On how to get to the top with multiple jobs

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

The wooden sword drew a full arc from the air, and crescent-shaped light spots drifted from under the sword light, like a beautiful meteor shower.

Hei Si Mou stood on the side upright, and commented with Yi Wo Zuo who was holding his hand: "There is no murderous intent."

Yiwozuo stretched out his hand, he twirled the light spot in his hand, and said in a low voice: "...even the deterrent effect is very little."

After all, it is a child raised by a happy family.And he is still such a silly kid who is slightly big-hearted, only remembers the good of others, and doesn't take messy things to his heart.

——It was originally a move that could tear people's limbs apart alive, but in his hands, it only left the function of pleasing others... This seems to be a very normal thing.

"Let him continue to practice." Hei Si Mou looked away, "What's going on with Tong Mo recently?"

Yiwoza said indifferently: "Like a mad dog. He is still looking for people. He seems to have assigned a task to the believers and asked the group of humans to find Tanjiro. I heard that they haven't even eaten much human flesh lately—you Knowing that I hate him, I wouldn't specifically inquire about it."

Hei Si Mou closed his eyes: "It's really...unbelievable."

Tong Mo would still be so persistent.

He didn't have any fresh ideas when facing flesh and blood, and turned a blind eye to the emotions and desires of the believers. He was clearly a born ghost.

"I haven't eaten for half a year." Hei Si Mou opened one eye, he looked at Yi Wo Zuo quietly, and said almost impersonally, "You know what to do, right?"

Yiwoza stared at him silently for a while, and then shifted his gaze to Tanjiro in the distance.

The little child waved the sword in his hand with a serious face.The flames from the sword splashed everywhere.A sword light hit the tree, and the branches and leaves shook violently, but the light spot turned into a gentle star and fell from midair.

He is a person who doesn't even have the heart to hurt grass and trees.

...But such a person has a heart as tough as a warrior.Those thoughts of wanting to protect something turned into his indomitable motivation and gave him the strength to hone his sword skills.

Yi Wozuo heard himself reply calmly: "He hasn't been in contact with strangers for a long time. It's time to walk into the crowd."

Tanjiro's nose moved slightly.The immature mountain master's eyes lit up, and he realized that the two guardians were nearby. He looked around, and when he found them, he happily stretched out his hand and greeted them loudly.

"Mr. Hei Si Mou! Mr. Yi Wo Zuo! How is my practice!"

Hei Si Mou walked past Yi Wo Zuo, he looked at the child with a bright smile, and gently rubbed the other's head with his eyes: "It's very good."

Yiwoza stepped forward: "Tanjirou, I'm going to take you out today. Change into your clothes and get ready to go."

Tanjiro was taken aback for a moment, he turned his head to look at Heishimou, paused thoughtfully, and then nodded.

His clear eyes were filled with trust, and the little boy smiled softly and said, "Okay."

...The two adults present felt a dull pain in their conscience at the same time.

.

"Mr. Yiwoza." Tanjiro gently pulled the man's hand, the man squatted down knowingly, and heard the child whispering in his ear: "Is Mr. Heiseimou hungry?"

"...!!" Yiwoza turned his head abruptly, almost bumping into Tanjiro.The little boy exclaimed and almost fell, Yi Wozuo pulled the hand attached to the opponent's waist, and pulled the opponent back.

Yiwozuo avoided the boy's gaze: "You know?"

His voice was low, even a little hoarse.

Tanjiro gave him a worried look: "Be careful, Mr. Yiwoza. And... of course I know."

The man gave him a suspicious look.That gaze was full of surprise and uncertainty.

Tanjiro met his eyes, and flicked his forehead lightly: "But the smell of blood on your body is so light. Compared with this, the smell of killing is stronger. Compared with eating, your feeling It's more like a normal appetite suppression. That's it."

"..."

"I don't think the two of you will lie to me... So, the two of you really chose to drink human flesh just to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. Right?"

Yiwozuo lowered his eyes and said in a complicated tone: "So what if you are, so what if you are not?"

He doesn't remember his past.

Tanjiro took his hand: "Take me to see that person, okay?"

The one who is treated as food.

Yiwozuo's Adam's apple moved up and down slightly, and his expression was almost patient: "Do you know what you are talking about, kid?... You won't be able to bear it."

Tanjiro raised his head, and he looked at Yiwoza firmly.

This look.

Ahhhhhhh, this look!Don't look at me with this kind of eyes - Yi Wozuo thought in his heart!This is disgusting!The eyes of the weak! ! !

He covered his face and said in a low voice, "I'll take you there."

Just take you there.Brat!Don't look at me with such loving eyes again!Disgusting! !I hate it the most, the most disgusting thing is this kind of look!

Yiwoza took Tanjiro along the edge of Infinite City for a long walk, and found a small bag from a room full of twists and turns.

Inside the bag is a human heart.

Tanjiro opened the bag with both hands.The blood on it stained his hands, but he didn't care at all, he just held the heart quietly.Get close and smell it gently with your nose.

"Mr. Yiwoza." Tanjiro opened his eyes, but he didn't turn his head: "Did Mr. Heishimu bring it himself?"

"……Correct."

"This is a healthy, full heart that belongs to a human samurai." Tanjiro sat kneeling in the corner, and Yiwoza saw something like a drop of water glide across the child's face, revealing the crystal light, but The child didn't stop, his voice was powerful, "At the last moment of death, this heart was also beating violently. He died fighting to the last moment."

The child turned his head to look at Yiwozuo, he said: "... At least, he has been respected. Such a warrior must be able to ascend to the bliss without any distractions."

Tanjirou's face was covered with tears.

Those big drops of tears rolled down from the corners of the eyes, flowed down the face with baby fat, and flowed down the last curve of the lips.While weeping, the boy smiled and said, "He died happily."

Yiwozuo felt at a loss.

Why can Tanjiro say such a thing so arbitrarily?Death is terrible, dying is painful.How can there be a happy death in this world?The man's body was cut open, and the heart was about to be used as nourishment for the ghost.

This is clearly... very sad.

Tanjiro lowered his heart reverently, folded his palms together, and muttered something Yiwoza couldn't understand.After a while, the child got up, wiped his face with his sleeves, and took Yi Wozuo's hand again: "Let's go."

Yiwozuo lowered his eyes.The long eyelashes fell on the face, and the shadows spread like a fan.He whispered, "Yeah."

"Mr. Yiwozuo, are you going to take me to a nearby town?"

"……Um."

The entry and exit points of Infinity City have been changed again.Naruto, who is in charge of the entrance and exit, has a meticulous personality so that there will be no loopholes.

Yiwoza led Tanjiro away for a long time in silence.

Tanjiro tugged at his hand, and excitedly pointed at the flowing water in front of him: "Mr. Yiwoza, let's take a rest here! There is a river here!"

He was no longer being carried by Yiwozuo... In fact, he refused to be carried for a walk a few months ago.

Because he feels that he should be an existence that is relied on by others, rather than relying on the existence of others.At the time, Hei Si Mou thought this point of view was funny, but thinking that it might be a child's self-esteem, he simply let him make his own decisions.

The two of them rested for a while, and Yi Wozuo suddenly made a sound.He stared at Tanjiro, and asked a question: "Do you really want to fulfill that so-called agreement?"

Tanjiro kicked the water in the river, smiled easily, "Of course."

"Do you know?" Yiwoza whispered, "Your moves are not murderous, and you have no fighting spirit. I know you are a natural fighter, but sometimes I still have doubts about you. Tanjiro. You It's so special. Why do you feel meaningless about ghosts eating people? You even laugh and say things that only weak people would say... Tanjiro, I really hate you, I don't know what it is to do it all over again Meaning, things haven't changed much so far, and I'm a little tired."

"Mr. Yiwozuo?"

Meteor Meteor stepped forward and hugged the boy, and he said, "Tanjiro. Is it because you are a human being that you are so weak? It is because you are human that you have no murderous intentions. There is nothing except the so-called agreement." Other fighting spirits? How can death be bliss—eternal life is true bliss, only then can you pursue higher things—”

Tanjiro patted the man's broad shoulders worriedly: "Mr. Yiwoza, what's wrong with you?"

"Tanjiro." Yiwoza raised his head, his gaze was firm: "I will not hesitate any longer. I borrowed the blood of adults from several other Kamizuru. This time, I will inject it into your body, so that You've become a ghost through and through."

The man tore off his collar, stretched out his sharp teeth, and plunged into the boy's shoulder.

Purgatory Xingshourou frowned: This time?Is he the second person on board?

He's not worried about Tanjirou turning into a ghost.Because he believed in Tanjiro.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka on the side covered his mouth: That's how it is!I see! !No wonder Tanjiro has a scar left by a ghost on his shoulder—so, did he almost become a ghost? !

... No wonder he has such a strange attitude.

It feels strange to be injected with a foreign fluid.Not to mention that Wu Mi's blood was cold, and the icy touch made the boy shiver.But he still patted Rare on the shoulder understandingly.After the man's fangs fell out, Tanjiro said in a low voice, "But, it's useless to me. I'm the owner of the mountain. I have a symbiotic relationship with the insects—it's impossible for me to become a ghost."

He ignored the strange words the other party said, imitating Yi Wozuo's usual appearance and rubbing his head clumsily: "I'm sorry, Yiwozuo. I really don't have murderous intent. I don't have the determination to kill anyone .And the current me is too weak to fulfill your desire. The promise I made with you will be fulfilled by me when I grow up."

Yi Wozuo looked up, his face was blank.The two messages dropped by Tanjiro fell like bombs, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He bit his lips: "What do you mean?"

Tanjiro pondered for a while, his eyes fell to the river.

The clear voice of the child sounded: "Mr. Yiwozuo. Do you know?"

Yi Wozuo still looked at him in bewilderment, without making a sound.

"Water is where insects swim. I want to convey something to you through my mouth under the river." The innocent and lovely child smiled and held Yiwozuo's hand, leading him into the river: " I am the one who dreams."

"—But, you are the one who chooses to go back to the past."

The wound bleeds continuously, rejecting foreign things.The bloodstains on the small shoulders looked terrible.But the fearless child propelled the man into the water lightly: "Your memory is blank. The medium is wrong, we have come to the past of 'me'. This is not right. Now let 'me' go to the right 'other shore' side."

Across the waves, the little child let go of his hand.

He said softly: "—and it's time for me to go home."

The pink-haired youth disappeared.

A strange man with pointed ears suddenly appeared on the spot. The man looked at the child's wound, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I've been waiting for a long time."

But you never responded to me.

Tanjiro smiled and stuck out his tongue: "Because there is something that must be done. I'm sorry. I entrusted you with my last name, memory and emotion, right? Can you return it to me now?"

"Of course." The drug seller flicked his forehead. There was no extra expression on his face, but a slight tenderness in his eyes: "This is your thing."

"Oh right! There is one more thing I almost forgot—" Tanjiro turned his head and waved to San Nizhu: "Go down quickly, the person you are looking for is on the back of the river."

He blinked and said with a smile on his face, "I hope you can find what you've been looking for. I wish you all the best of luck."
