Chapter 051
She would never keep a gigolo. He was so old, and a sword master, so powerful that she felt it was a waste to keep him.
So she found him a job.
If you are not good at night fighting with a sword, then stay in the clinic and become a coach for rehabilitation training for the wounded here.
While accompanying them in training, you can also serve as a sparring partner for them and further improve the fighting power of these ghost hunters.
In this way, she could also ask Ubuyashiki Yoya for a salary for him.
It was the season when the early cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and Qingxi's two arms could finally have the plaster removed.
Yaogen Toushirou looked at the girl, who was so excited about having the cast removed that she couldn't even sit still. As he was removing the cast, he reminded her, "The general's arms are only just getting better. Don't lift anything heavy for now. Wait until half a month or a month."
"Yeah, I understand." Qingxi nodded in response.
But when Yagen Toushirou let her go, she turned around and rushed out.
"Sister A-ling, Sister Riko, I'm fine now. I'll go to the ward with you!"
Listening to the girl's carefree voice coming from the inner corridor, Yagen Toushirou shook his head.
The general's actual age should be quite old, but his personality is more like that of a child. In this respect, he is a bit like his brothers.
"Iguro?"
Although Qingxi did not get Koharu Aya's consent to start work right away, she still followed her to the ward. However, she did not expect to meet an acquaintance here.
Walking to the boy who was lying motionless on the hospital bed like a salted fish, Qingxi reached out and touched the head of the white snake with red eyes that was hovering beside the boy's pillow, and the white snake did not seem to have any intention of attacking her.
"It's been over a year since we last met, and aside from cutting your hair short, you haven't changed at all, don't you think, Kabuki?"
Her eyes swept over his left leg, which was exposed in a cast, and a complex emotion flashed in her blue eyes.
"What's that look on your face?" Iguro Xiaobanai, who hadn't even tried to greet the girl until she came over, couldn't help but spit out venom at her, "So disgusting."
"Ah, nothing." After all, she had only been living in the same dorm with him for a week, and even though she had been suffering from his harsh words for so long, she was mentally prepared for them. "I just feel like we're destined to be together."
Iguro Obanai: “???”
"As a woman, how come you don't have any dignity at all?"
Qingxi looked suspicious. "Your leg is in a cast. Three months ago, on New Year's Eve, I encountered a ghost and both my arms were broken and in casts. Isn't that quite fateful? How can you bring this up with modesty?"
Iguro Obanai realized that he was mistaken and was silent for a moment. Then he asked, "Did you encounter a ghost?"
"Yes, a female ghost with a pica habit of eating things with scent on their bodies." She raised her hand and scratched her left face, which was now smooth and without a single long scar. "She wouldn't let go even if I sprayed wisteria perfume on me. Look, there's a long cut on this side of my face, and it bled a lot.
But then I applied the ointment I gave you before, and it healed after half a month."
"Speaking of which." Her gaze fell on the lower half of his face, which was covered by bandages. Remembering that he didn't like others mentioning the scar on his face that looked like a snake's mouth, Qingxi frowned and asked vaguely, "Is the scar cream not effective? Why do you still wrap your face with circles of bandages? Don't you feel shortness of breath?"
Iguro Obanei stared at her face for a while before looking away. In response to the girl's words, he said coldly, "It's your business. I'm happy to do that."
Qingxi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Are you being tsundere?"
However, what I got was the other party's disregard for me.
Qingxi: “…”
Forget it, she was in a good mood today, so she didn't bother with him.
She waved to Kabukimaru and began to invite his spiritual white snake, "I'm going to the crow house to cook for the crows. Kabukimaru, do you want to come with me? It's boring to stay here all the time. If you come with me, I'll cook for you."
"Hey, don't try to seduce my Kabuki."
The girl's tone was too obvious as if she wanted to kidnap someone else's child. Even though Iguro Obana knew that the other party had no such intention, he still couldn't help but become alert.
"Are you still worried about me?"
It's because it's you that he's even more worried.
Iguro Obanai thought silently in her heart.
The other person's expression almost showed what he was thinking, how could Qingxi not see it? She sighed and turned away.
"Hey!" The girl turned around and left without saying a word, which made Ihei Xiaoban's eyebrows twitched.
"What are you doing?" Qingxi turned around and asked unhappily.
"You... forget it, just take Kabanaru out for some fresh air." Iguro Obana compromised awkwardly.
There is a high turnover of people in the clinic, and it would be too boring for Diwan to stay with him all the time. But if he lets the snake out, he is worried that it will be treated as a dangerous animal and killed or driven away. In this way, Qingxi, who is brave, not afraid of Diwan, and whom he knows and can be trusted, becomes the best candidate to take Diwan out for a walk in the clinic.
Qingxi didn't know how the other party agreed and didn't ask why, but stretched out his hand towards Kabutomaru.
At Iguro Xiaobanai's signal, the white snake swam towards Qingxi. The snake's cold body climbed along her arm to her neck, and the snake's body wrapped around her neck in circles. If the snake's head was not connected to the tail, it would look like a snake-shaped collar ornament.
Qingxi couldn't help but shudder. Just when Iguro Obana thought she was scared, she said, "Hiss, Kabutomaru, you're so cold! I'm getting goosebumps."
But she immediately changed the subject, "However, when summer comes, you will definitely be a great way to beat the heat."
Iguro Obana: “…”
Qingxi: "Thinking about it, I also want to find a well-behaved snake like you to raise... Do you know any snake friends like you? If so, please introduce one to me. I'll provide food, accommodation, and help you find a companion."
Iguro Obana: “…”
"It's okay if you don't have it. Would you like to consider me? I think I would be a good master."
Unable to bear it any longer, Iguro Obanai reached out to take Kabutomaru back, but the girl, who had been prepared, slid away and said, "It was just a joke, don't be so angry. By the way, I was actually thinking of going to the kitchen to cut some raw meat for Kabutomaru, but since you've given Kabutomaru to me, I'll take him away first. I'll bring him back to you when you're healed."
As the girl spoke, she walked out of the ward without looking back, as if she was being chased by some evil ghost.
On the hospital bed behind him, Iguro Obana's heterochromatic gold and blue eyes widened. What did he just hear?
I just asked her to take Di Wan out for a walk, but she said she would return Di Wan to me after her injury healed???
Is he taking advantage of the fact that his legs can't move and he can't catch up with her and beat her up?
Seeing that the girl was about to run to the door of the ward with his Kabuto, Iguro Koba turned his head and picked up the Nichirin Sword leaning against the wall.
Although he can't walk now, he can still hold the knife.
He squeezed the Nichirin Sword again and again in his hand, but finally he put the sword back.
Forget it, she is just an ordinary person, why should I bother with her.
However, his gaze shifted to the black-haired, bespectacled young man who walked in from outside the ward, and finally stopped at his hand holding the hilt of the dagger at his waist.
Yagen Toushirou didn't think anything of being stared at by him. He was wearing a white coat and walked in with his hands in the pockets on both sides of the coat.
Iguro Obana watched him visit each bed one by one, and finally came to him.
He knew this man, a doctor from the clinic. He was the one who treated and bandaged the injuries on his body when he was sent here by the Hidden Department personnel... and also prescribed those smelly and bitter medicines for him to drink.
He still remembers the first time he drank the pitch-black medicine the medical staff brought him. He spat out the first sip. The patient in the next bed looked at him with sympathy and said, with the tone of a veteran, "The doctor in the pharmaceutical research department is good at prescribing Chinese medicine... Chinese medicine has all kinds of weird things in it, but you get used to it... You see, after two months, I can drink this without any change in my expression."
Recalling the image of the wounded man drinking the dark medicine with a face the same color as the vegetables, Iguro Obana's face looked extremely bad.
Is that a habit of yours? Your face is so green and you still lie to me!!!
Yagen Toushirou flipped through the medical records of all the patients in the ward. He stopped when he found the page he was looking for. A cold light flashed through his transparent lenses as he looked up at Iguro Obanai. "Mr. Iguro, you need to rest in bed for a while. Considering you're still growing, and I've found that you're malnourished, please eat well while you're recovering."
Noticing Iguro Obana's nonchalant look, he added, "Otherwise, you won't grow taller or bigger. If you want to kill demons, you'd better be taller and stronger, so you can kill them more easily."
Iguro Obana: “…”
If I hadn't discovered that you might have a relationship with that girl, I would have really believed your lies.
Iguro Obana thought silently in his heart.
"What is your relationship with Qing girl?" he asked.
Yagen Toushirou adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "She is currently my recognized master."
"Huh?" Iguro Obanei scoffed, "Are you accepting her as your master?"
Iguro Obanai didn't believe it, and at the same time, he became wary of Yagen Toushirou. "She's just an ordinary person, and she doesn't have the ability to make people submit. Do you think I would believe her?"
As he spoke, he roughly thought about Qingxi in his mind, wondering what was on her that attracted a short sword-wielding warrior to her.
After thinking about it, he came to only one conclusion: the girl must have turned a deaf ear to the words he warned her before he left. Her ability was discovered by the other party, so she chased her here.
But his inner thoughts were immediately denied by Yagen Toushirou's words, "Things are a little complicated, but we have already reported to the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, so I think there should be no problem."
Iguro Obanai: ...
Why did his words sound so familiar to me, as if someone had said something similar to me before.
Oh, he remembered that Qingxi had said something similar at that time, "I have already reported my affairs to the lord, if you have any opinions, go to him."
Should he have said, "The object resembles its owner"?
