Chapter 114
Big crisis!
This was Taro's first thought when he saw his pooper scooper bringing back a white snake.
Super dangerous!!
This was its second thought when it saw its own shit shoveler with the white snake wrapped around his neck.
Very very dangerous!!!
This was its third thought after seeing its own shit shoveler take out delicious meat to feed the white snake.
Meow meow~
Taro shouted and pounced on Qingxi, showing his little paws. He used all four limbs to hook into the girl's clothes and climbed up little by little.
Just as the girl's shoulder was about to reach its destination, a strong wind blew outside the house, catching it off guard and blowing it away, thus failing to reach its destination.
Taro fell to the ground with a thud and rolled several times. When he stood up dazed and looked up, he found that the source of the evil wind was his elder brother Jiro.
At this moment, its elder brother Jiro stood beside his master as if he had encountered a natural enemy, roaring at the white snake with most of its body wrapped around his master's neck.
"Why are you here again?"
"Isn't it enough that you have me? Why do you always think about other people's snakes? You big pig's hoof."
"Send it back, or I'll nag it."
Jiro's words were hoarse but also filled with excited roars. His tone was just like a married woman who came home from work to find that her husband had found a mistress and was having an affair there.
Qingxi: "..." If she had known that this day would come, she would not have dragged it to talk about those palace fighting dramas whenever she had nothing to do.
Look at Jiro who was completely led astray by himself. Really... do you still know that you are a crow?
And the gender is male.
"Jiro, Kabutomaru is a guest now." Kiyoki decided to speak to him gently. "Iguro is injured and lying in the Butterfly House. He can't come and go as he pleases like you can. If Kabutomaru were to wander around the Butterfly House alone, he'd scare people who don't know him, and they'd probably chase him away, or even resort to violence."
Jiro is a crow with a bad temper and is sometimes more sensitive than other crows. Otherwise, Qingxi would not have been able to get along with it for so long, and it would have gone from ignoring her at the beginning to accepting her as a companion now.
"Gah—send it back, send it back, ghah, tell me! Do you want it or me?"
The commotion here was quite loud, and even the nearby Mahakala had to come over to see what was going on.
Then, he saw a huge black crow without even a speck of color, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang itself in front of the girl.
Daikurigara wanted to stop for a moment while walking towards this side. Putting aside the fact that crows can talk, that was trained by special personnel of the Demon Slayer Corps for mutual communication. But the crow over there that made him feel like the second Tsurumaru Kuninaga, wasn't its head too big?
A rough estimate is that it can reach his chest when he stands.
Mahakulika's golden eyes moved slightly and turned to the girl. At this moment, he also saw the white snake wrapped around her neck and spitting out its tongue.
All the muscles in his body suddenly tensed up, and he walked towards this side quickly.
"Mr. Daikuri." Kiyoki, who was already having a headache because of Jiro's sudden change in style, saw the person coming and greeted him.
However, what she didn't expect was that the young man responded with a serious warning, "Don't move."
Qingxi was stunned. She didn't quite understand what the other party wanted to do to her. However, after realizing that he had no ill intentions, she cooperated with him and did not move.
Daijurikara stopped one step away from Qingxi, his eyes fixed on the white snake wrapped around the girl's neck.
It was an adult poisonous snake. He didn't know that such poisonous snakes would appear in such a populated place, but it was obvious that the big black crow just now wanted to peck it away from Qingxi's neck.
The man and the snake looked at each other. Dajurikara raised his hand, ready to seize the snake's weak spot and then throw it away. Sensing the danger, Kabutomaru spouted his tongue more frequently - a battle was about to break out.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Qingxi, who understood the current situation, put one hand on Kabukimaru's head to push its little snake head back, and waved the other hand at Okurigara. After that, she had to glare at Jiro who was beside her and sighed and said, "I almost threw it away."
"Mr. Daikuri, this is Kabutomaru, the injured patient lying in the ward over at the Butterfly House and a companion of my friend. Kabutomaru is very well behaved and can understand simple words we say. I brought him to my place to nurse him for a while when his companion was sent here to recuperate and couldn't move, so there's no problem."
Mahakurikara frowned and said, "It's a poisonous snake."
"It's okay, it's okay," Qingxi continued to assure him. To prove it, she even performed the "Eighteen Snake Touches" on the dynamite on his neck in front of him.
As a result, she was so well-behaved that her white body even turned an unnatural pink due to shyness.

"Look, isn't he very well behaved?" Qingxi said.
Maha Kuligara: “…”
His eyes fell on the giant crow with a strange painting style. Qingxi "heard the elegant meaning by listening to the song", "It is Jiro, also a crow, but it has mutated. It has become a little bigger and has a higher IQ. Otherwise, it is just an ordinary crow."
Ci, Jiro?
Thinking of the calico cat Taro and then looking at the giant crow Jiro, at this moment, he actually had the same idea as Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
I wonder what the two large swords in Honmaru would think when they see the two with the same name as themselves.
Half an hour later, Mahakala looked at the crowd of people and small animals in the room, and he was thinking about something.
Why didn't he leave just now? He stayed because of the little girl's invitation.
He looked down at the calico cat in his arms, one of its front paws hooked on his clothes on his chest while the other paw was desperately reaching towards Qingxi. He then looked at the snake and the crow "fighting" over there, and finally, the two "flame owls" separating them. Finally, he freed one hand and reached out to the small plate of dried fish on the small round table, picked up a crispy dried fish and put it to the calico cat's mouth.
With the dried fish to eat, the calico cat immediately stopped wanting to nestle in Qingxi's arms.
It found a comfortable position in the arms of the big black man in front of it, and then was fed with dried fish by him like an old man. If the other party did not feed it in time, it would raise its head and neck and meow at him.
She didn't act as obedient as she did in front of Qingxi.
"Senjuro, did you also tell Mr. Rengoku and Mrs. Ruka what I said to you last time?" Qingxi exclaimed in surprise as he continued to feed the Kabutomaru the meat they had eaten.
She raised her hand to her forehead and asked, "Do I owe you two brothers?"
The blue eyes scanned back and forth over Rengoku Chijuro's body, especially his face. After a while, she asked hesitantly, "Chijuro, you, haven't come to play these past few days because you were slapped in the face by Mr. Rengoku?" As for now, of course, he came over because the bruises on his face had faded.
Rengoku Chijuro didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How is that possible, Sister Axi, do you have any misunderstanding about father? Father is a man who will beat anyone at will."
"Mr. Purgatory has a very good personality. He's always very warm to everyone. Even though he once went astray, he always managed to pull himself back in the end," Qingxi said matter-of-factly. But then she changed the subject, "But that was towards others. I'm worried he'd hit me."
"Hmm, so, Aki, have you been deliberately avoiding meeting father since then?" Rengoku Kyojuro asked. Then, he saw Jiro stretching his neck over his head and preparing to attack Kiyoki directly with Kaburamaru. He did not forget to raise his hands and prop up its beak which was about to fall, to prevent it from falling.
Qingxi: "Yes, as long as I hide far enough, Mr. Purgatory won't be able to hit me."
"Actually, I can sense that Father's anger has long since faded," Rengoku Kyojuro said. He patted Jiro, who was swiping his hair with his large wings after a failed sneak attack. "Besides, if Father wanted to beat you up, he would have come over to beat you up a long time ago, but he didn't."
He raised his hand and pointed at himself, "Father beat me." He tilted his head and thought, "Maybe... there's a bit of a feeling of disappointment in his achievements.
...After all, as a boy at that time, I needed a girl to guide me so that I could figure things out."
"Also," Rengoku Kyojuro spoke for his father from his perspective, "Aki, you've been hiding from father. When father wants to talk to you, he either can't find you or there are so many people around you... well, father also has to save face, and you're being too deliberate.
Next time, you can try to talk to Father, um, don’t hide from Father…”
"Okay, then I won't hide next time." Qingxi said after feeding the last piece of meat to Daimaru.
She changed the subject and asked, "What have you been doing these past few days?"
"I'm reading." Rengoku Chijuro was the first to speak. "Besides attending school, I bought some literary works to read."
At this point, his face couldn't help but blush shyly, "Father, mother, and brother all support me in finding my own talents. I followed your advice, Sister Axi, and started with writing.
Ah, of course, I can’t write now, so I’ll start by reading literature.”
Seeing the other person's expression, Qingxi said that she would do it.
As for children, don't always reject or discourage them from doing something, as that will especially undermine their self-esteem.
Especially when you find that you are not good at a certain aspect and there is a brother standing next to you as a control group.
So, at this time, as the person who was told what he was going to try, she only knew to praise him and dispel the wavering and hesitation in his heart about doing that thing.
So she said, "That's great! When Chijuro finishes writing his first article, I want to be the first to read it. If it's published in a newspaper, I'll buy ten copies and have Chijuro sign them for me. I'll keep nine for myself and show off one."
"Ah, Sister Axi, that, that is still a long time in the future." Rengoku Chijuro was a little dizzy from the praise and his face was flushed.
However, he still had to remain rational and not be conquered by Sister Axi's sugar-coated bullets.
"And, besides, maybe I don't have any talent for writing."
"No, I think you can do it, Chijuro." Qingxi continued to praise, with an exaggerated expression, not sincere at all.
...However, the two brothers opposite took it seriously and didn't notice it at all.
Mahakulika thought silently in his heart.
"Chijuro, your personality is probably more like Mrs. Ruhi's, compared to Mr. Rengoku and Kyojuro's enthusiasm and cheerfulness. You are gentle, shy, considerate, and good at discovering the good side of others. I don't know what the personalities of those great writers are like, but there is one thing they have in common: they all have eyes that are good at observing the world, rich emotions, and delicate minds.
Chijuro has more or less all of these qualities... Look, with all these qualities in place, do you still think you're not good enough?"
"Ah, Sister Axi, you actually see so many good qualities in me?" Rengoku Chijuro's cheeks turned red like big apples, and his pair of gold and red eyes were bright and lively. He looked as if he would believe what Qingxi said next, that he could become a world-famous writer immediately.
"Yes, yes." She leaned over and reached out to pinch his chubby face. "I see many good qualities in Chijuro. Chijuro will definitely become an excellent man when he grows up."
Having his face pinched, Rengoku Chijuro couldn't help but grin, revealing his large white teeth. "I, I will definitely work hard." Suddenly, his voice weakened. "I will, I will show you the first article I finish writing, Sister Axi."
“I’m really looking forward to it!”
Looking at Chijuro with little pink flowers all over his body, Qingxi silently made a scissors hand gesture in her heart.
Okay, this child’s lack of confidence has been praised.
Qingxi took back the hand that was squeezing Rengoku Chijuro and was about to sit up straight when she didn't expect her face to be held by a pair of rough hands with calluses.
Qingxi: “?”
"Kyojuro?" she asked in confusion.
"Aki." Rengoku Kyojuro said.
"Yeah." Qingxi nodded, waiting for the other party's next words.
Rengoku Kyojuro said solemnly: "I will also become an excellent man."
Qingxi suddenly realized that her younger brother was jealous after being praised so much.
Then she would praise it too.
She imitated him, holding his face, and said, "Kyojuro protected me from the demon, how could he not be excellent? He will definitely be an excellent adult in the future. When that time comes, I will still be waiting for you to protect me."
"Yes." Rengoku Kyojuro replied heavily, his eyes gleaming. "I will protect Aki."
Looking at the two owl brothers with "Sakura Snowflake" floating around them, if he was not sure that these two were humans and not sword men, Dajurikara would really believe it.
And once again, he felt that he should not have sat in this room just because of the other party's invitation, he should have gone outside.
Golden eyes scanned the boy and girl who were holding each other's faces.
Although, the boy seemed to like the girl very much, but for some reason, in the girl's eyes, he saw not only love but also the feeling that her son at home was being upset and needed to be coaxed...?
Daijurikara, who had come here and had spent a short time with his temporary Shinsengumi, chose to keep silent. There was only one thing: the girl was too young and it was not suitable for her to fall in love at this time. However, childhood sweethearts were fine.
However, he felt that it would be better for Tsurumaru Kuninaga or Yagen Toushirou to say these words to her rather than for him to say them to her himself.
But he might be disappointed.
At this moment, no matter whether it was Tsurumaru Kuninaga or Yagen Toushirou, they would just sit there quietly and watch their master/general flirting with other boys without realizing it.
