Chief Okita in Taisho

At the invitation of the lord, Souji Okita came to the Demon Slayer Squad.

Yuya Ubuyashiki has been cured by Yosano Akiko, but the matter has not been revealed.

Souji Okita has been away for the past few years——

Tomioka Yoshiyuki and Sato, who had met in Fujishiyama, successfully promoted to Shuangshuizhu after several years of training.

Yi Hei Xiaoba Nei joined the Ghost Killing Squad and became Snake Zhu.

The Butterfly sisters also joined the Ghost Slayer Squad, and together with Akiko established the "Butterfly House" as a logistical medical institution for the Ghost Slayer Squad.Butterfly Chanahui became a style, and picked up a little sister named Lihualuo Chanahu.

Mrs. Purgatory recovered physically.Purgatory Makijuro saw that his eldest son had achieved success in swordsmanship, so he voluntarily abdicated. After a period of time, Purgatory Kyojuro who killed him became the new Yanzhu.

Shi Tou's family of four was living a good life, but one night, a ghost with no eyes broke into the house and wanted to eat them, but was killed by Shi Tou's brothers.

After this encounter, the two brothers firmly determined to kill ghosts, bid farewell to their parents and joined the ghost killing team, and became the new Xia Zhu within a month after holding the knife.

So far, the Ghost Killing Team has ten members including Yan, Yin, Shui, Hua, Feng, Snake, Yan, and Xia.

……

"That's how it is."

Ubayashiki Yoya said in the secret meeting room with only two people.

"If possible, I hope you can also return to the team, Mr. Huazhu."

"You are the mainstay of the team and an indispensable force to fight against Onimai Tsuji."

The recovered protagonist has a handsome appearance and an extremely sincere expression.

Souji Okita sat facing him.

The protagonist treats all team members like his own children, but treats himself with extra respect and humility.

Okita Souji never figured out why.

"I don't need you to ask, I will also go to fight with Onimai Tsuji."

Okita Souji showed hesitation, "It's just about returning to the team..."

"Although this is everyone's wish, you don't have to force it." Miyayashiki Yaoya paused, "With all due respect, are you... still brooding over the past?"

Okita Souji said frankly.

"After you fell into a coma, [Mysterious Warrior] asked me to go to Aokigahara Forest of Trees to find the acting lord, but I found Dazai. Fortunately, Dazai has no dissatisfaction with the Ghost Killing Team, otherwise, because of my mistake, the entire team may be destroyed. destruction."

If a ghost lurks in...

"Compared to me, maybe that Mr. [Mysterious Warrior] would be more suitable for the Ghost Killing Squad."

Yuya Miyayashiki listened, he was a little puzzled at first, then he seemed to understand something and laughed.

"Mr. Seta—"

"That [mysterious warrior] is you."

Okita Souji was shocked: "...What?!"

"Don't you...have no memory at all?"

Okita Souji rested his hand on his chin, lost in thought.

The memory before picking up Dazai was indeed problematic, occasionally blurred and blank, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that it was caused by the unstable state of the spirit body.

"Are you sure it's me?" Okita Souji asked.

Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded, "Not only the appearance, but also the posture, swordsmanship... there is no mistake."

If so—

When the memory is normal, he is acting as 【Sotei Soujiro】.When the memory was broken, he was acting as a [mysterious warrior]...

What is this, fine score?

Okita Souji thought it was funny.

He didn't think he had such a problem, but that seemed the only way to explain it.

So, the [mysterious warrior] didn't appear anymore, was it because his spirit body became stable and he finally had a real form?

Okita Souji always felt that things were not that simple.

If Dazai is here...

He shook his head slightly, not letting himself think about it.

Seeing that Souji Okita finished thinking, Yoya Ubuyashiki spoke.

"I've always wanted to ask you a question. I apologize if I made you feel unhappy."

The light of Wen Xi's wisdom shone in the purple pupils of Yoya Ubuyashiki.

"You... aren't human, are you?"

"..."

Okita Souji smiled, as a default.

"As a [mysterious warrior], your true face has only been revealed in front of the lords of the past. I also met you with the previous lord when I was a child," said Yuya Miyashiki, "Your appearance is different from that of more than ten years ago. , nothing has changed."

Since the previous protagonist, Okita Souji has been working for the Demon Slayer Squad.

I don't know how many lives have been saved, enough to be trusted.

"I respect you from the bottom of my heart, so forgive me for not being able to treat you the way I treat other pillars."

"But now it is," Okita Souji added with a smile, "Human beings."

"That's great."

"If I'm really that [mysterious warrior]—"

The protagonists of Ubuyashiki in the past have the ability called "foresight", which can predict and avoid future accidents.

"The situation at that time was——you anticipated your coma, you found me as [mysterious warrior], and asked me to find the acting lord who presided over the overall situation during your coma."

Yuya Ubuyashiki nodded.

"Then who is the real surrogate you are looking for?" Yoya Ubuyashiki showed surprise on his face: "The candidate is decided by you."

"?"

"Actually, I wanted you to preside over the overall situation, but you said there are more suitable people."

Out of trust in the other party, Yoya Ubuyashiki did not ask any further questions, took out a pen and a seal, and made a plan with Souji Okita.

Okita Souji frowned.

"Did I tell you what kind of person I was looking for, appearance and personality?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki shook his head.

"Is that so..."

Seeing Mr. Okita struggling, Ubuyashiki Yoya comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much, the matter is over, and the result is good now."

"One day, the world will return you the truth."

Director Okita let go of his doubts: "What you said is true."

"Since you've covered this point, I can't refuse."

Okita Souji smiled.

"In the final battle, I will work hard with everyone in the Demon Slayer Squad."

……

The original style returned, and the morale of the ghost killing team was unprecedentedly high.

Based on the information provided by Osamu Dazai, Souji Okita, together with his lord and other pillars, formulated a plan to defeat Onimai Tsuji.

On the eve of the war.

Souji Okita changed into the Demon Slayer uniform, and the haori was the sky blue Yamagata haori provided by Anding.

"Yo, do you want to play the Shinsengumi?" Usui Tengen joked, "That's gorgeous!"

Before Director Chongtian could open his mouth, Yu Xingming put his palms together, and Yu Sui Tianyuan was startled by a muffled sound.

"Say a few words less."

Yusui Tianyuan:? ? ?

"Yeah, play the role of Okita Souji."

Director Okita smiled indifferently, with a long sword tied around his waist, the hem of his clothes lifted by the wind, and his brows and eyes were full of vigor.

"Want to go out with me?"

……

A month later.

Okita Souji and Kiyomitsu were walking in the small town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains when they suddenly heard a boy shouting.

"Mr. Seta—"

Okita Souji turned his head.

"Tanjiro."

The boy panted with his hands on his knees, raised his head, his cheeks were flushed with excitement, and his red pupils were shining.

"Thank you for the female doctor you introduced."

"She's really amazing! My father has fully recovered!"

"Really," Okita Souji said with a smile, "That's good."

As expected of Akiko.

"Are you alone today?"

Kami Kiyomitsu looked behind Kamado Tanjirou.

"Where are the brothers and sisters?"

"Just me."

Zamon Tanjiro explained: "Actually, my father brought Takeo and Hanako down to sell charcoal yesterday. Today I came down quietly by myself. Although my father said no, I want to make more money before the snow on the mountain road."

"So that everyone can have a better life this winter."

After saying a few words, Tanjiro bowed deeply to Souji Okita, waved goodbye, and ran towards his charcoal selling cart.

The industrious and kind-hearted young charcoal seller shuttles around the town with a smile on his face.

Did not suffer the loss of a loved one, nor will there ever be.

This is a world without evil spirits——

When Tanjiro sells out the charcoal, he will be able to return home with enough silver.

His younger brothers and sisters who had been waiting for a long time would rush forward and surround him, Takeo would unload the bamboo basket for him, Hanako and Shigeru would hold his frozen hands, and his mother, Aoizhi, would bring out the hot meals.

Nezuko would hand him a towel to wipe his face, just wrung out from the hot water, it was just right.

He can also give Nezuko a new kimono.

He can spend this happy winter.

And the rest of my life.

……

"Mission Complete: A World Without Ghosts."

"Congratulations, your redemption value is full."

"Do you want to receive the final reward?"

"—to the end of the Bakumatsu."
