Chapter 112: Tomioka is brave and super weak
The voice of the third person rescued Butterfly Shinobu from the warm hell that Hanazhu had prepared for her.
Almost, just little, she was about to nod her head in agreement.
At that moment just now, it seemed that as long as she could stop her sister from crying and worrying about her, Butterfly was willing to let go of anything......
Under the gaze of such a pair of sincere, pleading eyes, I am afraid that even the ghost will not be able to say a word of refusal, as if disappointing the butterfly Chanae is the most cruel thing in the world.
It wasn't until the voice of Jiulang's greeting came, cutting a crack in this strange field, that her reason began to breathe freely again, and the whole person obviously seemed to be unburdened with a thousand pounds, and it was a lot easier.
At least, my sister wants to bring up this topic again, so she can only wait for the next such a good opportunity!
As long as she no longer shows such vulnerability after that, she will not give her sister a similar excuse.
Thanks to Kurou today!
Butterfly Shinobu thought so.
Then again.
Seeing the visitor, the two sisters came out of the world of the two, turned around in unison, wiped the tears from their faces, and then turned their heads with similar expressions, but their eyes were still red.
As the two strongest women of the Ghost Slayer Team, they are unexpectedly pitiful at this time.
In the few seconds when the Butterfly Sisters were hiding their feelings, Jiulang had already helped Tomioka Yoshiyoshi to the two of them.
Kuro's outfit is no different from that in Yoshiwara, but for a child of his age, wearing only two layers of clothing always looks a little thin.
But for this Miko, who runs all over Ashina without shoes, the temperature in Tokyo in November is really nothing, at least not the slightest difference from his face.
On the contrary, it was Tomioka Yoshiyoshi, who looked dark and looked sluggish, as if he was anxious about something, and he was even more haggard on top of the usual stagnant pool.
He wore a thick fur cloak over his shoulders, and the bandage on his abdomen occasionally peeked through the gaps in the cloak, and the pungent aroma of herbs made one have to worry about his health.
"Jiurou, Your Excellency the Water Pillar."
Butterfly Shinobu saw Kurou and immediately cheered up.
But after moving his gaze to Tomioka's face, the memory of being teased before suddenly came to mind, and his eyes suddenly became a lot stranger.
Although these are some bad things...... But seeing his unlucky appearance, Butterfly Shinobu was still a little inexplicably happy.
Of course, only for a moment.
"It's Mr. Tomioka, we haven't seen each other for three months since we last said goodbye."
Butterfly Chana and Tomioka greeted each other with a smile, "Do you remember me?" ”
The so-called last time was the day when Tomioka Yoshiyoshi became a water column.
But after all the Pillar Meeting, he never appeared again, nor did he contact anyone from the Ghost Slayer Team.
It was only his crows that occasionally passed on messages through other crows they met by chance, and everyone knew that this person was supposed to be alive......
But not once did it happen to him.
If it weren't for the fact that Butterfly Chanae knew the life experiences of everyone in the Demon Slayer, even she would have thought that Tomioka Yoshiyu was an unruly character.
However, Tomioka only nodded stiffly at Butterfly Chane's active accosting, but did not utter even a syllable, and was even frightened back by the other party's enthusiasm.
In Tomioka, Butterfly Chanae is a pillar loved by everyone in the ghost killing team, saving hundreds of lives, and the gap between him and people like him who became a pillar by luck is too big.
Therefore, just being accosted by the other party, he felt a little ashamed of himself.
The long-standing clouds gathered even more violently above him.
Seeing him like this, a tic-tac-toe suddenly appeared on the door of Butterfly Ninja's brain.
Is it serious to take a step back? It's like there's something weird about my sister!
No matter who you are, this guy is not polite at all! It's so damning!!
Not even as good as the kid Jiulang!
On the contrary, Butterfly Chanae had already expected Tomioka's reaction, no longer forcing the other party to speak, and moved her eyes to Kuro on the side.
This is the child who gave the magical persimmon to Shinobi.
Butterfly Chanae only glanced at it, and a good feeling was born in her heart.
The child had eyes as clear as those of the lord, and the posture of both walking and standing was as steady as a mountain, and it was hard for her to imagine that this face could make any fierce expressions.
If the kid gave her an inscrutable uneasiness, it was as if she were treating everyone else as an imaginary enemy......
The child in front of him seemed to be born with a dignity that people dare not offend.
It's no wonder that Jiurou is different from other children, after all, those children tremble when they see Xiao Shinobi.
"So you're Kuro."
Butterfly Chanae leaned down slightly, and her smile was a little richer than before.
"Xiao Ren has always mentioned you to me in the past two days, and I always see you today. I didn't think you were cuter than that kid Ichiro. ”
Hearing her sister use "cute" to describe the little ghost who is serious about everything, Butterfly couldn't help but purse her lips, trying not to let herself laugh.
"Let's get to know each other. My name is Butterfly Kanae, and I'm Shinobi's older sister and Butterfly's doctor. In the past two days, Shinobu and I have not been in the butterfly house, but I have made Miss Eijin and Kurou as guests disheartened, and I really don't know how to thank you. ”
Butterfly Chanel Megumi saluted.
"Miss Chanel is so polite." Jiulang hurriedly returned the salute, "It's because we have to thank you for taking it in." ”
After all, on the surface, he would be here because the dim sum shop was destroyed and there was no place to live for the time being.
Although Genichiro has already obtained the building, the Hirata Mansion, he is still looking for a place to put it in, and there is still some distance from moving in.
After Kuro said this, his clear eyes roamed over the red eye sockets of the two sisters, and then he noticed that the center of gravity of Butterfly Shinobi's entire body was leaning on Butterfly Chane's body.
"Miss Shinobi, is this hurt?"
With a hint of worry in his tone, he subconsciously let go of Tomioka Yoshiyu's arm and took a slight step forward. Tomioka looked at his empty arms and fell into deep thought.
"It's just a normal cramp, I'm used to it."
Butterfly Shinobu didn't like others to see her weak, so she quickly stood up straight and staggered the topic.
"But you two, where are you going so early?"
She glanced pointedly at the bandages on Yoshiyuki Tomioka's body, "Does he really look like this to get out of bed?" Wouldn't it be that he didn't listen to the doctor's advice like before, and followed his own temperament, right? ”
"Shinobi!" Butterfly Chanae gently tugged her, and Butterfly Shinobu turned off the verbal attack mode.
"It's not that Mr. Yiyong is willful, in fact, his physique is very good, and after using medicine, his injuries recover very quickly."
"But for some reason, he hasn't been in a good mood lately, and he often falls into a trance."
Kuro explained: "Miss Yongzhen thinks that just lying in bed and resting is not conducive to Mr. Yiyong's recovery, so I asked me to accompany Mr. Yiyong to go outside and buy some of Mr. Yiyong's favorite dishes by the way, hoping to make him happier." ”
Tomioka Yoshiyoshi didn't expect Dr. Yongzhen to settle Kuro like this, and the truth was found to be a puddle to melt into on the spot.
It turns out that my state is actually so bad?
Have you even shaken your heart as a pillar?
Sure enough, I don't deserve to be a pillar......
"Is there anything else you say?" The Butterfly Sisters looked at each other.
In this era, it is still basic common sense that you should recuperate after being injured, and there is still little knowledge about the active role of mental treatment.
"Well, Miss Yongjin said that feeling the warmth of people is also a form of therapy that can make people positive."
Kurou replied, "After all, if Mr. Yoshiyo looks at the people who have become happy because of his efforts, he will know better what it means to kill evil spirits, right?" ”
"On the other hand, if you only motivate you for revenge or venting, you won't be happy even if you kill more demons."
"Over time, even the most emotionally rich person will become a huge hole that constantly loses himself."
As Kuro's words fell, a warm breeze swept past the others, and the other three showed all their thoughtful expressions.
What Yongzhen said was more about the Shura she remembered for the purpose of killing, but Butterfly Shinobu and Tomioka Yoshiyu unconsciously substituted for themselves.
Glancing at Tomioka's more and more uncomfortable, and even faintly revealing a painful expression, Butterfly Kanae suddenly remembered what the lord had said......
After that experience, the child must have felt lonely and miserable from time to time.
As long as you don't come into contact with people, and don't give yourself time to think with one task after another, you won't wake up those painful memories, but this is just self-deception after all......
I wish I had another chance to have a good chat with him.
Thinking of this, Butterfly Chanae suddenly suggested, "It's better to be like this, I just happened to go buy some crude medicine, so I'll accompany Mr. Tomioka." ”
"Huh?"
Butterfly Shinobu showed a look of surprise, does my sister want to be alone with this nasty ghost?
Maybe if you walk less than 500 meters, your sister will be angry with him!
"As for Shinobi, I'll trouble you with Jiulang." Butterfly Chanae pushed her sister over beside her, with some ridicule in her tone, "She didn't sleep all night last night, you must urge her to rest immediately, I feel like she will definitely listen to you~"
"Sister!" Butterfly Shinobi's face turned unusually red.
"What about Mr. Tomioka?" Butterfly Chanae ignored him at all, and instead asked him Tomioka Yoshitoi, "Do you have any opinions?" ”
"I don't have to ......"
"You heard, Mr. Tomioka also said that he didn't need Kuro to accompany him."
Butterfly Chanae gently held Tomioka Yoshiyu's elbow, and dragged the other party away without saying a word, settling down as she walked.
"Xiao Ren, you are also a patient now, you have to listen to Jiurou's words, you can't be willful......"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tomioka Yoshiyoshi turned his head and gave Kuro a look for help, but Kuro was focused on determining whether Butterfly Shinobi's body was in serious trouble, so he did not respond to his gaze.
After the two pillars completely disappeared around the corner of the street, Kurou helped the butterfly shinobu to slowly move towards the butterfly house, but the movements between the two people were always very uncoordinated, and it looked like two cripples were struggling to walk.
"Miss Shinobi, put your hand on my other shoulder."
Kuro suggested.
"Huh?" Butterfly Shinobu is a little embarrassed, won't that be like hugging his neck?
"If you can't walk, it's okay for me to carry you in."
Jiurou was full of confidence when he said this, after all, he had also supported the collapsed beams of the underground Buddhist hall with one hand, and Miss Shinobu looked like thirty kilograms at most, he had absolutely no problem.
Butterfly Shinobi's face suddenly turned red from the base of his neck upwards.
She almost said yes again.
But considering that Xiao Cheng and Xiao Qing may still be inside, if they are seen, wouldn't it be majestic and swept away......
"That, or ...... I'll hold you by the shoulder. ”
"Okay, just lean over the weight."
"Well, let's go around from the side, let's not disturb Xiaoqing and them to take care of the patient."
"But that's an extra five minutes of walking, are you okay with your legs?"
"Wouldn't that be better?"
"What?"
"I mean, I want to stop by the goldfish so I can fall asleep faster......"
"Do goldfish still have this effect? Then I'll let Mr. Yiyong try it tonight, he can't sleep at night. ”
"Really? He can't be the kind of person who suffers from insomnia, right? ”
"I don't know why, but last night, I thought I heard him crying......"
……
The other side.
Tomioka was like a walking corpse, and the people on the street were terrified when they saw him like this, for fear that this young man had some terrible infection.
"Mr. Tomioka? Mr. Tomioka? ”
Butterfly Chanae came out of the pharmacy and bought some nourishing ingredients such as bear bile and deer antler velvet, intending to prepare some medicines for the lord to nourish his body.
Although the devouring god of Genichiro did not solve the curse of the lord, it eliminated some complications, and many special medicinal materials that had previously seemed to be too strong could now be reconsidered.
It just so happened that when Mr. Tomioka recovered, let him take it with him.
After all, no matter what kind of heart knot, after talking to the lord once, it will be improved immediately.
However, when she was about to tell Tomioka what she thought, he refused with a gloomy expression.
"I'm not going."
Butterfly Chanae asked, "Why?" ”
"I'm not like you."
If it were someone else, she might have been angry when she heard such an answer, but Butterfly Chanae chose to continue to ask.
She knew a lot of inside information, but she couldn't connect it to Tomioka's way of thinking.
But now, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to run with a bandage, but instead gave her this chance.
In the current situation, the lord can't be worried about other things.
What do you mean by saying differently? Is it breathing? Gender? Or something else......"
Tomioka had planned to stop there, and he didn't go any further.
But when he thought of the experience of these days, he suddenly felt a long-lost helplessness, as if he had returned to the day when he woke up from a coma in the trial of the vine attack mountain.
Tomioka Yoshiyoshi's face overflowed with a hint of determination, and there was a deep resentment that he couldn't tell who he was pointing to.
"I just got lucky to become a pillar, and I don't have this qualification at all."
"I'm really, really weak."
"Outrageously weak."
"It's completely different from you."
