As we all know, winding zero is a human being

An inconspicuous family living in the deep mountains and old forests, you have explained the answer to a question that no one has known for thousands of years. The seemingly reasonable explanation always feels that something makes him feel very incongruous, but this He didn't have time to think about it for a while.

How should I put it, at this moment he had the urge to cry, and his intricate emotions were intertwined. Although he hadn't waited for verification, he just had an intuition that he had found the key to breaking the game.

Tanjiro was keenly aware that his mood was very unstable. The bewildered boy put down his chopsticks and dared not eat the wild vegetables in the bowl: "What's the matter, Mr. Zero, is this kind of flower——"

"—Can't you eat it?!"

zero:"……"

The tense breath was pierced by pure and direct worry, and he had to explain to the family who was also nervous: "Your family has been eating for so long...it should be It'll be fine."

He laughed a little mockingly: "After all, this is a unique and irreplaceable medicinal material that is recorded in the prescription for treating a special disease."

"Medical materials?" Nezuko clenched his sleeves subconsciously after hearing this, "Is it because someone in Mr. Zero's family is sick, so do you need to find this medicinal material?"

Looking at the worry in her bright eyes, Zero didn't know how to respond, he paused and nodded slightly.

The flowers that can only bloom in the day are something that the ghosts that can only live in the night long for but can never touch. He stared at the dishes in the bowl and thought, and felt that the joke of fate was really playing with them. up.

Even if we think about it a little deeper, if this is really the blue Bana flower, although it is rare, there are ghosts around, why have we only heard such vague and fragmented news for so long?

...Wait a minute, there are almost no ghosts nearby, so it can't be because of this flower, right?

In the room, apart from Tanjirou's younger brothers and sisters who were still ignorant, Mrs. Aoie, Nezuko and Tanjirou also had no intention of continuing to eat.

Tanjiro stood up very directly, trotted out of the room, rummaged through all the dried vegetables that had just been put in the kitchen, and put them in the package.

Zero took the heavy package, and his mood, which can be said to have calmed down a little, became agitated again.

Even though he didn't know who the other party was, Tanjirou's eyes, which were as worried as his own sister's, showed extremely gentle emotions: "I don't know if these are useful, I will pay more attention in the mountains when the next spring begins." , we can only..."

"Thank you." Zero realized that he could only utter this syllable shortly. It was the same a hundred years ago and it is the same now. He didn't know how to express his gratitude to them.

Mrs. Kuizhi shook her head, she said in a relaxed tone while waving her hands: "It's just one dish missing for our family, everyone is very happy to help, right?"

Nezuko also nodded approvingly.

"...Thank you very much."

Zero had an urge to take out all his belongings and put them here, but the impulsiveness did not come true because of Tanjiro's resolute refusal to accept it.

Helped to pack the dishes and chopsticks of his last and only lunch here into the kitchen, and Ling still left the only short knife on his body behind the courtyard.

"It seems a little blunt... You can find someone to sharpen it in the town below the mountain. This knife is still very handy."

When Tanjiro took the dagger, his hand sank completely unexpectedly, and he had never touched the hilt. He looked at Zero with a firm expression, so he didn't refuse again, but he still said helplessly: "I, I I don't know swordsmanship."

"I think you will." Zero said ecstatically, looking at the scar on his forehead and the flower earrings.

Tanjiro: "...This is really not possible."

Maybe there is a kind of trouble that others think you should be proficient in a certain skill. Tanjirou doesn't mind that Zero seems to be looking at someone else through himself. He stands there generously, waiting for Zero to turn around Come on.

"Don't ask me how I know, Kagura, the god of fire. The Kagura dance passed down in your family is actually a dance evolved from a certain kind of swordsmanship that has reached the extreme." Zero Yu earnestly asked, "Even if you It is not a genius who can become a master of swordsmanship by picking up a knife, there must always be strength to protect you and your family."

Tanjiro was shocked when he heard it, thinking about what his father showed in the last period of time, he nodded thoughtfully.

"In that case, then I should go back to town early while the time is still early."

Tanjirou agreed, saying goodbye before, no one expected so many things to happen when we met by chance, and he didn't know if the question he asked was appropriate: "You have repeatedly told us to pay attention to the evening... And now, what are you worried about?"

My innocent younger brothers and sisters muttered together and came to the conclusion that it was a young man who didn't seem to care about anything. His little secret was that he was afraid of the dark. Mom and Nezuko listened to it. It's hard to laugh or cry, but he feels that there is a deep meaning in it.

However, what Tanjiro didn't expect was that Zero Dafang, who had already turned around, spread his hands, that smile seemed to have heard the discussion, so Tanjiro felt a little embarrassed: "Well, I'm afraid of the dark."

"Uh, you heard it all..."

"Well—is there any?"

The elongated tone was full of joy, and Zero finally waved Tanjiro, and his back gradually disappeared into the deep forest.

Inexplicably, Tanjiro felt that he had already given the answer.

Who wants to walk in the dark night if it is not necessary?

After Tanjiro returned home, Mrs. Aoizhi saw the short knife in his hand at a glance, as if she remembered something she pulled Tanjiro who was a little dazed: "Isn't it safe nearby? Could it be that there are robbers ?”

Kantanjiro thought about it for a while, and shook his head: "I don't seem to have heard of this situation in the town, and there is no strange smell coming from the mountains... Maybe you are thinking too much?"

"Well, I hope so." Mrs. Aoie still nodded worriedly, she was still holding Tanjiro's hand, looking at the distant mountain ridge in a daze.

Magnificent layers of sunlight are scattered under the thin and misty clouds, and the light and shadow are changing rapidly.

"Don't worry, after the snow stops, I will go to the mountain over there to visit Ichiro and Muichiro's younger brothers, and bring them charcoal fire and New Year's vegetables by the way."

It was clear at a glance what his mother was worried about, and Tanjiro wrapped his mother's hands with his backhand in relief, expressing his same considerations very responsibly.

He said a reason that sounded reasonable: "Who told me that I am the oldest one in our generation? Don't you often say that our family needs to take care of them?"

Mrs. Kuizhi looked at her eldest son, but she still didn't choose to express the slight worry that she still had: "Be careful of the snow on the road, go early and return early, you understand?"

Without feeling impatient in the slightest, Tanjirou listened carefully to the words that all mothers in the world would inevitably babble about.

"I know, I will definitely be more careful."

When he came, he left empty-handed, and when he left, he brought a package of dried vegetables that were probably made of green Bianhua flowers. Ling first went back to the blacksmith shop in the town and painstakingly made the best knife in the village. The hotel took my little luggage.

He didn't know where Hei Si Mou was now, and the news that Miss Zhushi and Yushirou escaped unscathed after he blocked him that night did not reach the ears of Onimai Tsuji. Here, Zero now has no choice but to hurry up and do the most important thing right now.

Hiring a carriage and sitting in the carriage, Zero's eyes never left the package in front of him. There was no one around but the coachman driving the running horses. He also thought about many things.

In fact, he never thought that he would be able to find clues about the blue Bana flower this time. The sudden discovery should not bring him any surprises. In fact, Zero really didn't know what to do now.

Really, obviously the most painful decision has already been passed, why is this thing suddenly delivered to the door when it is still close to the door?

Zero looked at the medicinal materials lying there with almost no original form in the package. Sometimes people's thoughts turned over like flipping through a book. impulse.

The closer it is to Tokyo, the easier the road will be. The driving carriage will not feel much bumps, and the sunny weather outside the window is just right.

Rubbing his forehead, he still carefully put away the spread package. The Ichimatsu-patterned fabric is the same as Tanjiro's haori.

No matter what, I should try the package in my hand first to see if it is the blue Bana flower.

Just how to do it?

The idea is there, but the contradiction with the reality is that Ling realizes that he does not have the ability to analyze it one, two, three, four. It may be this idea that when the book is used, Fang Hate is less. After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly planned it simply and crudely. research plan.

And when the carriage came to the next town to stop for a while, Ling suddenly changed his mind and paid the agreed price, and stopped before reaching the town with the train to Tokyo.

The quiet town looked normal at first glance, but Zero realized that there might be a ghost hiding in the town.

Ah, of course he doesn't have Tanjiro's good nose or got any news in advance. In this case, you only need to bring a pair of eyes good at spotting details to notice that there are two crows circling in the sky.

If you can't analyze the data of herbal medicines, then you can directly conduct biological experiments. If you can find the experimental mice he needs directly by using the intelligence system of the ghost killing team, then there is only one problem left.

We were about to walk to the cloth curtain door of the restaurant, seeing the two-color haori under the half-covered partition, and the two sitting side by side obediently waiting for the food to be served, Zero really wanted to ask a question.

Could it be that all his luck has been spent on finding flowers recently...

That's why he was here, and he met Kaitu Yiyong unexpectedly?
