Chapter 46 Unlucky Murata
"What is that [God's Flying Snow]?"
Busei's gradually numb voice sounded. He was almost used to these strange and magical items on wolves.
"Seeing Butterfly like this, I am also a little curious, Amitabha..."
Xing Ming also shed two lines of tears at this moment. He knew that Butterfly was a steady and intelligent person. To make her look like this, this [God's Flying Snow] must be extraordinary.
This time, there is no need for Wolf to explain. Kanae and Kocho Shinobu can explain to Fuzukawa and Gyomei.
"According to Wolf, [God's Flying Snow] is a piece of divine paper stained with divine water. If you sprinkle it on yourself, you can let the power of the gods attach to you, enhancing your physical abilities while being extremely restrained against demons."
As she spoke, Kanae took out an exquisite wooden box from her waist and opened it in front of Busei and Gyomei. The pink sacred paper flashed with divine light, turning their faces pink.
Feeling the power contained in the magic paper, all their doubts about Feixue were dispelled at this moment, but there was only one question that kept lingering in their minds.
Hirata Sekiro...Who the hell are you?
At this moment, Shinobu Kocho suddenly asked a question.
"By the way, are there any restrictions on using the God's Flying Snow? For example, if you are not strong enough, you cannot use it?"
As soon as the words fell, the four of them looked at the wolf.
"…have no idea."
The wolf really doesn't know the answer to this question.
The pavilion fell into silence, but after a moment, Shinobu Kocho broke the silence.
"In that case... let's find someone who is weaker and give it a try!"
After saying this, a brisk figure ran out of the pavilion and rushed into the butterfly house.
"Really...Shinobu-chan can't change her impatience."
Seeing this, Kanae could only speak to everyone helplessly.
At the moment, the four of them could only sit in the pavilion and chat, and by the way, they negotiated the price of [God's Flying Snow] to 50 yen per piece. Wolf was very satisfied with this.
After a while, Shinobu Kocho's voice came from the Butterfly House not far away.
"Yes, it's right here, go in quickly."
At this time, a wolf heard a familiar voice.
"Hey! Are there really three pillars in there?! Why do they need a Sin-rank soldier like me?"
"Why would I lie to you? Stop asking so many questions and go in!"
"what!"
Following a scream, a man with a greasy hair parted in the middle crawled into the open space. When he looked up, he saw four people in haori sitting in the pavilion looking at him.
There really is a pillar!
He quickly stood up, straightened up stiffly and shouted loudly.
"Murata, the top-ranked soldier of the Demon Slayer Corps, is here to take charge!"
In the pavilion, Kanae was slightly stunned when she heard the words, and turned her head to look at the wolf beside her.
"Mr. Sekiro, this Murata..."
Wolf also didn't expect that Murata was also in the Butterfly House at this time, and nodded to Kanae to indicate that they were the same person.
"It's really fate."
Seeing the wolf's affirmative answer, Kanae had already made up her mind.
He walked out of the pavilion slowly, came in front of Murata, pulled out a somewhat broken Sun Sword from his waist and handed it to him.
"Now, the property returns to its original owner."
He stupidly took the Sun Blade that was taken away by the wolf, and was wondering why it was taken by the Pillar-sama. At this moment, the "Pillar" wearing a red haori in the pavilion looked more and more familiar.
"Ah! It's you, um, um... yes, Hirata Sekiro!"
Seeing that he recognized him, Wolf nodded slightly as an apology for snatching his knife.
Murata was about to say something when he was interrupted by the voice of Shinobu Kocho from behind him.
"Sister, after looking at the list of injured in Butterfly House, he is the most suitable one. He only suffered a leg injury and is almost fully recovered."
"Well...it's indeed very suitable..."
After thinking carefully, Kanae nodded slightly and said to Murata with seriousness in her eyes.
"Captain Murata, there is something crucial to the Demon Slayer Corps that needs your help. Are you willing?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Kanae said, Murata, who was originally a little embarrassed, suddenly became determined in his eyes, straightened his back and shouted loudly.
"If I can contribute to the Demon Slayer Corps, of course I'd like to!"
Seeing Murata's determination, Kanae's eyes were filled with relief. She patted Murata's shoulder in appreciation and took out [God's Snow] to explain it to him.
"Next I will throw these pieces of paper all over you and observe your reaction."
"Ok!"
Without asking any questions, Murata agreed and drew out his broken Nichirin sword. Kanae nodded, grabbed the remaining half of the sacred paper in the wooden box and sprinkled it on Murata's head.
Pink sacred paper fell over Murata's head like scattered cherry blossoms.
The eyes of the rest of the people were now focused on Murata. After seeing the piece of paper transform into divine light and merge into Murata's body, they widened their eyes and observed his changes carefully.
The next moment, a fierce pink flame suddenly ignited on Murata's Sun Blade, and two large purple-pink characters appeared behind him.
【祓い】
"Success?"
Having never seen the phenomenon of [God's Flying Snow], Busei asked the wolf in confusion.
"Hmm... probably..."
Facing Busou's question, Wolf's voice was somewhat hesitant. Using [God's Snow] would indeed ignite pink flames, but the amount just now should not be able to ignite such a huge flame...
Sure enough, the next moment, flames suddenly burst out from the Sun Blade, spreading from the blade to Murata's arm holding the handle, and then his entire body was burning with pink flames!
Murata was still surprised at the powerful force appearing in his body just now, but now he suddenly felt an unbearable burning sensation!
"So hot! So hot! So hot!"
The burning sensation was unbearable. In full view of everyone, a pink figure ran around the courtyard trying to extinguish the flames.
But the flame was like a maggot attached to the bone and difficult to extinguish. Finally, the panicked Murata saw the stone pond next to the pavilion in desperation.
Pfft!
Jumping into the stone pond, splashing water, several chubby goldfish were carried to the shore by the current and fluttered their bodies.
"Ah! My fish!"
Shinobu Kocho quickly ran to the stone pond and picked up a few poor goldfish. She then saw Murata, who was soaking in the stone pond but his pink flame showed no signs of going out.
It can even burn in water!
Before she could be shocked, Murata rushed out of the stone pond with a thud, and rolled around on the ground beside the stone pond with his body soaked in water until he was exhausted...
At this moment, as Murata lay on the ground motionless, the pink flames also faded away...
…………
The surroundings fell into silence, with only the sound of Shinobu Kocho putting the goldfish back into the pond and the sound of Murata breathing as he lay on the ground.
"... "
Finally, with a gloomy face, Busei turned his head stiffly towards the wolf and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Are you sure this thing is for human use?"
"No... It looks like it failed... Normally only the blade will ignite powder flames."
While the two were talking, Kanae ran over to Murata, who was lying on the ground unconscious, and squatted down to check on him with some concern.
After carefully turning his body over, he found that there was no sign of burns and he was just breathing heavily. He immediately felt relieved and spoke to the people behind him.
"It's nothing serious, he's just exhausted."
