Tanjiro was awakened by the cold touch on the side of his cheek.

He opened his eyes, and his soft cheeks sank into the warm blanket.Oni's body temperature has always been low, perhaps because of the heat, Tanjiro's face turned slightly red.

"Go-kun?" Tanjiro tilted his head in a daze.

Ghosts don't need sleep, after all, they are nocturnal creatures.

But perhaps because human body heat warmed the soft blanket, Tanjiro also fell into a deep sleep before he knew it.

He fell into a sea of ​​cobalt blue.

"Are you awake?" Gojo Satoru withdrew his hand when he saw the stupefied people staring and waking up.

His fingertips were still stained with crystal drops of water, and a few drops slid down the side of Tanjiro's face and into the quilt.

You can tell at a glance what a good thing someone did just now.

"Get up quickly when you wake up." Tanjiro was still a little confused when he just woke up.

No one would not be greedy for the warmth of the quilt, but Gojo Satoru dug the person out of the quilt without saying a word.

With a little sweet smell lingering at the tip of his nose, Tanjiro took a sniff, and finally regained consciousness slowly.

The dark red ghost pupils stayed behind the white-haired man, Tanjiro touched the cold skin just now, and suddenly felt restless.

'Wu Jun... is he still angry? '

But the smell on the other party seemed to be the same as usual.

"Tanjirou wait for me first."

As if aware of the realization of the ghost boy, Gojo Satoru stopped the movement of his hands and said to Tanjirou without turning his head.

There is no so-called blind spot in the field of vision of the six eyes, even if Gojo Satoru didn't turn his head, he was undoubtedly watching Tanjiro.

"We'll go out later."

"Eh?"

Now it was Tanjirou's turn to be puzzled.

"Do we have anything to do today?"

He turned his gaze slightly, and a bunch of crisp and tender blue color suddenly broke into his eyes on the clean and tidy dining table.

It is the heart of Kagutsuchi.

At some point, Gojo Satoru found a vase, filled it with water and put the blue Bana flowers in it.

'Maybe it's afraid of withering. '

Tanjiro thought so.

But the heart of Kagutu, which is actually a cursed object, will really wither?

"No, Mingming's news hasn't come yet, so there shouldn't be anything we need to do right now."

Not knowing what the white-haired magician was doing on the isolated island, Tanjiro heard him opening and closing the closet door for a while.

"But Tanjirou has other tasks today?"

Gojo Satoru's voice was a little dull through the door.

Ok?

He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the strongest gourd, and the white-haired man didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to explain, so Tanjiro could only obediently wait where he was, observing the tiny particles floating in the air under the sun.

Speaking of which, Wu Jun's attitude has been very strange since yesterday...

Tanjiro's eyes couldn't help falling on Kagutsuchi Shinko who was on the side.

There are still a few drops of water on the edge of the petals of the heart of Kagutsuchi, hanging on it, reflecting the faint colorful light under the sunlight.

Although it looks like a flower on the outside, the heart of Kagu Tsuchi doesn't have the strong fragrance of ordinary flowers. There is only one thing that can't be explained. Instead, it is more like a grass-like smell that spreads slowly, permeates the air, and is so shallow that it almost disappears.

Tanjiro stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the drop of water that was about to fall.

"Tanjiro?" Gojo Satoru came out just at this time.

"what are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Tanjiro withdrew his hand abruptly, and turned his head to look at Gojo Satoru.

Then he froze for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

There is no other reason, Gojo Satoru is really beautiful in this suit.

The strongest conjurer is already very good-looking, and he will be chased by scouts when he takes off his blindfold in the street.He didn't wear an eyepatch on purpose today, instead he found a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses from somewhere, which couldn't block those bright blue eyes at all.

Gojo Satoru didn't wear the usual dark uniform, but instead wore a suit—or so, Tanjiro wasn't sure, and the cuffs and tie were obviously expensive decorations.

"Go-kun?" Tanjirou took a while to react from Gojo Satoru's almost shining shock.

"What are you doing?"

If it is to do some tasks, it is a bit too inappropriate to wear it like this.

"Huh?" But Gojo Satoru deliberately betrayed him.

"My behavior is related to the task I gave Tanjiro today."

"Tanjiro."

"Come on a date with me today."

"Huh? Good." Tanjiro nodded subconsciously.

A moment later, after he was pulled out by Wujo Wu for a long time, the ghost boy realized in a daze what he had promised.

Tanjiro:?

Tanjiro:! !

Gojo Satoru first took him to a flower field.

It may be that this kind of place is remote, or that a certain strongest person has reserved the venue in advance. When the two of them entered, there were no other tourists in the entire flower field.

"so beautiful!"

Tanjiro opened his eyes wide, and his eyes were full of gorgeous colors, layer upon layer, breaking into his eyes like waves.

Although it is not the season of blooming flowers, there are still quite a few flowers blooming, and the two of them are surrounded by piles of noise.

"It's pretty, isn't it?"

Two steps behind Tanjiro, the white-haired man lowered his head, looking at the ghost in front of him who was carefully touching the flower.

Tanjiro seemed to be very careful, even though it was just a light touch, he kept his nails carefully, for fear that the oni's sharp claws would accidentally hurt the delicate petals.

He got very close, and the rich fragrance of flowers scrambled into his mind.It didn't smell bad, but there were so many flowers clustered together that he almost couldn't distinguish the fragrance of each flower.

Red, white, purple... Flowers of various colors are reflected in the crystal eyes like ghost jewels, and finally all melt into such dazzling bright red, and the original colors can no longer be distinguished.

"Tanjirou." Gojo Satoru suddenly called out.

Tanjiro subconsciously turned his head halfway, but what was facing him was the camera that the white-haired man raised at some point.

"Eh?!" The ghost boy didn't even have time to react.

Gojo Gojo seemed to have been prepared and pressed the shutter the moment he raised his head.

The camera faithfully preserves the scene at this moment.

The surprised look on Tanjiro's face has not subsided, and the ghost pupils full of flowers are wide open, staring at the camera without blinking.

The figure of the ghost was almost submerged in the sea of ​​flowers, and Tanjiro's crimson hair almost merged with the same red words behind him.The ghost's skin is paler than that of humans, but it also has a bit of color against the background of the flowers.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Tanjiro is obviously not very used to being photographed.

The moment he noticed the camera, he tensed up all over his body, and he didn't realize that he wanted to snatch the camera until the strongest laughter came from his ear.

"Don't be shy." Gojo Satoru raised his hand, and now Tanjirou couldn't touch the camera at all.

"I still took a good picture, huh?"

He clearly knew why Tanjiro came to snatch it, but he still deliberately teased the boy.

"Go-kun!" Even Tanjirou became a little anxious after being hung on purpose like this.

But when he raised his head and fell into the cobalt blue pupils that occasionally leaked out from behind the sunglasses, the movements of his hands paused and stopped unknowingly.

A bit of blue was reflected in the dark red ghost pupils, and the soft light rippling like water in the six eyes also fell into Tanjiro's eyes.

When Tanjiro heard Gojo Satoru's voice, it was like warm and cool water, flowing along the pinnae, slowly flowing into his blood, and into the bottom of his heart.

"Let me keep this photo, Tanjiro." Sensing the brief hesitation of the ghost boy, Gojo Satoru said slowly.

He watched Tanjiro carefully, his cobalt blue eyes were like a starry sky, like an ocean.

"Just take it as—leave a memorial for me."

Gojo Satoru obviously had other plans this afternoon.

After leaving Hanada, Gojo Satoru took Tanjiro to the aquarium again.

To be honest, Tanjirou actually breathed a sigh of relief——

When he was suddenly pulled back into the car by Baifa Qiangqiang, he thought Gojo Satoru would take him to some incredible place again.

only……

Why an aquarium?

"Tanjiro didn't actually come here properly, did he?"

Holding the hand of the evil spirit beside him, Gojo Satoru slowly followed the flow of people.

The lights above the head were scattered by the water flow, swaying through the layers of water surface, with a bit of hazy blue light sprinkled around.

The not-so-bright illusory light entered the six eyes, and Tanjiro was confused for a while. He couldn't tell whether it was the water that reflected the six eyes, which made the six eyes more clear and blue, or the blue pupils that dyed the light in a psychedelic color. brilliant blue.

"Eh, no." It took a long time for the ghost boy to realize what the man said.

"Didn't I come here with Wu Jun before? In Okinawa..."

"I know."

Gojo Satoru pointed to the opposite side, motioning Tanjiro to look in another direction.

"However, that posture is different from what you see now."

Tanjiro tilted his head.

What's in the aquarium?

On the other side, if it wasn't for the dark walls, there should be countless kinds of fish swimming slowly in the water, and the aquatic plants swaying with the current.

The evil spirit opened his eyes slightly.

——However, apart from the fish swimming leisurely behind the glass, Tanjirou also saw it on the glass.

Less obvious, but clearly visible, is his own reflection.

Gojo Satoru didn't know when he let go of his hand.

The evil spirit unknowingly stood in front of the aquarium. He unknowingly raised his hand and lightly imprinted it on the glass box, and that shallow reflection also touched his palm.

The slightly cool temperature of the sea water passes through the glass, conveying from the palm of the hand to the bottom of the heart little by little.

Tanjiro watched the fish in the box closely.

What he observed was different from what he observed as a ghost ten years ago. The ghost's eyes could allow him to see more things clearly.

He can clearly see the fine water gushing in and out when the gills of each fish are slightly opened and closed without hindrance; he can see the transparent and beautiful appearance of silk as the fins stretch out in the water every time the swimming fish flicks its tail.

He can clearly see the rainbow-like brilliance reflected by the light on the fish scales, which is scattered by the water before it can penetrate; soft lighting.

Tanjirou pressed his palm tightly against the water tank.

He seemed to be able to feel the slight tremor caused by the water hitting the glass.

That is the pulse of life.

"I remember Tanjirou, you told me about the astral body incident."

Gojo Satoru stood behind Tanjirou, and suddenly spoke.

"You told me at that time that you smelled a very, very small smell on Riko Tenouchi."

"That smell lets you know that Riko Amauchi doesn't want to die."

Tanjiro turned his head and looked up at Gojo Satoru silently.

"how about you?"

Five enlightenment questions.

"Have you smelled the smell of not wanting to die?"

"..."

Tanjiro's eyes moved slightly, trying to stop Gojo Satoru from continuing.

But Gojo Satoru didn't give him this chance.

"Although I don't have as good a sense of smell as Tanjiro..."

"But the six eyes can see it."

The white-haired man stretched out his hand to cover the sharp red pupils of the evil ghost.

In the eyes of people who want to die wholeheartedly, there will be no such dazzling and shocking light like an eternal fire.

"We have other ways, don't we?"

Strongest whispered.

Tanjiro didn't respond to him.

Under the eyelids covered by the palms, the eyelashes of the evil spirit trembled slightly, like a fluttering butterfly gently sweeping over the palms.

The temperature and smell of humans came into his mind, and Tanjiro could even feel the strange pulsation of the blood rushing under that palm.

"But, Wu-jun."

After a long time, Tanjiro stretched out his hand and took the man's hand covering his eyes.

"This is the best solution."

He looked at Gojo Satoru.

"What's more, Wu Jun, you once promised me."

Despite this situation, Wujo Satoru didn't need to exterminate him with his own hands.

Of course, Tanjiro understood the other choice that Gojo Satoru said, and he didn't hesitate when he suddenly woke up from Yumenghui in the middle of the night.

However, no one can guarantee whether there will be people who will make their minds on ghost blood in the future, and no one can meet the variables in the future.

Tanjiro's choice is to do it once and for all, and to avoid future troubles.

"Also, Wu-jun, do you still remember what I said, the belief of the Ghost Slayer Squad?"

Tanjiro clenched his fist across his chest with one hand, his eyes were filled with dazzling light.

"'Even if our gods and forms are destroyed, the evil spirits will be wiped out'!"

It was a belief he never forgot.

The next day, Tanjiro sat at the table, quietly looking at the heart of Kagutsuchi who was still green and tender in front of him.

Wutiaowu received the news from Mingming, and rushed out early in the morning, directly attacking the hiding place of Lingsuo.

There still seemed to be a hint of sweet fragrance unique to Shiraigakigi's body in the air, mixed with Kagutsuchi no Shinko's peculiar floral fragrance, forming a smell that Tanjiro had never smelled before.

Gojo Satoru left in a hurry, in case Ronso found something abnormal and slipped away again.

The oni's family seemed to have guessed what Tanjiro wanted to do, panic, pleading, fear... These emotions densely packed the brain along the nerve endings, biting like ants in the blood vessels.

Even though most of the family members may have lost their minds, they still have the instinct to survive and struggle.

'Feel sorry. '

Tanjiro lowered his eyes, and the feeling of guilt quietly spread into the hearts of the family members.

The evil spirit raised his hand and gently stroked his chest.

'I'm sorry for letting you be implicated innocently because of me. '

The ghost king's voice flowed along the blood to the family members.

Some of these transformed family members have not yet hurt anyone, while some have already devoured human flesh.

'I can't wash away the sins of ghosts, nor can I ask innocent people to forgive me. '

'The only thing I can do is to take you and my sins and disappear from this world together. '

Afterwards, the evil spirit stood up and swallowed the heart of Kagutsuchi into his stomach.
