Chapter 45 Trading
Feeling the warm embrace and the pure love of the Butterfly sisters, Kanao's trembling body gradually calmed down. She snuggled in the Butterfly sisters' arms and returned to her silly smiling look.
Minako, who was smiling foolishly in the wolf's arms, heard that Kanae was injured. She quickly jumped out of the wolf's arms and ran to Kanae, with a look of worry on her little face.
"Hey! Is Sister Kanae injured? Is it serious? Is it serious?"
Looking at Minako who was looking around her worriedly and Kanao in her arms, the tenderness in Kanao's eyes seemed to be overflowing.
These are what I want to protect...
Kanae smiled and gave Minako the same confident smile she showed when they parted last time.
"Of course it's not serious! I'm very strong! What's more, I have so many companions. And, Mr. Sekiro helped me a lot this time!"
"Hehe~"
Hearing that Wolf helped Kanae, Minako laughed proudly as if he was praising her.
Behind them, Wolf looked at the two with a complicated look. Kanae did not mention that she had fallen into Shura...
Thanks...
I said something silently in my heart, and then I saw Shinobu Kocho pulling the two girls together and saying something to them. Minako smiled and took the hand of the dazed Kanao and ran to the side to play.
The Butterfly Sisters couldn't help but smile as they looked at Kanao, who was being pulled away by Minako with a look of helplessness on her face.
After retracting their gazes, the two returned to the crowd. Seeing that Wolf was a little confused, Shinobu Kocho explained to Wolf in due course.
"Kanaho...due to family reasons when she was a child, she was unable to express her emotions normally..."
As he said this, he glanced at Kanae beside him helplessly.
"Especially after her sister taught her to make decisions by flipping a coin!"
Kanae had expected Shinobu Kocho to say this, and she leaned on her with a somewhat aggrieved look to defend herself.
"Don't say that, Shinobu... If you don't do this, Kanao won't be able to make a decision on her own, and Kanao will definitely change after she meets a boy she likes!"
Shinobu Kocho disagreed and pouted helplessly at Kanae.
"What a twisted logic... I still hope that with Minako as a playmate of the same age, Kanao can open up to her."
While listening to the Butterfly sisters' conversation, the wolf kept his eyes on the two children who were playing.
Under the setting sun, Minako said something to Kanao with a happy face, while Kanao stupidly threw the coins before reacting. But Minako didn't show any impatience and still happily held Kanao's hand.
Wolf had never seen Minako smile like this with her peers. During the three years of living in the small town, Minako spent more time with himself and the old couple.
And this smile is now deeply imprinted in the wolf's memory.
Such a smile... is really nice...
But people who don't understand romance will always exist, and Busei's hoarse voice sounded behind the three of them.
"Hey! It's time to get down to business!"
Hearing Busei's voice, Kanae left Shinobu Kocho and her expression became serious.
"follow me."
After saying that, he walked towards the depths of the Butterfly House without looking back, and the others followed him without asking any questions.
After passing through numerous corridors, they arrived at a small courtyard surrounded by houses. A pavilion was located in the courtyard, and next to it was a small stone pond. Several chubby goldfish were swimming comfortably in the water.
At this time, Shinobu Kocho seemed to have thought of something. She quickened her pace, trotted up to the pavilion, picked up the cloth bag on the stone table, took out a handful of bait from it and scattered it into the stone pond.
"I almost forgot to feed my goldfish!"
He turned sideways to show it to the wolf that followed him and spoke proudly.
"How is it? My goldfish is very beautiful!"
"Um..."
Looking at the goldfish in the stone pond that was taking small sips of the bait, although the goldfish seemed to be well-fed from the perspective of an ordinary person, Wolf was, after all, someone who had seen the Magikarp of Genshin Palace.
Just looking at Shinobu Kocho's smiling face, the words "I feel not as good as the carp in Genji Palace" could not be said out of my mouth.
"very beautiful."
"Hey, next time I'll show you the pufferfish I keep in my room! (Shinobu has a goldfish named Pufferfish)"
"You two, come here quickly!"
At this time, Busei, who was sitting next to a stone bench in the stone pavilion, yelled impatiently at the two people who were admiring the goldfish.
Sitting next to him was Kanae, who had a serious face, and Xingming, who had his hands clasped together and was silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
After Wolf and Kocho Shinobu took their seats, Kanae formally stated the real purpose of this trip.
"Mr. Sekiro, I hope you can join our Demon Slayer Corps."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was slightly stunned, but Fuzukawa was the first to come to his senses. He pointed at the wolf and questioned Kanae in confusion.
"Why do you want to ask this guy to join the Demon Slayer Corps? Even though he's quite capable, he's the one who... hurt you before!"
Hearing this, Wolf frowned slightly. He was not told about joining the Demon Slayer Corps before they set out.
At this moment, Kanae's expression was serious. She shook her head slightly at Busei, then her eyes swept from Shinobu Kocho and Gyomei, and finally fell on the wolf.
"Sekiro did lose his mind before, but he also gave us medicine to recover from his injuries after he regained his mind."
"You have also seen the effect of that medicine. Even if Mr. Sekiro is unwilling to join the Demon Slayer Corps, he can lend that power to the Demon Slayer Corps, which will definitely greatly improve the Demon Slayer Corps' efficiency in killing demons!"
Having said that, Uzui could only slowly put down the finger he had raised. He had to admit that what Kanae said made sense.
The other two who had personally experienced the magic of the medicine naturally agreed.
Then...it all depends on the wolf's will...
Looking towards the wolf, I found that the wolf had been frowning since a while ago.
The wolf was feeling somewhat conflicted at the moment.
Pills and fire extinguishing powder...
But those medicines were bought from stores with money, and after purchasing Jincheng Tiebi, there are not many assets left.
As if she could see what the wolf was thinking, Kanae quickly added to the wolf.
"Of course we won't ask Mr. Sekiro for nothing. The Demon Slayer Corps will give a suitable price to buy it from you."
Hearing this, Wolf's brows relaxed slightly, and seeing this, Kanae continued.
"How about one yen a pill?"
Hearing this price, Wolf's brows completely relaxed.
"can."
It only costs one yen to buy five pills in the store, so this deal is a sure win for Wolf!
Seeing that the wolf agreed, Kanae breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, her eyes lit up as if she suddenly thought of something, and asked the wolf excitedly.
"Then can the God of Snow also...? We can offer a very high price!"
Hearing Kanae's somewhat excited words, he naturally would not refuse since it would not harm the wolf, and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Kanae was overjoyed and looked at Shinobu Kocho, the joy in her eyes was self-evident.
But at this moment, a puzzled voice sounded from the other side.
"Wait a minute! What is this [God's Flying Snow]?"
