Chapter 049
"Tell me about you and Tsurumaru," Kiyoki quickly explained the general situation to Yagen Toushirou. Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, she brought up the story of the swordsmen. "What's the situation with you and Tsurumaru? Judging by your height and the 'large wings' hanging from the shoulders of Tsurumaru's battle uniform, you must have been polarized. How did Jiro pick you up from the forest in the form of a sword?"
Hearing the girl's amusing words, Yagen Toushirou was speechless for a moment, but the reliable short sword still found his voice and said, "The original Shinsengumi of the Honmaru where Tsurumaru-dono and I are located left after his term expired, so our Honmaru has become ownerless. Although the government of time will provide a minimum subsidy for ownerless Honmaru like us, with so many blades, how can those subsidies be enough? So we still need to form a team and go into history to do some simple battlefield sweeping missions.
That time, Tsurumaru-dono and I were on a team. After completing our mission and preparing to return, we encountered a rare shockwave: a small history branching off from the real one returned to the "official history." The Time Converter that could have taken us back to Honmaru shattered and was damaged in the shockwave. We couldn't return to Honmaru, and we couldn't contact the Time Government. After staying there for too long, our spiritual energy was depleted, so Tsurumaru-dono and I returned to our original bodies.
Qingxi nodded, indicating that she understood, but then she added, "I understand now, but there's still one question. I have gourmet cells in my body, but no spiritual power. That's why you and Tsurumaru appeared and called me master and general."
Yagen Toushirou was surprised, "General, don't you know?"
Qingxi was confused, "Know what?"
"Tsurumaru-dono and I were awakened because of your spiritual power." said Yagen Toushirou.
This time, Qingxi was surprised. "That's not right. I'm just an ordinary person. Because I have to work for Atong, my basic equipment has always been a gourmet backpack, a dialysis eye, and gourmet cells. Where can I get spiritual power?"
The two looked at each other, staring at each other, and were speechless for a long time.
Yagen Toushirou adjusted his glasses and said with conviction, "Tsurumaru-dono and I were indeed awakened by you, General, and we can also feel the spiritual energy flowing from you."
"...Could it be that because you, General, are here, your system has replaced your "basic standard configuration"? "Yaken Toushirou thought divergently.
Qingxi endured it again and again, but still complained: "If it's the 'basic standard', why did it give me spiritual power? The ghosts here are not afraid of spiritual power. On the contrary, she should give me a sun, so that I can carry it with me every day, and I won't have to worry about ghosts targeting me. If it doesn't come again, she should also give me a kendo talent..."
The girl's voice became softer and softer as she complained, and then she fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Yagen Toushirou asked, "Have you thought of something, General?"
"Just before, when you and Tsurumaru came to rescue Kyojuro and me, I seemed to...hear Atong's special prompt sound on my side..."
The girl murmured, her blue eyes widening. Could it be that before, as long as she opened the Dialysis Eye, she could see ghosts in soul state, or that now her body suddenly had spiritual power. Was it really it that did it?
"Ya Yan, please help me lift my right arm."
With the boy's help, Qingxi finally awkwardly called up her personal panel. At the bottom of the panel, she really received an unread email from Atong.
Without thinking, she moved her finger and poked it in.
Atong:
Ah-ah-ah, I'll be staying here with the Mastermind for a long time. I'm worried that you won't be able to survive in Demon Slayer until I return, and that I'll have to collect your corpse when I get back. So, I requested a spiritual power cheat from the Mastermind for you. I just happened to notice that you have swordsmen with you. Believe me, they're really useful and can be used as your bodyguards... Anyway, Ah-ah, you two have to get along well with each other and stay alive (emphasized in bold)!!!
It’s true!
After seeing this email, Qingxi felt strangely calm.
After a moment of dead eyes, she shook her head at Yagen Toushirou, "I'm fine."
Yagen Toushirou probably guessed it from the expression on her face.
Is it really the “basic standard”?
"I don't know if this spiritual power of mine will be given to me forever or will be taken back later. What are your and Tsurumaru's plans next?" Now that things were clear, Qingxi felt that it would be better to make some things clear at the beginning so as not to delay Ren.
"It may be shameful to make such a request, but before the Government of Time comes, please allow me and Tsurumaru-dono to stay with you." Yagen Toushirou said as he stood up and knelt on one knee to the side.
"Yes, yes, there's no need to be like this." Qingxi was frightened by someone kneeling on her for the first time. After she reacted, she urged, "Yagen Toushirou, please get up quickly. It's a good thing for me now that you stay by my side. With the polarized bodyguard, I don't have to worry about being caught by ghosts next time I go out.
Besides, you are still very short, very short night battle is always dad, maybe in the future I can go out at night."
After a pause, she added, "Prerequisite: Don't bring a blinding sword."
Yagen Toushirou couldn't help but chuckle as he stood up from his knees. "...The General really understands us swordsmen."
Qingxi shook his head. "No, at least apart from my initial sword in that game, Kashuu Kiyomitsu, and that awful old man who can't take care of himself and appears a lot in that sword fanfiction, I can't remember the names of the other sword men anymore."
Quack!!
The sound of crows was heard in the sky.
A large black shadow passed by and in the blink of an eye was next to the girl.
Looking at Jiro who refused to come closer to her even though he was only two fists away from her, she was speechless, "I'm not dead yet, why are you so nervous over there?
If you want to care about me, just get closer. If you want to ask me for food, then wait. I can’t cook in my current state.”
Perhaps it was because he saw that the girl was able to complain about crows with such energy that Jiro slowly approached her.
Qingxi leaned slightly towards it, "Do you feel it? I can lean on you like this, I can complain to you, I can even despise you, and I'm still alive..." His voice gradually softened, "So don't be anxious, stupid bird."
From this meeting, seeing that Jiro didn't turn his back on her, Doudou's eyes were full of anxiety and she knew that its already small brain was going to go into a dead end again.
For example, I'm really a crow that brings misfortune to others. Before, it was my five partners, and now it's this human cub who has clearly kept his distance... or something like that.
Qingxi felt that if he didn't enlighten it at this moment, or if he showed any intention of keeping a distance from it, this silly bird would really fall into depression and never get out of it.
Feeling the girl's comfort and solace, Jiro made a low sound and rubbed her stickyly, with tears actually falling from his dark eyes.
"Eh? Eh eh eh??? Why are you crying?" Qingxi was stunned.
This is the first time. This is really the first time that this big crow that was not close to me has gotten close to me.
Moreover, it actually cried.
It! Actually! Cried!
If her hands could move at this time, she could still hug it or something, but she is a "cripple" now, how can she hug it?
"Ya Yan." She asked for help from the black-haired boy beside her.
However, before the other party could say anything, Jiro first croaked at it and warned it not to come over.
Yagen Toushirou shrugged at Qingxi and gave her a helpless look.
Qingxi rolled her eyes. What else could she do? She could only coax him.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. You're the boss of the Crow Crows, aren't you afraid that your little brother will see you like this?"
"...Okay, okay, I promise I won't leave the clinic until my arms are healed."
"...You want me to be your partner? I can't kill ghosts. Do you want to be a nobody if you partner with me? Let's see if the lord agrees...Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you. I agree, I agree, this should be fine. Hey, don't cry, my clothes are all wet... Don't rub my left cheek, can't you see the ointment on my left cheek? You've rubbed all the ointment off."
Qingxi coaxed the big crow next to her for a long time before she calmed down the crow that was almost taller than herself. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. She looked towards the small door leading to the clinic and saw a familiar figure.
"Mr. Beimingyu." Seeing her own little cub, ah, the arrival of her family, Qingxi stood up from where she was leaning against Jiro. She stood up, and amidst Yagen Toushirou's voice, "Be careful, General," she walked out of the pavilion and trotted over to the tall, muscular young man.
After not seeing him for more than half a year, a large scar appeared on his forehead. At first glance, people thought it was the golden hoop worn by Sun Wukong.
Apart from the scar, the other part of the other person looked fine. Qingxi compared himself in his mind and thought, wow, even if ten of me were put together, they might not be as tall as him.
"Mr. Beimingyu, are you here to see me?" Qingxi asked without thinking after leading the person into the pavilion.
The Pillars were originally busier than the other demon hunters in the Demon Slayer Corps. The reason why Gyoumei Beiming Island chose to come to the clinic at this time was not because Ubuyashiki Kōya had something to do and summoned him, and after the two of them finished talking, he came to see her. She could only think of the possibility that he came to see her on purpose.
Compared with the former, he had heard from Yagen Toushirou that he had come to see him while he was in a coma, and now that he heard that he had woken up, it was more likely that he would come to see him again.
Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and said "Namo Amitabha". Then, as Qingxi looked shocked, two lines of blue tears began to flow from his two blind eyes.

"Bei, Mr. Bei Mingyu, have you encountered any particularly big blow in the past six months?" Qingxi couldn't help but lower his voice by an octave when he spoke, for fear that the other party had been stimulated in some way and if he didn't show any tact, it would make the stimulation worse.
"Yes, did something happen to Youta, Sho, Airi and the others? Or did something happen to Sayaka?" Qingxi had all sorts of random guesses in her mind, but no matter how she thought about it, it seemed unlikely.
As for the former, all three are with Mr. Kuwashima, the Lightning Breathing trainer. Although the former Sound Pillar lost one leg and retreated from the pillar, it doesn't mean that he has lost all his strength. How could an ordinary demon attack Momoyama? As for Sayaka, it should be impossible either.
Ubuyashiki Kyouya has always been very prudent in doing things. How could the adoptive family he found for Sayaka be so easily targeted by ghosts? Maybe their family also lights the wisteria scent every night. Families that know about ghosts, as long as they don't encounter an unlucky ghost with pica like her, those ghosts won't put out such a large piece of food and specifically target people in the house that lights the wisteria scent.
After thinking about it for a while, Qingxiren was a little confused because he still couldn't figure out why Beiming Island Xingming was crying.
Could it be that she just comforted a crow and now she is going to comfort people?
But you also have to let her know what he's crying for? How can you comfort her or talk to her if she doesn't know anything?
It's impossible that she cried because she was sensitive after hearing that she was attacked by a ghost.
Qingxi was guessing in her mind, but she was immediately stunned.
Well, it's not impossible.
Thinking back to when they were in the temple, this guy would rather keep things in his heart than ask Yota and the others why they didn't listen to him and didn't come to him when the ghosts rushed to the temple... Obviously, as long as he asked, Yota and the other three would definitely explain things to him and clear up the misunderstanding, but Beiming Island Xingming was awkward and sensitive in his heart, and it took several days before he finally felt comfortable enough to talk about the grudge he had with Yota, Xiang, Airi and the others.
The more Qingxi thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and his expression became strange.
She began to wonder what holiday it was that required her to comfort all these grown men today, otherwise why would they come to her crying one after another?
"Mr. Beimingyu, are you blaming yourself for what happened to me?" she asked carefully.
"I'm sorry, if I had been with Axi at that time, you wouldn't have almost been eaten by a ghost." Beimingyu Xingming said with tears continuing to flow from his blind eyes.
After determining where the chapter was, Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She leaned against Beimingyu Xingming and rubbed his arm with her uninjured face. "Who would have known that I would encounter a ghost when I went out that day? Who would have known that the ghost would only eat people who sprayed perfume on them? Who would have known that she would also want to catch and eat people who sprayed the scent of wisteria on them? This was all just a coincidence.
And Mr. Beimingyu, you can think about it from another perspective. That time, it was fortunate that the ghost grabbed me, and there happened to be a crow above Kyojuro and me. When I was grabbed by the ghost, it went to find reinforcements, and Kyojuro held the ghost so that I would not be eaten immediately. At the same time, I waited for Yaken and Tsurumaru. The ghost was killed. Besides Kyojuro and I being slightly injured, there was one less person or more who was eaten by the ghost that day, one less family, or more families whose lives were made miserable. Everything was happy. Isn't that great?"
Sophistry!!!
Yagen Toushirou didn't know what the tall, blind man in front of him thought after hearing what Kiyoki said, but to him, Kiyoki's words sounded like pure sophistry.
Her words were meant to comfort others, based on the premise that the matter was over and both she and Kyojuro were rescued by herself and Tsurumaru-dono in time.
If the system had not delivered her "basic configuration" in this world immediately on New Year's Eve, if she and Tsurumaru-dono had not appeared that day, or if they had arrived a little later that day, none of what she was saying now would exist.
Yagen Toushirou could tell what Qingxi said, so how could Beiming Island Xingmei not hear it?
But as a wounded soldier, she comforted him, an adult. How could Beimingyu Xingming still make her worry? The tears that kept flowing from her eyes were gradually wiped away by him, and she no longer said the same things as before.
Watching the sturdy young man slowly recover his original tall and majestic appearance, Qingxi silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
