Chapter 180
What should we prepare in one year?
Looking at the sleeping girl who was manipulated and put into the quilt without any resistance, Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Yagen Toushirou left the room tacitly.
Qingxi slept for the whole day except for taking medicine and having some food forced upon her.
When she came to, she was the only one in the room.
Oh no, there is still someone there.
The sluggishness made her brain start up a little slowly, but she still felt a small, almost faint breathing sound beside her.
She turned over in that direction, and the feeling of weakness in her body made her feel dazed even when she moved.
The next moment, she met a pair of red eyes.
For a moment, Qingxi thought that he was abducted by a ghost: "..."
However, she soon realized that the other party was not a ghost, and of course a ghost would not be so kind as to grab the rations and save them for tomorrow.
Feel the same spiritual power coming from the other person as your own.
So, the other party is a sword man.
After reaching this conclusion, Qingxi was no longer nervous.
She wanted to see the other person's face, but it was probably dusk outside the house, so the light inside was very poor. She could only see the other person's general outline, and she couldn't see any other details.
However, she was certain of one thing: the other person was a tall, adult male with long hair.
Qingxi, who had experienced someone "sleeping with" her in the same room when she was sick, felt that the other person was most likely to be pulled out to "sleep" with her in the same way. She stretched out her arms from under the quilt to dissipate the heat, but when she put them down, her fingers touched something hard.
It's a katana.
She was stunned for a moment, but didn't think much about it. She turned her body to the side again, almost from lying down to lying down, and her legs were pressed on the sword because of her posture. Then she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
In the dim room, a momentary daze appeared in the red eyes of the tall young man who had been asked to take care of the Shinsengumi, which seemed to have no emotion.
He is Daiten Tai Guangshi, a magical sword that can exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases.
However, apart from this function, generally speaking, it will be placed in the warehouse because its spiritual power is too strong.
This was his first thought after being forged and manifested.
However, before he could put this understanding into practice or understand the situation in Honmaru, he was arranged to go on an expedition that day.
The time limit is until his level reaches 99.
This feeling of improving one's combat power purely on a mission basis is not a good one at all.
However, his brother did not come to Honmaru, and he had no interactions with most of the other people in Honmaru. For those who had some interactions, he was worried that his powerful spiritual power would scare them, so things kept dragging on.
Until last night, he had spent an evening explaining the situation of Honmaru and the Shinsengumi to five people from the Kuritaguchi sword school: Rantoshiro, Atsutoshiro, Hiranotoshiro, Maedatoshiro, and Aizen Kunitoshi from the Lai faction... Then today, he was arranged to follow the expedition team to the Taisho period, where ghosts were said to exist.
Maybe it was because of the fact that there were ghosts in this era, so the team also had a swordsman who also had a new sword but was the nemesis of ghosts - Onimaru Kuninaga, one of the Five Swords of the World.
Up to this point, everything was proceeding in a normal manner.
Until they arrived at the Beiming Island house in this era and did not find anyone, everyone was confused and decided to follow the route to the Butterfly House given by the sword man who had been here before to take a look.
Finally, they understood what was going on after hearing the explanation from Ms. Kanae Butterfly, the head of Butterfly House.
The Shinsengumi's relatives and acquaintances were injured by demons and are now recuperating in the Butterfly House. The Shinsengumi himself also has a low fever, but for some reason he insisted on dragging his sick body to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters... In short, to sum up, the Shinsengumi may be in trouble.
Just as they were meeting up with Horikawa Kunihiro and the others and preparing to stay at the crow shed temporarily, Yagen Toshiro, who was supposed to accompany the Shinsengumi with Tsurumaru Kuninaga, was brought back on the back of a giant crow.
He had heard from the tantos that it should be Jiro.
A companion raised by the owner.
There's no need for him to explain what happens next.
As a spiritual sword that can exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, I was asked to accompany the Shinsengumi who was said to be suffering from many disasters and illnesses recently.
Just now, seeing the Shinsengumi lying there wake up, Daitenta Mitsuyo thought that his mission should be over. However, he did not expect that the Shinsengumi turned sideways and found someone next to her. She was so nervous that her muscles tensed for a moment, but then she seemed to guess who she was, and her body relaxed again, and then she fell asleep again.
The red eyeball with a slightly glassy texture moved. After confirming that his body was pressed too firmly by the girl and that he would definitely wake her up if he wanted to take it out, Daiden Tai Guangshi lay back down again.
He chose to give up.
After waking up and falling asleep again yesterday, Qingxi woke up before dawn the next day.
There was no flint in the room. Even though there were two thick mattresses and two quilts, her face exposed outside told her that it was very cold outside.
Hearing the rustling sound of something falling outside the house, Qingxi guessed that it must be snowing outside.
When her hand touched something long and hard under the quilt, she was slow to react and realized that she had slept with a sword in her arms the night before.
Moreover, the knife was warmed up because it slept with her.
Thinking of the swordsman lying next to her to keep her company, Qingxi didn't want to wake him up now.
Because you should never underestimate the vigilance a warrior shows towards the slightest movement around him.
Qingxi tried to contact Atong again, but unfortunately, it seemed that he and it were not on the same timeline in the past few years, and even communication would take a long time.
The most recent communication was yesterday, and she doesn't know when the other party will reply to her this time.
She stretched out her hand from under the quilt and opened the food backpack, flipping through it casually. If there was another person here who could see her food backpack, they would find that she had consumed a lot of food over the years, and each of their grids had been turned into the number 999.
Looking at these numbers, Qingxi felt a sense of peace for no reason.
When her son A Tong is unreliable, he is really unreliable, but when he is reliable, he is so reassuring.
Her greatest confidence is that her food backpack is filled up again.
Qingxi's hands kept turning over, and at this moment, a large male hand reached out from the side and grabbed her right hand which was raised in the air.
Qingxi: “???”
How does it feel when you are in a light sleep and suddenly feel that the person next to you is pointing at the void as if sleepwalking?
Daiten Tai Mitsuyo: This Shinsengumi may have some mental illness, thank you.
In the dim light, the gloomy aura on Daiden Taiguangshi's angular and dejected face became even more intense.
"You..." He organized his words, trying not to put more pressure on the other party, however, he failed.
Not good at communicating with others, he finally chose to ask directly: "What mental illness do you have?"
Qingxi, who was suddenly called mentally ill: "..."
Thanks, she didn't.
"I think you misunderstood, you..." Qingxi wanted to explain, but she realized belatedly that she didn't know the other person's name. She changed the subject and asked, "Um, sorry, I don't know your name yet."
The room suddenly fell into a brief, eerie silence. The long-haired young man said in a dry voice, "I am... one of the Five Swords of the World, Dadian Tai Guangshi. Aren't you going to seal me away?"
Qingxi was confused. She asked, "Why did they seal you? Did you do something to reverse history?"
Daiden Tai Guangshi was stunned by her question. He was silent for a moment before uttering two words, "...No."
Qingxi: "So you killed a lot of people like a ghost and ate a lot of people at the same time?"
Daiten Tai Mitsuyo: “…No.”
Daitenta Mitsuyo realized that the Shinsengumi who awakened him was a self-taught person. She accidentally entered this era and met Yagen Toshiro and Tsurumaru Kuninaga in Honmaru. Later, she suddenly gained spiritual power, and finally, after such complicated interactions, she became the one who provided spiritual power to the swordsmen in Honmaru.
It is understandable that the other party is not clear about his or her past.
Qingxi gave him a look that said, "That's all." "You haven't done anything bad, so why should I seal you away?"
"What's more," she gave him a shy smile, but her words made her sound a bit unreasonable and arrogant. "I'm a self-taught Shinsengumi. Making amulets and giving them to you is already the limit of my ability. I don't know how to seal things, and no one has taught me... So, don't make it too difficult for me."
"My name is Qingxi. So, we can be considered to know each other now," she said. "Now, let's continue with the previous topic."
"I don't have a mental illness," she said very seriously.
Daiden Taiguangshi looked dejected, but he remained skeptical of her words. He asked, "Then what were you doing just now?"
"Looking through my gourmet backpack," she explained. "Because the gourmet backpack is linked to me, only I can see it."
When sword men appear, they will be given a "modern common sense gift package" so that they can quickly integrate into the modern environment. However, this does not include various types of novels, so Daiten Taiguangshi cannot understand it.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand. As long as Qingxi takes out some more ingredients in front of him and then takes them back, he will understand.
Qingxi woke up too early, and Daiten Taiguangyo would not leave her awake while he went to sleep, so the rest of the time was almost dominated by Qingxi, who talked about what the other had experienced as a sword.
By the way, she also understood what the other party meant when he asked her to seal him up.
After a while, the light coming through the shoji door became a little brighter, and in the corridor, the sound of someone walking could be faintly heard in the distance. Qingxi could no longer lie down.
As soon as she moved, the young man sleeping beside her pinned her down with just one hand.
Daiten Tai Guangshi: "You are still sick, you can tell me if there is anything."
Qingxi: “…”
The girl opened her mouth and met the other person's gaze. She silently covered most of her face with the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed.
She whined, "I... want to go to the bathroom."
She hasn't eaten much these past few days, and has been taking medicine and drinking water. It's normal for her to want to go to the toilet.
Daiden Tai Guangshi: "..."
Qingxi put his hand under the quilt and touched his stomach: "I'm hungry. I want to eat braised beef noodles, not plain porridge."
Daiten Tai Mitsuyo: “…” Her appetite was so good that she wanted to eat beef noodles. It seemed that her illness would soon be cured.
Just like taking care of a child at home, Daitenta Mitsuyo silently withdrew his hand that was still pressing on her, and when she sat up, he draped a long fur-lined haori over her. Finally, he opened the shoji door and accompanied her out.
When Qingxi saw him preparing to go out wearing only a thin inner garment, she twitched her lips and rummaged through her gourmet backpack, handing him a white cloak. When he took it with a puzzled look, she explained, "I know you swordsmen aren't afraid of the cold, but there's a saying that goes, 'A Shinsengumi looks at you and feels cold,' so you should put it on."
Daiten Tai Mitsuyo looked quietly at the cloak handed to him by the girl for a while, and finally, when the other party seemed to be impatient and pushed the cloak towards him again, he took the cloak.
The young man unfolded the black cloak, swinging it in a beautiful arc in the air. The next moment, it was quietly draped over his shoulders.
After fastening the belt, Daiten Tai Guangshi strode after the girl who couldn't hold back and rushed down the corridor.
With the physiological problem solved, Qingxi felt completely relaxed.
After Daiten Tai Mitsuyo sent the people back to the house, he went to the kitchen himself.
He still remembered that the girl wanted to eat braised beef noodles.
