Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

A few young people squeezed in from outside the door. A yellow-haired boy rushed in while screaming, "Why is it raining so much, Nezuko, come in quickly?" while dragging a very cute girl.

The boy named Inosuke suddenly yelled:

"Get out! Don't come in!"

The yellow-haired boy was taken aback, "Inosuke, why are you so windy, it's raining heavily outside, sister Nezuko's clothes are all wet!"

Before the words were finished, a boy in Ichimatsumon haori led another girl into the shop with a gentle smile on his face.

"What's wrong with Inosuke? It's raining so hard, let's eat a bowl of soba noodles here before leaving."

Seeing the pretty face of the girl behind him, all I could hear in my mind was a bang like the clanging of weapons.

Two years have passed, and everything has changed dramatically since returning from hell.

But I still can't forget that face.

Forcing myself to calm down quickly, I grabbed the umbrella on the table, walked over and grabbed Tong Mo's hand tightly and dragged it out.

A certain ghost looked innocent: "Eh? Xiaoran, we forgot our things! Goldfish goldfish~"

"Goldfish!" I simply used the communication in my brain, "Have you seen who these people are? Do you want to fight with them or something?"

"How could it be?" The ghost said happily, "I've never been angry about being beheaded, and besides, the Ghost Killing Team has been disbanded, and it's fate to meet these children. Just to catch up on the old days~”

"I don't want to talk about the past! Let's go back!"

As we spoke, we were already on the street outside, and the rain was still pattering down. I held up my umbrella, covered the ghost under the umbrella, and opened my defenses vigilantly.

Although this street is located in the downtown area of ​​Asakusa, the street has become quite quiet due to the rain, with only sporadic pedestrians passing by in a hurry.

"Is Xiaoran angry? Why?" The ghost with a sick brain was still rambling, "I personally don't care at all, don't be angry~ By the way, how about we go buy some snacks, I know Xiaoran eats You won’t be angry if you order something sweet~”

Angry or nervous, I have no time to take care of it, I just want to take him out of this place quickly.

"Stop for me!"

Suddenly there was a roar from behind, and a violent murderous aura swept over.

I stepped forward to stand in front of Tong Mo, held the umbrella with one hand, and drew a golden line in the air with two fingers of the other hand, and shouted:

"retreat!"

The rain stopped abruptly.A dazed expression appeared on the young man's face for an instant, and the speed of the two knives that were already close at hand also slowed down.

Momentary thought suppression is enough.

I picked up the umbrella and hit the opponent's waist hard, sweeping away the boy's sturdy body.

"Inosuke!"

There were several screams from the door of the store.The remaining young people also ran out.I saw the pale face of the girl with the butterfly headdress, looking at this side with an unbelievable look.

The boy wearing the sun-shaped earrings stared at us in astonishment, while the boy with yellow hair yelled loudly: "What are you doing? Did you recognize the wrong person? Really, I finally went to the city to celebrate Qixi Festival!"

"It's impossible for me to admit my mistake... that face... even if it is burned to ashes, I will recognize it!" The beautiful boy yelled at his companion, "Second of the Wind! That is the Second of the Wind!"

"What are you talking about!" The yellow-haired boy stood there and rolled his eyes, "What is the second of the winding, I think you are dreaming after eating too much tempura? You have already gone to hell, where did the second of the winding come from?" ? Besides, didn’t you and Kanahu behead you and Kanahu for the first string? Right, Kanahu? Kanaihu?”

The girl was wearing a Tanabata festival yukata, and the yukata was covered with tiny flowers. She had grown up a bit compared to what I saw in the Illusion of Infinite City, but she still looked petite and cute.She just moved her lower lip, her eyes were a little empty, and she seemed to be holding something tightly in her hands.

"Hey, sorry, sorry, I haven't said hello to everyone~"

Tong Mo walked up to me and said cheerfully, "What a beautiful night, why don't I invite you all to eat soba noodles? If you have anything to say, you can sit down and talk slowly~"

I glanced at him speechlessly, and finally understood how he died before.

Although this ghost has super observation skills, he can't understand other people's anger, sadness, and hatred, and it's hard to understand a series of actions from these emotions, so he thinks and acts completely in his own brain circuit.

The heart of the Son of God, which was originally full of divinity, has long been eroded, and there is not much left, which makes him a different kind who can not only be blended into the world of humans, but also the world of ghosts.

"But he doesn't smell like a ghost." The boy wearing the Japanese earrings said softly, "Inosuke, are you mistaken?"

"I won't admit it wrong! It's the scum of the first string!" The boy's pretty face almost twisted, "It's that bastard who ate my mother and also ate Shinobu! Damn, we have already, we have already Send him to hell!"

"Xiao Inosuke is right~"

Tong Mo smiled and raised the wild boar leather headgear in his hand, "I still remember you and your mother~ But after such a long time, why are you still so weak? You can't cut me like this? Oh, yes, yes Already!"

He suddenly clapped his hands excitedly, "Why don't you guys guess, am I a human or a ghost now? Do you want to try to cut my neck? But let's talk first, if you guess wrong, the consequences But it's pretty serious~"

"Do you need any consequences for hacking you scum?!"

Unexpectedly, the storm-like boy rushed to the front of his eyes again at some point, and the two zigzag long knives slashed at the ghost's neck at an incredible angle.

I dodged over, and a layer of blazing golden light floated on the umbrella. I lifted the boy's fierce offensive swords from bottom to top, and kicked him in the chest along the way.Unexpectedly, the boy's body was so flexible that he dodged a backflip and landed firmly on the ground.

zla -

The hem of my yuzen-dyed furisode let out a groan, and finally... tore it off.

I just knew... this must be the worst Qixi Festival in my life.

"Ah, I forgot to mention~ Xiaoran, this child's body is very flexible, and the joints can be dislocated at will, so the moves are all random~" A certain ghost watching the excitement from the side chattered, "But your move just now is also very good. Master Hei Si Mou taught it, right? So Xiaoran can fight without a knife? It's so powerful, so powerful..."

"Shut up!" I finally couldn't bear to shout.

I use the umbrella because the sword technique and "jutsu" I used in hell are all killing techniques, no matter what kind, I can't control it so that I don't take people's lives.

Just like Tong Mo's blood ghost technique, once activated, it is used to harvest human lives.Because that's what we are.

But even if the street has been blocked with an enchantment, I don't want to kill people in the street.Besides, in this thousand-year struggle between humans and ghosts, too many lives have been lost.

"You woman... who the hell are you? Why are you protecting that scum?" The young man raised his swords and snarled at me, "Go away, or don't blame me for hacking you together!"

"Inosuke, you've grown up..."

Looking at those eyes, I thought of the girl with a gentle smile who taught me how to make big fortune pancakes in the illusion of Kek Lok Si in hell.

That was the first time I felt kindness from a human soul.

When Qin Ye saw this child in his memory, he was held in his mother's arms, and his deciduous teeth hadn't even grown yet.

Qin Ye once told me that he expected him to be as gentle and kind as the leader when he grows up.

At that time, Tong Mo was leaning against the porch, watching us lazily with squinted eyes, just smiling without saying a word.

Thinking about it now, no matter when he knew it was just an illusion.

"Yes, I almost forgot. In the end, you succeeded in avenging your mother." I said softly, "That's enough, isn't it? After all, a life is worth a life."

"Miss, you are not a ghost, why do you want to protect the winding?" The boy wearing the sun wheel earrings said a little confused, "Your breath is very gentle, you don't look like a bad person."

"Kaodo Tanjiro," I nodded towards him, "Your sister seems to have turned back into a human being. You didn't give up on her when she was a ghost. I've heard your story and I sympathize with you very much. Encounters. But not all people in this world have the luck of you and your sister. You have met many people who care and love you along the way, right? Although you lost your family, you have been a layman since childhood grew up in love with you, right?"

"You know me?" The boy seemed a little surprised, "I'm sorry, but I..."

"You haven't seen me, and no one around you knows me." I smiled, "I am Shirahime, the water god of Arakawa. Since the Edo period, I have been in charge of floods and rainfall in this city. Besides , I am still a member of Master Tong Mo. With this standpoint, can we talk?"

"Are you...a god?" The boy surnamed Zaomen opened his eyes wide, "But why are you..."

"I'm so mad! Tanjiro, what are you listening to her nonsense! This is the scum of the first string! This maggot admits it himself! This woman must also be a ghost! I won't..."

Snapped!

The boy looked at my raised hand, and it took a while to react, and he jumped three feet high:

"How dare you hit me, Mr. Inosuke?! You woman is tired of working! Since you are with that maggot, then..."

Snapped!

I slapped my backhand again.

"This is a lesson for your mother!"

Seeing that he was about to slash with the knife, I dodged over and twisted his wrist, grabbed his sun wheel knife and broke it hard, the thin blade snapped off.

Lord Heishimu said that Tai Dao is actually very easy to break. As long as the angle is right, the seemingly strong Sun Wheel Saber is just an ordinary sword.

I grabbed the broken knife and let the blood drip down my fingertips. I pointed at the boy and said sharply, "Scum? Maggots? Do you dare to scold him again? It was your mother who took the initiative to go to his monastery to ask him for help. Yes! Without his shelter, you and your mother would have frozen to death in the mountains, or were dragged back and beaten to death by your biological father! He saved your life in the first place! You hate him so much, why don’t you just die never mind?!"

"It's unreasonable, isn't it? Okay!" I raised my head and said loudly, "As I can see, you don't have knives, right? No surprise, after all, there is a ban on knives now, and your ghost killing team has been disbanded long ago. But those who have participated in the Battle of Infinity City here, all know what the blood ghost technique of Winding II is like?! There is no one on this street, because I temporarily blocked the street with an enchantment, but outside is Asakusa Shopping street, if you really want to fight, do you have the consciousness to drag hundreds of thousands of ordinary people to be buried with you?!"

These words made the young man named Tanjiro look obviously hesitant, and he frowned, as if he couldn't make a decision for a moment.

"What are you fighting for? This isn't the Infinite City~" Tong Mo chuckled, with the golden fan half-opened and half-closed in his hand, "Besides, this generation of ghost hunters is over, right? There are not many dead left, and there are not many left." It’s New Year~ And you kids don’t even have knives, so you can’t cut ghosts?” He slightly narrowed his cold and bright colorful pupils, and looked at the boy, “Although you inherited the breath of the sun, But now it seems that one of your arms is disabled, and one of your eyes is also blind. The little girl next to you, eh, what is her name? Kanae or Kanaihu? Forget it, people always can’t figure out the girl The child's name, she seems to have some problems with her eyes, what a pity, I remember this child's eyes are very special, and she can see my movements clearly, it is so pitiful now that she has become like this... I am not Wu Mi, I am sorry for you These poor children, I have always been very kind, so I won’t fight with you today~”

"Little Inosuke," he turned to the green-eyed boy, his tone rare and serious, "I'm really sorry for causing you to lose your mother. Did I say that when we met last time? I didn't ask for it at first. The plan to eat your mother, Qin Ye is a kind-hearted person, she really puts me in a good mood when she is by my side, and I still remember the song she sang to you very clearly. I've seen her in hell, although she still can't understand my kindness, we are still good friends..."

"Shut up! Don't talk about my mother with your dirty mouth! You don't deserve it! What hell, stop talking nonsense! How can my mother be in hell? You bastard! I can send you to hell again , I can send you down again! Even if I kill you a hundred times or a thousand times, it will not be worth the crime of killing my mother and companion!"

"Nonsense? As I said, treating people with sincerity is my only advantage~" Ghost said innocently, "Hell is not scary at all, on the contrary, it is very interesting. We had a lot of fun there, right Xiaoran ?”

"Forget it, Master Tong Mo." I shook my head, "They won't believe anything you say. Let's go."

"Wait!" The boy named Tanjiro suddenly said, "Did you kill Shinobu and Kanae?"

"It's me~" Tong Mo said with a smile, "Xiao Ren is a very strong girl, in order to avenge her sister, even if she has no talent and suffered such a serious injury, she insisted on fighting with me to the end. She was very moved, that's why she was given salvation~"

"What...you...have no intention of repenting at all?" The boy said in a daze, "You killed Shinobu and took so many lives, why can you still... laugh?"

"About this point, I also explained to these two children last time~" the ghost said unhurriedly, "I am the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult, and any life that is eaten by me will get eternal life with me." Oh~ But now I also know that the soul is also immortal, so death is not terrible at all. If you die, you can go to reincarnation~ The so-called heaven and hell are created by human beings' own obsession, because Human beings are illusory existences. When they are alive, they can’t get rid of the pain, and they can’t change the things that make them suffer. They make up such fairy tales for self-comfort, so human beings are really pitiful. But salvation also depends on fate , I will only redeem those who I am particularly fond of, Xiao Ren should have already been reincarnated, a girl as cute as her, she will surely be happy in the next life, this is a good thing~"

"Tanjirou...don't listen to his nonsense anymore...enough..."

The girl wearing a butterfly headdress raised her head, her eyes were empty and dark.

"Salvation is all a lie. You don't understand anything, because you can't feel anything... You can't understand people's emotions, that's why you say such ridiculous things... It's all because You, I just lost my two older sisters, you... monsters like you... should die, without even the dross left! Why are you still alive? I'm afraid you don't even know it?"

The girl actually laughed: "Hehe...It's so funny. Although I don't know why you are still alive, you still look like a fool even if you die once. You should die a few more times as soon as possible. After all, you are alive. It doesn't make any sense at all…”

The girl's voice stopped abruptly as I grabbed her by the neck and pinned her hard against the wall.

"Chanel!"

Several teenagers yelled out together. As expected of trained ghost hunters, they cooperated tacitly even in the panic. They attacked me from multiple directions at an extremely fast speed.

If it's not a wooden stick or a broken knife in your hand, it's still like that.

"Don't even move—!"

Following my voice, a golden ripple spread out in the air, and several figures that had rushed froze in mid-air, and were immediately pressed to the ground by invisible pressure, unable to move.

"Whatever you are, don't hurt Kanaihu!"

The boy wearing the sun wheel earring propped up his body with the only remaining arm, and shouted at me uncontrollably:

"If you dare to hurt her, I will definitely not let you go!"

"This is the 'spirit of speech' that only the gods have." I said lightly, "If you keep talking indiscriminately, I'll break this girl's neck. I always do what I say."

"That's right, don't blaspheme~" A certain ghost said with a smile on the side, "You children are always so impatient, you have to let someone finish talking~"

"Miss Chanahu, I have known you for a long time." I turned to the girl whose face was pale because I strangled her neck, "Although I am a god, we are all women after all, so I will temporarily put aside my identity as a god and come to you Be reasonable."

"The monster you mentioned once saved my life when I was a human being. Not only that, but in the past 200 years, he has also comforted many people, rescued many people, and taken in many people. Those of your ancestors may be He has seen, heard, and even talked to those who have never seen natural disasters and man-made disasters. You said that he can’t feel anything, so life is meaningless? Why does he have to feel the emotions of you humans? Don't be stupid, what kind of noble existence are you, worthy of the children of gods to understand everything about you?"

"He said that human beings are in pain because he has seen the pain of thousands of people with his own eyes. And what about you? You only experience your own pain. He is a fool. Don't you think you are the one who is ridiculous? people?"

I let go of my hand a little, allowing the girl to breathe.

"I'm sorry that you lost an important person in this war. Like you, I also lost my important person. This is impossible. After all, he has eaten too many people, and the karma on his shoulders is too deep. .But to you alone, I won't apologize, and he won't apologize, do you know why?"

"Because on the battlefield, the two sides represent two opposing camps. Everyone is fighting for their own camp, and there is no personal enmity between them. If I remember correctly, both of your sisters It's a ghost hunter. Why do you think that, as a leader, he should be merciful to them? Why do you think so? Is it because you are girls? No, you are ghost hunters first, The second is girls. Since you choose to join the ghost killing team, a revenge organization, to work for Yuyashiki, you are automatically involved in this cruel game, and sacrifice is a matter of time. In fact, your sisters did the same. Use When seven hundred times the vine flower poison hit him hard, when you cut him with a knife and stabbed him in the eye, did you have any kindness? You didn't. So why do you have such a strong resentment in your heart? He doesn't owe you anything ah."

The girl's face was flushed red, and her whole body was trembling violently because of the huge anger. I smiled and continued:

"You must want to say that because ghosts eat people, they deserve to be killed and hacked, no matter what you do to them, right? Miss Chanel, do you eat meat? I guess you haven't eaten beef, but You should have eaten roasted birds and peony pots, right? Can you tell me why humans can hunt and kill all the animals in the sky and on earth, but ghosts cannot hunt and kill humans? Are humans not part of this world? Since they are part of the world, they Don't be so self-righteous, you must know that one day there will be someone stronger than you in the world, but you are unwilling to admit it because of your cowardice and stupidity. Besides, ghost hunting is just to fill your stomach, and you humans kill them for various reasons. There are so many people, hundreds of years, thousands of years, you have polluted the whole world with mutual resentment and disputes, but in turn accuse a few ghosts of eating more people? Think that as long as all the ghosts are eliminated You can get happiness? Isn't it too naive?"

"So oh girl," I leaned close to her, stroking her young face, "we won't apologize to you, and we don't have any intention of repenting, not just because he died once, to redeem The so-called sin is also because gods will not apologize to humans. After all, people like you who only rely on poison to win in battle don't get any respect from me."

"Miss Kanohu, you can continue to take revenge on Tong Mo. You can tell everything about today to Miyashiki, and even pass it on to your descendants, if you want your descendants to live in hatred like you. But in that case... "

I smiled and said word by word:

"Do you want your descendants to be cursed by the gods? A curse like the Ubayashiki family. For decades, hundreds of years, no one can live past the age of 30, fester and die... Do you want that curse ? I am a god, I can do that kind of thing."

"That boy named Tanjiro has stripes, so he won't live long? Maybe next year or the year after, you will be pregnant with his child. You have to think about it for yourself."

I let go of my hand and watched her slump to the ground in a daze.

"My words are finished, Master Tong Mo, let's go."

"Eh? Have you finished? Let's go first, see you next time~"

Tong Mo happily waved his fan at those people, and walked out of the dark street with me.

It wasn't until I saw a brightly lit shopping street in front of my eyes that I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I was worried that I or he would kill someone because I couldn't control it, but now it seems that I am thinking too much.

As a result, as soon as he untied the barrier, he saw the grumpy wild boar boy chasing after him, yelling.

"Don't run! How dare you push me to the ground! I'm going to kill you two scum!"

Qin Ye, I really can't do anything about your son, but it's all due to this sick ghost. If he doesn't kill you, this child will grow up in the love of his mother, and he will not change anyway. Into such a hateful look.

But your children are not the only ones who fail to grow up in love?

"Inosuke, I'm sorry."

I turned around and smiled at the boy, then grabbed Tong Mo's arm, took a deep breath, and let out the highest level of screaming in my history——

"Wow! It's a robbery!!!"

There have always been many pickpockets on the shopping street in Asakusa, so there is no shortage of patrols. My screams quickly responded, and the crowd began to automatically gather in this direction, and the patrols ran over with sharp whistles.

"Ma'am, what happened? Where is the robber?"

I pretended to be about to faint, raised my bleeding hand, and pointed tremblingly at the bewildered teenager opposite.

"Mr. Police Officer, please help... This kid suddenly rushed out to attack us. Look at my hands and my clothes. He tore them all! There are their accomplices in the alley, and they found fault at the soba noodle shop just now He wanted to hit us, but he managed to get out and was caught up... It's too scary, this is Asakusa, how could there be such a person... Is there any law at all..."

"Isn't this the proprietress of Roslyn Coffee? How did it happen?" A inspector who knew me said immediately, "Don't worry, we'll catch that group of people right away and give you and this gentleman an explanation."

"Then I will trouble you, ah, the child has escaped!"

"Chase! Chase! Don't let them get away!"

I watched a group of inspectors pour into the alley just now, smiling triumphantly.

"Let's go, Master Tongmo. Let's go buy some snacks and soft drinks, buy some more, and give Mr. Yamada a taste of it when we go back."

The ghost blinked, as if what had just happened had surprised the former No. [-].

Then, he blushed.

he!it turns out!Blushed!

The corners of my mouth twitched as I was hugged by this spring-faced ghost.

"Xiaoran is amazing! What you just made is so beautiful! I really like this Xiaoran! I knew it! I knew Xiaoran would stand up and speak for me~ Ahh, I am so touched~ "

I was almost suffocated by the hug, and wanted to push him away, but I walked through the bustling crowds and brilliant lights, and through 200 years of wandering, I saw the child in black smiling at me.

——Miss Bai Ji, you are the first person I have ever seen who will stand up and speak for me. Although I don’t understand why you are so angry, I still thank you very much. You are such a brave girl Woolen cloth.

So I stretched out my hands and hugged him back in the same way.

"Don't worry, I will always stand by Mrs. Tong Mo's side. I said it before in hell. Next time, if someone says that your life is meaningless, watch me beat her for you. I But it’s a god, and the gods must keep their promises.”

"Hey, but does Xiaoran really still curse?" Ghost asked curiously, "I don't think I've heard you mention it before?"

Now I feel a little embarrassed.

"Well...Of course I won't, who ever learned that disgusting thing, the purification curse is not bad. But the boy from Yagyu's family who asked you to cut your hand with a knife, really died shortly after returning. So I don't know if my curse has come true... After all, I also cursed him to rot all over..."

"Ahahaha, it sounds scary, but Miss Bai Ji hasn't changed at all, especially her angry look."

"Who is angry, I'm not angry! I feel sorry for my new clothes... Ah, by the way, your goldfish is still in that store, go and get it back!"

Because the hem was torn, I simply took off the gorgeous Naka-furisode and bought a yukata to change it in, which made me feel much more refreshed.

When I came out of the store, I realized that the crowd was rushing towards the Arakawa. I heard that there was going to be fireworks.

There were too many people, so the two of us found a roof and watched the gorgeous fireworks rising in the distance while drinking.

"Hey, Master Tong Mo, you seem to have said before that you want to go back to the capital, right?"

Huahuo was reflected in the ghostly eyes, and he smiled lightly.

"Is Xiao Ran trying to avoid the Demon Slayers? Actually, there's no need for it. These children alone can't do anything. Besides, there's Mrs. Mitsuru over there, so don't worry about it at all."

"I really don't want to meet these children again, but it's not all for this reason. I... want to see the place where you grew up."

The ghost seemed to be stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay, then let's go in a few days. If we happen to stay there until autumn, we can see beautiful maple leaves~"

"Then it's settled. Ah, I forgot to say that, happy Qixi Festival."

"Happy Qixi Festival, Xiaoran."
