Chapter Forty-Nine: The Grumpy Butterfly Ninja
"Cooperation?"
Butterfly Chanae didn't expect Ichiro's words to turn here, and she didn't react for a while to what it meant.
"Yes, cooperation."
Ichiro repeated.
"Although Ashina is a favorite place of the gods, there are many strange things. But the existence of such a thing as a ghost is really beyond our expectations. Although Miko's spell to hide the name of the reed is effective for people, it is difficult to say if you encounter a ghost with a variety of abilities. Even just in case, the oni have become a potential enemy of Ashina, and they must die. ”
The motivation given by Koichiro, while utilitarian, is realistic.
Eliminating potential threats is indeed in line with the mindset of an heir to a country.
Therefore, Butterfly Chanae did not doubt this statement.
"Therefore, on behalf of Ashina, I can provide some material and human assistance to the Ghost Slayer Squad."
"For example?"
Butterfly Chanae came to be interested.
Pulling sponsorship for the Ghost Slayer Team is one of the tasks of the pillar.
"For example, the special medicine of our reeded country."
Ichiro glanced at the Immortal River with all the pointing points he had.
"Immortal Chuan has already experienced the effects of that drug, which is enough to restore a dying person to the point of minor injury. With this medicine, the casualty rate of your ghost slayer team will be greatly reduced. ”
"He's right, after I took that pill, I could hear the sound of bones slowly growing."
Immortal Chuan nodded, "If you stay in the Butterfly House, if you are so seriously injured, I am afraid that you will have to raise it for three months, and you will have to kill many fewer ghosts." ”
As he spoke, he added as if he remembered something, "I didn't say what you mean by your medical skills, I just said that this medicine has a better effect." What is it after all...... Son of God or something, that's divine power, right? ”
Butterfly Chanae knows that Immortal River doesn't lie.
After hearing the specific effect of this medicine, her eyes trembled, and she was obviously moved.
As the doctor of the Ghost Slayer Team, she clearly knows that the members of the Ghost Slayer Team who die every month are in the double digits.
And even if the team members who are seriously injured by the ghost are taken to the butterfly house, most of them are large-scale wounds that cannot be healed.
If that medicine is really as useful as Immortal Chuan said, the natural gap in resilience between ghosts and humans will shrink dramatically. The safety of the team members is also guaranteed.
However, a medicine like this should be precious.
"You won't give us such a precious medicine for nothing, right?"
The purpose of this child is so strong, and Butterfly Chanae is also the only one in her life, and she knows that the other party must have a plan.
"Naturally, we have what we want."
Ichiro tapped his fingers on the table, "I hope I can learn the breathing method of the Demon Slayer Team, as well as the special materials for forging the Nichiren Knife." ”
Breathing aside.
But what kind of orangutan crimson iron used to forge the Nichilun knife, he had already sent Cave Mountain to find it.
Unsurprisingly, all the peaks near Tokyo that do not rain all year round show traces of mining. Apparently the ore there has been mined.
Presumably, all the orangutan crimson iron in Japan should be in the hands of the ghost slayer.
If the Ashina clan wants to have an advantage in front of the demons, a weapon that mixes this ore and diamond is essential.
Sure enough, after Genichiro put forward the condition, Butterfly Chane's expression immediately became embarrassed.
The reason why the Ghost Slayer's breathing method has never been passed on is because he is worried that it will be used by some careerists to deal with humans, which is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
After all, the iron cracking stone that ordinary swordsmen are proud of is nothing more than an ordinary skill in the eyes of the senior members of the Ghost Slayer Team.
Therefore, in the past era, the members of the Demon Slayer Team had to swear that they would never use breathing against humans.
And Ichiro's previous attempt to persecute the villagers with torture is still haunting in her heart.
As for the orangutan crimson iron, it is even more relied on by killing ghosts with one piece less than one piece.
Nowadays, the Demon Slayer itself is not allowed to import this metal from countries near the equator, which is extremely expensive, and it is almost empty of the family property of the house.
"It's okay, Miss Chana, you can't call the shots for such a big thing."
Ichiro waved his hand in understanding.
"Just as you're going to have a meeting, let's put this matter on the table and talk about it. I had already sent a letter to my brother through the crow, and when I got off the train, there would be a reed waiting near the station with medicine. When the time comes, you should also see the effect of the pill from a professional point of view. We will not be too late to discuss specific matters of cooperation. ”
"I will definitely bring your words to the lord."
Butterfly Chanae felt relieved, "But I still want to ask, Immortal Chuan said that your swordsmanship is far beyond ordinary people, why do you still want to learn the breathing method of the ghost killing team?" ”
"As I said before, the reeds are a favorite place of the gods, and most of the animals there are intelligent, and their bodies are much larger than anywhere else."
Ichiro said flatly.
"You have ghosts outside, and we have these strange animals to deal with inside. For example, in the valley of Ashina, there lives a huge white snake with eyes bigger than a human. It is clad in hard scale armor, and it can blow people away with its breath.
"For many years, the reeds had nothing to do but worship as a mountain god. As a result, as time passed, its body grew bigger and bigger, and its appetite became bigger and bigger, and it reached the point where it could not be eliminated. And the ancestors are old, it is inconvenient to do it, and others are not sure. ”
"So think about it, if you want to get rid of those monsters with manpower, I'm afraid that the breathing method used to deal with ghosts is really suitable."
"Besides, now that we are outside, we will inevitably encounter ghosts. It's always safer to know a little breathing. ”
Butterfly Chanae stared carefully at Genichiro's expression and didn't feel that he was lying.
Since there are ghosts in the world, it is not impossible that there is such a big white snake.
"If the eyes are the size of a person, how long does this snake have to be!"
Murata sighed, silently began to imagine the length of the white snake, and after a while, he frightened himself, and goosebumps crawled on his arms.
As a result, the three of them contributed another wave of prestige.
Next, a few people chatted for a while, and then they rested.
Butterfly Chanae spends half the night educating the police and the village chief about ghosts.
Minoru Kawa didn't think about her all night, and he didn't sleep well.
Murata was fed painkillers and closed his eyes after a while.
And Ichiro, on the other hand, is constantly reminiscing about the battle memory of the fourth string in his consciousness.
However, because his physical state is synchronized with his consciousness, he is also one-handed in his battle memory, so he can only be familiar with the opponent's attack moves.
If you want to win the battle, I'm afraid you have to put on a forbearance hand.
And just like that, the train stopped and stopped all the way. By the time we arrived in Tokyo, it was already completely dark.
Before Ichiro got out of the car, through the window, he saw Oribe Masayuki holding a long box outside, and Shinichi Sase on the side.
But before they could get in the car to greet them, a short figure suddenly rushed in from outside the car door, and immediately gave Huazhu a big hug.
"Sister!"
It was a petite and thin girl, dressed in a light haori similar to that of Butterfly Chane.
Although the two are similar in appearance, this girl has less tenderness in her eyes, and she seems more clever and alert.
If you guessed correctly, this is the sister of Butterfly Chanae who has been hanging on her lips, and Butterfly endured.
Because he wanted to plan a marriage for Kuro, Ichiro carefully observed the other party.
But maybe she had just been on a mission, and there was a lot of blood on her body, not to mention, there was also a bright paper figure flying out of her body and burrowing into Genichiro's heart.
[It should be a ghost, just died.] 】
He judged.
Butterfly Chanae touched her sister's forehead dotingly, "I thought you were on a mission tonight, and you couldn't come at all." ”
"Just a little ghost, I'll take him out in a few clicks."
Butterfly Shinobu buried her head in her sister's chest, "Nothing can stop me from coming to take you home." ”
"Now that you've seen me, let's get out of the car, we still have something to do."
Butterfly Chanae said softly, "Early tomorrow morning, I will take Mr. Immortal River to the lord's place. ”
"Immortal River?"
The moment Shinobu heard the name, the expression on her face immediately became complicated, as if a student heard the sound of scraping a blackboard with his fingernails.
"Is it the big idiot who never listens to the doctor's orders and always makes the Butterfly Dance nurses distressed?"
"Hey, who's the idiot you're talking about, little ghost!"
Where can a certain hedgehog head withstand this kind of stimulation, and directly poked out a terrifying scar face and said loudly viciously.
However, although the butterfly shinobi was small, it was like a string of firecrackers stuffed with gunpowder, and immediately replied: "Am I not right? The time you went to kill a ghost, it wasn't because you lost too much blood and were rescued. Then he forcibly ran out before the injury was healed, and then came back with more serious injuries. Do you know how worried my sister is that you will not be able to do it every time. I'm telling you, we hate patients like you who don't listen to your doctor's advice! ”
"Shinobi!"
Butterfly Chanae frowned and interrupted, "Immortal Chuan killed the fourth of the lower strings this time, and he will be a pillar soon, so you can't say that about him in the future." ”
In order to give the members a sense of belonging and self-identity, the Ghost Slayer Team follows the ancient path of the lord and the samurai, so they have a strong sense of dignity and inferiority.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Butterfly Shinobu immediately quieted down.
“……”
Butterfly Shinobu looked at Immortal River in disbelief, revealing an expression of both envy and jealousy, and then immediately became silent again, as if thinking of something troublesome.
Immortal Chuan obviously didn't expect that the position of the pillar, which he had always looked down on, would still have this kind of function.
Butterfly Chanae shook her head helplessly, and continued to introduce her: "Mr. Murata, you should know, he is a frequent visitor to the butterfly house, but this time it is only a dislocation of the tibia, fortunately, it is not a big problem." ”
Murata embarrassedly said hello to Butterfly Shinobi.
Murata who never died in the catastrophe, and the nurses in the butterfly house all called him that.
The moment Butterfly Shinobu saw him, he felt that the death of ten team members this time seemed to be expected. It wasn't until Murata saw that her scalp was numb that she looked away.
Then, her eyes focused on Ichiro, who was a few centimeters shorter than her.
The latter also wears the uniform of the Demon Slayer.
"I remember the Ghost Slayer Team, there shouldn't be such a small team member, right?"
However, when she saw Genichiro's left hand, she immediately covered her mouth, and her eyes showed an expression similar to that of Butterfly Chana.
"Did the ghost do it?" She asked in a whisper, and in addition to pity, there was a kind of anger that Chanae didn't have.
With just this look, Genichiro could guess that her attitude towards ghosts might be a little closer to the immortal river.
[Although the temper is a little short-tempered, but it's really a sister, and the nature is very close.] 】
[No wonder in the mother-in-law's prophecy, it was said that she would die to avenge her sister. 】
Ichiro nodded at her, even if he had answered the question, he should have said hello.
"This is Eichi Kanichiro. It was he who teamed up with Mr. Immortal Chuan to kill the fourth of the lower strings, but he was not a member of the Demon Slayer team. ”
Butterfly Chanae introduced, "Don't look at his young age, but according to Mr. Immortal Chuan, his strength is only stronger than that of C-level players, so you can't underestimate him." ”
"How is this possible?"
Butterfly Shinobu exclaimed.
C-level player, she is a C-level player!
"What's impossible?"
Immortal Chuan finally found an opportunity to fight back, "He's very strong, don't bully others just because you're old." ”
With that, he stepped out of the car satisfied, and Butterfly Shinobu looked at Genichiro's eyes becoming more and more complicated.
That look at Ichiro knew him.
It was the expression that he couldn't learn to slash with one word back then, but found that Yongzhen could use.
[Sure enough, the matter of finding a marriage partner for Jiulang, let's put it off for a while. 】
"Shinobi, you can help me get Mr. Murata out of the car first."
"Okay." She then took her eyes off Genichiro's face and thoughtfully helped Murata out the door.
After the two got out of the car, Butterfly Chanae suddenly turned around: "Little brother Ichiro, can I ask you for something?" ”
She held Koichiro's right hand, not very strong, but the emotions that came from it were very nervous.
"The prophecy that the old woman said, please don't tell Xiao Ren."
"Don't worry."
Ichiro stiffly assured.
"Still, have you figured out what to do? Do you want to explain it to the other columns at the meeting? After all, as long as you send a few more pillars to your side, won't you have peace of mind? ”
"If they had gathered together for me, but the demons had not appeared, the other civilians who should have been saved by the pillar would have died because of me."
Butterfly Chanae shook her head.
After all, the old lady said that it was after the New Year, but the winter after the New Year was still very long, and it was simply unrealistic to let Zhu stay with her.
"If that's the case, I'd rather they didn't come to my rescue."
Ichiro didn't know what to say.
This is really self-sacrificing, the reincarnation of a bodhisattva.
He was a little angry.
"Then at least let the Immortal River Gang help you."
Ichiro pinched his eyebrows, unconsciously turned on his spiritual vision, and suddenly said with all his feelings: "Do you plan to play missing in the New Year in order not to affect him?" ”
Butterfly Chanae was silent.
"You have to believe your mother-in-law."
Ichiro said a little anxiously, "Since she said that the two of you can drive away the ghost together, then it must be possible." Mother-in-law has never made a mistake, so don't do anything stupid. ”
Butterfly Chanae stared at him for a moment, and suddenly showed a good-looking smile.
"Sure enough, Genichiro, you're also a gentle person."
