Chapter 101 Conversation under the Moon
"Hahaha!! Let's give this food to the great mountain king - Hashibira Inosuke!"
"........."
Watching Inosuke making strange poses and saying strange words, the three of them fell into silence. The only sounds left in the camp at night were the crackling of firewood and the sounds of the Tokito brothers playing around.
At this time, Tianyin spoke up to break the silence.
"What's wrong with this child..."
It's a pity that no one could answer. Busei looked at him as if he was a fool, while Wolf's expression remained calm. He just looked at Inosuke's pig head with some curiosity.
...feels...well made...
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him and the looks they gave him were quite strange, he immediately grunted angrily and two streams of hot air blew out of the pig nose on his headgear.
The beautiful eyes in the pig's head turned, looking back and forth between Busei and the wolf, feeling the feedback from the touch of its skin.
The white-haired scarred man looked stronger, but the fighting spirit emanating from the other man seemed to be about to pierce his skin.
When a normal person faces two opponents, he or she will choose the weaker one.
But... Inosuke is obviously not a normal person, he was raised by wild boars!
Awesome! I chose you!
Feeling the tingling pain like needles on his skin, Inosuke felt extremely excited, and two streams of hot air spurted out of his pig nose.
He bent down slightly, stepped forward, and rushed towards the wolf like an arrow, roaring loudly as he rushed.
"Pigs swoosh!"
Seeing Inosuke suddenly attack, Busui was startled at first, his eyes hesitated, and his hand moved slightly, but when he saw that his target was the wolf, he silently put it down.
He turned his head and looked at the wolf, wanting to see how the wolf would deal with this strange child.
Facing Inosuke who was rushing towards him like a real wild boar, the wolf stood still and watched Inosuke get excited and shout to the wolf.
"You must be scared by me, haha!"
"Pigs swoosh!"
He exerted force with his feet again, and his body flashed again, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of the wolf!
Just when he excitedly thought he had successfully pounced on the wolf, he saw the wolf leap lightly and disappear from his sight.
So fast!
He secretly praised himself in his mind, and with the help of his own body's strong flexibility, Inosuke's neck was bent as if it had no bones, allowing him to lift his head.
But just when he raised his head to get a clearer look at the wolf, a pair of big feet stepped on his face with such force that it even deformed the wild boar hood.
Boom!
At this moment, Inosuke's consciousness disappeared instantly, and his body fell straight to the ground. Wolf used the force to do a somersault and landed steadily, looking at Inosuke's body lying on the ground and his hood that fell to the side.
The gentle movement of my feet recalled the feeling just now.
...It's my first time stepping on someone's face...
Then he walked forward and picked them up one in each hand and handed them to Tianyin who was about to take it. He took the pig head in his hand and played with it for a while, and found that it was actually made of a real wild boar.
Tianyin, who took Inosuke, looked at Inosuke in her arms with a complicated expression.
"Even though he's a strange child... we can't just ignore him... Let's keep him for one night."
After hearing what Tianyin said, Fuzugawa and Lang naturally had no objection, but the Tokito brothers were also unconscious due to the flames of the Divine Snowfall burning away their physical strength during the fight, and were unable to express their opinions.
Just like that, after the wolf offered to keep watch tonight, Tianyin and the three children wrapped in blankets lay beside the warm campfire and fell asleep quietly.
Busei sat by the campfire with his eyes closed to calm himself in case of any unexpected incidents. Time passed slowly. After the wolf added firewood to the campfire again, his heart trembled. His calm eyes turned slightly and looked into the dark woods beside the camp.
Are you coming...
He stood up and was about to take a step when he saw Busei with his head tilted beside him, his eyelashes moving slightly. He paused, stared at Busei and thought for a moment, and a small purple pot appeared out of thin air in the wolf's hand.
Instead of breaking the pot like Muichiro did, Wolf gently placed the pot under Busou, opened the lid, and a purple mist floated in front of Busou.
The trembling eyebrows became steady after a few breaths by Busei, and then his tense body relaxed, and he fell to the ground, falling into a deep sleep with purple mist lingering around him.
After doing all this, the wolf walked boldly into the forest with a calm face and a steady pace, but soon reached the end of the depths of the forest.
This is a barren cliff with no vegetation. Below the cliff is another valley hundreds of meters away from here. It is pitch black all around, and only the moonlight from the full moon rising high in the sky dimly illuminates this place.
In the moonlight, the wolf looked straight ahead without moving his eyes.
Under the huge bright moon, a dark figure like a charred corpse stood on the cliff. A closer look revealed some red sparks on the body that flickered with the rise and fall of its breathing.
At this moment, the figure had his back to the wolf, his hands on the hilt of the knife at his waist, looking up at the bright moon, not knowing whether he was waiting or reminiscing about the past. After hearing the wolf's faint footsteps, he turned around, revealing his iconic six eyes.
Looking at this familiar figure that shouldn't be here, Wolf was not surprised at all. He had sensed its fleeting presence several hours ago.
Although it was more secretive than the evil ghost hiding underground, the wolf was still extremely sure of his existence. He thought that he could lure it out by deliberately sending everyone away, but he waited for a long time in the direction where the breath came from but it didn't show up.
The wolf had no choice but to return to the camp and wait until late at night to make further plans.
Sure enough, just now that aura appeared again...
"Kuroshibo... or should I call you Tsugakuin Iwakatsu... why are you here..."
Hearing this name that had not been mentioned for a long time, Kokushibo was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and did not ask Wolf why he knew his real name, but answered Wolf's question.
"…Because of the flame…the flame in you ignited for a moment yesterday and then quickly died down…but I still followed the flame that was burning me all the time and found this place…"
Hearing this, Wolf frowned. Even though he did not feel Kokushibo's murderous intent, he still placed his hand on Kusabimaru and asked in a deep voice.
"what you up to……"
It seemed that he really had something to talk to the wolf about. At this moment, Kokushibo answered every question, but his expression was a little complicated.
"I...want to meet someone...a person who has been dead for hundreds of years..."
Kokushibo quickly answered his question, but Wolf's frown did not relax. Instead, his expression became cold and the Kusabumaru was unsheathed in an instant.
"...You want to revive the dead... Why are you looking for me?"
Seeing Wolf drawing his sword, Kokushibo's face remained calm. He pointed at the sparks flashing on his body, staring at Wolf with his six eyes and speaking word by word.
"…It was this red flame…that made me see those scenes…"
