[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

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

The shadows of the trees spilled into the room through the windows, and the wind blows. In this quiet courtyard, people can almost forget the passage of seasons.

After that, everything went smoothly. Although he became a little inarticulate, but beside familiar people, Yiyong gradually talked a little more, and he could see some shadows of the past.

They chatted about their recent missions, about Master Ryotaki, and about whether Satu's hair was so messy because it was trimmed with a Japanese knives.

Sato couldn't laugh or cry.

It would be great if this kind of time can be longer, maybe the sun is too glaring today, Jiuyuan Hiiragi couldn't help but have naive thoughts.

But he was just thinking about it. It didn't take long for the raven to fly to the window to notify him of the next mission.So Kuhara Hiiragi could only take Inosuke, who was gnawing on snacks beside him, to leave first.

"Inosuke, don't cause trouble for Hiiragi." Said Sato before leaving.

At the insistence of Kuhara Hiiragi "Since everyone is a member of the Demon Slayer Team and there is not much difference in age, you don't need to call me senior brother anymore", he and Giyuu also changed their names.

"Don't teach me a lesson, Rutou." Inosuke waved his fist, casually nicknamed him, and walked out the door without looking back.

Ah, he is so mad at him, every time he meets this guy called Satu, Kihara will start to ignore him, with an attitude of "children don't want to interrupt when adults talk".

The point is that he can't beat both of them.

Kuhara Hiiragi didn't know why Inosuke was angry again, so he had no choice but to follow and walked outside into the sunlight.

"Take care of yourself."

He turned his head and waved his hand, turned around and caught up with Inosuke who was running around.

……

A short reunion followed by a long parting.

That year, the decades-long vacancy in the ghost killing team water column was finally filled.

The following year, the ghost killing team members Immortal Kawa Minami and Kakino Masaki jointly killed the Twelve Onizuki, one of the last strings, and the team member Kakino Masaki sacrificed, and Immortal Kawa Minami became the pillar of wind.

In the same year, the original Yanzhu - the son of Yanju Makijuro, Lianji Xingjurou, became the new Yanzhu.

……

The new generation Zhuzheng of the Demon Slayer Squad grew up rapidly with the passage of time, but Kuhara Hiiragi only heard about all this, and had no real feeling.

For more than a year, the biggest thing for him is that Inosuke has mastered the breathing method.That day he went out on a mission and placed Inosuke in the mountains, and the kid who had nothing to do began to compete with Xiong.

I don't know what happened that day, but when Kuhara Hiiragi came back, he saw the giant bear who had passed out on the ground, and Inosuke who had already started breathing intensively.

He seems to be less than ten years old?Kuhara Hiiragi thought with some surprise.

Inosuke called his breathing method the breath of the beast. Although he still doesn't know how to use a sword, when using the breathing method, his skin and five senses, which are particularly alert, will become stronger, and he can even detect the movement within a radius of more than ten meters. The troubles inside.

"I can beat you now!" Inosuke eagerly raised his fist, "Come and fight with me! Jiu...Kihara!"

Kuhara Hiiragi: "Did you just..."

Inosuke pretended not to understand, and interrupted: "Stop talking nonsense! Do you want to fight or not!"

"..."

Sure enough, the kid did it on purpose for the past few years, Kuhara Hiiragi waved his hand expressionlessly: "You can try it."

After learning the breathing method, Inosuke is indeed more difficult than before, especially in the past few years, he has learned many boxing and body skills of Kuhara Hiiragi. This amazingly talented child can always discard some things he doesn't need in his moves. .

"The strength has increased, but the problem is still the same," Kuhara Hiiragi caught Inosuke's attack with his palm, and swung it out along with his strength, "The attack is too targeted, and it doesn't leave a way for yourself to retreat, so it's easy..."

He was only halfway through speaking, when he suddenly saw Inosuke who had been thrown out suddenly turn around in the air with incredible flexibility, and kicked him in the head with one leg sideways.

Kuhara Hiiragi was startled, and quickly let go of Inosuke's hand, and at the same time slammed his feet to avoid the blow, and the strong wind violently lifted the hair on his forehead.Kuhara Hiiragi's eyes finally became serious, but just as he was about to fight back, he saw that Inosuke didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue after the kick, but fell back to the ground and began to pant.

"Not bad," he commented, "but the ghost won't give you a chance to breathe."

Inosuke rushed over again, but this time he fell to the ground within a few rounds.

"Your foundation has been laid very solid, it's time to hold the sword. But my swordsmanship is not superb, I can introduce you to the educator."

He had already started to think about which breathing teacher he should give Inosuke to, but the next second he saw the exhausted half-dead child jumping up suddenly.

"Are you going to drive me away!?"

"...?"

"In short, in short, I haven't learned all your moves yet, and I won't leave until I defeat you! Just get ready to be a stepping stone!"

Then you might not be able to leave, Kuhara Hiiragi thought to himself, but in the end he didn't say much, just patted Inosuke on the head.

"come on."

A few days later, the letter crow brought a new mission, and they went around and followed the letter crow back to Tokyo Prefecture. This time, the mission location was in Okutama County, a small town some distance from Mount Otake.

Looking for ghosts in such a big town?He wanted to ask Inosuke, who was born nearby, if he had any impression of this, but when he turned around, he saw the child quietly tugging at the hem of his haori clothes, looking around cautiously.

Are you afraid?Jiuyuan Hiiragi felt a little surprised, and at the same time gave up the idea of ​​asking him, and changed his words: "After traveling for so long, do you want to take a rest?"

Inosuke thought for a while, "I'm hungry."

Kuhara Hiiragi nodded, while the sky was still bright, he also wanted to find a place to eat and replenish his energy.

Thinking this way, he suddenly saw a man sitting on the side of the road. It was a young man with his head hanging down and he didn't know what he was thinking.And when the people around saw him, they seemed to avoid him as usual.

"Hi, excuse me." Kuhara Hiiragi stepped forward, "Is there any place nearby where I can eat and sleep?"

The person sitting on the side of the road was stunned for a while, then looked up at Jiuyuan Hiiragi, showing a friendly smile, "Are you a foreigner? There is a teahouse called Yinxi'an in the town, which is pretty good. You Go this way..."

He stood up to show Kuhara Hiiragi the way, and then sat on the side of the road, maintaining a motionless posture, seemingly indifferent to the comings and goings of the people around him.

Kuhara Hiiragi noticed that some pedestrians around him cast unfriendly glances at them, and felt puzzled: "Why are you sitting here?"

"I'm waiting for my sister." The young man said, turning his eyes to the end of the road, as if remembering something good, with a smile on his lips, "After she left, the family moved. My sister has always been timid. I might cry if I can’t find a home. So I have to wait here for her.”

It turned out to be the case.

"I wish your sister well."

The young man froze for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize what he was talking about.

"Thank you." But when he said this, Kuhara Hiiragi had already gone away.

According to the guidance of the young man, Jiuyuan Hiiragi quickly found a teahouse named Yinxian.The store opened on the corner of the street, the entrance was small, but there were already many people sitting inside.

After ordering and sitting down, he heard the whispers of the people around him.

"...Speaking of which, I saw a big beauty in the town before, wearing a butterfly-colored haori, and she smiled at me when she saw me!"

"Really? Have you gone to talk to someone?"

"I didn't. Her sister looked so fierce. I was stared back just as I thought about it."

This combination sounds familiar.Just as Kuhara Hiiragi was thinking about it, he heard what the other table thought was a very low whisper.

"That Chuan Fu still sits on the side of the road all day?"

"Yeah, I've been talking about waiting for his sister. Alas, I'm a poor man. But what can I do? He refuses to go to the hospital for treatment, and he can't be persuaded. We can only let him stay there."

The person who was talking raised his head, and suddenly saw Hiiragi Kuhara who had moved to the table at some point, and was startled, "You, what do you do?"

"The Chuanfu you mentioned just now, do you mean the young man sitting on the street over there?" He asked.

The person who was talking froze for a moment, then nodded: "Do you want to inquire about him?"

"Well, I asked him the way."

"It looks like you're an outsider, right? ... I'm talking too much, but I advise you to stay away from him." The chatter took a sip of tea, "That guy is out of his mind."

Jiuyuan Hiiragi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. Although he didn't know much about it, judging from the situation just now, that young man was obviously a very friendly person.

"That guy's name is Chuanfu. He just sits there and waits for his sister without doing anything after working all day." The man frowned. , It’s frightening to death. Even if everyone sympathized with him and saw his bewildered appearance, who would you say is not afraid.”

"Why?" It's obviously justifiable to find my sister.

The man sighed.

"The relatives of that guy died a year ago."

Kuhara Hiiragi was stunned.

"The Chuanfu family was originally on the edge of the town. They probably encountered some kind of wild animal. The whole family was killed... so you can't blame him. Anyone who sees that kind of scene will go crazy. That guy found it not far from home. I took my sister's hairpin, and insisted that my sister is not dead, but it has been a year." The person talking shook his head and stopped talking.

"...So that's how it is." Kuhara Hiiragi was silent for a while, then lowered his head, "Sorry for bothering you."

He is also a person who has been harmed by ghosts so that his life would be worse than death.

He frowned, then returned to Inosuke who was eating.

"I have something to inquire about. You eat first, and then wait for me here."

Inosuke knew that Kuhara Hiiragi was going to complete the task of killing ghosts again, so he would not be confused about this kind of thing, so he nodded: "You can't forget me again."

"Ah, I promise."

The author has something to say:

say something.

Due to my personal reasons, I will not consider applying for a contract for the time being.

But I like the atmosphere here, everyone is so kind, so I will always use happiness to generate electricity.

But also because of this, the review of this article will probably continue to be so slow.

Please bear with me (crying)
