Sente Eiji's Black Friday

A unique pursuit unfolded between Lord Shuizhu and his stepson.

The irrational Mr. Shuizhu chased and killed his stepson with a knife for more than an hour. During the period, the sword was full of murderous intent, and the people who were working and recuperating in Butterfly House were so frightened that they huddled in the room and did not dare to go out, quietly listening to the news outside. Jump up and down.

"I already told you that Shaoxiao misses Kanae, you bastard!! How dare you make her cry, you deserve death!! Take my life!!"

"I said that I misunderstood you bastard—stupid, stupid! Besides, that woman took the initiative to find me!!"

"Stop rambling!! My Kanae is doing the right thing! It's your fault! It's all your fault!! Nishinai——!"

"Huh?! You give me just enough—"

"I am going to kill you--!!"

"..."

The trembling people in the room couldn't help but look at Hu Die Kanae in unison.

The long-haired girl who has always been calm and composed, as if the noise outside did not exist, noticed it, and turned her head with a smile: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Everyone: "...No, nothing."

Hu Die Kanae-sama, so, so scary...

Just at this moment, a figure billowing in smoke and dust came running quickly outside the house, saw Hu Die Chanae from the window, and yelled at her: "Hey! Girl—Hu Die! You also have to say a few words to your idiot brother! Said that things were not what he thought at all!"

"Ah, Mr. Undead, did the chase game between you and your brother take a break?"

Hu Die Kanae raised a gentle and bright smile, as if there were lilies blooming behind her, "The relationship is so good, please continue to work hard, and take this opportunity to clear up all misunderstandings!"

"Huh?! What chasing game, didn't you see that he was serious about killing me?!——Speaking of his state of being inattentive, how do you ask me to explain to him——"

"Immortal Kawa Minya—!!"

"Ahhhhhh!!"

Master Shuizhu and his stepson ran away again.

Kanae, who was in an inexplicable mood, chuckled a few times, and left the ward under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone.

"Sister!" Hu Dieren immediately chased after her, tugging at her sleeves in the corridor and said in confusion, "What did you and Mr. Bushichuan say? You can't really have anything to do with him, can you?"

She doesn't think that Immortal Kawasami is the type that her sister would like. Their way of getting along is obviously siblings... er, mother and son?

In short, her brother, the idiot who would be alert when he saw a male creature approaching them, couldn't see the way in it.

Kanae couldn't help laughing when she heard what her sister said: "Look, I just said that Nii-sama is clumsy in this regard, and Shinobu can clearly see it."

"Then why didn't sister clarify?" Shinobu tilted his head in doubt.

"Because it's not me who should talk to my brother now." Kanae raised her hand and rubbed her head, squinting her eyes and smiling, "—but I haven't been able to find the right way to talk to my brother. Get along with Mr. Undead Chuan."

"Getting along with my brother...? What do you mean?"

"Well~ If only I can seize this opportunity, learn to communicate with my sama, and convey my feelings to my sama smoothly~"

"……Eh?"

Hu Die was taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds, she finally realized something from her sister's inexplicable and loving aunt's smile, and immediately widened her eyes in disbelief, "Huh——?!"

Immortal Kawa Miniya likes her brother? !

...This kind of thing is too absurd!man and man?What a joke! !As a younger sister, she won't allow it! !

The little hot pepper sister controlled by the brother immediately exploded: "Then why did you create opportunities for them, sister! Shouldn't you be strict with Mr. Undead Chuan at this time?!"

"Well, well, it doesn't matter if you don't use that, right? The relationship between Mr. Fushikawa and Nii-sama is obviously very good!"

"What's so good! Aren't they still chasing and killing?! And Mr. Undead Chuan and his brother are both men, how can a man and a man be together!!"

"Hmm..." Facing her sister's resistance, Hu Die Kanae just blinked her eyes and smiled again, and raised her fist with a smile in a "come on" gesture, "But Mr. Fushikawa is very gentle and very handsome Yeah? There's nothing wrong with that!"

Hu Dieren's forehead popped blue veins: "This has nothing to do with what I said!!"

"That's it." Kanae, who usually teased her younger sister, put down her hand with a smile, and turned her head to look at the two teenagers who had stopped outside at some point, her eyes gradually becoming warm and moist.

"However, Mr. Undead Chuan, whose mother turned into a ghost, was cut under the sword by the elder brother, must be a very special existence in the heart of the elder brother. I always hope that someone who understands the elder brother will accompany him and help him. To share the burden that he is unwilling to share with us... In that case, won't my brother be able to relax a bit?"

If even Mr. Undead Chuan, who must have hated him so much in the heart of the elder brother, can treat the elder brother tenderly, will that person be able to relax a little and no longer regard himself as a sinner?

"This..." Hu Die was stunned after hearing these words.

"As long as there is an opportunity, I believe that my brother's heart will bloom again." Kanae turned to look at her, showing a gentle and sad smile, "Because among us, those who need redemption the most have always been It's my elder brother."

In the quiet corner of the courtyard, I grabbed Shimi by the collar fiercely, and with a smirk, I pushed the panting boy against the tree.

"Heh heh heh, kid, isn't that enough physical exercise? I'm tired in less than two hours, that's not okay."

I said "Boom" and stuck the knife in his ear, and said with murderous intent: "Is there anything else you want to say before you die? I will give you ten seconds, and you can start explaining your crimes." .”

"Crime..." The corners of my little white-haired stepson's mouth twitched, he raised his eyes and looked at me helplessly and speechlessly, with some sweat dripping from his temples.

He only stared at me for a few seconds, his eyes began to dodge strangely, the tips of his ears turned red silently, and his body, which was tense because of the knife I stuck next to his head, also subconsciously softened.

Um?what happened?

I lifted him up suspiciously: "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Can't you see I'm angry?Is it really okay to be so relaxed?

Shimi didn't move and let me carry him. Hearing this, he didn't make any drastic moves, but pursed his lips silently.

To be honest, this alone is abnormal enough. Usually, this guy with such a strong personality dislikes the posture of being controlled by others the most, but this time he not only did not open my hand as rudely as before, but even gave me a strange look. look at me.

The eyes were inexplicably focused, and there was a subtle light in the eyes, as if he had finally seen Mrs. Eiji's perfect and dazzling personality, so he couldn't move his eyes away at all, but it was inexplicably sad, as if he wanted to look at me carefully, but Ashamed to meet my eyes for unknown reasons.

ashamed?

I almost laughed at the thought that came to me out of the blue.

What is Shiya ashamed of?He has nothing to say sorry to me.

……and many more.

The scene of the white-haired boy blushing in embarrassment under the gaze of the girl suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. I felt that the reason I had finally regained suddenly had the urge to collapse again, and I looked at this little white-haired boy in disbelief.

——Maybe this guy really has something to say sorry to me! !

"I was almost fooled by you, brat!!" I approached him suddenly with a terrifying face, and met his eyes with wide eyes in his terrified reaction, "What did you say to Kanae just now in the kitchen? ?”

Shimi's pupils shrunk and then dilated, and was forced by my aura to subconsciously take a step back, a little flustered and stopped talking: "No... I didn't say anything."

"I didn't say anything, why are you blushing?!" I stepped forward without hesitation, and pressed him tightly against the tree trunk.

Shimi's face turned red suddenly - I guess he was angry, because his skin was very fair, and it could be clearly seen that his face was much redder than in the kitchen just now. Isn't this short-tempered kid so angry It's impossible to blush like this - but I won't let him go just because he's angry!Brother's anger is terrible! !

Angrily, I continued to stare at Xiao Baimao at close range, and watched him clenched his teeth as if he couldn't bear it anymore, blushing and shouting angrily: "I told you I wasn't blushing because of her! You don't have long ears—— You, you listen to what others say!"

"It's not because of her blushing?" I stared at him suspiciously, "Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm blushing because——!!" Shi Mi hurriedly blurted out, choked up, and looked away under my gaze in embarrassment, "It's, it's not because of her!"

Very suspicious.

I guess these words came out brightly in my eyes, because Shi Mi looked almost exasperated: "Don't be so stubborn! Although that girl—you, your sister is very beautiful, but I Don't like her!!"

"Hey—?" I finally felt more comfortable with what I said, raised my eyebrows and straightened up, "It's rare that you can talk well today, Shiya. Then why did she cry just now?"

As I walked away, Shimi was visibly relieved, and her embarrassing face became normal, even though her face was still flushed.

After hearing my question, he paused for a moment, looked up at my expression first, and then replied in a low voice with some hesitation: "... She said that the flowers you cut are for your mother."

My fingertips trembled slightly.

...I see, is it because I thought of my mother?

As if the breath that had been accumulated in my chest dissipated without a sound, I was silent for a while without saying a word, and then I lowered my eyes and let him go.

"I see." I said in a calm voice, turned around and prepared to leave, "It's okay, you can go to work—"

A hand suddenly grabbed my wrist.

I was taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at Shi Ya who took the initiative to hold me.

For some reason, there was still a bit of annoyance on his face. Seeing me looking over, he restrained his expression, and said fiercely, "You...you..."

He didn't say anything after "you" for a long time, and soon cold sweat broke out on his forehead. I couldn't help laughing when I saw this, and deliberately joked: "What? Did you grab me before you thought about what to say?" ?”

Shimi bit the bullet and stood there awkwardly, as if I had hit the mark.

I can't help but feel amused, and at the same time a little puzzled.

Why is this kid so abnormal today?It would be understandable to say that he felt guilty because he lost his temper with me yesterday, but after talking with Kanae, he seemed to be a different person...

I looked uncertainly at the young man in front of me who was frowning furiously, but whose ears were so red that he was about to bleed, and a thought gradually emerged in my heart——

Shimi seems to have suddenly become so soft?

Once this idea came into being, it was out of control. I looked at Shimi curiously, as if I saw a animal that put away the sharp spines that used to be aimed at me, turned over to reveal its soft belly, and wanted me to touch him with guilt. , but the little hedgehog felt ashamed about it.

——What made him suddenly become like this?Did Kanae really say something to him?

Hmm...but Kanae and Shiya didn't tell me what they meant, so should I just pretend that I didn't find out?After all, no matter how you look at it, what happened to Shiya is a good change.

After spending 0.1 second to figure it out, I, who is extremely smart and considerate, couldn't help smiling, and tentatively said to Shimi: "If you have nothing to do...then I'll change the medicine for the injury on your arm?"

Shimi, who looked embarrassed, nodded and agreed without any hesitation as if she had been pardoned.

Eh, even this is okay?He used to hate bandaging wounds and changing dressings the most!Every time I tore off the bandage early, leaving scars all over my body!

Feeling more and more surprised, I turned around and walked towards the Butterfly House mansion, and Shiya obediently followed behind me, at the same time peeking at me as if I hadn't been noticed.

To be honest, kinda cute.

Could it be that my unlovable stepson has really changed his gender, started to listen to the master's words, and gradually became as cute as Xing Shoulang?

Just as I was thinking about these things in a mess, Shiya who was walking behind me suddenly said: "...Sorry."

"Ah?" I was stunned when I suddenly received an apology, "What? Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Because of... all kinds of things." Shiya turned away from me unnaturally, and said very inexplicable words.

A huge question mark appeared in my head, and I tried to follow the train of thought of the previous conversation, thinking that he might be apologizing to me for what happened yesterday?

Haha, what he said yesterday was a bit hurtful. After all, I was concerned about him, but not only did he not appreciate it, but he even yelled at me.

But I also understand that the reason why he hates ghosts so intensely, wants to kill them even at the expense of self-mutilation, and becomes rude and irritable once he is blocked - all these are because I failed to save his mother at the beginning, The seeds of hatred were planted in his heart.

So I don't blame him.Everyone has been hurt by ghosts, and if they hurt each other, it will be endless. The only thing I need to do is to try my best to protect him, and at the same time kill Ghost Mai Tsuji as soon as possible.

Only in that way can everyone be happy.

and so--

"It's okay, I don't care at all."

I grinned my signature sunny smile and raised my hand to pat the boy on the shoulder.The never-before-seen peaceful atmosphere with my white-haired stepson made me feel more relaxed, and I subconsciously said something I had never said to him before:

"Shimi has done a good job, not just yesterday, you have been working hard and talented from the past until now. I am too demanding of you, and I am too impatient, because if Shimi If you don't get stronger quickly..."

I paused for a moment, and forced a slightly imperceptible smile, "... Forget it, it's nothing."

If he doesn't become stronger quickly, Minya, who is thin-blooded, will be killed by ghosts soon, right?At that time, how should I explain to his mother?

My desire to protect Shimi, his younger brother, and younger sisters is stronger than that of everyone else, and it is basically equal to the desire to protect my lord.

——The reason is very simple, the lord is the "Hokage" of the Demon Slayer Squad, so no matter what happens, I will protect him first, and the Minami brothers and sisters are because I bear the sin of "failure to protect" .

Well, but it's enough for me to understand this kind of thing alone, there's no need to tell them.

Even if I will be complained by them, I will protect them in my own way. For example, no matter how painful it is, I will remove the curse for the lord. Train Minya like a devil.

I do it all the time, and never intend to tell them, and of course it will be the same this time.

However, just when I was thinking about these thoughts in my head and saying "Forget it, it's nothing" to prevaricate Shiya, the white-haired boy looked at me and showed... like anger, and more like sadness. eyes.

"I said you..." He frowned and said a few words, then swallowed the rest of the words with his lips pursed, then took two quick steps and grabbed me, and under my surprised gaze, he hugged me sullenly waist.

"...Shimi?"

I was stunned for a while before calling out his name softly, with my hands hanging on his back in a daze, not knowing whether I should hug him back or not.

"Fool."

The boy who was half a head shorter than me made a muffled sound in my arms.

He used to call me "bastard" and called me "bastard" when he was angry, but today he seems to have changed his gender, and for most of the day when we were together, it was just so indifferent... He even scolded me a little bit affectionately and helplessly.

When I lost my mind at the wrong time, the arms around me slowly tightened, and the hoarse voice of the young man came from below again: "If you don't say anything, who knows what's on your mind...so There are only so many misunderstandings between me and you, you know, idiot."

I blinked my eyes, slowly and tentatively put my hand on his back, and said in a very soft voice: "What are you talking about? Master Eiji, I am famous for being straightforward and forthright."

Mimi sneered disdainfully, but I noticed his ears that gradually turned red in his hair after I hugged him back.

……what?

A wonderful conjecture appeared in my mind without warning.

I slowly opened my eyes wide, and my mood floated up like soap bubbles, and I couldn't help but whispered in the boy's ear like a whisper: "Hey, Shiya——"

"You don't like me, do you?"

"..."

Shimi hugged my arm tightly.

This reaction made me get the answer at once, and I couldn't help showing a light and proud smile on my lips: "Really? Really like me? Hey, do you really like me?"

Perhaps because I heard that there was no disgust in my voice, Minami looked up at me in surprise, and I stared back with a smile on my face.

That made Shimi's already big eyes even wider, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you willing?"

"I am willing." I laughed out loud at once, and at the same time hugged him completely reassuringly, "I don't know why, I am quite fond of white hair like Shimi, it's okay to try to get along with him, right? ?—and Minya’s character is also very cute.”

"Huh?!" Shimi, who was still in disbelief a second ago, immediately frowned, showing a strange and disapproving look, "I'm a man, what is cute—"

"It doesn't matter, I just think it's cute!"

I interrupted him directly with a smile, and then stopped dwelling on this topic, and started to inquire about other things: "When did Shimi fall in love with me? How long has it been? Why?—Tell me all of these Well!"

"..."

Faced with my teasing, the white-haired boy blushed first, then gradually corrected his complexion, let go of me and raised his eyes to look at me seriously: "Are you really willing to promise me?"

Without hesitation, I affirmed with a smile: "Yes."

Shimi stared at me intently, for a long time, he didn't know what he saw, and slowly lowered his eyes and sighed.

"I didn't intend to tell you."

He pondered for a while, and said in a low voice.

"People who will embark on the blood-stained road in the future should not think about these children's love at all, and they are not qualified to pursue the happiness of ordinary people-I have always thought so. And you don't know the situation of my family Well, my father was a hopeless gambler who was stabbed to death by a vengeful man, and my mother turned into a ghost again and killed her own child..."

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on my clothes, and bloodshot eyes slowly crept up.

"As for what kind of person I am, you must be very clear. I am not as powerful as you, and I might die soon after joining the Ghost Killing Squad, not to mention my bad temper and rude behavior. I used to treat you I said a lot of things..."

"You are very good, you are the best person I have ever seen since I was born, so even if I treated you like that before, you are willing to promise me. But I was born in such a family and have such a character, I am really qualified to stand Are you by my side? Am I really capable of making you happy?"

"...So, you'd better... reconsider."

The boy's hoarse and trembling voice echoed in my ears.

I watched him quietly, slightly surprised by what he said, but at the same time took it for granted.

The boy in front of me is my stepson, of course I know him well enough to know that although he looks rough and fierce, his nature is more delicate and soft than anyone else.

From his words, it can be seen that he has seriously examined his own intentions, and thought about it carefully for a long time, and even the original result was "not going to say it".

Even if I pointed it out, he still chose to reveal his concerns and shortcomings, and repeatedly gave me the right to choose.

...What a gentle child.As expected of the person I fancy!

"Well, I've thought about it carefully." I said in a soft voice, and when Shimi suddenly looked up at me, I leaned down and kissed his lips lightly.

"My Shinya is the gentlest person in the world."

"So, I'd still like to be with you."
