[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

==============================

When he just entered the temple yesterday, Inosuke felt that something was wrong.

It was a vague intuition, which disappeared without a trace when he turned his head and looked around.So Inosuke didn't take it seriously, just thought that the smell of bamboo in the temple was too strong to make him uncomfortable.

But that night, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he felt that something seemed to be watching him from the corner of the warehouse.

In the dead of night, all kinds of feelings became very clear.It was a soft and loving gaze, like a mother watching her child, but it looked weird in the darkness, making Inosuke hairy.

He was in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but sit up and look around, but it was the same as when he first entered the temple, as long as he looked over, the sight disappeared again.

He wanted to wake up Kuhara Hiiragi, but suppressed the thought in the next second.Because there is indeed no ghost breath, if you wake up others at this time, wouldn't it be the same as being too scared to sleep?The one next to him... the rabbit might even laugh at him.

Thinking of this, Inosuke gritted his teeth and lay down again, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, at this moment he heard something moving around him.

It was Kuhara Hiiragi, he turned over as if he felt something, and turned from lying on his back to Inosuke's direction.The latter thought he was awake, but after waiting for a while, those eyes did not open either.

...the man said he would protect him.

Thinking of this, he frowned and closed his eyes, yelling in his heart that I don't need protection, how can a younger brother protect his elder brother?But even if he didn't want to admit it, his heart was indeed relieved a lot, and even though that sight followed him all night, he managed to fall asleep again.

This ghostly place really made him feel uncomfortable, but luckily he left early tomorrow morning.

It should be like this.

I was about to leave soon, but why did those two guys go back again!

Inosuke stood in front of the mountain gate, kicked the stone hard on the ground, and watched it roll into the morning mist not far away.

It is definitely not a good thing to go back to the temple, but it is still uncomfortable to stay outside. The smell of bamboo in the temple is very strong, and you can smell it even here.

He looked at the master abbot who was facing away from him, looking in the direction of the temple, and found a hole in the corner of the other's robe.

"Old man, don't you feel the air leaking out of your robe?" He was free, so he asked.

The abbot waved his hand, "No need to mend, this robe has been like this for several years."

"Oh." Inosuke stopped thinking about it in a blink of an eye, "Hey old man, what is the one you burned..."

But in the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped and looked around in a defensive posture.

Again.

That feeling of being stared at.

"Hide what! If you have the guts, come out and fight with me!"

He raised his fist and shouted, but at this moment, the fog around him became thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few seconds that made it almost impossible to react, he couldn't even see the figure of the abbot.

"What is this thing so evil! Hey old man, can you hear me talking!?"

no respond.

The fog was so thick that it became blurry less than two meters away, and Inosuke focused on space perception.But at this moment, the skin on his back suddenly felt something.

He turned around and saw a person walking slowly from the fog.

It was a woman, neatly dressed, luxuriously dressed, and surrounded by mist, like a lady walking down from a painting.

"Good morning, the weather is very nice today." The woman said with a smile on her face, her golden eyes were full of kindness and joy, "Your name is Inosuke, right? What a good name."

What weather is fine?Today is obviously cloudy...

Inosuke suddenly realized that he froze on the spot. Although he couldn't detect anything strange under the cover of Zhuxiang, his intuition told him that this woman was undoubtedly a ghost.

"Good boy, come to my side."

The woman said, stretching out her blue and white slender hand to him.

"Snapped!"

Inosuke slammed her outstretched hand away, and at the same time took a few steps back: "You are the one who has been staring at me, right? You are a hidden thing, don't get close to me!"

The woman withdrew her hand, her face was gloomy, and she didn't speak for a long time. Just when Inosuke couldn't bear to go up and attack, she suddenly covered her lips with one hand and smiled softly.

"Hehehe...it's okay, it's okay," she smiled, her voice was extremely weird, as if it contained love and malice that penetrated deep into the bone marrow at the same time, "don't be afraid, Inosuke, even if you are a bad boy, mom still loves you .”

Inosuke was so disgusted that he had goosebumps all over his body, but in the next second, he suddenly saw that the woman was close at hand, and then that blue-white hand firmly strangled his throat.

"You...!" Inosuke's feet were lifted off the ground, and he kept struggling, but the slender female arm remained motionless as if made of iron.

"Come with mom." The woman smiled and looked at the struggling child, then took off Inosuke's headgear with the other hand and threw it aside, "Ah, isn't this cute? You will definitely get along well with everyone. "

In her gentle voice like a loving mother, Inosuke lost consciousness.

In the temple not far away, Kuhara Hiiragi, who was investigating in the warehouse, suddenly looked sideways in the direction of the mountain gate.

"Did you find anything?" Saito looked over.

"No, it's nothing..." Jiuyuan Hiiragi frowned slightly, just now he was inexplicably flustered, but there were indeed some noteworthy things in the warehouse, so he ignored the strange moment just now.

"Look at this." He handed Satu a piece of paper in his hand. The piece of paper was pressed at the bottom of the dusty storage box, as if it had been left behind by someone.

It was a children's painting that had turned yellow and gray. In the painting, the children held hands and surrounded a bearded monk. There seemed to be something written in the corner of the painting, which seemed to be the artist's signature.

"Koharu?"

Sato read out the blurred name, and frowned: "Sure enough, this temple has adopted children, but why did the abbot keep it a secret?"

No, it's not a secret.

His reaction at the time was more like... forgetting?Sato was thinking, when he saw Hiiragi Kuhara stood up abruptly and rushed out of the warehouse.

"You stay and continue the investigation, I'll go to the mountain gate."

"Brother?"

Sabito turned his head, only in time to see the tail of his hair disappearing outside the door.

Why did the abbot forget the children in the temple?Where are those children now?Jiuyuan Hiiragi didn't have time to think about it, he just felt that he should move faster, so he shuttled through the temple full of bamboo fragrance, skipping thresholds and hall doors, some monks looked at him in surprise and asked him what's wrong , but he had no time to answer.

I must return to the mountain gate quickly, otherwise it will be too late...

The wind, mixed with mist, brushed his dark hair with a chill.

Suddenly, Jiuyuan Hiiragi felt a sudden sinking in his heart, and his dark eyes shrank immediately. It seemed that something important was lost in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it like a dream that had just woken up.

I'm going back to the mountain gate, what am I doing?

I don't know, I can't remember it, but if I don't pass it, I always feel that it will be very bad.

"It's Mr. Jiuyuan, what's the matter?" The abbot seemed to be in deep thought standing in front of the mountain gate. When he saw Hiiragi Jiuyuan rushing over suddenly, he asked, "Did you find anything?"

Jiuyuan Hiiragi didn't answer, just stared blankly at the empty mountain gate in front of him, there was no sign of anyone else except the abbot.

"No..." Jiuyuan Hiiragi showed doubts, as if he was answering the abbot's words, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "Why not?"

"What?" The abbot didn't know what he was talking about.

"Are you alone here?"

He asked hesitantly, and at the same time seemed to be wondering why he was asking this question.

The abbot nodded: "No one else has been here."

What's the matter?Am I really overthinking it?Just as Jiuyuan Hiiragi was thinking this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the shadow of the woods from the corner of his eye. He looked carefully and found that it was a very familiar wild boar headgear, which seemed to have been left behind not long ago, and had not been stained with a few fallen leaves.

"I heard that there is a ghost slayer with a wild boar, so it's the brother." He suddenly recalled what Saitu said yesterday.

Is this my thing?He frowned and walked over, wanting to pick up the headgear, but at the moment when his hands just touched the wild boar hair.

"Kihara!"

A familiar voice seemed to sound in his mind, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, as if a curtain that hindered his memory was suddenly pulled open.

"Yizhi... help?"

When Sato left the barn, he saw that the fog in the courtyard was thicker than before.

"Is this often like this in the monastery?" He asked a monk passing by.

"It's quite common to see fog like this on the mountain." The monk replied, "Don't worry, it will clear up in a while."

Sabito nodded. He looked at the sky that was so gloomy that it seemed that it was going to rain, and stepped into the mist. He was about to go to the Garando where he had just found Borō's letter, but before he could take a few steps, suddenly I saw that the fog around me was getting thicker.

Something was approaching, and the moment he made this judgment in his mind——

"Water Breathing - One Shape - Water Surface Slash!"

The Sun Wheel Knife was unsheathed in an instant, and the light blue blade drew an astonishing arc of light in the air, like a leap of waves, tearing a large gap in the thick fog around Saitu, and his whole body became clear.

"What an amazing sword skill." In the still thick fog not far away, a woman sighed, "I really can't underestimate the ghost killers. You look like a young man, but you can also detect the existence of the concubine. .”

"Who is there."

Sabito looked in the direction of the voice with his knife in his cold eyes.

"Ah, my concubine planned to let you go, but who knew you would stay?" A woman's figure stepped out of the mist, she covered her lips and smiled, her golden eyes were full of love , "But I really want to thank you for bringing a lovely child to my concubine."

cute child?What is she saying?Satoshi frowned.

"You must have forgotten that child named Inosuke." The woman narrowed her eyes, "But you can't blame you, after all, in this mist with the scent of bamboo, no one can remember the child who disappeared .”

Inosuke...?Sabito's eyes widened slightly.By the way, Brother Jiuyuan has an apprentice with this name, but he actually forgot all about it just now.

"Where is he now!?" Before he finished his sentence, the blade was already approaching the woman's neck, but when he swung the blade, he only hit the mist in the courtyard, and the one standing there just now was just an afterimage.

"You don't have to worry too much, Inosuke is very good," the woman's voice came from behind Sato, "he will have a good time with the other children of my concubine."

"Water Breathing-Three Types-Liu Liu Wu!"

He quickly caught the woman's figure in the mist, smashing afterimages one after another in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, the mist in the huge courtyard was also driven away.

"It's really tough."

Ghost Ru complained.The fog has dissipated, and it can only appear in its real body without any afterimages, but judging by its calm and composed attitude, it seems that it has anticipated the current situation.

"You can't win against me." She had a calm and gentle smile on her lips, "but facing the honored guests of the Ghost Slayer Squad whom I haven't seen for a long time, I can't lose my manners."

"When we met for the first time, we were disappointed."

Her golden eyes widened slightly, allowing Sato to clearly see the words "Xiaxian Er" in her left eye.

"The concubine is the mother of ghosts in the twelve ghost months."

The author has something to say:

Originally created a lower string II, the prototype and source of inspiration came from the Buddhist "Jie Bo Tu".

Ghosts should not be afraid of cloudy days, right?In the original work, Nezuko stayed in the cloudy sky for a long time when she first became a ghost. At that time, she should not have overcome the sunshine.

Of course, if it is because she is special that she is not afraid of cloudy days, please ignore the bug that ghosts are not afraid of cloudy days (bow)

Me: This ghost blablabla was set up privately... Anyway, to catch children, so Inosuke was targeted.

Slacker:?

What's wrong with me?

Slacker: Isn't he a pig?
