Chapter 054
After Rengoku Kyojuro finished the cheese hot pot alone, the beef next door was also ready.
After extinguishing the fire in the stove and cleaning the kitchen utensils, Qingxi took the dishes and chopsticks and asked Tsurumaru Kuninaga to take the whole big casserole outside. The three of them sat in the corridor and ate while watching the scenery.
"I want to eat potatoes, radishes, black fungus, and bamboo shoots. Give me a few pieces of meat if you don't have any." Qingxi, who had already finished a bowl of rabbit meat under the eaves, handed the bowl in his hand to Rengoku Kyojuro who was sitting next to him.
Rengoku Kyojuro put down his own bowl and chopsticks and took Qingxi's to help her serve.
As the one who cooked and wanted to have this meal the most, he did not sit in front of the big casserole.
The reason is simple, she is small and has a small appetite.
Instead of taking up a seat and not eating much, it is better to sit aside and let someone help you serve.
Seeing that Rengoku Kyojuro was about to fill his bowl, Qingxi quickly said, "That's enough."
"Hmm, won't you eat a little more?" Rengoku Kyojuro stopped what he was doing.
He looked at the half-filled casserole of braised rabbit meat, and then looked at the bowl that Qingxi had taken away, and was speechless. The casserole was full of rabbit meat, two-thirds of which was occupied by rabbit meat, and the remaining one-third was a side dish consisting of potatoes, white radish, black fungus, konjac, and bamboo shoots. Her two bowls together only consumed a small bowl of rabbit meat and the bowl of side dishes he was serving her... So if she couldn't eat that much, why make so much?
If I don’t come over today, what will she do with the leftover food?
The expression on Rengoku Kyojuro's face was too obvious, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was sitting next to him with the casserole across from him, could laugh while eating meat, "Well, maybe I was addicted to cooking, so I couldn't help but cook too much.
When you weren't here just now, the master prepared all the food for the crows in the crow house by herself."
"I see." Rengoku Kyojuro suddenly understood and really believed what he said.
"Kyojuro, you haven't told me why you're here today." Qingxi, already feeling a bit full, nibbled at the juicy white radish that had already absorbed enough broth and had turned from translucent white to brown. "Today, you finally stopped confining yourself to your own dojo to practice."
As the old saying goes, children cannot withstand stimulation.
Ever since the two brothers encountered a ghost, she, a lazy person, has been recuperating in the clinic, and he has been working hard to become a strong person after returning home after a month of recuperation.
Originally, she didn't know about this matter. It was just that Mr. Rengoku would occasionally send some wounded people to the clinic in person, and the two of them would meet and chat for a while, and the conversation eventually mentioned Kyojuro.
"Hmm, nothing much, I just came to see you, Aki." Rengoku Kyojuro said bluntly. "Because judging by the time, your arm cast can be removed, Aki."
In the end, I didn't find you in the clinic, but I heard your conversation with Mr. Tsurumaru in the crow house.
Thinking of this Rengoku Kyojuro felt his face getting hot again.
It would have been fine if he had just overheard them talking about him, but he hadn't expected to hear Ah Xi say that he liked him... well, that kind of thing.
Qingxi was not surprised at all when she heard what he said.
But she still wanted to say to him, "The way of practicing martial arts requires alternating between tension and relaxation in order to improve!"
A big question mark appeared on Rengoku Kyojuro's forehead, "Aki, what did you mean by that just now?"
Although he didn't quite understand it, Rengoku Kyojuro felt that it made sense.
Qingxi was about to explain when a huge shadow blocked her sight. As the clothes on her body were pulled upward by a huge force, Qingxi felt her feet go empty and her whole body was lifted into the air.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga's body reflexively wanted to draw his sword, but he immediately realized that this was a clinic, so he didn't bring the sword with him.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, his left hand on his waist and his right hand raised in front of his forehead, as if he was putting up a canopy. He looked at the screaming figure of the girl who had been "taken away" to the clinic and looked down at Rengoku Kyojuro, "Jiro, what does it want to do?"
"I don't know." Rengoku Kyojuro picked up the dishes that had been knocked over on the ground when Jiro took the girl away. Without caring about the stall here for the time being, he jumped down the corridor, picked up the wooden clogs that she had placed on the ground, and chased after her.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga looked at the pot, then looked at another person who had already run far away and chased after him. At the same time, he did not forget to mutter in his mouth, "We all have the same name, Jiro, why are you the only one who is so unique?"
When Tsurumaru Kuninaga chased out, he saw the girl holding Rengoku Kyojuro's sleeve with one hand while lowering her head to put on her clogs. Then he heard her using the softest voice to say the most brutal words to the big crow on the other side.
"You've messed up all my clothes. Don't you know that even the simplest kimono is very troublesome to wear?" Qingxi said unhappily while pulling the kimono that had been torn into pieces and trying to straighten it out.
It’s just that Qingxi is unhappy, and Jiro is even more unhappy than her.
The way he roared at her was just like a woman who had just discovered her husband was cheating on her. He almost threw the words "Isn't it enough that you already have me?" in her face.
"This is Kabutomaru, my friend's companion." Qingxi's voice was a little weak and her eyes a little vacant for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure. "His companion is injured and is recovering in the clinic. It would be inconvenient for a snake like him to wander around in a clinic full of people. It would scare people. I think it's okay for me to take care of him for a while."
It’s not too much, it’s not too much, but you let the snake wrap around your neck!!!
I don’t even get this kind of treatment, and you let a snake stay there... and it even wanted to bite the crow just now.
You big pig's hoof, tell me, will you choose me or it?
"Who's to blame for this?" Qingxi raised his hands to block the crow and the snake. "If you hadn't grabbed my clothes and flew out the moment you arrived, Kabutomaru wouldn't have attacked you."
Jiro's dark eyes glared even more fiercely at Kabukimaru.
"Hahaha, I'll eat you, eat you."
How could Kabukimaru compromise when its life was threatened? It hissed and the whole snake entered the hunting state. As long as Jiro really dared to attack it, it would bite him hard with its sharp teeth in the next second.
"Alright, alright, calm down."
She used her free hand to grab Taro's opening and closing beak to make it quiet down and prevent it from really taking Kabutoshimaru away. No matter if it was eaten by it or thrown far away, she would end up being chased and cut by Iguro with the Nichirin Sword.
"Didn't you say that the lord wanted to see me? Hurry up, you don't want to keep your respected lord waiting for too long, do you?"
Jiro wanted to protest, but his beak was caught and he couldn't shake the girl's hand off after shaking it several times. Jiro spread his wings and flapped them, and suddenly a cloud of dust was raised from the ground, and everyone around him ate a mouthful of dust.
Qingxi lowered her head and made several "Pooh" sounds. She had realized that if she didn't coax this crow, today's matter would never be over.
She thought for a moment and said, "How come Diwan is a guest? How come you, the host, don't have the dignity of a host at all? Look at the lord, and then look at yourself... Besides, I only take Diwan out for a walk occasionally, and I still have to take him back to his owner after that. Why are you jealous?"
Jiro, who was categorized as a "master", finally felt a little relieved.
However, it still felt a little jealous about the fact that a snake could wrap around a girl's neck. Back then, when it was a crow with a body shape no different from the other crows, it also jumped around on the shoulders and hair of its companions. But with its secondary development, its body has been growing all the time. Now, standing with Qingxi, they are on the same level in terms of height. How could it be possible for it to jump around on her shoulders and head?
With its small shoulders and head, it can at best maintain a lone-standing posture.
Just thinking about it made Jiro feel a little depressed.
Why do birds have so many drawbacks regardless of whether they are large or small? Is there no perfect state?
Seeing that Jiro was calmed down, Qingxi touched Kabukimaru who was lying on top of her head again. To be honest, apart from the fact that he couldn't speak, Kabukimaru's temper was much better than Jiro's.
Look, right now, after discovering that Jiro had finally restrained his whole body's desire to attack the snake, it obediently returned to its nest.
"Thank you for your help." After waving to Rengoku Kyojuro and Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Qingxi said to the Anbu personnel who came to pick her up.
After watching the drama of the snakes and crows competing for favor and how the girl treated everyone equally, the hidden staff came back to their senses from their stunned state.
"No, nothing." He said as he covered the girl's eyes with the black cloth in his hand.
When they were carrying the girl on their backs, they kept hearing the rustling sound of something rubbing against the fabric of her clothes. Thinking that it was a snake, the hidden personnel couldn't help but speed up their pace of carrying the girl.
Let me make it clear first, he is not afraid of snakes, but he is not afraid of snakes and having a snake on his back, even if it is a domestic one, would be creepy.
The pace of the Anbu members increased, and they arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters earlier.
Trying his best to ignore the white snake that was so white that it was blinding in the sunlight, the hidden officer took off the black cloth covering the girl's eyes after putting her down. Then, when the white snake kept looking at him with its red eyes, he stepped aside a few steps without leaving a trace, staying away from it.
Hidden Department Staff: ...
If possible, please don't look at me with those eyes.jpg
