Chapter 114 Is that so... What a pity...

It's over now...

The old man thought so in his heart, and pointed at the four people who were in a mess beside him with a look of despair, and looked at the wolf with a trembling voice.

"Then these are..."

Without waiting for the wolf to answer, Busei, who had been paying attention to that place, released his hand that was pressing down on Inosuke, bowed slightly, and was the first to respond.

"My name is Busuigawa, the Wind Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps."

As he said this, he looked at Inosuke who was struggling and shouting "I'll kill you", and Tokito's brother who was covering his mouth and trying hard to control him, and introduced them to the old man.

"These two are my stepsons. As for this guy..."

Before Fuzuigawa could finish his story, Inosuke opened his mouth wide and bit Ichiro's hand that was covering his hand, and yelled at the old man.

"He's the one who's going to kill you, you bastard!"

The old man looked at the violent pig-headed man in horror and thought that this must be a ghost.

But Busei covered his face helplessly and spoke to the old man after hesitating for a moment.

"This... is also my stepson..."

"Who are you... Ugh!"

He quickly covered Inosuke's mouth with his tooth-marked hand. With tears of pain in his eyes, Ichiro put his other hand on Inosuke's hood and whispered in his ear.

"shut up!"

“Hum…”

The slap made the hood tremble, and the slap made Inosuke groan twice before he calmed down.

The four demon-like people looked at the old man with their eyelids twitching, but out of politeness they still complimented him with trembling lips.

"Master Fengzhu and your stepchildren are really... handsome men."

After saying this, his face suddenly changed and he let out a strange cry as if he remembered something.

"Oh!"

After that, he waved to Uzui, signaling him to come over with his "stepsons".

"Master Fengzhu, please sit here for a while. I have to go find my granddaughter first."

After the four people came over, they poured a cup of tea for everyone, and then rushed towards the door while shouting Tianyin's name.

"Tianyin!"

The old man looked like he was anxiously looking for his granddaughter, but when he turned around to go out, he glanced at the wolf deeply, then rushed out of the door and continued to call Tianyin loudly.

The five people left in the small pavilion of the mansion looked at each other, and Busei looked helplessly at the wolf who was immersed in thought during the eye contact.

"So...what's going on?"

The thinking wolf was awakened by Busei's question and spoke after hesitating for a moment.

“…I think I recognized the wrong person…”

Yuichiro, who was standing by, curled his lips and took a sip from the teacup.

"What a foolish old man."

After hearing his brother's words, Wuyilang first followed suit and also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea like his brother, but the bitterness of the tea made his face wrinkled, but he still agreed with his brother.

"Yes, yes, Sister Tianyin must be heartbroken..."

When Inosuke, who had been calm, heard this, he suddenly became furious. He took off his hood and grabbed the teacup and poured the tea into his mouth in one breath without caring about the scalding heat.

Boom!

Inosuke slammed the teacup onto the table, exhaled a breath of hot air, and yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Ha! Damn old man, I'm going to teach him a lesson sooner or later!"

Looking at the steam rising from the tea in the cup, the wolf did not drink the tea. He always felt that the strange old man was not simple. During the conversation just now, he always looked behind him from time to time.

Sometimes his pupils would suddenly contract, as if... he seemed to be able to see things that others couldn't see...

But the old man ran out to look for Tianyin, and the wolf had no way to verify his idea. He could only sit quietly in the pavilion, waiting for the old man and Tianyin to come back.

………………

Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened. Only the setting sun in the sky was emitting a blood-red light, which illuminated the lake not far from the priest's residence blood-red, as if the huge lake was filled with blood.

Inside the mansion, the owl stood on the wisteria tree, its round head nodding frequently because it was drowsy.

Looking at the sun that was about to set completely in the distance, just when Busei was worried that the two would be in danger if they didn't come back after dark, he wanted to leave the mansion to find them and bring them back.

Footsteps were heard from outside the mansion. Tianyin, with tears in her eyes but a giggle on her face, followed the embarrassed old man and appeared in front of everyone.

But when he saw the wolf's calm face, the embarrassment on his face disappeared. His expression was solemn at first, then he smiled and turned to look at Tianyin behind him.

"Tianyin, it's getting late, go make a meal for everyone."

He turned his head and looked at the other three people including Busui Gawa, as if he didn't see Inosuke's aggressive behavior, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Master Fengzhu and my stepchildren, please help Tianyin. After all, there are many people eating here."

Finally his gaze fell on the wolf, and he spoke in a relaxed tone with a smile still on his face.

"As for Mr. Hirata...just chat with me for a while, haha."

Looking at his grandfather who looked a little strange, Tianyin seemed to have noticed something in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He believed that his grandfather would not do anything out of line.

After responding lightly, he slowly walked towards the house behind the pavilion, and did not forget to greet the four people of Busei when passing by.

Being a guest in someone else's house, Busei naturally could not refuse the host's request. He looked at the two people who were looking at each other with suspicion. After a moment, he and the Tokito brothers carried Inosuke and followed Amane away.

In the pavilion, the only people left were the old man and the wolf staring at each other, and the owl sleeping on the wisteria tree.

After a long while, making sure that Tianyin and the others had gone far away, the old man was the first to look away, walked into the pavilion, sat next to the wolf and spoke seriously.

"Tianyin and I have discussed the strange illness of your sister who is as close to you as a sister... I can tell you clearly that although the priest family does possess some mysterious powers, they cannot solve the problem."

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's heart skipped a beat, as if it was going to burst through his chest and jump into his hand. The old man understood... this was due to the fear of death in the human genes.

He tried to turn his head stiffly to look at the wolf beside him, but his neck seemed to be rusty, and made a creaking sound when he twisted it, and his lips turned white and trembled.

Gritting his teeth, the old man tried hard to turn his head towards the wolf, but the next moment, the scene he saw made his brain almost blank in an instant.

The cold face slightly tilted its head, and the eyes burning with red flames looked at himself. In the old man's eyes, the red karma in his heart instantly turned into flames and ignited.

Gradually eroding the pink and purple karma wrapped around the wolf, the monsters formed by the scarlet karma behind it roared in joy.

The roar was deafening, and the sharp claws stretched out to the wolf had never been so close, almost touching the wolf's body and dragging him to an unknown place.

With cold sweat pouring down, he fell to his knees, his vision blurry. The old man seemed to see himself turned into a charred corpse, lying in the burning ruins of the priest's residence.

But at this moment, a white shadow flew out from somewhere. It looked like a child. It hugged the wolf's neck and seemed to be saying something in his ear.

Slowly, the red flames faded from the wolf's eyes, revealing the clear eyes underneath, and the pink and purple karma covered the wolf's body again, while the scarlet monsters behind him let out mournful howls.

Looking at this scene, the old man couldn't help but be stunned, opening his mouth but unable to utter a word.

And the wolf's calm voice sounded at this time.

“…Is that so…That’s such a pity…”
