Chapter 14: The Butterfly House and the Butterfly Maiden
In the endless darkness, several figures vaguely appeared.
"Hahaha, look, there are still samurai using swords!"
"Bushido is just something that should be eliminated by the times, and there are still people who insist on it?!"
"Well, since you firmly believe in bushido, let's use your sword to try to block the bullets of the musket."
Surrounded by figures, a man curled up and said loudly:
"I am sure that our swords will not be lost to those traitors who throw themselves at the muskets!"
……
It is a wooden house.
The bright sunlight shone through the crystal clear glass and refracted onto Senjuro's closed eyelids.
The beautiful birdsong gradually awakened his sleeping consciousness.
"This is, where?"
Rubbing his brain, which was still a little drowsy, Chijurou propped himself up from the wooden bed, looked at the simple and neat decoration in the room, and fell into doubt.
By the way, am I not fighting a dark shadow werewolf?
How did it end up here?
What does a figure in memory mean? Bushido, muskets?
At this time, Senjuro's brain gradually cleared up, and his memory returned.
I remember that in the end I should have won.
Defeated the demon who was called the "second of the second string" by the system.
Worst!
Suddenly, he exclaimed.
Career Quests!
If you leave the range of Fuji Attack Mountain within 3 days, you will be punished extremely severely.
Thinking of this, Senjuro quickly opened the system interface.
"Congratulations, hunting" Second String No. 2 "Wolf (Weak) ......"
"Achievement: [Pillar's Reserve]"
"[Pillar's Reserve]: The condition for becoming a 'Pillar' is to hunt 50 ghosts, or kill one of the 12 Oni Moons. You managed to slash a weakened Twelve Ghost Moon under the sword, such a deed is a miracle for you, who are not even a member of the Demon Slayer team. This means that under the 'pillar', you are the strongest swordsman! ”
"Congratulations, you have received the achievement reward: Trait - [Ghost Hunter]!"
"[Ghost Hunter] (cannot be upgraded): The damage you deal to the ghost will gradually increase and will be difficult to heal."
"Trait [Ghost Hunter] activates ......"
"Soul energy absorption...... Congratulations, you've received the following buffs: Strength +3, Stamina +3, Agility +3! ”
"Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the Hidden Element of the Class Quest (Ring 3, Final Ring) - Kill the Twelve Ghost Moons and complete the quest ahead of schedule! Get Rewards (Double): Level +4, Skill [Hunting Marker]! ”
"Congratulations, you've leveled up, the current level is lv.9, all attributes +2!"
"Current attributes: Strength 19.5, Stamina 19.5, Agility 19.5, Spirit 14.5."
"[Hunting Marker] (Mastery): To be a qualified ghost hunter, you must not only have superb hunting skills, but also have superb tracking skills. Effect: Marks a prey and keeps track of its position. Maximum duration of marking: 3 days. ”
"Congratulations, you have successfully completed the Class Quest Trials and become a qualified Ghost Hunter! But be aware that in the unknown corners of the world, there is still a great deal of evil. You are a ghost hunter for the first time, and you still need to continue to get stronger......"
……
A series of system prompts dazzled Chijuro.
It took a while before it gradually smoothed out.
Repeatedly sure that he had completed his final professional assignment and would not be punished, he exhaled softly.
Although the gains in this battle were great, the danger of the process was also indescribable.
In the battle with the wolf, if it weren't for the extreme weakness of the wisteria flower poison in the end, he would have been slaughtered by his physical strength after all!
Even now, with a great increase in all aspects of his attributes, he still has no absolute certainty that he can defeat the wolf in the state of Blood Demon Magic, Worm Cavity, and War Scourge Array Wolf.
That kind of overwhelming power is not something that mortal bodies can easily oppose.
That strange shadow, a strange force like destroying the city......
I'm still too weak!
Senjuro sighed, then moved his arm a few times, put on the clogs prepared by someone next to the bed, and pushed the door open.
The soft sunlight caught his eye the moment he opened the door, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Qianjulang-kun, your physical strength is seriously overdrawn, and you still need to recuperate in bed, and you can't run around~"
A soft voice came from not far away.
For the first time, the appearance of a gentle big sister came to Chijuro's mind.
Once his eyes had adjusted to the light, he turned his head to look at where the sound was coming from.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, under the green trees, a young girl stood quietly.
The black hair with a slight purple tip reaches the collarbone, and a mint butterfly hairpin with a deep purple edge curls this beautiful black hair into a nocturnal hairstyle.
She was wearing an ordinary black Ghost Slayer uniform on the inside, and a butterfly wing pattern on the outside, and her face was as warm as nephrite with a smile, giving people a gentle and gentle feeling.
This is a butterfly fairy who has fallen to the earth.
Senjuro thought so in his heart.
"Where is this, may I ask you?"
"Ahh As for me, I'm the owner of this butterfly house, Butterfly Ninja~"
The girl smiled, and Chijuro's figure was reflected in her lilac pupils.
"Senjuro-kun, how is your body feeling?"
"Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Butterfly, I feel very healthy and don't need bed rest anymore."
Chijurou walked into the courtyard and thanked the girl slightly.
"That's it~ Okay, but if you have something uncomfortable, please bring it up in time~"
"By the way, Mr. Purgatory will come to see you later."
Hearing this, Senjuro thanked him again: "Okay, thank you." ”
"By the way, Miss Butterfly, did you see my knife? A red knife. ”
To Chijuro's question, Butterfly Shinobu smiled:
"Hmm~ Yes, but it's in your brother's possession now."
At this moment, there was a loud call from ahead.
"Senjuro, you're awake! That's great! ”
As soon as the loud voice fell, a man dressed in flaming feathers walked in.
Seeing Qianjulang with a good complexion in the courtyard, Purgatory Xingjurou showed joy on his face, and directly stepped forward and hugged him.
"Great!"
Facing his brother's embrace, Senjuro was also happy, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
Now it seems that his comatose self should have been rescued by his brother who rushed to the mountain after hearing the sound.
With the traces left by the destruction of the remaining flame breath around him at that time, plus the Rilun knife he was holding in his hand at that time, as long as he was not stupid, he knew that he killed the wolf.
But in this way, his strength is completely exposed.
Thinking of this, Senjuro had a headache.
How should I explain my strength, which is completely different from my usual performance, to be reasonable?
