Chapter 42 Ubuyashiki Yoshiya
? ?
Although he was a little confused about what Busai was doing, Wolf was more concerned about Shinobu Kocho's injuries. He was relieved to see that she was recovering well and looked at his hands covered with calluses from wielding the sword.
Although he didn't know why he turned into a Shura after his resurrection this time, when he thought about the reason why he was able to wake up for a moment during this period, and the description of the "Minako's Candy" that completely awakened him, Wolf made up his mind.
To enrich my emotions and leave more beautiful memories in my heart, maybe in this way... I won't be swallowed by killing...
First... let's start by making a friend...
Thinking of this, the wolf imitated the scenes that often took place between soldiers that he had secretly watched on the battlefield when he was young.
He bent down slightly and extended his hand to Shinobu Kocho who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Just as she came back to her senses from the comfortable feeling of treatment, Shinobu Kocho saw Wolf reaching out his hand to her with a calm expression. She was stunned for a moment, looked at Wolf's expression, and then looked at the gourd in her hand.
Then put the gourd in the wolf's hand.
"Back to you."
"..."
Looking at the gourd in his hand silently, Wolf didn't say much. He just put the gourd back on his waist and reached out to Shinobu Kocho again.
"Huh? Oh!"
Seeing Wolf continue to reach out his hand, the somewhat confused Shinobu Kocho suddenly realized when she saw the Kusamaru in her other hand, and reached out to hand the Kusamaru back to Wolf.
"...?"
He took the wedge pill and put the knife back into the sheath. His movements were smooth but the doubt on his face became more and more serious.
Why...It's different from the soldiers I secretly saw...
I remember that shouldn't we hold each other's hands with a smile, stand up and pat each other's shoulders, and then leave side by side with laughter in the afterglow of the sunset?
Not giving up, Wolf continued to reach out to Shinobu Kocho.
? ?
Shinobu Kocho, who already had a hot temper, now frowned.
What on earth does this guy want?
She was somewhat confused by the wolf, and he stretched out his hand to her with a calm face. What else did he want besides the gourd and the knife?
At this time, Kanae, who had a higher emotional intelligence, had already seen through the wolf's intention, and was now so amused by the actions of the two that she covered her mouth and laughed.
And Fushigi Miyabi's emotional intelligence is also very high. Like Kanae, he understood the wolf's intentions, but he is not as gentle and decent as Kanae.
He pointed at the wolf and laughed mercilessly, his back bent with laughter.
"You are such a lame guy, hahaha!"
Xing Ming beside him didn't say much. He still clasped his hands together and recited Buddhist scriptures, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Seeing everyone's reactions, even though Shinobu Kocho was slow-witted, she understood Wolf's intention. Her little face slightly blushed and she held Wolf's hand a little embarrassedly.
Wolf pulled her up, and then Shinobu Kocho quickly let go of her hand, looked at Wolf awkwardly and said softly.
"Thanks..."
At the same time, I felt a little resentful in my heart. Why did this guy always have a cold face? How could I tell that he wanted to help me?
The wolf felt melancholy at this moment.
It feels like... it shouldn't be like this...
It's so hard to make friends...try a different goal.
Then he turned his attention to Xing Ming, whose skin was burnt black.
Shinobu Kocho, who had been secretly watching the wolf, followed his gaze and discovered that Xingming's injury had not been treated yet.
Just when she was about to rush over to help him with treatment, she found that there was a figure faster than her.
Standing in front of Xingming, Langshou reached into his arms, took out a bag of powder, and threw it into Xingming's hand.
He held the powder in his palm. Although he was curious, Xing Ming was not in a hurry to ask. He just waited silently for the wolf to explain it to him.
"Fire extinguishing powder, take it, it will treat the burns."
After hearing Wolf's brief introduction, Xing Ming had no doubts. He opened the bag and poured the powder into his mouth.
Suddenly, a cool feeling spread throughout my body from the inside out, and the burning sensation on my body disappeared, leaving only a slight pain in the wound.
Two big words appeared behind him.
【Resistant to inflammation】
Then the wolf took out another pill and gave it to Xingming for him to take. The burns on his body began to recover slowly, and he personally experienced the magic of the medicine provided by the wolf.
"Thank you... Amitabha..."
Sincere words of gratitude fell, accompanied by tears from Xingming and his group.
Why did you cry...
Seeing Xingming's tears falling, Wolf suddenly felt confused. What did his crying mean?
Thinking of this, Wolf let out a barely perceptible sigh, secretly feeling that making friends was too troublesome. He turned his head to look at Kanae, who was talking with Shinobu Kocho about the various medicines that Wolf had taken out.
Not the time...
He looked at the Wind Pillar Fushigi Mushiya who was not far from him. When he saw the wolf looking at him, his originally calm face suddenly became ferocious.
"Huh?! What are you looking at me for?!"
The wolf's eyes suddenly became a little strange.
Ah... this doesn't seem to work...
"Hey! You bastard! What's that look?!"
Just as Busei rolled up his sleeves and was about to argue with Wolf, Kanae ended her conversation with Shinobu Kocho and walked towards the two of them.
Seeing this, Uzui had no choice but to give up, and walked away with a snort.
When she came to the wolf, Kanae first expressed her gratitude to the wolf with a smile.
"This trip is all thanks to your help, Mr. Sekiro."
After saying this, he bent down slightly and bowed to the wolf, but then changed the subject and said.
"But we have another unwelcome request that you can agree to..."
After hearing this, Wolf frowned, but did not interrupt and continued to listen to Kanae.
"Please come with us back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and meet the leader."
"please."
Looking at the sincere Kanae, Wolf's frown relaxed.
Go meet the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps...but Minako is still waiting for me.
Just as he was about to refuse, Kanae added as if she had guessed what the wolf was thinking.
"I will ask the soldiers of the Hidden Force to take Minako to Butterfly House, which is not far from the headquarters. Minako will be safer there."
"..."
"I see..."
Minako could get better protection and was not far away from him, so there seemed to be no reason to refuse.
After getting the affirmative response from Wolf, Kanae's serious little face broke into a smile. Thinking of the magical powers of Wolf, if this trip goes smoothly, the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps may have a qualitative leap.
She turned around and winked at Busui River, her crow was killed by Douma and she had no way to communicate.
"cut."
Although he was a little unhappy, Busei still knew the overall situation and blew the whistle to call his crow to tell it everything that happened here.
Let go.
------
The pitch-black wings streaked across the sky, through the clouds, across the mountains, over the town, and landed in a hidden courtyard.
"Wind Pillar Fushigawa Miya reports! Upper Rank Two Douma has been killed!"
The hoarse voice of a crow sounded in the courtyard and reached the ears of a man with long hair sitting upright in the house.
Hearing the sound, the hand that was marking the documents paused, and then began to tremble continuously.
The white-haired woman behind him lifted up his trembling arm with heartache, but the man didn't care at all. Although half of his forehead was covered with a purple scar and one eye was blind, his face at this moment was filled with excitement and ecstasy.
"Finally...Finally! Ahem! The Demon Slayer Corps has finally cut off the head of an Upper Rank Demon once again after nearly a hundred years!"
