[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

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

A few days ago, the training ground near Butterfly House.

"Mix the sword skills of different breathing methods?"

Having just finished guiding her stepson, Butterfly Kanae looked suspiciously at Kuhara Hiiragi who found herself and made a guess: "Sorry, I don't really understand what you mean."

"You also know that my fighting style is slightly different from my breathing method, and I have heard such a saying before," Kuhara Hiiragi explained to her, "In the final analysis, the internal force of any attribute needs to obtain power from nature, so they all They have the same source of refuge. And when the multiple internal forces in a person reach a certain balance, they can exert a stronger strength than a single internal force, and I think the breathing method is the same."

Kanae thought for a while, then shook her head slightly at him.

"This probably won't work. If you want to reach the peak of your breathing method, you have to practice the one that suits you best." She said disapprovingly, "In order to gain stronger strength, forcefully learn the one that is not suitable for you." The breathing method will only bring side effects. Even Tanjiro, who has practiced both the breath of water and the god of fire Kagura to a certain level, is often sent to the Butterfly House because he cannot bear such a transformation. Come."

"I understand," Kuhara Hiiragi nodded, he had also seen Tanjirou's appearance, "so the fighting system is different from mine, and relying on one person's strength alone is not enough."

"...Then you mean?" Kanae seemed to think of something, her eyes slightly widened.

"Just as you'd expect,"

Kuhara Hiiragi said firmly.

"Since the five major breathing methods are derived from the initial breathing of the sun, then reverse the thinking, if two or even more breathing methods can be coordinated to achieve a certain balance. Whether their power can be closer to the sun breath?"

……

"Good, so strong... what is this!" Zuhira Inosuke stared dumbfoundedly at Butterfly Kanae who turned around and landed after the blow.

He actually mixed the sword skills of the two people together in an instant, to the point that it was almost seamless, and it even sounded like there was only one person breathing.

Kanae seemed to want to say something to answer Inosuke's question, but she opened her mouth and coughed suddenly. Seeing this, Butterfly Shinobu hurried over to help her.

"elder sister!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, it's just that I used a little too much breathing just now..." Butterfly Kanae calmed down, and then showed a worried look to her sister, "Compared to this, how is Shinobu?"

"I'm fine, the wound has stopped bleeding, and the toxin has stopped under the effect of the anti-ghost medicine."

"That's good, we must live together until we become grandmas, Shinobu..."

"Yes!"

Shinobu hugged her older sister, and finally showed a smile that was somewhat similar to her older sister.

Then, when Kuhara Hiiragi was feeling emotional while watching this warm scene, he suddenly heard Kanae making a voice that would never happen normally, and could even be called excited.

"Ah, Shinobu, are you smiling?" She covered her lips with one hand, although she was still gentle and dignified, but her eyes became a bit like the shy Ganluji Mitsuri, "Ah, so cute, Shinobu She is the cutest sister in the world!"

I saw Hua Zhu, who was originally smiling gently, directly wrapped her sister tightly in her arms, rubbing her hair happily as if holding some small animal, "Hey, I said Xiao Ren, you should smile more Well, you are usually too serious. When was the last time you smiled at your sister? Six months ago? Or a year? My sister is really lonely."

"Sister...I'm going to be out of breath..."

Shinobu's weak voice came from Kanae's chest.

Kuhara Hiiragi silently looked away, how should I put it, he seemed to understand why Miss Shinobu refused to smile in front of Kanae-sama.

He looked aside, and saw that Yusui Tianyuan, who was injured and sitting in the corner, had been surrounded by the three wives he had driven over, and the youngest, Suma, started crying when he came to his side, hugging him and shouting, "Master Tianyuan, you I can’t die!”, the other two were also saying something with sad faces, but Yu Sui couldn’t get in the way at all, and could only look at the ceiling with a hopeless expression.

Jiuyuan Hiiragi couldn't help casting a sympathetic look at him, but the handsome man's expression changed immediately when he saw it, and he hugged his three wives with a big hand, his eyes were full of "getting a wife like this, I will die without regret" of showing off.

Suddenly, I remembered that on the note passed to him by Usui Tengen's ninja mouse, after explaining the plan in just a few syllables, the inscription "God in charge of gorgeous festivals", which took up most of the remaining paper, was written by Kuhara Hiiragi. Neng smiled helplessly and stopped looking at him.

At this moment, someone grabbed the corner of the clothes.

"Kihara."

"What's the matter?" Kuhara Hiiragi turned around and saw Hira Inosuke who was lowering his head for some reason, and quickly frowned and bent down to look at his injury, "Where is the injury? Is it internal pain?... Inosuke? "

He stopped talking suddenly, because the boy who usually looked like a mighty king of the mountain was just clutching the corner of his clothes, tears streaming down his face.

"Tanjiro told me...my mother must like me very much..."

"..."

"You say this is...really? Did he lie to me?"

In the memory gradually awakened by the ghost's description, the woman with the innocent smile embraced him as a baby, singing a lullaby with some forgotten words, and the indescribable tenderness in her eyes made him feel so sad that he couldn't stop at all. No tears, no breath.

"He didn't lie to you, Inosuke is a good boy... No, even if it's not good, your mother must love you deeply, and she will definitely protect you after she becomes a Buddha."

Kuhara Hiiragi actually wanted to hug Inosuke, but he stretched out his arm halfway and retracted it as if remembering something.He still remembered killing the ghost of the string in the Buddhist temple several years ago, and after doing that, he was disgusted by the child and said disgusting things.

So he didn't know where to put his hand, and was about to take it back, but the child suddenly threw himself into his arms and burst into tears, choking on something while crying.

"Mother……"

"?"

Wait, wait a minute.

Did you find the wrong person, you should go to Kanae-sama, right?

He stood stiffly on the spot, not knowing what to do, and then he heard Yu Sui Tianyuan beside him who couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"It's really touching." The great god of festivals hypocritically wiped the corner of his eyes.

Kuhara Hiiragi's face was half black, while patting the back of the boy in his arms, he looked at Yusui Tianyuan, and said to himself that when you have a child, I will be the first to run over to see your jokes.

……

In the end what happened?

I was like this, was my neck cut off by the little girl who couldn't even cut off my neck, and the defeated general who should have died long ago?

Ah, so that's the case, did I really lose?

Falling on the ground that was almost turned into ruins, the neck of the blond ghost had been cut off. At this moment, he could only feel that the blood-colored flower was eating away his little life force, which was irreparable and irreversible. Can't make any more counterattacks.

But how did they get there?

With the physical quality of human beings, how can they cooperate so seamlessly, even blending different breathing methods together?This is really too much information beyond what he has at hand. Even the lord has never mentioned the swordsman who can mix the breathing method. Doesn't even the lord know about it?

"Don't you understand?"

After finally breaking free from Kanae's embrace, Butterfly Shinobu, who came over to confirm the situation, looked at the ghost whose neck had been cut off, narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly.

"That's right, how can you, a ghost who despises human feelings, understand the sword skills that my sister and I trust each other and achieve together."

Yeah?This formula requires human emotion, or cooperation as the basis?Tong Mo blinked, what an amazing tactic!But although it seems to be a very simple and clear reason, I can't understand what you mean.

why are you laughing

Why can't I feel even the slightest bit of resentment and resentment even when I'm stared at by such mocking eyes?

Why do I lose everything now and feel like I never had those things?

Sure enough, Tong Mo thought.It's still empty, I can't feel anything.

In a daze, the face of that beautiful woman in light green kimono seemed to appear in front of her again, just like that snowy night many years ago, so desolately beautiful.

Are you here to see me in hell?He looked at the figure in surprise.Or is this a dream?I was dreaming for the first time in my life!Are your dreams like this too?

The woman didn't answer, just looked at him with soft and sad eyes.

I understand, you hate me, don't you?He smiled and said, even when you finally escaped from the church and threw the child off the cliff, you always believed in vain hopes.Although I think your thoughts, together with your whole life, are meaningless at all.But in your eyes, I have come to this point, can I finally catch the 'thing' that I have been unable to obtain?

Only then did Qin Ye react, she shook her head, and smiled sadly at him who was lying on the bloody flower and gradually sinking into hell.

"no."

"It's not 'the thing' you're holding on to, but the painful, twisted, dead, your own heart."

Like a bell representing the end, the heavy and slow heartbeat suddenly rang in the ears, making the ruthless ghost's eyes wide open, and even the usual smirk on his face faded away.

I don't know whether it's poison or the emotion called sadness spreads rapidly in the body. Although I can't even feel the fear of death, it is still empty and very uncomfortable, although it is difficult and sour that tears flow from the corners of my eyes.

But, look—

I feel like I can finally end this boring game.

Ignorant of insignificant things, he just swallowed the resentment and grief of believers with an empty heart, and thus turned into a monster in human form. Finally, accompanied by dizzying butterflies and flowers, he ushered in the era of disappearance. s answer.

As if under an illusion, Zuhira Inosuke seemed to hear an inaudible voice just before turning to leave the church.

Congratulations, said the voice.

The voice said good night.

Who said it?Who are you talking to?

The author has something to say:

Kanae: Ninja makes me happy.

I'm coming, I'm coming, my post-war candy is here.
