apologize to him, and hope that he can help me repair the blade again."

I said, "So you're going to Bladesmith Village? When?"

He thought for a while and said, "I originally planned to wait for Meizi to wake up in the next few days... Now that Meizi is awake, let's go tomorrow. After all, if the blade is not repaired sooner, I won't have a weapon to fight."

"Alright, let's get it over with earlier." I nodded and said, "Tanjiro, when you come back, let me tell you something."

"Eh?" He was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what I meant, looked at me with lowered eyes and said seriously: "Okay."

After Tanjiro left, Butterfly Shinobi walked in from the outside, and asked me with a smile: "Miss Shimizu, are you okay now? Is there something wrong?"

"Fortunately, I don't feel anything wrong for the time being." I honestly replied, "Actually, my arm is a little numb, but I'm too embarrassed to say it, because Tanjiro has been holding it and keeping the posture still, so now it's really the whole arm. My hands are numb, and my butt hurts from sitting on it."

"..." Butterfly Shinobu's smiling face suddenly stiffened, and he said in a very bad tone, "Don't tell me this kind of thing."

I nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

"By the way, Butterfly," I moved my numb arm, and said in a very normal tone, "I remembered everything, everything about me and my master..."

Butterfly Shinobi still smiled, but the hand that was checking me stopped, "...you remember it?"

"You should have learned from that ghost, right?!" I shrugged, and then he hissed in pain because this action involved the wound, but I insisted on finishing, "Thank you for taking care of me all these years, I'm sorry , I am too immature to cause trouble for you."

I have remembered everyone's kindness and help to me in the past two years, and I sincerely thank them.

Butterfly Ninja, in particular, really caused her a lot of trouble. Now that I think about it, I feel a little embarrassed.

"And, after two days, I want to pay my respects to the lord." I smiled helplessly and said, "I have something to tell the lord...it's not rude, don't look at me like this!"

Butterfly looked at me silently, and said softly: "You..." "It's really great to think of you again!"

I opened my hand and smiled at her and said, "Want a hug that I haven't seen in a long time, Miss Butterfly?"

"Even if you regain your memory, you still haven't changed, but it's not bad, please continue to be like this, Miss Shimizu." Although Butterfly Shinobi said so, he bent down and hugged me gently, "Welcome return."

……

.........

Two days later, when I was finally able to get out of bed, the watermelon flew in from the window and told me that the lord agreed to meet me.

At that time, I was still practicing handstand on the bed. Although I was mentally prepared, I was so nervous when I heard the news that I fell off the bed and almost broke my old waist.

"Please come in."

The soft, spring-like voice came from the room, making people feel at ease.

"Excuse me." The door was gently opened, I walked in, and sat down on my knees facing Yoya Yashiki, who was sitting in the quilt, and bowed respectfully, "I am visiting at this time, and I am disturbing my lord. My lord's rest, I'm really sorry."

It’s been a while since I saw Yoya Yashiki, and when I met again after recovering my memory, it was like a lifetime ago, and it seemed like I just met yesterday, in the blink of an eye, time flies, things are different, but Except for the aggravation of the disease, the current lord is exactly the same as now, which makes me feel like time is out of order, as if as long as I turn around, I can see Terabashi sitting behind me, frowning critically. with me...

"It's okay. I heard from Butterfly, Shigure, have you recovered your memory?" Yoya Yashiki clenched his fist and coughed softly on his lips, "I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you all this time..."

"It's all my problem, it's none of your lord's business, and it's my fault for letting your lord worry about me." I bowed my head again and said, "I came here this time to ask my lord for something."

Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at me quietly, his eyes were soft, and there was a little encouragement in his eyes.

"Now one of the nine pillars—Master Yinzhu Yusui Tianyuan is injured and retreated to the second line, and the pillar position is vacant, and now when there is an urgent need for employment, although my strength is weak, I still dare to hope that the Lord will agree to my request and forgive me. Go back and forth..."

I folded my hands on my abdomen, bowed deeply and said, "Please restore my pillar position, I am willing to dedicate myself to the Ghost Killing Squad, and I will die."
