[Ghost Slayer: Blade] Is it my fault for group wear?

260.

In the silence, I heard a warm, bright, simple but ridiculous oath.

"Please come to my side."

The soft and beautiful woman in front of her, who was almost blending into the night, stretched out her hand.Her exposed neck was white and slender. I looked at it blankly. The reality and the past overlapped, interweaving a soft and cold sense of confusion.

"Let me show you the existence of "truth" and let me prove the meaning of this word. "

There was a crisp sound like the collision of bells, and her pale arms that were almost broken were wrapped around my neck.

"Before that, be a gentle person."

At that moment, the flying petals almost drowned me in the rich and rich retting pearls.

261.

"——————"

then.

What came from the hand was a warm touch, and the warm liquid like running water fell on my arm dripping.I held the young child in my left hand, and the sun wheel knife that had been unsheathed in my right hand, and there was a heart-piercing scream in front of me.The crying child pulled me back, but I couldn't keep my eyes open in the white silence.

"——————?!"

I swung my right hand diagonally upwards with all my strength. I didn't know what I was chopping, but I couldn't withdraw the force.I slashed forward with my eyes closed in bewilderment, and my left hand firmly held the child's wrist and did not let go.

What are you doing?What am I doing? ?

It seemed that scalding blood dripped onto my wrist, drying up quickly along with the dripping liquid just now.The feeling from the hand, probably the neck was chopped off, and it was also cut off.Painful cursing came from my ear, and the hand that just touched my cheek also produced sharp nails, drawing five complete bloodstains.I hissed, but still moved the knife back in a coherent manner.After doing these almost one-stop movements, my body finally stopped moving on its own, and I fell forward top-heavy.

"Brother! Brother, are you okay!!"

Senjuro, do you think I seem to be fine?

His eyes were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and he couldn't move his hands or feet.Obviously the ghost that caused the hallucinations has been killed in terms of feel, but the body is still bound by the blood ghost technique.I peacefully fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, speculating that this was probably just a delayed sequelae.

However, the child was already crying, holding my hand tremblingly, and could hardly stop the choking sound.

Wait, wait, I'm not dead yet!

I opened my mouth tentatively, and then belatedly realized something.

I seem to have stopped breathing.

262.

Judging from the current situation, my body should be acting automatically, and ghosts happen to not need to breathe, so naturally, I will not perform unnecessary behaviors.For example, I have been relying on habit to maintain the breath that I didn't need in the first place.

It’s over.

I thought about it peacefully, and continued to lay my body in despair.

263.

But even in a temporary death, all my senses are still online.The child just hugged me in a panic, stayed where he was for a while, then dragged me back on the way back, howling and half-dragging.This is the first time I’ve been dragged along the main road after living for so long. At first, it was a bit novel, but afterward, my face was so sore from being dragged, and my neck was so sore.

I died so badly—Ningji——you died so badly too——

I shouted silently from the bottom of my heart, and the tugging finally stopped shortly after.He seemed to finally let go of my poor collar and sleeves, and staggered towards me in the other direction.

"Mr. Inosuke!!"

Ah, acquaintances.

I continued to pretend to be dead, but my collar was lifted up by another force much stronger than Senjuro's.The child probably came up to me and sniffed it. The warm and rough fluff paused on my chest to listen to my heartbeat, and then punched me in the stomach quickly.The strength of this punch was completely merciless, and my body flinched reflexively.

"Oh, he's fine!" A carefree voice came from the front, and my collar was pulled up again, "This guy sometimes does this when he sleeps, stop crying, be brave! This guy will die Don’t worry if it’s in front of you, he’s very tough! Don’t underestimate a man!”

No, how did this topic get brought up here, calm down.

"Woo, woo...Okay! I also believe in big brother!"

Believe me, it's okay, can you stop dragging me by my collar, I'm really going to be physically suffocated.real.

264.

Then, after another 10 minutes of being dragged by the collar, rescuers finally arrived.

"Hey!" A vigorous voice sounded in front, "What are you doing! Are you exercising!"

Brother!Brother save me! !

I almost burst into tears.

Inosuke and Senjuro greeted each other in turn, and finished the story.The elder brother let out a cry, knelt down and raised my face to have a look, touched the unhealed bruise on my face with the back of his hand, and finally stretched out his hand to lift me up and carried the whole thing on his shoulders.

…… Forget it, it’s good enough not to rub against the ground.

I was carried away for a while while I was dying, and by the time I realized that I could speak and open my eyes, I had almost reached the gate of the mansion.I was drowsy for a few seconds before fully waking up, and subconsciously supported my elder brother's shoulder with one hand, turned over in the air, and fell to the ground.

"Oh, you're awake!" The elder brother turned around and held out his hand to me, "I said there was a sudden breathing sound! Well, you can still encounter ghosts even if you go out, so lucky! Ling People are envious! It seems that I have to work harder!"

"Are you also a fighter who works harder... No, please pretend you didn't hear this." I took his hand and stood up, "It's just a matter of luck, you can meet it too, but if you want to, go down Let's go out for a walk next time, shall we?"

"it is good!"

"Ah, brother! You're awake!" Chijuro and Inosuke, who were a little behind, also saw me: "Great, I'm relieved that you're fine!"

"I made you worry," I dug out my pocket to find a candy for him, but I remembered that Wuichiro had already walked away during the meeting today, so I could only put my hand in my pocket and use the other hand He touched his head, "Has that jar been sent back?"

"... I accidentally dropped my hand and broke it during the fight with the ghost. I'm sorry." He lowered his head, "Ah, but, I took care of the pieces! So, so it's okay!"

This kid is too sensible.

"Is it my fault? I was holding the jar, but I threw it aside to draw a knife, right? Please clean it up." I continued to snort his head, feeling as if I was touching his head. The little owl said, "But Qianjuro, you are really brave. You can drag me for such a long time, and you have good physical strength!"

"Humu, after all, he is my (your) younger brother, isn't he amazing!" The elder brother answered with a full smile, "Okay, just now, Qianjurou and I said on the way that you would come to stay overnight? Would you like to sleep in my room? , two quilts can be put down completely!"

You are truly brothers.

I complained in my heart, but still smiled helplessly on my face: "No need, didn't I stay for a few nights last time? It's fine to sleep in the guest room at that time, and it's fine for you to sleep in your own room. "

Just kidding, I don't lose to your room at all. Wouldn't all previous efforts be for naught if it was exposed because of this kind of memory and little tricks!

He tilted his head and looked at me humbly. He seemed to see that I couldn't be persuaded, and finally nodded: "Then if you are not used to it, you can tell me anytime! It's no problem for me to change rooms with you!"

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

I smiled and agreed, waved him goodnight, and found the room I stayed in last time according to my memory, took out the quilt from the cabinet and spread it, then blew out the lamp, and leaned against the door with the quilt in a daze.The dried blood on my hand has been cleaned by me. I stared blankly at the healed hand for a few seconds, then touched my face. The burning pain has long since disappeared, and the scars on my face have scabbed over.I sat in front of the door with my face in my hands and curled up into a ball, sighing slightly.

………… So hungry.

There is another reason why I don't live with my eldest brother.I didn't sleep well at night, sometimes from pain from unhealed bruises, sometimes from stomach cramps from hunger.I can also use flames to speed up the healing of scars, but the feeling of hunger is completely unavoidable. I can only report the names of dishes in an infinite loop in my mind while thinking wildly, and then keep swallowing my saliva.

well.so hungry.
