Weather Blade

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the warm sunshine is very comfortable on people. It is a very pleasant thing to walk in the forest talking and laughing with friends at this time.

Throughout the afternoon, Chiharu and Kanae Eangela chatted all over the world. The topics ranged from what kind of sauce to serve with new tonkatsu to the latest trendy headgear in Tokyo.

To Kanae's surprise, although Angela was not very talkative and just a qualified listener as expected, Chiharu gave her one surprise after another.

According to her narration, this slender girl who looks about the same age as her sister has traveled almost all over Japan in the past year.And what she admires the most is that although Qianqing only stayed in each place for a short period of time, she can vividly describe the local food style.

"Because the time I stay in each place is limited, I spend every day as if it were my last day. Of course, I can learn a lot of interesting things in the shortest time~"

In a village where children have to wear clothes sewed from rags to pray for safety on their birthdays, many children in order not to let their friends see that their clothes are full of floral patterns and plaids. After choosing the story of staying behind closed doors, Qianqing finally got a little tired

Just when they reached the intersection of the trail that crosses the forest and the stream, she stepped on the protruding stones of the rocks by the stream, and at the same time touched the top of the rocks with both hands, and jumped onto her favorite bed of the past month. At the top of the broad gray rock, she smiled and beckoned Kanae and Angela to come up.

"Although the sun is about to set, this rock is still warm and super comfortable. Come up quickly~"

"You really like this position."

Angela, who has been brought here by Qianqing to bask in the sun for a month, is already used to this. When Qianqing waved her hand, she imitated her movements and climbed to the top of the rock, and sat down beside her.

Seeing their tacit actions, Kanae hooked the corners of her mouth, and climbed up behind Angela.

"Because this is where I first met Angela~"

Sitting on the left is Angela, and Qian Qing, who is sitting on the right, feels that she has reached the pinnacle of happiness for this year. She stretches her body comfortably against the orange sunlight that has already sunk into the horizon with her hands open.

"I still remember that time when Angela sat on this rock with her arms around her knees, staring at the sun disappearing completely, leaving only some lonely little expressions in the orange afterglow sky—"

"Thousands—clear—"

"Wow——! Angela's angry look is scary~ Kanae save me!"

"Haha, you two really have a good relationship."

"Yes~"

"certainly not!!!"

Accompanied by the fading afterglow, the three girls sitting on the boulder made a fuss, and the laughter came out in the warm wind, and when they touched the surrounding tall trees, they spun back, and together with the sound of rubbing leaves, they played a song. An anthem of joy, like a celebration of the coming summer.

But suddenly, an indifferent young voice broke the silence.

"I found a strange... person."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who disappeared all afternoon, was carrying a beige cloth bag in his left hand, and the emerald green that almost overflowed the mouth of the bag explained his victory this afternoon.

However, he didn't look satisfied. The beautiful and unique haori had a lot of wrinkles. Although his fair and handsome face was always silent, people familiar with it could vaguely see two grievances.

And the source of this change was a wild boar with human hands and feet that was struggling crazily in his left hand?

"You can't speak fried hair, let me go!"

Just when Qianqing wondered if she was too tired to play in the afternoon and her eyes were dazzled, that 'wild boar' spoke!And it is very recognizable, it belongs to the hoarse voice of a teenager in the voice-changing period-human voice!

"people?!!!"

Suddenly there was such a strange creature in front of him, Tomioka Yoshiyuki's bag full of rattan grass couldn't attract the three jumping down from the rock, and he didn't even care about the girl's attention by flying up his clothes and hair up.

"Ah! It's really a human! And it's a very beautiful boy!"

Qian Qing, who was at the forefront, reached out her hand to touch the face of 'Wild Boar' curiously, and tugged tentatively, but unexpectedly separated the 'Wild Boar''s body and head, revealing its fierce face.

It was a face so exquisite and beautiful that it reminded Qianqing of expensive western dolls in department stores. If it hadn't been for the face's prematurely shedding of baby fat to reveal edges and corners, and the flat chest exposed with his struggling movements, Qianqing would have liked it I suspect he is a girl.

Facing the child Qianqing has always been very tolerant, even if she was stared at viciously by the other party, she still smiled back with kindness.

It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to accept this at all.

"You smiling long-haired girl, give me back my fur!"

The handsome young man whose headgear was taken away by Chiharu struggled desperately, even bent his upper body at an incredible angle, as if wanting to bite Tomioka Yoshiyuki to let him go, but the other party was already on guard and threw the cloth bag containing rattan grass in his right hand to Chana Huihou made a lightning strike, quickly and accurately grabbed the back of the boy's head, and narrowly stopped him when his teeth were about to touch his sleeve.

"Ah, I'm sorry, is this something important to you?" When Tomioka Yoshiyuki let go of the restraints, and the curled up beautiful boy suddenly raised his head to restore the original state of being pinched horizontally under his armpit, Chiharu glared at him viciously. Before cursing, he gently put the wild boar hood back on him, "I didn't expect this hood to be so loose, it would fall off as soon as I pulled it, sorry."

"Hmph! It seems that for the sake of your good attitude, Inosuke-sama will let you go for now. But this is not an example!"

Putting on the wild boar headgear again, the boy's struggle stopped for a moment, and he spoke to Qianqing angrily, then fell silent for a second, and then started a new round of struggle.

"How long are you going to hold on to Lao Tzu! Quickly let go!!!"

Different from the white and delicate skin hidden under the wild boar headgear, the oiran would be jealous. Although the boy's exposed skin is still fair, there are many old and new scratches on closer inspection. The muscles bulging when he clenches his fists are as solid as a young man powerful.

Therefore, when the boy clenched his fist while struggling, and hit Tomioka Yoshiyuki with a half-unchanged expression over and over again, Chiharu, a bystander, felt pain for him.

"Well, Mr. Tomioka, why don't you put this child down first and have a good chat?"

Although I don't know why Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who went to collect vines and grass, came back with such a strange child, but it's not a problem to just hold each other stiff.And let this child continue beating like this, what if the already dull young man really becomes even more stupid!In that case, it may be that even a considerate person such as Kanae cannot communicate with him happily!

"He can run."

Probably because of the pain from being beaten, Tomioka Yoshiyuki threw the bag to Kanae, both hands were freed, holding the struggling young boy's armpits with both hands, and raised him up in front of him.It just so happened that no matter how the boy struggled, his hands and feet couldn't reach his position.

"Damn it! Let go of Inosuke-sama, you bastard! Be careful I'm being rude!"

Perhaps it was the first time someone had been restrained by such an overwhelming force. After countless attempts, the young man who still couldn't break free from the opponent's shackles panicked. Very imposing, but his loud and contented voice is far less than before, and the self-proclaimed from 'Inosuke-sama' to 'I' all show his uneasiness at this time.

Interestingly, though, he himself doesn't seem to realize this.

"He won't let me pick the rattan grass on the mountain." Facing the urging eyes of the three women on the opposite side, Tomioka Yoshiyuki still did not let go, and insisted on his position unmoved, "Ordinary people are not his opponents. "

So Tomioka was worried that this child would hinder the members of the Demon Slayer Squad who went to the mountain to collect vines and grass in the future, so he brought him back?

Instantly understanding her companion's intentions, Kanae frowned even deeper.

This child wearing a wild boar hood is full of mysteries, but judging from his appearance and behavior, he doesn't look like a child under the care of his parents.Under normal circumstances, she would bring this kind of orphan back to the Butterfly House.

However, unlike the children she met in the past, this little boy in front of her is not one of those children whose family members were killed by ghosts and lost their shelter.

Looking at his strong body and full of vitality, one can roughly guess how free and happy he is on the mountain. Bringing such a child back to the butterfly house may only break his wings.

But keeping him here may indeed prevent the next members from coming to pick the rattan grass as Tomioka said, but they are not good at taking him away. This child looks very strong. House of Wisteria Flowers His old grandpa and grandma probably can't control him...

After going through all the solutions she could think of in her mind within a few seconds and still getting no results, Kanae raised her eyes and met her colleague with a vague look of helplessness.

"How to do?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked calmly on the surface, but coupled with his hands stretched out straight at this time, trying to avoid the appearance of the young boy waving his little hands and feet, no matter how cold his eyes are, he can't maintain his image of the flower of Gaoling up.

Kanae, who was in distress, wanted to laugh seeing him like this, but because she hadn't thought of a solution to the matter, she had to hold back and continue to think hard.

"let me think again……"

During the brief moment when they were arguing over the sudden appearance of the wild boar boy, the last rays of the sun were also swallowed by the mountains, leaving only the orange-red clouds in the sky, which was suddenly covered by a large black cloud, and the wind suddenly picked up, and the sky instantly became It was pitch black, save for a flash of light brought by lightning.

"It's going to rain soon, shall we take the child home first?"

Qianqing spoke suddenly, with a crisp and lively voice with a smile, which was especially obvious in this gloomy weather where only the young boy struggled and muttered.

"Although this child looks healthy, Mr. Tomioka 'caught' him from the mountain after all. Just in case, why don't you take him to Tao for a check?"

"There are a lot of messy bugs and poisonous snakes on the mountain. Such a lively and lovely child, it won't be good to have any sequelae."

Perhaps the sky was too dark and the vision was limited. For some reason, Qianqing always felt that when she said the word lively and cute, Tomioka Yoshiyuki gave herself a quiet look.

Those blue eyes, which were as calm as water when they first met, somehow revealed a sense of grievance.

The author has something to say:
