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

54.

"Then, please let me play fireworks."

After we all washed and dressed, we were ready to go. When we were saying goodbye to the grandmother who took care of us at the gate, she said so suddenly.

Maybe it’s because of the age gap, I actually don’t quite understand what she meant, but both Tanjiro and Zenitsu turned around very skillfully, I was a little too slow, bowed to my grandma, and turned around too.Only Inosuke didn't seem to understand at all, and he bent down and stared at the things in Grandma's hand while being puzzled.

There was a crisp sound of rubbing flints behind me. I probably guessed that it meant to exorcise evil spirits and protect peace. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Inosuke raising his foot and was about to kick him. I was so scared that I lifted him up. And Tanjiro also reacted quickly, and stood in front of his mother-in-law with a face of horror.

"What are you doing?" I tried my best to restrain him, "This is the grandma who gave you free room and board yesterday and made me new clothes?!"

"What is that old woman doing again!"

"That's called sparking, and it's for us to get rid of the unknown! Because we're going to do dangerous work!" Shanyi explained to him loudly, "Don't hit people casually!"

55.

By the way, I remembered Inosuke's life experience.

Most wild animals that have lived in the mountains for a long time are afraid of fire.No wonder he reacted so strongly.

56.

After some fuss and explanations, we finally bid farewell to Grandma again.I asked my grandma for directions in advance, and then led them to Tianzhu Mountain in the northeast according to the instructions.In fact, I think it's good for me to set fire to the mountain directly on the periphery, but I guess I will be beaten on the ground by many people if I do this, so I can only give up regretfully.

We reached the foot of the mountain in the late afternoon.Most of the team should have withdrawn, Tanjiro didn't smell any obvious smell of blood, but Zenitsu still sat on the ground and refused to leave.I sighed and walked up to him and knelt down.

"If you keep messing around like this, I will carry you away."

"Master Purgatory, even if you drag me away, I won't... wait, what are you talking about?"

I suddenly realized, but I was still embarrassed: "Drag away... I don't really want to use this method. So if you don't want to leave again, I will carry you inside."

"Then let's hug! Hug it easier! Wait, Tanjiro, what kind of eyes are you looking at trash!! Don't look at me like that! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!!"

57.

Me: "... If you are really nervous, just hold my hand and go?"

Shanyi: "Hey? Is it okay??"

Me: "Okay. If you really encounter an enemy that I can't beat, it's okay to run away."

Shanyi: "Really, aren't you mocking me?"

Me: "Of course, if you don't want to face it, just leave it to the adults and run away. You are still a child and have the right to do so."

Shanyi then stopped talking.I wondered maybe no one had said that to him yet, and even for this group of children, fighting to the end is either winning or dying.The word escape is as light as a feather but weighs a thousand catties. If he escapes now, he will definitely be overwhelmed by the guilt in his heart in the future.

Gee.

Obviously they're just kids.

58.

Sure enough, I still look for a chance to get Gui Wu Tsuji out and let him bask in the sun for two or three days on the wisteria flower mountain to relieve his anger.

59.

When entering the mountain, I specially told them to pay attention to the spiders under their feet and the spider silk on the road, and I walked in the front, almost raising my hand and burning a large area, and there were no people or spiders attacking along the way.I led the way completely by feeling, and then at a certain moment, there was a sound of the silk thread being tightened in the air.

Zenitsu held one of my hands tightly, and I stretched out the other hand to protect Inosuke and Tanjiro who followed me, and looked up at the white-haired child who was stepping on the spider's silk in the air.

His eyes fell on Shanyi and I clasped hands, and my gesture of protecting them.After almost a long silence, he suddenly asked me a question.

"Since you are a ghost, why do you want to act with the Ghost Killing Squad?" His eyes fell on me completely, and he gave the three people behind him regardless, "Would you like to join my family and live quietly with us all the time?" it's here?"

I know it's safe.

60.

So I let go of Zenitsu's hand and took a few steps forward, completely blocking the sight of the white ghost.

"Master Purgatory (Mr.)...?"

"Run, remember my words." I warned without turning my head, "Pay attention to your feet, watch out for spiders, and don't get bitten. Let Shanyi lead the way, and the three of you don't get separated together."

"This is the ghost of the string, leave it to me."

61.

"Mr. Purgatory must be careful!"

Tanjiro was the first to react, and together with Zenitsu, dragged Inosuke away who was clamoring for a fight to the death. I knew they had gone another way, and the other ghosts in the mountain, if the three of them broke through one by one, it would not take much effort , Only then did he feel relieved a little, and refocused his sight on the white-haired boy in front of him.

He didn't seem to care about my distraction at all, just kept looking at my face.

"Come and join my family." He extended the invitation again, and a pair of white spider webs spliced ​​out appeared in his hands at some point, "It doesn't matter whether you want to be a brother or a father. I will kill the original one, and you will I can come."

"Family, in your eyes, is it such a simple thing that can be discarded? As long as there is something you like more, you can replace it?" I went straight to the point, "Such a shallow and false bond, please forgive me for rejecting it." .”

"...shallow, and false..."

His red eyes began to tremble, and the spider silk wrapped around his hands slowly tightened, revealing a tooth-piercing tight sound.

"Can you say that again……?"

62.

Here comes the lines!

Different from the soft spider silk I just met along the way, I instantly felt the invisible silk thread in front of me sharpen, sharp enough to cut people into pieces in the blink of an eye.I managed to dodge the spider thread that cut my cheek with blood, but I still refused to take half a step back.

"It doesn't matter how many times I have to say it—fetters are unconditional trust, unconditional support, and unconditional love." I wiped the blood on my face, and slowly opened my Bright red left eye. "Whether it's a companion, a family member, or a friend, it's something worth protecting with your life, so you can't give it up easily!"

I thought he would be more angry, but he didn't, just looked at my face with a strange expression.

"Ah——" He suddenly remembered something, and tightened the silk thread in his hand again. I subconsciously became vigilant, but I didn't feel the pain coming from anywhere, "Then, those ghost killers who came with you , your so-called companions, if I kill them all, how will you react?"

"----Do not make jokes!!"

The black hair tie was burned instantly, and the long orange-red curly hair spread out again, flying with the rising air current.The soaring blue flame burned all the threads around me in an instant, I pulled out the Sun Wheel Saber while I was breathing, and stabbed at his neck with the blue flame.

"Blood ghost art - burning the sky!"

Now, with a furious expression on my face, I guess I am the real ghost image.

63.

"Ah, is this the real bond!"

Even though it was only the hair on one side that was scorched, the ghost who managed to avoid my blade was even more excited than me.

"I really want it! I really want it! I really want it!!"

—He wanted to keep me.I understood this fact almost instantly, before I had time to dodge, the silk threads re-inserted from all directions pierced my body and torso in an instant, blood beads continued to slide down the thread, and my fingertips were trembling and I could hardly hold it. Hold the handle.After becoming a ghost, my ability to endure pain seemed to increase by a certain degree. I gritted my teeth to prevent myself from screaming, but the only uninjured cheek was held up by the cold hands of the white ghost.

"It's okay, you're a ghost, you won't die at this level." I saw the inevitable emotion in his bloody pupils, "Soon, we will be a family. When the time comes, I will personally let you die." The one who broke your bond."

64.

"...You are too underestimated."

You must have underestimated me too much.

65.

"——At any rate, I am also an adult who brags about the sea with those children!!"

I pulled my left hand to the right without hesitation. When my arm was cut off, I also broke the silk thread that imprisoned my right hand. pull---

"Blood ghost art -- Changhong hanging to the sky!!"

Blood-red flames and blue flames intertwined and emerged from my side. The distance was so close that he only had time to release a ball of red silk thread covering his whole body. The red and blue flames took advantage of the gap, burning and filling the entire ball in one breath.The flames regrouped into a sword-like shape on the shattered hilt, severing his neck with precision and force.

66.

Won.

Panting, I knelt down and covered my bleeding left arm, and my right hand, which was burned to pieces, finally let go of the knife handle.The torso of the white-haired child fell in front of me, and his head gurgled and rolled not far away.

"Why..." His voice was as soft as a hallucination, "Why... I always can't get the bond."

I knew he was just starting to move, and the blood on his left arm finally barely stopped.His body has already turned into blood-colored fragments, and he will soon disappear into the wind. Before that, he suddenly stretches out his blood-stained hand, which has already started to shatter, towards me.I looked at him and hesitated for a moment, and still shook his outstretched palm with the one I still had left.

"Before you go to hell, you must apologize to the person who should apologize."

His half-opened eyes looking at me trembled, and finally closed slowly before turning to ashes.
