COSER, I became the leader of despair

"It's better to die than to marry an old man I don't know." When the spring was cold, Haruyuki contracted typhoid fever. The doctors of the ghost killing team said that she was weak. If she couldn't survive this winter, she really couldn't survive it. .

Haruyuki said this after hearing what the doctors said.

Haruyuki's full name is Haruyuki Hitomi, and he used to be Hise-kun of Hitomi Castle, while Enichi was just a villager at that time.Although he carried a knife, his family cut firewood for a living.Yuanyi and his wife, Ge, are a couple from the countryside.The winter of that year was extremely cold, and people increased the consumption of firewood.

Because they send firewood to the poor and sell firewood to the rich.

It was because of this business that Yuanyi met Haruyuki.At that time, they just met each other at a distance of more than ten meters, and the other party took a look at him and left.

Later, I met again, when the son of the castellan of Hitomi Castle was identified as a monster by the exorcists.At that time, Enichi's wife Uta was killed by a ghost.When the other party left, he grabbed his stomach, but the child in his stomach was also eaten by the ghost.

Yuanyi once wished that the family of three would live together in a small house.But even this small happiness is spoiled by man.It is the creatures called "oni" that destroy that happiness.

After that, he joined an organization called "Demon Killing Squad" and embarked on the path of "Demon Slayer".

One day they heard that a monster was seen in the city, and that monster was probably a ghost.The members of the ghost killing team trust Yuanyi very much, so this task is entrusted to him.

However, when he arrived at Renjian City, the first thing Yuanyi saw was the Princess Highness who had never been out of the city.At that time, the other party climbed over the wall from the main city of the city, and the shoes on his feet fell out of nowhere.

Yuanyi caught the opponent.

"So it's you." She didn't seem surprised by Yuanyi's arrival, she looked like a refugee exhausted to escape.Although she was wearing such clean clothes, her face was clean and fair.

"My brother is possessed by a monster, are you an exorcist?"

Facing the firewood seller whom she had only met once before, Haruyuki spoke astonishing words.

"Monster?" Yuan Yi is not an exorcist, if it is a monster's monster, he is afraid that his breathing method will not be able to completely wipe out the other party.In the past, he had never encountered a monster.Monsters and ghosts were extremely popular in the Heian era hundreds of years ago, and their behavior was almost to the point of domineering.But at that time there were very brilliant onmyojis, but now the school of onmyojis is on the decline.

"Yes, it's a monster." The princess who came out nodded after thanking her. "The others probably didn't notice it either."

Facing such a princess who seemed to have penetrated the true face of His Royal Highness Yin Dao before anyone else, Yuan Yi asked a little stupidly: "Then what should I do?" Yuan Yi thought that he might give it a try, but this What does the princess think?

The other party looked indifferent.

"It's okay, the exorcist has already arrived."

Yuanyi waited in place for a while, and indeed heard that some people who claimed to be exorcists were approaching.Could it be that the princess found those people?

Then, the princess said: "Since an exorcist has come..."

"Then is it convenient for you to take me away?"

Before Yuan could answer, she tore through the bottom of her somewhat heavy skirt.She had already taken off many layers of her coat when she escaped, but she still felt that what she was wearing was too complicated to move around.So, she picked up the pocket knife she carried for self-defense, cut a hole in the tight hem of the skirt, then stretched the hole and tore it off.

Enichi's answer was, of course, "yes".

He does not refuse the pleas of those in distress.

But where?This is also a problem.

The princess—the other party asked Yuanyi to call her Haruyuki, and Haruyuki was her real name—and said, "I'll go wherever you go."

This is really a bit wrong.Ji Guoyuanyi now no longer has a shelter like a family. After he joined the ghost killing team, he has been boarding in the house of Yanzhu Purgatory Nanshoulang of the same team.Purgatory is a very good person, he was also the one who found Yuanyi who had been sitting there holding his wife's body for seven days and seven nights, and then told Yuanyi that the culprit of all this was a ghost, and he was the one who led Yuanyi to join the ghost killing team. The breathing method that Ryoka possessed alone spread among the swordsmen.

"Maybe the lord will help you." The lord Yuanyi said was the lord of the Ghost Killing Squad, a wise young man who always thinks about everything.

Haruyuki let out an "oh", and in the end, after hearing about the princess' experience, the lord did indeed arrange a corresponding place for her.

Since the residence that the lord arranged for her was very close to the site of the Demon Slayer Team Yanzhu, the number of times Haruyuki was able to see Ji Guoyuanyi naturally increased.

In Haruyuki's mind, the other party was like a monk-like man without worldly desires.So after hearing about the other party's wife and children from Purgatory Minami Shourou, Haruyuki's first reaction was disbelief, and his second reaction was one of silent mourning.As for her, she was once promised to the city lord of Daigo City.The lord of the city was a middle-aged man who was brave and good at fighting, and his wife had already given birth to two children for him.But the eldest son was dedicated to the 72 pillar demon gods by Daigo Jingguang for the rise and fall of the territory, and the second son grew up very well.

I want to marry such a man in the future...

Haruyuki used to think sometimes that he had to escape before that thing started no matter what.It happened that Yin Dao was possessed by a monster, and her father died because of the monster. Taking this opportunity, she ran out, and then happened to meet Ji Guoyuanyi who came to check because of the news of the ghost.

Everything is such a coincidence, the world is a physical space connected by coincidence.

Haruyuki thought, Enichi was not that old either.

Lost his wife and children at a young age.

She thought, this is the impermanence of the world.Those who want to protect can never be well protected, and those who want to be together can never be with him.

If one day, she has something she wants to protect, she will definitely work hard for this goal.If you don't do it like this, wouldn't she look too useless like that?

However, after two to three years, Haruyuki still hadn't found what he wanted to protect.In the third year of coming here, the wind and snow were particularly heavy, and the cold wind blew on people's faces like knives.Even if you light a fire in the house and put a heater in your hand, if you don't pay attention, you will be attacked by coldness.She was not in good health, so it didn't take long for her to catch a cold easily.

"Will the temperature rise next winter?" Haruyuki, who was hiding under the quilt, squinted his eyes and looked outside, said this to Enichi who came to visit her just after finishing his mission.Yuan Yi is very prestigious in the Ghost Killing Team, not only because he is the one who spread the breathing method, but also because he is the most powerful person in the entire Ghost Killing Team.But even so, he has no way to know the temperature of the next winter in advance.

"I don't know." After responding to such words, Yuanyi said in a stuttering voice, "My brother also joined the ghost killing team with me."

Haruyuki thought that this should not be the main thing the other party wanted to say.

She heard Yuanyi continue to say: "Brother, he really wants to see you..."

"Is that so..." Haruyuki felt a little cold in his stomach, as if someone had stuffed a whole block of ice into his stomach.She hugged the stove tightly with both hands, and her eyelids were a little heavy.

"Next time……"

She felt a little tired, so she closed her eyes.

Yuanyi went out very quietly.

After about half a day, the second son of the Purgatory family ran over and asked if he wanted to have dinner together.Yuanyi thought for a while and walked into the room, wanting to wake Haruyuki up and ask if he wanted to come together.

The face of the young woman who was neither extremely beautiful nor ugly looked abnormally white in the warm room.

Yuanyi dared to touch the other person's forehead.

Somewhat strange.

He opened his eyes again.

—the blood no longer flows smoothly.

Haruyuki could not survive this winter and had already left.

Ji Guoyuan was a little confused for a while.He didn't know whether he was going to tell others the news of the other party's death now, or to mourn for her in advance.

While thinking, snowflakes fell from the sky.
