Chapter 88 New Commission
thump.
There was a knock on the door, but the wolf inside ignored it and just stared at the ghost Buddha's dark blue fire in a daze.
Seeing no one respond, the person outside took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
A petite figure walked into the room, her big lavender eyes couldn't help but look away when she saw the wolf's appearance, and she felt a little sad for the wolf in her heart.
The person who came to visit was Shinobu Kocho, who took Minako away and gently coaxed her to calm down and sleep.
After Kanae also went there, Shinobu, who was a little worried about Wolf, first went back to his and his sister's room, but after finding that Wolf had left, he came here again.
After hesitating for a moment, Shinobu slowly walked to the wolf and sat down. Looking at her lifeless eyes, he was about to speak but his mouth seemed to be blocked. The bitterness in his heart was about to overflow from his chest.
I've never seen a wolf like this before...
"Minako has already fallen asleep..."
Shinobu spoke softly, hoping that chatting would bring Wolf back to his senses, but the wolf still stared at Netherfire blankly.
"…Is there anything we can help you with…"
Seeing that the wolf didn't say anything, Shinobu didn't lose heart and continued to say caring words to the wolf, but the wolf still ignored her.
"..."
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a fire rising in my heart for no reason. It wasn't anger, but more like a sense of injustice for the wolf's self-abandonment.
He reached out and grasped the wolf's shoulders, his arm muscles bulging, and without the wolf making any effort to resist, he lifted it up.
Snapped!Snapped!
The angry Shinobu held the wolf with one hand and slapped his shoulder hard with the other hand, while yelling loudly.
“Cheer up!!”
The sound was so loud that the patients, who were frightened by the wolf and unable to sleep, huddled in their beds and trembled all over. After listening carefully, they found that it seemed to be the voice of the younger sister of the Butterfly House sisters.
So the shaking started even more violent.
very scary…
Under the dual attack of the pain on his shoulder and the sound, Wolf's eyes finally showed a glimmer of light. Looking at the Shinobu in front of him with a puffy face like a goldfish, he slowly spoke.
"…It's my fault that Minako became like this…"
The luster in his eyes was about to disappear after he finished speaking, but this moment was noticed by Shinobu in time.
Damn it, don’t go back to the way you were just now!
As he thought this in his mind, his brain didn't have time to think of the best solution. His face turned grim and he punched the wolf in the stomach. The physical discomfort made the wolf bend over.
The confusion in my heart was diluted by the pain, and an inexplicable thought flashed through my mind.
Hmm... Hexianyilang's palm strike is comparable...
Then he raised his head and looked at Kocho Shinobu in confusion, who was beating him for unknown reasons.
At the same time, Shinobu also saw the confusion in Wolf's eyes. Although his face flushed with embarrassment, his goal was achieved after all. He looked at Wolf and spoke loudly while pretending to be calm.
"In that case, then find a way to change Minako back! Don't you two value each other the most? Don't give up on yourselves here!"
Watching the wolf's eyes becoming brighter, Shinobu remembered the interesting things Minako had told him about wolves when they were chatting a few days ago. Although Minako's expression was strange during the conversation, Shinobu remembered it very clearly.
'Sometimes I call out Mr. Wolf's name and give him instructions as if he were a commission. He will be very happy and motivated! It's interesting, isn't it?'
Thinking of this, Shinobu blushed and stood up straight, speaking seriously to the wolf in front of him.
"Hirata Sekiro, I now ask you to find a way to change Minako back, and then... smile from the bottom of your heart again!"
After saying that, she looked at her body and found that she had nothing on her body... except for the butterfly hairpin her sister gave her on her head.
She raised her hand to take off the hairpin, and slowly let her long hair fall down and drape over her shoulders, and she said with some reluctance and guilt.
"This... this is my advance payment. When you complete the commission... return the hairpin to me... and I'll give you a better reward!"
After saying that, he lowered his head with a red face and looked away. He didn't hear the wolf's voice and didn't dare to look at it.
After hearing Shinobu's words, the wolf paused, and the light in his eyes returned to normal when Shinobu finished his words.
thump.
The sound of knees hitting wooden boards was heard, and Shinobu raised his head from where he had lowered it.
At first glance, I saw the wolf's expression return to normal, and then I saw him half-kneeling on the ground, taking the hairpin from his hand, putting it carefully in his arms, with a serious expression on his face and whispering.
"learn."
Seeing the wolf like this, Shinobu was stunned at first, then a smile broke out on her face and she stretched out her hand, wanting the wolf to pull her up.
boom!
But at this moment, the door that Shinobu had gently closed was kicked open, and a discordant voice was heard.
"You little brat! Why are you yelling so late at night? Don't think that just because you are Butterfly's sister I will..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the scene in the room. His originally fierce expression instantly turned into embarrassment and awkwardness, and a rare blush appeared on Busikawa's ferocious face.
"excuse me…"
I turned and walked out of the room, gently closed the door, and returned to my room, but I was sure it would be difficult to fall asleep tonight.
Seeing that Busei was acting so abnormally, Wolf was extremely confused. In his mind, the only thing that was puzzled was why Shinobu Kocho wanted to hit him.
Shinobu understood why Fuzukawa was like that, and she blushed and shyly ran out of the room to find her sister.
The wolf was left alone in the house, wondering what was happening.
After a moment, Wolf sat cross-legged next to the Demon Buddha again, looking at the Hellfire, but this time he was no longer confused, thinking in his mind how to restore Minako to normal.
The flickering netherworld fire swayed in the air, and time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the sun had risen from the mountains in the east.
Wolf thought for the whole night without closing his eyes. To be more precise, almost everyone in the Butterfly House suffered from insomnia last night.
There were Minako's screams in the first half of the night, Shinobu Kocho's encouragement at midnight, and the sound of Busei kicking the door in the second half of the night, plus the "ghosts" seen by some people.
Fortunately, after a night of thinking, the wolf finally made some progress. It was the item that the wolf had kept among his possessions but never knew how to use.
Battle residue.
What disappeared were the beautiful memories between Minako and the wolf. It is even possible that these memories were replaced by a scene in which the wolf transformed into Shura and killed all living things.
The remaining battle remnants of the battle memory are the only items that Wolf has that are related to his memory. Now he can only hope...
But I don't even know how to use it now...
With a barely perceptible sigh, the wolf raised his head, looked at the sunlight shining into the room through the window and the sun rising outside the window, thinking secretly in his heart.
…We can only take one step at a time…
Thinking of this, the wolf walked out of the room and the first thing he saw was Sanzhu, who had lived next to him last night and was about to go downstairs.
Busikawa, whose eyes were swollen from not sleeping well, looked at Wolf with a complicated look, then turned and walked downstairs.
And Uzui, with big dark circles under his eyes and a look of encouragement, stepped forward, patted Wolf on the shoulder, and spoke firmly.
"If there's anything I can help you with, be sure to come to me!"
After saying that, he gave Wolf a gorgeous thumbs up, and then followed closely in the footsteps of Busei.
Uzui, who has excellent hearing, naturally heard what happened last night, but he didn't show up. He stayed in the house to help the wolf think of a solution all night, but in the end, it was fruitless...
Yiyong, with a normal and radiant expression, looked at the two people behaving strangely, hesitated for a moment, and then also walked in front of the wolf and spoke calmly.
“…I don’t know what happened, but…come on.”
Then, under the wolf's gaze, he walked down the stairs.
It seems that in the entire Butterfly House... only Giyuu fell asleep...
