Sente Eiji's Black Friday

Days after the war, the aftermath work was finally over.

After the last wounded person was sent away, everyone in the Butterfly House was free, and I finally had time——to propose something I've always wanted to do!

"Create a chamber of commerce?"

At the last meeting of the ghost killing team, everyone who heard my proposal repeated in unison.

"That's right! It is to create a chamber of commerce!"

I was full of enthusiasm and talked about my thoughts endlessly:

"I started thinking about this a long time ago! Think about it, there are many homeless people in our ghost killing team, and there are many people who can do nothing but swing swords? Now there is no Evil ghosts, where will these people go after the ghost killing team is disbanded? And how will they make a living?"

"About this." Master Yaozai took over the conversation, with a thoughtful look on his face, "I was thinking about giving each of the children a large sum of money, and then introducing jobs to you as much as possible... After all, Ghost Dance Tsuji has been defeated, although it is very lonely, but the Demon Slayer Squad no longer has the meaning of existence..."

"Master Yaozai also feels very lonely, right?!" I grasped this sentence keenly, and immediately said loudly: "Although your idea is very good! But I! I don't want to be separated from everyone in the Ghost Killing Squad !"

The air was silent for a second, and then everyone strongly agreed with my words.

"Hmm! The Purgatory family has been loyal to the Demon Slayer Squad for generations. If the Demon Slayer Squad is disbanded like this, I really don't know what to do!" This is Xing Julang who echoed me loudly.

"Ahhhh... Ever since Lord Gong rescued me from prison, the ghost killing team has become my home... If it disbands, then I really don't know where I should go..." This is tears Mr. Mingyu with a face full of grief.

"I'm the same as Mr. Beimingyu, I have nowhere to go after leaving the ghost killing team..." This was Yu Sui Tianyuan who was rubbing his chin and thinking about something.

I raised my eyebrows when I heard the words, and said with a smile: "You can also get back to your old profession, fake ninja."

"Ah? You're looking for a beating again, aren't you! I've been told that I'm a real ninja—"

"Ah, ah, the relationship between Mr. Yu Sui and your elder brother is still so good." Kanae interrupted him with crooked eyebrows and folded hands, "If I can't see this kind of picture again in the future, I can't get together with everyone again. If not, I will definitely be lonely."

"Oh, it doesn't matter to me, it's up to the lord to decide." Ihei Xiaobanei said with a lack of interest, then suddenly shifted his gaze, and looked at Xingjurou faintly, "But purgatory, if the ghost killing team is disbanded, you What will happen to the stepson named Ganlusi?"

"Huh? I don't know! But Ganlusi is the eldest daughter of the family, so she should be back home soon!" Xing Shoulang replied straightforwardly.

Yihei Xiaoba was silent for a while, then suddenly changed her mind: "Sure enough, we don't want to disband. It's more fun for everyone to get together."

"laugh."

Shimi, who was silent by my side, couldn't help but sneered, and laughed in a voice that only I could hear: "This intention is too obvious."

"Yes, I don't know when I can catch up with him." I was in a great mood watching everyone talking and laughing together, and then turned to look at him, "What does Shimi think?"

"I can do whatever I want." Shimi replied without thinking, raised her hand and yawned, "Anyway, I'm with you, there's no difference."

"Hey? You're so frank today." I blinked unexpectedly, then suddenly remembered something, and leaned over to his ear with a smile, "Could it be the aftermath of last night? Haha, in fact, I asked you to To be honest about how I feel I just want to know if you're okay—"

"Shut up, shut up!!" Shimi's face turned red all of a sudden, and she pushed me away, "Don't say such things in broad daylight, you idiot!!"

The young man's angry voice suddenly exploded, causing everyone who was discussing intensely to look over curiously, and the air fell into silence for a while.

Shimi choked suddenly, and suddenly his whole body became stiff, as if he didn't know what to do.

I was covered by his mouth, and I blinked innocently when I saw it, and I couldn't help laughing when I was stared at by him blushing, and took off his hand to bring the topic back to the right track:

"Well, there are indeed many people who are unwilling to leave like me and everyone, but there must be many people who want to return to their hometowns, so I said this is just a suggestion, and it is up to the team members to participate or not. Speaking of this, do you want to hear what I want to do when I create the chamber of commerce?"

"Then what do you want to do, Eiji?" Master Yaoya who had been watching us with a smile asked curiously.

I grinned triumphantly and laughed lowly. Under everyone's gaze, I triumphantly raised my index finger: "Let's create a pharmaceutical company!"

"Pharmaceutical company?" Everyone repeated in surprise.

"That's right!" My eyes lit up as I answered loudly, "We will use the medicine made from the blue Bana flower to create a company!"

other people:"??!"

Under my positive suggestion (strike out), Master Yaozai smiled and agreed to try my idea.

The Ubuyashiki, who is good at management, only thought for a while, and then dictated a set of practical plans on the spot, ensuring that everyone in the Demon Slayer Squad could find a suitable position in the chamber of commerce he mentioned.

This time it was my turn to be dumbfounded.

——After all, I was only based on the simple (bushi) idea of ​​"I don't want my treasure ghost killing team to disband", and "I want to make the existence of the blue Higan flower public to the world, and Wu Mi, who died of anger and went to hell", I just talked nonsense about the chamber of commerce, who would have thought that the lord could really put this idea into practice!

Ah ha ha ha, but as expected of Hokage-sama (bushi)!Really reliable!

After such an encounter, the last Zhuhe meeting, which was supposed to announce the disbandment of the Demon Slayer Squad, turned into the first meeting to discuss how to establish the Wisteria Foundation (the Konoha Foundation I proposed was killed, damn it).

After some intense discussions, it was finally decided that the consortium would make its debut with wisteria flower products (a special product of the Ghost Killing Squad), expand its scale while making money, and start merging pharmaceuticals (such as the green Bianhua drug that took away the bamboo shoots on the mountain behind Wu Mi’s hometown), Early childhood education (proposed by Mr. Beimingyu), kendo training (old business) and other businesses, strive to develop and grow the consortium as soon as possible.

After confirming the preliminary route and development plan, the energetic Lord Yaozai immediately proposed the matter of dividends and shares.

However, seeing that most people except me are full of question marks, he couldn't help but say that he will plan this part of the work fairly and justly, so we don't have to worry, he will never let the children suffer or worry, Let us all live happily and happily, and then declare the meeting over.

Well, since Lord Yaozai himself said so, I stopped thinking about helping him palm his eyes, and just gently reminded him to pay more attention to his body, not to die because of nothing, and to recover his health. Too much work regardless of the limits of the body.

Master Yaozai just nodded with a smile when he heard it, and he didn't know whether he listened or not.

As I thought about urging him more in the future, I bowed and said goodbye.

But when I walked to the door, Master Yaozai suddenly said again: "Thank you, Eiji."

I was slightly taken aback, and turned around with a puzzled face: "...is it?"

Master Yaozai had a soft smile on his face, looked at me with gentle and slightly sad eyes that made people want to cry, and said softly: "On behalf of the Demon Slayer Squad, thank you for everything you have done for the world. You He was really a very gentle kid.”

I was quiet for a moment, then smiled at him as usual.

"This is what I should do, Lord Yaozai."

Four years later.

I successfully developed a drug to treat skin diseases that cannot be exposed to sunlight using the blue Higan flower, and then I put aside the burden of the chief drug researcher of the Wisteria Foundation and dragged Shimi to roam around.

The first place we went was Forging Sword Village.

After the war, Yuanyi rejected my proposal to continue to instill life force in him, and also refused to stay in Butterfly House. Instead, he returned to Xiaotie and told him what he was conscious of.

Since then, Xiaotie has taken him on a journey of practice, and they would send letters back from time to time, telling me what Yuanyi saw, what he learned, and whether he had a good time...

However, Xiaotie said in his latest letter a few days ago that Yuanyi’s puppet body has become more and more dull. He wants to see me before he can’t speak, so he hopes that I can go to exercise. knife village.

When I saw this, I had a premonition in my heart, and when I arrived at Forging Sword Village and saw Yuan Yi in Xiaotie's room, this premonition was undoubtedly confirmed.

——Yuanyi hoped that I could personally cremate him.

"I've lived long enough, Eiji-sama."

No matter how many years have passed, the person who is always as clean as a piece of paper said this to me, staring at me intently with his eyes, and his tone was as soft as a whisper.

"In these years, I have seen many beautiful scenery... I have seen towns and buildings that I have never seen before... I have seen a world without evil spirits, how happy people's lives are... I have also seen Master Eiji There is no haze, a bright and happy smile..."

"Ji Guo Yuan Yi, this life has no regrets."

"The only remaining wish... is to see you again, please personally—"

"I see."

I interrupted him abruptly, held his shoulders to stop him from bending over, and lowered my eyes slightly to cover the thoughts in my eyes.

"...This time, let me see you off, Yuanyi."

Yuan Yi froze for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look into my eyes.

He stared at me for a long time, and then he showed a simple and soft smile like a child.

"...Yes. Thank you, Eiji-sama."

The next day, I hugged Yuanyi to bid farewell to Xiaotie, and came to the cliff east of Forging Knife Village.

When the sun was showing its head in the sky, Enichi, who was kneeling beside me, said to me softly, "It's time, Master Eiji."

"...Mmm." I replied in a low voice, my eyes still fixed on the rising sun.

Yuanyi waited for a while, then slowly turned his head to look at me, with a somewhat helpless smile in his tone: "Master Yinger... is indeed gentler than anyone else... Fortunately, I was prepared..."

Before he finished speaking, flames suddenly ignited under his feet.

I was startled, and instinctively wanted to drag him: "Yuanyi!"

Yuanyi stood motionless in place, and slowly smiled at me: "The body of the puppet...does not feel pain, you...don't mind me...to be able to have you by my side at the end, to me, is already enough……"

The tongue of flame jumped and spread upwards, constantly licking his body.

I held his hand tightly and opened my mouth before making a hoarse voice: "Do you know?... Your daily breath is as beautiful as today's sunrise."

Yuan Yi watched me quietly for a long time, then said softly as if afraid of disturbing something, "Without the shining sun, there would be no breath of the sun."

I froze for a moment, and then realized what he was saying, and couldn't help but widen my eyes in astonishment.

At this moment, Yuan Yi gently held my face in his cold hands, and pressed a pious and cautious kiss on my lips.

"I have always loved you dearly, Master Eiji."

Bright tongues of flame shot up.

Yuanyi pushed me away and showed me one last smile in the flames.

I do not know how long it has been.

Watching the puppet turn into ashes and float away, I sat on the cliff, staring at the scorched ground in a daze.

A familiar breath came slowly behind me, hesitated for a moment, and then gently put a hand on my shoulder.

I grabbed that hand silently, silent for a long time, suddenly lowered my head and took a deep breath, then raised my head frantically and shouted: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" It's too foul to do something like this!! It's too much, it's too much!!"

Shimi who was behind me seemed to twitch the corners of her mouth, raised her hand and hit my head with a hand knife: "It's so noisy! What are you yelling in the morning!"

"Oh——! You're too much, Shimi!" I covered my head and howled, couldn't help but jumped up and locked his neck, screaming for an explanation, "I didn't see Master, I was very angry just now. Are you sad?! Not only did you say nothing to comfort me, but you actually knocked on my head so roughly! Well, let’s see if I don’t teach you a lesson—”

"You guys don't look sad." Shimi, who was being dragged around by me, said speechlessly, and dragged me down the mountain, "Don't be stupid, pack up and leave quickly Didn’t you say you’re going to travel here?”

"No! I want to go to the hot spring first! I want to go to the hot spring, to go to the hot spring, to go to the hot spring——!"

"Okay, okay, soak in the hot spring..." Shimi grabbed my arm with a headache and wanted to break me away, her tone was perfunctory like coaxing a child.

I snorted indifferently, thought for a while, leaned over and put my chin on his shoulder, and said slowly: "When you send me away, will you be more sad than I am now? "

Shimi was quiet for a while, then turned her head to the other side, and said in a muffled voice, "...you have a good idea, so I won't be sad."

"Huh? How ruthless." I laughed lowly, grabbed the back of his head and kissed his trembling lips.

Shimi gasped for breath, then hugged me almost urgently and began to kiss me back, the salty, wet and bitter liquid seeped into the lips and tongue while kissing.

Afterwards in the hot spring, he kept straddling me and kissing me fiercely. Even though his body like white jade had long been smoldering red and hot and softened into mud, even though his whole body was trembling, sobbing and sobbing, his limbs were always tight. Tightly entangled me and refused to relax.

I felt that my waist was going to be blue and purple by him, but when I walked out of the hot spring with him in my arms and whispered in his ear, he clung to me even harder, tears streaming down my face, speechless He said in a simple way: "Then you also...g-give it to me..."

"Leave what? Traces?"

I wrapped the two of them in bath towels, and glanced at his mottled and red neck with a smile, "If there are any traces, I have already left them."

"It's not like this..." Shimi's lips trembled slightly, he lowered his head to touch my forehead, and a hoarse voice with a crying voice came into my ears, "It's more serious...the kind that can leave scars... ...It's best, let me see it too..."

Hearing this, I raised my eyes to look at him, stared at his tear-filled purple pupils for a while, and slowly and helplessly softened my brows and eyes.

"it is good."

Responding softly like this, I pushed him against the glass door next to the hot spring, tilted my head and hugged his steaming neck, closed my eyes and bit hard.

"Ugh-"

Shimi's body shrank instinctively, and a vague and painful cry came from his throat. His arms unconsciously hugged me tightly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

I hugged him in response, and at the same time slowly let go, drooping my eyes to lick the blood oozing from that deep bite mark, and sighed with satisfaction and helplessness in my mouth: "It always feels like leaving such a bite mark." Like wolves that mark their mates...well, it's like biting you to say to other wolves, 'This is my she-wolf!'"

"...En." Shimi responded in a low voice, hugged my neck tightly again, buried her face in my neck and said in a hoarse voice: "...I belong to you."

I paused a little, and then smiled helplessly: "Okay, you are mine... Come down first, I bite deeply, so I need to take the medicine first."

"No need." Shimi hugged me tightly without raising her head, and even wrapped her legs around my waist again, the meaning she wanted to express was obvious.

I sighed softly in my heart, tilted my head and kissed his temples comfortingly, and at the same time treated the bite marks in a way that could leave scars as he wished.

The hot spring behind the glass door is full of ethereal steam.

Amidst the hot flashes, drops of liquid kept sliding down from above, leaving wet marks on the glass.

I kept kissing away the tears rolling down Shimi's face, and whispered in his ear: "Actually... I don't want you to send me away."

"...Why?" Shimi immediately stepped back and looked at me, with tears still hanging from her long eyelashes, "Then who do you want to see you off?"

"Don't give it to anyone." I smiled and shook my head, kissed him again when he was stunned, and whispered between my lips and teeth: "It's so sad to see important people leave with my own eyes... so , it’s better not to see it.”

"—Can you allow me a little self-willedness, Miniya?"

Mimi was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he quietly lowered his head and hugged me, closed his eyes and said inaudibly: "What can I do with you... idiot."

Ten months later, two months shy of turning 25, I began to falter.

About half a month later, after I felt my body start to feel weak and my vision became blurred, I simply packed my bags, left a letter and left home.

In that letter, I told my younger sisters that I was going to travel around the world, and that I might not be able to come back in five or ten years, so I told them not to worry—after all, I was a man who killed a thousand-year-old ghost without misfortune. Nothing can hurt me at all, hahaha.

I don't know if they will believe this excuse, maybe they believed it at the beginning, and they will start looking for me in a few years, or maybe they don't believe it at the beginning, after asking around, they can always get it from Master Shimi or Yaozai. Feel wrong...

...Well, no matter what the situation is, I hope they won't be too sad, I'm the worst at coaxing people.

Maybe I'm not a good brother.

Not a good lover either.

"--Hey."

A hoarse voice suddenly came from behind, and I kept walking, comforting myself "this must be an auditory hallucination", while walking forward quickly.

The person behind seemed to laugh angrily, walked quickly and grabbed my arm, and said in a rather bad tone: "Didn't you hear when someone called you, idiot?"

I couldn't walk away quietly, I could only turn my head back with a bitter face, and looked at that person with a headache: "I said you... Didn't we agree not to say goodbye? You made me very embarrassed like this!"

"Who cares about you." My unlovable white-haired stepson turned his head away in disdain, and said confidently: "I only said that I can't help you, but I didn't say that I really promised you."

……Grass?Are you playing this game with me? !

It’s rare for me to be tricked by others. I couldn’t believe it, and Shimi happened to see my expression in a blink of an eye, and couldn’t help but sneered: “Okay, don’t be stupid, I just came to see you , I didn't want to go with you."

"What, it turned out to be like this." I immediately felt relieved when I heard the words, and hugged him with a smile, "Then I can rest assured that the glorious image of being a master has been perfectly maintained to the end, ahahaha."

Shiya, who was hugged by me, calmed down, and after a while, she slowly returned to hug me.

"The glorious image that was maintained until the end...that kind of thing didn't exist from the beginning, okay?"

I smiled without saying a word, silently tightened my arms, and kissed the bite marks I left him through my clothes: "...I'm leaving."

"...Well." Shimi's voice became blurred, and the pleasant voice trembled slightly, "...come back early."

I paused slightly, then smiled helplessly: "Ah."

Shimi's fingers tightly clenched my clothes, then took a deep breath, withdrew his hand abruptly, turned around and left.

I looked at him tenderly and said softly, "Goodbye."

Shimi's footsteps stopped suddenly, and her back collapsed like a drawn bow.

I gave him one last look, smiled and stepped in the opposite direction.

There was a rustling sound of turning around behind me, but I didn't look back.

The sky was just right that day, and I carried my luggage and walked towards a distant place that no one knew, and I couldn't help but have some fantasies about the future in my heart.

—Maybe one day, I can really come back?
