Chapter 143 Tears
Boom boom!
The roar of the engine sounded outside the Butterfly House. When it was almost at the gate, the sound gradually decreased. Two cars, one in front and one behind, stopped at the gate of the Butterfly House.
The car door opened, revealing the Tokito brothers and Inosuke who were keeping their heads down and silent. Their faces were dark, as if something bad had happened on their way home.
The three of them jumped out of the car one after another. The moment they touched the ground, the Tokito brothers' legs went weak and they fell to their knees. They could no longer bear the strange feeling in their stomachs and their mouths opened wide.
"Ugh..."
Some dirty things poured out of the mouths of the two brothers. The bitterness in their mouths made them burst into tears. After wiping away their tears and snot, Muichiro muttered in a hoarse voice.
"That's terrible...I will never sit here again...Ugh..."
Inosuke, who seemed to be relatively normal, looked down at Muichiro who was kneeling on the ground with contempt and chuckled disdainfully.
"My younger brother is too weak. Look, I am still fine!"
Ichiro, who was supporting himself on the ground with his hands, heard Inosuke's words and looked up at him in disbelief.
"You shameless bastard... Ugh!"
He was about to curse something, but the acid in his stomach surged up again, interrupting what he was about to say.
At this time, in another car, Wolf with a calm expression and Tianyin with a worried face came over, first patted the backs of the two brothers, then looked around and asked Inosuke in confusion.
"Where's Fuzugawa?"
Before Inosuke could answer, the wolf next to him had already found where the Busei was. Although there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, he still greeted Tianyin.
"here."
Seeing the confusion in the wolf's eyes, Tianyin walked towards the wolf curiously, but saw Busei holding the front of the car and vomiting violently under the desperate gaze of the hidden unit driver.
Covering his mouth with his hands and exclaiming in surprise, Tianyin quickly helped Busei up.
"With Mr. Busui's physical condition, how could that be possible!"
At this time, Ichiro, who had recovered, was finally able to say what he had not finished saying just now. He raised his hand and pointed at Inosuke who was crossing his arms with a proud look on his face, and shouted in despair.
"Because this guy just vomited in the car! It stinks!"
After hearing what Yuichiro said, Tianyin subconsciously wanted to laugh out loud, but when she saw Busei's painful expression, she forced herself to hold it back.
After a while, the Tokito brothers and Busei recovered and together they intimidated Inosuke with their eyes for a long time, but it was of little use.
The wolf, who had not spoken for a long time, looked at Tianyin beside him and spoke softly to him.
"…Are you leaving…?"
Tianyin, who was watching Busei and the others "playing around", heard the sound, turned around, smiled gently at the wolf, and then nodded in acknowledgment.
"As the matriarch of the Demon Slayer Corps, I can't leave for too long."
Having said this, Tianyin paused for a moment, looked serious, and spoke to the wolf sincerely.
"These days, thanks to Mr. Hirata's care, even though the time was short and many unexpected things happened, I still feel very happy."
After saying this, he smiled and bowed slightly to the wolf.
"Thank you!"
The wolf also bowed in return, thanking Tianyin calmly but sincerely.
Next, after saying goodbye to Fuzugawa, the Tokito brothers, and Inosuke, Amane got into the car that was not contaminated by Inosuke's vomit and drove to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
Everyone watched Tianyin leave. Lang and Fushigawa walked towards the butterfly house, while the three children followed behind them with reluctance to leave and a little fear of the new environment.
As soon as they entered the yard, the fragrant scent of flowers lingered on everyone's noses. The three children all looked at the wisteria tree in the middle of the yard, which was still lush and leafy even in autumn and winter.
Just as the three were sighing, a female voice with a hint of doubt and nervousness sounded from the other side of the tree.
"Master Fengzhu, who is that person next to you? And what is that pig-head next to him? ... Is it a ghost?!"
Looking in the direction where the sound came from, everyone saw a young girl with twin ponytails holding freshly dried clothes standing under the tree with a slightly frown on her face.
But Busei looked at the girl's appearance carefully, searched for the corresponding name in his memory, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke to her.
"Kanzaki Aoi...right."
Seeing the girl nod, Busei breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the wolf beside him.
"This is the distinguished guest of the Demon Slayer Corps."
Then he pointed at the three children beside him, rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
"These three things are my stepchildren."
After hearing Fuzugawa's explanation, Xiaokui nodded slightly, but then pointed at Inosuke who was wearing a hood with some suspicion, and said with a questioning tone.
"That pig-headed man too?"
Seeing that the girl had been targeting him since the beginning, the hot-tempered Inosuke could no longer bear it and raised his fists and yelled at the girl.
"Asshole, I am the king of the mountain, not the stepson of this white-haired guy!"
This action obviously scared the girl, and she screamed and almost dropped the quilt in her hands. When Busui heard Inosuke addressing him, veins bulged on his forehead and he appeared behind Inosuke.
An iron fist hit the opponent on the head, and the Tokito brothers took this opportunity to pull off Inosuke's hood, revealing his pretty face, which was a little hideous due to the pain, but still very pretty.
The girl, who was originally frightened, was slightly stunned and a blush appeared on her face. At this moment, a call from the butterfly house woke the girl up, and she ran away in panic holding the bedding.
Looking at the girl's back as she left, Wolf asked Busei with some confusion.
"…I don't think…I've seen that girl in the Butterfly House…"
And Busei sighed at the wolf in annoyance, complaining for the first time.
"You've only been to the Butterfly House a few times... It's normal that you haven't seen it..."
After being retorted by Busei, Wolf nodded thoughtfully, and at this moment, two familiar figures walked out of the door of the Butterfly House, making Wolf's eyes slightly dull.
It was Shinobu holding the wooden sword, and Minako following behind her.
After coming to his senses, Wolf was about to step forward, but when he thought of the horrified expression on Minako's face that night, even though he knew Minako should have recovered, Wolf still took back his steps.
The two people who were originally chatting and laughing saw Xiaokui running into the Butterfly House with a strange look on her face, and out of curiosity, they looked in the direction where she was running.
With just one glance, the two saw a wolf standing in the crowd with a lonely look on his face. Minako's big eyes were immediately filled with surprise, then joy, and then she strode towards the wolf.
"Mr. Wolf, you are finally back!"
Seeing Minako calling out his name happily and lively, the wolf suddenly felt that the running around and the battle between life and death in the past few days had paid off at this moment.
A warm tear fell from his right eye down his cheek, and the wolf bent down slightly, opening his arms to Minako who ran towards him.
"…Well…I'm back…"
