The distance from Yoshiwara to Butterfly House is not far away, but it is not close.

With the speed of the car in this era, as well as the less-than-ideal traffic rules and road conditions in Tokyo, Mr. Driver conservatively estimated that it would take at least an hour and a half to reach Takinogawa Village, where Butterfly House is located.

To be honest, at this distance, if Genichiro and Shinobu Butterfly were to travel at full strength, it would only take half an hour to reach it.

But considering that there were a lot of things that happened last night, everyone didn't rest well, and because Kuro and Yongzhen were both "ordinary people", Butterfly Shinobu didn't propose to get out of the car and go on foot.

In this way, the people in the car went about their own business.

Eijin is in the front row to make up for modern Japanese, in short, reading a book.

Butterfly Shinobu was facing the rising sun, reading the notes of the sick leaf with a fascinated expression, looking excited, as if he had found some important treasure, and he was reading a book.

Kuro, who was reading a booklet full of English words and more than two centimeters thick, ...... Still reading a book.

Therefore, there was only one person present, sitting by the car window, looking bored and illiterate.

In fact, in the first five minutes of getting into the car, he had already succeeded in using the newly acquired secret technique to call friends to solve the drowning hime in the "Memories of the Battle with the Fourth String of the Lower Strings: Drowning Hime", and received a reward.

Therefore, he now has a total of 3 skill points that are useless, and his attack power level has also reached level 2.

The so-called attack power level is that every time you upgrade by one level, the damage caused by all of Ichiro's attacks will increase by 10%, and the second level is 20%.

In this way, he is a little stronger than last night.

However, it was precisely because he used the secret technique twice in a row in a few hours that he finally regained a little concentration and was overdrawn. However, Koichiro has not yet realized the hidden dangers of doing so.

At this moment, Genichiro is like a junior high school student who stayed up late to do 8 math papers, his concentration was very sluggish, and he couldn't concentrate on doing anything at all.

His wandering gaze kept wandering back and forth on the page in the hands of the three of them, and there was no longer the usual deep sense of déjà vu as if he was planning some conspiracy.

[Talk to me!] Talk to me! 】

Listening to the sound of the paper flipping, Ichiro's mood became more and more manic, and he felt as if his brain was wrapped in a membrane, but inside it was a hot mass (caused by overload), and some voices sounded that he didn't think belonged to him.

It was a very familiar feeling, as if he was just a little bit close to losing his self-control and becoming a red ghost who failed in his experiment.

What made him even more concerned was that at the junction of his left hand of forbearance, there was a sudden unusually hot sensation, as if someone was using a match to bake the skin of his elbow at a distance of one or two centimeters.

What's going on? 】

[Is the fire of resentment ignited?] 】

[But I didn't kill anyone! 】

With an ugly face, he pressed his right hand on the sleeve of his left hand, but he could only feel the normal coldness of a dead thing.

[Is it a delusion?] 】

Ichiro didn't understand what was going on, and he couldn't concentrate on it, but his mind inevitably became more and more nervous.

In the end, Jiulang, who was still closest to him, felt his breathing getting heavier and heavier, and then looked up at his brother, who had a somewhat unfamiliar expression.

"Brother Genichiro, are you feeling unwell?"

Kuro asked with concern, but there was more curiosity in his tone.

In his opinion, Genichiro's face was far less serious than usual at this time.

Usually his eyebrows, which are tightly pressed against the upper edge of his eyes, are unusually raised high, and they are a little too lively.

The abyss-like dark pupils of the past looked big and bright in the sunrise sun, like a kitten who was spoiling its owner, the skin on the cheekbones was also with a healthy flush, and the chin was not the slightest bit tight and stiff.

On any child, this is a normal expression, and there is even some cuteness.

But if you take Genichiro's usual expression as a reference standard, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is grimacing.

[Finally! Finally talking to me! 】

[I almost wanted to open the door and jump out of the car.] 】

Ichiro didn't know that he was already showing symptoms of a child with ADHD when he had exhausted his concentration.

Seeing that Butterfly Shinobu also drew attention from the sick leaf and looked at him with a surprised face, Koichiro forcibly adjusted his breathing, intending to use external stimulation to alleviate his abnormal state.

But if he only suppresses it on his own, I'm afraid it won't be long before his left hand really ignites a flame.

"Hmmm......"

He looked at the English book in Jiurou's hand, and asked in a rather lively tone, "Jiurou, are you ...... now?" What kind of books are you reading? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Jiulang, who was the party concerned, was stunned, but even Yongzhen in the front seat slowly turned his head, and his light brown eyes stared at Xianichiro's face, revealing a thick suspicion.

"Brother Genichiro (my lord), are you talking to me (Kuro)?"

The two discovered the anomaly almost at the same time.

Brother Genichiro (adult) right now, he really talks like a child.

Not only the tone, but also the expression is very similar. It was as if the real owner of the body was talking ——- a nine-year-old child on his own.

"Well, this is what Miss Shinobu sold to me at Yoshiwara's bookstore last night when I was shopping."

After a brief silence, Kuro chose to answer the question. Although Brother Genichiro is very wrong today, it makes people feel very relaxed, "It's a collection of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories." This person should be Miss Shinobi's favorite author. ”

"Yoshiwara's bookstore?"

It's not like he hasn't visited Yoshiwara's bookstore, and he knows exactly what kind of books will be sold there, so he asked in a strange tone, "What kind of serious books can Yoshiwara's bookstore sell?" You're probably not looking at something you shouldn't be looking at at your age. ”

[How could I say such a thing?] 】

Ichiro began to roar in his heart, but his hands suddenly snatched the pamphlet from Kuro's hand uncontrollably, and flipped through it with a bang, and there were indeed some simple illustrations that were not very pleasant.

But the overall color is darker than yellow.

Ichiro handed the book back with some disappointment.

Jiurou looked at the book that was returned, hesitated for a long time, and then reached out and pinched the back of the book, and gently took the book back from Ichiro's hand, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.

"Just now, Brother Genichiro, were you kidding?"

Ei Na Kuichiro, the daimyo of Ashina Province, was called the evil tiger of the cold face in the inner government during the Warring States Period, has no sense of humor, never jokes, and is known for being serious, gloomy, cruel, resolute, and self-serving.

What I saw in front of me was so abnormal.

In the end, Yongzhen found some clues.

"Rosama, do you feel a little uncomfortable in your left arm?"

Her expression was very serious.

The last time Kurou saw her like this was when Eijin came back from the secret passage of the castle tower and talked about the disappearance of the Buddhist carver.

It was only after his resurrection that he learned that the flame monster that was wreaking havoc near Otemon was actually the missing Buddha carver.

Thinking of this, he also became nervous with Yongzhen, holding his breath and waiting for Genichiro's answer.

"It feels a little hot."

Koichiro nodded, "But it seems to be just an illusion." ”

On the other side, the unknown butterfly ninja heard this, and immediately leaned out of his upper body and crossed over Kuro, directly lifted the sleeve of Ichiro's left hand, and began to check the situation at the interface.

"Could it be that my sister and I had an accident during the operation?"

Thanks to the butterfly ninja, Yongzhen finally saw the familiar gray-white ninja hand, and saw that there was no familiar dim flame on it, so he was a little relieved.

Having been in contact with two generations of ninja masters, she simply knows the steps of igniting the fire of Shura and the fire of resentment.

Before the mutation, the Buddha carver and the wolf had both experienced this burning sensation similar to phantom pain, and both of them had lost a considerable degree of self-control, allowing their long-suppressed desires to surface.

For Buddhist carvers, it is a sudden addiction to alcohol and longing for the company of others.

For the wolf, it's a frantic rush for power.

But as long as the flame doesn't really burn, there's still room for everything to turn around.

"Miss Shinobu, please lend me your pen."

"Okay."

Although she didn't know what Miss Yongzhen was going to do, Butterfly Shinobu agreed to the request of this woman with a similar temperament to her sister without hesitation.

I saw Yongzhen take the pen that originally belonged to the sick leaf, tore off the blank page in front of the back cover of the book in his hand, and wrote a ...... Ghost Drawing.

After glancing at it, Genichiro knew that this was the same thing as those "Victory Charms" outside the ruined Buddhist temple, a special magic weapon used to drive away evil spirits and suppress desolate souls.

It's just that I didn't expect that Yongzhen would even do this. It seems that what she inherited from Dao Xuan is far more than just medical skills.

Then, under the bewildered eyes of Butterfly Shinobi, Eijin took off the strip of cloth that was wrapped around his hair and handed her everything with the paper.

"Miss Shinobi, please use this strip of cloth to tie this talisman to the left hand of Lord Shinichiro." Yongzhen's long hair fell behind his shoulders, and his expression was extremely serious.

Even though he had seen a lot of the mysteries of Ashina, Butterfly Shinobi, who was a doctor, was still instinctively a little suspicious after taking the things, "Miss Eijin, this is ...... Does this really work? ”

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the prosthesis be removed to see if there is any inflammation at the interface?

Isn't it a bit too ...... to stick a talisman or something? Too superstitious?

"Miss Shinobu, Brother Shinichiro's problem has nothing to do with surgery."

In the end, it was Jiurou who dispelled Butterfly Shinobi's doubts, "The Shinobi hand was originally made by Miss Yongzhen's teacher, and now no one knows her brother's situation better than her." ”

"Is that so?"

The teacher was able to create such a miraculous prosthetic leg, and Butterfly Shinobu immediately trusted Eijin a lot, and immediately tied the simple talisman to it, and then looked at Genichiro, hoping to get some feedback from him.

"Ichiro, how are you feeling now?"

"It's not as hot as it was just now, but I still feel that my brain is a little different from usual."

To tell you the truth, although the burning sensation in his left elbow has become much smaller, he still feels like a mess in his brain, and he can't concentrate at all.

"Lady Genichiro, your current situation is that your physical strength is too vigorous, but your spirit is seriously depleted. It's like a weak groom who can't control a horse in a violent mood, so you can't control your behavior. ”

Yongzhen slowly stated his diagnosis, "Once your spirit is too weak, you can't suppress your innermost thoughts and desires as usual. ”

"So," Koichiro raised his eyebrows a little distressedly, "what should I do to recover as soon as possible?" If a similar situation arises in the future......"

[It must be because of the lack of concentration!] 】

After listening to Yongzhen's explanation, Genichiro immediately understood the reason for this change in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the concentration force was still shouldering the heavy responsibility of suppressing the fire of resentment in the hands of forbearance.

In this way, every time he uses the arcane technique to consume concentration, there is a risk of a sudden explosion! Even if he didn't use secret arts, as he absorbed too many paper figures, there would be such a day sooner or later.

It's too dangerous for the people around him.

Especially for someone like Yongzhen who has already been resurrected once, even if he gets the Black Immortal Slash, he can't summon her back from the Yellow Spring.

Therefore, we must find a way to solve this hidden danger.

[Do you want to tear down the hand of forbearance, take the devouring god and let the arm grow? ] 】

But Ichiro also clearly understands that this hidden danger cannot be solved by dismantling the hand of forbearance. Because if there is no forbearance, those paper figures turned into the desolate souls of the dead will reside in his heart as before.

But in that case, it is tantamount to reducing the capacity of the paper figure that can be accommodated, and it is easier to explode.

[Damn, it seems that yesterday I shouldn't have absorbed all the paper figures near Jingxian Temple in one go......]

Now, there are as many as 400 paper figures in his body, which is equivalent to 400 dead people attached to him, and it is no wonder that when the spirit is too consumed, the shinobi hand has this reaction.

Suddenly, Koichiro didn't know what to do.

"Actually, Ichiro-sama, you don't have to worry too much."

At this time, Yongzhen's voice suddenly sounded.

"What do you mean?"

Ichiro was a little puzzled. The Yongzhen in front of him is the ruthless killing of Yongzhen by the wolf in the ending of Shura, wouldn't he be unaware of the harm of the flame eruption in the hands of Renyi?

"With the help of this opportunity, Ichiro-sama also saw the longing that he had been suppressing, didn't he?"

Yongzhen smiled slightly, after all, she didn't expect that Ichiro was hiding in her heart, and it was such a simple wish.

"Your desire to care for others, and to be cared for, to be cared for, to be a true friend of others, is a harmless and unbelievable desire compared to those really deep, dark, and terrible desires. As long as Koichiro-sama stops restraining his feelings excessively when he gets along with people normally, the flame will lose the fuel it can use even if it wants to burn. ”

"So, Ichiro-sama."

"From today onwards, take this opportunity to learn to rely on and trust others, and be trusted and relied on by others, just like a real child."

"It's not the opposite of what you really want (rebuilding your name) to be honest with others about what you really want."

"Otherwise, no matter how careful you are, one day, this flame will ...... at your most unexpected moment"

"Rekindled."
