Sato and Giyuu came back covered in morning dew.

The flesh-pink half-long-haired swordsman glanced at Tokito Muichiro who was pillowed on her lap, and said jokingly, "He is sleeping soundly."

Afterwards, he straightened his face again, just as he was about to rest next to the flower branch for a while, Tomioka Yoshiyuki snapped, sat down, and patted himself next to him, "Brother, sit down."

Sato stretched out his hand and patted the back of his head, then turned serious, and raised his finger at Huazhi: "Two bad news."

"There is no such thing as Jiguo Yueyan. Someone once saw a man with rose red vertical pupils going in and out at night."

Onitsuka Hanae was startled.

"And the evil ghost in front of Mr. Yuanyi's grave also disappeared."

Hearing this, Onitsuka Hanae, who straightened her back just now, and her whole body tensed, thought for a while, as if thinking of something, slowly smiled and relaxed a lot.

"Hey!! What time is it, it's time for breakfast!"

Shi Tou Ichiro pushed open the window angrily, looked at his younger brother who was sleeping like a piglet, immediately raised his eyebrows, and jumped out directly from the window threshold.

"Muichiro! Wuichiro! Get up quickly! You eat, play and sleep all day long, and you are getting lazy now!" He pushed his brother's back mercilessly, while stretching out his hand to pinch his nose, Soon, Muichiro, who was snoring from sleep, opened his eyes in a daze.

Shitou Wuichiro didn't feel angry about getting up, rubbed his eyes, first smirked at his brother, then turned his head and saw his favorite sister Huazhi, and immediately flew over like a puppy.

His strength was not strong, but Onitsuka Hanae blinked, and suddenly leaned back, as if she was about to be knocked down——

Instead of falling, she fell into an embrace.

Shitou Wuichiro raised his head and looked behind her curiously. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Huazhi sister put her finger up and put it on her lips, making a secret gesture to him.Brother Ichiro and the two swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Squad didn't seem to notice the quick meal. Muichiro nodded seriously, and whispered, "I'll keep this as a secret with Sister Huazhi!"

Onizuka Hanae took advantage of the situation and sat up straight, hooked her little finger with him with a smile, then stood up as if nothing had happened, clapped her hands and said, "It's getting late, let me try today's breakfast."

"Please, Mr. Sato and Mr. Yiyong, go and buy four more bowls and four plates~" She entered the kitchen and counted, then turned her head and said.

Shi Tou Yilang broke his fingers, and asked suspiciously: "That's not right, Hua Zhi, did you count one more?"

"No, I want to make one more, and then fulfill a wish I once had." She bent her eyebrows, and did not look at the doubtful Ichiro, but set her gaze on a farther place, "Although the craftsmanship is clumsy, I still want Master Yuan to taste it."

Ji Guoyuan lowered his head and glanced at his hands, there was still a bit of unreal warmth on the hands that had just touched her shoulders.

He couldn't think of the pain that was suppressed on his body because he left Taoyuan Township without permission, and he couldn't think of what kind of punishment he would have when he returned to Taoyuan Township. , with one look, defeated, obediently walked to the kitchen, found a corner, then squatted down and raised his head to look at her——

daze.

The kitchen was small, Onitsuka Hanae pushed Ichiro's shoulder and led them all out, and then gently closed the door.

The sound of chopping vegetables was regular and rhythmic, and the bright sunlight that shone from the window above the chopping board in the early morning shone on her porcelain-white face, even giving it an unreal sense of transparency.

She stepped on her footsteps lightly, pacing back and forth in this square inch, wearing a pink cherry-colored kimono like a beautiful butterfly, in the small space, it seemed that even the breath was slowly blending.

Without Ji Guoyuan, he couldn't appear in front of her.Oniwu Tsuji Mucan and his elder brother are ghosts, so they can see him, but Onitsuka Hanae, who is still in the present world, cannot see him.

The deep gap between this world and the next is like a moat.

Occasionally, she would get very close to him.When lifting his feet to reach the dishes above him, when bending down to find the vegetables in the basket next to him, or as if embracing him, when reaching for the eggs behind him...

Ji Guoyuan stretched out his hand and touched his ear, it was hot and numb.Then, belatedly, he thought, this is what Mr. Bai Ze said about being shy.

The breakfast was prepared quickly, and although it wasn't very delicate and luxurious, it was surprisingly delicious.

Shi Tou Yilang said in a low voice: "I thought you, Hua Zhi, were the kind of lady who couldn't even tell the difference between a seedling and a leek!"

Onitsuka Hanae served a bowl of soup for Muichiro, who was busy eating, and turned around and said: "I used to cook a lot. There was only one diner, but I was a little angry when I didn't cook crab meat for the first time. Afterwards, it was unexpectedly rewarding."

Hearing her modest words, Shitou Ichiro puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction, "What kind of face reward?! It would be nice if someone cooks for you, but you still pick and choose, Hua Zhi, who did you cook for him before? Well!"

Satu and Yoshiyuki, who raised their faces from the bowl, silently nodded in agreement, and saw her smile with crooked eyebrows, and shook her head slightly, "That's not the case."

A man with a messy bandage all over his body will open the heavy curtains, letting the sunlight pass through a clean and bright floor-to-ceiling window, and fall on the coffee table with a few dishes of ordinary dishes, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of vegetarian soup.

While unwillingly muttering something like "Huazhi is getting more and more misbehaving, and there is no drunk crab meat today", he would puff up his cheeks slightly and eat all the food.

Being able to make Mr. Dazai, who is so thin that his ribs protrude from his chest, become fatter was her only goal when she went to the kitchen every day to cook and study cooking skills seriously.

[It is an honor for a cook to be able to cook a meal for someone you like, and there is no need for the other party's response, because all the feelings can be conveyed to the other party through the food in the mouth. 】

Onizuka Hanae recalled this sentence that she didn’t know where she read it. She raised the corners of her mouth and didn’t continue the topic. Instead, she asked: “The ultimate goal of the Demon Slayer Squad is to hunt down the King of Demons. Mr. Sato and Mr. Giyu should know this name?"

Back then, after getting Wu Mi's real name, Onitsuka Hanae left a little message.This is a little skill Master Yan Sheng taught her, as careful as he is, she should not ignore it.

Sure enough, when it came to business, Sato and Yiyong also looked more serious and nodded, not surprisingly.

"Then, I think the Jiguo Moon Banquet we met just now..." She paused for a moment, then dropped a bomb, "It's Ghost Dance Tsuji Wumi."

"..." The atmosphere was suddenly silent.

Crackling bang——

Satoshi turned his head to look at the source of the sound, Tomioka Yoshiyuki apologized with a dull face, then kicked the broken plates and porcelain bowls by his feet, and tried to hide the sauce-stained sleeves behind him, Avoid the sharp eyes of the senior brother.

Sato: ...The older you get, the more mature others are, but he is simply growing backwards.

However, it is precisely this childishness that needs to be taken care of by others and the stupefaction that does not understand the atmosphere. No matter how strong the ghost is, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Sato dare not die.The reason--

It is enough to make my sister's clothes into haori and wear them on my body!If he is really dead, Yiyong's clothes will definitely become even more strange!

Of course, thanks to the active atmosphere [? Tomioka Yoshiyuki from ], the stagnant atmosphere just now finally relaxed a little bit, Satu took a deep breath, and said puzzledly: "I need to ask the reason. If there is a way to identify Onimai Tsuji, then I will be able to find it faster. Him, and then destroy him!"

Onitsuka Hanae thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't think so."

"400 years ago, after Ghost Mai Tsuji captured me, he once gave me his ghost blood, trying to turn me into a ghost."

Sato and Giyuu were startled, but when they thought that not only was she not afraid of wisterias, she didn't have sharp fangs and nails, she wasn't even afraid of the sun, it didn't look like a ghost at all!

After Guoyuan tilted his head in doubt and became a god, his transparent world seems to have become more powerful. Under these eyes, he can clearly see the healthy and vital energy flowing in the blood vessels of Huazhi's body. Vibrant blood, her heart is completely different from that of a ghost, it is the fire of the soul that is more beautiful than the skin.

As the pillar, Sato reacted very quickly, and quickly connected things together, and finally took a breath, and came to a conclusion, "No wonder he tried so hard to get close to you!! Hua Zhi, you are hopeless It's very important, so I thought, no, I'm asking you to go to Ghost Slayer with us."

Thanks to the father-like care of the head of the Demon Slayer Squad 400 years ago, Onitsuka Hanae was just about to nod her head in agreement when suddenly she felt something and sighed helplessly, "Sorry, Mr. Time to leave."

Because he had an experience before, Saitu quickly reacted. Although he was a little disappointed at parting so soon, he also said goodbye to Huazhi readily, and explained to the confused Ichiro and Muichiro After a while.

Shi Tou Ichiro looked at her with his mouth pursed, then turned his face away.

Instead, Muichiro ran up to her and hugged her seriously, and said reluctantly, "I think I will be able to meet Sister Huazhi in the future. I will work hard to train and become stronger to protect my brother and Sister Huazhi."

"I think—" Tomioka Yoshiyuki was very happy to encourage him, but Tokito Ichiro told him to shut up, and then the awkward brother turned his head with his arms around his chest, "Since we know we can meet again, What's the point of cuddling! Wuichiro, you loosen the flowering branches, she still has to go to the grave!"

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen and brought out the dishes, and handed them to her, "Well, since it's been your wish all along, let's go now!"

Onitsuka Hanae bent down and hugged him with a smile, and soon separated, "See you in the future."

There seemed to be a bit of cherry blossoms on her body, just like the rain of cherry blossoms that night, it was a look that Shitou Ichiro had never seen before.

In front of the lonely grave, she slowly squatted down, arranged the dishes neatly, and then smiled at a certain place.

"If you can't talk, and you can't let me see, can you come closer to me?"

The clever girl not only quickly guessed the cause and effect, felt his presence who could not appear, but also said such heart-shattering words.

Onitsuka Hanae sat down slowly, propped her chin, and closed her eyes.

Withered and yellow leaves fluttered and fell on the grass with a crackling sound, the sun shone lazily, and in the soothing background music like autumn whispers, she felt the grass beside her being gently pressed down The voice suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

"I have also heard some legends about the other world and this world, so, will you be harmed or punished if you appear in this world?"

really.

Ji Guoyuan thought about it, this would be her most concerned issue.He shook his head, and then remembered in Huazhi's bright and empty eyes that she couldn't see himself.

As if feeling the loss in his heart in an instant, the girl stretched out her hand, spread out her palm, and placed it in front of him.

"If you can't let me hear it, just write it in the palm of my hand."

Ji Guoyuan froze for a moment, and saw her say with a little slyness: "When I fell on purpose just now, I felt your presence."

That's amazing, Huazhi.

Compared with a mediocre person like me who is trapped in a difficult situation and drifts with the tide, no matter it is hundreds of years ago or now, it has never changed, and you who have always been very active in finding hope in the difficult situation are better than hope itself. A more dazzling existence.

He raised the corners of his lips, his crimson eyes were full of the only existence in front of him, and he smiled gently.

Onitsuka Hanae felt the touch of lightly brushing against the palm of her hand.

[It's okay, I'm fine. 】

It was very brief, with only a pause at the last moment, as if there was something else to say, but he couldn't say it.

Onitsuka Hanae was silent for a while, then held his hand instead.

"Does it hurt?"

Sure enough, she guessed it.

Without the blessings of the witch, without shrines, and without believers, how could it be so easy for the gods to descend into the world, and it is also thanks to him that he lost his godhead without hesitation, but in exchange for staying in this world for one night every year.

But the pain is only the physical body, compared to the joy from the soul, it is nothing worth mentioning.

Onitsuka Hanae opened her mouth, but for some reason, she could vaguely understand what Yuan-sama is thinking now.

So, she silently chose to accompany her.

At this time, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the clear sky, blocking the sun, and it seemed that lightning and thunder pierced the sky.

Onitsuka Hanae felt the breath being suddenly lifted up around her, and for some reason, she was a little flustered, so she grabbed the hand of the person who was eager to leave without hesitation.

"God of Fire, you violated the rules of the gods, escaped from Taoyuan Township privately, and disturbed the world, and you are still waiting for your punishment!" Accompanied by thunderous reprimands, Onitsuka Hana raised her head and saw the arrogant figure on the clouds. The figure exudes a dazzling divine light, making it impossible to look directly at it.

The... god of fire?

She felt that the holding hand wanted to leave strongly, and she held him even tighter, pulling him without hesitation.

So what if it is a god?

"There is a saying that after three days of farewell, you should look at me with admiration. Please don't underestimate me."

"I don't know what the God of Fire is. To me, Master Yuan has never been a high-ranking god, but just an ordinary person."

"It's...the person I want to protect."
