[Demon Slayer: Blade] The fiancé is always incompetent and furious

"Ascension day."

There was a smile in the soft voice, and the person whose face was blurred by the years stretched out his hand towards me.I stumbled and ran over, and fell into the opponent's arms.

"Mother."

The soft sleeves, with a touch of incense, envelop you like a cloud, making it the safest place in the world.

A gentle touch came, and the man in the coat bent slightly, and caressed my messy hair intimately.

"How many times have I told you that you can't walk without running."

The cherry blossoms in the courtyard are as blooming as mist, as if they will never wither, as if they will always wither, sprinkling and falling silently into the end of time.

"Ascension day."

Mother pressed against my cheek.Her long black hair fell like a waterfall, her body temperature was very low, and her face was pale like that of a patient, but her voice was still gentle and soft, dyed with all the bright colors of this season.

"My morning day."

I'm not pretty, and I don't have the talent to be likable.

I am so ordinary, but there is only one person in this world who will regard me like that as a treasure.

After contracting the disease, the mother could not see the wind.She often sat by the window, hugged the young me in her arms, and asked me softly where I went to play today, whether I got along with others in harmony, and whether I was happy in ordinary daily life.

When the family that was cursed by ghosts for thousands of years came to propose marriage, my mother did not show up.

She looked at the courtyard outside the window, and the cherry blossoms that were about to bloom kept falling from the branches, like a charming spring rain.

"Asahi, do you know what your fiancé is?"

"What is it?"

"The so-called fiancé is someone who will become family with Asahi after I'm gone."

Only when my father was not present did my mother say such things.

From the beginning to the end, the only one my father loves in this world is my mother.

The cherry blossoms fell silently, and my mother leaned against the window, humming slowly and softly.

Layers of hazy drowsiness enveloped consciousness.

I no longer remember the specific song, but I leaned against her arms and listened quietly, I remember the distant resonance of the air, and the weak but regular vibrations coming from the other side of my chest.

The memories are too far away and the years are too long.I can no longer see my mother's face clearly.

I just remember how the heartbeat in the chest gradually weakened and finally stopped in nothingness.

……

The real world emerged from the water-like darkness, and I realized that I had woken up. The texture of the tatami mats close at hand was clear, and the quiet and steady candlelight outlined the flowers and birds on the golden lacquer screen vividly.

——A strange room.

I didn't raise my eyes, but the other party withdrew his hand first, as if nothing happened just now, as if the person who knocked me out and brought me here wasn't him, my ex-fiance slightly bent At the corner of her lips, there was a flawless and gentle smile.

"you're awake."

The light and shadow reflected on the wall whispered.From far away, there seemed to be the sound of wind blowing across the water.

Dang—— Dang——

It seems to be the bronze lamp under the eaves, or it may be the evening bell of a Buddhist temple in the distance.

I finally looked at him.

"Stop pretending."

I've seen his face so many times.I don't know how many people have been deceived by the gentle appearance, and who knows the real appearance of this person under the skin.

The smile that was not as good as Mei Hong's eyes faded away, like a snake peeling off its scales, it faded away from that beautiful and pale face, leaving no trace of false warmth.

"Long time no see, Chaori."

I didn't respond aloud, and I didn't get up.It's not that I can't - my hands aren't tied - it's just that I don't feel like moving, that's all.

Saying that, my ex-fiancé—it's so tiring to always call him that—Wu Mi paused slightly, his face still had the expression of not being able to distinguish between emotions and anger, and not being able to see the specific shades.

"You've changed a lot."

The tone of understatement seems to imply that I have done something wrong.

But what does that matter to me.

I laughed and replied almost sincerely, "You haven't changed at all."

After nearly 600 years, the era of Heian-kyo has long been a distant dream. He still maintains the appearance of that year, with curly black hair and pale complexion. Putting on hunting clothes, he is the handsome and talented nobleman again. His facial features are almost beautiful. demon rule.

The only difference is probably that those red plum-colored pupils have now become slender like beasts, with a cold and inhuman aura.

"Are you still eating people?"

I remembered the last time I saw him in my life, and when I spoke, my voice was unexpectedly calm.

"Unlike fragile humans, ghosts have a long and infinite lifespan."

As if mocking my ignorance, Wu Mi said unhurriedly: "Even if they are not eaten by ghosts, human beings will still die for various reasons."

I don't know which of his words he thought answered my question.

"Yes." I sat up, propped one hand on the tatami, leaned forward slightly, and met the eyes of the ghost that had lived for hundreds of years.The plum red pupils were as cold as a lake in winter, with a tiny crack in the center.

"Such as illness."

The vertical pupils shrank, I thought I would be decapitated in the next moment, maybe that was what I planned subconsciously - after a long and short silence, Wu Mi let out a low laugh from deep in his throat.

"From the moment of birth, people are heading towards death, but I have overcome this and am no longer bound by death."

"And you." With cold fingers caressing my cheek, Wu Mi asked in a persuasive tone, "How did you do it?"

He gazed at me carefully, brightly colored pupils reminiscent of a snake before predation.

"Asahi, why are you able to survive in this form?"

After a moment of silence, I smiled:

"Take your hand away."

I don't like him touching me, and I don't like him appearing in front of my eyes.

He reminds me of the self who was full of admiration, and I am no longer the silly little girl I was back then.

That silly little girl has been dead for many years.

A brief moment of anger flashed through the pair of red plum-colored eyes, the slender pupils narrowed slightly, and then became cold and calm again.

"You don't seem to be going to tell me." Wu Mi didn't let go of my hand as I wished.

He really hasn't changed at all, except that he is no longer weak, and no longer needs to rely on others.

After removing the last layer of coexistence, the arrogance in his character was no longer concealed. I didn't even know what I wanted to wait for after waiting for so long.

"Before that, didn't you have anything to say to me?"

I have to ask that question for that little girl back then, otherwise she would always be crying in a deep corner of my heart.

Wu Ping showed a look that I couldn't understand.

He looked at me like I was making trouble with him.

"What do you want to hear?"

For a while, I didn't know who I should pity.

Pity me for being stupid back then, or my ex-fiancé who is no longer human.

I couldn't help laughing.

"That's all, that's all." I laughed a little out of breath, "That's all for reminiscing about the past, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll take my leave first."

The peonies on the screen are in full bloom, and the birds with long tail feathers linger among the flowers. The patterns of the four seasons are painted on the latticed patio, which looks graceful and luxurious.

I pull open the door.

"You can leave and try."

The night is silent, and the only thing that greets me in the corridor is the light of the fire in the candlestick.

I turned around very calmly.

"You are threatening me."

"It depends on your understanding."

Wu Mi casually supported his family with his hands.The slightly curly black hair hangs down the side of the cheeks, the face is so pale that there is no blood, and the red pupils are as beautiful as poisonous poppies.I don't understand why the people in this city didn't see through his disguise.

"What are you threatening me with?" I suddenly became impatient, "The lives of other people in this city?"

Wu Mi was noncommittal: "I need your cooperation, Zhao Ri."

"What do you cooperate with? I thought you had obtained the eternal life you dreamed of." I found that there was no expression on my face, "Or, you are still afraid of the sun now."

"...Don't try to provoke me." Dangerous anger accumulated in Wu Mi's eyes.

I don't understand how this man can take so many lives for granted after taking countless lives.

I don't understand why he can appear in front of me without remorse, without apology, and take it for granted that I will choose to forget.

Why can't he understand that I was already dead back then.

I have been dead for a long time, and I feel extremely tired living in this world every day.

"Are you going to kill me?" I looked up at him.

"Just like when you killed me."

Wu Mi's face suddenly became extremely terrifying.That seemed like a topic that no one could bring up.

But why, the person who died and was eaten alive by ghosts was obviously me.

"Shut up." His voice was cold and piercing.

"During these 600 years," I raised my face, my voice still steady, "you probably haven't died once."

"Do you know what it feels like to be torn apart, bitten and devoured by ghosts?"

In the dark courtyard, blood flowed like a river.

My memory has blocked too many details, and those pictures that I can't recall seem to overwhelm my spirit, so I only remember the sound of flesh and fascia being torn apart, and the crisp sound of crunching and chewing bones.

I seem to have expected someone to come and save me.At the critical point of fear, despair, and about to collapse, it seemed that someone's name had been cried out.

But that night, no one came.

No one came until I died.

With a loud noise, the candlestick suddenly fell over, and the ignited fire rushed to the golden screen, and the scorching heat snaked along the lamp oil, reaching me in the blink of an eye.

There were hurried footsteps in the corridor, Wu Mi covered her face, the veins on the back of her hands were bulging, and the pupils between her fingers were as red as blood.

"Who told you to go—"

"Your Highness!" A servant with a knife on his waist appeared outside the door.

"Who told you to go—"

The face without the slightest color was no longer as elegant and calm as before, as if the expression was about to split from it, as if something inside was about to burst out of the ground.

"Your Highness!! Please leave the danger quickly..."

"Wait a minute, don't go over!" I said anxiously, and was about to stop that person, when Wu Mi suddenly raised his hand, the attendant who rushed to him first exploded to death in the next instant, and the dark red blood splashed onto the courtyard. It turned into rain and fell.

Wu Can straightened up and slightly let go of the hand that was pressing on his face.

I realized that I had misjudged earlier—he did have a human disguise.Now after tearing off this layer of disguise, even ordinary people who have never been in contact with ghosts can see the difference in him at a glance.

monster.

Before they died, silent cries froze on the terrified faces of those people.

I couldn't save anyone.

The firefighters arrived late, and the whole city woke up in the night.

I stood on the edge of the moat, watching the fire burn all the way to the sky, burning the dark night into a red hole.

My ex-fiancé stood beside me, as if the previous rage was just an illusion, and the few lives buried in the sea of ​​fire had nothing to do with him, Wuyou put on that gentle face again, and cared for me intimately The sideburns around the ears.

"Shut up, Chaori." He whispered in my ear.

I look at him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he draped a brocade feather on me very naturally, wrapping around my shoulders.

"Don't catch a cold."

The author has something to say: If you don’t know why Wu Mi made a wrong judgment at the beginning, you can go back and read Chapter 1
