I rely on cooking to dominate the ghost killing team

Stand facing each other.Looking at May shrouded in sunlight, Yi Yong inexplicably had the illusion that he hadn't seen her for a long time.

In fact, it didn't take long, just a few hours.

She didn't look angry or sad, and her attitude didn't seem to be much different from usual, but she was more serious, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, revealing her determination.

May, who showed such an expression, seemed to be telling him that even if he refused to accept the conversation, she would definitely find a way to communicate with him.

Indeed, a dialogue is needed between them.

Yi Yong took a deep breath, walked out of the room without saying a word, and expressed his agreement with actions.

"Aren't you going to put the blanket back?"

Hearing what Wu Yue said, Yi Yong realized that he was holding the blanket and handkerchief that Wu Yue brought back in his arms.

With a pause in his footsteps, Yiyong turned back, stuffed the blanket into a cabinet casually, and then came out again.May helped close the door of the room.

This is not so much a help, but rather to prevent Giyuu from escaping back into the room - although Giyuu would not make such a behavior like a turtle.

Yi Yong walked in front, Wu Yue followed.The two walked unhurriedly to the main hall and sat down on one side of the low table.

"Let's eat something to fill your stomach first." Wuyue poked the snack box on the table, "Hungry will make the words taste bad...I think."

"Oh."

Yi Yong responded and opened the snack box.The pastries in the box were bought before I left home in May, and they have become a little damp now.Giyong ate slowly, the extra sweet taste of the pastry made him feel a bit sluggish, but he still tried his best to eat it.

For a few moments, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Wuyue, only to find that Wuyue was looking straight at him.His gaze collided with the same place, Yiyong was inexplicably embarrassed, and immediately looked away.

The pastry was eaten more and more slowly, but it was finished anyway.

Yi Yong poured a cup of cold tea and drank it in one gulp.He held the cup in his hands for a long time before putting it back on the table, and whispered to May: "I'm done."

"Tomioka Giyuu."

It was rare that Wuyue actually pronounced his full name.She was still looking straight at him, and this gaze made Yi Yong feel as if there was nowhere to hide.

"Don't think about it, answer right away-I ask you, do you hate me?"

"Do not."

Giyuu answered quickly, because this was not a question to think about at all.

"Do you like me?"

"..."

The answer that subconsciously blurted out suddenly stuck in his throat, Yiyong glanced at Wuyue, a trace of panic flashed across his face.

He clearly said that he should answer immediately, but Giyuu still couldn't give an answer, even though he only needed to choose an answer between "yes" and "no".

But he just couldn't say it.

He dared not touch the real answer hidden in his heart.And the other answer that was completely contrary, he didn't want to say it.

Because Yiyong didn't want to deceive May.

He was deadlocked for a long time.Under Wuyue's clear eyes, he chose the last answer - silence.

"call……"

He seemed to hear May sigh.It may also be relieved to understand something.

"I understand. Then, let me talk nonsense next. Whether you want to listen to these words or not, I must say them anyway."

She also unconsciously looked away.She was a little nervous, but soon raised her eyes again.

There seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes, which made Yi Yong a little distracted for a while.

"I never believed in fate."

Very suddenly, May said so.Her tail trembled slightly.

"But I believe that the meeting between people must be related by some kind of wonderful fate - it is the result of all the choices made in the past. What I met on the first day of coming to Taisho was You, Mr. Yoshiyuki. You can join the Demon Slayer Squad, you can be your stepson, you can be in the center of the storm between ghosts and humans, and you can... Phew... Everything that I experienced in Taisho happened with you as the starting point. Therefore, I am willing to firmly believe that our meeting itself contains some incredible power."

Talking too much in one breath, May is a little hypoxic.She had no choice but to pause here and fill the cup with tea by the way.But she didn't drink, just held the cup in her hand.

After staring at the short tea stalk standing in the tea for a while, Wu Yue put down the cup.

"For a long time, I don't seem to have thanked you. Let me take this opportunity today to express my gratitude."

Wu Yue bowed to Yi Yong, without raising his head for a long time.

"Thank you for being with me through so much, thank you for always being so gentle with me, and thank you for taking the loneliness away from being alone. I always feel happy when I'm with you—nothing For a special reason, I feel extra relaxed by your side." As she spoke, she suddenly smiled, "Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that I have a feeling called 'love' for you, right? .”

Yi Yong's heart trembled.

He was actually a little happy to hear Wu Yue say this, but at the same time, a sour feeling came out. It was an emotion that was dependent on his inferiority complex, and it could not be erased no matter what.

He subconsciously wanted to block May's words, but was interrupted by May first.

"Hear me out, please? Just let me finish..."

It was like the humble tone when he begged him to say something that night.Yi Yong was sad for a while, and he didn't say anything more.

"You've always been good to me, I know that—I've always known that. Of course, it's not that I don't think that my liking for you is just a drawbridge effect. Whether it's just because we've been through too much danger together , that’s why I felt the emotion. But I’m very clear, I know it’s not like this. I didn’t have bold thoughts about my mentor, Shuizhu, nor did I have thoughts about my companions who were in danger just because I was in a dangerous situation. misplaced emotions.

"Just because you are Yoshiyuki Tomioka, my heart is moved."

He is gentle, kind-hearted—even clumsy and inarticulate are all his.

Wuyue knew that what she liked was Yi Yong's good, but she also wanted to embrace all his pain in her arms, just like he did to himself.

But Yiyong just remained silent.

He remained silent, letting the chaotic thoughts roll in his heart.

Having said that, they both calmed down for a while.After a while, May spoke again.

"I expressed my heart to you, and I didn't want to use the heavy shackles of 'like' to suppress you. I just want to let you know that I like you. That's all." Wu Yue suddenly paused, Frowning slightly, he murmured, "But your reaction makes me feel... very confused."

It's not consent, nor is it a roundabout rejection, just saying...

... "People like me don't deserve to be liked by others."

May felt strange.She really finds it weird.

"It's really hard for me to understand why you say such things...can you tell me the reason—the reason why you don't feel worthy of being loved."

For Wu Yue, she always feels that all life is worthy of being loved, even flowers and grass can be loved by someone, even evil spirits were loved when they were still human.

Why is righteousness and bravery unworthy of being loved?

"Because this surviving life was bought by someone who was supposed to live in this world. I'm just an incompetent guy." Yiyong's tone was unexpectedly calm, "So, I don't deserve any beauty."

"no!"

May subconsciously denied it.She really didn't like to hear Yi Yong say such demeaning words about herself.

"I admit, I don't know your past, but I still... know a little bit."

As for how much this "point" is, it's hard to say.But May knows that he is entangled in this "little" past.

She wanted to comfort Giyuu, to persuade him to let go of the past.For this reason, she thought hard for a long time, always thinking about how to say it.

However, in the last second, he was still thinking about what he should say, but at this moment, Wu Yue suddenly completely forgot.

The brain suddenly became blank.

Wu Yue stared blankly at Yi Yong, feeling like an embarrassing student who sat in the examination room but had an empty head so that the test papers were also empty.However, she didn't feel much embarrassment, because Yiyong was as usual, and his eyes didn't fall on her.

As always... ah...

If it was normal, she probably wouldn't have any special thoughts.but now……

"Please watch me!"

she said aloud.

The sudden words frightened Yiyong, and even the briquettes that happened to pass by the main hall exploded violently.The terrified briquette fled away, walking away with the sound of pattering footsteps.

Giyuu raised his eyes as if he hadn't seen him for a long time.He saw Wuyue bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were slightly red.She must have made up her mind to say what she said earlier.

From her water-colored eyes, he also saw himself.

The cowardly, evasive self.

The reflected appearance made Giyuu inexplicably conflicted.He wanted to look away again, but he heard Wuyue say: "Leave all emotions aside, forget all the past for a while, leaving only Takio Wuyue alone, you just need to think about Takio Wuyue. Then , ask you again, do you like...do you like me?"

Her words made Yiyong's heart tremble, very much like the emotions that permeated his heart after she expressed her heart that night.

He never looked into his own mind.He didn't dare to do this, and he was also avoiding this matter.But if, being presumptuous, it is really like what she said, if she forgets everything for the time being and leaves her alone in her heart, then...

"Yes."

It was easier than expected to say this.

"I like Takio Mayzuki."

This can be regarded as the expected answer, although it has always only appeared in Wu Yue's vain fantasy.

She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, just breathing heavily.

Then, she threw herself into Yiyong's arms and hugged him tightly.

"That's no problem! The conversation is over!" She said to him in a particularly stubborn tone, "We don't need to think about other things. Like this kind of thing, as long as the heart is connected. You have never been anything wrong A person worthy of being loved—your life is sustained by the love of Satu and Tomioka Tsutako..."

Yi Yong's heart trembled.

These were words he had never heard before.

It was also the first time he realized what had extended his life to this moment—not the painful self-blame and guilt, but the love he thought he didn't deserve.

"Besides, you don't need to care so much about liking someone—as long as you like someone, that's enough! So...so..."

The fluffy little golden head in his arms was shaking slightly.Giyuu guessed that she was probably crying again, so he hurriedly ended the topic.

Hugs from others are long-lost and unfamiliar.Yiyong didn't know what to do for a while.He seemed to be stiff for a long time before he finally stretched out his hand and hugged her gently in a very clumsy gesture.

Perhaps, he really thought too much.

It is clear that you only need to follow the purest love, and you don't need to care about other things at all.

Ah... so warm...

He really shouldn't push away this soft warmth.
