Chapter 121 Letter
"Hahahaha!"
Cuckoo!
Glancing at the owl who was already playing with the children, the wolf was in a complicated mood. There was delicious food in front of him but he had no intention of tasting it.
Busikawa and Tianyin, who were sitting next to him, naturally noticed Wolf's abnormality. They stopped holding the food in their hands, and Tianyin looked worriedly at Wolf who was thinking silently.
"Mr. Hirata... is there something on your mind? Why don't you tell us so that we can help you..."
When the wolf heard Tianyin's worried words, his eyes moved slightly, and then he fell silent again and no longer reacted.
Seeing Wolf's reaction, Busei-Kawa frowned and spoke to Wolf frankly.
"Hey...if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be secretive. We will help you."
Hearing Busei's obvious dissatisfaction with the crowd's caring words, Wolf stood up and turned to leave, attracting everyone's attention. Under everyone's gaze, he turned around and looked at Busei with a hint of confusion.
"No...you can't..."
After saying this, he left everyone who hadn't reacted yet, and turned around and left.
In the restaurant, Busei looked at Lilang's back, veins gradually emerged on his face, and his expression became more and more ferocious.
"Asshole! What are you talking about!"
The sudden roar startled the rest of the people. They had never seen Busei get so angry with the wolf. Seeing him drawing his sword and about to charge forward, everyone rushed forward and hung on Busei.
Unable to move but extremely angry, Busei dragged everyone forward a few steps, but in the end he was unable to bear the weight of so many people, so he stopped and gritted his teeth.
"Asshole... He dares to look down on us even though he clearly cares about us!"
Then he reached out and grabbed the owl lying on top of his head, rubbing its head as if to vent his anger. At this time, Tianyin gently patted Busei on the back.
"Please calm down. Mr. Hirata must have his reasons for saying that..."
Just when Busei was about to say something, the old man who had been sitting in his original seat spoke quietly.
"What he is facing right now is indeed very dangerous. Even the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps may be dragged into this vortex... But I still hope... that you, as his friends, can help him."
After saying that, he took the napkin from the table, wiped his mouth, and spoke in a deep voice to everyone.
"Well...see you later."
After the old man left, only the group of people who came with Wolf were left in the restaurant. Putting the knife back into the sheath, Busei's anger had subsided. He was thinking about the old man's words and the wrong details about Wolf's recent days.
Could it be... related to that strange flame...
In that case... it makes sense for Hirata to say that...
While Busui was lost in thought, Muichiro took the opportunity to get close to Busui and rescued the owl from Busui's big hands under the owl's moved gaze.
He ran back to his brother and Inosuke, looked at Busui with lingering fear, and muttered softly.
"How scary... This is the first time I've seen these two people quarrel like that... It's never happened before..."
Hearing his brother's mumbling, Ichiro nodded in agreement. When Busei drew his sword just now, he really thought that the two would fight.
At this time, the wolf who left the restaurant naturally heard the roar of Busei, but he just paused and continued to walk towards his room.
Along the way, the cool autumn breeze could not blow away the depression in the wolf's eyes.
Although he had found his reason to fight and kill the enemy, and would not be easily infected by Shura's murderous intent, if he took the initiative to use Shura's power, there was still a risk of losing control.
After losing control, Wolf... no, what Shura would do. Wolf knew it better than anyone else.
Along the way, the wolf was thinking about whether there were other ways, but he never expected that just when the wolf was about to return to the room, a familiar crow cawed twice and then fell on the corridor floor.
"Here is your letter, Mr. Hirata."
He lifted his leg and handed the letter tied to it to the wolf.
I don’t know why, even though there is a crow like me who can pass messages, the Butterfly Sisters and Mr. Hirata still have to communicate through letters. However, as a crow, it doesn’t need to know so much.
After taking the letter, the wolf, who had no food on him, fed half a pill to the crow, hesitated for a moment, and then unfolded the letter.
The beginning of the letter clearly shows that it is written in Kanae's tone, and the writing style is full of tenderness.
Kanae told Wolf about Minako's current healthy condition and told him to rest assured and look for a way to restore Minako's health. Minako is now being taken care of by Butterfly House.
Ke Xin's writing style suddenly changed halfway through, from gentle to lively, and one could feel the other person's agility between the lines. Wolf seemed to see Xiaonin snatching the paper and pen under Kanae's doting gaze.
The letter described all the interesting things that happened in the Butterfly House in the past few days, especially a long paragraph teasing Murata, who was unharmed while all his teammates were injured and who brought his teammates to the Butterfly House.
Seeing this, the corners of the wolf's mouth slightly raised, and the suppressed emotions of the past few days were relieved a little.
He continued to look at what Xiaonin wrote next in the letter, and his eyes were slightly stunned as he kept scanning it.
The letter reads:
I know you must feel bad that Minako has become what she is now, but if there is something you can't do alone, please don't bear it alone. Try to believe in us, believe in your friends.
He raised his hand and gently brushed across the beautiful handwriting. A feeling he didn't know how to describe surged into his heart. He continued to read to the bottom of the letter in a daze.
Addendum: I have been practicing Ashina Style. Although the power is not that strong yet, I can use Ichimonji very standardly! However, my Cross Slash is still not very standard like yours, haha.
Finally... please keep your hairpins safe...
"Ah…"
Seeing the wolf at the end of the letter, he touched the hair accessory in his arms and chuckled subconsciously.
Placing the letter next to the hair accessories, most of the hesitation in her heart disappeared at this moment. She sat cross-legged on the ground, wrote the reply and handed it to Zhu Ya, then turned around and looked in the direction of the people behind her. Her sight seemed to be able to penetrate the wall.
Do you believe me, friends? Try it.
In the restaurant, Busui, who was sitting at his seat and thinking about something, suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the corridor. Everyone noticed his movement and looked in the direction of Busui's sight.
Light footsteps were heard in the corridor. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear them at all. As the footsteps got closer, the figure of the wolf appeared in everyone's sight.
First he glanced at Busei who was standing on his seat, then the wolf looked around and bowed slightly to everyone.
"…I have something I would like to ask for your help…"
