Chief Okita in Taisho

Why did Souji Okita judge that Osamu Dazai was in danger——

At the end of the battle, he managed to cut off the neck of one of the winding ones.

But if one of the top strings doesn't make any tricks, it won't be called the one of the top strings.

—he overcomes the weakness of the neck.

The blood from the severed head stopped, and the flesh of the black dead Mou burst out countless blades, like thorns growing on the body, and each blade could release an attack.

Souji Okita leaped back and distanced himself from him.

Hei Si Mou grew his head again.

A horrible head.

His face was full of scars, and his lips protruded like insect mouthparts, full of sharp teeth.It has spider claw-like horns on its forehead and body.

Literal monsters.

Wow, disfigured.

It was rare for Okita Souji to feel like complaining.

There was a sound like glass being broken, and the figure of Hei Si Mou disappeared.

Ah... a hole has been broken in the barrier.

He is not yet familiar with this ability.

However, it should be fine.

It's getting bright too.

Perhaps because he was not familiar with this place, or perhaps his thoughts were still focused on the battle, it was rare for Okita Souji to overlook one point.

"Let me tell you, that forest is filled with thick fog all day long, and even at noon, there is no sunlight."

This is what the young pot seller said on the train.

——The sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara is impenetrable to sunlight during the day!

Morning light shines into the space on the other side, but it doesn't mean the forest outside is too.

Caizang didn't hear the sound of counting, which proves that the first string is not dead yet!

……

Okita Souji and Kami Kiyomitsu galloped towards the forest entrance.

The enchantment was put away, revealing the forest.

Although it is not as dark as at night, it is still gray, with only a few rays of light coming in through the layers of branches and leaves.

Let me ask, what would a ghost who had gone through a fierce battle and was almost killed want to do most?

Of course, eating people to replenish physical strength.

The closest person is Osamu Dazai!

……

The entrance to the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara.

"Wow……"

The monster suddenly appeared in front of him, Dazai Osamu didn't show the slightest fear on his face, on the contrary, he was interested and scrutinized.

He glanced over the forest, moved down again, and looked at Hei Si Mou.

Heishimou's mouthparts that couldn't close were drooling, and his eyeballs were distorted, revealing greed and covetousness.

Rational wandering on the brink of loss.

I overcame death!

As long as you eat this person, you can recover immediately!

I won't lose again!

Osamu Dazai took two steps back, and spoke before Heisei Mou could make a move.

"There is a frozen river next to it, do you want to take a picture?"

"See how ugly you look."

Hei Si Mou paused, and continued to pounce.

Osamu Dazai glanced at the sky again, with one hand behind his back, tightly holding a transparent reagent bottle, the viscous blood inside was slightly swaying, and his thumb rested on the lid of the needle tube, ready to open it at any time if there was any situation.

Five seconds to go, four seconds...

Yuan Tong glanced at Hei Si Mou's sword.

"Ah, it's a samurai."

"Obviously they are all warriors—"

Osamu Dazai said, with sarcasm and indifference like compassion.

"Soujirou and you really are...Beauty and the Beast."

To shut up! ! !

Hei Si Mou rushed towards Dazai Zhi, and his sharp claws were about to pierce Dazai Zhi's heart——

The sun finally rose over the forest and shone here.

"Gah——!!!"

The skin on the fingertips festered in an instant, and Hei Simo wailed and plunged into the forest.

Just in time.

The angle is just right.

The location is just right.

Everything is as calculated.

Osamu Dazai stood on the edge of the sun, turning his head to watch the Oni disappear into the darkness.The sunlight made his skin appear white with reflections, and the contrast made his eyes deeper, as if he was looking at a dead object.

"..."

He put away the needle tube, lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and muttered.

"It's a pity that it didn't die again."

"Dazai!"

Osamu Dazai raised his head, and the darkness in his eyes disappeared.

Okita Souji and California Kiyomitsu came running.

Seeing Osamu Dazai in the sun, Kami Kiyomitsu whispered, "This guy is smart."

Seeing that the other party was fine, Okita Souji felt relieved.

"Did a ghost appear just now, Dazai?"

Osamu Dazai nodded: "It has appeared."

He looked at Souji Okita with wet eyes: "It's so scary."

Okita Souji was stunned.

Soon, his expression softened.He raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Osamu Dazai's cheek or rub his hair, but he stopped in the middle.

He smiled softly.

"However, Dazai managed to survive."

"It's amazing."

……Eh?

Dazai opened his eyes slightly.

This means...

He stared closely at Souji Okita who was talking to Kiyomitsu Kawasaki.I don't know if it was on purpose, but after saying that sentence, the other party stopped paying attention to him.

Give cowards room to fend for themselves.

Was he... seen?

The content of the conversation between Okita Souji and California Kiyomitsu is naturally to continue to hunt for Kamizu.

The ghosts stay in the forest during the day and won't come out. It would be bad if they go to attack the village at night.

Fortunately-

The bottom of Heisei Mou's clogs was stained with the juice of the other shore flower, and through this, Okita Souji could perceive his approximate location.

"He ran to the mountain next to the forest, that direction..."

Okita Souji's expression froze.

"Seta-kun?"

it's there...

Okita Souji announced the name of the place.

"—Vine attacking the mountain."

Fuji Attack Mountain is the place where the Ghost Slayer Squad [final selection] takes place.

Swordsmen who want to join the Demon Slayer Squad will generally receive the guidance of a trainer, and then go to Fujishiyama to participate in the final selection. Only after passing the pass can they join the team.

From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are wisteria flowers blooming all year round to drive away ghosts.

From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, the captured ghosts are imprisoned.They have eaten two or three people at most, and it is suitable for newcomers to be tested.

The wisteria flower prison can trap ordinary ghosts, but it is not very useful for twelve ghost moons.

Not to mention the winding one.

Director Okita slightly frowned: "I don't know if there will be a final selection tonight..."

In order to prevent being discovered by ghosts, the selection time is not fixed, only the trainer knows.

"Then let's hurry there too." California Qingguang said.

Okita Souji nodded.

"Dazai?"

Dazai understood what he meant.

"I'm fine..." Osamu Dazai yawned and rubbed his eyes.

Just a little sleepy.

"Don't force it," Chief Director Okita said softly, "Dazai can go to the hotel in town to rest and wait for us first."

Dazai shook his head.

"Ok."

Director Okita smiled and said, "Then let's go... Dazai?"

Osamu Dazai walked in front of him with a serious face, "Raise your arms."

I don't know when there was a brand new bandage in my hand.

"Ah... this?"

Okita Souji looked at the injury, and was about to say it's okay, when he looked at Dazai Osamu with a somewhat stubborn look, he smiled instead.

"Then please."

at the same time.

Black Death Mou——

"Mr. Miserable."

Using ghost blood, Hei Si Mou got in touch with the king of ghosts, Ghost Wu Tsuji.

Onimai Tsuji Mucan was able to grasp the movements of all his subordinates, but he didn't keep an eye on them all the time.In addition, Hei Si Mou and him are more like a "cooperative alliance" relationship, and he has given Hei Si Mou extremely high freedom.

Therefore, Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi didn't notice that Hei Si Mou lost contact with him for a while.

Just annoyed at the embarrassment of the other party.

"Hei Si Mou, how did you do this?!"

One of the dignified strings was beaten like this!

Anger swept through Onimai Tsuji's heart.

inability!

ugly!

Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi, is a man who pays great attention to skin.

Hei Si Mou swallowed all the words.

"……Feel sorry."

"Have you killed the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad?"

"This person has not been found yet..."

Strange to say, the reason why Hei Si Mou came to the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara was because he received the news that the lord of the Ghost Slayer Squad would appear.

However, only Souji Okita met him.

"How many pillars have been eliminated? I heard that the ghost killing team now has another rock pillar."

"Not yet..."

"News about the blue Bana flower?!" Guiwu Tsuji's voice dropped to freezing point.

"Not yet..."

Even if he was not in front of his eyes, Hei Si Mou could feel the other party's fury.

The ghost blood all over his body began to surge and scream——

The extremely aggressive ghost cells are like sparks, trying to burn every inch of the body.

"hiss……"

Hei Si Mou knelt down on the ground, bit his lips tightly, and suppressed moaning in his throat.

Just a little bit of pain...

It took him three whole days to become a ghost!

I don't know how long it took, when Hei Shimou was so painful that he almost fainted, the pain dissipated like an ebb tide.

Wounds that have been delayed due to serious injuries heal.

Master Wu Mi...helped him recover?

With this, Hei Si Mou finally returned to normal.

He heard Guiwu Tsuji's cold snort.

"Thank you...Master Wu Mi."

Although not at the level of PTSD, Oni Wu Tsuji is still a little afraid of the person who beat Hei Si Mou to serious injury.

"What kind of breathing does that person use?"

"Breath of flowers and breath of water..."

"Have any markings?"

"No……"

Hearing that it wasn't Breath of the Sun, Onimai Tsuji was relieved, and immediately ignored it.

He sneered: "An ordinary swordsman who doesn't even have markings, beat you like this - one of the top strings?!"

"Yes... this subordinate... is speechless."

"I'll give you blood—"

Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi began to be unable to restrain his tyrannical emotions, "Kill him, Hei Si Mou, don't waste time on other things!"

"Hundreds of years, already hundreds of years?! Is there any news about the blue Bana flower!"

"It seems that I took care of your winding too much, so it's better to work harder for me in the future."

"Yes..." Hei Simou said, "I will deal with him as soon as possible."

Contact is broken.

Hei Simou clenched his fists tightly, and he could hardly suppress his hostility.

Damn guy, he was scolded by Master Wu Mi!

Okita Souji——

Of course, Hei Si Mou understood that he hated geniuses.

If Enichi is as unattainable as the sun, Okita Souji is as clean as falling snow.

In front of these two people, all the darkness in my heart could not be suppressed.

These people always want to make him look so miserable!

hateful.

Last time I failed to kill Yuanyi, this time, I must kill Okita Souji with my own hands!

***

Rush to the side of the three people and one pig who attacked the mountain.

Osamu Dazai revealed something about the first string-

During the Warring States Period, there was a warrior named Ji Guo Yan Sheng, who was a member of the Ghost Slayer Squad just like his younger brother Ji Guo Yuan Yi.

But not long after, Ji Guo Yan Sheng rebelled against the Ghost Killing Squad and became the original leader.

That is, one of the top strings, Black Death Mou.

In order to express his sincerity to the ghost king, he even bloodbathed the headquarters at that time, and brought the head of the lord to the ghost dance Tsuji.

The little protagonist, a six-year-old child, was forced to be on top.

Why betray?unknown reason.

It is worth mentioning that his younger brother, Ji Guoyuanyi, is the most powerful genius of the Demon Slayer Squad, a user of Primordial Breath · Breath of the Sun, and taught the other team members how to breathe.

The five basic types of "Shuiyanyanfenglei" are all derived from Rihu.

With the breathing method, people can become as powerful as ghosts, and the ghost killing team can barely fight against ghosts.

……

"And this kind of thing..."

California Qingguang originally wanted to sigh with emotion how Osamu Dazai knew so much, and it was not surprising to think about the other party's previous identity.

The vines attack the mountainside.

The gathering space was messy and full of footprints, and no one was there.

Trials have begun.

After a long journey, the juice on the soles of Hei Si Mou's clogs was almost dry. I only knew that the other party had come here, but I couldn't confirm the exact location.

"Master Seta—"

"Why are you here?"

The leader of the ghost killing team came over.

They bowed their heads to Souji Okita, with a kind of respect from the bottom of their hearts.

"There has been an emergency."

Okita Souji asked, "How long has it been since the final selection?"

"Tonight is the first night, and it started less than an hour ago."

Okita Souji told them about Kamiichi.

The face of the person in charge changed suddenly.

"understood."

"We will report the matter to headquarters immediately."

"Then you..."

They looked at Souji Okita, as if they had some kind of hope, but they couldn't say it.

"I will also participate in the experiment."

Director Okita took the initiative to speak, and smiled understandingly, "After all, it was also a problem that occurred when I was arresting the first one."

Try to find newcomers to participate in the experiment, and gather them in one place for protection.The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, his voice trembling.

"Even now, you are still willing to help..."

"Thank you very much."

Okita Souji entered the forest.

"Is the first string already gone?" Ka Qingguang asked.

"No." Okita Souji replied.

Like the guise of "Suicide Forest", Fuji Attack Mountain is also an excellent place for cannibalism.If there are fewer people, everyone will default to being eaten by the kid.

Moreover, Director Okita knew that after Hei Si Mou recovered, he would fight him again.

This is the stubbornness of the samurai—

As long as you draw your sword, you and your opponent will surely die.

Okita Souji turned around, took off the sword and put it in Dazai Osamu's hand.

"Although Qingguang and I will protect your safety, you should hold this knife first."

"As soon as there is a situation, draw the knife."

"..."

Osamu Dazai said that you are embarrassing me.

"I can't use a knife."

"It's okay," Souji Okita said, "Just pull//out."

Osamu Dazai held a knife, always feeling that this thing was not suitable for him.

It's heavier than expected, Akiaki Soujiro looks very light when using it.Killed a lot of ghosts, it should be very sharp, if you use it to kill yourself...

"If you want to use it for something else..."

Osamu Dazai raised his eyes, and Okita Souji was staring at him, his expression and tone were very gentle, but his eyes seemed to see through his heart.

A trace of black air surged up.

"Not only will it not succeed, but I will be angry."

"..."

Ok.

Osamu Dazai pursed his lips and dismissed the idea.

He wondered, "Don't Soujiro carry a knife?"

"There are ways of fighting without or without a knife, don't worry."

Okita Souji ran towards the direction of the fighting sound, "Let's hurry up."

approach.

A black-haired boy was just blown away by a ghost, the fox mask fell off, and he was about to crash into a tree—if he did, he would probably have a concussion and become unconscious.

Okita Souji moved very quickly, rushed to the black-haired boy, raised his arms to catch him.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka: "...?"

rescued?

"Be careful--"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka shrank his pupils, and the ghost just now appeared behind Souji Okita, shrouding him in the shadow, with claws only a foot away!

The sword light sliced ​​across——

The ghost's head fell to the ground.California Qingguang twirled a sword flower and put the sword back into its sheath.

"With me here, you don't want to touch Seta-kun."

"Thank you, Qingguang."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at the man who rescued him and lowered his head again, and smiled at him with warm eyes.

"Are you okay?"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka: "!"

His cheeks flushed involuntarily.

nice, nice girl...
