CHAPTER XXVIII

Tifa still came back late today, and Sulfur didn't fall asleep this time, but sat in the dark room and waited for Tifa. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Originally, this room was intended for more than twenty trainees, but now the children are gone, and only Sulfona and Tifa remain. The house was unusually empty. The moonlight hit Sulfona's face from outside the window, and Sulfona narrowed her eyes, feeling the cool breeze of midnight blowing through her body. Perhaps a long time ago, Sulfona's mother was also waiting for Sulfona who didn't come home late at night. What was going on in her mother's mind at that time? Sulfura tried to remember her mother's face, but found that her mother's face was becoming more and more blurry in her memory. Sulfona reached out and grabbed the straw hat in the place, and after the baptism of time, the straw hat was even more vicissitudes. Sulfona took the straw hat in her arms and sighed.

It seems that no matter how unforgettable the memory, there will be a day when it fades.

With a creak, Tifa pushed open the door and walked in. She looked at Sulfona sitting in the middle of the room with some surprise.

"You haven't slept yet. ”

"Yes. ”

Sulfona snorted through her nose. I don't know why I couldn't say a lot of things I wanted to say to Tifa before. Tifa and Sulfona, are they really good friends? Even though they hadn't spoken for a day, Sulfona felt that Tilfa was so far away from her that she couldn't even find a public topic. Tifa looked at Sulfur for a long time and walked over to Sulfona's side. Sulfona was taken aback.

"Do you know how ugly the look on your face is?"

Sulfona subconsciously touched her cheek with her hand. Tifa sighed and sat down across from Sulfona. Sulfona knew Tifa well, and she knew that Tifa had regained her composure now. But the key issues that lie between the two have not yet been resolved. Just like Jia Silin said, if the gap between two people is too big, they can't be friends. When the two met at that time, Sulfona was young, ignorant and didn't care much about who was riding on whose head, as long as the two of them could play together. Now that Sulfona and Tifa have grown up, their friendship begins to get complicated.

"I'll outdo you. ”

Tifa said earnestly to Sulfona.

"Is this really that serious?" Sulfona asked in confusion, "I'm stronger than you, you're stronger than me, are we just as strong, is this what friends need?"

"Listen, Sulfona......" Tifa lowered her head, her watery black hair flowing quietly in the silver moonlight, "Sometimes I envy you, I ...... You can accept a lot of people who are better than you as a friend, but I can't. It may not seem worth it to you, but I care. Sorry ......"

Sulfona lowered her head as well. She didn't understand why the friendship she had with Doris didn't work with Tifa. Sulfona tried to tell Doris about it, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know why she retracted again. Sulfona was confused, but she realized that there was a part of her heart that she didn't want Tifa to know about Doris. Sulfona discovers that she doesn't really make Tifa and Doris friends. If Tifa and Doris get acquainted, Doris will definitely worship Tifa as much as she adores Sulfona. And Sulfona didn't want that. Sulfona knew that it was a poison called "jealousy" that was eating away at her heart, but she couldn't tell if she was jealous of Doris or Tifa.

Everything was like a mess of mush, and the tentacles of silence that lay between the two maidens stretched out in the night breeze. Both Sulfona and Tifa kept their heads down, like children who had done something wrong. Finally, Tifa broke the silence.

"Don't worry, Sulfona. I'll catch up with you, I've found a teacher. She's very powerful, I'll introduce you to you when I find time. ”

"Teacher?"

Sulfona was stunned. She didn't expect Tifa to recognize a new teacher. Sulfona only thought that she would know one Doris, but she didn't expect Tifa to know someone else. Tifa is also very strong, and she looks more beautiful than Sulfona, but she is smarter than Sulfur and treats people and things decently, which is also a matter of course. Although she thought so in her heart, she always had the wrong taste in her mouth. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"That's right, teacher. Tifa hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why, isn't it very inappropriate? You must think it's ridiculous, a person like me would seriously study with a teacher...... What ......"

Sulfona couldn't laugh.

Sulfona knew Tifa very well, and it was almost impossible for someone as arrogant as her to bow down to others. Tifa's swordsmanship is also a sword book obtained from her mother's relics, and she has always been self-reliant and self-taught. From this point of view, Tifa can be regarded as talented. And the more such characters are, the more conceited they become. If it weren't for the pressure that Sulfur put on her too much, and Tifa wanted to surpass Sulfura too much, she would never let go of her body and seek a teacher like others. And the teacher that Tifa can see, how high the requirements are, and how tortuous the process of apprenticeship is, this is not something that Sulfura can imagine at all.

"Tifa ......"

"So, don't worry, I'll catch up with you. Tifa put her hand on Sulfona's knee, and Sulfona couldn't help but tremble, "At that time, we'll practice swords together again." ”

Listening to Tifa's words, Sulfona seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

"I, I actually made a new friend. She's weak, but she's trying hard to be strong. I was impressed by her. Sulfona tried to organize the language, but felt her brain was in a mess, "Anyway, she, I'll find the time to bring her over to meet you." ”

After Sulfur finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the depression in her chest was swept away, and she felt like the sea and the sky were wide. Tifa meets a new teacher, and Sulfona has a new friend, and I don't know why both of them have a feeling of "flattening". It's just that they all played tricks on each other and didn't say the names of their new acquaintances. The two of them were embarrassed again, but now the embarrassment seemed to be alive. Both girls wanted to know what the other person's new acquaintance was like, but neither wanted to speak first. In the end, it was Sulfona who couldn't hold her breath.

Tifa...... That teacher of yours...... Is she a full-fledged warrior? How strong is she?"

"Formal fighters, of course. Tifa nodded and said, "She's a single-digit warrior." ”

"Single digits?" asked Sulfur, confused, "What do you mean by single digits?"

"Are you really a trainee? Why don't you even know this? The news is too closed!" Tifa said angrily, "The so-called single digit means that the rank of the warrior is in the single digits. Fighters have ranks, you know that. ”

Sulfona nodded.

In the world of warriors, the continent is divided into 46 regions, and each official warrior handles a crusade in one region. This means that there are only 46 official fighters. Each fighter has a number, and the smaller the number, the stronger the fighter. When Tifa speaks of single-digit fighters, he refers to fighters ranked No.1 to No.9. The cough warrior Kiri that Sulfura had encountered before was ranked No. 9, and although Sulfur felt that she was chattering, it seemed to fit the definition that Tifa said. Sulfona's mind turned: Could it be that Tifa worshipped Qili as a teacher?

"That'...... And where is she?"

"It's No.1. ”

Tifa said indifferently, but Sulfona, who had known Tifa for a long time, could still see that Tifa was now very proud. That's right, if someone like Tifa worships a warrior as a teacher, if it weren't for No.1, he might not be able to get into her eyes. Sulfona's thoughts seemed to be all exposed to Tifa's eyes, and Tifa hurriedly explained.

"Although the strength of the single-digit fighters is obviously stronger than the other fighters, they themselves can't tell who is stronger and who is weaker among them. It is difficult to say who is stronger and who is weak between the current NO.1, NO.2, and NO.3. No.2's strength has always been a mystery, but she has killed the most demons. Therefore, the organization generally calls her the Demon Slashing Sword, which shows that she has been sparing no effort to fight against demons. It's a proof and a danger. ”

"Dangerous?"

"That's right. She was always outside her uniform, wearing the same bright red robe, and carrying a large sword - her signature 'Demon Slaying Sword'. Tifa said, "That way, whoever you are, you'll be able to recognize her as the Demon Slayer." It doesn't matter if it's a human or a demon. When she walks through the crowd, not only will humans avoid her in fear, but even demons will suddenly attack her. She has too much demon blood on her hands, and it is natural for her to be hated by demons. Therefore, the reputation of the 'Demon Slaying Sword' has made her face all kinds of dangers all the time, and some demons dare not fight her personally, but will poison her, and even buy ordinary humans to attack her......"

"It's so terrible!" Sulfona's eyes widened, "Then isn't she unable to eat and sleep well?"

"That's it, but that's the consciousness of the Demon Slayer. Tifa said.

Then why didn't she take that robe off? or change it to a robe of a different color. Sulfona asked, confused, "So the demons won't find her." ”

"Then why do you think she's wearing the same robe?" asked Tifa suddenly.

"Because that's proof of the 'Demon Slayer'?" said Sulfur after a moment's thought, "but she shouldn't seem to be such a fame and fortune person......

Tifa smiled slightly, then sighed, revealing a somewhat complicated expression.

"Although others may not know, my teacher told me about the Demon Slashing Sword. She said that although the Demon Slayer Sword was powerful, her demonic perception was weak - which meant that it was difficult for her to spot demons that had taken on human form. "You should understand that when a demon takes on a human form, even a great sword needs to be approached to find it. The Demon Slayer Sword is more difficult to distinguish between demons and humans than ordinary large swords. So she chooses to expose herself and let the demons attack her. That's why she's been able to kill so many demons......"
