Chapter 179
Tsurumaru Kuninaga agreed verbally, but he did not wake anyone up until the doctor from Butterfly House had treated the injuries of the three seriously injured people.
because--
Their Shinsengumi has a fever again.
Unlike the high fever before, this time it was a low fever.
Looking at the girl whose brows were furrowed from time to time because of discomfort even when she was asleep, Tsurumaru Kuninaga raised his hand and grabbed his hair.
"Hey! I finally recovered and gained back that little bit of flesh, but now it's all gone again."
He let out a long sigh. "By the way, what's the master's zodiac sign? I suspect this is her zodiac year. Girls seem to need to wear Buddha statues, red strings, lucky beads, and agate, right? Should we get some for her to wear?"
From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, she fell ill twice. Before, her health was good and she wouldn't get sick once a year.
Kunihiro Horikawa, who wasn't very good at these things, asked, "Do we have to do it ourselves?"
"If you want to do it, then do it yourself." Yagen Toushirou's eyes intentionally swept over Suzumaru Tsuneji and Esetsu Sawamonji, "Even if something bad happens, it won't happen to the general for the time being.
Because we have two "Buddhist practitioners" here."
As soon as Yagen Toushirou finished speaking, the eyes of the four remaining swordsmen in the room all fell on the two of them.
After looking at it, Mahakulika looked away again.
The first two people who kept cats in the house fell ill, and the other people who kept the remaining cats didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. After he asked Jiro to take the cats back home, it was as if they had agreed to hand them all over to him for care.
Right now, a group of furry balls were meowing at him, and he could only continue to take care of them.
The two people who were called paused while moving their Buddhist beads.
Suzumaru Tsuneji: "If necessary, I can recite the Lotus Sutra for you, Master."
Jiang Xue Sawamonji: "Me too."
"No, I don't want to listen to the sutras now. I want to listen to songs. Could you please sing a song called 'The Man Who Lathers Horses' for me first? Thank you." The girl's voice was not loud, and even sounded weak because she was sick.
But there was a little bit of a glitch in what she said, so no one reacted to her words for a long time after she finished speaking.
She continued: "Or maybe singing Gurenga would be nice too." This is a song from the demon-killing anime.
"Suyou bones, bring the brine, you have me to wash the eggs
Don’t make me suffer, just make a bag and make some noodles quickly…”
Everyone: “…”
Qingxi: “Ha!”
Qingxi sang a few lines softly and then laughed. "Oh, don't mind me, I just felt the atmosphere was a little serious, so I wanted to stir it up a bit.
Don’t mind the song just now, it’s a Japanese song with Chinese homophones, and the result looks like a pile of food.”
Everyone: “…”
"What's the original lyrics?" Tsurumaru asked curiously. Everyone in the audience could respond to Kiyokuni's question.
"Well, it's not important." Qingxi, not knowing how to explain, chose to skip the topic.
Could she say that when she had a low-grade fever, her husband Ah Tong contacted her remotely for the rare occasion?
In the simplest words, Yiren and Yitong exchanged what happened on their side. She also heard a story from Yitong about how the whole family was killed by ghosts and only she and her sister who turned into a ghost were left. In the end, the brother took his sister who turned into a ghost all over Japan to search for someone who could turn back into a human.
However, because of her, the strength of all the supporting characters in this story has been greatly enhanced. In addition, the death of the whole family was changed to the result that only the mother died. Several of the upper-rank demons who were originally small bosses were also killed in advance, so that the boy who was originally supposed to appear as the protagonist has now become a supporting role, and the direction of the whole story has become unrecognizable.
However, she believed that even if she told this to the boy who should have been the protagonist, he would choose to be just a supporting role if given a choice.
Because being the protagonist is too hard.
He has nothing left except his sister.
But it’s different now. All his brothers and sisters are still here, by his side, not one is missing.
Thinking about how Kyojuro would die on the Infinity Train at the age of twenty in the original demon-killing anime, that is, next year, and thinking about the final battle where Gyomei, Shinobu, Muichiro, Iguro, Kanroji... all died, and then in the modern chapter where everyone was reincarnated and Teriya became a centenarian, she couldn't bear it.
As if she had accumulated countless strength, she sat up suddenly.
"Eh? Eh hey hey!!! Master, what are you doing? If there's anything, let's wait until we're better." Tsurumaru Kuninaga reacted completely frightened by the girl's sudden action. "I can still accompany you then."
"Stop making trouble." Qingxi was troubled by Tsuru's ability to cause trouble, so he pushed him away, stood up and walked out.
"General, you still have a low fever." Yagen Toushirou stood in front of the shoji door to stop her from doing something that was tantamount to seeking death.
"Yaoyan, I'm not making a fuss. I have something on my mind. If I don't find someone to vomit it out now, I can't lie down comfortably." Qingxi said to him seriously.
"In that case." Yagen Toushirou adjusted his glasses, took the haori from the girl next to him and put it on her. Then, he combed her long black hair that was scattered behind her head and tied it up simply with a hair tie.
Qingxi waited quietly for him to finish tinkering with her.
After she could no longer feel her hands in her hair, she thought she could go out. However, before she could even lift her feet, she was picked up horizontally.
"I can walk by myself," Qingxi said.
It was just a low-grade fever, and before she "shared" (emphasis added) the terrible ending of "Pillar Slayer" with others, she thought she could do it.
It’s better to start from a heart attack than from a heart attack.jpg. Don’t be too grateful to me.jpg
Yagen Toushirou weighed the girl in his arms.
Although the girl was growing bigger year by year, her weight did not increase noticeably when he held her in his arms, so he could still hold her again.
"Where are you going?" he asked, selectively ignoring the girl's words.
Qingxi's throat choked, but she still said, "I want to go to the Butterfly House to see Xingming, Kyojuro, Shinobu and the others first."
After confirming his target, Yagen Toushirou picked up the person and started walking away. As he walked, he asked, "What happens next?"
Qingxi: "Go to the headquarters, I want to see the lord."
.
It can be said that Qingxi was very "eye-catching" when she was carried by Yagen Toushirou to the ward on the first floor of Butterfly House, but what could she do?
Some people just feel that she is very fragile at this moment.
Qingxi was carried to see the three people. Because of a low fever and excessive consumption of spiritual power, she rested for a day before coming to see them. However, looking at the three people who had not woken up on the hospital beds, she knew that they had not woken up since they fell into a coma.
"From the current perspective, apart from the more serious injuries on their bodies, the three of them are in good health." Yagen Toushirou said to her.
If his words fell into the ears of someone who didn't know the situation, they might be shocked. However, this was the Butterfly House of the Demon Slayer Corps.
If we were to categorize the patients here into a level, no matter if you have a broken arm or leg, or all your ribs are broken, that would be the best level, because it is common to see people with missing arms, legs, eyes, or ears in this clinic.
So what Yagen Toushirou said is actually not wrong here.
"Next, just have a good rest and recuperate." Yagen Toushirou briefly told Kiyoki about the injuries of the three people lying on the hospital beds. After the girl had seen enough, he carried her and left at the other's signal.
Next, she will go to the headquarters.
Considering that Qingxi is currently running a low fever and it is winter, she has no intention of taking Jiro brand transportation.
In the end, she was carried over.
At the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Ubuyashiki Kōya was already waiting in his office.
Seeing the girl's listless spirit and abnormally red cheeks, Ubuyashiki Yoya knew that she needed to rest, so he asked directly, "Aki, what brings you here?"
Qingxi nodded, but she didn't expect that such a small action would cause her discomfort, nausea, and vomiting.
She stopped moving and leaned softly in Tsurumaru Kuninaga's arms, "It may be ridiculous, but I think I can't be the only one who gets troubled by hearing about this, so I came to find the lord.
With your brilliant mind, I think Muzan Kibutsuji can be eliminated in your generation."
Ubuyashiki Kōya became alert. His intuition told him that everyone in the Ubuyashiki family had a little bit of intuition since they were born. This time, after hearing the girl's words, his intuition told him that every word the girl said was true. With her, he could really find a way to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji.
Qingxi didn't keep the suspense. She started talking and told the three people in the room a story about "The Pillars of Annihilation", which centered on the eldest son of a charcoal seller and Muzan Kibutsuji's sister looking for a person who could turn his sister back into a human being.
The girl's voice was not loud, but she completely attracted the attention of the three people in the room for the entire afternoon.
Even if a crow flew back to deliver a message, Ubuyashiki Yoya could not take care of it for the time being.
"That's about it," Qingxi, already in a state of exhaustion, said weakly. "I'm sorry, I only told you about this today after Ah Tong contacted me. If I had contacted him earlier, maybe we wouldn't have had to spend all these years with Muzan Kibutsuji."
"Why do you think so?" The girl looked wilted like a kitten that had fallen into the water, making people feel both love and pity for her. Ubuyashiki Kakuya asked back with a smile.
"Actually, I should be the one thanking you." Without waiting for the girl to say anything else, he continued, "In fact, I feel a little fortunate."
"We are thankful that you, Axi, came to the era we live in, because you not only bred faster mutant crows, but also sent a large number of magical medicines from the world of gourmet food. Most importantly, you made the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps successfully break the upper limit of ordinary people, and their strength has been greatly improved. It is also because of this that you allowed the logistics personnel of our Demon Slayer Corps to rescue more wounded soldiers in the best rescue time, allowing the pillars to fight against the upper-rank demons and hold on until the arrival of their companions. Although some of them were seriously injured after returning, they did not really lose their lives.
Every member of the Demon Slayer Corps is like an indispensable child to me. Their lives are precious and priceless.
Now you have told me what can be said to be the final ending of the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji. Even though that ending is very tragic, I still want to thank you.
With it as a reference, we have a reference for many things."
Having said that, Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled at the girl who was so uncomfortable that she was completely huddled up in the chest of the white-haired young man behind her.
His smile was like the warm March sun, carrying a gentle breeze. He gently caressed me and comforted me, "Don't worry, the ending you described won't happen. Because, in the world He told you about, there is no you, but here, you are here.
We've already dealt with Upper Rank Four, Hantengu, Upper Rank Five, Gyokutsuchi, and the Upper Rank Five who was promoted by Muzan Kibutsuji. We dealt with them early on. Even Mr. Kuwajima didn't adopt Gyotake, and ultimately, he wouldn't have committed seppuku alone in Momoyama because of his betrayal. Everything we've encountered is moving in a positive direction... Even with the Infinity Train, given the known circumstances, although there's no guarantee it wouldn't happen again if things changed so drastically, we've had time to make arrangements and prepare, haven't we? Kyojuro won't die in battle."
If the potion that can break the extremes of an ordinary person's body is not enough to attract Muzan Kibutsuji, then what about adding a blue spider lily now?
If the former could break the physical limits of an ordinary person, then could a ghost do the same? And the latter would most likely make him no longer afraid of sunlight... Of course, if that wasn't enough...
Ubuyashiki Yoya lowered his head and closed his eyes, just like the Demon Slayer Corps self that Aki described, without her, without mutant crows, and without gourmet cells, using himself as a bargaining chip to lure the other party into a trap.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer...
Ubuyashiki Yoya thought silently in his heart.
"Ah Xi, you need to rest now." Hearing the girl's rapid breathing due to discomfort, he changed the subject and said, "Stay at headquarters until you recover. Tianyin should have prepared a room for you."
"One more thing."
Qingxi was picked up by Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and before the white-haired young man was about to take her away, she spoke.
Hearing the girl's weak voice, Tsurumaru Kuninaga stopped.
Qingxi turned her head and looked at Ubuyashiki Kōya with eyes that were already filled with tears, "My lord, I want a guarantee from you."
Ubuyashiki Yoya was startled. He asked, "Aki, what kind of guarantee do you want?"
Qingxi: "Give me a year to prepare."
