I am wholehearted with Jotaro

106

Not long after saying goodbye to Asuka Ikiji, I heard the familiar sound of fighting again.

The sound of the sword slicing across the tentacles sounds very cruel, but if it is compared with the quietness before, it is quite comforting.

Feeling back to the human world, I dragged Jotaro and ran two quick steps at night. Jotaro has always been very easy on such small things. Because of this, the two of us quickly entered the area named Life Institute.

107

The tentacle is still the same tentacle, the difference from before is that this time there are so many people shuttling through it, people can't help but wonder if the visitors from the parallel world brought an army this time.

Boys and girls wearing all kinds of feathers over black uniforms shuttle back and forth between the demon pillars. Most of them I don't know - I can even say that I have never seen them.

But it is not without impression.

At least I know their uniforms, people who I've met a few times in a world that I really don't want to recall, and I can't even call them familiar.

——Ghost Killing Squad.

108

Shiny's sage king form and Enkidu are also among them, I have always doubted whether the instruction 'only stand on high places' is engraved in Shiny's DNA, so no matter where he is, he can quickly Find the highest place on the ground, and then occupy the place, standing at the apex in the geographical sense.

I know, don't ask this kind of question.

Ask because it is the king.

109

In short, in this piece of shadow mixed with the shining golden treasure light and the sword-light tentacles of Enkidu's chains, I took a deep breath, and then I held my head and prepared to scurry away.

After all, walking among a group of strangers, especially when they are still on the front line of the battle with the Demon God, it’s too much to pray that they don’t just chop the Demon God’s pillar for one reason or another without affecting me, so I might as well wear it with my own eyes. Let's go through this battlefield.

That's what I thought.

But just when I was about to find out the best route with Jotaro, suddenly a boy next to me borrowed strength from the Demon God Pillar and jumped to my side. Then he moved his nose and said to me in surprise, "Miss Fujimaru! You have also turned back into a human! Congratulations!"

Since I'm a human, I can't get it at all, so there's nothing to congratulate, but it's a reward to know that the smell of the heroic spirit is human, so I smiled politely and replied, "Thank you, Tanjirou? "

110

The boy smiled and said in surprise, "You still remember my name! I'm so happy!"

Then he quickly looked at Jotaro, completely different from the relaxed attitude when facing me, put his hand on the sword seriously, bowed slightly to Jotaro, and said loudly, "Mr. Kujo!"

111

I seriously doubt that you determine attitude by combat power.

And I have proof.

112

In other words, our conversation was peaceful.

Tanjiro walked beside the two of us, pulling out his sword from time to time to cut off the tentacles of one or two Demon God Pillars, or to block the flashing light cannons that spread over, or to block the aftermath of his companion's moves. In short, he looked at ease the whole time .

The flow of time in their world is very slow. It is said that less than ten days have passed since I left. Gui Wu Tsuji has already confirmed that it is really a dog leash, because all the ghosts that have been transformed by him have changed, either After death, the miracle of turning from a ghost back to a human seems to have happened in a short time.

But the impact didn't end there.

All the cannibal ghosts face the same problem they had to face after they turned back into humans: almost all the ghosts have been cannibals, even their closest relatives.

During the period of becoming a ghost, their thinking makes them simply understand it as a relationship of predators, so there is not much emotional fluctuation. Even after regaining consciousness, the pain and despair are only temporary. Most ghosts Both accepted their new forms well, and relied on cannibalism to enhance themselves.

And when they became human again, those emotions seemed to be brought back together.

Guilt, pain, and despair overwhelm them.

According to incomplete statistics, hundreds of corpses were found within ten days of those who committed suicide alone.

113

Tanjiro smiled bitterly, then frowned and said helplessly, "It seems that the Demon Slayer Squad won't be disbanded for a while—we still have something to do."

I nodded, then glanced behind him, and asked, "Is your sister Nezuko okay?"

Tanjiro laughed at the mention of his sister, and then said very happily, "Nezuko has never eaten human beings, so she recovered very well, almost fully recovered as a human being when she woke up that day!"

Jotaro nodded.

Tanjiro continued, "We know that Onimai Tsuji's death must have been possible because of the hard work of Mr. Kujo and Ms. Tatsuka, so it's time for us to repay you two!"

"The ghost killing team is currently serving 310 people! After learning that the two need help, they all come here except the backup staff!"

114

I didn't know what to say for a while.

I don't know most of them, and neither does Jotaro.

To us or to them, we are nothing but complete strangers.

But at this moment, these strange teenagers and girls—the oldest of them is probably not even 30 years old—they are rushing to our battlefield because of our past actions.

And those actions are nothing more than our efforts to serve our own goals.

I couldn't help but say to Tanjiro, "Actually...we did that mainly for ourselves, it's not worth your life to come here."

115

Tanjiro shook his head with a smile, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

"All members here came here voluntarily," he said. "We didn't force anyone—but everyone wants to help you, Mr. Kujo and Miss Tachika."

I have a feeling of what I can do.

I saw a blond boy hiding behind Tanjiro suddenly knocked him on the head, and then complained, "Tanjiro! Don't say that! This puts a lot of pressure on others!"

Tanjiro was unmoved, turned his head with no temper at all, and asked, "Huh?"

The boy named Zenji glanced at me, then quickly glanced at Jotaro, and said in a low voice, "Actually, everyone joined the Demon Slayer Squad with a hatred for ghosts, and the destruction of ghosts is everyone's hope—so For those of you who killed Onimai Tsuji and Kamizuru, they will be willing to help!"

"But I'm not! I'm only here because Tanjirou and the others are here—I don't want to be underestimated by Nezuko..."

he said quietly.

116

Tanjiro nodded casually and said to me, "Yes, that's it!"

Then he quickly turned his head to Zenji, "Don't think of Nezuko!"

117

It can be seen that this is the way they get along with each other, so I didn't say much. As they walked forward together, I was caught in the middle. As a Beast whose combat power is not low, Tanjiro and Zenji are on the left. On the right is Jotaro, who dealt with all the incoming attacks with ease, leaving me with nothing to do but speed up my pace silently.

The exit is not very far.

I don't know if it's because it's small or something else.

In short, we quickly walked near the exit.

The white steps symbolizing the road were looming in the tentacles of the Demon Pillar, Tanjiro stopped and said to us, "I guess I can only get here, the person who brought us said we can't leave this area-- People with only a short-term fate can only help here! I am very sorry!"

His tone was so solemn that I couldn't help jumping up. I quickly bowed and replied loudly, "No, no, no! Thank you for coming to help!"

My attitude was probably too sincere. Anyway, Tanjiro bowed deeply after listening, and then replied loudly, "No! I still want to thank you for killing Mumai Tsuji!"

Shocked, I wanted to express my thanks again, and Jotaro lifted me onto my shoulders and walked up the front steps.

118

Being carried doesn't stop me from speaking, but it stops me from bowing.

So I can only continue to shout to Tanjiro, "Anyway, thank you--it is obviously a battlefield that has nothing to do with you, but you are willing to help, I am so grateful--"

And Tanjiro shouted back with a louder voice than me, "This is not a battlefield that has nothing to do with us-this is a battle of gratitude! And I heard that this is a battle about the end of the world-you must Come on! Mr. Kujo! Miss Tachika!"

I waved him my hand and replied loudly, "I'll—"

So he also desperately waved to me, expressing the meaning of goodbye, and then his voice resounded throughout the Temple of Time, shouting.

"I wish you two martial arts prosperity—"

119

We continued to go up, and soon Tanjirou and his figures were also hidden by the tentacles of the Demon God Pillar and disappeared.

I propped myself on Jotaro's shoulders, changing from being carried to a sitting position, and then I found that he used this position to hug Xu Lun before.

I thought I was not on the same level as my daughter, and I patted him on the shoulder, motioning for him to put me down so that I could walk by myself, and said with emotion, "Seeing them, I suddenly felt that everything I did was quite meaningful. ...it's that sense of meaning to someone you don't know...it's kind of subtle."

Jotaro didn't answer me, nor did he put me down.

He was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked me, "Lixiang, did you ever feel that this journey was too painful for you to continue?"

120

I can't believe this is what Jotaro would ask.

But my answer is definitely yes.

I hugged his neck and answered him, "No! Everyone is by my side!"

"Besides, Jotaro has been with me all the time, so I don't feel pain!"

"Even if nothing else happens, just because of meeting you, I feel happy enough."

I heard my own voice.

I heard myself answering his question in this way.

I know I'm laughing.

I also know that this is still going on.
