Sente Eiji's Black Friday

The next day, I was woken up by the sound of talking outside the window.

The conversation was very soft, I listened to a few words in a daze, and found that Kanae and Shinobu were saying that Shimi had gone out, and it seemed that it was because they knocked on the door and no one responded.

...Ah, come to think of it, I was probably woken up by their knocking on the door, rather than the sound of conversation.

Ah?How strange, did I sleep so deeply today?

Should I get up and say hello to the two children, and say that I am back... Then I should write to the lord to discuss the time of the Zhuhe meeting...ah, I should also think about what I will say at the meeting...

There were all these messy things in my mind, but until the two girls walked away, I was still lying on the bed.

It's not for any particular reason, it's just that I simply don't want to move.

... There was a gentle breathing sound from the side.

I turned around lightly, and looked at the white-haired young man who was hugging me tightly even in his sleep.

He didn't sleep well, and whenever I moved, he frowned and leaned towards me, his fluffy head rubbing against the warmer nest of my neck, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned.

I put my arms around his waist and brought him into my arms. The feeling of skin-to-skin contact and no gap between each other seemed to make him feel more at ease, and he relaxed his brows and fell asleep again.

...I'm sure I'm tired.

I looked at the thin red around the corners of his eyes that hadn't faded until now, and the exhaustion on his face that couldn't be concealed, and I couldn't help thinking this way.

Obviously it was only the first time, but he kept pushing himself last night, even though he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his fingers, and the muscles on his waist, abdomen and legs were trembling due to excessive fatigue, he still hugged me tightly. Let me go out, I couldn't bear it until the dawn broke, and passed out in my arms.

In that way, no matter how much I give, I will not feel satisfied, and from the beginning to the end, he eagerly accepts all of me, and even eagerly hopes to get more. People can easily feel the strong anxiety buried deep in his heart.

From yesterday to now, he has been tirelessly longing for all my touch, hugging me tightly like a dehydrated fish asking for a kiss, and regardless of the limit he can bear, he desperately opens himself, keeps me, and bites his lip Crying and begging me to stay... as if to feel my presence this way.

...Don't be like this, even I will feel bad.

I consider myself to be the most emotional of all me, so that looking at Shimi now, I can't help but imagine what he will become when I really leave.

Ah, if this goes on like this, I might really...

I couldn't help but tightened my grip on Shimi's waist, smiled wryly, closed my eyes and kissed his forehead.

Ugh.

That day, Shiya slept until the afternoon before waking up.

I stayed by his bed all the time, and when I saw him wake up, I helped him sit up and fed him a glass of water first.

When Shimi got up, he frowned imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything, he just finished drinking the water with my hand, then he breathed a sigh of relief, held my hand and looked out the window: "... What time is it?"

"It's already afternoon." I straightened his slightly messy white hair, with a smile on my lips, "Are you hungry? Kanae said to tell her when you wake up, she has left lunch for you."

The meaning of that sentence made Shimi stunned, and then inevitably felt a little embarrassed, turned her head and muttered with red ears: "...Why didn't you wake me up at noon?"

"Why did I wake you up? I'm not the kind of poor man who makes his lover tired all night and doesn't let him get enough rest."

I couldn't help laughing, raised my hand and pinched his hot earlobe, then slowly slid my fingertips down his cheek, paused on the dotted hickey marks on his neck, and said softly: "However, now It’s really not a good way to go out.”

Shimi's eyes were confused for a second.

Before he could react, a vibrant green light emerged from my fingertips, and I began to erase the marks on his body.

Although it was daytime, the sudden light was still very conspicuous. At least Shimi opened his eyes wide immediately, stepped back reflexively, and stared at my hand in amazement: "What is this?"

"It's a healing ability. Of course, it's not the same as the ability that brought you back to life that night."

I spoke in such a calm tone, looked up at him who was suddenly stunned, and smiled helplessly, "It's hard to believe, right? But what you see now is indeed the truth, and I do possess some incredible abilities."

Shimi stared at me blankly, and after a while, she closed her eyes and sighed softly, leaned over and put her arms around my waist: "You bastard, how many secrets do you have..."

He leaned his head on my shoulder, and said in a complaining and low tone, his warm breath lightly sprinkled on my collarbone.

I continued to eliminate the mottled red marks on his body, and said jokingly, "There are still many more. Will Shimi blame me?"

Shimi was silent for a moment: "...you know I can't."

He tightened his arms, raised his head to look at the side of my neck, and then kissed it lightly. His movements were as cautious as kissing a treasure, which even made people feel that he was a little fragile like that.

He had repeated similar actions countless times last night, so I knew he was kissing my stripes, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"...It is rumored that the swordsmen who used the 'Initiative Breath' in the Warring States Period all had markings."

Knowing that he would definitely not take the initiative to ask, I hesitated, or simply told the whole story, "Shangxianyi used to be one of those swordsmen, and he also had markings on his forehead, so he will know about it."

Shimi was silent for a while, then closed her eyes sadly: "I know. I have already asked the lord."

"..." I couldn't help being dumbfounded.

It turned out that he had already asked Master Yaozai... That's why he knew that the fact that "swordsmen with stripes turned on can't live to be 25 years old" was true, and that's why he was so desperate last night...?

"But, but there is a good side to turning on the stripes, right? You can't always think about the bad side."

I couldn't help squeezing his shoulders, trying to sound optimistic, "I've found a way to get close to Onimai Tsuji, and my strength has become stronger than before, so strong that I can easily kill him! By then we-"

"If I knew that killing that bastard would cost you a short life, then I would rather let him continue to live!!"

Shimi interrupted me suddenly excitedly, her arms tightened suddenly following the words, the strength was so shocking.

He buried his face in my arms to prevent me from seeing his expression, but I could hear his hoarse and trembling voice, desperate and painful as if weeping blood: "Why is it you... only your fate is not It should be like this..."

"If there is only one person in this world who is qualified to be happy, that person must be you, Eiji! But why...why would you...!"

"...Thank you, Shiya."

I was silent for a while, slightly hooked my lips and showed a smile, stopped to comfort him and patted his trembling back, with a brisk and gentle voice: "But I think I am already the happiest person in this world oh."

Shimi choked on her thin shoulders: "Stop lying..."

"It's true, you have to believe me." I smiled helplessly, and looked down at his red eyes, which gradually became as warm as water.

"I am a person who bears a deep sin, Shiya. Did I tell you before? I have memories of my previous life, and I know that I have done many unforgivable things... It can even be said that the reason why Onimai Tsuji became an oni , it’s all because of me in my previous life.”

"What are you talking about?! How can you blame this kind of thing—"

"Shhhhh, listen to me."

I put my index finger on Shimi's lips to block the fierce rebuttal he was about to blurt out without thinking, and I was genuinely happy because of his reaction, and I could almost feel the smiles on my brows and eyebrows.

"You see, even if I am like this, I can still gain your trust and understanding—so I am really happy."

"In this life that should not be continued as if stolen, I watched my sisters grow up safely and happily, and was trusted and worshiped by everyone in the Demon Slayer Squad. People seriously like..."

"For me, this is already an incomparably precious happiness that I never dared to imagine before."

Shimi stared at me dumbfounded.

I tilted my head and looked at him with a smile, and said with a sincere smile: "Of course, there are still regrets, after all, I only have six years left - but it is also because of this that we can't waste precious time Waste it on heartbreak and pain."

As I spoke, I shook Shimi's hand, leaned closer to him and stared at his beautiful purple pupils, and said to him with crooked eyebrows: "My Shimi is the most gentle person in the world, so I hope that I will I can see your smile every day for the rest of my life, and I hope every minute and every second you spend with me is happy."

"—Will you give me a chance to spend the rest of my life with you and make you happy forever, Shiya?"

Undead Kawa Miniya was stunned.

Unable to react at all, he opened his eyes to the maximum, staring at the blue-haired young man's smile that was more dazzling than the sun, his eyes suddenly blurred uncontrollably.

What kind of warm and gentle person is he who can ask others to accompany them and bring them happiness when he has only six years left in his life?

How could there be such absurd things in this world, and how could those gods have the heart to take away such a beautiful person's life in his prime?

But, but...

Undead Kawa Minami looked at Hu Die Eiji's extremely serious eyes through his hazy vision, and finally couldn't help clenching his teeth, closing his eyes and shedding tears in the other's arms.

But Eiji Hu Die really thought so.

This man who has been protecting others and blaming himself all his life really feels that he is happy enough just to be cared about and loved by important people.

Not only that, when there were only six short years left in his precious life, this person's first thought was to hope that he, his lover, would be happy.

What a gentle and noble man.

He wanted to protect him... He obviously swore in his heart that he would protect him, and wanted to grow old with him forever.

Undead Kawa Minami hugged his lover who was more important than his own life. At that moment, he couldn't stop crying like rain, and the bitterness and pain in his heart almost drowned his whole body.

After a long, long time, he nodded slowly and seriously, and said in a hoarse and choked voice: "...OK."

"I promise you... starting today, every day I'm with you will be happy... I will stay with you for the rest of your time."

That night, I moved into Shimi's room and officially started living together with him.

During the day, I wrote to Master Yaozai, and agreed with him to hold a Zhuhe meeting tomorrow, and discuss the final battle with my colleagues.

...Unknowingly, Wu Mi and I have finally come to this step.

Forget it, he must have long wanted to end this thousand-year-old fate.

Well, but even if he doesn't want to do it, I'll force him to do it.

In the middle of the night, I gently pushed away Shimi's arm holding me, and got out of bed quietly.

Butterfly House is very quiet at night.

Because ghosts have not been active for a long time, there are no wounded here, only me, Shiya and a few younger sisters still live.

... No, perhaps another "person" should be added.

In the hazy moonlight, I came to Yuan Yi Zero Style, raised my hand and poured all the vitality I had accumulated for a long time into his body.

After an unknown period of time, the puppet with six arms trembled slightly, and raised its head little by little under my gaze.

"Eiji... Your Excellency..."

He called me mechanically but inexplicably softly, lowered his head and put down the knife as if in slow motion, bent over and knelt down at my feet slowly.

"I haven't seen you in 78, [-] years...Jiguo Yuanyi...I'm here to apologize to you."
