My cubs are all blackened

"...Eh? Do you want to buy my sun wheel knife?"

After struggling for a while, Zamon Tanjiro finally understood Ye Lian's meaning, but because this request was too unimaginable, he is still in a state of bewilderment.

"That's right." On the contrary, Ye Lian, who didn't understand the situation at all, couldn't understand his confusion.

Probably because of the price, that's why he hesitated. After all, this knife is really powerful.

Ye Lian thought about it seriously, and added: "The price is up to you. Although I can't pay for it in a short time, I will find a way to get it together as soon as possible, so the price is not a problem."

"Ah, it's not about the price, you misunderstood!" Kamado Tanjiro quickly waved his hand: "Besides, I got the wheel knife for free this day."

"Free?!" Hearing this, Ye Lian was stunned for a moment, his eyes sparkled even brighter. Although he said so many big words, he was also worried about where to get the money.

"Is anyone giving out such a nice knife for free... that's amazing, please do let me know where it is."

"This one……"

Seeing that his brain circuit seemed to be getting more and more deviated, Kamado Tanjiro smiled awkwardly, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He really felt this person's obsession with the knife.

"This kind of knife is a special weapon for killing ghosts. Only special people can make it, so only our ghost killers can get it for free."

He tried his best to explain to Ye Lian in a gentle manner, hoping to dispel the other party's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lian blinked his eyes in doubt, and asked back: "Ghost killing team... what is the name of the team?"

Eh...do I want to start from here? !

Zamon Tanjiro's eyes widened. He thought that the name of the Demon Slayer Squad should be spread all over the country, and there were very few people who hadn't heard of it. He didn't expect to meet one today.

But when he thought of Ye Lian's neither human nor ghost aura, he could understand a little bit, but he became more and more interested in Ye Lian.

I really want to know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, what kind of existence it is.

"I can tell you what I know, but in contrast, you have to tell me your information."

Zamon Tanjiro looked at Ye Lian calmly, showing his calmness and coolness as the eldest man: "I want to know what you are, how about we make a deal?"

Ye Lian stared at his firm gaze, and the corners of his lips couldn't help evoking a slight smile.

Such a young child is about to go out to hunt ghosts, which is enough to see the sorrow of the times, but at the same time, the dazzling figure of the young man fascinates him incomparably.

What he likes is always such pure things, whether he has memory or not, he will never forget it.

"can."

Ye Lian nodded: "Our purpose is the same, so I am happy to eliminate the gap between us, tell me what you know."

Following his wish, Kamado Tanjiro sniffed the wings of his nose, only he could smell the change of other people's mood.

At this moment, what the blond-haired, blue-eyed youth said was by no means false, but a trustworthy existence with all his heart.

Because of this, Zamon Tanjiro told Ye Lian everything he knew without hesitation.

Enemies that exist in the world that are opposite to human beings - ghosts, possess powerful power.

In order to be able to eliminate them and protect human beings, the Ghost Killing Squad, a troop specialized in hunting ghosts, was established.

The members inside have passed all kinds of tests before they can obtain the symbolic sun wheel sword and team uniform, and officially become a member of the protection of mankind.

And those who can use the Sun Wheel Knife must also learn powerful skills to ensure that they will not be swallowed by ghosts. In this way, a series of skills such as breathing, swordsmanship, etc. are derived and become the well-organized and A powerful ghost killer team.

Ye Lian listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time and asking some questions: "Then, do I have to take part in the test if I want to get the Sun Wheel Knife? How long?"

Kamado Tanjiro thought for a while: "That's right, the next test seems to be in half a year, and if it succeeds, it will be necessary to rebuild the Japanese sword..."

He smiled, completely ignoring Ye Lian's frowning brows: "Anyway, it's still far away. If you want to sign up, you should have a lot of preparation time."

"--too slow."

A harsh word interrupted him.

Tanjiro Kamado blinked his eyes in confusion: "...?"

Ye Lian's tone was slightly disgusted, and he sighed slowly, "Isn't there a faster way?"

He doesn't plan to stay in this world for so long, the day lily will be cold by then.

Kamado Tanjiro hesitated: "A faster way? As far as I know, the only way to become a member of the Demon Slayer is..."

Ye Lian: "It's okay, I just want a knife, I don't want to be a member of you, so it should be faster."

Kamado Tanjiro: "..."

No, this is even more impossible!

Seeing that his face was covered with black lines and he was speechless for a long time, Ye Lian understood what he meant and felt even more helpless.

He rubbed his cheeks with his fingertips in thought, and unconsciously came up with various methods: "If it doesn't work...then we can only find the position of the sword master, and then threaten them to help me make the sword."

"I think in the face of threats of life and death, they should be obedient... The rest is how to find out their location."

Hearing him talking to himself, Kamado Tanjiro's eyes almost popped out of shock: "Hey, wait, wait! This is not allowed, please don't do this!"

He looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka who had been silent for help: "Mr. Tomioka should also say something, such a thought is really terrible."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was resting on the tree trunk. Seeing this, his dark eyes moved to Ye Lian's body, and he slowly uttered four words: "Go to see the Lord."

"Obey your lord's orders."

As soon as the words fell, the pitch-black crow stretched its wings and flew towards the branches. Hoarse cries resounded through the sky and the earth, and soon disappeared in one direction.

Seeing the crow go away, Kamado Tanjirou also understood that the other party was going to ask the lord for instructions, so he was temporarily relieved.

"I don't know if the lord will see you, but we will pass the news back."

Hearing what he said, Ye Lian, who had finally found hope, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​robbing the sword master.

Several people decided to find a resting place nearby and wait for the crow's news. However, Tanjiro Kamado was still very wary of Ye Lian's identity. Before going to the wisteria house together, he had to confirm Ye Lian's safety.

"This time you can explain, what exactly are you?"

"Is it a human, is it a ghost? Or... is it another creature?"

Ye Lian has always been a person who keeps his word, and if he wants these people to trust him, he must return the trust with facts.

Although people in this era seem to have never heard of monsters, Ye Lian still explained them in detail.

Sure enough, facing his unbelievable lines, Kamado Tanjiro looked very shocked.

"Demons, monsters? Isn't that something that only exists in stories? How come?"

After hearing the facts, he felt confused and at a loss.

All because of the fear of the unknown.

On the contrary, Tomioka Yoshiyuki took two steps forward very bravely, and under Ye Lian's gaze, he took the initiative to ask.

"what did you eat?"

Ye Lian was startled: "It's the same as your food."

"Drink blood?"

Ye Lian: "Don't drink."

"Can you walk in the sun?"

Ye Lian: "No problem."

"Hat on the head?"

Ye Lian: "Decoration."

So, Tomioka Yoshiyuki nodded when he was satisfied, and walked towards the wisteria house first: "If you lie, I will kill you."

"..."

Simple and rude, with appropriate details, in short, the solution is very fast.

Ye Lian liked this way of getting along very much, and followed him behind.

And Tanjirou Zamon's eyes flashed a bit of solemnity, and he quickly followed behind the two of them. The breath of humans is not the same as that of monsters. His nasal cavity is almost filled with the breath of Ye Lian, which seriously affected his judgment.

His intuition told him that Ye Lian didn't mean to hurt them, but he was a little wary of the aura Ye Lian brought to him.

It was a gloomy aura that belonged to the underworld, which was different from humans and ghosts.

As long as you touch it, you will be assimilated to certain emotions, and negative emotions will begin to erupt.

But Mr. Tomioka didn't seem to have anything wrong, probably because his nose is too sensitive to be able to smell so many things.

Kamado Tanjiro sighed deeply, and finally buried everything in his heart.

He observed Ye Lian carefully in the wisteria-printed room surrounded by wisterias, and found that Ye Lian didn't have any resistance to wisteria flowers, and after eating like ordinary people, he finally felt at ease.

But he didn't notice it when it was too dark outside, once he got to the light and Ye Lian took off his hat, Kamado Tanjiro immediately understood why Ye Lian was wearing a hat.

This face is incompatible with Japan, and it is more inclined to the western side. I am afraid that people who grew up in the village will have a distrust of Ye Lian's appearance.

"Sorry, did it make you uncomfortable?"

As if noticing his gaze, Ye Lian gently curled his lips, and took the hat back into his hand: "I'd better put it on."

"Ah! No need!" Zamon Tanjiro shook his hand nervously, facing the warm blue eyes, he felt a sudden burst of guilt in his heart: "I'm just a little surprised, it's nothing, right? , Mr. Tomioka?!"

Tanjiro Kamado wanted to resolve the embarrassment between the two of them in this way, but when he turned his head, what he saw was the scene where Yoshiyuki Tomioka had already crawled into the bed and slept dimly.

"..." It's amazing to be able to sleep at such a time, Mr. Tomioka.

The two and the monster slept through the night in relative silence. On the second day, a black crow circled over Kamado Tanjiro's head and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Meet the lord, meet the lord, Kamado Tanjirou, Tomioka Yoshiyuki came to meet the lord."

Kamado Tanjiro slightly clenched the Hikari sword in his palm, not to let himself look so surprised.

After all, it never occurred to him that the lord would actually agree to Ye Lian's request for a meeting.

What will happen in this meeting, and what does the lord think?

Kamado Tanjiro had a premonition that the fate of the future might change dramatically because of this meeting.

I just don't know whether such a change is right or wrong.

It will take three or four days to get to where the lord is. Although Ye Lian can fly freely in the air, it is useless if Tomioka Yoshiyuki and Kamado Tanjiro, who are human beings, do not come.

There is no way, Ye Lian can only move forward in a down-to-earth manner, and by the way, he can watch Zamon Tanjiro and his ghost-slaying career along the way.

"Do you know that there is a ghost with words carved in its eyes?"

Ye Lian has always wanted to find information about this ghost, but was unable to find anything, so he took the opportunity to ask them.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Kamado Tanjirou's expression immediately became serious: "Ah, that is the status symbol of one of the Twelve Oni, and is also the direct subordinate of Oni Mai Tsuji, very powerful."

"Ghost Dance Tsuji Wu Mi?" Hearing this name for the first time, he always felt that there was something interesting about it. Ye Lian frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking them more.

At this time, Zaomen Tanjiro, who had been with him for a few days, also understood how out of tune Ye Lian was with this society, but at the same time, he began to gradually accept Ye Lian in his heart. The goodwill is all sincere.

Therefore, facing Ye Lian's doubts, he almost knew everything.

"...In other words, as long as that Wu Mi is defeated, there will be no more ghosts in the world?"

"It should be like this." Zamon Tanjiro said hesitantly: "But it seems that the Twelfth Oni also has the ability to create ghosts, but they are all controlled by Wu Mi, who is the final boss of the Demon Slayer Team."

"My family, my mother, my brother and my sister... were all killed without mercy."

In the end, Tanjiro Zamon slowly poured out his deep hatred. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes flashed with determination: "I must find Wu Mi and defeat him! In order not to let more people suffer!"

"Really." The 14-year-old child's eyes burst out with a brilliance called hope, Ye Lian couldn't help smiling, and reached out to touch the top of his head: "You are such a gentle child, Tanjiro."

On the contrary, this action made Kamado Tanjiro touch his hair in embarrassment, and his cheeks were a little red: "I'm a little shy...Mr. Ye looks a few years older than me, doesn't he?"

"My time is fixed." Ye Lian compared the number three with his fingers, "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually three hundred years old."

"..."

Kamado Tanjiro was dumbfounded.

"……what???"

After several days of traveling, Ye Lian finally met the man called the lord.

"It's the first time I've met you. My name is Yuya Ubuyashiki."

The man was wearing a black and white kimono and sat on the tatami, exuding a gentle and jade-like temperament.

Even though half of his face is covered by ugly scars, he still feels so gentle and peaceful, like an enveloping sky, like a flowing stream.

"I've heard reports that you call yourself a monster... right?"

"Yes." Ye Lian sat across from him generously, and the two equally seductive beings looked at each other without any sense of disobedience.

Ubuyashiki Yoya has been watching Ye Lian's face, never surprised by this special facial features, but interested in Ye Lian's skillful and elegant tea drinking etiquette.

"It seems that you are very familiar with human etiquette."

Compared with a monster, the blond young man in front of him is more like an heir from a nobleman, an existence similar to him.

"I learned this from others when I was in England." Ye Lian subconsciously recalled the past.

He finally had a memory, and remembered that he learned the corresponding etiquette in England in the second mission after obtaining tender feelings from Natori Monday.

Black tea, wearing suits, and liking dolls are all knowledge acquired in that world.

All kinds of worlds make up the current Ye Lian.

And now Ye Lian can finally look back on the past and end his past self.

"It seems that you like human beings very much." From just a few words, Ubuyashiki Yoya came to the conclusion: "The purpose of your coming here is to find the Japanese sword that can kill demons, and that subordinate Where is Lu's ghost?"

Ye Lian nodded: "Exactly."

"I want to hear your reasons and judge whether you are beneficial to us." The smile on Yoya Miyayashiki's face faded a bit, with a business-like attitude, while Yoshiyuki Tomioka sat quietly with him Behind him, he was always vigilant about Ye Lian's movements, as if Ye Lian would draw his sword and attack whenever there was a possibility of a threat.

"Please tell me the truth, why do you want to find that ghost, is there any grievance between the monster and the ghost?"

Ye Lian's eyes were filled with darkness for a moment: "This is just my personal reason. I hate that ghost, so I want revenge."

Obstetrician Shiki Yoya: "Could it be, did he kill your relatives?"

Ye Lian said word by word: "No, the person he killed - it was me."

"what?!"

Kamado Tanjirou who was listening on the side shouted suddenly, and when he realized that his voice was too loud, he quickly covered his lips to cover it up, but the shock in his eyes still did not dissipate.

The ghost killed Ye Lian, what happened? !

On the contrary, Yuya Ubuyashiki is more mature and rational than him: "I see, do people become monsters after they die?"

In just a few words, he had guessed Ye Lian's origin.

"Only people who have strong resentment before death will become monsters. I am just a special example." Ye Lian showed a slight smile: "So the desire for revenge in my heart has been lingering for a long time, and I will never be free. that day."

"I see..." Miyayashiki Yoya closed his eyes, and the children who had just fantasized about dying would become monsters, and they had already dispersed lightly at this moment.

Tanjiro Kamado stared at Ye Lian even more in disbelief, his pupils wavering.

Ye Lian...was he already dead, killed by a ghost, and lived in this world as another existence.

What kind of emotion did Ye Lian feel when he was dying? The despair and resentment he smelled just now almost swallowed his heart, and the continuous surge of great sadness made him almost unable to bear it.

There is not only sadness, but also despair, numbness, and resentment, enough to imagine how painful Ye Lian was at that time.

Tanjirou Kamado closed his eyes, took a deep breath, he couldn't keep up the synchronization, he was about to be unable to bear this feeling.

"I have already understood your will, yes, I can specially create a sun wheel knife for you."

At this moment, Yashiki Yaozai suddenly smiled at Ye Lian, accepting Ye Lian from the bottom of his heart.

But before Ye Lian was happy, he said again: "But I'm sorry to tell you that the ghost who went down to the land is dead. A year ago, my subordinates passed by a village and happened to see that ghost killing people." , so he was killed."

"What?!" Ye Lian's spirit was shocked. A year ago, important words such as village kept rolling in his mind: "Where is that village?!"

Miyayashiki Yoya was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to ask such detailed questions, until he squeezed his chin and pondered for a while, he vaguely revealed some information: "It's about four days' journey north from here, ah... ...Speak up."

He lowered his eyes sadly: "It's very close to the village you met. On the second day after the ghost died, the village suddenly flooded for some reason, and there was nothing left in the end."

Ye Lian: "..."

When he was chased by the ghost that day, he obviously didn't escape very fast, but he didn't meet the ghost in the end.

This is also the opportunity for him to become a monster.

It turned out that it wasn't that the ghost didn't come after him that day, but that at that time, a member of the ghost killer came and killed him.

Ye Lian gently closed his eyes, the anger and resentment in his chest slowly dissipated imperceptibly.

The object of his vengeance was gone.

His revenge will never be avenged.

If the ghost killers had arrived sooner, maybe he wouldn't have died from blood loss, but if the ghost killers hadn't arrived, maybe he wouldn't have been able to continue living as a youkai.

No matter which one you choose, you will lose your original essence.

Now is his best future.

He exists here, and because of this, he meets many people and feels many emotions. In this regard, he should be grateful to that person.

"...What is that person's name?"

"Butterfly Shinobu." Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled gracefully: "I hope you can become friends."

"I remember." Ye Lian kept this person's name in his heart, and sighed heavily: "Since the person I want to revenge is no longer here, then I..."

"I want to make a proposal, Mr. Ye." At this time, Yoya Miyayashiki suddenly said seriously: "Is it really okay to just give up like this?"

Ye Lian was startled: "What does this mean?"

Yuya Miyayashiki: "Since you were killed by a ghost, you should also understand how painful and desperate it is for a person killed by a ghost. As long as ghosts exist, our pain will never stop. "

"In order to protect such suffering people, our Ghost Slaying Squad was established. As you can see, most of the members of the Ghost Slaughtering Squad are young people who volunteered to become fighters because of suffering."

"They don't care about life and death, they just want to protect the world and important people."

Yuya Ubuyashiki's voice was very soft, but there was deep sadness in this softness.

All he can do is to help these children grow up, and the rest is just to watch them go away.

"Our ultimate goal is to find Wu Mi and bring these tragedies to an end."

"If you don't want more tragedies like you to exist, please come and help us."

"God gave you a new possibility to live again, perhaps just to make you our new hope."

"Monsters, powerful existences sustained by the human heart... This feature of yours is likely to be a huge weapon against ghosts."

"Please come and help us, please come and protect this world, in order to protect more young and helpless children, in order to protect this country, please... think about it."

After saying all this, Yashiki Yaozai bowed his head deeply to Ye Lian, this was his respect and also his request.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Suddenly, he coughed violently, his physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, and his body was almost unable to bear it. If he could find a glimmer of hope at the end of his life, this would be the last thing he could do.

"Lord!"

Even Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who usually has a straight face, showed a worried expression at this time and looked at Yaoya Ubuyashiki, which is enough to show the status of Yaoya Ubuyashiki in his heart.

Hearing this, Ye Lian's eyes shone with tiny rays of light, and he lowered his eyes in a little confusion.

Want to help humanity?

Want to help humans in this world?

He hadn't even thought about such a thing.

What should he do?

-

"This is destiny, you are stepping into destiny step by step."

In the world of Huahai, a man in a white hood held a scepter and sighed slightly.

It was Ye Lian's destiny that he had seen hundreds of years ago.

"Don't resist it, accept it, your future has already been paved, Lian."

The author has something to say: I have found a new goal, and the big boss is all right!

Speaking of ghost slayer is too tragic, so I decided to let everyone survive, and set a setting where Ye Lian specifically restrains Wu Mi.

In fact, after reading the comics, many people were basically killed in battle, so it is obviously unreasonable for Ye Lian to fight alone.

This is a bug...but I still like the ending of he, let's have a happy reunion~
