Chapter 047
A warm towel wiped across her forehead, then her cheeks, and then her hands. Her slightly dry lips were gently touched by something wet and soft... Qingxi slowly woke up in this feeling.
"Are you awake?"
Amidst the confusion, a deep and magnetic male voice sounded, giving the girl, whose brain was blank and pupils were dilated because she had just woken up, a point to focus her attention.
Qingxi blinked again and again, looking at the strange boy with short black hair in front of her. After a while, she shifted her gaze to her surroundings.
Although she didn't know who the person in front of her was, the familiar environment made her know that this was her dormitory in the clinic.
As the familiar environment made her feel at ease, her mind gradually recalled what happened before she woke up.
Encountering a ghost on a dark day...
Other people use New Year's Eve to get rid of bad luck, but she encountered a ghost on New Year's Eve. What else could it be but bad luck?
It's so unlucky, it's extremely unlucky!
She opened her mouth, but only one word came out before she shut up.
It’s not that her face is still numb, but that her face hurts.
Literally a pain in the face.
Thinking of the scar that the female ghost had scratched on her face with her long nails, it was okay because she didn't feel it before, but she got angry when the sensation on her face returned.
No, she had to stand up straight. She also wanted her face to get better and be beautiful.
Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable lying down. However, when she was about to support her body with her hands as usual, her eyes became dead.
Oh, not just the right arm is broken, but both arms are broken?
Okay, she understood, until her arms healed, she would remain in this helpless, "useless" position.
...So, she really encountered bad luck.
It's not unlucky, who would have thought that the ghost was a "pica"?
In the past, she was targeted by the ghost because she didn't spray wisteria perfume on her body. This time, she deliberately sprayed wisteria perfume and was still targeted by the ghost... Emmmm, she felt that in the future, when she went out, she didn't need to bring wisteria but needed a bodyguard, so that her personal safety would be guaranteed.
"I'm sorry, General. The cut on your face is quite deep. There's a high chance it will leave a scar after it heals."
Yagen Toushirou put down the bowl and the brush that had not been dipped in ink in his hands, leaned forward slightly to help the girl lying on the bed sit up.
"It doesn't matter. I have my own scar removal medicine." Qingxi said listlessly with his mouth slightly open.
She looked at the young man and asked without hesitation, "Who are you? Why do you call me... call me General?"
"Let me introduce myself first. I'm Toushirou Yagen, and I'm..."
The boy's voice was interrupted by the sound of the door being opened from the outside, followed by another unfamiliar male voice.
"Oh, is the master awake? Hey, I'm Tsurumaru Kuninaga. Are you scared by your sudden appearance?"
Qingxi was silent for a moment, then his mouth started moving on its own, "You're really worthy of being the troublemaker, Crane."
When Qingxi heard this, he was stunned, and the two men with swords in the room were also stunned.
"What? Wasn't it originally my turn to scare you, Master? But what's going on now? Is this considered a counterattack?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga said as he came closer curiously. "You really gave me a fright."
"May I ask, master, how you know us?" After taking off his previous battle uniform and changing into the traditional kimono prepared by the clinic, Tsurumaru Kuninaga leaned his white head close to the girl and asked curiously, his golden pupils full of inquiry and thought.
"I'm not from this world. I know you because of a game I played before called "Touken Ranbu-Online". But because I spent too long in another world, I didn't think of you at the beginning. I'll talk about the other things later. My face hurts." Qingxi briefly explained his situation and then shut up.
"I see."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Yagen Toushirou, the swordsman who often come into contact with time-travelers, learned about the girl's situation through her explanation. Previously, the government of time they were in was trying to recruit more people with spiritual powers to become Shinsengumi, and they had released swordsman games and animations to various worlds, so they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what the girl said.
"However, it sounds frustrating for Tsuru to hear that it was "me who caused the trouble" that made you, Master, remember us." Tsurumaru Kuninaga retracted his head with a look of loss on his face. His golden pupils, which had been quite bright and sparkling, were now three points dimmer, and there was a faint teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye.
...Wait, teardrops?
I'm afraid you are lying to me.
I originally wanted to say a few words to comfort him, but now——
She turned her head to look at Yagen Toushirou, waiting for him to finish what he had not finished saying because he was interrupted earlier.
Seeing this, Yagen Toushirou raised a faint smile and said, "I am Yagen Toushirou. I don't understand the matters of elegance. If you want to kill the demons, leave it to me."
"I'm Qingxi." Qingxi said.
It's not that she trusts the two people in front of her, but she doesn't believe that they haven't heard her name from other people during the time she was unconscious. So instead of hiding it from them and making them look down on her, it would be better for her to say her name openly.
And there is another thing, she still doesn't understand why the two of them appeared in front of her and called her Master and General.
She remembered that their true forms were swords, and that they needed spiritual power to transform into human form. So the question was, it was certain that there were gourmet cells in her body, but she didn't have any spiritual power at all.
The food world is full of delicious food, so how does it have anything to do with supernatural and fantasy anime?
"Kyojuro...the boy I was with when you rescued me. How is he?"
There are too many things to do, let her sort them out one by one.
"As for Kyojuro, he has a few broken ribs, but the rest are just minor injuries."
Yagen Toushirou's gaze fell on the bed next to Kiyoki's own. He had heard from the medical staff here that Kiyoki originally had a pair of sisters living with her, but later both of them left the clinic and, on the recommendation of the Pillar, chose to go to their own suitable trainer to learn breathing techniques and become a demon hunter. Later, because no one came to the clinic anymore, she has been living alone in a dormitory until now.
Noticing that the other person's eyes were always on the bed next to hers, Qingxi turned over curiously, and then she found that the bed next to hers was actually Kanae Kocho's bed. After they left, the bedding and other things had been put away, and the empty bed was now covered with a mattress again.
Just thinking about it, she knew, "Is Kyojuro recuperating next door to me?"
Yagen Toushirou nodded. "The first floor and the ward next door are all occupied by members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and since they're mostly all men, it would be inconvenient, so we've arranged for Kyojuro to rest in your dormitory. I'm sorry we made this decision without your consent."
"It's okay." Qingxi shook her head. They were just two little kids, so why should she mind?
"What about others?" she asked.
Since they were patients in the same "ward", why didn't she see him since she woke up?
"As for him, he went to the bathroom." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said.
As he finished speaking, the door was opened from the outside.
Rengoku Kyojuro, who had just returned and heard the voices of people in the house, said: "..."
The boy with flaming hair blushed when he saw the girl sitting quietly on the bed looking at him. He turned to look at Tsurumaru Kuninaga and said, "Mr. Tsurumaru, how can you say something like this to a girl? It's very rude."
Rengoku Kyojuro's voice was extremely loud, but to the ears of the three people in the room, it sounded a bit shy.
Qingxi glanced at Tsurumaru Kuninaga, turned his head and turned his gaze to the window. Whoever caused the embarrassment should solve it himself.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga covered his ears with his hands, "Wow, that sound is so loud, it scared me."
Seeing this kind of Pipiheru Rengoku Kyojuro was also helpless.
After spending the past few days together, he had come to realize that if Yagen Toushirou was the representative of reliability, then Tsurumaru Kuninaga was definitely the representative of unreliability, especially when he wanted to cause trouble.
Kyojuro walked around Pipi Crane Rengoku and came to Qingxi's bedside, "I'm sorry, Axi, I hurt you."
Qingxi was stunned by the boy who suddenly apologized to her. Her gaze shifted from the window to the boy. She was puzzled, "Kyojuro, why are you apologizing?"
Before the boy could speak again, she spoke first, "After completing the mission assigned to me by my lord, I just wanted to go out and have some fun... well, relax. Kyojuro didn't come with me because he was worried about the demons coming out in this sunless weather. So, shouldn't I apologize to you, Kyojuro? Wasn't it because of me that you almost got implicated?"
Qingxi felt that she was in a bit of a difficult situation. In order to comfort the owl's heart, she couldn't help but say more, and her face hurt from talking too much.
"But--"
Rengoku Kyojuro wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qingxi, "No buts, Kyojuro, you have already worked hard to protect me before you learned the breathing method. You don't need to feel guilty, on the contrary, you should be proud."
"But now..." She changed the subject and looked around at the men in the room. She lowered her head and said, "Please help me call Sister Xiaoling, or Sister Riko, Sister Mei, Sister Xiaohui, any of them will do..." She also wanted to go to the bathroom.
Rengoku Kyojuro: “…”
Yagen Toushirou: “…”
Tsurumaru Kuninaga: "..."
In fact, it is normal for a swordsman who is a Shinsengumi to lend a hand when the Shinsengumi herself is inconvenient. It's just that their Shinsengumi is a little thin-skinned, so after a moment of embarrassment, Yagen Toushirou was the first to react, opened the door, went downstairs and found someone to help her.
