Chapter 285 Chapter 285 "I smell the scent of separation." ...

285

Li Xiaoqi looked around and saw that the core members of various clubs in the school were all around the stage, making final preparations.

They were sitting in the middle of the third row, a seat specially reserved by Tanjiro Kamado after he had communicated with the student council.

Interestingly, the student union president is called Rengoku Kyojuro, and is affectionately called "Big Brother" by the student union members.

The core figures of various societies, including Li Xiaoqi, are generally very familiar to everyone, as they are the pillars.

Their faces look a little childish, no more than 16 years old, after all, they are still junior high school students.

Is this the unfinished fate from the previous life?

Rengoku Kyojuro folded his arms and watched the drama club members set up the scene.

Suddenly, he turned around and met Li Xiaoqi's gaze, smiling and waving at them.

Compared with Tanjiro Kamado's familiarity, there was a hint of politeness and strangeness in Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes.

"We are the only ones who remember our past lives."

Agatsuma Zenitsu stood nearby and whispered, "The Pillars don't have those memories."

Dazai Osamu showed a look of surprise and slowly smiled.

"Yeah……"

The back of Rengoku Kyojuro was reflected in her iris-colored eyes, and a trace of regret flashed through the many complex emotions that fluctuated.

Li Xiaoqi was slightly stunned, remembering that during the Taisho era, Rengoku Kyojuro always brought his three little ones to play with Dazai Osamu.

She glanced at Dazai Osamu and whispered, "It's not too late to get to know him now."

Dazai Osamu laughed softly and shook his head.

"Why do you want to know each other?"

"This way you can make Mr. Purgatory call you big brother."

Li Xiaoqi smiled and made a teasing sound.

Dazai Osamu laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled slightly, and he said helplessly, "Forget it."

Sakata Gintoki and Gojo Satoru listened quietly to the conversation between the two and cast their eyes towards Dazai Osamu.

"Let's watch the show."

Dazai Osamu said calmly.

Li Xiaoqi hesitated to speak and ultimately said nothing.

Perhaps, Dazai Osamu was worried about the safety of Rengoku Kyojuro.

How many forces would be watching a middle school student who is related to a mafia leader?

Some parents came in one after another and sat down according to the numbers on their tickets.

Among them, there are many parents of the pillars.

Rengoku Makijuro and Rengoku Ryuuko walked into the auditorium with Chijuro, looking for someone.

Rengoku Kyojuro turned around and saw his parents coming. He immediately put down his work and went forward to greet them.

The family of four smiled similarly and sat down in the assigned seats.

Rengoku Kyojuro chatted with his parents and younger brother at his seat for a few words, then hurried off to arrange the work on site.

Li Xiaoqi curved his eyebrows and looked at the pillars of his previous life leading their families to their seats. Seeing the harmonious scene, he couldn't help but feel happy for them.

Suddenly, a look of envy appeared in her eyes. She lowered her eyes and quickly hid the melancholy in her heart.

“It’s like seeing the end.”

Sakata Gintoki's voice came from my ear.

Li Xiaoqi looked around, saw the happy smiles on the pillars' faces, and responded with emotion.

"Yes."

Tanjiro Kamado's parents walked in and raised their hands to greet him when they saw Tanjiro and Nezuko. There were no children around them and it seemed that they did not bring any children with them.

Zaomen Kuizhi was standing aside with her big belly, supported by her husband.

Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko hurried to their parents and took them to their seats while talking.

Gojo Satoru stroked his chin with interest, and learned about the reincarnation of these boys and girls from the conversation between Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki.

"This underworld is truly wonderful. Family and friends from past lives meet in this life. They must have accumulated a lot of merit and have many unfinished connections."

Li Xiaoqi couldn't help but laugh when he heard his words: "Wu, you talk like a Taoist priest."

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and waved his five fingers in front of Li Xiaoqi.

"Am I not a Japanese Taoist priest?"

Li Xiaoqi blinked and opened his lips slightly, "Ah... it feels similar?"

After hearing this, Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, what do you mean by that subtle smile?"

Gojo Satoru twitched the corner of his mouth and complained.

After waiting for a while, the curtain was completely lowered, and the host came in with the music and read the opening lines.

The first one is the opening program, performed by the Light Music Society.

As the curtain opened, the figures of the Kamado siblings, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira appeared on the stage.

In an instant, Li Xiaoqi's eyes widened. He never expected that these four people would be from the Light Music Club.

Inosuke Hashibira raised his hands, grinned excitedly, and beat two beats with the drumsticks.

Nezuko danced her hands on the keyboard and soon entered into an exciting rhythm, quickly joined by Tanjiro Kamado's bass and Zenitsu Agatsuma's guitar.

"The phantom flower blooming in someone's sleeve casts a faint blue light there..."

Tanjiro Kamado sang out loud, and the familiar music and lyrics made Li Xiaoqi stunned in place.

Demon Slayer theme song "Zankyou Sanka"!

His fingertips danced on the strings, and the boy's voice became more emotional as the music reached its climax.

After the song ended, the gymnastics club president, Tengen Uzui, stood up and cheered.

Li Xiaoqi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the four people on the stage, and couldn't help but stand up and applaud along with the people around him.

"I didn't expect that Tanjirou-kun and his friends would play rock music. How cool."

Dazai Osamu sighed, and the four dazzling people on the stage were reflected in his eyes.

*

After the performance in the auditorium ended, Tanjiro Kamado looked for the four people among the audience who were leaving, but found that they were no longer there.

"Why did you leave so suddenly?"

Nezuko Kamado asked in confusion.

Tanjiro Kamado pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe they want to be alone for a while."

Agatsuma Zenitsu leaned forward curiously, "Alone together?"

Tanjiro Kamado nodded slightly, "Yeah, I smell the scent of separation on them."

"That's amazing! I've been curious about how you could smell it."

Inosuke Hashibira sniffed left and right around Tanjiro, scratching the back of his head and asked.

At this time, in front of the snack stall of the school festival, Li Xiaoqi and his group were strolling around the stall leisurely, each holding a sausage in their hands.

Not long ago, they looked at each other and left secretly without saying a word.

It is enough to see them living well in this world.

Suddenly, music sounded from the front. A small stage was set up at the end of the stall, and a sign next to it read "Tiktok Dance Competition".

"Would you brothers and sisters like to join us?"

A young man stepped forward and asked enthusiastically.

"The team that wins first place in the dance competition will receive a ticket for an all-you-can-eat meal at the school festival!"

His eyes sparkled and he looked at Li Xiaoqi and his group with great anticipation.

Li Xiaoqi swallowed the last bite of the grilled sausage and looked at his companions beside him.

“Eat as much as you want…”

Gojo Satoru and Sakata Gintoki squatted in front of the signboard and began to study it seriously.

"What are the rules?"

Gojo Satoru raised his hand and asked.

"Members of our dance club are judges. If someone stops to watch during the dance, we'll let passersby vote. As long as the vote score is higher than the previous competition group, they will receive a meal ticket."

The boy answered very positively.

Gojo Satoru pondered for a moment, patted Dazai Osamu on the back, and said, "How about it? Dazai, do you want to try it?"

Dazai Osamu opened his eyes wide, pointed at himself and said dissatisfiedly: "You want an all-you-can-eat ticket, why do you want me to participate?"

"Well...were you very excited when you were dancing in women's clothing with Mr. Chuuya?"

Gojo Satoru couldn't help laughing when he recalled the scene where Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya were forced by the system to dance in women's clothing.

Dazai's forehead twitched, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Be careful or I'll assassinate you."

He smiled brightly, but his tone was very cold.

Gojo Satoru turned a deaf ear and pointed at the sign, "Don't be shy—"

Osamu Dazai: "..."

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki stood aside, watching their interaction and laughing happily.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Nakahara Chuuya's voice sounded from behind.

Li Xiaoqi turned around in surprise and saw Zhongyuan Chuye holding a little girl, standing not far away.

The little girl looked around and saw a woman with an anxious look in front of the stall at the back.

"Ah, I found my mother!"

The little girl let go of Nakahara Chuuya's hand and bowed politely to express her gratitude, "Thank you, big brother, for leading me to my mother!"

Nakahara Chuuya lowered the brim of his hat and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Go ahead."

He said it gently.

The little girl thanked him again and ran towards her mother who was looking for her.

Dazai Osamu looked at the little girl's back as she left, and his gaze fell on Nakahara Chuuya.

"Chuuya really hasn't changed at all."

Nakahara Chuuya showed a look of disgust and scoffed: "I know what you want to say, just shut up."

Dazai Osamu was speechless, puffed up his cheeks and pulled at Li Xiaoqi's clothes.

"Xiao Qi, Chuuya bullied me."

Nakahara Chuuya widened his eyes and felt nauseous when he saw Dazai Osamu acting like a spoiled child.

"Are you crazy?"

Dazai Osamu made a face at Nakahara Nakaya and hid behind Li Xiaoqi, "I'm not crazy."

Nakahara Chuuya was stunned. At this moment, Dazai Osamu's annoying expression was the same as when he was fifteen years old.

He didn't say anything until Gojo Satoru's voice rang out.

"Ah, just in time, Mr. Chuuya is here too."

Gojo Satoru clasped his hands together, a cunning glint in his eyes.

"ah?"

Zhongyuan Zhongye looked over in confusion, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki stroked their chins, looked at Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu, and slowly revealed an evil smile.

"Ding Ding! Should we let Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya participate in the dance competition? Song: "Swordsman Swordsman"

"Audience members, please make your choice within ten seconds. The countdown begins—"

[Wow, the system really keeps up with current events]

【Sword and horse, sword and horse! 】

[Hahahahaha, this is the song that pops up when I open TikTok now]

[Double black jump this, ah, sizzle]

[Of course I will participate]

【At this moment, it’s still the system that’s responsible】

[Cherish the present, there won’t be many such scenes anymore hahahaha]

The comments on the live broadcast screen instantly became excited. Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya were destined to not escape this disaster.

Ten seconds passed, Dazai Osamu's face was stiff, and his limbs were uncontrollably walking towards Nakahara Chuuya.

Nakahara Chuuya found that he could not move, so he allowed Dazai Osamu to drag him to the registration office to register.

He glanced at Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki, his face full of murderous intent.

“…”

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki swallowed nervously and looked around as if they didn't see anything.

Gojo Satoru stood aside, gloating and clapping.

Suddenly, Administrator June spoke again.

"Please invite host Li Xiaoqi, host A Yin, and teammate Gojo Satoru to come forward and dance with us."

"Huh?"

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki were stunned and made puzzled sounds.

Gojo Satoru, who had been indifferent to the matter, found himself taking uncontrollable steps towards the stage, with three question marks popping up in his head.
