Chapter 235

My third brother and I hid in a cave. The cave was not very deep. He lay in the innermost part to avoid the rising sunlight, with his back against the mountain wall. At first glance, he looked a bit like a pitiful dog.

It's true that this place is relatively flat and there aren't any big caves. But if Third Brother needs it, there's no problem digging deeper.

I left the cave temporarily, looking at the clear sky, feeling a pang in my stomach.

I counted - I haven't eaten anything for two days, not even a drop of water. I'm so hungry, really so hungry, if this continues my eyes will light up when I look at my third brother's flesh.

I actually didn’t feel anything when I was running last night. It might be because I had just experienced something exciting, so the nausea from before was suppressed, plus a little bit of adrenaline, so when the sun rose and we started to stop at this position, this nagging feeling of hunger came.

I actually don't have any experience in surviving in the wild. Even in the world of Naruto, most of the time when I was outside to satisfy my appetite, I either relied on things prepared in advance, or relied on the Uchiha brothers, the people of Konoha Village, and Mr. Madara. I didn't really worry about this matter.

But now, I feel like I can’t make it through the more than ten hours during the day. It’s too late to wait for my third brother to get out, so I have to fend for myself.

It's obvious at first glance that this colorful mushroom is inedible, but some of its fruits look bright red, so maybe you can try them?

Everyone please don't learn from me. My current personality is not a normal person. I won't die or feel any pain if I eat something poisonous. It's not a big problem so I dared to try it. If I return to the real world and do this, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble.

I took a bite, the fresh juice was not sweet, and even tasted like nothing, but I thought it was delicious. To a very hungry person, everything is delicious.

I didn't dare walk too far, for fear that I might not be able to find my way back, so I made some marks along the way.

This time I sneaked out of the Infinite City, of course I was going to look for the protagonists. I wanted to synchronize the existing clues, and also sort out the matter of Third Brother, so that I could directly become a member of my team, and settle this matter to prevent any accidents.

However, not to mention that I didn't know the way and couldn't find the original headquarters. Even if something like that happened at that time, the location of the headquarters had obviously been exposed. Given the lord's cautiousness, he must have moved away from there. Even if I could find it back, it would be useless.

I don’t know if I can find the person I need to find according to the protagonist law, so I still have to exercise my subjective initiative and can’t just lie down.

So my third brother and I are now targeting Wisteria House. The people in Wisteria House may not know the location of the headquarters, but they should have a way to send messages.

And these places are not difficult to find. They should be in every region. The places surrounded by a large number of wisteria flowers should be these.

Of course I can't tell where the extra money is, but my third brother can.

It's like asking someone who hates coriander to find out which dish has the flavor of coriander. With Third Brother's sharp senses, he can naturally find the place where there is a strong scent of wisteria.

Moreover, he had traveled to various towns and villages, and he knew the locations of many Wisteria Houses. Even if the location changed, he had clues to find it quickly.

We were always on the move at night, mainly to get as far away from the time and space location of the Infinite City as possible to avoid being discovered so quickly.

At the same time, I also realized that I needed to find Miss Tamayo as soon as possible, even though my ability could have the same effect as Miss Tamayo's - to cut off Boss Xie's control over my third brother.

But unlike Miss Tamayo, my ability is consumable and needs to be recharged every few minutes. I won't even have time to sleep if this continues. Mental weakness is a small matter. I'm really afraid of going bald.

I am still young, I absolutely do not want to be bald!

As I thought about this, I silently calculated the time and looked at the dazzling sun - during the day, my strength can last relatively longer, but it's time to go back now.

Just as I was about to turn around and go back, I suddenly heard a loud sound among the lush trees above my head.

I was a little sensitive. I was reading Journey to the West during the winter vacation. Could there be some monster in this desolate place?

But out of curiosity, I still poked my head in that direction. What if I am the chosen one and I can encounter plot points in the wilderness?

But when I leaned over, I saw a huge snake head spitting out its tongue. Don't scare me, I'm also a person who watches the animal world. How could there be such a thick snake - it was almost bigger than the tree. The green snake body was coiled on the trunk. I thought it was two tree trunks rolled together.

What is this, a plot from DouO mainland?

I stared into its eyes, not daring to move. How to save yourself after encountering a python? I remember that they don't attack humans very often.

No, I am not a human either. I am just a little flower, and snakes are not vegetarians, so I should be fine, right?

Thinking of this, I moved slightly, and the snake head immediately followed me, as if it was about to pounce on me. I really have no ability to accept such soft animals, but the ability I can use in my hands is only effective against ghosts.

It is said that pythons will wrap up their prey and not let go until it is dead. So, does that mean I have to fight a war of attrition with it to see who gets tired and gives up first?

I wanted to lift my clothes, but the hem of my kimono was really in the way. I couldn't move my steps or even run.

It’s all Brother Three’s fault!

I originally wanted to take off my outer kimono and only wear the inner clothes. But San Ge disagreed. To be honest, San Ge himself was bare-chested.

Just as I was testing my patience, a black shadow suddenly emerged from nowhere, and carried me on its shoulders at a speed faster than the python. Within a few seconds, I was out of the python's attack range.

Its reaction is faster than that of a snake. Could it be - a cat?

The mess of fruits in my hand were scattered all over the floor. These were all the fruits I had previously held in my wide sleeves.

One of my flip-flops was thrown out because I didn't have time to hold it tightly with my toes, and was swallowed by the python.

Ah... Will a python just open its mouth and swallow things?

No, this is a comic. Am I talking about modern creatures in a comic?

I am not a scientist myself.

I stood firmly on the ground, just as I was about to say thank you, my hand suddenly felt free, and I saw that the man who had just saved me had taken a few steps back and was keeping a considerable distance from me, but even so, he still had a flushed look on his face.

Wait... He is taller than me, has dark rooster hair, and has a scar on the right side of his face that extends to the tip of his nose.

Brother, you look familiar.

It's you——Fuzuigawa Genya!

In a world where everyone uses knives, he is the only one who can shout "Times have changed"! Because - he uses guns!

It's still that black double-barreled pistol, which looks cool.

He looks like a grumpy old man, but is actually a super cute boy in adolescence. When he sees my wife Mitsuri, he is so shy that he can't speak, but he still shows a grumpy face.

Contrast cuteness, understand?

I looked down at my clothes...Oh - you thought I was a girl, so you're so shy.

A sense of evil interest arose, and I held back the smile on my face. I half lowered my head, pinched my throat, and was about to say something nasty to tease Xuan Mi, but unexpectedly he spoke first.

"This fruit is poisonous and cannot be eaten." He may have lowered his head to avoid my sight, and of course he saw many fruits falling from my sleeves on the ground. He squatted down, picked up one, looked at it carefully, and said seriously, "Ordinary people will die after eating it. This is a poisonous fruit."

ah?

Is it really poisonous?

I touched my belly, and I realized I had already eaten, and eaten very cleanly.

I originally planned to take these two with me to eat on the road.

Xuan Mi noticed my action, ignoring the redness on his ears, staring at my face with his black pupils, "You haven't eaten it yet, have you?"

"...Not yet." If I said I had eaten and was fine at this moment, wouldn't that mean I had a problem? My throat moved, and his eyes, which were originally looking at my face, suddenly turned down to see my Adam's apple, and asked in surprise, "Male, male?"

I remember that there are many precedents of raising sick little boys as girls, such as Hui Lizai from the lord's family, so there is no need for you to be so surprised, right?

Is it because I'm old?

Element alert!

When Xuan Mi saw that I was of the same sex, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of restraint he had just felt was suddenly much less.

If he didn't think I was a girl from the beginning, his attitude might not be like this. After all, the grumpy brother is similar to his brother.

"It's good that you didn't eat." Xuan Mi looked much more relaxed, and the tense feeling had dissipated a lot. But I don't know why, I always felt that he was looking at me vaguely. "It is said that there are ogres in this area. Are you from the village at the foot of the mountain? How dare you come here alone?"

He raised his head and looked at the python that was coiled in the distance and merged into the forest. The man-eating incident might not be referring to the ghost, but the absurdly large python in front of him.

He received a mission to investigate, but not every mission has a result. Many members of the Demon Slayer Corps have encountered such a situation where after investigation they found that the result had nothing to do with ghosts.

After all, it is rare for someone like Tanjiro to win big prizes every time.

Not everyone can be the protagonist.

I thought about the three people in the cave and looked at Xuan Mi in front of me.

Why are you still looking for Wisteria House? Doesn’t someone already have a contact?

I immediately changed my plan, "No, I'm just passing by. You... are Genya, right? Fuzugawa Genya?"

Hearing me accurately call out his name, he was surprised and subconsciously grasped the sword. Although he did not have the talent to learn the breathing method, and the sword did not change color, the material of the Sun Wheel Sword itself has the property of exterminating demons, so of course he would carry it with him.

It was broad daylight and I was bathed in sunlight, so I certainly couldn't be a ghost, but he still showed a sense of vigilance, "How do you know who you are?"

His brows were furrowed, and his expression was slightly tense, making him look extremely ferocious.

I smiled, as if I didn't care about his attitude, "You look a lot like your brother. I heard Shimi mention you before when we were at the headquarters."

When he heard his brother's name, his hands loosened and his eyes immediately changed.

Xuan Mi really believed it instantly. Don’t you even consider the possibility that I was fooling you?

What if I'm a bad guy?

What if I'm your brother's enemy?

Isn't this too different from your cautious appearance?

Did he assume that I was related to the Demon Slayer Corps because I mentioned the "Headquarters"? It seems that many members of the Wisteria House look similar to me now.

I looked over and saw Xuan Mi's excited expression. Suddenly I realized that when he looked at me, his nose always felt a little excited...

"Brother, did he mention me?" He paused, straightened up, and even spoke faster, "What did he say?"

But after he finished speaking, his eyes dimmed again, and he didn't know whether he should listen or not.

He had just been beaten by his brother, and he must be feeling extremely sad now.

I thought about how Shimizu almost beat me up before, and suddenly I smiled - this is not a backstab, I am just helping them to ease the brotherly relationship.

It's not a grudge, absolutely not.
