The moon in the sky was very round, as if someone had cut a hole in the dark night sky with silver scissors.

1000 years ago, the moon was so bright that night.

I lay in a pool of warm blood, staring at the distant brilliance with a dazed expression.

My body is no longer cold, I can't feel my face, my head is only sticky to the touch, and the convulsions and convulsions have also weakened. I let myself look at the moon instead of looking at the blood-spattered courtyard, and not paying attention to turning over the floor. Fallen screens and broken limbs.

The field of vision was dim, and there was only a faint light in the darkness.I stretched out my hand, wanting to touch the moon in the sky, but my arm had no strength, and it became difficult to even lift my fingers.

……

Today is also the night of the full moon.

After midnight, the streets of Tokyo fell silent.The time belonging to human beings came to an end, the bustling and hustle and bustle dissipated like a dream, the lonely street lamp hung its head in the darkness, the smell of something in the air changed, and an invisible chill permeated the surroundings like night fog.

There are too many ghosts.

The young man wearing the flower earrings was tight. At first, he was able to lead me sharply to run between the streets and alleys, but as the night gradually deepened, the flow of people became thinner. After losing the cover of the crowd, He had to hide with me.

"Feel sorry."

The dark crows flew away from the window edge. This is one of the strongholds of the Demon Slayer Squad in Tokyo. The ordinary hotel is located in the area east of the Sumida River. There is a purple noren curtain hanging at the entrance of the bamboo fence.

It is impolite to stare at others, I condemned myself in my heart, and then continued to stare at the boy in front of me.

He looked away a little embarrassedly, but still sat upright.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, we may have to wait for reinforcements here." He comforted me seriously, "I have already conveyed the news to the lord, and the pillars on duty nearby will come soon."

There are three pillars on duty in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Except for the smiling Shinobi who I met once at the Mitsukoshi Department Store—I thought she was just an ordinary employee at that time—the other two are faces I have never seen before.

Water column, Tomioka Giyuu.

Wind Pillar, Undead Kawa Miniya.

The self-introductions of the two were very brief. The latter stared at me for a while, but he couldn't hold back and opened his mouth:

"Do you know Ghost Mai Tsuji Mumi?"

"It's a long story, we've known each other for a long time."

The exchange of information is a matter of course, and I don't feel uncomfortable.But Miss Ninja frowned, and showed a kind and warm smile to Mr. Undead Kawa Minami: "Miss Ah Chao still has injuries on her body."

Mr. Undead Kawa Miniya clicked his tongue and did not speak again.

——A person who looks fierce may just look fierce.

The inn was not full tonight, and all the guests staying were members of the Ghost Killing Squad.Shinobi-san helped me bandage the wound on my ankle, and kindly asked me if I needed someone to accompany me.

I said I was fine, so Miss Shinobi handed me her newly developed poison, and went to guard the corridor outside the room.

The world at night is the home of ghosts. Due to the large number of ghosts, considering the risks, the most reasonable solution is to wait until dawn before acting.

The task this time is not to eliminate Onimai Tsuji, but to bring me back safely to the base of the Demon Slayer Squad.

Yuya Ubuyashiki is very patient, the thousand-year-old enemy has come before his eyes twice, it's a good thing he can hold his breath.

No one sleeps for a long night, I don't know why, I'm not nervous, I don't feel scared.I have a strange premonition, as if I've been waiting for something, I've waited too long for this moment.

I sat by the window and looked at the moon hanging high in the night sky.

The moon is gradually sinking to the west, falling from the sky towards the earth.

Time passed little by little until it was almost dawn.

When it was almost dawn, I went to the kitchen.In the kitchen stood a member of the Ghost Killing Squad armed with a knife. The young man under 20 years old had been tense all night, his stomach was growling with hunger, and finally he couldn't help but groped into the kitchen in the dark to look for food. It's right.

He nodded shyly at me.

There is leftover rice from last night in the cooled stove, and there are clean bowls and chopsticks on the shelf.I stretched out my hand, and when my fingers were about to touch the edge of the bowl, there was a sudden chill behind me.

I changed my mind, grabbed the kitchen knife on the cutting board, and the ghost jumped out from the shadow of hiding with a fishy wind, "Be careful!!" The soldier yelled, and the moment he drew the knife, he was bitten by the ghost On the shoulder, the sharp teeth sank into the flesh, tearing off the arm holding the knife from the joint, and the blood spattered out stained the ceiling red.

"Here—!!" The ghost made an ecstatic voice, "She is here—!!"

Thick and warm blood dripped onto my face. Without even thinking about it, I raised my hand and stabbed the knife into the ghost's mouth. I pressed all my weight on it, and the tip of the knife cut into its throat, almost It pierced through the back of its head, but it still couldn't stop its high-pitched and ear-piercing neighing.

"Get out of the way!" As the strong wind hit, I was short in time, and the sharp light of the knife flashed in the air. Mr. Tomioka Yoshiyuki chopped off the ghost's head with a single knife, and the pale head rolled to the ground, and the scarlet eyes rolled wildly With a twitching voice, he kept shouting: "Here!! Here!!" It turned into ashes on the cold ground.

"Miss Ah Asa." Tanjirou's figure appeared by the door, he ran towards me and helped me up.

His voice was tense: "We have been discovered."

Those ghosts came very fast, like sharks smelling blood, they surrounded the hotel in the blink of an eye.

Most of the building was destroyed during the battle, and the moonless sky was exposed between the collapsed beams. I helped the soldier who lost his arm to a hidden safe place, "Knife." He said to me, "Please Take my knife."

It's been a long time since I held a knife.

My strength is too weak, and I have been chopping off the heads of ghosts since before, but I can cut off the arms, legs and feet of ghosts, and consume the energy they need to spend to regenerate their limbs.

There were too many ghosts, and even with the presence of the three pillars, they couldn't escape easily. Those ghosts rushed up one after another, as if delaying time, just to trap us in place.

"This way!" Tanjiro grabbed my hand, Mr. Immortal Kawasaki and Mr. Tomioka Yoshiyuki opened the way ahead, and Miss Shinobi followed closely behind. Seeing a gap finally opened in front, the wailing of the ghost suddenly stopped, and the air filled the air. The dust stopped floating, and the heavy coercion pressed down like a rock, and Hei Si Mou, who was Shang Xianyi, stood at the gap, pushing the knife out of its sheath.

I slammed Tanjiro down, and the sharp blade cut through the air and swept across. The attack range was unbelievably wide. The house behind me made the sound of a huge ship sinking, and collapsed from halfway up.

Mr. Undead Kawa Minami and Mr. Tomioka Yoshiyuki launched a pincer attack on him one after the other. He held the blade attacking from behind, and avoided the tricky attack coming from the front with a light dodge. The two adjusted their breathing , and slashed towards Heishimou's vitals again, this time he did not dodge, but confronted him head-on, with the strange red knife tip raised, and quickly swung towards the two people who were close to him.

The air vibrated, the knives and knives intersected and made ear-piercing buzzing sounds. As a ghost, Hei Shimou had an overwhelming advantage in strength. Mr. Immortal Kawa Minya's veins burst out, and Mr. Tomioka Yoshiyuki gritted his teeth. In the end, he was caught by a terrifying The blow flew out, and after landing, he rolled on the spot. Before he could adjust his body shape, Heishimou's next knife had already swept away with a mountain-like pressure.

At the last moment, Miss Ninja narrowly pushed the two of them out of the half-moon-shaped attack range. Everything happened within a few breaths. The gap in strength was too obvious. Only the pillars could move, and ordinary soldiers could not move.

Tanjiro struggled to get up and fight.

I make a decision.

"Jiguoyan wins!!"

There was a pause in the movement of swinging the knife, and the name that had not been mentioned for more than 400 years seemed to touch the taboo memory. The figure shook the three people who were besieged with a knife, and turned to look at me.

With six scarlet eyes focused on me, he spoke extremely slowly: "...you..."

His original intention might have been to deal with the others present first, but he changed his mind at that moment.

"Miss Ah Chao!"

Tanjiro raised his hand and swung the knife violently, staggering and waving it empty.

In a blink of an eye, I heard the wind blowing in my ears, and when my vision became clear again, I was already in the hands of Hei Si Mou.He held a knife in one hand, and pinched the edge of my haori's collar with the other, staring at my face with six strange eyes: "... who are you?"

I couldn't answer his question because he didn't remember the tea house long ago.

"I didn't let you touch her, Hei Si Mou."

The moment the gloomy voice sounded, Heishimu's arm broke neatly from the wrist.The wound's body regenerates extremely fast, and the moment warm and viscous blood gushes out from the wound and splashes onto the ground, a new palm has already grown from the cut.

"..."

Hei Si Mou took a step back, his head drooping slightly and he didn't make a sound.

When I came back to my senses, Ghost Dance Tsujimu ordered in a miserable voice: "Get rid of the members of the Ghost Killing Squad."

will die.

If this continues, everyone will die.

"Miss Asahi!!" That was the voice calling me, but Kimai Tsujimu was strangling me, and I couldn't break free.He held me in his arms, intending for me to watch other people die.

Mr. Yiyong and Mr. Shimi held Heishimu with great reluctance. I saw the boy wearing flower earrings trying to run towards me, and I saw Miss Shinobi suppress her smile and her eyes were as sharp as a blade.

Time seemed to slow down, and I seemed to see a faint light appearing on the distant horizon.

"...Wu Mi." I looked up and called him.

The moment he lowered his head, I grabbed his collar, pulled off the tie I picked out by myself, pressed his lips and kissed him.

The plum-colored pupils shrank suddenly, and Oni Wu Tsuji's expression fell blank. I held his face in my hands, deepened the kiss without hesitation, and found a cold and soft tongue along the slightly opened lip.

In that brief, thousand-year gap, we kissed like lovers.

He took a small breath and wrapped his arms around my waist unconsciously.

"Asahi..." He put my name between his lips, in the deepest part of his throat, gnashed his teeth and tasted it repeatedly, and called out that name with anger and longing beyond belief.

He really wanted to kill me.

Ghost Wu Tsuji said that I hate him, so why doesn't he hate me.

How he wanted to kill me.

He really should have killed me.

The injection slipped from the cuff to the palm of my hand, and I held the cold needle, taking advantage of the moment when he lost his mind and was addicted to it, so I pointed the needle at the back of his neck and stabbed it down.

Wu miserably pushed me away, staggering slightly and took a step back.The toxins are kicking in.

He looked up at me, his pupils split open and his eyes were dark red.

——What is the time when I lost my memory and the time when I became his fiancée again?

I saw disbelief in his eyes, the burning anger, the deep-seated hatred... and the fleeting pain that seemed to be shattered.

I took off the ring on my left ring finger and took a step forward.

"...you...you dare..." With veins on his pale and handsome face, Gui Wu Tsuji Wu tragically stared at me, his eyes poisoned like a snake devouring people.But he was temporarily paralyzed by the poison, unable to break my neck or take another's life.

I knew what he was trying to say: How dare I betray him again and again.

I returned the ring to him and gently placed it in his palm.

"It's time to wake up from the dream, Wu Mi."

The sun is coming out.

The long nightmare is finally coming to an end.

"... towards the sun."

I ran towards the rising sun.

"... Ascension to the Sun!!!"

--"Where have you been?"

It was cold, and charcoal was burning inside the house.The lingering bitter medicinal smell overwhelmed the smell of incense and charcoal fire. My fiancé sat in the tent, every word in his indifferent tone seemed to be frosted.

"Where have you been?"

"What did you go to the shrine for?"

"Why did you leave for so long? Did you go somewhere else on the way?"

come back - come back -

Do not go.

The voice was full of anger, but it sounded terribly frightened.

——"Asahi, where are you going?"

Where am I going?

You are the first to disappear, aren't you?

Isn't it you who left me 1000 years ago?

In the direction where the dawn broke, the ghost driven by Wu Mi blocked the way in front of me.I continued to run, and picked up the sun wheel knife that had fallen to the ground before.

I have been beheading ghosts all the time. 1000 years ago, when I was pressed on the ground by a ghost, bitten and gnawed, I grabbed a piece of porcelain and stabbed it's neck desperately. My hands were bloody and my nails broke and fell off, but I couldn't cut the monster's neck.

I gripped the bloodstained knife handle tightly, and heard someone say to me:

"Adjust your breathing, Chao."

The voice fell in my ears, as if someone was standing behind me, gently holding my wrist.

"Do you remember how to swing a knife?"

...Of course I do.

The dazzling light of the knife cut through the snowy night like flowing fire.

I have watched it hundreds and thousands of times, and I will always remember the gentle and brilliant sword technique like a dance of prayer.

"Grab her, Black Death Mou!!! Grab her——!!!"

It seems like a lot of people are calling my name.

The blood was rushing, and the body suddenly became very hot.The sound of breathing continued to amplify in the ears, and the vision was as clear as washing.I gripped the handle of the knife tightly, and the moment the ghost jumped up, the tip of the knife turned, and suddenly swung from bottom to top!

The sun wheel knife cuts through the hard skin, cuts the regenerated flesh and blood, and cuts off the thick white bones. The part touched by the blade is separated like water and melted like snow. , the skillful tailor cut the silk cloth, and the ghost's head flew up high.

……

The sun is coming out.

The golden light broke through the horizon, and large swathes of it poured down.My body was drained of strength, and I fell to the ground holding the knife.

I sit in the rising sun, and no ghost can touch me anymore.The light cuts into the darkness, and the long night is finally over.

Leaning on the knife, I pressed my face to the back of my hand, trembling for a long time, tears welled up in my eyes, and finally fell down.

— 400 years.

What he left behind, the knife he left behind, still protects me.
