I live longer than the incomparable

【Half a day ago】

Butterfly Shinobu, who took the time to go back to the Ubuyashiki mansion after completing the task, was left behind for a while while visiting the lord.

Yuya Mibuyashiki said to her: "There is one thing, I want to ask you for help."

Accompanied by the deterioration of the disease, not only the skin ulceration from the forehead, but also the visual ability of the eyes is also weakening day by day. Up to now, Yoya Ubuyashiki is almost completely blind.

And this also means...he is about to usher in the untimely death of the Ubuyashiki family.

Oni Mai Tsuji, who brought the curse on them, is still alive, and is still making new oni.

Not only Yauya Ubayashiki, every head of Ubayashiki wanted to eradicate Onimai Tsuji Mumi, but none of them achieved this goal.

But just a few days ago, from the letter sent by the eight hundred bhikkhunis, she mentioned [Gimai Tsuji's tragic death].

The Ubuyashiki family and the rest of the Ghost Slayer Squad have been waiting for this ending for too long.

Ubuyashiki Yoya used his only weak eyesight to see her letter saying "The boy wearing the sun pattern flower earrings will end all curses." 】

And that boy's name is Kamado Tanjiro.

She named the boy to bring "her child Inosuke" back to the Ghost Killing Squad, but at the same time predicted the loss of Inosuke's memory.

[This is a good thing, Miyashiki-sama.I hope you can keep it a secret and don't tell him the truth for the time being. The so-called fate is just like this. When the time is right, he will definitely think of everything. 】

Yuya Ubuyashiki complied with the instructions in the letter, and gave Butterfly Shinobu the task of explaining and persuading the other party to join the Demon Slayer Squad.

"But I already have a stepson." Die Die Ren reminded.

Yuya Ubuyashiki smiled: "It's not that I want to accept him as a step-son, I have already asked the crow to send the entrusted letter to Mr. Rinaki, the trainer, and I will also ask Tanjiro to send Inosuke to Rinaki Sagiri Mountain where Mister lives."

He was just a little worried about whether he would be able to do a good job of explaining and persuading because of the warning in the letter from Yabaichuni [Kaomen Tanjiro is an overly honest child].

Butterfly Ninja's intelligence is obvious to all members of the Ghost Killing Squad.

There is no harm in making extra preparations, with this in mind, Yoya Ubuyashiki entrusted Butterfly Shinobu with this task.

Facts have proved that Butterfly's ability to endure open eyes and tell lies is completely different from that of Tanjiro, and Inosuke can only nod in a few words.

"After joining the Ghost Killing Squad, what will you do?"

After being fooled into agreeing to join, Inosuke remembered to ask this question.

"Well..." Butterfly opened her eyes with a smile: "Of course it's killing ghosts."

Inosuke stared blankly at her eyes that seemed out of focus, and repeated, "Kill...ghosts?"

"Ah, don't you know what [Ghost] is?" Die Die endured a look of surprise, and muttered, "Is it because I forgot because of amnesia, or have I never heard of it before?"

Inosuke opened his mouth, but heard Butterfly Shinobi say, "Then let me explain to you."

She put her palms together on her cheeks, bent her fingers slightly, and said in a posture as if she was about to say a little secret: "The so-called [ghost] is a monster that eats humans, and because it eats a lot of people Because of it, there will also be a bloody smell on the body."

After hearing this, Inosuke's eyes widened, but it was not because of what she said [feeding on humans], but because of [the body would smell bloody].

I don't know why, Inosuke always felt that this kind of saying was familiar, but it wasn't because he had heard someone say it before, but...

I have experienced it myself.

When he realized this, Inosuke's face was almost bloodless. Seeing this reaction, Die Ning narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

"But don't be afraid," Butterfly Ninja said softly, "As long as you become a swordsman of the Ghost Slayer Squad and have the ability to fight ghosts, then you will be able to protect yourself."

Although Butterfly Shinobu said this to him, Inosuke didn't agree with her very much, because at a certain moment, Inosuke suddenly felt that having the ability to fight ghosts was not for protecting himself.

[It's to... protect someone else. 】

A vague outline appeared in his mind, probably the face of a woman, the voice of the other party was very gentle, somewhat similar to Butterfly Shinobi, but there was an essential difference - her voice was full of tenderness with affection.

The voice said to him: 【Inosuke...】

Maybe, he thought, that was his name.

——*——

After Inosuke recuperated for a while, Kamado Tanjiro was going to take him to the residence of Rinaki Sakonji.

When he was packing his bags and preparing to go on the road, Kamado Tanjiro had a strange large rectangular box on his back.Inosuke curiously asked him what was inside, but Tanjiro slapped him perfunctorily: "No...it's nothing."

That's what he said in his mouth, but the expression on his face was not the case.

Kamado Tanjiro's expression at this time was almost exactly the same as the expression that Inosuke showed when he just woke up and asked him if he knew him.

Inosuke, who saw something from such a special reaction, also confirmed something in his heart, but he didn't speak directly.

The only thing he can confirm is, 【In the box on Tanjirou's back, there must be a big secret. 】

——*——

Guiwu Tsuji Wucan noticed the change of Eight Hundred Bhikkuni.

She seems to be going out less and less recently.Even sometimes staying in the mansion for several days, the largest range of activities is only from the room to the courtyard.

When Guiwu Tsuji asked the servants, someone told him, [When you are not at home, Madam often sits on the porch to watch the cherry blossoms, and it takes a whole day to see them. 】

Eight Hundred Bhikuni liked cherry blossoms very much, but in the past, she would at least occasionally go shopping and buy something.

Oni Wu Tsuji suddenly thought, maybe Inosuke's death did bring her a big blow.It made the eight hundred bhikkuni, who was not energetic at all, become more and more silent.

But then he thought again, without a child, they have another child.

"Tired," Kibu Tsuji called Tired to him, and the child had already known about Inosuke, so Kibu Tsuji said to him, "Go to her."

Tired for a moment.

In fact, when Lord Onimai Tsuji called over, he thought he was going to be sent back to Natian Spider Mountain again.

Just like the last time, after a few short years of "family" time, it was casually abandoned again.This is not the first time.

But Master Onimai Tsuji's words made him startled.

Tired has always known that compared to herself, her mother loves Inosuke more, and losing Inosuke is a painful blow to her, and she can clearly understand it after thinking for a while.

He just didn't dare to make a sound at this time, he was too tired to think about it——for the mother, seeing him appearing in front of her, would she feel comfort or irony.

But his father told him to let him go to his mother's side.

So Lei raised his face and glanced at Guiwu Tsuji Wuchan, took the coat he took off from him, and then took small steps, quietly came to the verandah where the eight hundred bhikkhunis were sitting.

He stood behind her for a while, and then he seemed to muster up his courage. He put the coat he took from his father when he came out, and put it on her shoulders, and then sat gently beside her.

"Master Mother." Lei called her in a low voice, seeing that she pulled the coat that was draped over her body, but did not remove it after seeing the style of the coat clearly, she knew that there was no conflict between her and Father now.

But my father seemed afraid to come to see her, and even asked him to do things like handing over a coat.

Although this kind of statement is very strange, Lei really thinks so. In his opinion, if it is the unattainable Mr. Onimai Tsuji in his impression, it will definitely not be what it is now.

He changed too much for his mother, and became really like her husband, her tired father.

"En." Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni responded softly, raised his hand to touch Tired's hair, and suddenly asked him, "Do you like your current life?"

Wen Yan looked at her tiredly, as if he didn't know how to answer.

He actually wanted to say that he liked it, but he also thought that his mother had just lost Inosuke. If he said that, it might only make her more sad.

Tired can only keep silent.

Eight hundred bhikkhuni watched him lower his head, his pale cheeks were immature and weak.

The strength of [ghosts] depends on the amount of blood they get from ghost dance Tsuji Mumi and the number of people they eat.

The stronger the ghost, the more humans it eats.

Although Lei looks like a child, it has only been a few decades since he was turned into a ghost by Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi, but being able to become a member of the bottom line is enough to show his strength.

Maybe if it goes on like this, in a few decades or hundreds of years, he may also replace a certain ghost among Shangxian, and maybe become the new Shangxian.

After all... Oni Wu Tsuji's preference for Lei is enough to explain everything.

This is the only existence that, when he appeared in front of Eight Hundred Bhikkuni, instead of being driven away by Guiwu Tsuji Wumi, he would actively accept him.

The eight hundred bhikkhuni recalled that when Onimai Tsuji was a human being, dragging his seriously ill body, he ordered someone to drive an ox cart to drive him to the shrine where she temporarily lived.

The tiredness of being a human may have reminded Onimai Tsuji of himself when he was a human.

So his preference for this child is not so much because he likes children, but because he sees his own shadow in him, so he feels pity in his heart.

Onimai Tsuji's compassion is sometimes very precious and sometimes very cheap.

He seldom really cares about the ghosts of his opponents, but he often blurts out words like "It's so pitiful, let me save you" to various people.

Ghost Dance Tsuji Wumi is like this, uncertain and moody.

Tired's silence was exchanged for Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni's move to embrace him. She put her cheek on the top of Tired's hair and stroked his pale hair.

Her posture is natural and gentle, like the breeze blowing across the face in spring.

Ling stood in the corner of the room, watching what happened on the porch without saying a word, and Gui Wu Tsuji Wumi frowned deeply.
