Butterfly Chanae returned to Butterfly House at noon the next day.

She came back alone, with a kind of emotion on her face that Xiaosaki could not understand, probably called "sadness".Xiaosaki had seen similar emotions on the faces of many believers who came to Tong Mo to confess, but Tong Mo never asked them why they had such emotions.He always imitated those people, made the same weeping expression, looked at those people with colorful eyes full of tears, and said: How miserable.

Xiaosaki once asked Tong Mo what kind of things are tragic and what kind of people are pitiful. At that time, Tong Mo tilted his head and thought about it for a long time before telling her that it would be difficult for people to show such an expression. The thing is tragic, and the man who looks like that is pitiful.

"But why do you have such an expression?"

It wasn't just crying. In fact, most of the people who showed sad expressions didn't really cry. They seemed to be wearing a mask of numbness, and on top of that, there seemed to be a huge pressure that seemed to be suffocating. The sorrow overflowed from the depths of the soul.

"Probably because of the pain." Tong Mo gave an inconclusive answer.He couldn't give a more definite answer, because he didn't know what the answer was.

"But why do people feel pain?"

When Xiaosaki questioned like this, Tong Mo fell into a long silence. He rested his chin on one hand, his smile hung on his face like a mask, and the white tips of his teeth were warmed by the candlelight. .He looked at Xiaosaki and thought for a long time: "Why..."

"Maybe it's because you can't get what you want, or you lost something you like? Most of the things they told me were like this."

Tong Mo replied according to what he saw.

"Will it be painful to lose something you like?" Xiaosaki asked again: "Will I do it too?"

Probably because he never thought that Xiaosaki's question would suddenly point to this point, Tong Mo was really taken aback.But he didn't intend to deceive Xiaosaki, so he replied truthfully: "I don't know."

"Eh?"

"Because only I can feel this kind of thing most directly, so I don't know if Xiaosaki will become painful." Tong Mo stretched out his hand resting on his cheek to the little girl's cheek. Tap lightly on it.Even without using force, the sharp nails still easily left a red mark on the little guy's skin, causing the child to scream out in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did it hurt you?" A little playfully, Tong Mo bypassed his nails, and touched the reddish skin with his cold fingertips instead.

"It's really fragile, but only you, Xiaosaki, can feel this kind of feeling. Pain and pain should be similar things—so, if Xiaosaki feels pain, you must tell me, so I can Then you can know."

"Then I will find a way to relieve Xiaosaki's pain, so that Xiaosaki can smile happily all the time."

"Like This."

Although I don't quite understand what Tong Mo's thinking is all about, Xiaosaki grinned happily after hearing his assurance: "I remember, if one day I feel pain, I will definitely I will talk to Master Tong Mo."

"But I might not encounter such a thing at all, because my favorite is Master Tong Mo. No matter how I think about it, I can't imagine a day when I lose Master Tong Mo. You, Master Tong Mo, will always be by your side. By my side, aren't you?"

When recalling those things, Kosaki could not help biting her lips lightly.She didn't know what kind of expression she was showing at the moment, but she felt that the expression on her face must be different from Butterfly Kanae.

She doesn't feel pain, rather, she is really not qualified to feel pain after being taken care of by so many people.Even if Tong Mo is not by her side now, Xiaosaki doesn't feel that it is lost at all - she will return to that person's side, only this matter is taken for granted in her common sense.

But she couldn't mention such things in front of Sister Butterfly.

Because Butterfly Chanae showed such a sad expression because the swordsman who walked with her the night before, the man who waved the Japanese sword in his hand at Tong Mo died.

When Butterfly Chanae rushed back, everything was over.There were still traces of fighting on the tree, but there was no one standing there.Be it the ghost holding the fan, or the little human boy whom she hadn't had time to rescue before, they all disappeared. The only thing left in the middle of the battlefield was the cold body of the man lying across the scattered branches.

"That ghost is very strong. Even if I'm there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do better, but, but..."

Butterfly Kanae clenched her fists.

It is very painful to watch her companion die, and parting is a very painful thing, and all these pains were brought to her by Tong Mo.

"sorry."

Kosaki gently pulled up Kanae's cuff, cautiously, as if trying to comfort her.But being too young, she couldn't think of what to say for a while, so she had to repeat the words of apology again and again.

Apologizing for the people she loved the most for hurting them, for hiding something so important from them, for the decisions and choices she made—

"It's not you who should apologize, it's not your fault. Even senior, I must hope that you can be saved." Butterfly Kanae said.

Yes, he must also hope that ordinary people like her can be saved.Because normal human beings will show fear of ghosts, normal human beings will want to live.

But she is different, only she is different.

She is a child raised by ghosts, and the most important person to her is the source of pain for others.

Kosaki didn't say anything else, but went back to her room silently.She seemed to finally understand that there are irreconcilable contradictions in this world, just like the contradiction between the ghosts and the ghost killing team, they are destined to fight to the death.

She can't make friends with both sides at the same time, being caught between humans and ghosts, she has to make a unique and definite choice.

And the choice she will make is self-evident.

It is impossible for her to stay in the Butterfly House, the Eternal Bliss Cult, that is the place she should go back to, and that is her home.

So she had to get out of here, quietly, out of this place that didn't belong to her.

"Have you really made such a choice?"

When Xiaosaki made up her mind about her future path, a familiar voice came from behind her.She turned around suddenly, and saw the young man in black kimono standing at the head of the bed, staring at her with a pair of water-like blue eyes.

The sky light shines through the window, casting a long shadow in front of him, Yato's face is devoid of the usual laughter, it can be said that there is almost no expression on that face.He just looked at her calmly and without any waves.

"Night Fight."

Kosaki raised her face, and looked back into the eyes of that god-sama.

"Long time no see."

In fact, compared to the time the two spent together, the days apart were not too long, but many things happened during these times, so that when they met again, the atmosphere between the two was completely different.

"Master Tong Mo said that you did something bad."

Yato's voice is rare and serious: "He is not the evil that I must drive away, and I have no right to change the cause and effect in the world without authorization, but he suspected that I took you away. When he was fighting with me, he was killed by ghosts. The Killing Team has discovered the whereabouts."

"So the Eternal Bliss Sect was forced to move to another place."

"So that's how it is." Kosaki nodded, "So Yato didn't mean to trouble Mr. Tong Mo on purpose."

"He's a ghost." After a moment of hesitation, Yato said.

"I know." Kosaki raised her lips, "I heard about it from sister Kanae."

Yetou lowered his head slightly, and his face was completely shrouded in the shadow of that side: "There are all kinds of causes and effects in the world. As a god, naturally you should not act rashly, otherwise you will also be involved in the cause and effect. I accept Only after people burn incense and money, will they run around for others, and doing so will not easily mess up the cause and effect in this world."

"I can also listen to your wish. This is what I said before. I can do anything, even if you want to cut off the relationship with that man and live like an ordinary person, I can do it."

"Wish?" Xiaosaki tilted her head slightly to one side: "Then I want Yato to send me back to Lord Tongmo!"

The expected answer.

Even so, Yato seemed to sigh softly, and then he forced a smile on his face.

"So--"

"I did hear your wish."
