Chapter 110: Butterfly of Fate
As the wolf sank into the lake, the surface returned to calm, leaving only ripples from the falling raindrops.
On the lakeshore, heavy rain was pouring down. Everyone was drenched in the rain and didn't know what to do. Only Busei reacted quickly and urged everyone to stay away from the lakeshore, while he stayed there with a knife in his hand to provide support.
Looking at the lake surface with ripples caused by the heavy rain, Busei frowned slightly. He had seen how powerful wolves were and knew the mysterious power of wolves, but... facing the enemy hiding underwater, would it be too careless to choose to dive directly into the water to fight?
But just as this thought arose, the surface of the lake began to surge violently. Busei quickly raised the knife in front of him and focused all his attention on it.
boom!
A figure rushed out of the lake like a big fish out of water, flew into the air and landed steadily on the ground.
Wow.
The lake water hit the shore, and Uzui Kawai saw the flame in the figure's hand that had not disappeared. He put down the blade in his hand, and Wolf stood up with steady breathing and dropped the evil ghost head in his hand.
Secretly amazed at the wolf's powerful cardiopulmonary function, Busei asked it calmly.
"Is it the Twelve Demon Moons?"
Hearing Busei's question, Wolf kicked the head of the evil spirit, which had not yet dissipated, revealing the front of the evil spirit.
"No... just an ordinary ghost..."
While saying this, he thought to himself.
But the reward is good, it's a gourd seed.
And because Tianyin was worried that he had not gone far, he also walked over. He first expressed his gratitude to the other party for protecting Busei and Wolf, and then his expression was a little hesitant, but finally he looked at Wolf and said.
"Mr. Hirata is really something. He rushed into the lake in such a hurry that he got soaked. Not to mention the things he brought with him, it would be terrible if he caught a cold like Inosuke."
In response to Tianyin's concern, Wolf waved his hands and told her not to worry.
Ever since he was "blessed" by the power of Dragon's Heritage, the wolf, to whom death was commonplace, had never experienced any pain, even after coming to this world.
There is no need to worry about the items that the wolf carries. Most of the inexpensive items are placed among the items the wolf holds, and the gourd hanging around the waist will not be contaminated by the lake water.
Even when he was killing the evil ghost in the water just now, Wolf recalled the scene when he faced the headless monster in the water. In comparison, the evil ghost seemed much easier to deal with.
Thinking of this, the wolf suddenly remembered something, reached into his wet arms, and took out a butterfly-shaped hairpin.
Wolf was reluctant to put back the more valuable items into his possession, such as Minako's candy and the hairpin given to him by Shinobu Kocho.
Seeing that the white light still enveloped it and the hairpin remained intact even after being soaked in the water with the wolf, the wolf breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
After all, after I heal Minako, I have to return this to Shinobu, so I can't break it.
Ever since Shinobu Kocho gave him the hairpin that night, the familiar white light appeared again. Wolf thought that it would be used to resist Shura's killing desire just like Minako's Candy.
Having seen the side effects, the wolf was ready to keep it and never use it again, but when he saw the detailed introduction appearing on the hairpin, he was stunned.
【Butterfly of Fate
The hair ornament that Yakushi gave to Ninja, a butterfly, brought the two together.
As long as fate continues, life will never end! 】
At that time, I was thinking about Minako and didn't think carefully about the meaning of this description. I just thought it was good as long as I had nothing to do with Shura.
But now seeing the detailed introduction appearing on the hairpin again, Wolf was slightly dazed.
Does this mean... that I will be immortal if I carry this...
But a wolf with the power of Dragon's Blood should not die, which makes the wolf even more confused.
The wolf, lost in thought, forgot about the two people who were standing beside him in the rain watching him in a daze holding the hair accessories. However, the two people did not speak to remind him. Instead, they looked at the wolf's pensive expression with their own thoughts in their minds.
...What does it mean to suddenly take out this thing... Are you thinking about Butterfly's sister? It's not impossible...
By the way, Butterfly seems to have such a hair accessory... No, I'm not like that guy. I'm going to buy one for Butterfly.
Touching his chin, Busei thought so in his heart, while Tianyin beside him had a slightly red face and covered her mouth, but excitement could still be seen in her eyes.
If I remember correctly, this butterfly hair accessory is the hair accessory of the younger sister of the Butterfly Sisters. Could it be... so exciting!
Standing quietly in the rain, the three people had different thoughts in their hearts. The Tokito brothers who were hiding in the forest not far away looked at the three people with confusion in their hearts.
"What are these three doing?"
He complained out loud without thinking, and after saying it, Youichiro pulled Muichiro towards the three people.
The three of them reacted quickly. Busei and Amane coughed twice and looked at the Tokito brothers, while Wolf's expression was calm and he calmly put the hairpin back into his arms.
Seeing that only the Tokito brothers ran over, Busei asked hurriedly.
"Where's that pig-headed brat?"
The voice sounded somewhat helpless, and Ichiro explained to Busui Kawai with his eyes rolled.
"That guy was hiding with us at first, but he ran away after a while... He said something like rainy days are a good time for hunting..."
After listening to Yuichiro's description, Busei looked around with a dark face, but in the end he found nothing.
Tianyin's face showed worry again because Inosuke was still suffering from a cold. Fortunately, the rain in autumn and winter came and went quickly, so there was no need to worry about Inosuke getting wet in the rain.
But just when Tianyin was about to lead everyone to find Inosuke, the other party's rough laughter accompanied by a shrill cry reached everyone's ears.
The wolf's calm expression changed when he heard the howling sound.
...so familiar...
The next moment, Inosuke appeared in everyone's sight, with one hand on his waist and the other hand across his chest, holding an owl that was struggling and flapping its wings.
He ran towards the crowd to show everyone that he was the prey he had mentioned, but the very act of running scared the owl on his chest half to death.
"Hey! How about we eat this tonight? It looks fat but it's actually all hair. It must be very tasty if we strip it clean!"
Seeing Inosuke handing him the owl, Ichiro took it with trembling lips, held it in front of him and looked at the other party, his wide eyes full of pity.
Coo…coo…
It stretches out its legs, which are thicker than those of other birds, and shows the bird the letter tied on them.
After seeing this, just when Youchiro was about to complain about how old-fashioned this way of writing letters was, a wolf appeared behind him, took the letter and opened it.
"..."
Feeling Youzhilang's silence, Wolf looked at Xin and asked him.
"What's wrong……"
Shaking his head, Youichiro said somewhat guiltily.
"nothing!"
