Chapter Twenty-Six: Where Is the Pillar Simple?

"Whew-"

"Dangdang, dang, dang!"

"The train is moving! Please sit down. ”

Before he could reach for his hand, a thrust and a loud noise appeared almost simultaneously, causing him to crash backwards, his back pressed against the backrest.

On the other hand, Butterfly Chanae seems to be used to going out by train, and there is still a smile on her calm and stable face.

"What's wrong? Is it the first time for a child to go out on a train? ”

Ichiro nodded, feeling a little dizzy as he looked at the scenery outside the window that was passing faster and faster in less than a few seconds.

I've long heard that this so-called train can travel thousands of miles in a day, but I didn't think that it was so much more comfortable than riding a horse, just sitting in it.

It's a little noisy though.

However, compared to speed, this is not a disadvantage at all, as long as you get used to the rhythm of the long and long, you will be much more comfortable immediately.

It's the same as striking iron in Ashina.

"By the way, I just heard you say that your name is Ei Na Kuichiro?"

"Ichiro String. It's a nice name, and it has a samurai flavor in it. ”

Butterfly Chanae didn't seem to care about Genichiro's cold and hard face, and took care of herself to find a topic.

"But is this reed name the reed name of the 'reed chicken' mentioned in the newspaper before?"

"Yes."

Koichiro is very satisfied with the current situation.

Nowadays, when people hear the name of the reed, it is no longer the expression of "I don't know what I haven't heard of" before.

This is enough to show that the scene they created in the zoo before is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At least when people hear these two words now, their eyes are filled with curiosity rather than disdain and disinterest.

"I've never heard of this place before, but it's amazing to think about."

Chana Hui obviously looked gentle, but her upper body suddenly leaned forward, and a pair of innocent eyes seemed to see Ichiro's heart in an instant.

"Not only are there big roosters that can beat polar bears, but there are also elementary school students who can easily hurt adults with coins."

She was completely amused and amazed, but Ichiro suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

He was going to explain.

"They didn't take my place first......"

"No, it's not."

Ichiro was only halfway through his sentence before he was gently interrupted by Chana, "As I said before, I'm a doctor, and I think I'm doing a good job." For the sake of my work, I enjoy observing the people around me. ”

"When you got in the car, you were facing me, and I could see it clearly."

"When you found out that the position was occupied, you were going to change the position until you ......"

Chanae lifted the long knife wrapped in cloth from the window, "Until you found this thing, you came over with a very purposeful purpose." ”

"And then he slashed the man's neck."

[Found, discovered! 】

Although Genichiro knew that women were careful, he didn't expect that the pillar of this ghost killing team could observe so carefully while telling jokes to others!

Sure enough, this organization, I'm afraid not everyone is as ordinary as Murata.

"Although it is the first time that I have been approached by the opposite sex because of my carry-on luggage rather than my appearance."

"But kid," Chanae squinted, "can you tell me why?" When ordinary people see a samurai sword, shouldn't they stay away? Why did you take the initiative to come up? ”

Although Ichiro showed some horses, he didn't panic.

Now is not the time to expose the purpose.

"I've just recently started practicing swords." Ichiro replied, "I'm interested in looking at the similar shapes." ”

"And I'm not bad at observing, you don't look like a bad person."

"Is it~? I feel so happy to be so trusted. ”

Butterfly Chanae stared at Genichiro for a while, and suddenly said, "Please show me your hand." ”

Ichiro had 10,000 reasons not to stretch out his hand, but the strange affinity of the other party still made him stretch out his right hand.

"It's strange, it's true that the hand that only recently took the sword is right."

Chana's fingertips touched the skin at the base of the fingers of Ichiro's palm, "But novices make a lot of mistakes, so the skin here, here, and here is usually worn out, and you don't." ”

"It's like a veteran who has just started to touch swords."

She nodded a few places, and Ichiro nodded silently.

When he first started to practice his sword, it was true that those places were the most prone to injury.

"It seems that you have a very powerful swordsmanship teacher, no wonder the police will call you young master."

Chanae returned her hand to Ichiro, "But, as a doctor who has treated many patients, why do I always think that you are hiding something?" ”

"But everyone has their own secrets, so I won't take the liberty of pursuing them."

The heart that Genichiro had just lifted was instantly put down again.

If Chanae continues to ask, he may only be able to tell the truth, but with the temperament of the ghost killing team, I am afraid that he will never take an unrelated person to find the ghost.

Not to mention being a child.

Now that I've given up, that's fine.

"Look at your relieved look, it's so cute, very similar to my sister."

"Sister?"

Xianichiro didn't expect that the members of the ghost killing team still have family members?

Doing a job that is more dangerous than the military generals of the Warring States, can you really reassure your family, or reassure your family?

"Yes, she's 14 years old, but she's a little skinny, and she looks about your age."

Butterfly Chanae said of her sister, a little happy, "However, she is more talented as a doctor than me, but her temper is a little stubborn." ”

"I've always wanted her to be a better doctor in peace, but she wants to do the same job as me. It's really distressing. ”

[So, are they actually still the medical staff of the ghost killing team? 】

"Miss Chana, are you going to visit your sister on the train?"

Ichiro didn't plan to continue the greetings, he had to know Chane's destination quickly.

"No, my sister lives with me. I went out this time to find out about some of my friends. β€œ

Speaking of friends, the worry in Butterfly Chane's eyes flashed away.

"What about you? What is a person going to do with such a small thing? ”

"I'm going to Kumamoto Prefecture." Ichiro said, "Soak in the hot springs." ”

"That's a coincidence."

Kanae laughed again, "Looks like we're going to get off in Kumamoto together, Ichiro String." ”

"But if you want to go to the hot springs, there are dozens of hot spring villages in Kumamoto, which one are you going to?"

[That's exactly what I'm going to ask you!] 】

Ichiro thought to himself.

"It's my first time going, and I wanted to hear what the locals think, but since Miss Chanae asked, I don't know if you have any recommendations?"

He shoved the question back in.

"Hmm...... As for the hot springs, I'm familiar with Oita Prefecture. ”

After all, Oita Prefecture is where the Demon Slayer team's trial is located.

"But Kumamoto, I don't know where you should go, but I know a little bit about where you shouldn't go."

[The place she didn't let me go to should be the village with ghosts......]

Ichiro thought so.

As she spoke, Butterfly Chanae took out a newspaper from the seat next to her.

Navigate to the page of the ad.

"Look, there's a place called Izumino Village."

"It is said that in order to attract guests, there is some kind of open-air mixed bathing gimmick."

"A child like you is never allowed to go to that kind of hot spring village."

Before she could finish speaking, Butterfly Chanae covered her mouth and laughed, clearly pleased with her joke.

Ichiro: "......"

"What's wrong? I looked disappointed, I thought you would be shy. ”

"I'm past that age. 】

Ichiro didn't want to talk to Butterfly Chanae anymore, and took out a food box from the salute to himself.

I plan to rely on Jiurou's snacks to soothe my pimples.

But he forgot one thing, that is, even for internal dining, it was still used to pour glowing rice from the gourd.

And the moment he opened the food box, the train happened to enter a cave.

As a result, his dazzling dim sum here immediately became the biggest light source in the car!

"Hey, what's that?"

"Fireflies? But fireflies don't have red colors! ”

"What fireflies, that's Yoshiwara's most famous glowing confectionery!"

Perhaps because of the darkness, the passengers screamed.

So when the train was filled with sunlight again, Koichiro's expression was a little embarrassed.

He forgot about it, and made himself look like the animals in the zoo.

"Ah, what a great snack."

Chanae seemed to see his embarrassment and asked with a grin, "Can I take one and see it?" ”

"It's okay if you want to eat."

Ichiro quickly opened the food box, put two pink ones on the lid and handed them over.

The latter was not polite, and immediately picked it up and sniffed it under his nose.

"Well, this tastes like ordinary rice......

Chanae is an expert in medicinal herbs, and she can see the doorway of five-colored rice at a glance.

"But why does it change color and glow?"

Ichiro knew that the time had come to earn prestige.

"This shining rice is the same as the reeded chicken, and it is a specialty of the reed. Among them, this rice is watered by water from the source, and then blessed by the god son of Reed, it becomes like this. ”

"Oh? Son of God? ”

Chanae seemed to be interested, gently broke the snack, stuffed a small piece into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

"Hmm...... It's sweeter than the usual rice, but the overall taste of the dim sum is very authentic. ”

The second half of the sentence, with her character, naturally will not be said.

That is in other aspects, and it seems to be no different from ordinary rice.

"This red-flavored one here should be Hagi mochi."

"It's a bit presumptuous to say that for the first time, though."

Butterfly Chanae said apologetically, "But can I keep this snack and bring it to a friend?" ”

"He likes to eat Hagi mochi the most, and if it is this kind of Hagi mochi that tastes so good and shines, I am afraid that even if he encounters any difficult situation, it can cheer him up."

[She said that she should be one of the missing team members this time......]

"Of course, if you don't mind, I'll put it in this food box in a while, and I'll keep these Hagi cakes for him."

Although this taste, Genichiro also likes it.

"That's so thankful."

Chanae folded her palms sincerely, "Little friend, you are really a gentle person, not as cold as it seems on the surface." ”

"Gentle?"

"Isn't it gentle to be able to give such a precious snack to a stranger who has never met before?"

Ichiro choked for a moment, he was just trying to open up the topic.

He avoided talking about gentle things, and instead asked about this friend of Butterfly Chana.

"Listening to Miss Chana, it seems that this friend of yours is in some difficulty? Is he your goal in Kumamoto this time? ”

Butterfly Chanae thought of the scarred face, and the worried look in her eyebrows finally came to her heart.

"Yes, some people think that they are more capable, so they can run around without listening to the doctor's advice, making many people worry about him in vain."

[Let her care so much, is it another pillar? ] 】

[Could it be that this time it was actually the Twelve Ghost Moons that we were dealing with? ]

"Sounds like a great guy."

Ichiro said.

"He is very powerful, although he looks rude and irritable on the surface, but he is very gentle at heart, the kind of person who will not hesitate to hurt himself in order to save others. But it is precisely because of this that it is even more reassuring. ”

Speaking of which, Chanae put so much effort on her hands that even the snacks were a little deformed.

She immediately reacted to her gaffe and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry for saying something that bothered you." ”

"It's okay." Ichiro squeezed out a smile.

[As a result, I still haven't asked which village has the problem!] 】

"Miss Chana, when you go to Kumamoto, you are going to find this person."

"Ahh Chanae nodded, "But it's not just him, there are some other friends who all need my help." ”

"Is it in the city? It's a big place, and it's a hassle to find someone, so maybe I can help. ”

Butterfly Chanae suddenly quieted down, with a pair of clear and bright big eyes, carefully looking at Ichiro Koshi.

[Will it be a little too aggressive, and the problem is discovered......]

"Although it's not good to say this, but compared to other young masters from rich families, Ichiro Kid, you are really very kind."

Butterfly Chanae's tone was like that of a gentle elder, "However, they should be in the villages around Kumamoto, and I can find them myself, so I don't need to bother you." ”

[Sure enough, the code of conduct of the ghost killing team still doesn't want to involve those ordinary people. 】

"Alright then, I hope you and your friends are doing well."

Ichiro suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head, and his voice changed, "But since it's a surrounding village, maybe we'll just meet in one village at that time!" ”

At this moment, Butterfly Chane's face finally became serious.

That's right.

Isn't Genichiro just looking for a hot spring village?

If you happen to find the house where the team member had an accident, you are very likely to be in danger.

Not to mention, he's still alone.

So, after hesitation, Butterfly Chanae still gave a "travel advice".

"Well, I remember, a friend of mine told me before."

She doesn't lie very often, so her face is a little unnatural, "I've heard that there have been a lot of incidents of wild animals attacking tourists in Shinsenjo Village, which is the hottest village in Kumamoto. ”

"In the past two years, twenty or thirty people have gone missing intermittently, all of them are missing, and even their bodies have not been recovered."

"If the Ichiro kids are going to travel, it's not a good place."

[Finally! 】

【New Shangquan Village?】 ]

"I see. 】

[In this way, you can save a lot of time.] 】

However, Genichiro perfectly concealed the excitement in his heart, revealing a look of deep disapproval.

"I know, I won't go to Xinshangquan Village."

Butterfly Chanae smiled with satisfaction.
