Sente Eiji's Black Friday

【"Become a ghost."】

【"Huh? What are you talking about in your sleep? Let me become a ghost, it is better to kill me directly."】

【"Then I will kill you directly! As long as you inject my blood before all your cells die, you will definitely become a ghost! Then you can stay by my side forever!!"】

【"Hey, it's still like this—do you think I'll say that? Heh, I expected you to be unscrupulous, so you took poison after Yan Sheng broke into the house."】

【"……What did you say?"】

【"While I'm talking to you, I'm afraid all the cells in my body are about to die. In a dozen seconds, I'll die completely... Cough cough, it's a pity, I've already made an appointment with Yuanyi ..."]

【“…”】

【"Why this expression? Haha, you don't want to eat me, do you? That's not okay, you know my level of medicine, if you eat my corpse, I can't guarantee what you will become... ...Maybe, you will become the human being you despise the most? Ah ha ha ha—”】

The voice that looked like me but not like me stopped abruptly.

The last scene is a scene of a long-haired man with blue veins who can't see his face clearly, waving his hands furiously.

I opened my eyes suddenly, sat up with a "huh", and caught the crow that kept pecking my forehead.

"Gah-"

The cry of the crow was stuck in my throat, and I realized it all at once, and quickly let go of it: "Ah, I'm sorry Xiaoshi, are you okay?"

"Quack, quack!"

The crow, which I named "Xiao Shi", coughed a few times in a human way, flapped its wings and flew to the beam, looking down at me with its head poking around: "Nightmare, are you alright?"

"Well, I'm already awake, so I'm fine." My tone returned to my usual relaxed tone, and I stood up and stretched my waist, "It's just that I hate Gui Wu Tsuji even more, and I want to chop him up and down every day. The kind that is soaked in the poison of wisteria."

Xiao Shi tilted his head to look at me, and quickly let go of this, and flew to the window: "Zhuhe meeting! Zhuhe meeting!"

That's right, today is the day of the Pillars Meeting.

I packed myself up and meditated on the porch while waiting for the hidden troops to pick me up.

In the Ghost Killing Squad, the address of the master and the address of Forging Dao Village are kept absolutely secret. Even Zhu with a high status must cover his eyes, and several people will take turns carrying them on their backs under the leadership of many crows. .

I am the same today.

It didn't take long before the door of my new home was knocked.A Yin who was fully wrapped up and down saw me and knelt deeply when he saw me, and said in a very respectful tone: "Excuse me, Master Shuizhu! Please let me take you to the first location!"

"Oh! Please!"

I let him cover my eyes, and said with a smile: "But don't be so unfamiliar, just call me by my name!"

"Directly, by name...then, Master Hu Die?"

"Haha, there are three brothers and sisters in my family, and the younger sisters are all planning to join the Ghost Killing Squad, so it's hard to tell them apart if you call them that!"

"I, I see, Master Eiji!"

"Yeah, that's good! By the way, everyone in Yin can call me that too! Only when the titles are shortened can the relationship between people be shortened!"

"Ah...you are really a..."

"Ah? What did you say?"

"No, nothing!!"

"I see. Speaking of which, what's your name?"

"Sub-subordinate Goto!"

"Yo Nishi Goto, let's go!"

"OK!!"

——Goto and I became friends.

He was so excited that he almost fainted. When we parted, he kept bowing to me, his exposed ears were red, and there were tears in his eyes.

Ah ha ha, so cute.I know that the hidden army is composed of people whose family members were murdered by ghosts or who simply want to help eliminate ghosts, but they have no talent for swordsmen. Although I guess that such people will pin their emotions on the soldiers, I especially look forward to being like A strong swordsman like Zhu... But this is too exaggerated.

It seems that I have to work harder than now to kill ghosts.

With this in mind, I became friends with Yin who carried me all the way, and then happily led by the last Yin to the home of the master.

In the elegant courtyard surrounded by wisterias, I saw Mr. Beimingyu who had already arrived one step ahead, and immediately walked over happily to say hello to him.

Mr. Beimingyu was also very happy to see me. He first congratulated me on becoming Zhu, then told me some things like Zhu's responsibilities, and finally asked about Kanae and Shinobu's recent situation.

I told him about the success and determination of my two younger sisters. After hearing this, the kind-hearted man was very moved, but at the same time he was very distressed. While clasping his hands and reciting the Buddha's name, he shed tears again for them.

Just then, when the Lord arrives.

Together with other pillars, I knelt on one knee facing the large room in front of me, and listened quietly to the opening of the paper door with my head down, and the slightly stagnant footsteps approached slowly.

Poor health... This has long been expected.Judging from the sound of walking, he might be too weak to even swing the knife ten times.

I heard that the leader named Yaozai is only 16 years old this year, but according to my usual observations, his various arrangements are mature and experienced, full of long-term vision and careful consideration, it is hard to imagine that those who are only older than me A boy who is one year older can think of it.

Therefore, from the day I learned of the date of the Zhuhe meeting, I was secretly looking forward to what this wise young man would say to me, a newly promoted Shuizhu——

"Thank you for coming, my lovely children."

……Eh?

A wonderfully warm voice interrupted my contemplation.

At that moment, as if something warmed my whole body, the protagonist in it was a man with dazzling blond hair and a smile so warm that it made people want to cry.

I opened my eyes wide in a daze, and couldn't help looking up at the person who was gradually stepping into the sunlight, and at first sight I saw the snow-white feather weaving dotted with flame patterns on his body.

Water...gate...my lord?

"……Um?"

The young master suddenly uttered a surprised tone.His light purple eyes full of warmth stared at me intently, showing an extremely gentle and worried smile: "What's the matter, Eiji? Is there something wrong?"

"...Yes?" I responded to him dully in a daze, and after a few seconds, I was vaguely aware of the sights from all around and what the Lord said.

I subconsciously raised my hand to touch my cheek, only to realize that tears were streaming down my face at some point.

Ah... look at me, I just heard a familiar voice, and suddenly I became sentimental.

"It's nothing, my lord." I wiped away my tears a few times, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just that your voice and demeanor remind me...I think of my father who was at home in the past."

Although Minato-sama is young, he can also be called his father... After all, apart from such random thoughts, I have always cared about him more than I cared about my father.

"Is that so..." My lord heard this, his originally bright face was stained with more sincere sorrow than mine, and even a trace of pity.

I looked at his painful eyes that seemed to understand everything, and suddenly realized almost in shock that he probably knew my experience by heart, so he could think of it immediately after I said "I remembered my father". I had already lost my adoptive parents, and then I showed such a sad expression.

This person can actually empathize with others to such an extent.

Is this only true for important players like Zhu, or is it true for every player who joins the team?

Did he really treat every team member as his own child as the rumors said?

"Although I must not be compared with Lingfu, but Eiji." When I was in a daze again and again abnormally, the lord lord had already spoken softly again.

His clean and deep voice came to my ears like a warm spring breeze, and I couldn't help but feel the heat in my eyes, "I already have my own child, so I still understand how it feels to be a father. So I will do my best , caring about you, worrying about you, looking forward to you like a real father."

When he said this, he bent his eyes, showing an expression of incomparable tolerance and warmth, full of parental love: "I hope you can also regard the Ghost Slayer Squad as your new home, and guard the children for me like a big brother. "

"Because a pillar is a pillar when there is something to support it—isn't it?"

——If there is something that needs to be supported, a pillar is a pillar.

I looked up at the young man motionlessly, repeating this sentence in my heart.

Then, with a completely different state of mind than when he first came here, he bowed his head deeply to him.

"I see, [My Lord]."

I agree with you, my lord.

From today onwards, you are [Hokage] in my heart.I will follow your wish and protect the Demon Slayer Squad as [the most cherished thing].

After I got to know each other, including Mr. Beimingyu, this Zhuhe meeting is over.

When my lord was about to leave first, I stood up and said something that had been brewing in my heart for a long time: "My lord, please forgive me if it's not the one in the corner of your eye..."

I paused, and focused my gaze on the "thing" lying on the boy's left temple, "...is it a curse?"

The lord turned around in surprise: "Well, it's a curse. Can you see it?"

The other pillars all looked at me, and the only one who knew that my house used to be a medical center, Mr. Bei Mingyu, said excitedly: "Ying Er, do you have any way to heal my lord?"

"Well, you have to see this to know." I said with a smile, turning my eyes away from the hot eyes, looking at the clear light purple eyes of the lord, "But I do know the way to exorcise the curse." After a little research, allow me to see you if you wish."

"Exorcism?" The lord repeated the word curiously, his slightly widened eyes made him seem to have a sense of innocence in line with his age.

"Well, exorcising." I nodded with crooked eyebrows.

"Ah...Eiji is indeed a very knowledgeable child."

The lord, who seemed to realize that I was very professional, also smiled. He politely asked me to wait a moment, then turned around and went to the inner room to give some instructions, and then walked back quickly, inviting me in with an amiable attitude.

The other pillars originally wanted to stay and wait for the results of my consultation, but the current ghost killing team didn't have all the nine pillars at all. Before leaving, Qian reminded and told me to write a letter to tell them the result, so as not to worry about my lord.

Of course I have nothing to answer.

After seeing off my colleagues, I followed my lord to the inner room of the daily life of the Ubuyashiki family.In a Japanese room for entertaining guests, I saw a very beautiful white-haired woman with a sacred aura. After seeing me, she showed me a quiet and gentle smile like snow.

"This is my nephew Tianyin." The Lord Master introduced.

I immediately realized who he was going to order just now—I'm afraid he told his wife that there was a guest coming, so let her prepare.

This Mrs. Tianyin is gentle and virtuous at first glance. Sure enough, the frail Hokage-sama can't handle a wife who is too aggressive--Of course, I am not saying that Master Kushina is not virtuous, she is just very...uh, very Just lively hahaha.

After meeting with Mrs. Tianyin, considering that the new Shuizhu will be very busy with work, and the lord's illness cannot be diagnosed and treated by ordinary methods, I bowed my head and said something impolite, and went directly to observe the poisonous sideburns of the young man. Sores come.

In fact, there is no need to get so close, I just thought that after directly telling what I saw, the lord will be disgusted—it is definitely not to take the opportunity to get close to the weak and delicate boy, absolutely not.

"cough."

After a little distraction, I pretended to be serious and gave a fake cough, and looked at the "thing" with a burning gaze.

——it was a fat and bloated, black curse spirit covered with fur like a caterpillar.

No, rather than fluff, it would be more appropriate to say the rotting limbs of countless humans.

...It's disgusting, and it's even more disgusting when you look at it closely. The lord, who is as beautiful as the breeze and the moon, does not exist in the same dimension.

I glanced at the face of the lord who didn't notice, and couldn't help feeling full of affection for this boy who was only one year older than me.

"It really is a curse."

After I figured out what was going on with this curse, I stepped back a bit, hesitated a bit, and still lowered my head and spoke the truth directly.

"I'm afraid it was transformed by the resentment of countless dead people over thousands of years, and it's not just ordinary dead people, it's more like they experienced unimaginable fear and pain before they died..."

After I just said this sentence, Madam Tianyin's complexion suddenly turned pale, and even my lord was greatly mourned.

I paused, then continued to lower my eyes and said: "The head of the curse is buried in your body, it will continue to suck your vitality to grow itself, and eventually cover your whole body... With all due respect, I am afraid that before the age of 25, You will be corroded by the poison of the curse...weaken and die in agony."

"—Is there no solution?" Without waiting for the lord to speak, Madam Tianyin clenched her hands, leaned forward and asked me in a mournful voice.

The lord turned to look at her, showing a helpless and somewhat apologetic smile.

He patted the back of his wife's hand comfortingly, then turned back to look at me, his eyes were relieved and open, with only a trace of imperceptible sadness.

I guess, he should have understood and accepted his destiny from his parents very early on, because the curse was obviously inherited along with bloodlines—the evidence is that a long tail protruded from the end of the bug curse spirit. The line connects the shadow under the boy.

That thread gave me a very bad feeling. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to eliminate. It should be related to the cause and effect of thousands of years.

Well... Looking at it this way, it's obvious how this curse came about.

"It's because of Onimai Tsuji Mumi." I didn't answer Mrs. Tianyin's words directly, but asked a little abruptly, "Is there any blood connection between the Ubuyashiki clan and Onimui Tsuji? Otherwise, this curse It is impossible to be so strong, and it has something to do with blood inheritance."

This time, even the Lord Master showed a look of surprise.

"You are really an amazing child." He quickly breathed a sigh of relief, showing an emotional smile, "Not only are you talented in swordsmanship and medicine, but you also have incredible abilities and knowledge, with keen eyesight and brains intelligent……"

By saying this, he is acquiescing to my guess, right?And this compliment is too embarrassing, hahaha...

"No, no, no, I'm not as good as you said." I scratched my head with a smile, seized the gap when the atmosphere became cheerful, and said in a relaxed tone: "But I do have a way to get rid of you. the curse?"

The air in the room suddenly froze, and then, before Mrs. Tianyin got excited, the lord said half-jokingly: "Is this your dream? —— Defeat Gui Wu Tsuji Wumi?"

I also smiled, and I was not surprised that he could tell my dream-every team member will write a suicide note when he joins the team, and the leader of the Ghost Killing Team will keep it on his behalf, and there is nothing else in my letter. Write, only wrote a sentence "I want to kill Onimai Tsuji no misanthropy".

Suicide notes are not my style, wouldn't it be good to kill Wu Mi and live happily with my sisters?Why think ahead about a tragic ending?

Eiji-sama, I am very confident in myself for the third week, after all I am so strong, handsome and talented——wait, why the third week?I only dreamed of the week when I was a daimyo?

...Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things.

"You are right, defeating Wumi is indeed the final solution I want to talk about."

When I came back to my senses, I first admitted this frankly, then looked up at the young couple in front of me, and smiled brightly at them: "But even if I don't defeat him, I still have a way to make you live easily By the age of 30—"

"Is this true?!" Before I could finish speaking, Mrs. Tianyin who had given up hope interrupted me excitedly.

My lord shook her hand, but he couldn't hide his surprise. He looked at me with light purple tender eyes: "Can you do it, Eiji?"

"Of course." I replied confidently, and raised my hand to condense the faint blue mantra, "Although [I] is the farthest away from the era, other memories have begun to come in one after another recently. Even if The exorcising method is not good, and I still have the big killer of the reversal technique!"

The protagonist couple: "...?"

Being stared at with doubts, I froze, and waved my hand to dissipate the spell: "Oh, I started talking nonsense as soon as I got carried away, hahaha... Anyway, it's not too late, let's start now, my lord, Let it grow bigger, the more life force you will be devoured."

"I'll listen to you." My lord nodded without hesitation.

Madam Tianyin also had a serious look on the side: "What do we need to do?"

"If possible, I hope Lord Tianyin can find a room that is as closed as possible for my lord and me, prepare hot water and towels in it, and set up a cordon away from the room, so that no one can get close."

I said with a calm expression, and calmly met the surprised eyes of Madam Tianyin and Lord Master.

"This curse is special. It is surrounded by a terrifying amount of ominous evil energy, and stubbornly buried its head in the body of the Lord. The process of exorcising it will be extremely painful, and there will be danger of harming others. If there is a day If Lord Yin or others are present, I may not be able to take care of your safety as I am focused on extermination, so..."

"...So that's how it is." Madam Tianyin's expression was painful for a moment, and then she became firm again, "I understand, then Master Yaozai will entrust you, Mister Yinger."

"Don't worry, I will do my best—"

"Then what about you?" The lord who had been silent since just now asked suddenly.

I was taken aback: "...Really?"

Under my gaze, the surprised expression turned into worry and hesitation at some point. The young man looked at me for a while, seeing that I was always in a daze, he couldn't help but sighed softly in distress.

"You only said to make us worry about others, so what about you who is closest to me?——You are also flesh and blood, if the curse that tortured me turns around and entangles you, then I would rather not exorcise it .”

"Lord Yaozai..." Mrs. Tianyin called him in a murmur, and also became hesitant.

I was silent for a while.

This silence seemed to make the lord think that there was no way for me to avoid what he said from happening, which made this young man who had always been as gentle as water frown, and even seemed a little angry.

But he quickly stretched his brows, and after a silent sigh, he said to me in a tone that was so gentle that it almost made people feel sad:

"I'm not irreplaceable, Eiji. Compared with me, a kid like you with great strength is the real valuable strength of the Demon Slayer Squad. You've only been a water jet for a short time, I hope you can—"

"I'm very sorry, my lord, but I have to interrupt you."

I, who had been listening with my head down, suddenly bent down and interrupted the boy's words in a salute.

I could feel the lord stopped and looked at me with tolerant eyes.

Ah... what a gentle and great man.

Obviously he himself is only a half-grown boy.

I sighed in my heart, straightened up again, pulled out the sun wheel knife from my waist, and placed it between myself and him respectfully.

"I already understand what you mean. Since you are worried about the safety of your subordinates, please allow me to swear with my beloved knife--in the process of removing the curse for you, I will always pay attention to my safety. Once If there is anything wrong with the situation, we will immediately stop extermination and retreat beyond the safety line—is this okay?"

Face my sincere and sincere request.

The lord, who still seemed to have some concerns, was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a deep sigh, and said in a harsh tone for the first time: "Don't break your promise."

Don't break your word.

……So cute.

I smiled silently, then restrained my smile and nodded seriously.

At this time, I actually have a lot of things I want to tell you. For example, it should be the first time I have heard such things as "curses have entities" and "curses can be exorcised", but the Ubayashiki couple believed it without hesitation. I am also willing to let me, a 15-year-old boy who has only worked in his own small medical clinic, be the chief doctor of the precious ghost killing team...

But what I want to say most at this moment is actually - I am not exaggerating.

This curse caused by Oni Wu Tsuji is exactly as I said, dangerous, vicious, hard to get rid of, and easy to bring harm to others.

After all, although I usually seem to be out of tune, and I like to run the train with my mouth full of words (such as coughing and coughing at beautiful boys who are about to move), I have always been very reliable when it comes to business.

What I said is true, huh?Really really?You must not doubt the motives of the great Eiji-sama, you know?

——So, in the process of exorcising the curse, it is naturally true that you will feel unimaginable pain.

In the dark room, Hu Dieying'er's face was as calm as stagnant water, and his black eyes were staring at the black worm's curse that had penetrated into his skin, without any wavering or soft-heartedness inside.

Even though the teenager he was treating was curled up in his arms in pain, his whole body was twitching and shaking like a convulsion, his teeth clenched on the towel oozing miserable blood, his whole body was drenched as if he had been fished out of hot water, His five fingers with magic power were still as stable as a rock, pinching the body of the magic spirit insect and pulling it outward bit by bit.

"Please be patient for a while, my lord."

——At most, from time to time, it's not like consolation at all like the last time.

The curse spirit caught by him struggled frantically, and even the countless fluffs transformed from carrion on his body were shaking wildly, but he couldn't do anything to this powerful conjurer at all.

So it can only produce a terrifying amount of black-purple miasma, which corrodes all the furniture, walls, and tatami in the room, and hovers under the ceiling into dark clouds.

But neither the miasma nor the dark clouds could hurt the two people in the middle of the room in the slightest.

A thick layer of mantra covered them all around, blocking all damage.

The worm's head was about to be completely pulled out of the boy's body, and it seemed to know what was waiting for it after being pulled out, so it struggled even harder.

Of course, the pain felt by Yoya Ubuyashiki became more intense because of this.

He fainted and woke up several times, every inch of his body trembling with severe pain.Too intense pain brought a sense of near-death, and made him see clearly that the sore on his temples was actually an extremely ugly black bug. It struggled and attacked frantically, and sprayed out pitch-black poisonous gas from its pores, but it was crystal clear. The blue aura blocked everything.

Hu Dieying'er was protecting him.

As soon as this thought came up, the liquid, whether it was sweat or tears, suddenly blurred his vision.Yuya Ubuyashiki's slender fingers clenched the clothes of this incomparably reliable boy, and buried his head deeply in the warm and fragrant embrace of his water column.

He hugged him tightly, like hugging his only salvation.
