"Hoshino, Hoshino?"

The slightly urgent call pulled Shugo Hoshino's consciousness back from the darkness, he moved his fingers slightly, and after a while, he felt the stagnation in his body subsided a bit, and slowly opened his eyes.

"You're finally awake." Seeing him open his eyes, Ji Guoyuan, who had been guarding the bed the whole time, finally relaxed. He pursed his lips, and continued, somewhat uncomfortably, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"I'm fine..." Shugo Hoshino's consciousness was a little scattered due to the emptiness of exhausted spiritual power, and he replied subconsciously and habitually before his consciousness was particularly clear.

"You always say you're fine." Ji Guoyuan retorted with a slight frown.

His rare and strong words made Hoshino Shugo stunned, recovered from the dazed state, his eyes could not help but fell on Yuanyi's tense face, and a little smile appeared on his lips.

"... Hoshino." His gaze seemed to make Ji Guoyuan a little overwhelmed, subconsciously looked away, and only mumbled his name.

"I'm here." Shugo Hoshino said lightly, his voice soft.He thought for a while, and answered the young man's last question: "It is indeed a nightmare, but it's not so scary to wake up and see Yuanyi in this dream."

Yuan Yi stood in front of him.Not a dead body that doesn't have any temperature and can't breathe.

Ji Guoyuan, who was about to reach out to help him up, paused for a moment, but finally just let out a dull "um" and continued his original movements.

Shugo Hoshino stood up following his hand.

Yuan Yiben was about the same height as him, and in such a posture, his eyes naturally fell on Yuan Yi's side face.

The young man's face was tense, maintaining his usual expressionless appearance, but Hoshino Shugo noticed that the other's ears were quietly stained with red.

Shugo Hoshino burst out laughing.

So cute, Enichi.

The tragic situation seen in the dream and the scene in front of him overlapped, and finally Shugo Hoshino's inner depression was dispelled a lot, and he even rarely had some bad thoughts-if he points out this point now, will Yuanyi be able to do it for a while? Your face turned red and you didn't even know where to put your hands?

This kind of thought just flashed through my mind, maybe because the distance between the two of them is too close at this moment, Hoshino Shugo somehow thought of that kiss that was about to leave, but he felt a little uncomfortable Look away.

Fortunately, Yuanyi didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and let him go quickly.He turned around to pour a glass of water, returned to the bed and handed it to Shugo Hoshino.

"Thank you." Shugo Hoshino reached out to take it, and glanced at him quickly - such a short movement has already faded the thin red on his ears, and the young man with little expression kept his eyes on him, as if afraid of him It disappeared in the next second.

...Thinking of his "black history", Shugo Hoshino couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"How long have I been asleep?" Shugo Hoshino asked softly, breaking the silence in the room.

"A day and a half. The Central Pharmaceutical Research Institute came once, and the leader of the ghost killing team also sent someone to inquire about the situation." Speaking of this, Yuan paused, as if recalling something, and then slowly said: "You leave this place. For a while, he will come and see for himself at first.”

"The 'curse' is getting worse, isn't it?" Shugo Hoshino said without surprise.

As for Yuanyi's reaction, he can probably guess a little bit - after all, the Ubuyashiki clan's appearance is [-]% or [-]% similar. Yuanyi who has recovered his memory may be thinking of the leader of the Demon Slayer Team in the Warring States Period.

Thinking of this, Hoshino Shugo's eyes stopped on Yuanichi.

The person being watched tilted his head, and a bit of bewilderment appeared on his face just right.

Why are you looking at him like that?

"...Yuichi, has your memory fully recovered?" Shugo Hoshino asked hesitantly.He woke up before, and fell asleep before he had time to ask, until now he finally asked.

Yuan Yi's eyes darkened, and his eyes involuntarily moved away from him. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I remember everything."

Among them are those... delusion that you can't ask for it.

If he thought about it in detail, Ji Guoyuan didn't even know when he had the "illusion" that this person would appear beside him.

Maybe it was from the real embrace in the shrine that he regarded as a hallucination, maybe it was when he was staring at the wisteria flowers under the moonlight in a daze in the dead of night... The source of Jiguoyuanyi has no way to be traced.

It's not that Ji Kunienichi couldn't get rid of such hallucinations - when he first realized that he would see the hallucination named Hoshino Shugo, he fell into a long silence, and finally let it grow wildly.

It was clearly agreed that she would accompany him.

I clearly agreed to tell him when I left.

In the end, he disappeared without a sound.

... So even if it's just a hallucination, as long as you can see him, what's wrong with it?

That is the only consolation that I have nothing.

It's just that the situation is different now.

The real and palpable Shugo Hoshino was right in front of him, and if Hoshino knew about this, what expression would he show?

Ji Guoyuan didn't know.

But he was afraid of seeing a look of disgust and disgust on this person's face, so he didn't intend to tell the person in front of him about it.

Anyway, this time, I won't let you abandon me again.

Ji Guoyuan thought in his heart.

I don't know what kind of messy things Yuanyi was thinking at all, but Hoshino Shugo was thinking about things that were not in the same direction at all.

He was thinking of the scene of the last scene he had seen.

The young swordsman, covered in bruises and drenched in blood, guarded a child who just met by chance, and finally passed away silently in the remote mountains and snowy fields in the wilderness.

Yuanyi didn't know why he became an undead, and wandered alone in this world for hundreds of years. As the "culprit", Shugo Hoshino now knew very well that it was because he forcibly left Yuanyi's soul here. world...

However, if Yuanyi had no obsession with this world, his technique would also not be successful.

It's mutual.

So, what is Yuanyi's obsession?

Thinking of what Yuanyi said before recovering his memory, no matter how hard he rushed, and what he said after recovering his memory, Shugo Hoshino couldn't help but fell silent.

He always felt that if he asked, it would be an answer he couldn't bear.

Hoshino Shugo's sudden silence made Yuanyi a little puzzled, but before he could ask, he heard the young man in front of him change the subject in a casual tone: "Did anything happen during my absence?" ?”

Shugo Hoshino left for over a month.

One month, whether it is long or short, for Daojian Fusangshen, he is used to the lord "leaving without saying goodbye", so of course he will not worry too much about it.

So Shugo Hoshino should be asking about the situation of the Demon Slayer Squad.

About this question……

Ji Guoyuan, who stayed by Shugo Hoshino's side every step of the way, fell silent for a moment.

"General, are you awake?" Along with the knock on the door, Yaken Toshiro's voice sounded from outside the door.

"Come in." Shugo Hoshino responded.

"The general looks much better." Hearing the sound, Yaken Toshiro pushed the door open and entered, seeing the young swordsman standing in front of Hoshino Shugo's bed, his face was not surprised, but there was a kind of sigh as expected.

The arrival of Yaken Toshiro saved Ji Kuni, who knew nothing about the outside situation, and he moved away from the bed to let Yaken Toshiro come forward to check Hoshino Shugo's physical condition.

Hoshino Shugo obviously noticed that Enichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was not very good at relaying such things, so he asked Yaken Toshiro the question just now.

The serious dagger pushed his glasses, it was no surprise that Shugo Hoshino would ask such a question.

"General, when you left, what you solved was the third of the upper string, right?" Yaken Toshiro recalled it for a while, and then said unhurriedly: "The fourth of the lower string, the sixth of the lower string, the third of the upper string...there are short In a short period of time, the third of the twelve ghosts was lost, which seemed to have angered the ghost king named 'Ghost Dance Tsuji Wumi'. Recently, ghosts have gradually become more and more active. The news of the good group, secretly, I heard that some people are also inquiring about the general."

After all, Oni Mai Tsuji can see everything he wants to see through the "eyes" of all oni, so the existence of Shugo Hoshino is not a secret to him.

"If we talk about the major events that happened recently, we still have to say that they happened in Yoshiwara Flower Street and the forging village of the Ghost Slayer Squad."

"On the other side of the flower street, the sixth of the first string appeared. Tsurumaru hall thought it was boring to stay here all the time, so he went with Tanjirou-kun, and was almost seriously injured because of a moment of carelessness... Ah, I accidentally said it, Tsurumaru hall asked me Keep it a secret." Yaken Toshiro sold out his teammates without any psychological pressure, "But there is no serious problem with the garrison prepared by the general. On the other hand, the sound column of the Demon Killing Team was seriously injured. Now Still recuperating."

"It's not a big deal for a few children, but the sun wheel knife was broken, so I went to the forging village to have the foundry recast it. This time it was Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki who was very interested in forging... and I met the winding four and five again. , and now, together with Yinzhu, they are lying in the butterfly house."

Yaken Toshiro did not describe too much the difficulty of their fight, but simply told Shugo Hoshino about the result.It's just that when his eyes inadvertently glanced over Ji Guoyuan, his mind suddenly moved, and he thought of the interesting things that Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki said he found in Forging Sword Village.

It was a puppet with six hands, used for sword skills training—Yuichi Zero Style, which had a very similar face to the young swordsman standing here at the moment.

"You know! I was really shocked when I saw that doll!" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki sighed in front of him when he came back, "It's just a little damaged It’s hard to imagine how powerful the original me would be if I can use such advanced swordsmanship!”

"Huh? Who is the prototype?" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki scratched his hair, "The people in Forging Sword Village are very secretive about this, and they refuse to mention a word. Seeing that I kept asking, they vaguely said that it was a person from the Warring States Period. A worthy swordsman."

"..." Ji Guoyuan put his hands by his side slightly closer.

He seemed to remember that there was such a thing.Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki also came to ask him for confirmation, but at that time he was so focused on Hoshino Shugo that he didn't listen to his words at all.

Listening to it now, I feel a bit complicated in my heart.

He thought that he, who had accomplished nothing, had left no trace in this world, but now he knew that was not the case.

Seeing the young man's expression, Yaken Toshiro silently sighed in his heart that it was so.

"In short, although many things have happened, the situation of the Demon Slayer Squad is still good," Yaken Fujishiro concluded his report, "Except for the physical condition of Mr. long time."

"As for the ghosts, the ghost king shouldn't just sit and wait for death, right?"

Hoshino Shugo was skeptical about the answer to this question.

After all, he was a coward who hid for hundreds of years as soon as Yuan killed him once, not to mention, because of Naraku's use of the strength of the monster camp to PTSD... But it's not good to say, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites people, ghost dance Tsuji is not inferior to rabbits.

"What's going on with the Nuliang group?" Speaking of the monster camp, Hoshino Shugo asked casually.

"Mr. Li hasn't been here for a while." Yaoken Fujishiro replied, "I heard that some kind of marijuana was also produced in the Nuliang group. Trouble, I haven't heard any news about what happened specifically."

Shugo Hoshino raised his eyebrows.

There is even something that can stump the second generation of the Nuragumi.

"I'm going to see Mr. Ubayashiki."

Shugo Hoshino decided to put the Nuliang team aside for the time being. He still believed in the strength of the Nuliang carp, but the Demon Killing Team should be prepared for the counterattack of Onimai Tsuji.

Glancing at Yuanyi who was staring at him, Shugo Hoshino slowly added: "Yuichi, come with me."

And just when Yuanyi followed his steps and was about to go out, the young man in front of him suddenly stopped.

This breath is...?

The young man with black hair and purple pupils slightly closed his eyes, as if he felt something that ordinary people couldn't feel. After a while, he looked in a distant direction.

Could it be that, hundreds of years after he destroyed the Ni Pond, the feather fox still hasn't given up?

The author has something to say: Surprise or not, surprise or not?I actually updated it again.
