Chapter 196
In Hiroma, the seven members of the Ubuyashiki family all had talismans with eye-like pictures on their foreheads. That was a talisman that Ubuyashiki Yoya had asked for after referring to the anime she had brought him, and he had then sent someone to contact them.
The people sent out were none other than the Shi Tou brothers.
It's amazing, isn't it? There are actually demons who are willing to cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps just to send Muzan Kibutsuji to hell.
The entire room was filled with seven long tables, which were filled with blank papers and pens and ink.
Each of them had his own division of labor. After looking around, Qingxi found that he couldn't get involved.
...Since she can't get in, she'll just be the gatekeeper.
She thought secretly in her heart.
Holding Sayo Sawamonji's hand, he stood quietly beside the shoji door, his ears filled with the commands that Ubuyashiki Kōya gave to the pillars and mutant crows far away in the Infinite Castle through talismans, as well as the sound of weapons clashing outside the house.
This made Qingxi feel the sense of separation very clearly.
Waiting with nothing to do is the most unbearable thing. An hour, half an hour, or even shorter. Qingxi didn't know how long she had waited, but she really couldn't stand the feeling of her body being surrounded by high tension.
She opened her dialysis eyes, wanting to see if she could see other images after opening her eyes.
hiss--
The girl muffled her breath with her own hands.
Feeling the hand holding her suddenly tighten, Sayo Sawamonji looked up in confusion, "Master?"
Qingxi lowered her head and looked at Sayo Sawamon. She opened her mouth, but finally seemed to remember something, took out a pen and paper, and wrote on it.
[Here...are those souls the former heads of the Ubuyashiki family? ]
Qingxi handed the notebook to Sayo Sahmonji. Sayo Sahmonji lowered her head, read the line of words, and nodded at her.
Because he had heard from everyone in Honmaru that the master seemed to be very afraid of this kind of thing, he had not mentioned this matter to her after Jiro brought them here.
But the master asked now, which means she has opened the Eye of Dialysis.
"Master, are you afraid?" he asked in a very soft voice.
Qingxi shook her head. She bent down and whispered in his ear, "It's okay. I'm just still not used to seeing so many souls around me all of a sudden. It will be fine after a while."
"Then should we remind Mr. Ubuyashiki?" he asked again.
Qingxi looked towards the Ubuyashiki family and shook her head. "Let's talk to the lord after we eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji. Besides... I think the lord has done a great job. He doesn't need the guidance of our ancestors, our ancestors, our ancestors."
After the two of them spoke briefly in low voices, they began to pay attention to the situation outside the hall again.
Sayo Sawamonji pulled Kiyoki behind her and reminded her, "It's outside, it's very close to here."
The relaxed atmosphere was gone, and Qingxi took two steps back. "I'm not yet proficient in the spell to summon the sword man, so I'll summon him now."
Sayo Samonji, who also knew the level of Qingxi's summoning sword man technique, nodded.
Golden spiritual power surged out of Qingxi's body, and soon, her surroundings became bright. At this moment, all the people and souls in the room smelled the fragrance of cherry blossoms in the air, which should not have existed.
"Hahahaha, is it finally the old man's turn to be summoned by the little girl?"
Listening to the unique tone of the elderly, seeing another person about to speak, Qingxi interrupted them and said quickly: "Sorry, if you can, please skip the introduction line. We are now facing the final boss match unique to hot-blooded comics. There is someone directing the battle next door, so we need a quiet environment."
Immediately after Mikazuki Munechika, the one who was about to say his entrance line, ah bah, it was Onimaru Kunitsuna who opened his mouth, his body stiffened, and he closed his mouth in embarrassment and silence.
"Please don't let the ghosts outside come in and disturb the people here, okay?" Qingxi said to them.
It's not about protecting her, but about protecting the birthing house in this house.
Whether we can kill Muzan Kibutsuji and bring peace to everyone depends on this one chance.
The six people who are aware of the entanglement between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji will not refuse.
Qingxi pulled out a large number of Nichirin swords from her gourmet backpack. There were short swords, wakizashi, katana, tachi, and ōdachi. "It might not be easy for you to use them, but please bear with me."
Chokudaikiri picked up a katana, the Nichirin sword, and weighed it in his hand for a few seconds, then half-jokingly said, "Although it's a little lighter than my original sword, it's still a katana. I'll get used to it soon enough."
Catfish Oo Toushirou looked at his brothers who were also wakizashi, and then looked at his own head, Onimaru Kunitsuna, and said, "Oh, this time, it turns out to be our Awataguchi's victory?"
"From the sounds, it seems like the demons outside are about to break in." Hotaru said, holding the large sword that was disproportionate to his height in one hand. "Let's go out first."
Onimaru Kunitsuna: "Catfishtail, Kotobuki, you and Sayo Samamonji stay inside and guard."
Catfish Tail Toushirou raised his hand and patted his chest: "Leave it to us, we will kill all the ghosts that come in."
The shoji door was opened and then closed again.
Although Qingxi didn't know what the situation was outside, from the sound, it seemed that our momentum had greatly increased as our combat power had increased.
Thinking of this, Qingxi's heart slowly calmed down.
"Upper Rank Two Douma is dead, the Butterfly Sisters, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga are seriously injured."
"Upper Three Akaza has been eliminated, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Tomioka Giyuu are seriously injured."
"Upper Rank One, Black Death Eyes, died. Tokito's brothers, Fushigawa Minami, Yagen Toushirou, and Esetsu Sawamonji were seriously injured."
"Upper Six Gyoyue died, and Uzui Tengen was slightly injured."
…
As the mutant crows brought one piece of news after another, Qingxi's heart, which had just settled down in her stomach, was lifted up again.
At least I didn't die, I should feel lucky.
Qingxi comforted herself in her heart.
There shouldn't be any problems with the sword man either.
For today's match, she applied for a batch of gold from the lord and asked the sword man to go to Wanwu to buy the amulet himself.
The difference between the amulets I made myself and the ones sold by Wanwu is that her amulets can only keep the sword man in a severely injured state with only one health when he breaks his sword, while the amulets can restore the sword man to his best condition before being injured.
In order to prevent the swordsmen assisting the Demon Slayer Corps from losing their lives in the battle, she was very generous when it came to amulets.
Click!
The ghost broke through the shoji door and rushed in.
After Sayo Samamonji took a deep breath to summon the Six Vibrating Swords, Qingxi, whose spiritual power seemed to be a little insufficient, moved closer to Ubuyashiki Kazuya.
A cold light flashed, and Catfishtail Fujishiro, with two long whiskers on his head, drew his sword and split the ghost that was rushing towards him in half.
Qingxi estimated the spiritual power in his body, gritted his teeth, and summoned the Six Vibrating Swords again.
Tanto Kon-sword, Kato California Kiyoshi, Kato Yamato Shoutan, Tachiyama Fukukunihiro, Tachikneemaru, and Naginata Rock Fusion.
"I'll leave the rest to you." After draining the last drop of spiritual energy from her body, Qingxi was left with nothing left but lying flat on her back. Unable to do anything, she could only say these words to them dryly.
"Although I'm very happy that it's my turn to be summoned by you, Master, at least you should save some spiritual power for yourself." Kashuu Kiyomitsu looked at the girl lying on the tatami in a mess, feeling both amused and helpless.
Then he complained, "How did Tsurumaru and Yaken teach you, Master? Didn't they tell you that a Shinsengumi who uses up all the spiritual energy in his body will feel uncomfortable for a long time?"
Having gradually noticed the loss of a large amount of body heat, Qingxi said with a bad expression: "Ah, I can already feel it."
After a pause, she answered his previous question: "As for the fact that Tsurumaru and Yaken didn't tell me about the consequences of exhausting my spiritual power, it's probably because I haven't exhausted my spiritual power before.
...Usually, as soon as I feel a little uncomfortable, I stop using my spiritual power and let myself rest.
This time, hiss, why is it so cold... Isn't this because the situation is urgent?"
Looking at the girl who curled up into a ball and shivered while talking, Kashuu Kiyomitsu had no choice but to take off the coat of his battle uniform under the cover of his companion Yamatomori Yasutani and wrap the coat around the girl whose face had turned blue and lips were purple from the cold. But it was not enough, so he replaced Yamatomori Yasutani and asked him to take off his haori as well and wrap it around her again.
"Master, the massive consumption of spiritual energy has led to your current situation. There is no other way, you can only persevere."
"No, it's okay." Qingxi said shiveringly, even though he was wearing the outer clothes of two people, he still didn't feel his body temperature rising.
At this moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice hole at minus thirty degrees Celsius while wearing summer clothes, and the cold air from all sides was mercilessly absorbing her body temperature.
"Mr. Kiyomitsu, ask the master. She should have some blankets and quilts in her gourmet backpack," said Cattail Tail Toushirou, who could still think of something else. "Wrap a few more. They should be more comfortable than they are now."
California Qingguang understood immediately, but before he could speak to Qingxi, although she was already as cold as a lump of ice, she still had her wits about her and had already taken out two thick quilts with great difficulty.
She used these two thick quilts in winter, but when winter passed and spring came, she took them apart, washed them, and put them back together.
Now, it is put to use.
Seeing this, California Qingguang went over and wrapped her again with a quilt underneath and another quilt above.
Kotobuki Toushirou added, "Is there something like a hot water bottle? Putting one in there might help."
Qingxi: "...This...really, doesn't exist."
"Don't bother me, just kill the ghosts. Don't talk, you're disturbing my lord."
The girl spoke in a very soft voice, but her tone was full of complaints, and Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Yamato Moriyasu, who were standing nearby, still heard it clearly.
The two men looked at each other, and in order to prevent their master from complaining about them at this time, they shut their mouths and continued to kill ghosts.
Without the two "twins" around him, Qingxi felt that he was completely at peace.
However, this kind of quietness also made the coldness that came from inside her body and from the gaps between her bones even more unbearable for her.
At this moment, if possible, she felt that it might be better if she fainted.
Because after fainting, she will not know anything. In that case, when she wakes up, the most difficult physical period may be over.
However, she was cold but couldn't faint.
This is a bit infuriating.
Really... it's too cold...
I don’t know how much time had passed, but I could still hear the sounds of the seven members of the Ubuyashiki family leading the Demon Slayer Corps fighting in the Infinite Castle, but in the end, those sounds became background music.
【Kimbutsuji Muzan died tragically. 】
【It’s Jiro. 】
[…Sunlight, it spews out sunlight…Yataguro…]
Great, it’s over…
The sudden explosion woke up the drowsy Qingxi. There were too many sounds and they were too loud. The biting coldness in her body made it difficult for her to obtain useful information from them.
But there was one word that she heard clearly.
The ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, died tragically.
Completely dead.
Unlike the incident during the Warring States Period, when hundreds of pieces of flesh from the man's body escaped, he had the opportunity to make a comeback later.
it's over……
"Ji Jun, how do you feel?"
Muzan Kibutsuji was confirmed dead, and the demons he transformed followed him to hell. Without a target to attack, all the people sheathed their swords.
Qingxi, her body held by someone, shivered as she poked her head out from under the thick blanket. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, vaguely trying to identify the person holding her. After a while, she whimpered, "Grandpa... I'm cold."
Mikazuki Munechika tightened his grip around the girl, but laughed out loud with the old man's characteristic laughter, "Hahaha, if you're cold, how about an old man come in and warm your bed?"
Qingxi choked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and continued, "So the old sword of Heian-kyō is the one that doesn't even spare the sick?"
Crescent Moon. Heian-kyō Old Sword. Munechika replied naturally, "Well, it's because Ji-kun is so cute."
How could Qingxi win by talking dirty to Lao Dao? He chose to give up.
A mechanical electronic prompt sound rang in her ears, and she turned her neck stiffly, trying to turn towards Ubuyashiki Kakuya.
Seeing this, Mikazuki Munechika considerately helped her move her body to a different angle.
She forced a smile at the young man walking towards her, the curse on his forehead now gone. She said, "My Lord, would you like to try out the Demon Slayer Corps' gourmet world recuperation trip? As long as someone is still breathing, we can basically save them by taking their broken arms and legs with us."
Ubuyashiki Kōya was stunned for a moment, as if he had recalled something. A gentle smile appeared on his handsome face. "In that case, I'll trouble you, Aki."
