Chapter 41 Qingming Festival
"Mr. Wolf."
The calling voice gradually grew louder, attracting the wolf whose consciousness was sinking.
Such a familiar voice...but I can't remember who it is...
The girl's silver bell-like calls continued to be heard, occasionally mixed with laughter.
Then, a series of images flashed before Wolf's eyes. Wolf was very sure that these were different from the previous images of him transforming into Shura and fighting to the death with Lord Isshin.
These images are all real memories that exist in his heart...
He played with the girl at a night gathering, watched himself carving Buddha statues in the dim temple, and went to visit the kind grandparents together.
Many, many...
"Mr. Wolf!"
In her memories, the girl would always call this name over and over again, and every time this happened, that was when she smiled the brightest.
Looking at this sweet smile, the wolf couldn't help but be infected by her, and a sweet feeling surged into his heart.
A smile appeared on his lips, and he knew that was the taste of happiness.
Memories flashed to the final scene.
In the forest, the little girl lay on Yin's back, turned around and looked at him worriedly. This was one of the few times when she couldn't laugh.
"Mr. Wolf...you must come back to find Minako!"
Minako...
His consciousness gradually became clear, just like a drowning person floating to the surface to breathe. The wolf had never experienced such strong emotional fluctuations in his heart.
yes...
I'm not a Shura...I'm...a wolf!
I want to go back to see Minako!
laugh...
Beyond consciousness, the wolf's head tilted to one side and straightened up. The flame on his prosthetic hand, along with the sparks on his clothes and the embers on the ground, suddenly went out, as if the Shura Fire had never descended.
! !
The three pillars naturally noticed such an obvious change at the first time. Except for Kanae who was holding the fallen body of Shinobu Kocho, the other two all took action!
Beimingyu's huge body suddenly rose up, leaped from a distance and landed beside the wolf. When the smoke and dust dissipated, the broad axe was already on the wolf's neck!
The muscles in his arms bulged, veins covered his face, and his expression was no longer calm. At this moment, he looked as ferocious as an angry King Kong.
The broad axe kept shaking on the wolf's neck, and he must have suppressed his murderous intent to the limit. If the wolf was not a ghost but a human, he would have killed the wolf at this moment!
But Busei Kawai flashed and moved close to the wolf with the broken knife, with the tip of the knife against the wolf's jaw.
With a ferocious look on his face, he stared at the wolf's eyes, shook the blade slightly, and growled like a vicious beast, suppressing his anger.
"Try moving again!"
Just as he was about to glare at the wolf again, he saw the murderous intent in this guy's eyes gradually dissipate, and after a moment of confusion, he regained his clarity.
What the hell is this guy doing?
The wolf's consciousness returned to his body, and the memories of when he turned into Shura just now flooded into his mind. He looked at Shinobu Kocho, who was lying on the ground with her abdomen stabbed by Ugimaru, with a pool of blood flowing out from under her, and Kanae, who was holding her.
I felt guilty that I had promised to protect them, but I ended up hurting them...
Thinking of this, the hand hanging by the waist trembled slightly. Just as he was about to take action, he felt a sharp pain in his jaw and neck.
"I told you not to move!"
Blood dripped down the broad axe and the broken sun blade. Even though the wolf seemed to have returned to normal, the two did not dare to let him act rashly.
"If you move again, I'll kill you!"
Faced with the ferocious threat from the Busikawa and the cold light reflected from the broad axe of the Wailing Island, the wolf was only slightly startled, and then continued to touch his waist without paying any attention to the sharp blade that was constantly penetrating into his flesh.
"This... please give it to her as soon as possible..."
He took out a gourd from his waist, which made the two men raise their eyebrows, because this gourd was the secret medicine with amazing healing power that they had seen Wolf possess before!
Busikawa frowned slightly. This was the first time he heard the wolf speak. He looked at the gourd handed to him and hesitated.
Is this guy really back to normal?
Beimingyu took a deep look at the wolf, put down the broad axe on the wolf's neck, took the gourd from the wolf's hand, and walked towards the Butterfly Sisters behind him.
"Come on..."
With his back to Busikawa and Wolf, he didn't know who he was talking to, but Wolf ignored Busikawa and followed Beimingyu.
Veins popped out on Busuigawa's head as he was ignored.
"Damn thing..."
Then he lowered his head, turned around and quickly followed the two of them.
When he came to the Butterfly sisters, Xing Ming looked at Kanae's sad expression and tears flowed from his eyes.
Kanae and Shinobu were children he rescued during a mission. He didn't want them to join the dangerous Demon Slayer Corps, but he was moved by their sincerity and hard work.
At this moment, Shinobu Kocho fell pale in Kanae's arms, with the Ugimaru pierced into her abdomen, but she did not dare to pull it out without permission.
Seeing this, Xingming hurriedly handed the gourd of medicine to Kanae.
Kanae took the gourd with red eyes and was stunned. The familiar style of the gourd made her quickly understand something. She turned her head and saw the wolf standing behind Xingming's huge body, and the unhappy Busikawa.
"Mr. Sekiro..."
"Feel sorry..."
Without waiting for Kanae to finish speaking, Wolf apologized first, but Kanae just smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"No need to apologize, Mr. Sekiro. If it weren't for you, we would have died at the hands of Douma long ago."
At the same time, the pale-faced Shinobu Kocho in his arms woke up at some point, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said weakly.
"Ahem...Sister is right...You saved our lives...You stabbed me...We are even now!"
Having said that, when he saw her pale little face and the wedge ball piercing her abdomen, Wolf still felt guilty. This was the first time he felt this way because of hurting someone.
He looked down at his prosthetic hand and the Shura Fire seemed to still be burning on it, but in the blink of an eye, the feeling disappeared without a trace.
I'll try to compensate her later...
"Hey! Stop saying those cheesy words and use that strange gourd to heal your wounds!"
Hearing Busei's urging words, Kanae nodded and was about to take the gourd from Gyomei. Shinobu Kocho stood up and took the gourd. Although her knife wound was agitated, she still forced a smile towards everyone.
"It's a small matter like this... I can do it myself!"
Then he held the wedge ball in one hand and the gourd in the other, let out a long sigh, clenched his teeth, and pulled the wedge ball out of the wound!
"Well..."
The little face turned pale due to the pain, and without waiting for the blood to flow out of the wound, he quickly drank the medicine in the gourd.
Suddenly, countless familiar green light spots emerged from around her, forming the word "治" behind her and then merged into her body to heal her injuries.
So warm...
It was as relaxing as soaking in a hot spring. I wanted to feel the therapeutic effect of the gourd, but I forgot my purpose because of the comfortable feeling.
When she came to her senses, the wound had healed to its original state, without even a scar left on her fair skin.
"Amazing..."
"Oh!"
Kanae opened her mouth slightly. Although she had used the pills before, the effect was obviously different. Fushigi Miya, who was watching silently behind her, couldn't help but exclaimed.
It was the first time that he witnessed the power of the wolf's secret medicine up close, but when he saw the wolf looking towards him following the sound, he quickly changed back to his arrogant look and pouted.
"Humph!"
