Sente Eiji's Black Friday

Immortal Kawa Minami's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He shook the washed vegetables, then put them into the vegetable basket, staring down at the falling drops of water.

Hu Die Kanae didn't urge him either, but just focused on the frying pan in her hand.

Finally, as if he had sorted out his thoughts, Undead Kawa Minami said in a flat tone: "I won't say it."

"Why?" Hu Die Kanae didn't express the slightest surprise when he said such words directly, her voice was still soft, "Afraid of everyone's eyes? Just want to focus on hunting ghosts? Or are you afraid that your elder brother will hate you?"

"...He hates me enough now." Immortal Kawasami twitched the corners of her mouth, turned her head and glanced at the courtyard of Butterfly House through the window.

A certain hopeless idiot sister-in-law was cutting hydrangeas while looking this way frequently, the vigilance and fierceness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The reason why I don’t want to express my feelings.”

Undead Kawa Miniya reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and then fell silent.

Xing Nahui turned off the fire, and said softly in a sudden silence: "There is something I have to apologize to Mr. Undead River...Before, because I saw some misunderstandings between you and my brother, I made my own decision to tell my brother Your Excellency inquired about your mother. I am very sorry."

"Oh." Undead Kawa Minya did not give any special reaction, "If you inquire, you will inquire, it is just a fact, there is nothing you can't say."

"Then." Kanae turned to look at him, her expression tinged with a touch of sadness, "Is Mr. Undead Chuan resenting your elder brother?"

"Huh?" Undead Kawa Minami frowned, and denied without thinking: "No, I never hated him."

It wasn't Hu Dieying'er's fault that his mother became a ghost. Although that person had a bad attitude at the time, his actions undoubtedly relieved his mother and saved him and Xuan Mi in a disguised form. How could he resent him?Rather—

"It must be that guy's attitude towards me has been unpredictable." The white-haired young man snorted, but his mood sank imperceptibly.

Having said that, he doesn't intend to keep hiding it anymore.Maybe it's because Hu Dieying'er's sister has a warm and caring atmosphere like a mother, or maybe it's because he has been alone for a long time. In short, these words buried deep in his heart came out unconsciously.

"I admit that that guy is indeed very powerful, no... I should say that I have never seen anyone who is more powerful than him. But his attitude towards me is completely moody. When he is good, he is gentle and reliable, but the next second Immediately he became indifferent, no matter what I did, he couldn't satisfy him, and instead he would oppose me and reprimand me."

"Yesterday I had a big fight with me because I was fighting with my own thin blood. Earlier, in order to prevent me from participating in the final selection, I had my arm removed; The requirements that can be fulfilled, no matter whether I do or not, I will ridicule or encourage them according to my heart, and there is no certainty at all... There are countless inexplicable things like this."

"Sometimes I feel that he made me his stepson because of guilt and treats me so well, and sometimes I feel that he simply lacks something to play with."

The white-haired boy said this in a low voice, raised his hand to lift his bangs in boredom, and sighed with one hand on his hip.

"I can't figure out what that guy is thinking at all, and what does he think of me. What is I to him? I guess it can't be nothing, but it doesn't matter. Heh..."

Hu Die Kanae always listened quietly.

She stared at Shiya quietly with those eyes with drooping corners that were born with some compassion, until Shiya stopped talking, and turned her head away unnaturally because she confided her heart, then said in a low and soft voice: "Mr. Undead Chuan, what a dull person."

"Ah?" Undead Kawa Minami immediately raised his eyebrows in displeasure, "Are you making fun of me?"

Kanae shook her head gently, then sighed: "My brother is too... I have never seen him so clumsy."

"...What do you mean?" Undead Kawa Minami frowned even tighter.

The long-haired girl stared at him with her unique, watch-like gentle gaze, and said in a calm and tolerant tone: "I think, Mr. Brother, he may... no, he definitely doesn't know how to get along with Mr. Undead Chuan, right?" .”

"……what?"

"It's true. After all, among all the people he saved, only Mr. Undead Chuan is the most special."

The most, special...?

Undead Kawa Miniya's heart skipped a beat, and he was stunned for a while with a blank expression.

Seeing this, Kanae showed a helpless and somewhat sad smile.

"Brother, whenever he meets a person who couldn't be saved because he didn't catch up, or a person who couldn't stop turning into a ghost because he was a step late, his attitude towards the survivors will suddenly change. Cold and nasty."

She suddenly brought up another topic, but this seemingly abrupt topic made Undead Kawa Minami's eyelids twitch, and she reflexively recalled Eiji Hu Die from "That Night".

He couldn't help clenching his palms: "...why?"

"Maybe it's because he wants them to hate him." Kanae softly said the heavy words.

"Suffering great changes all of a sudden, the vast majority of people will be devastated. It is extremely difficult to find new hope and recover. People with a tough heart like Mr. Fushikawa are a minority after all, and most people will be hit and lose their lives. courage."

"In this case, it is much easier to live out of hatred than to live with renewed courage."

The girl said, looking at Minya with soft eyes full of understanding: "Isn't that the case with Mr. Fushikawa? It's just that your hatred is more intensely transferred to the ghost."

Shimi was silent.

Seeing this, Kanae smiled, walked a few steps away from him, and came to the window to stare at the blue-haired boy in the courtyard.

That person stood in the sunshine, and people passing by greeted him from time to time, and his smile to everyone was so optimistic and dazzling, as if there was no haze in his heart.

But is this really the case?

Hu Die Kanae thought of this, and could hardly control the sadness overflowing from her heart.

"Mr. Bushichuan, do you know why I asked my elder brother to cut the hydrangeas?"

The girl by the window suddenly spoke in a trance and softly as if in a dream.

Undead Kawa Minami followed her gaze and looked at the young man in the courtyard. Hearing the words, he replied a little strangely: "Is it for your mother?" He remembered what the girl seemed to have said just now.

Kanae was quiet for a while: "...Mother has passed away."

Undead Kawa Miniya was taken aback.

"It was with our father... two years ago, he was killed by a ghost at home."

The girl's quiet voice exploded in Immortal Kawasami's ears like thunder on the ground.

His pupils narrowed suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the girl in horror, opened his mouth, and let out a stagnant voice that was almost in tune: "...what?"

The blue-haired boy's bright, almost innocent smile suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Immortal Kawasami's eyes slowly widened to the maximum, and he could hardly believe his ears.

Seeing Hu Dieyingji's smile, no one would believe that his parents died tragically because of ghosts.

He always looks so sunny, so happy, carefree and even a little silly, so Shi Ya has always believed that his parents must be alive, the family is happy, and he has never experienced any pain or misfortune.

Because, this is the only way to explain why he was so indifferent that night, isn't it...?

--and many more.

A long memory suddenly came to mind, the pupils of Immortal Kawasami trembled slightly, and the words that he had howled angrily, or at least howled in his heart, echoed involuntarily in his ears——

【"What's my mood? How can a guy like you who can kill other people's mother understand without hesitation?! A guy like you who has never experienced loss at first sight, what do you know about us?!"】

【"I am so endlessly angry at ghosts, I want to hate every one of them. How can a guy like you who can allow his sister to kill ghosts understand?! And in the final analysis, if it wasn't You killed my mother—”]

……what.

What have I done.

Undead Kawa Minami stood in the same place with a frozen body, and at that moment it was like falling into an ice cave.

And just when his heart was already swallowed by regret, Hu Die Chanahui spoke softly again: "Brother, he... failed to save our parents."

That was another sentence that shocked Immortal Kawasami: "What... mean?"

Kanae smiled bitterly: "At that time, only my parents, me and Shinobu were at home. Mr. Beimingyu rescued our sisters, but our parents died tragically at home. At that time, my elder brother went out to buy raw medicine. When he came back the next day, The family was bleeding like a river, my father and mother died in a miserable state, and Ren and I were nowhere to be found..."

A choked sob escaped from the girl's throat.She raised her hand to cover her eyes under the gaze of Undead Kawasami as if her soul was out of her body, and her lips trembled unconsciously: "I still can't imagine how desperate, how angry, and how angry my brother must have been at that time." What a... hate."

"Hate the evil ghost that harmed people, and even more hate myself who didn't come back."

At this point, perhaps the person who confides his heart has been replaced by a girl who has always seemed mature and sensible.

She covered her tear-filled eyes, and in this corner that only the two of them knew, she sobbed and slowly uttered the words of worry and guilt that had been tormenting her.

"That's why Mr. Undead Chuan, my elder brother, his hatred for ghosts may be higher than you. But his hatred for himself is probably a hundred times and a thousand times higher than that."

"Looking at the current elder brother, I always feel that he is not the real him, because the real him may have died that night. Since that day, he has been wearing that warm smile like a mask, encouraging everyone As a human being, I turned the regret of not being able to save my parents into strength and protected everyone."

"He hopes that Shinobu and I can live well, and that everyone around us can live well, but he can't protect himself, but he doesn't want himself to live."

"I sometimes think that the reason why he is so indifferent to the people whose relatives were killed and wants to be hated by them is because if he is hated by others, he will feel better in his heart-carrying the burden of 'not being able to protect' ', that might be his own punishment."

"Mr. Undead Chuan, do you know? ——In the heart of my elder brother, all lives that cannot be protected are [sins] that he has to bear."

"Sin...sin..." Undead Kawa Minami repeated dryly, and she didn't know what expression to put on.

He only knew that his fingertips were already as cold as a dead person. He was obviously breathing normally, but he felt a tightness in his chest.

There was a sense of suffocation caused by pain, entangled him like maggots attached to the bone.

He couldn't help but think, if "failure to protect" is a sin to Hu Dieyinger, then in that fool's heart, is his mother's death also his sin?Is it also his sin to have a bad life and get injured because of killing ghosts?

...Where did this super invincible idiot come from...!

As if the sun dispelled the fog, everything that was previously incomprehensible became clear.But what followed was the bitterness and heartache that made Shimi's throat blocked and his eyes sore.

He felt the pain in the back of his tongue, and he had the urge to grab that person by the collar and growl at him, but the more urge was to punch himself hard, so that he could wake up and see clearly that the man who had spared no effort Who is the one who treats himself well, tolerates himself, and teaches himself, and who is that bastard who has always been ignorant of good and evil, and complains.

So stupid, Immortal Kawamiya, you are so stupid.

A hundred times, a thousand times stupider than Hu Dieyinger.

"...Mr. Immortal Chuan? Are you okay?"

The girl's worried voice came to her ears, and Kawa Minami clenched her fists and bit her lower lip, and shook her head vigorously without saying a word.

Seeing this, Kanae sighed, and said with a little apology: "I didn't say this to argue for my elder brother, after all, his attitude towards Mr. Undead Chuan is really unpredictable..."

"No." This time Immortal Kawasami interrupted her before she finished speaking, her voice was hoarse and deep, and even her eyes were slightly red, "He was not wrong, it was me who was wrong."

"How could there be nothing wrong? If you don't say what you think in your heart, it won't work."

Kanae smiled helplessly, she raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said softly: "I just want to let Mr. Undead Chuan understand that my brother will be so strict with you, and that he will be so angry when he sees you hurt. reason."

"It's not that he is uncertain, it's just that he is overprotective out of guilt, and he doesn't know how to express his feelings. Please forgive my clumsy brother."

"I know." Immortal Kawa Minami said in a hoarse voice, recalling his attitude towards Eiji before, he was almost ashamed and even had a fever on his face, "I already know everything."

"That's right." The girl smiled in relief, her beautiful face was extremely touching, "Then I can rest assured. Also, in this way, do you still insist on not expressing your heart to your elder brother?"

"I..." Immortal Kawasami hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

I don't know when the window was blocked by someone.

Undead Kawa Miniya had a premonition that something bad was going to happen in his heart, and he turned his head almost instinctively.

At some point, the blue-haired boy who stood by the window pressed his face tightly against the glass, and was staring at him with a ferocious face and eyes that were about to tear apart.

Seeing him looking over in astonishment and bewilderment, the young man showed a sinister grin filled with black air, raised his hand and slowly pulled out the knife.

"Nishuchi, Immortal Kawasami!!"
