Chapter 145
It is a very happy thing for Qingxi to have a new chef at home.
Especially when the other party is a very diligent chef, she would be so happy.
However, this kind of happiness only lasts for seven days, after which she will have to go back to fighting alone.
She reluctantly prepared some homemade snacks for them, including those natural foods that the little daggers liked in the gourmet world, such as fried noodles boxes and free sweet potatoes of various flavors. She also gave Zhudaiqier Guangzhong some dried gem meat that she made and asked him to cook it himself. Then she watched the six people take out the convenient time converter in a burst of golden light.
The six figures transformed into pink cherry blossoms among the blossoming cherry blossoms and disappeared. She put Taro, who was about to pounce upon the light, back on the ground. Then she turned to the black-haired boy who had just returned today and had just finished sending the brothers back and asked, "Yakuken, you just said..."
She was halfway through saying her words and turning her body when she got stuck because before she could turn around, she saw a golden light shining again at the place where Mitsutada Suzukiri and the others had left.
She turned her body back suddenly, but there was a figure that was faster than her.
"Taro, don't rush forward when you see the golden light. What if the other party doesn't know you draw your sword and cuts you in half?" Qingxi cried out with a headache, complaining about his calico cat while also reminding the sword man who had not yet appeared in the golden light.
The golden light dissipated, and a tall, black-haired young man wearing a black priest's uniform appeared.
He hugged the calico cat that pounced on him with one hand, and when he lowered his head to look at it, he received a soft and tender meow from it.
"Sorry, Taro, it didn't mean to do that. Can you give it back to me?" The other person was as tall as Xingming. When Qingxi looked up at him, she felt a little sore in her neck, but there was nothing she could do. The cat's life was still in the other person's hands, and she needed to take her restless cat back.
The tall young man holding the calico cat stiffened, and suddenly he finally understood what had happened when Higekiri-dono gave him that meaningful smile when they were waiting in Honmaru for the expeditionary team to return and prepare to set off on their side.
Compared to the tall young man who said nothing and bent down to return the calico cat that was squatting in his palm and looking at him with its big cat eyes to the girl, the other people in the same expedition team shouted in surprise first.
"Huh, its name is Taro?" A young man with long black hair and wearing a Shinsengumi haori spoke up. He looked from the cat to the people, and then asked a question: "Taro Tachi, you and this cat have the same name, so what should we call you from now on?"
The green-haired ponytailed young man chuckled in his throat, "Otaro? Kotaro?"
Qingxi, who was suddenly surrounded by knife-wielding demons in disguise, had difficulty breathing.
There was no way. Among the six of them, except for the little boy with blue hair and a bamboo hat hanging behind his neck, everyone else was taller than him.
Looking at the calico cat in her arms, and then at the tall young man who was still looking at her as if waiting for her to say something, she frowned and said, "Big Taro, Little Taro, that's too harsh. Can't we just separate them into Taro and Taro-neko?"
After a pause, she added, "I have a crow named Jiro at home, you can also call it Jiro Crow.
...The name was given by its original owner, so it was not intentionally given the same name as yours."
"Anyway, let's talk inside first." When Yagen Toushirou saw the girl who was trying to respond to the men with swords who suddenly appeared and looked at her with a look of "Whose historical sword are you and whose face are you pointing at?", he stepped forward to help her out.
After a brief introduction, Qingxi knew who the swordsmen who came from Honmaru on this expedition were.
Tanto Sayo Zumonji, Wakizashi Smiley Aoe, Taitao Sosan Zumonji, Tatana Izumi Kansada, Tatana Dota Nuki Masakuni and Odachi TaitÅ.
"Where is Horikawa now? How is he?" Sitting on the tatami in the living room, Izumi-no-kami Kanesada was the first to ask.
"Horikawa?" Among the expedition members present, except for the unexpected appearance of someone with the same name, after hearing the name of Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada, her attention was drawn to him.
It's not for any other reason, because in the past, Tsurumaru Kuninaga and the people behind Honmaru secretly teased him.
Aidou Lu, younger brother... Um, what else did Tsurumaru say about him? Childish, money-grubbing...
"He's out killing demons right now, and he's with Mr. Daikuri," Qingxi said readily, withdrawing his curious gaze. "As for when he'll be back, that'll be after the mission at hand is completed."
"Don't worry, I've given them all amulets." She held up her fingers and pointed at them. "Three for each person."
As time went by, her speed of making amulets increased from seven a month to nine a month. It took a little time, but it was also a self-improvement. Besides, she was no longer free to go out at night, so she didn't have to carry five or six amulets on her body every day. The remaining ones would be given to the knife-wielding spirits in the family whose knives would break if they were seriously injured.
I've never been given three amulets at once, even if they were the most common amulets sold in Wanwu, not amulets. The six people were very happy: "..."
This makes people feel a little sad.
Suddenly, they thought of the six people who had finished their expedition here. After they returned, their team that replaced them only saw them bringing back large and small bags. Unless they asked, they would not know about the amulets that can be worn close to the body.
As if she had thought of something, Qingxi slapped her forehead. Her eyes swept over the six people, finally stopping at Sayo Sahmonji, who was entangled by her Taro and had taken off her hat to let him lie down in it. "I forgot to tell Mitsutada and the others before, next time someone from your side comes here for an expedition, could you please bring some more sword equipment suitable for Tsurumaru, Yakumo, and the others?"
Her gaze continued to fall on Jiro, who was twisting and turning inside Sayo Samamonji's bamboo hat. "Well, my spiritual power appeared suddenly, and I didn't have a good grasp on it. Learning the formation to summon sword men and making amulets was already quite stressful for me... Well, plus I was quite busy, and amulets can also block attacks, so I didn't bother with sword equipment. I heard from Tsurumaru that there's a sword equipment room in Honmaru. You can throw resources in and it will be made by itself. When Yaken and Tsurumaru came here, their sword equipment was broken..."
She turned her gaze to look at Yagen Toushirou and changed the subject, "Of course, Yagen, if you guys..."
Knowing the girl was about to say something about her "missing" swords returning with their companions, Yagen Toushirou adjusted his glasses. "You've considered the issue of the sword equipping. Let me believe, for now, that the Admiral is worried about me. Then, please allow me to follow you. It's my duty to protect the Admiral."
Qingxi, who had already learned how many brothers there were in Kuritaguchi from the sword of Sanzhen Toshiro's family who had just left, opened his mouth.
Looking at their super good brotherhood, she found it hard to imagine what choices his brothers in Honmaru would make if she let Yagen Toushirou stay with her.
However, with Tsurumaru Kuninaga's words to the sword-fighting gentlemen who came over one after another, saying that they should all "escape from prison" and live with her in her old age, and if they were lucky enough to go to the world of food, she felt that they might really pack up their bags and follow her.
The boy spoke so seriously, how could she refuse?
What's more, after several years of living together, her heart is not really made of stone, so how could she be willing to give up?
So she chose to shut up.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually turning awkward, the sound of birds flapping their wings could be clearly heard from outside. Then, when everyone's attention was drawn away, a giant black crow stood in the room.
Seeing so many unfamiliar faces coming into the house, Jiro folded his wings and stood next to Qingxi despite the gazes of the people around him. When the other party stretched out his hand towards him, he lowered his head to let the other party touch him.
Its dark, jujube-sized eyes narrowed in delight, and after a moment, it spoke, "The Tokito brothers were attacked by a demon. The demon was defeated, and the two brothers were slightly injured. They went down the mountain to the town to see a doctor. Shinobu Kocho became the Insect Pillar, and Rengoku Kyojuro is now an A-rank demon hunter."
The hand touching Zaijiro's head couldn't help but exert force and pulled out a few of its crow feathers. "This is really..." How come all the things are concentrated in this period of time.
There are ghosts that can be overcome countless times after encountering them once. For Ichiro and Muichiro, they are asked to move their homes down from the mountain. The danger level in Jingxin Mountain has increased.
Next, according to Sister Shinobu's temperament, she also has to prepare three meals for her. Finally, there is Kyojuro... He joined the Demon Slayer Corps at the age of fifteen and became a Class A demon hunter in two years... She had an idea, it couldn't be that both father and son were pillars.
But it's not impossible..., then this would also be a glorious event for the Purgatory family.
She stood up and said to Yagen Toushirou, "Yagen, I need to go back to my room to write a letter. Please take care of me here."
Yagen Toushirou nodded gently, "Leave it to me, General."
"Jiro, come with me." Qingxi nodded apologetically to the six sword-wielding men who had just arrived today, and hurried out of the room.
After watching the man and the crow disappear in the corridor, everyone looked away and found that only the seven men with swords were left in the room.
"She looks busy," said Qingjiang, whose long bangs obscured one eye. His tone was light and airy, like a sigh but also a hint of meaning. "Did our arrival disturb her?"
"Not really," Yagen Toushirou replied. "The general has been very busy since spring day, and she didn't do it on purpose for you to see.
Now let me explain to you the general's situation."
