About the matter of Mrs. Chen's superstition in science

"Tanjiro, what's in it? Is it something important? Why do you keep carrying it around like this?"

Afraid that she would ask about the other party's privacy, Wakana hurriedly added, "Ah, of course, it's okay if you don't want to answer."

Tanjiro fell silent as expected, just when Wakana thought he would not answer, a dull but resolute voice came from beside him, "It's my sister, the most important family."

"..." Wakana suddenly felt that she had said the wrong thing. It turned out that her younger sister had passed away, and she brought up his sad past because of a momentary curiosity. Tanjirou must be in great pain now, right?

Walked silently for a while, unknowingly there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around him, Wakana was so absorbed in how to apologize that she couldn't notice it, finally made up her mind, stopped and called his name, "Tanjirou."

Tanjiro turned back with doubts, and found that Wakana's face was serious, and he couldn't help but ask seriously, "What's wrong?"

"First of all, I would like to apologize to you for the offense just now. I didn't know that you had encountered such a thing, and I brought it up lightly. I am really sorry."

Wakana bent down deeply, Tanjiro hastily stepped aside, "It's not that serious, you don't need to do this, Wakana, get up quickly."

"It's up to you not to forgive, but it's my attitude, so again, I'm sorry. Then—"

Wakana grabbed his hand, squeezed it hard, and tried to convey her inner thoughts, "I can't really empathize with Tanjiro who lost a loved one, and I apologize again! Because my mother passed away before I can remember." , but she often appears in my dreams, very, very gentle, I think she must be looking at me in that world, just thinking like this will give me the motivation to move forward. Tanjiro, whether it is when you are sad or want to When you give up, don't be sad, your sister will definitely hope that you can walk on with a smile. Although this is a comforting word that anyone can say, but Tanjiro, you still have friends, and I will always watch you, you are not alone , so, run and keep going."

"Wakana, I think we're really going to run."

Wakana was taken aback by Tanjiro's irrelevant words, and she only had time to utter a single syllable representing doubt before being dragged into a run passively.

Wakana asked inexplicably, "What happened to Tanjirou all of a sudden?"

What's wrong?Tanjiro also wanted to ask why, why would such a monster appear during the day?ghost?No, if you can run under the sun, it is definitely not a ghost.

I thought that the zombie I encountered by the well last time was an exception, but now it seems that there are man-eating monsters other than ghosts in this world.

Running too fast, Ruo Cai almost tripped over a protruding stone on the ground, and the back of her head felt numb after stabilizing her figure.

Seeing that she was about to turn her head, Tanjiro quickly called her to stop, "Don't look behind!" Wakana is too gentle, she is just an ordinary person, so he decided that there is no need to let her know the dark side of the world.

There were too many problems in her mind, Wakana endured the chill that pierced her scalp and did not turn back, she grabbed Tanjiro's hand and continued to run forward, but unfortunately her physical strength was limited, her breathing became disordered after a while, and her lungs were hot and uncomfortable.

Tanjiro knew that this was not going to work, so he ran into the woods where the space was too narrow for a monster with a huge body, looked around, and placed Wakana behind a bush of dwarf bamboo, "You stay here and don't move."

"A murderer again? Why are there so many? Could it be a criminal gang like the Mafia?"

Tanjiro didn't correct her cognition and didn't have time to explain, he just replied helplessly, "Yes, he is a murderer, so no matter what voice you hear later, don't come out until I say it."

This scene seemed familiar, Tanjirou's face overlapped with that night, even the worry in his eyes was exactly the same, Wakana nodded blankly.

After Tanjiro backed away, Wakana even wondered if an accomplice of the murderer would emerge from behind her this time.Thinking of this, she turned her head unconsciously, and the black shadow approaching in vain made her instinctively reach her waist.

She froze when she touched the sequins on her waist, she didn't know what she was going to touch.

The figure against the light had already approached at the moment Wakana was in a trance, and the long brown hair fell on Wakana's face because of the movement of squatting down.

"Hiding in such a place alone, is it playing hide and seek?"

Different from the grinning smile, the gentleness spreading from the corner of the mouth is as delicate as water.

Not a murderer, but a young girl.

Wakana's wandering thoughts came back in an instant, and she was frightened by the distance of only a few centimeters, and fell back to the ground in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the man propped himself up and laughed, with a clear voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

Wakana got up in a little embarrassment, squatted back down again, and at the same time pulled her to squat down together, making a silent gesture, "Hide quickly, there are murderers over there, if we are found, we will drag Tanjiro down. "

The girl poked her head out, saw the two sides fighting not far away, and asked uncertainly, "You just said... a murderer?"

Seeing her laughing again, Wakana felt a little uncomfortable, "What are you laughing at? Tanjirou is fighting, and I can't do anything. It's not funny at all."

"It's better for you to stay here, don't go out." The girl glanced at her meaningfully, with a playful look in her eyes, "It can be seen that your companion wants to protect you, all kinds of meanings Up."

Wakasa couldn't understand what she meant, but she always felt that there was something in her words, and was about to ask, when the other party pointed her thumb at her nose, "My name is Natsume Reiko, what about you? Look at your clothes, you are a lady from a rich family in the city, right?"

And the young man who was fighting the monster over there was not a young master in the aristocratic circle no matter how he looked at it, so he couldn't figure out why these two people were together.

"Reiko-chan? My name is my wife Wakana, and that's Kamado Tanjiro."

"Sauce? Our grades are almost the same and we can just call them by name."

The girl who met her for the first time treated her as her own age, but Wakana couldn't face it brazenly, so she had to say solemnly, "My daughter is already in school."

"Daughter?" Reiko opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and looked at her from head to toe several times, not letting go of a single hair, "No, no, no, you don't even frown at all, your skin is more moist than mine Nen, you actually said that you are already Obasan?"

There is still some difference between 22 years old and Obasan, Wakana said dryly, "It's auntie."

Reiko really has been around for a long time, and Tong Yan is too much.

But no matter how Wakana emphasized, Reiko always went her own way and called her by name directly, "Wakana, I can't tell you anymore, if you don't go out, that monster, that murderer will be killed by your friend."

Whether it's a murderer or an ordinary person, killing someone is a crime. Wakana didn't want Tanjirou's hands to be stained with blood, so she hurriedly stood up and wanted to go out with Reiko, but she turned around halfway and was pressed by her shoulders and sat down again.

"Since your friend told you to hide here, you should stay there honestly. There's nothing to do over there. I'll come as soon as I go."

The sound of Reiko's footsteps ran away as soon as she finished speaking.

Wakana squatted back down again, the powerlessness of being unable to do anything made her breathless, and she heard Reiko saying in a trance——

"Hey, what's your name? If you tell me your name, I'll save your life."
