Chapter 82: The Runaway Girl + The Second Dad Returns to the Stage...
In Suzuki Kawa's opinion, what happened to the Shenli family was a bit melodramatic. He didn't know whether the former saint was dead or not. Anyway, he brought back Yuta's fiancée.
Classmate Xiao Ai went with him, but she was very dissatisfied. However, her expression rarely fluctuated, so the people of the Shenli family were relieved to see that she did not show any emotion.
Mrs. Shion has retired and is recuperating in a shrine. Her health has been severely damaged by the busy affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps in her early years. Now she stays in a quiet mountain, taking a walk to enjoy the scenery every day, and has no comment on what happened in the Kamisaki family.
He just said: "It's a pity that the clan has supported him for so many years."
The saints of the Shenli family are treated very well and are exposed to a lot of things. Each saint is selected when she is five or six years old, and spends the next ten years in training and learning management. After all, they are the future half-masters of the Demon Slayer Corps.
When the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps is seriously ill, the saint will take over most of the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps.
What the lord and his wife need more than deep love is loyalty to each other.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen. No wonder Xiaochuan was gone for so long." Yan Sheng said.
Suzuki Chuan continued to talk about things he didn't know: "Speaking of which, Xiao Ai was originally going on a blind date, but because of this incident, the Shenli family felt guilty and delayed the matter. During those days, they were either looking for the previous Saint or urgently teaching the current Saint."
Intermarriage between the Chanzuo family and the Shenli family has become a customary thing. The wife of every Chanzuo lord must be from the Shenli family, but girls from the Chanzuo family do not necessarily marry into the Shenli family.
Compared to Jie Tai, Xiao Ai has many more choices.
Mrs. Shion was very concerned about this. During the days at the Kamiri family, Suzuki Kawa and several other swordsmen who were guarding lived in the Kamiri family, while Xiaoai lived with her mother in the shrine.
The two of them returned to headquarters while talking.
Suzuki Kawa has been involved in the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps for many years. Yan Sheng has been immersed in the study of swordsmanship. Although he has discovered some of the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps, he has never heard of them in such detail.
He was surprised when he heard this, but also felt that it had been a long time since he last saw the country. He vaguely thought that the official business of the successor country was also so messy.
For a moment, his eyes were a little dazed.
The system is puzzled: [Why are you telling him this? ]
Suzuki Kawa: [It's useful, don't worry about it.]
[Is there something wrong with the Kamiri family?] The system had been so engrossed in watching the latest anime that it hadn't noticed what Suzuki Kawa had been involved in. It seriously suspected that it had missed something important.
Suzuki Kawa ignored it and ran into someone.
Seeing the expressionless Fu Ai, Yan Sheng's expression was slightly unnatural, but he still asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ai glanced at the blindfolded Suzuki Kawa and said, "Kamigo Marisa is missing."
Who is this? Yan Sheng didn't react and had a blank expression on his face.
Suzuki Chuan took over the conversation and asked with interest: "When did it happen?"
Xiao Ai's face was expressionless, but her tone was clearly unhappy: "This morning, or maybe it was last night. The team's ghost hunting has been suspended, and everyone is practicing breathing sword techniques. There are fewer people coming out at night."
The Demon Slayer Corps does not have servants to serve them. When Xiao Ai discovered it, it was already afternoon.
She sent out the first group of herds to look for it, but now it was almost sunset and they still hadn't found it. She could only ask the crow to notify the herds to come back.
"Yin Wen heard that a white-haired girl was walking towards the north, but if she went further north, she would be out of the protection range of the Demon Slayer Corps." Xiao Ai said, "The Lord hopes Yan Sheng can help find her, at least to get some news."
I can't just disappear without a clear explanation.
Suzuki Kawa raised his hand and volunteered: "I want to go too!"
Xiao Ai questioned his physical condition: "No, you can't go."
"Yan Sheng doesn't know Kamiri Mari, so I have to go!" Suzuki Kawa said confidently.
"You can't see with your eyes--" Xiao Ai realized something and closed her mouth.
Yan Sheng looked confused, but in the end Xiao Ai agreed to let Suzuki Chuan go with him. She stared at Suzuki Chuan and said, "You know the northern area well. She probably can't get very far by herself...but it's night now."
Night is the place for ghosts.
The two people set off. Xiao Ai stood in the wisteria forest and watched them leave. She bit her lip and secretly prayed that nothing would happen to the two people.
The strongest swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps used to be Yan Sheng, and now it is Yunyi, but Xiao Ai is not very happy to deal with Yunyi. Yan Sheng has been in the Demon Slayer Corps for so many years and is obviously more suitable.
Suzuki Kawa was not part of the plan.
She hadn't been so impatient for a long time. She took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the headquarters.
Passing by a certain place, she looked at the wisteria tree in confusion. Why were there so many scratches on the tree? Which swordsman was so uncultured?
Walking north from the Demon Slayer Corps, you first have to pass through a small town, and then walk for another two hours to reach a small city.
Suzuki Chuan and Yan Sheng walked side by side, looking at the map provided by the system thoughtfully.
Yan Sheng couldn't help but ask a question that had always puzzled him: "Who is Shen Li Zhenli?"
"Huh? Haven't you seen her? Yuta's fiancée." Suzuki Kawa was surprised. The saint has been in the Demon Slayer Corps for more than a month, and Yan Sheng didn't notice it?
"I've seen it, but I didn't know it was called that name." Yan Sheng defended himself.
Suzuki Chuan smiled and changed the subject: "Do you know what area was in the north?"
Xiao Ai's reminder was not casual. When Suzuki Chuan saw the map, he was also stunned for a moment. Seeing Yan Sheng was silent, he did not keep him in suspense and said, "It's the Suzuki family's territory."
The Suzuki family is right next to the small town, separated by a mountain.
We have arrived at the Suzuki family, and the successor country is not far away.
The crows flew forward above their heads. Xiao Ai assigned seven or eight crows to check ahead.
The news that Yin brought back was that Kamikaze Mari had already left the town and continued to head north.
They decided to bypass the town and head north.
System: [I have a feeling something is going to happen. Aren’t you afraid of being caught by Muzan if you come out?]
Suzuki Chuan was blindfolded, and Yan Sheng pulled him away. Upon hearing this, he communicated with the system: [What are you afraid of? I didn't call Kokushibo out last time, so why wouldn't I call him this time?]
System: [So why didn't you call last time?]
A trace of contemplation flashed across the face of the blindfolded boy, and he said seriously: [Because I forgot.]
There are very few times when Kokushibo needs to be summoned. Except for the first one or two years, Suzuki Kawa almost forgot the existence of this Shikigami.
The system choked. It really thought that Suzuki Kawa was planning something. It turned out that it had overestimated this kid's IQ!
Suzuki Kawa asked the system to expand his field of vision. He relied on Yan Sheng's guidance to move forward. The narrowed field of view made it difficult to see the road under his feet, but he didn't care.
From a bird's-eye view, the scene ahead is clearly visible. The system detects the front and simply uses thermal imaging, so it can tell at a glance where there are people.
Soon, it reminded Suzuki Kawa: [There is a person ahead, yes, that's over the woods.]
It zoomed in, and clearly showed a white-haired girl in a kimono looking around in panic at the edge of the dark woods.
The two of them were less than a hundred meters away from the woods.
Yan Sheng stared at the road under his feet carefully, reminding Suzuki Chuan from time to time. He held the Nichirin Sword in his other hand and had to be alert to whether there were any ghosts around.
The small town is the area of protection of the Demon Slayer Corps. The people in the town are very friendly to the Demon Slayer Corps. After all, they have accepted the protection of the swordsmen.
But if you go further north, you will reach a place where the Demon Slayer Corps rarely goes.
It was a complete coincidence that Shiyin came near Jiguo.
The crow discovered something and turned back. Suzuki Chuan heard the sound of the wind and raised his arm. The crow landed on his arm and said, "Front! Front!"
Yan Sheng looked ahead and saw a deep forest. In the distance, he saw a figure at the edge of the forest, looking around nervously.
This is the person they are looking for.
Yan Sheng thought to himself.
Suzuki Kawaya looked up, pretending to maintain his blind persona: "Did you find it?"
"Yes, there is a person over there, it seems so." Yan Sheng pulled Suzuki Chuan over.
After taking two steps, Suzuki Chuan broke free from Yan Sheng's hand and said in a tense voice, "No, there's a ghost."
He flipped his wrist and the bow of Artemis appeared in his hand. He quickly drew the bow and drew the arrow. The arrow flew off the string and flew into the deep woods.
Mari Kamiya was startled by the sudden sound of breaking air. She looked up and saw a familiar figure that frightened her.
The kimono embroidered with red plum blossoms was already a little dirty. She subconsciously took a few steps back and her back hit the tree trunk.
The blond boy, covered in a black cloth, also tilted his head. She could feel a gaze on her, with a hint of amusement. Was it an illusion? This person was clearly invisible.
However, that day at home, this person was also blindfolded. He only took a look at where she was and concluded that she was not her sister.
The patriarch also warned her not to offend this person.
Mari Kamikaze bit her lip, clutching the wide sleeves of her kimono, and her expression became even more panicked as she watched two boys of similar build approaching.
She could actually feel something strange in the woods, otherwise she wouldn't be wandering around here. She just didn't expect that the Demon Slayer Corps would come looking for her even though she was so far away from them.
Thinking of this, her already ugly face turned even paler.
"Hey, long time no see, Miss Mari." Suzuki Kawa held the bow made of tangled branches in one hand. The restoration of his perspective allowed him to not rely on Yan Sheng's guidance. His head turned towards Mari Kamioka, even though the other party did not say a word from beginning to end.
"Can you... let me go?" Shinji Manari loosened her teeth that were biting her lips, her voice trembling slightly.
"I don't want to marry him! I don't like him at all! I don't want to replace my sister—"
Suzuki Chuan raised his finger to his mouth: "Shh."
Seeing Suzuki Kawa's actions, Kamio Mari's excited words were extinguished. Her pupils shrank, and the next second, her throat was really unable to make a sound.
A gray-green hand grasped her fragile neck.
As a member of the Shenli family, she immediately realized something, and fear spread across her little face. The cannibal behind her tightened his grip, and her face immediately turned purple. She weakly slapped the cannibal's wrist that was grabbing her neck.
"How rude." Suzuki Chuan sighed, "Yan Sheng, do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sun Blade was instantly unsheathed. A cold light flashed, and a clean and sharp slash fell towards Kamisama Mari. The girl closed her eyes in fear.
What awaited her was not severe pain, but a sudden relaxation in her neck. She covered her neck, unable to even breathe deeply.
The cannibal didn't expect that this human was so fast and had such precise control of the blade. In a moment of carelessness, he could only throw away Shen Li Zhenli.
It was forced to take a few steps back, a look of fear flashed across its face, but before it could continue to move, a light arrow came through the air, and it was blown away by the huge force and nailed into the trunk of a big tree behind it.
Mari Kamikaze watched this scene with her eyes wide open.
Didn't they say that this person has become a cripple?
It only took one arrow to kill the ghost.
Or... She looked at the blindfold and felt a deeper fear in her heart. This man was blind, so how could he shoot the cannibal so accurately?
She was the only one who spoke. Could it be that this person was targeting her from the beginning?
Yan Sheng frowned, ignoring the change in Kamisama's expression. Instead, he raised his sword and chopped off the demon's head. After taking a closer look, he said to Suzuki Kawa, who had put down his bow and walked over, "It looks like this is an evil demon that has eaten a lot of humans."
"It's just a matter of one arrow." Suzuki Chuan said lightly, "Since we've found the person, let's go back first."
Although he was not afraid of Muzan causing trouble, he was also tired of dealing with the other person present. It was easy to explain to Yan Sheng, but it was obvious that Kamisamachi Manari was unyielding.
When the white-haired girl heard that they were going to take her back, she wanted to speak immediately, but the injury to her neck made her voice hoarse and intermittent: "I... I don't want to... Please... let me go..."
Suzuki Chuan looked at her and said, "If we let you go, it would be difficult for us to explain to our master and your family."
Tears welled up in Kamikaze Mari's eyes and she kept shaking her head.
Yan Sheng is not the type to force others, and he was a little embarrassed for a moment and could only look at Suzuki Kawa.
"Oh? Where are you going after you leave?" Suzuki Kawa didn't think that Kanri Mari ran away in a fit of rage.
Kamisaki Mari seemed to see hope in Suzuki Kawa's tone. She pointed to the north and broke out a shocking news: "Over there... my sister... will protect me... Young Master Suzuki likes... her..."
Um?
Jiguo Yansheng subconsciously looked at Suzuki Kawa.
Suzuki Kawa didn't expect this to happen and was stunned for a moment.
In his memory, this place was very close to the Suzuki family's area. Suzuki Kawakami frowned under the cloth. How could the Kamio family and the Suzuki family be related?
But a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from deep in the forest. Suzuki Kawa turned his head, and the system tactfully covered the entire forest with its view.
The forest looked small, but very deep, stretching along the foot of the mountain all the way to the foot of another mountain. Suzuki Kawa felt that it looked familiar, and wondered why this place was so similar to the mountain behind the Suzuki family's house.
"Wait, there's something fishy." Yan Sheng's expression turned cold and he drew out the Sun Wheel Sword again. They stood at the edge of the woods. Although the footsteps were hurried, it could be heard that the owner could not hold on for much longer.
It's an ordinary person being chased by ghosts!
Suzuki Chuan pulled the corner of his mouth and said to Yan Sheng, "Let me do it."
The longbow and arrow shot out in an instant, and the sound of the sharp weapon piercing into the flesh fell into the ears of the two young men whose five senses were different from those of ordinary people.
Before Suzuki Kawa put down the longbow, he pulled the bow again and another arrow of light flew out. This time, spots of light could be vaguely seen floating among the shadows of the trees.
He put down his bow and walked in.
Moonlight fell through the sparse and shallow gaps between the leaves, and he saw a man holding onto the tree trunk, gasping for breath in fear.
On the ground, a glowing arrow penetrated deep into the ogre's throat, nailing it to the ground.
Yan Sheng still remembered the mission, so he glanced at Shen Li Zhenli and motioned her to follow.
But Shinji Mari seemed uncooperative, and Yan Sheng didn't know how to deal with it. After hesitating for a while, he decided to stay and watch Shinji Mari.
Shenli Zhenli didn't expect that this person didn't follow her in. She secretly glared at Yan Sheng, then lowered her head, thinking about how to convince the two to let her go.
Suzuki Kawa walked up to the man who was holding the tree trunk. He was holding a longbow in his hand, with a black cloth covering his eyes. Only his golden hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind his head. There was not a single piece of luxurious clothing on his body. He looked like a child from a hunter's family.
The system helped him adjust the perspective. Just as Suzuki Kawa was about to ask how this person appeared here, his eyes caught something and he froze.
The man let out a long breath and finally regained some strength. He raised his head and intended to thank the person who saved his life.
Suzuki Kawa was standing right where the moonlight was leaking in. His golden hair seemed to be covered with a layer of silver light. The lower half of his face was flawless, which made the cloth strips around his eyes look out of place.
The words of thanks got stuck in my throat.
The middle-aged man with graying hair on his temples opened his eyes wide, and those long-lost memories suddenly came alive. Pain and joy intertwined in his heart, and his hands that were holding the tree trunk were almost drained of strength by the intense emotions.
"Kawa...you are, Ogawa?"
The head of the Suzuki family was in a mess. When he returned from outside, he got separated from his guard team and encountered a man-eating monster. He was chased all the way to this place, and there were several scratches on his face caused by branches, but he could no longer care about so many things at the moment.
He stood up straight, the boy's appearance reflected in his pupils.
Those memories that were deliberately sealed burst out like a tide.
For more than ten years, I have always felt like a hole in my heart has been dug out. The answer that the head of the Suzuki family could not find was finally revealed at this moment.
Suzuki Kawa was a little at a loss. To be honest, he didn't have a deep affection for his blood father, but the other party's love was absolutely pure and strong.
He moved his head and said, "I have started a new life, Father."
Under the moonlight, his figure was as thin as the head of the Suzuki family had imagined. He held a longbow in his hand, and his face was full of calmness and composure.
He has not forgotten the past.
The head of the Suzuki family wanted to ask many questions and wanted to know why Suzuki Kawa left without saying a word, giving up his honorable status as the young master and the precious life of being served by servants.
But he saw Suzuki Kawa's blindfolded eyes.
The Suzuki family will never accept a blind young master.
The system was whirling in panic: [What's going on? Logically, the Suzuki family's memories should have been processed, so how did he remember it?]
Before it could find the reason, another mechanical sound suddenly rang out.
【Story progress +1%! 】
[Current mission progress 41%——]
The system looked at the head of the Suzuki family, not knowing what was going on in his mind, his face was full of pain.
Suzuki Kawa was also a little confused, but he still politely decided to take the people out of the woods and meet up with Yan Sheng.
He happily decided to call the head of the Suzuki family the second father, and planned to make a fortune. The business situation of Ubuyashiki has not been good in recent years.
And the progress of this task has finally moved forward. Today is such a good day!
