The soft and sticky touch of the palm made Mu Jin's eyes wide open. After he could no longer feel the ghost's breath, he blushed and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Compared to this, what happened just now?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki's fair face was also covered with a thin layer of red, and he coughed twice to stabilize his emotions and asked.
"There is a ghost." Mu Jin pursed her lips and looked at the direction where the breath disappeared, "It is a ghost that is many times stronger than before."
"You are not his opponent." Mu Jin thought for a while and then added.
"The ghost of Huajie...?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki gave Mu Jin a firm look, "Is it Wu Mi?"
"I'm not sure, even if that guy isn't Wu Mi, he should be able to get a lot of information." Mu Jin was a little excited. He came to Huajie just out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to be one step closer to Wu Mi.
"Where is it?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked with a serious expression while gripping the handle of the knife.
"...I won't tell you." Mu Jin remained expressionless, "You are absolutely no match for that ghost, why bother to give away the head?"
"If I can find out the whereabouts of that ghost, I can report this matter to the lord." Tomioka Yoshiyuki said lightly.
"Why do you think you can grasp the ghost's whereabouts? If it weren't for me, you might have been discovered by the ghost and eaten by now." Mu Jin was very firm and didn't want Tomioka Yoshiyuki to participate in this matter.
"Then do you want to let this ghost stay here? In a place like this where a large number of humans gather every night, I don't know how many people have been killed." Tomioka Yoshiyuki frowned and looked angry.
"Who said we're going to let him go?" Hibiscus asked back, her honey-colored pupils glowing with excitement, "I'll kill him."
"...Stop messing around." Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked a little helpless, he took two steps forward and rubbed Hibiscus's soft hair and said, "Let's think of a way together, and we can always kill that ghost."
"..." Listening to Tomioka Yoshiyuki's tone of coaxing the child, Mu Jin almost forgot her "weak and petite" persona in front of Tomioka Yoshiyuki.
"Anyway, I won't tell you the whereabouts of that ghost." A sense of helplessness arose, and Mu Jin dropped this sentence angrily with a puffy face, then turned around and left here without looking back.
After returning to the hotel, Hibiscus rolled up the quilt and lay down on the tatami, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Yoshiyuki Tomioka.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki sighed helplessly when he saw Hibiscus losing his temper. The overly playful boy hadn't slept for two whole nights, so he really should rest now.
After listening to Tomioka Yoshiyuki's footsteps going away, Mu Jin sat up abruptly, staring at his palms for a long time - as a mirror, he doesn't like human saliva at all, especially if direct contact is simply big. Thunder point.
But touching Yoshiyuki Tomioka's tongue today... I don't hate it at all.If it wasn't for the topic change, Hibiscus would even want to stick her fingers in and pinch it to see why it's so soft and the temperature... so high.
The more she thought about it, the more irritable Mu Jin puffed up her face. Human beings are indeed very annoying, so casually affecting other people's emotions. As a result, she pretended that she didn't know anything and was only thinking about killing ghosts.
Therefore, don't let him participate in this matter!
Hibiscus, who was so angry that he was like a puffer fish, kicked his feet vigorously under the blanket, and then fell asleep——
-
It wasn't until the sunset dyed the street red that Hibiscus turned slowly. After lightly rubbing her palm twice, she was about to go out when there was a knock on the door.
"Mujin, are you awake?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki's probing voice came from outside the door.
"..." Mu Jin was silent, not wanting to talk to him.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was holding the porridge outside the door, frowned slightly - he thought Hibiscus had almost woken up.Although it is okay to let him sleep for a while, the porridge will not taste good if it is cold.
After struggling for a while, Tomioka Yoshiyuki opened his hand and opened the door, "Mujin, go to bed after drinking the porridge."
Mu Jin didn't expect Yoshiyuki Tomioka to pull the door suddenly, and meet those indigo eyes - pretending to be asleep and being caught.
"Ahem, what's the matter?" After a few seconds of silence, Mu Jin sat up and coughed dryly.
"Let's eat something." Tomioka Yoshiyuki didn't care, and walked straight to the tatami with porridge, "You can continue to rest after eating."
"Stop looking for ghosts?" Mu Jin raised her chin and asked.
"I'll go and have a look first." Yoshioka Tomioka said to Hibiscus with downcast eyes.
Seeing his persistent eyes, Mu Jin clicked his tongue irritably, then lifted the quilt and stood up. After sleeping, his mood has almost recovered, "I know, I know, let's go together."
The boy who had just woken up still had blond hair loose, making his figure even more frail.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki pursed his lips, "I'll just go."
If the strength of the ghost inside is really as Mu Jin said, then it is not without misery, but at least it is winding.Yoshiyuki Tomioka has been in the Demon Slayer Team for so long and has never encountered Shangxian, let alone his understanding of Shangxian's strength.
So he wasn't sure if words could protect the boy well.So, he plans to go by himself.
"Don't you believe me?" Mu Jin's temper, suppressed by the porridge, surged up again, and he stared at Tomioka Yoshiyuki, "It was me who found that ghost!"
Originally, he didn't want to bring Tomioka Yoshiyuki, but that guy turned his back on the guest? ?
"I understand that you have talents that I don't have, but you haven't killed ghosts since that one was released, so I'm a little worried." Tomioka Yoshiyuki had a tough attitude.
"..." Indeed, Hibiscus and Tomioka Giyong have been working together on missions. He has been devoting himself to fishing—after all, he is a spirit body, why should he help humans eliminate ghosts?No matter how you think about it, this is not very reasonable!
In addition, I still enjoy the feeling of being protected by humans as the weak, and I was really regarded as the weak by Tomioka Yoshiyuki without knowing it.
"But I practice swinging a sword almost every day!" Although Giyuu Tomioka is helping Mujin with tasks, he has been committed to making Mujin a swordsman who is good and strong enough to be able to handle it alone, so he forces Mujin to train every day.
"...It's different, at least at the beginning, it shouldn't be practiced in a winding place."
"You guys are really annoying sometimes!" Mu Jin was speechless and ignored him for a moment.
"Sorry." Tomioka Yoshiyuki apologized solemnly.
"..." This made me feel angry and had nowhere to vent it.
"Always, I just want to go!" The young man's beautiful clear eyes were clouded with a layer of water——Mujin is going to make a big move!
"Even if I cry, I won't compromise!" Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who had been unable to do anything about this trick, turned his face away and said stiffly.
"Boss~" Mu Jin stepped forward with bare feet and lightly tugged Tomioka Yoshiyuki's cuff, "Take me with you, don't you mean that there are many people and strength? I will definitely not hold back!"
"But……"
Tomioka Giyong was interrupted by Hibiscus in the middle of his speech, tears rolled down the side of his face, "Just like you worry about me, I will be very worried if you go alone!"
That should be more useful?Humans have always been more empathetic than other creatures.
Hibiscus thought in her heart.
"We can hide our identities and get close to that ghost first!" Mu Jin grabbed Tomioka Yoshiyuki's hand, as if afraid that he would slip away, "Even if the two of us combine strength, we may not be able to compare with that ghost, how about Lurk in and find a chance to assassinate him?"
"What about poisonous wisteria, pushing him into the sun or something! Even if we are weak, the Demon Killing Team has fewer people, so we can't reduce our combat power!"
"How to lurk in?" Tomioka Giyuu frowned, a little moved by Mu Jin's words.
"It's nice to see—" Mu Jin smiled like a cat that has successfully sneaked, "It's just a matter of changing your face."
-
In Huajie, two delicate-looking "girls" walked on the brightly lit street with melancholy faces and even a trace of sadness in their eyes, attracting the attention of prostitutes--I really want to know who made them so sad.
"...so why do I even have to wear a kimono!" Mu Jin's blond hair was coiled up, with a delicate peony flower on it, and even the plain kimono on his body couldn't stop his delicacy.
"Because you said this is the best way to sneak in, right?" Yoshiyuki Tomioka in a blue kimono bowed his head, his fair and beautiful back of his neck was exposed to the air, and the men upstairs looked at the looming The place is almost drooling.
"But didn't you agree that you would play the woman and I would play the page boy!?" Mu Jin glared at the men, then pushed Yoshiyuki Tomioka's face - straighten your back!
"But having a servant boy doesn't look like a person who is forced to sell his body." Tomioka Yoshiyuki analyzed clearly.
When Mu Jin said that he wanted to dress up as a girl, he was actually a little hesitant, but seeing the boy's palm-sized face and beautiful long hair, he thought it was very suitable, so he nodded in agreement.But I didn't expect the boy to take out the heroine's kimono for himself to wear...
Yoshiyuki Tomioka: "...I don't think I'm suitable."
"Don't worry!" Hibiscus patted her chest and assured, "My vision is very good, if you say you are suitable, then you must be suitable!"
"What about you?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked.
"To ensure that we stay together," Mu Jin took out a tattered dress from the same bag, "I will be your page boy, so that we can see each other every day."
Tomioka Yoshiyuki refused. When it comes to women's kimonos, he thinks the boy is a hundred times more suitable than himself.
In the end, under the pull, it became a situation where both of them were wearing women's clothing.
It's a pity that Tomioka Yoshiyuki's face is too strong. From the moment he stepped into Huajie, no one regarded him as "a desperate girl who sold her body" but "a regular wife who came to find a happy husband".
And many men lamented that there is such a stunner at home, how can someone come out with a female ticket?
Hibiscus thought for a while, making Giyuu Tomioka feel a little sad.It's a pity that the paralyzed face seems to have forgotten what a "sad face" is.In desperation, Hibiscus pulled him to a corner, and stomped hard on his foot——
There is the sad scene of the beautiful woman seen by the man in Huajie.
"Can Hibiscus feel where that ghost is?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked with a smile in his indigo eyes, watching the boy's hair blown because of women's clothing.
"You can feel it when you get close." Mu Jin closed her eyes and carefully felt the breath in the air.
The stronger the ghost, the better at hiding himself, especially this kind of ghost who has been with humans for an unknown amount of time. Even Hibiscus cannot immediately determine his whereabouts.
"Don't worry." Tomioka Yoshiyuki rubbed Hibiscus's soft hair, looking more and more like a gentle big sister.
"As long as he is still in Huajie, I will definitely be able to find that guy." Mu Jin smiled flamboyantly, even in the Huajie full of beauties, he was so dazzling.
The distance between the two is very close, and Mu Jin has been holding Tomioka Yoshiyuki's arm since entering Hana Street in order to show "good sisters".Therefore, Tomioka Yoshiyuki's nose was always filled with the faint fragrance of hibiscus, which made him think of the touch of hibiscus hands for no reason - soft and slightly cool, not at all like the hands of the person holding the knife.
"What's the matter?" Mu Jin looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki's darkened eyes and asked curiously.
"Don't worry, if that ghost eats people tonight, I can feel him at that moment." Mu Jin thought Tomioka Giyuu was worried about the safety of Huajie people, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
This is true, the evil spirits show the greatest malice when they cannibalize people, and it is also when it is very easy to feel their breath.Before joining the Ghost Killing Team, Mu Jin had always judged the location of ghosts in this way.
"..." Tomioka Yoshiyuki patted Hibiscus's hand uncomfortably, and then quickened his pace.
"Hey, don't worry—" Mu Jin chased after him suspiciously.
Finally, after a few 10 minutes, Hibiscus stopped in front of one of the most gorgeous shops.
"Here?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked.
"Yeah." Mu Jin nodded, "The breath is messy, a bit uncomfortable."
It feels like Naraku, who always wears baboon skin and exudes miasma, but still can't stop the chaotic stench of a bunch of little demons mixed together on his body.
"otherwise……"
"I won't go back!" Mujin threw a punch at Tomioka Yoshiyuki's waist, but halfway through the swing, he thought of his identity as a "little beauty", and twisted it into a gentle blow in the air.
"Okay." Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who knew well the stubbornness of the young man, didn't force it, and walked in with Hibiscus.
As soon as she entered the door, she was blocked by a woman who was thought to be gorgeously dressed. She was covered with heavy makeup and could hardly see her original appearance. She held a long pipe and lightly puffed out her eye circles, and said with a charming ending, "This is not The place where the ladies should appear."
"..." Yoshioka Tomioka, was called the lady of the rich family again.
Mu Jin looked at his side face and wondered: Could this guy be a rich man himself?So I always carry that aura with me.
After receiving Mu Jin's suspicious gaze, Tomioka, the rich man, and Yiyong cast even more puzzled gazes: What's the matter, have you been exposed?
Mu Jin, who received Tomioka Giyong's eyes: How is it possible, if a rich man has such a family property, he would have lost so much.
While thinking in his heart, he smiled coquettishly and approached the woman, "Sister misunderstood, we are here to beg for food~"
"Begging?" The woman looked her up and down with charming eyes, "Do you know what girls come here to beg for?"
"I..." Knowing that Giyuu Tomioka would not be able to act, Mu Jin consciously took the great career of acting on his own shoulders and got deeply involved in the play. After hearing the woman's words, his eyes immediately drooped down, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. A disobedient strand of blond hair slid down the side of her face, and her fair hair was even dyed a thin layer of red, "I can be a slave, don't look at me like this, I'm actually very good at work."
"Being a slave—" the woman tapped the cigarette ash, and the ending sound was very long, "Unfortunately, the most important thing we lack here is serving people."
"..." Mu Jin was stunned for a few seconds, then looked back at "sister", gritted her teeth as if she had made some big decision, "Then I will be the receptionist, and let my sister be a slave, please? Please, we I really came to you when I had nowhere to go, so just treat it as saving someone's life, okay?"
The woman glanced at Tomioka Yoshiyuki lightly, and quickly made a judgment in her heart: Although the age has passed the best period of cultivation, she has a cool and beautiful face. Although the expression is indifferent, sometimes it is just like this It will arouse the man's desire to conquer.
In a place like Huajie, he is a very valuable person.
"Sorry, you should go to the government for charity." The woman leaned against the door frame with a cold face, and then said to the guard, "See off the guests."
"Don't, don't!" Mu Jin shouted with tears in her eyes, shaking her head, looking pitiful.
It's time for you to perform!He poked Tomioka Yoshiyuki with his elbow in a place where no one could see—quick, quick and considerate and said that he was willing to receive guests, so that it showed our sisterhood even more.
Giyuu Tomioka, who received the hint from Hibiscus, said with expectant eyes, "Forget it, let's go."
woman:"……"
Hibiscus; "..."
Yoshiyuki Tomioka, as expected of you, a man who will never follow the rules!
"You have a deep sisterly affection for her, and you even received guests by yourself to keep her alive. It's a pity that people don't seem to treat you as a human being at all." Seeing Giyuu Tomioka holding Hibiscus and about to step out the door, the woman was not in a hurry The voice came over, "For this kind of person, is it worth it?"
"It's better to stay here. Although our job doesn't sound so decent, we still don't have enough food and clothing." The woman walked over slowly and wrapped her arms around Hibiscus's neck, leaning into his ear and lowering her voice, "Make money for me, I I will treat you as my own sister."
Listen to Yoshiyuki Tomioka!This is the high EQ answer!Did you just forget the purpose of our women's clothing coming here?
Hibiscus could not wait to shake Yoshiyuki Tomioka's shoulder and question him.
But thanks to the woman who gave him a step to stay, Mu Jin pretended to be entangled in thinking for a while, then raised his eyes to Tomioka Giyuu, "Sister, let's stay. Even if we go out, there may not be a way out. Why don't we fight here? Maybe we will redeem our lives if we meet our lover?"
"..." Yoshioka Tomioka was silent, and he learned the image of the lady who would rather bend than bend without a teacher.
Finally, under Mu Jin's eyes (death stare) with tears shining, he nodded and agreed.
"Just do it like this!" The woman puffed on her cigarette in a good mood, then clapped her hands and called the two boys, "Go, take these two ladies to have a good night's rest, and tomorrow we will start teaching the guests."
The two were arranged in a small room where the servants lived. There was a musty smell in the room and there was only a thin tatami bed.
"I'm going to find out about the situation." Tomioka Giyuu frowned slightly, leaving the single bed to Mujin.
"Don't scare the snake when you just come in." Mu Jin jumped forward and grabbed his wrist, "That woman will definitely let people watch us, so let's be obedient for the time being."
Obedient?Tomioka Yoshiyuki blinked, and asked Hibiscus suspiciously, "Are you really going to receive guests?"
"...you bastard, you really don't know anything about Huajie!" Hibiscus slashed Yoshiyuki Tomioka's head with a knife and then began to explain, "We are two beautiful women! How could a beauty's first night be like this Feel free to hand it over to someone else.”
"Furthermore, the dignitaries and dignitaries who come here don't just want to be beautiful. They also need to be proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, painting and tea, so that they can have a common language with them."
"And you have to be able to serve people." Hibiscus opened the paper window and a strong smell of powder swept over. He looked at the moon and said, "So at least we will be training us for a while! During this time, find the ghost That's it."
In fact, Hibiscus can already sense the location of the ghost, and planned to go and see Tomioka Yoshiyuki after he fell asleep, but he didn't expect this guy to be so active.After confirming that Yoshioka Tomioka is not as strong as that ghost, Mu Jin decides to stabilize this guy first.
Although he could kill the ghost directly, but considering the "weak chicken" character set here in Tomioka Yoshiyuki, plus he still wants to try to devour the not weak ghost, in order to prevent that guy from spreading the news It would not be good for Wu Mi to make the legendary ghost king more defensive against the ghost killing team, so it is better not to make a move.
"Okay, go to sleep soon." Mu Jin moved inside wrapped in the quilt, leaving half for Tomioka Yoshiyuki, "Aren't you sleepy after not resting for so long?"
"No...it's not that I'm not sleepy." Tomioka Yoshiyuki saw the young man generously vacating his bed, and his face suddenly turned red again, "Go to bed first, I'll keep watch."
"What's there to guard against?" Mu Jin frowned suspiciously, "Don't worry, ghosts can't possibly know our identities, or even the two of us, so they won't make a move. Sleep peacefully."
After all, he patted the position next to him.
Looking at the action of the boy's invitation, it would seem a bit deliberate to refuse.Tomioka Yoshiyuki pondered for a while, then walked towards the tatami, the distance of a few meters seemed to be a century.
"What's the matter?" Mujin looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki who had the same hands and feet and asked suspiciously, "Did you catch a cold?"
"No." Seeing the boy sitting up and planning to put his hand on his forehead, Tomioka Yoshiyuki hurriedly shook his head and got into bed, "I'm a little tired."
"That's right." The human body is incomparable to the spirit body itself, and Mu Jin obediently lay down in bed and said in a low voice, "Good night, have a good rest."
"Hmm." The hibiscus flower on the boy's body became clearer and clearer. It was not strong but a refreshing fragrance. It smelled very comfortable, but it made Tomioka Giyuu even more embarrassed and at a loss - he might as well have kept vigil if he had known earlier.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka, whose body was stiff, thought regretfully.
"Are you too tired recently?" Mu Jin also felt Tomioka Yoshiyuki's unease, looking straight at him with eyes drenched in honey, with undisguised concern inside.
"No...it's okay." Tomioka Yoshiyuki closed his eyes so as not to look at Hibiscus, and then said in a muffled voice, "Go to sleep, you have to face that ghost tomorrow."
"That ghost doesn't mean you can see it. He has been hiding in Huajie for so long that no one even found him eating people, which is enough to show how good he is at disguising." Mu Jin retorted, "Tomorrow we should see only A group of teachers who teach etiquette."
"It doesn't matter." Tomioka Yoshiyuki thought to himself as long as he could get through the night quickly.
"It doesn't matter, you don't believe what I said!" Unfortunately, the young man didn't do what he wanted, and even got closer after hearing what he said, "Would you like to make a bet?"
"...I didn't mean that." Tomioka Yoshiyuki was a little weak.
"Well, if I lose, I will carry you to the mission location next time. It's the same if you lose." Mu Jin said to herself.
"Are you moving me?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki expressed doubts.
"How will you know if you don't try!" Who do you look down on!
"Okay." Yoshiyuki Tomioka nodded, and accepted Hibiscus's proposal, "Then go to bed quickly, the next day will soon come when you close your eyes."
"Well, take a rest." Mu Jin nodded, but sat up, lifted the quilt under Tomioka Yoshiyuki's puzzled eyes, "Let me press it for you, you can't rest well with such a stiff body."
"No—" Tomioka Yoshiyuki hadn't even uttered the words of refusal before the boy's soft hand stuck to it.
"Don't worry, it will be very comfortable." The young man's hoarse voice softly uttered this sentence, causing Tomioka Giyuu to blush even more.
... Did he do it on purpose?Yoshiyuki Tomioka thought in despair.
A pure mirror spirit didn't think about anything, it really just gathered its spiritual power in its hand and pressed Tomioka Yoshiyuki on the stiff place to try to make him relax—although he hates humans and doesn't think Tomioka Yoshiyuki deserves it Let him serve, but after all, it was because of his own reasons that he did not rest well, and Mu Jin felt that he should take the responsibility.
In this way, the first night in Huajie was spent in an ambiguous atmosphere.
The next day, Yoshiyuki Tomioka looked even more haggard.
"...Did you get your energy sucked by an evil ghost?" Mu Jin was taken aback by his dark circles, and asked in surprise.
The golden sunshine spread on the boy's hair of the same color, coupled with his flamboyant face and penetrating eyes, it should be a very attractive scene, but Tomioka Yoshiyuki took a few steps back, "Hmm... It's nothing, let's sleep in separate rooms tonight."
"Then you have to work hard to please that woman," Mu Jin shrugged, "It's not so easy for us to get a room under the fence now."
Yoshiyuki Tomioka was silent, and after washing his face with cold water, he said seriously to Hibiscus, "I will work hard."
"Don't work hard in strange places!" There is obviously only one way to make a woman happy, and that is to train well to pick up customers as soon as possible, but they are swordsmen, and the direction of their efforts should be to kill that ghost!
Not long after they packed up, the woman from last night came in with a pipe, glanced up and down at the two of them, becoming more and more satisfied with them, and then said, "Well, the training will start today. Which of you two can play an instrument ?"
Do you know?Hibiscus asked Yoshiyuki Tomioka with his eyes.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka's indigo eyes also looked at Hibiscus, and then - Hibiscus couldn't read anything.
Help, are Yoshiyuki Tomioka's eyes really human eyes?Obviously a group of idiots on weekdays, but at the critical moment, they couldn't guess what that guy was thinking!
Mu Jin took a deep breath, assuming that he couldn't do it.Then he shook his head at the woman, "Sorry, we haven't learned it."
"Eh?" The woman's eyes widened slightly in disbelief—she thought that all rich ladies must know such things, but now it seems that she has less experience.
"Okay," the woman sighed softly. She originally wanted to show her face with the instrument before the two of them picked up the guests, but now it seems that's not the case. "Then I may have to work harder recently."
"Let's start with the shamisen first. You must know at least one kind, and then you must have the minimum flexibility of your body and learn to coax men. You know, the more men are willing to spend money for you, the more it shows your strength and status in Huajie. , the higher the status, the easier it is to survive.”
"I will work hard!" Jing Ling's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the word "strength"—how could he be inferior to mere human beings?So, we must work hard!
"..." Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who didn't know where the boy's motivation came from, was silent for two seconds, and then nodded, "If you're just learning an instrument, it should be fine."
In this way, the two spent a day that was more tiring than practicing swinging a knife, and they didn't even step out of the study room.
"How do you investigate that ghost?" Tomioka Yoshiyong asked, looking down at Mujin.
This is also the result that Hibiscus never imagined.Help, who would have thought that working in Huajie would be more tiring than killing ghosts, even he now feels exhausted—not physically tired, but mentally tired in various senses, learning things is not good for Mu Jin It's difficult, but it's all a [copy] of the mirror itself, and it's perfect in one step.
So there is no so-called learning process for him at all, but no process will obviously scare people, so he can only force himself to act like a complete novice.In short, it is very tiring.
"At night." Mu Jin sighed softly, "It's only at night that I have time to do my own activities."
And at night, Huajie is the most crowded time, so it is convenient to mix into the crowd.
"It's not that I don't want to scare the snake..."
"Don't be so rigid!" Mu Jin interrupted Tomioka Yoshiyuki, please try to forget what you said, can you not remind me, "Well, I still have confidence that you will not be discovered by the guards."
"..." That's not what you said last night.
-
The two of them didn't have enough for dinner. The amount of food prepared by the woman was given by the street girl who kept her figure. It was just a little, and it was not enough for the two men.
Although I am not full, I still have to do my work.
Hibiscus stretched her waist and changed into a somewhat cumbersome kimono, covered her and Tomioka Yoshiyuki's faces with a black veil, and set off after making sure that they would not be recognized even if they were discovered.
"The breath from above is much heavier." Mujin closed her eyes to feel it, and then led Tomioka Yoshiyuki to a room.
The name of the woman who lived here was hung on the door, and Mu Jin took down the wooden board to take a look—"Fern Ji", the famous oiran in Huajie, is a hundred times more famous than Li Xia.
"Why is this kind of person...?" Mu Jin was a little speechless. An oiran of this level is always held in the palm of someone's palm, and it is even more difficult to swallow without making a sound.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki frowned, it is obvious that there is no misfortune in it, it should be only one of the twelve ghost moons, but has the twelve ghost moons reached this point?
After pondering for a while, Tomioka Yoshiyuki turned his head and left.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Hibiscus lowered her voice and hurriedly followed.
"Report this matter to the lord, and let him send the pillars to reinforce." Tomioka Yoshiyong said lightly.
"Are you sure you can get close to the pillar here?" Mu Jin stopped him, "I don't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles are here for entertainment. We can't even bring a knife when we come in. Is there a way for the lord to persuade those people?"
The Ghost Killing Squad, which has never been recognized by the government, can hardly move an inch in this kind of place.
"I can't just let that ghost go." Tomioka Giyuu looked serious, as if he was about to rush in the next second.
"I won't just let her go like this." Mu Jin sighed softly, "Now that the enemy is out and we are in the dark, shouldn't we take this opportunity to investigate more things? If she really quits, maybe we can still watch To nothing."
Yoshiyuki Tomioka pursed his lips, and did not appear to be persuaded by Hibiscus.
"Okay, if you want to tell the lord, at least you can confirm what kind of blood ghost she is? This guy is different from the ghosts we have encountered before. I can feel the chaos of her breath. If you can't figure it out The truth is, it’s not good if all the sent people are dead, right?” Mu Jin sighed softly, and then said.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement with Mujin's words.
"Better than this, do you want to get something to eat first?" Mu Jin rubbed her belly and changed the subject.
"Where are you going to get it?" Tomioka Giyuu asked with a puzzled face.
"Just follow me." Mujin grabbed Tomioka Yoshiyuki's wrist and ran towards the kitchen.
In the room separated by a wall, Ji Ji, who was receiving guests, stopped drinking and frowned suspiciously.
"What's the matter?" The man sitting opposite had a refined face, looking at Fern Ji with undisguised desire.
"Nothing~" Fern Ji smiled charmingly at him, just now, she seemed to be unable to feel the people passing by the door for a moment, as if blocked by something.
It should be just an illusion.Thinking of this, Ji Ji raised her wine glass and took off her layers of clothes and winked at the man—"Then, tonight, please take care of me, sir."
As expected of an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years (maybe?), he is more vigilant than other ghosts.
Hibiscus, who was stealing ramen in the kitchen, took a sip of the soup and thought to himself (completely forgetting that he is an older monster who has lived for thousands of years.)
Just now, he put a fragment of his own mirror on the back of the wooden sign at the gate of Fern Ji, so that it is more convenient for him to observe that guy, and he can grasp Wu Mi's movements at the first time.
It's just that there was a moment of distress and discomfort when I put the mirror, but I was noticed.
Things with brains (ghosts) are indeed more difficult to deal with than those without brains (curse spirits).
The following days for the two of them will be a little monotonous, learning the benefits of musical instruments every day, occasionally killing low-level evil spirits nearby at night, and occasionally observing the daily life of Fern Ji.
Although I didn't wait for Wu Mi, at least I found the place where Fern Ji hid food (human beings).That woman has very picky tastes, and she must eat beautiful people to eat.Naturally, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries with greasy faces are excluded, which is why no one has discovered the strangeness of this place.
It's not a clean place, and it's not surprising that someone disappears occasionally. Anyway, it's not a very important role. At most, they just pretend to look for it twice, and people quickly dispel their suspicions.
"You said that if we directly destroy her granary, will she die of anger?" On this day, Mujin and Tomioka Yoshiyuki sat on a stone bench to watch the moon, and Mujin asked with a smile.
"That's a human being." Tomioka Yoshiyuki corrected Hibiscus' name, his handsome face was filled with worry, "When can we stop her..."
"If you want," Mu Jin gnawed on the "dessert" steamed corn bread that the woman gave them, and then said, "you can do it tonight."
He has investigated that ghost very thoroughly recently, and he also understands why he feels that her aura is chaotic—because it is not the aura of a ghost at all, and that female ghost shares a male ghost with it for some reason. resources, and that male ghost is much stronger than the female ghost.
But because of this, the significance of swallowing Fern Ji is even greater.
"Tonight?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki opened his eyes wide and looked at Mu Jin in confusion.
"Didn't the building next door lose the oiran some time ago?" Mu Jin yawned lazily like a cat, "Everyone thought that the oiran had escaped by herself, after all, I heard that she was originally the daughter of a rich family, so coming here It was abducted."
"Actually, it was stored up by Fern Ji as food?"
"That's right!" Mujin snapped her fingers and looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki, "Last night I sneaked into her granary and got the pearl hairpin that the oiran carried with her, as long as I hide this thing in Fern Ji's room, it will be fine." would arouse suspicion."
"Do you think that woman will allow herself to be searched by humans?" Mu Jin gnawed on the last bite of cornbread, and looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki with bright and scorching eyes, "But the mother next door will not let it go, the air is on the head, that guy Naturally, the fact that he is a ghost will be revealed."
"Then you go and stop her, I'll sneak attack while she's not paying attention." Mu Jin gave Tomioka Yoshiyuki a thumbs up, "If you get rid of that ghost, you can save people."
In fact, he could have devoured Fern Ji and the male ghost by himself, but there is nothing he can do after exposing his strength.
"Compared to this, what happened just now?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki's fair face was also covered with a thin layer of red, and he coughed twice to stabilize his emotions and asked.
"There is a ghost." Mu Jin pursed her lips and looked at the direction where the breath disappeared, "It is a ghost that is many times stronger than before."
"You are not his opponent." Mu Jin thought for a while and then added.
"The ghost of Huajie...?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki gave Mu Jin a firm look, "Is it Wu Mi?"
"I'm not sure, even if that guy isn't Wu Mi, he should be able to get a lot of information." Mu Jin was a little excited. He came to Huajie just out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to be one step closer to Wu Mi.
"Where is it?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked with a serious expression while gripping the handle of the knife.
"...I won't tell you." Mu Jin remained expressionless, "You are absolutely no match for that ghost, why bother to give away the head?"
"If I can find out the whereabouts of that ghost, I can report this matter to the lord." Tomioka Yoshiyuki said lightly.
"Why do you think you can grasp the ghost's whereabouts? If it weren't for me, you might have been discovered by the ghost and eaten by now." Mu Jin was very firm and didn't want Tomioka Yoshiyuki to participate in this matter.
"Then do you want to let this ghost stay here? In a place like this where a large number of humans gather every night, I don't know how many people have been killed." Tomioka Yoshiyuki frowned and looked angry.
"Who said we're going to let him go?" Hibiscus asked back, her honey-colored pupils glowing with excitement, "I'll kill him."
"...Stop messing around." Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked a little helpless, he took two steps forward and rubbed Hibiscus's soft hair and said, "Let's think of a way together, and we can always kill that ghost."
"..." Listening to Tomioka Yoshiyuki's tone of coaxing the child, Mu Jin almost forgot her "weak and petite" persona in front of Tomioka Yoshiyuki.
"Anyway, I won't tell you the whereabouts of that ghost." A sense of helplessness arose, and Mu Jin dropped this sentence angrily with a puffy face, then turned around and left here without looking back.
After returning to the hotel, Hibiscus rolled up the quilt and lay down on the tatami, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Yoshiyuki Tomioka.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki sighed helplessly when he saw Hibiscus losing his temper. The overly playful boy hadn't slept for two whole nights, so he really should rest now.
After listening to Tomioka Yoshiyuki's footsteps going away, Mu Jin sat up abruptly, staring at his palms for a long time - as a mirror, he doesn't like human saliva at all, especially if direct contact is simply big. Thunder point.
But touching Yoshiyuki Tomioka's tongue today... I don't hate it at all.If it wasn't for the topic change, Hibiscus would even want to stick her fingers in and pinch it to see why it's so soft and the temperature... so high.
The more she thought about it, the more irritable Mu Jin puffed up her face. Human beings are indeed very annoying, so casually affecting other people's emotions. As a result, she pretended that she didn't know anything and was only thinking about killing ghosts.
Therefore, don't let him participate in this matter!
Hibiscus, who was so angry that he was like a puffer fish, kicked his feet vigorously under the blanket, and then fell asleep——
-
It wasn't until the sunset dyed the street red that Hibiscus turned slowly. After lightly rubbing her palm twice, she was about to go out when there was a knock on the door.
"Mujin, are you awake?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki's probing voice came from outside the door.
"..." Mu Jin was silent, not wanting to talk to him.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was holding the porridge outside the door, frowned slightly - he thought Hibiscus had almost woken up.Although it is okay to let him sleep for a while, the porridge will not taste good if it is cold.
After struggling for a while, Tomioka Yoshiyuki opened his hand and opened the door, "Mujin, go to bed after drinking the porridge."
Mu Jin didn't expect Yoshiyuki Tomioka to pull the door suddenly, and meet those indigo eyes - pretending to be asleep and being caught.
"Ahem, what's the matter?" After a few seconds of silence, Mu Jin sat up and coughed dryly.
"Let's eat something." Tomioka Yoshiyuki didn't care, and walked straight to the tatami with porridge, "You can continue to rest after eating."
"Stop looking for ghosts?" Mu Jin raised her chin and asked.
"I'll go and have a look first." Yoshioka Tomioka said to Hibiscus with downcast eyes.
Seeing his persistent eyes, Mu Jin clicked his tongue irritably, then lifted the quilt and stood up. After sleeping, his mood has almost recovered, "I know, I know, let's go together."
The boy who had just woken up still had blond hair loose, making his figure even more frail.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki pursed his lips, "I'll just go."
If the strength of the ghost inside is really as Mu Jin said, then it is not without misery, but at least it is winding.Yoshiyuki Tomioka has been in the Demon Slayer Team for so long and has never encountered Shangxian, let alone his understanding of Shangxian's strength.
So he wasn't sure if words could protect the boy well.So, he plans to go by himself.
"Don't you believe me?" Mu Jin's temper, suppressed by the porridge, surged up again, and he stared at Tomioka Yoshiyuki, "It was me who found that ghost!"
Originally, he didn't want to bring Tomioka Yoshiyuki, but that guy turned his back on the guest? ?
"I understand that you have talents that I don't have, but you haven't killed ghosts since that one was released, so I'm a little worried." Tomioka Yoshiyuki had a tough attitude.
"..." Indeed, Hibiscus and Tomioka Giyong have been working together on missions. He has been devoting himself to fishing—after all, he is a spirit body, why should he help humans eliminate ghosts?No matter how you think about it, this is not very reasonable!
In addition, I still enjoy the feeling of being protected by humans as the weak, and I was really regarded as the weak by Tomioka Yoshiyuki without knowing it.
"But I practice swinging a sword almost every day!" Although Giyuu Tomioka is helping Mujin with tasks, he has been committed to making Mujin a swordsman who is good and strong enough to be able to handle it alone, so he forces Mujin to train every day.
"...It's different, at least at the beginning, it shouldn't be practiced in a winding place."
"You guys are really annoying sometimes!" Mu Jin was speechless and ignored him for a moment.
"Sorry." Tomioka Yoshiyuki apologized solemnly.
"..." This made me feel angry and had nowhere to vent it.
"Always, I just want to go!" The young man's beautiful clear eyes were clouded with a layer of water——Mujin is going to make a big move!
"Even if I cry, I won't compromise!" Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who had been unable to do anything about this trick, turned his face away and said stiffly.
"Boss~" Mu Jin stepped forward with bare feet and lightly tugged Tomioka Yoshiyuki's cuff, "Take me with you, don't you mean that there are many people and strength? I will definitely not hold back!"
"But……"
Tomioka Giyong was interrupted by Hibiscus in the middle of his speech, tears rolled down the side of his face, "Just like you worry about me, I will be very worried if you go alone!"
That should be more useful?Humans have always been more empathetic than other creatures.
Hibiscus thought in her heart.
"We can hide our identities and get close to that ghost first!" Mu Jin grabbed Tomioka Yoshiyuki's hand, as if afraid that he would slip away, "Even if the two of us combine strength, we may not be able to compare with that ghost, how about Lurk in and find a chance to assassinate him?"
"What about poisonous wisteria, pushing him into the sun or something! Even if we are weak, the Demon Killing Team has fewer people, so we can't reduce our combat power!"
"How to lurk in?" Tomioka Giyuu frowned, a little moved by Mu Jin's words.
"It's nice to see—" Mu Jin smiled like a cat that has successfully sneaked, "It's just a matter of changing your face."
-
In Huajie, two delicate-looking "girls" walked on the brightly lit street with melancholy faces and even a trace of sadness in their eyes, attracting the attention of prostitutes--I really want to know who made them so sad.
"...so why do I even have to wear a kimono!" Mu Jin's blond hair was coiled up, with a delicate peony flower on it, and even the plain kimono on his body couldn't stop his delicacy.
"Because you said this is the best way to sneak in, right?" Yoshiyuki Tomioka in a blue kimono bowed his head, his fair and beautiful back of his neck was exposed to the air, and the men upstairs looked at the looming The place is almost drooling.
"But didn't you agree that you would play the woman and I would play the page boy!?" Mu Jin glared at the men, then pushed Yoshiyuki Tomioka's face - straighten your back!
"But having a servant boy doesn't look like a person who is forced to sell his body." Tomioka Yoshiyuki analyzed clearly.
When Mu Jin said that he wanted to dress up as a girl, he was actually a little hesitant, but seeing the boy's palm-sized face and beautiful long hair, he thought it was very suitable, so he nodded in agreement.But I didn't expect the boy to take out the heroine's kimono for himself to wear...
Yoshiyuki Tomioka: "...I don't think I'm suitable."
"Don't worry!" Hibiscus patted her chest and assured, "My vision is very good, if you say you are suitable, then you must be suitable!"
"What about you?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked.
"To ensure that we stay together," Mu Jin took out a tattered dress from the same bag, "I will be your page boy, so that we can see each other every day."
Tomioka Yoshiyuki refused. When it comes to women's kimonos, he thinks the boy is a hundred times more suitable than himself.
In the end, under the pull, it became a situation where both of them were wearing women's clothing.
It's a pity that Tomioka Yoshiyuki's face is too strong. From the moment he stepped into Huajie, no one regarded him as "a desperate girl who sold her body" but "a regular wife who came to find a happy husband".
And many men lamented that there is such a stunner at home, how can someone come out with a female ticket?
Hibiscus thought for a while, making Giyuu Tomioka feel a little sad.It's a pity that the paralyzed face seems to have forgotten what a "sad face" is.In desperation, Hibiscus pulled him to a corner, and stomped hard on his foot——
There is the sad scene of the beautiful woman seen by the man in Huajie.
"Can Hibiscus feel where that ghost is?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked with a smile in his indigo eyes, watching the boy's hair blown because of women's clothing.
"You can feel it when you get close." Mu Jin closed her eyes and carefully felt the breath in the air.
The stronger the ghost, the better at hiding himself, especially this kind of ghost who has been with humans for an unknown amount of time. Even Hibiscus cannot immediately determine his whereabouts.
"Don't worry." Tomioka Yoshiyuki rubbed Hibiscus's soft hair, looking more and more like a gentle big sister.
"As long as he is still in Huajie, I will definitely be able to find that guy." Mu Jin smiled flamboyantly, even in the Huajie full of beauties, he was so dazzling.
The distance between the two is very close, and Mu Jin has been holding Tomioka Yoshiyuki's arm since entering Hana Street in order to show "good sisters".Therefore, Tomioka Yoshiyuki's nose was always filled with the faint fragrance of hibiscus, which made him think of the touch of hibiscus hands for no reason - soft and slightly cool, not at all like the hands of the person holding the knife.
"What's the matter?" Mu Jin looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki's darkened eyes and asked curiously.
"Don't worry, if that ghost eats people tonight, I can feel him at that moment." Mu Jin thought Tomioka Giyuu was worried about the safety of Huajie people, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
This is true, the evil spirits show the greatest malice when they cannibalize people, and it is also when it is very easy to feel their breath.Before joining the Ghost Killing Team, Mu Jin had always judged the location of ghosts in this way.
"..." Tomioka Yoshiyuki patted Hibiscus's hand uncomfortably, and then quickened his pace.
"Hey, don't worry—" Mu Jin chased after him suspiciously.
Finally, after a few 10 minutes, Hibiscus stopped in front of one of the most gorgeous shops.
"Here?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked.
"Yeah." Mu Jin nodded, "The breath is messy, a bit uncomfortable."
It feels like Naraku, who always wears baboon skin and exudes miasma, but still can't stop the chaotic stench of a bunch of little demons mixed together on his body.
"otherwise……"
"I won't go back!" Mujin threw a punch at Tomioka Yoshiyuki's waist, but halfway through the swing, he thought of his identity as a "little beauty", and twisted it into a gentle blow in the air.
"Okay." Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who knew well the stubbornness of the young man, didn't force it, and walked in with Hibiscus.
As soon as she entered the door, she was blocked by a woman who was thought to be gorgeously dressed. She was covered with heavy makeup and could hardly see her original appearance. She held a long pipe and lightly puffed out her eye circles, and said with a charming ending, "This is not The place where the ladies should appear."
"..." Yoshioka Tomioka, was called the lady of the rich family again.
Mu Jin looked at his side face and wondered: Could this guy be a rich man himself?So I always carry that aura with me.
After receiving Mu Jin's suspicious gaze, Tomioka, the rich man, and Yiyong cast even more puzzled gazes: What's the matter, have you been exposed?
Mu Jin, who received Tomioka Giyong's eyes: How is it possible, if a rich man has such a family property, he would have lost so much.
While thinking in his heart, he smiled coquettishly and approached the woman, "Sister misunderstood, we are here to beg for food~"
"Begging?" The woman looked her up and down with charming eyes, "Do you know what girls come here to beg for?"
"I..." Knowing that Giyuu Tomioka would not be able to act, Mu Jin consciously took the great career of acting on his own shoulders and got deeply involved in the play. After hearing the woman's words, his eyes immediately drooped down, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. A disobedient strand of blond hair slid down the side of her face, and her fair hair was even dyed a thin layer of red, "I can be a slave, don't look at me like this, I'm actually very good at work."
"Being a slave—" the woman tapped the cigarette ash, and the ending sound was very long, "Unfortunately, the most important thing we lack here is serving people."
"..." Mu Jin was stunned for a few seconds, then looked back at "sister", gritted her teeth as if she had made some big decision, "Then I will be the receptionist, and let my sister be a slave, please? Please, we I really came to you when I had nowhere to go, so just treat it as saving someone's life, okay?"
The woman glanced at Tomioka Yoshiyuki lightly, and quickly made a judgment in her heart: Although the age has passed the best period of cultivation, she has a cool and beautiful face. Although the expression is indifferent, sometimes it is just like this It will arouse the man's desire to conquer.
In a place like Huajie, he is a very valuable person.
"Sorry, you should go to the government for charity." The woman leaned against the door frame with a cold face, and then said to the guard, "See off the guests."
"Don't, don't!" Mu Jin shouted with tears in her eyes, shaking her head, looking pitiful.
It's time for you to perform!He poked Tomioka Yoshiyuki with his elbow in a place where no one could see—quick, quick and considerate and said that he was willing to receive guests, so that it showed our sisterhood even more.
Giyuu Tomioka, who received the hint from Hibiscus, said with expectant eyes, "Forget it, let's go."
woman:"……"
Hibiscus; "..."
Yoshiyuki Tomioka, as expected of you, a man who will never follow the rules!
"You have a deep sisterly affection for her, and you even received guests by yourself to keep her alive. It's a pity that people don't seem to treat you as a human being at all." Seeing Giyuu Tomioka holding Hibiscus and about to step out the door, the woman was not in a hurry The voice came over, "For this kind of person, is it worth it?"
"It's better to stay here. Although our job doesn't sound so decent, we still don't have enough food and clothing." The woman walked over slowly and wrapped her arms around Hibiscus's neck, leaning into his ear and lowering her voice, "Make money for me, I I will treat you as my own sister."
Listen to Yoshiyuki Tomioka!This is the high EQ answer!Did you just forget the purpose of our women's clothing coming here?
Hibiscus could not wait to shake Yoshiyuki Tomioka's shoulder and question him.
But thanks to the woman who gave him a step to stay, Mu Jin pretended to be entangled in thinking for a while, then raised his eyes to Tomioka Giyuu, "Sister, let's stay. Even if we go out, there may not be a way out. Why don't we fight here? Maybe we will redeem our lives if we meet our lover?"
"..." Yoshioka Tomioka was silent, and he learned the image of the lady who would rather bend than bend without a teacher.
Finally, under Mu Jin's eyes (death stare) with tears shining, he nodded and agreed.
"Just do it like this!" The woman puffed on her cigarette in a good mood, then clapped her hands and called the two boys, "Go, take these two ladies to have a good night's rest, and tomorrow we will start teaching the guests."
The two were arranged in a small room where the servants lived. There was a musty smell in the room and there was only a thin tatami bed.
"I'm going to find out about the situation." Tomioka Giyuu frowned slightly, leaving the single bed to Mujin.
"Don't scare the snake when you just come in." Mu Jin jumped forward and grabbed his wrist, "That woman will definitely let people watch us, so let's be obedient for the time being."
Obedient?Tomioka Yoshiyuki blinked, and asked Hibiscus suspiciously, "Are you really going to receive guests?"
"...you bastard, you really don't know anything about Huajie!" Hibiscus slashed Yoshiyuki Tomioka's head with a knife and then began to explain, "We are two beautiful women! How could a beauty's first night be like this Feel free to hand it over to someone else.”
"Furthermore, the dignitaries and dignitaries who come here don't just want to be beautiful. They also need to be proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, painting and tea, so that they can have a common language with them."
"And you have to be able to serve people." Hibiscus opened the paper window and a strong smell of powder swept over. He looked at the moon and said, "So at least we will be training us for a while! During this time, find the ghost That's it."
In fact, Hibiscus can already sense the location of the ghost, and planned to go and see Tomioka Yoshiyuki after he fell asleep, but he didn't expect this guy to be so active.After confirming that Yoshioka Tomioka is not as strong as that ghost, Mu Jin decides to stabilize this guy first.
Although he could kill the ghost directly, but considering the "weak chicken" character set here in Tomioka Yoshiyuki, plus he still wants to try to devour the not weak ghost, in order to prevent that guy from spreading the news It would not be good for Wu Mi to make the legendary ghost king more defensive against the ghost killing team, so it is better not to make a move.
"Okay, go to sleep soon." Mu Jin moved inside wrapped in the quilt, leaving half for Tomioka Yoshiyuki, "Aren't you sleepy after not resting for so long?"
"No...it's not that I'm not sleepy." Tomioka Yoshiyuki saw the young man generously vacating his bed, and his face suddenly turned red again, "Go to bed first, I'll keep watch."
"What's there to guard against?" Mu Jin frowned suspiciously, "Don't worry, ghosts can't possibly know our identities, or even the two of us, so they won't make a move. Sleep peacefully."
After all, he patted the position next to him.
Looking at the action of the boy's invitation, it would seem a bit deliberate to refuse.Tomioka Yoshiyuki pondered for a while, then walked towards the tatami, the distance of a few meters seemed to be a century.
"What's the matter?" Mujin looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki who had the same hands and feet and asked suspiciously, "Did you catch a cold?"
"No." Seeing the boy sitting up and planning to put his hand on his forehead, Tomioka Yoshiyuki hurriedly shook his head and got into bed, "I'm a little tired."
"That's right." The human body is incomparable to the spirit body itself, and Mu Jin obediently lay down in bed and said in a low voice, "Good night, have a good rest."
"Hmm." The hibiscus flower on the boy's body became clearer and clearer. It was not strong but a refreshing fragrance. It smelled very comfortable, but it made Tomioka Giyuu even more embarrassed and at a loss - he might as well have kept vigil if he had known earlier.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka, whose body was stiff, thought regretfully.
"Are you too tired recently?" Mu Jin also felt Tomioka Yoshiyuki's unease, looking straight at him with eyes drenched in honey, with undisguised concern inside.
"No...it's okay." Tomioka Yoshiyuki closed his eyes so as not to look at Hibiscus, and then said in a muffled voice, "Go to sleep, you have to face that ghost tomorrow."
"That ghost doesn't mean you can see it. He has been hiding in Huajie for so long that no one even found him eating people, which is enough to show how good he is at disguising." Mu Jin retorted, "Tomorrow we should see only A group of teachers who teach etiquette."
"It doesn't matter." Tomioka Yoshiyuki thought to himself as long as he could get through the night quickly.
"It doesn't matter, you don't believe what I said!" Unfortunately, the young man didn't do what he wanted, and even got closer after hearing what he said, "Would you like to make a bet?"
"...I didn't mean that." Tomioka Yoshiyuki was a little weak.
"Well, if I lose, I will carry you to the mission location next time. It's the same if you lose." Mu Jin said to herself.
"Are you moving me?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki expressed doubts.
"How will you know if you don't try!" Who do you look down on!
"Okay." Yoshiyuki Tomioka nodded, and accepted Hibiscus's proposal, "Then go to bed quickly, the next day will soon come when you close your eyes."
"Well, take a rest." Mu Jin nodded, but sat up, lifted the quilt under Tomioka Yoshiyuki's puzzled eyes, "Let me press it for you, you can't rest well with such a stiff body."
"No—" Tomioka Yoshiyuki hadn't even uttered the words of refusal before the boy's soft hand stuck to it.
"Don't worry, it will be very comfortable." The young man's hoarse voice softly uttered this sentence, causing Tomioka Giyuu to blush even more.
... Did he do it on purpose?Yoshiyuki Tomioka thought in despair.
A pure mirror spirit didn't think about anything, it really just gathered its spiritual power in its hand and pressed Tomioka Yoshiyuki on the stiff place to try to make him relax—although he hates humans and doesn't think Tomioka Yoshiyuki deserves it Let him serve, but after all, it was because of his own reasons that he did not rest well, and Mu Jin felt that he should take the responsibility.
In this way, the first night in Huajie was spent in an ambiguous atmosphere.
The next day, Yoshiyuki Tomioka looked even more haggard.
"...Did you get your energy sucked by an evil ghost?" Mu Jin was taken aback by his dark circles, and asked in surprise.
The golden sunshine spread on the boy's hair of the same color, coupled with his flamboyant face and penetrating eyes, it should be a very attractive scene, but Tomioka Yoshiyuki took a few steps back, "Hmm... It's nothing, let's sleep in separate rooms tonight."
"Then you have to work hard to please that woman," Mu Jin shrugged, "It's not so easy for us to get a room under the fence now."
Yoshiyuki Tomioka was silent, and after washing his face with cold water, he said seriously to Hibiscus, "I will work hard."
"Don't work hard in strange places!" There is obviously only one way to make a woman happy, and that is to train well to pick up customers as soon as possible, but they are swordsmen, and the direction of their efforts should be to kill that ghost!
Not long after they packed up, the woman from last night came in with a pipe, glanced up and down at the two of them, becoming more and more satisfied with them, and then said, "Well, the training will start today. Which of you two can play an instrument ?"
Do you know?Hibiscus asked Yoshiyuki Tomioka with his eyes.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka's indigo eyes also looked at Hibiscus, and then - Hibiscus couldn't read anything.
Help, are Yoshiyuki Tomioka's eyes really human eyes?Obviously a group of idiots on weekdays, but at the critical moment, they couldn't guess what that guy was thinking!
Mu Jin took a deep breath, assuming that he couldn't do it.Then he shook his head at the woman, "Sorry, we haven't learned it."
"Eh?" The woman's eyes widened slightly in disbelief—she thought that all rich ladies must know such things, but now it seems that she has less experience.
"Okay," the woman sighed softly. She originally wanted to show her face with the instrument before the two of them picked up the guests, but now it seems that's not the case. "Then I may have to work harder recently."
"Let's start with the shamisen first. You must know at least one kind, and then you must have the minimum flexibility of your body and learn to coax men. You know, the more men are willing to spend money for you, the more it shows your strength and status in Huajie. , the higher the status, the easier it is to survive.”
"I will work hard!" Jing Ling's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the word "strength"—how could he be inferior to mere human beings?So, we must work hard!
"..." Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who didn't know where the boy's motivation came from, was silent for two seconds, and then nodded, "If you're just learning an instrument, it should be fine."
In this way, the two spent a day that was more tiring than practicing swinging a knife, and they didn't even step out of the study room.
"How do you investigate that ghost?" Tomioka Yoshiyong asked, looking down at Mujin.
This is also the result that Hibiscus never imagined.Help, who would have thought that working in Huajie would be more tiring than killing ghosts, even he now feels exhausted—not physically tired, but mentally tired in various senses, learning things is not good for Mu Jin It's difficult, but it's all a [copy] of the mirror itself, and it's perfect in one step.
So there is no so-called learning process for him at all, but no process will obviously scare people, so he can only force himself to act like a complete novice.In short, it is very tiring.
"At night." Mu Jin sighed softly, "It's only at night that I have time to do my own activities."
And at night, Huajie is the most crowded time, so it is convenient to mix into the crowd.
"It's not that I don't want to scare the snake..."
"Don't be so rigid!" Mu Jin interrupted Tomioka Yoshiyuki, please try to forget what you said, can you not remind me, "Well, I still have confidence that you will not be discovered by the guards."
"..." That's not what you said last night.
-
The two of them didn't have enough for dinner. The amount of food prepared by the woman was given by the street girl who kept her figure. It was just a little, and it was not enough for the two men.
Although I am not full, I still have to do my work.
Hibiscus stretched her waist and changed into a somewhat cumbersome kimono, covered her and Tomioka Yoshiyuki's faces with a black veil, and set off after making sure that they would not be recognized even if they were discovered.
"The breath from above is much heavier." Mujin closed her eyes to feel it, and then led Tomioka Yoshiyuki to a room.
The name of the woman who lived here was hung on the door, and Mu Jin took down the wooden board to take a look—"Fern Ji", the famous oiran in Huajie, is a hundred times more famous than Li Xia.
"Why is this kind of person...?" Mu Jin was a little speechless. An oiran of this level is always held in the palm of someone's palm, and it is even more difficult to swallow without making a sound.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki frowned, it is obvious that there is no misfortune in it, it should be only one of the twelve ghost moons, but has the twelve ghost moons reached this point?
After pondering for a while, Tomioka Yoshiyuki turned his head and left.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Hibiscus lowered her voice and hurriedly followed.
"Report this matter to the lord, and let him send the pillars to reinforce." Tomioka Yoshiyong said lightly.
"Are you sure you can get close to the pillar here?" Mu Jin stopped him, "I don't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles are here for entertainment. We can't even bring a knife when we come in. Is there a way for the lord to persuade those people?"
The Ghost Killing Squad, which has never been recognized by the government, can hardly move an inch in this kind of place.
"I can't just let that ghost go." Tomioka Giyuu looked serious, as if he was about to rush in the next second.
"I won't just let her go like this." Mu Jin sighed softly, "Now that the enemy is out and we are in the dark, shouldn't we take this opportunity to investigate more things? If she really quits, maybe we can still watch To nothing."
Yoshiyuki Tomioka pursed his lips, and did not appear to be persuaded by Hibiscus.
"Okay, if you want to tell the lord, at least you can confirm what kind of blood ghost she is? This guy is different from the ghosts we have encountered before. I can feel the chaos of her breath. If you can't figure it out The truth is, it’s not good if all the sent people are dead, right?” Mu Jin sighed softly, and then said.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement with Mujin's words.
"Better than this, do you want to get something to eat first?" Mu Jin rubbed her belly and changed the subject.
"Where are you going to get it?" Tomioka Giyuu asked with a puzzled face.
"Just follow me." Mujin grabbed Tomioka Yoshiyuki's wrist and ran towards the kitchen.
In the room separated by a wall, Ji Ji, who was receiving guests, stopped drinking and frowned suspiciously.
"What's the matter?" The man sitting opposite had a refined face, looking at Fern Ji with undisguised desire.
"Nothing~" Fern Ji smiled charmingly at him, just now, she seemed to be unable to feel the people passing by the door for a moment, as if blocked by something.
It should be just an illusion.Thinking of this, Ji Ji raised her wine glass and took off her layers of clothes and winked at the man—"Then, tonight, please take care of me, sir."
As expected of an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years (maybe?), he is more vigilant than other ghosts.
Hibiscus, who was stealing ramen in the kitchen, took a sip of the soup and thought to himself (completely forgetting that he is an older monster who has lived for thousands of years.)
Just now, he put a fragment of his own mirror on the back of the wooden sign at the gate of Fern Ji, so that it is more convenient for him to observe that guy, and he can grasp Wu Mi's movements at the first time.
It's just that there was a moment of distress and discomfort when I put the mirror, but I was noticed.
Things with brains (ghosts) are indeed more difficult to deal with than those without brains (curse spirits).
The following days for the two of them will be a little monotonous, learning the benefits of musical instruments every day, occasionally killing low-level evil spirits nearby at night, and occasionally observing the daily life of Fern Ji.
Although I didn't wait for Wu Mi, at least I found the place where Fern Ji hid food (human beings).That woman has very picky tastes, and she must eat beautiful people to eat.Naturally, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries with greasy faces are excluded, which is why no one has discovered the strangeness of this place.
It's not a clean place, and it's not surprising that someone disappears occasionally. Anyway, it's not a very important role. At most, they just pretend to look for it twice, and people quickly dispel their suspicions.
"You said that if we directly destroy her granary, will she die of anger?" On this day, Mujin and Tomioka Yoshiyuki sat on a stone bench to watch the moon, and Mujin asked with a smile.
"That's a human being." Tomioka Yoshiyuki corrected Hibiscus' name, his handsome face was filled with worry, "When can we stop her..."
"If you want," Mu Jin gnawed on the "dessert" steamed corn bread that the woman gave them, and then said, "you can do it tonight."
He has investigated that ghost very thoroughly recently, and he also understands why he feels that her aura is chaotic—because it is not the aura of a ghost at all, and that female ghost shares a male ghost with it for some reason. resources, and that male ghost is much stronger than the female ghost.
But because of this, the significance of swallowing Fern Ji is even greater.
"Tonight?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki opened his eyes wide and looked at Mu Jin in confusion.
"Didn't the building next door lose the oiran some time ago?" Mu Jin yawned lazily like a cat, "Everyone thought that the oiran had escaped by herself, after all, I heard that she was originally the daughter of a rich family, so coming here It was abducted."
"Actually, it was stored up by Fern Ji as food?"
"That's right!" Mujin snapped her fingers and looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki, "Last night I sneaked into her granary and got the pearl hairpin that the oiran carried with her, as long as I hide this thing in Fern Ji's room, it will be fine." would arouse suspicion."
"Do you think that woman will allow herself to be searched by humans?" Mu Jin gnawed on the last bite of cornbread, and looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki with bright and scorching eyes, "But the mother next door will not let it go, the air is on the head, that guy Naturally, the fact that he is a ghost will be revealed."
"Then you go and stop her, I'll sneak attack while she's not paying attention." Mu Jin gave Tomioka Yoshiyuki a thumbs up, "If you get rid of that ghost, you can save people."
In fact, he could have devoured Fern Ji and the male ghost by himself, but there is nothing he can do after exposing his strength.
