Chapter 44 Butterfly House
In the shaking carriage, Butterfly Shinobu looked through the window at another carriage next to her with an angry look on her face. From time to time, she exclaimed and even called out to the wolf in the same carriage with her.
"Wolf, come and help me hear what they are saying!"
"..."
Wolf was a little overwhelmed looking at the excited girl in front of him. Although he could see before that Shinobu Kocho had a somewhat hot temper, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
------
Back to when the three hermits arrived here in three carriages, everyone was discussing how to allocate the number of people.
Xingming, who is huge in size and has an incredibly heavy weapon, occupies a carriage alone, while Shinobu Kocho insists on riding in the same carriage with her sister Kanae Kocho.
But at this time, Busei was unwilling to ride in a carriage with the wolf.
"Huh?! Why would I have to sit with this bastard for such a long time! I'll switch with you!"
She asked to be exchanged with Shinobu Kocho, but Shinobu Kocho naturally didn't want to be separated from her sister, so she had an argument with her.
"Why!"
Kanae, who was standing by, smiled bitterly and tried to persuade the two to calm down.
The wolf who was not chosen by anyone stood outside the three people and watched quietly. He didn't have any requirements, but if possible, he didn't want to ride in the same car with Busei who kept glaring at him.
At this moment, Xingming had already sat in the carriage, with his hands clasped together, reciting Buddhist scriptures softly.
"Amitabha…"
The members of the hidden force sat outside the carriage and secretly watched the excitement.
In the end, Kanae made up her mind. She and Fuzugawa would be in one group, while Shinobu and Wolf would be in another.
"Why!"
Faced with her sister's questions, Kanae could only smile bitterly and explained to her.
"Good boy, this is for safety. This distribution is the most balanced and safest method. It will be more secure if any danger suddenly occurs."
He was about to refute, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the case. His sister was injured and was with the other pillar, Busou, while he himself was not strong enough and was with the powerful Wolf.
With nothing to say, Shinobu Kocho could only sullenly walk into the carriage under the mocking gaze of Busei.
"..."
The wolf, who witnessed all this, had a bad feeling in his heart, but still obeyed Chanae's arrangement and got into the carriage.
The vehicle allocation is now complete.
Without the excitement to watch, the hidden soldiers immediately set up the carriage. Their skillful movements and high coordination with the horses greatly increased their speed of progress.
Inside the carriage, as Wolf had expected, at first Shinobu Kocho was very interested in asking Wolf about the pills and the medicine gourd.
But when the wolf stammered and couldn't answer, she lost interest and sat in the car with her eyes closed. Only her trembling brows revealed her inner feelings.
Wolf also took this opportunity to check the reward that the light curtain gave him after he killed Upper Moon Two Douma.
What opened as he thought was not the light curtain, but two large white characters appeared in front of the wolf.
【Ninja Killing】
Then it turned into white light and dissipated. The familiar light curtain reappeared, and the reminder with white words on a black background spread like ink drops into water.
[Slay Upper Rank 2 Douma
Reward 2: Rosary
The Buddha Candy Reward System is now open
Rewards Shop Item Unlocks
Reward: Ghost Buddha x1
Reward Battle Memory-Dou Ma】
The rewards for killing Douma were so rich that Wolf was a little overwhelmed, but fortunately they were all things Wolf had seen before, so he accepted them after reading them carefully.
Only then did the wolf notice that the increase in the experience bar actually gave him seven more skill points!
After careful consideration, Wolf General used his skill points to unlock the Ninja Eye of the Ninja Secrets, and the Descent of the Ashina Style Secrets.
Suddenly, his eyes felt clear, cool and comfortable, and a warm current flowed through his body, making the wolf relax.
Looking at the rewards again, putting aside the Second Rosary and the Demon Buddha for the time being, Wolf was more interested in the Buddha candy and the items in the store.
Open the light curtain, and there will be an additional option of Buddha Candy on the other side of the store option, which will pop up in time when the wolf consciousness enters.
【Use spirits and candies
Then you can make Buddha candy with corresponding effects
Put it in your mouth and crush it
Then the power of the descending spirit can be attached to the body.
It is similar to the Senpoji Buddha candy that I used when I was in Ashina...
Unfortunately, the wolf had no candy on him, so he couldn't actually do it at the moment. He could only open the shop next to him to see what new goods were available.
【Fear Repellent Powder x5 Coins 300】
[Oil x5 Coins 200]
[Golden City Iron Wall x1 (limited to 1) Coins 2000]
Oh? !
There were only three more items but it was enough to surprise Wolf, not because of anything else but the last item [Golden Castle Iron Wall] which was the prosthetic ninja umbrella. This was a powerful ninja tool and its subsequent enhanced ninja tools had even more forms.
So even though the wolf felt a little distressed, he still bought it and put it among his holdings, then moved his attention to the last reward.
【Battle Memory-Dou Ma】
Looking at Douma's familiar hypocritical smile, Wolf thought about it and decided not to use it now. He didn't know what would happen if he failed to defeat the strengthened Douma in his memory.
...I'll use it again when I have the chance.
Just as the wolf was thinking this.
Wolf, who was focusing his attention on the light curtain, did not notice that Shinobu Kocho had already leaned over to the window and was eavesdropping on the carriage carrying Kana and Busei.
----
Time returns to the present.
The voice of Shinobu Kocho calling interrupted Wolf's thoughts. Although Wolf was a little confused, when he thought of his previous decision to make friends, he walked to Shinobu Kocho and slightly leaned to the side.
tapping.
The skills belonging to the ninja were now used by the wolf to do such strange things.
Ok?
There was no sound...just that their heartbeats were a little faster than usual.
He told Shinobu Kocho what he heard truthfully, and Shinobu Kocho exclaimed softly. She didn't suspect that Wolf was lying to him, but she was surprised that the two of them didn't say anything. But it was a good thing that they didn't say anything!
"Thanks, Wolf."
"Um…"
Afterwards, the two stopped talking. In such a strange atmosphere, relying on their superb driving skills, they arrived at their destination - Butterfly House - in just one whole day.
After getting off the carriage, the five people saw a huge courtyard. After saying goodbye and thanking the three hermits, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho led everyone to the Butterfly House.
When we arrived at the courtyard, we saw a huge wisteria tree standing in the center, and two small figures were standing under the tree, staring blankly at the treetops.
As if sensing something, two figures looked towards the five people at the same time, and one of them was Minako, who had been separated from the wolf for a long time.
Seeing the wolf she had been thinking about day and night, Minako cheered and trotted towards the wolf, then threw herself into the wolf's arms.
"Mr. Wolf! You finally came to see Minako!"
He picked up Minako, and the girl's happy laughter seemed to be contagious, raising the corners of Wolf's usually calm mouth, but his voice remained calm.
"Ah."
The smile was too normal and the three people standing by who had never seen a wolf like this looked surprised. Busei even talked to himself in an exaggerated manner.
"Hey, hey...is this true?"
Xingming's expression remained the same, but tears were streaming down his eyes and his voice was trembling slightly as he recited the Buddhist scriptures.
"Ah, Amitabha."
At this time, another cute girl with a side ponytail and a butterfly hair accessory also trotted over to Kanae. When she saw the bloody bandage on her abdomen, her face turned pale with fright.
She wanted to speak but couldn't open her mouth. Cold sweat dripped down her cheeks. She took out a coin from her pocket tremblingly, and just as she was about to bounce it up, the Butterfly sisters hugged her into a warm embrace.
Shinobu Kocho gently wiped the sweat from her head with her sleeve, and Kanae spoke to her softly.
"Sister, I'm fine~ Kanao, don't worry about me."
