A slime came out of the pillar

After learning that the appearance of 'stripes' means that her strength will improve by leaps and bounds, Chloe was happy for Tanjiro for a long time that day.

As a result, the "Great Sage" poured a basin of cold water on him, drenching him from head to toe.

[Once the breathing method breaks through the limit state of the body, the heart rate and body temperature will increase rapidly, and the speed and strength of the action will be more than double that of the normal one, but all functions of the body organs will be consumed and rapidly decline. Simply put, It is to become stronger at the cost of consuming life. 】

[To simplify the explanation a bit more, people who have turned on their stripes will not live past the age of 25. 】

As a slime with an infinite lifespan, Chloe has no concept of the number 25, but he calculated it. If people around him have stripes, they will almost die within a few years, and the whole person will feel bad in an instant. .

At first, he thought that others didn't know about it, and he didn't even dare to tell them the bad news that might come true. He could only try to prevent them from getting stripes, and at the same time, he thought of all kinds of strange reasons to fool them.

Because of his special ability, what he participated in was not the ordinary team members receiving Zhu's guidance training, but the battle training between Zhu and Zhu.

On the first day of training, with the help of Butterfly Shinobu, Muichiro finally caught Chloe out of the pond in Butterfly House.

Both Wuichiro and Chloe are geniuses in the team who have learned the breathing method in a short period of time. On the ground, he said that he was stunned by the arrogance he released.

The fight with Yi Hei was even more outrageous. Chloe only heard his name, and said that he had a snake skin allergy, and if there were snakes within a hundred miles, he would be powerless and foam at the mouth, so Yi Hei couldn't help it. Fight and win.

Because of his lack of cooperation, everyone decided to ignore him and start training on their own.

Chloe's action to stop the training didn't stop because of this, but spread out radially in all directions centered on Tanjiro, gradually expanding the target to each team member, and even the pillar in charge of guidance was interfered by him.

"After getting the stripes, the brain will be burned."

"You think too much."

"Eating sugar will melt immediately after the stripes are opened."

"Then don't eat."

"Having dappled on will burn others."

"Bullshit."

"A dapple meeting..."

"Chloe."

Chloe listed all kinds of bizarre disadvantages of having stripes, each of which was choked back by Muichiro accurately, and while he was still racking his brains to think about other disadvantages, he had exhausted his patience Muichiro interrupted him directly.

"The lord's wife has already told us the consequences of opening the stripes." Wuichiro put down the sun wheel knife in his hand and looked at him calmly: "If you can really defeat Wu Mi, such a price is not worth mentioning .”

"I'm going to tell Ichiro, if he knows, he will definitely drive you back to your hometown to cut firewood."

Muichiro's expression froze for a moment, he quietly looked at Chloe who was trying to threaten him, bent his mouth, and showed a rare smile: "Brother, he will understand, there is no way to do this."

"So, don't worry about us."

No, no, that's why I'm more worried.

Muichiro, you are only 14 years old, why do you put on a look of disillusionment at such a young age, and your expression is so normal that it is scary, people who don't know think they are just talking about what to eat tonight.

Even his slime had trouble sleeping and eating for several days after knowing the truth about the stripes. How could they be so calm?

Chloe has always been an optimist, and something that can make him worry so much proves to be really serious.

"You don't believe in some strange religion without my knowledge, do you? For example, death is regarded as salvation or something. Those are all pyramid schemes to deceive people."

"You're thinking about something in a mess." I don't know how many times Chloe interrupted the practice. Undead Chuan heard this, and the veins on his forehead began to throb again. Oka Yoshiyuki didn't have a good fit: "Don't think about it all day long, the most important thing now is to defeat the ghost dance Tsuji, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"It's strange not to worry about it! You are going to die!"

Chloe, who had been desperately suppressing her uneasiness, finally couldn't help crying when she heard this. After seeing Undead Chuan frowned, she suddenly lowered her volume: "There must be some other way, even if it doesn't Striped. Also..."

Chloe hesitated for a moment, not having the full confidence to say the phrase 'You can also defeat Wu Mi'.

But if you don't say that, everyone may die.

Before this, Chloe never thought that she would lose anyone around her again.

Things have come to this point, I can only bite the bullet and go on.

"Even if we don't open the stripes, we will definitely be able to eliminate Wu Mi." Not at the cost of losing anyone.

After saying this, he turned his head and ran out of the dojo in a fit of anger.

"What is he going to do?" Undead Chuan was already prepared for him to stick to him like brown candy to hinder his training, but he didn't expect Chloe to leave so easily. Good hunch: "He won't go directly to Wu Mi, will he?"

Yi Yong, who was sitting next to him and eating lunch, shook his head expressionlessly: "No, but we may not see him in the next few days."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because he wants to practice in closed doors."

Yoshiyuki remembered that after Kanae was injured before, Chloe had the same expression when he vowed to become stronger, and then he locked himself in the house for a few weeks, and when he came out, he successfully taught himself the breath of water.

After confirming that Chloe would not do anything stupid, Undead Chuan glanced in the direction where he ran away, said nothing, and pointed the wooden knife in his hand at Yiyong: "Have you finished eating? Hurry up and continue Practice, don't waste time dawdling."

"Bushichuan, don't you want to eat?" Yi Yong practiced against him from morning to noon, and the two hadn't decided the winner yet.

"no appetite."

Yi Yong stopped talking, and stared at him silently for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

His eyes made Undead Chuan inexplicably uncomfortable. He just wanted to warn Yiyong not to look at him with such disgusting eyes, but he heard the other party say: "Undead Chuan."

"What again?"

I saw Yiyong took out a piece of rice cake from his chest: "Come, eat."

"..."

Bushichuan looked at Yiyong who was dangling in front of his eyes with the rice cake, and felt that one day he really couldn't help strangling him to death.

……

Chloe made a preliminary plan, and wanted to kill Wu Mi as quickly as possible. Currently, there are two ways to go:

[-]. Turn into One Punch Man and fly Wu Mier to the solar system.

[-]. Invent a time machine, go back to the past and strangle Wu Mi in his infancy.

Judging from the time and energy spent, the success rate of the first one is higher.

At this moment, he was sitting under the waterfall, feeling the impact of the water flow, imagining in his mind the scene where Wu Mi was punched by himself and flew into the universe and had a close contact with the sun, and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

"What's wrong with senior Chloe, his expression is so scary..." Shan Yi, who was washed by the biting cold torrent, was lying on the edge of the rock and shivering.

"Probably...he thought of something happy." Tanjirou guessed stutteringly, his teeth chattering from the cold.

The training of the rock pillar is the most difficult, but for Chloe, who learned the breath of wind under the stick education of Undead River, he can still accept these trainings.

Meditating under the waterfall, a bit like a ninja, very fun.

As for the practice of pushing rocks, he looked at the huge boulder in front of him that was taller than a person, and tentatively asked the people next to him: "Have you heard of Archimedes?"

"Ah? What chicken mead?" Tanjiro, who stuffed his mouth full of rice balls, gave him a puzzled look.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Chloe also sat down and stopped Zenitsu and Inosuke who were fighting for grilled fish.

The advantage of training with Chloe is that they don't have to worry about their own food after a grueling training session.

During the rest time, he taught Tanjiro how to use the fourth style to hit Ushioyu. This was learned by him and Yoshiyuki Sagiri when he was in Sagiri Mountain. He also turned into a mountain of rice balls, enough for them to eat for a year .

"Speaking of which, none of you know Chloe's nickname in the team, right?"

It was getting late, and after the day's practice, everyone gathered in the cabin for sleeping to have dinner, and Murata suddenly mentioned something to Tanjirou and the others.

"Huh?" The trio in front of them looked at each other suspiciously, and shook their heads at the same time: "What nickname does Senior Chloe have?"

"Ah, that guy used to be called rice ball boy." Murata said and glanced out of the window to see that Chloe was still outside trying to pick up the big rock with a wooden stick, and he couldn't hear them for a while. Only then did he continue the conversation with confidence, "But don't say it in front of him, you will be beaten."

"Nigiri-douji?" Tanjiro glanced at the rice ball in his hand, thinking of Chloe's transformation back into a slime: "Indeed, it looks a bit like it!"

"Pretty image, right? It was Yiyong who took it for him." Mentioning Yiyong, Murata wiped away a tear of bitterness. It was obvious that they were in the same period, and he had already become a pillar, and he was still in the ranks of Gui-level swordsmen. I have nothing to say.

"At that time, there was a popular legend in the Ghost Killing Team. If you did not bring dry food when performing missions outside, and silently said Chloe's name three times in your heart, you would get rice balls from well-meaning people."

"Isn't it a lie? Wouldn't senior Chloe become a god then?!" After hearing his story, Zenitsu was too surprised, and let Inosuke snatch the rice ball from his hand again by being inattentive.

"What are you talking about? What god?" Chloe just pushed the door open and came in, vaguely hearing her name appear in their conversation.

Everyone stopped talking at the same time, and just as Murata was about to make up a random topic to fool him, Inosuke who was sitting over there raised his head: "Yo, Onigan-douji."

"..."

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

"Sometimes I really think you do it on purpose." In the silence, Zenitsu widened his eyes and looked at Inosuke desperately: "Why do you remember this kind of thing and remember it so clearly?!"

……

"So that's how it is. I wonder why that guy is so excited." Genya, who came to visit Tanjiro and the others at night, stood under the tree. After listening to Tanjiro's explanation, he nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and turned his gaze to the side. Inosuke, who had been in a stalemate with the rock for ten minutes: "I didn't expect Chloe to hit people."

After being caught off guard and calling out the previous nickname, Chloe couldn't see any anger on his face, but showed a smile instead.

"Did I push that rock just now?" His tone was sparse and normal, but it was completely showing off, "Inosuke, you have to eat well, after all, you are still far from being as good as me."

Being called a rice ball again, although very angry, but can't jump up to refute, this is too old-fashioned.

Chloe pondered for a while, and chose to use Butterfly Ninja's method to deal with Inosuke, but unexpectedly it worked.

Inosuke, who was ridiculed for a while, decided to push the huge rock tonight. At this moment, he has maintained the posture of pushing forward for more than an hour, and the rock in front of him is still motionless. Instead, his body is not moving due to excessive muscle use. trembling.

"Inosuke, go back and rest, it will be the same when you practice again tomorrow."

"No! I can't be looked down upon by that rice ball! I must push this big guy tonight!"

"Hurry up and keep your voice down..." Tanjiro, who came to persuade people to go back to the house, quietly looked back at Chloe who was hiding behind the tree, and silently prayed for Inosuke that he could spend the night safely.

What Inosuke said penetrated clearly into Chloe's ears in all directions without any dead ends. At this moment, he was squatting under the big tree next to him, holding a small wooden stick in his hand, poking the little figure painted on the ground as if venting. : "It's all the fault of Yiyong, now everyone is going to call me that again..."

Giyuu just secretly called Chloe a rice ball boy before, but he didn't know when he slipped up. In short, the entire Ghost Slayer Squad knew Chloe's nickname in the end, and he himself didn't know.

Until one day, a Yin in the Butterfly House saw Chloe who had just finished the battle and went to the ground the next day after being seriously injured. He couldn't help worrying: "Senior Fantuan, your injury..."

Ah, it's over.

Hearing that Yin's words stopped abruptly, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

At this time, Butterfly passed by with a smile: "Ah, I thought rice ball was just Mr. Tomioka's pet name for Chloe, so everyone can call it?"

Chloe has an unknown secret, that is, he is a little inferior to his slime's appearance, and describing his appearance with any related things will poke at his past sadness, so the name rice ball, in It may seem nothing to others, but in his eyes it is as serious as a comet hitting the earth.

Moreover, the name fantuan boy sounds so silly.

Under Chloe's strong resistance, everyone stopped calling him that in front of him, and gradually everyone else forgot about it. I didn't expect Murata to bring up the old story again today, which is really annoying.

"Namo Amitabha."

Another voice suddenly came from behind, and Chloe quickly threw the small wooden stick in her hand, and stood up in a jerk, "Mr. Beimingyu."

"Ah."

Although she knew that he couldn't see, Chloe still stood up consciously: "Mr. Beimingyu, are you worried about Xuanmi?"

"Well, Xuan Mi's mood has been a little unstable recently."

Chloe, who didn't expect him to admit so frankly that he was eavesdropping, was a little confused. Should I remind Mr. Beimingyu that hiding behind a tree with his physique won't work at all, it's completely exposed, okay?

Apart from the lord, Chloe felt awe from the bottom of his heart only for the rock pillar in front of him. He would occasionally play tricks in front of Undead River, but in front of Sorrowful Islet, he didn't even have the courage to tell cold jokes. All he had to do was stand at attention obediently and wait to be dealt with.

Tanjirou and Genya, who were sitting not far away, saw that they couldn't persuade Inosuke, so they simply sat on the ground and chatted with him while practicing. Beimingyu listened quietly for a while, and shed tears again uncontrollably.

Chloe was already thinking about whether to turn around and leave. Standing here seemed to interfere with Mr. Sorrowful Islet's brewing of sadness.

"Chloe."

"Yes."

Just when he was really about to leave, Beimingyu stopped him unexpectedly: "My custom-made training plan...how did you complete it?"

"Just pushed that rock a little." And played a little smart.

"When I made the training plan, I didn't think that you would participate, so these exercises are not suitable for you. Your ability is far superior to this." Bei Mingyu folded his hands and explained calmly: "Tomorrow morning, you will go downhill"

"Huh?" Chloe didn't expect that he would go back home so soon after only coming to train for one day: "But..."

"You have more important things to do." Mr. Beimingyu didn't give him the room to refuse at all, he turned around and walked into the deep mountains, as if he didn't intend to talk to him any more.

"Mr. Sorrowful Island." Chloe looked at his tall back and suddenly stopped him.

The other party didn't look back, but just stopped: "What else?"

Chloe hesitated for a moment, but still asked out the doubts in her heart: "Do you really hate me?"

The treatment of Beimingyu is not so much awe, as Chloe doesn't know how to get along with him. Although Mr. Beimingyu is calm and easy-going, he usually takes good care of the juniors in the team, but for some reason, Chloe Yi always felt that he had an inexplicable sense of alienation and... loathing towards her?

He had told Butterfly Shinobu about this idea before, but she said that it was just his illusion. Mr. Beimingyu was very kind to everyone, but he just looked a little majestic.

At first, he was dubious, but just now, Chloe finally confirmed that his intuition was correct, and Mr. Beimingyu really didn't seem to like him very much.

"No." Mr. Beimingyu was silent for a few seconds, and answered his question concisely: "I just don't like children."

The author has something to say: I wish you all a happy May Day holiday~

About Chloe's counterattack after knowing that she was nicknamed:

All the crows in the ghost killing team didn't know what kind of spell they were under. When they saw a team member, they jumped up and repeated frantically: "Tomioka Giyuu is afraid of dogs Tomioka Giyuki is afraid of dogs Tomioka Giyuki is afraid of dogs..."

The next day, their message changed again: "Because he was bitten on the ass by a dog because he was bitten on the ass by a dog..."

On the third day, the lord sat in the promenade, looked at Chloe and Yiyong, who were exchanging ideas from the training ground to the courtyard not far away, and smiled, "Their relationship is really good."
