[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

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

The sky had already darkened, and the vermilion sun fell on the river far away from the town, leaving only a distant line, dragging a long shadow on the river as if melting.

Although there are street lights and the shops on both sides of the street are also lit, the small town is still not as good as those big cities in Tokyo Prefecture, and the number of people still decreases as the sky gets darker.

Chuanfu Zhenglu sat on the side of the street, looking at the gradually deserted street scene, the flying insects under the extended street lights, and the backs of people who were getting farther and farther away from him.

It was the same as yesterday, the same as the days before, nothing had changed.

Although he still firmly believes that his sister is still alive, the long wait has gradually worn away his initial eagerness.He was thinking in his heart whether he should wait here today, when he heard a voice behind him.

"Mr. Chuanfu."

Chuan Fuzhenglu was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and saw a young man dressed in black and feathers, and he recognized that it was the one who asked him the way not long ago.

"You, why are you here again?"

After being regarded as a lunatic by the people around him, no one took the initiative to call his name for a long time. At this time, he asked a little out of habit, "How did you know my name?"

"I heard some rumors in the teahouse."

"That's it."

Chuan Fuzheng smiled wryly: "If you are also here to persuade me, please go back, my mind is very clear... Even if it is not clear, it has nothing to do with others."

"I just want to ask something." He turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Jiuyuan Hiiragi say, "Your family members may not have been killed by wild beasts, I came here to complete the task of killing ghosts, I hope you can provide information .”

"What did you say?" He turned his head and frowned as if he didn't hear clearly.

"I said, the murderer who killed your family may be..."

"Do you want to say it was a ghost?" Chuan Fu interrupted him suddenly.

Kuhara Hiiragi was a little surprised that this person knew the existence of ghosts, but it would be easier to talk about it this way.

"Yes."

"What's the use of coming here now!"

Chuanfu Masamune suddenly increased his voice, and at the same time took a step forward to grab Kuhara Hiiragi's collar, the original timid expression was gone, replaced by an inexplicable anger.

"I know your team uniform, I asked about it. But the night my family was killed a year ago..." Why didn't your ghost killing team come?He gritted his teeth and held back the words.

Kuhara Hiiragi didn't answer, but looked at him helplessly.I wondered if I should shoot this person into the ground to calm him down.

This person regards his missing sister as his last hope. He has suffered a year of fruitless search and the indifference of people around him. The pain cannot be explained clearly in a few words.So he could understand the feeling of wanting to find an outlet, but if this person did something to him, things would be different.

Fortunately, after being watched by his calm black eyes for a while, Chuanfu soon realized the rudeness of his behavior. He let go of Jiuyuan Hiiragi, lowered his head and squatted down covering his own head, and his attitude returned to the previous one. The mildness of cringe.

"Sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm a little out of control, it's not your fault, maybe I'm really out of my mind..."

"fine."

Kuhara Hiiragi tidied up his collar and continued talking.

"The ghost killing team can't predict the actions of the ghosts. But the ghosts from back then may have returned, that's why I received the mission and appeared here." Jiuyuan Hiiragi explained to him, "I hope you can tell me where it happened .”

Chuan Fuzheng looked at him: "Can you help me find my sister?"

Kuhara Hiiragi was silent for a while and said, "I will try my best."

He couldn't tell if Chuanfu's sister was still alive, and even if he was alive, his ability to kill ghosts didn't necessarily mean he could find someone.Unnecessary hope can only lead to more disappointment than telling the truth in the first place.

Chuan Fuzhenglu sighed, raised his finger and pointed in a direction: "It's on the hillside over there."

Butterfly Kanae and Butterfly Shinobi were walking side by side on the streets of the town that had been shrouded in night.

"Get out," came the voice of a shop assistant urging something nearby, "The teahouse is closed today, you should go home quickly... What are you kicking me for!"

"Excuse me, what happened?" Butterfly Kanae looked at the child who was kicked out of the store, and couldn't help being a little surprised after knowing the wild boar headgear, "Is it Inosuke? Why are you here?"

"If you know this kid, take him away quickly," the clerk grinned, covering his leg that was kicked just now, "Really, how could there be such a person, who paid the money to put the child in the store and left by himself. A child wearing such a strange headgear is really affecting business."

After finally complaining, he closed the store door with a bang, and then turned off the lights in the store.

"Why aren't you with Jiuyuan?" Kanae asked softly.

"It's about Kihara," said Inosuke, because the gentle Butterfly Kanae always made him feel inexplicably nostalgic, so Inosuke's attitude towards her has always been very good. "He asked me to wait here for him to come back."

After he finished speaking, he sat down on the floor at the small door of Yinxi Nunnery.

"Sister," Butterfly Ninja tugged at Kanae's sleeve. She was worried about what her overly gentle sister would do, and reminded, "We still have to hurry."

"That's right..." Kanae quickly realized, she smiled apologetically at Inosuke, "Then let's go first."

Inosuke didn't answer, just huddled in place.

Walking to the edge of the town, you can see the endless river from a distance.

"That river is called Ikuta River, and it is said that it is blessed by the river god." Butterfly Kanae stared at the bright moon on the river, then smiled and turned to Butterfly Shinobi beside him, "As long as you cultivate the fields beside that river, you will definitely have a good harvest, good luck It will get better too. The residents here seem to think so, how about Shinobi, who will pass by anyway, should you go to the river to worship?"

"But sister, don't we have so much time?" Die Die couldn't help but disagree, "It's definitely useless to worship the river god in this kind of place, why don't you go quickly... sister?"

"I hope Shinobu can smile more in the future."

Butterfly Kanae faced the river surface reflecting the night sky, folded her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed like this.

What kind of wish is this...

Butterfly looked at her sister's exceptionally beautiful side face soaked in the moonlight, and her black hair blown by the wind, her face flushed red.She didn't interrupt, but quietly watched her sister smile as usual after she finished speaking.

"Let's go."

"Hmm..." Die Die reluctantly responded, and followed her sister to the road away from the town, while whispering in her heart: I hope my sister can be happy.

"Xiao Ren."

Butterfly Kanae stopped suddenly.

"Ok?"

Butterfly Ren thought for a moment that her sister had heard her wish, and raised her head a little guilty, but saw Kanae looking at the other end of the empty road, her expression became a little dignified.

So she also looked there, and saw a young woman walking in a hurry, coming in the direction of the two of them.

At the same time, Jiuyuan Hiiragi searched the abandoned old house on the mountain, and went to the woods looking for breath, and soon found the ghost hiding nearby.The ghost was actually very weak, and it didn't take long for him to hold the neck with a sun wheel knife.

"Did you kill all the people who lived in that room?" he asked.

"What house..." The ghost's head was full of cold sweat, and then he glanced at the old house that had been turned into ruins, and remembered something, "It's this family? I didn't, I couldn't kill them all, there was A girl ran away."

After receiving such an answer, Kuhara Hiiragi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and immediately beheaded the ghost with a single knife, and turned to walk towards Kawafusho who was hiding not far away with a tense expression.

"Your sister was not killed by a ghost. If I meet her, I will let her come to you."

Good

"I knew it, I knew it!" Chuan Fuzhenglu had a complex expression, clenched his fists with excitement, and he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing.

Kuhara Hiiragi thought for a while and said, "Can you tell me her name?"

"Ah, of course, her name is..."

"My name is Ye Nari Chuanfu." On the empty and remote street, the girl who hurried up to Butterfly Ninja and Kanae said with a look of bewilderment, "Well, have you met my brother? His name is Zhengji Chuanfu. He looks a bit like me, and lives in the town."

"Please don't touch my sister!" Butterfly Shinobu frowned and turned sideways to avoid her hand that wanted to grab Kanae's sleeve.

Butterfly Chanahui was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "Sorry, we are from out of town, and we don't know your brother."

"Yuan, is that the case? Then I'll go home and look for him." Ye Naili bowed to her awkwardly, "I'm bothering you."

"Please wait!" Butterfly Ninja suddenly noticed something and called out to her, "Is someone chasing you?"

"Huh?" Ye Naili panicked for a moment, but soon she forced a smile, "What are you talking about, I am not being chased by anyone, please don't scare me."

After she finished speaking, she took a special look at the dark road behind her, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one there.

"If something happens, please tell us, I will definitely not let you have an accident." Butterfly Chana Hui looked into her eyes, although it was only a vague feeling, she seemed to feel the ghost from the woman in front of her. "My name is Butterfly Kanae, and she is my sister Butterfly Shinobu."

Kawafuka Yenari was stunned for a moment, as if moved by the firm sincerity of the woman in front of her, her tense expression gradually relaxed.

"Thank you, but I'm really fine. I just sneaked out when I really wanted to come out to find my brother. I'll go back soon."

"Where to go back?"

"This... I can't say it." Ye Naili said awkwardly, "According to the regulations, I can't disclose it. If I find out, I will be punished, so I can't say it."

Kanae was just about to say something again, when she suddenly noticed something, turned her gaze to a certain direction, her expression changed, and she pressed her hand on the sheath of the Sun Wheel Saber.

"Xiao Ren, you take Miss Ye Naili and get out of here."

"elder sister?"

"Be obedient, find a place to hide, and don't go out until dawn."

Her tone was rare and harsh, which made Die Die stunned for a moment. She quickly realized that her sister had sensed where the ghost was. If she insisted on staying, it would only hinder her sister, so she nodded reluctantly. Nod, "I see."

Kanae smiled softly at her, borrowed strength with one step, and disappeared in place in an instant.

The author has something to say:

It's coming, it's coming (x)

Oh yes, after the encounter between the original work and Shang Er, the first one to rush to the dying Hua Zhu was Butterfly Shinobu.

But generally speaking, if the crow conveys the information about the first quarter moon to the lord, I think the other pillars should arrive first?

So I guess Shinobu was nearby at the time, or the two were walking together for some reason, but before encountering the ghost, Kanae kept Shinobu away from the battlefield.

In short, the information I know about the original work is a bit small, so please be gentle with the face-slapping.
