Chapter 171: Trapped in the Trap of Butterflies
A week later in the morning.
The immortal Minoru Chuan, who returned from going out to kill ghosts, met Yoshiyoshi Tomioka on a narrow road at the door of the butterfly house.
"Tsk...... It's really bad luck to meet you early in the morning. β
Immortal Chuan stopped, clasped his hands on his chest, and his tone was still as bad as ever.
In fact, under the correction of Butterfly Chanahui, Minoru Immortal has corrected a lot recently. But for some reason, whenever he saw Tomioka Yoshiyu's ancient face, he unconsciously returned to the days when he and his younger brother were on the streets after his mother's death.
The rule of survival there is that if you don't behave fiercely, you are likely to be robbed of something by the other party.
However, in the face of the provocation of the immortal river. As if he hadn't seen anything, Tomioka didn't pay any attention to his meaning, and was about to rush to the door, but his hand was unconsciously on the hilt of the sword.
The next moment, he was blocked by a fried white hedgehog.
"Hey, hey, as a water jet, you should have your own place to live, right?"
Immortal Minoru spoke with a sense of oppression, and his face without scars was still terrifying.
For a long time, in the ghost killing team, the treatment of the pillar is very superior, not only can you spend as much as you want (theoretically, you can spend as much as you want, and the Sanyashiki family was almost bankrupt by Ganlu Temple), but also allocate a Japanese-style mansion with exquisite decoration.
And after the government began to accept the ghost slayer team, the whole team was treated better, not to mention being the highest-ranking pillar.
"Why do you live here all the time without being injured, and you have to trouble others to take care of your diet, isn't it a bit too serious about yourself?"
Questioned by the immortal river one after another, Tomioka Yoshiyoshi tilted his head, and his dull eyes were full of doubt.
"Aren't you the same?"
"How could I be like you!"
Immortal Minoru raised his head with some pride, "It's because I haven't been assigned a place to live yet, that's why I'm staying here." β
This is a lie.
It is true that he did not receive the "welfare housing" from the maternity house, but that was not the reason why he stayed here.
It is more convenient to protect the butterfly Chanae, which is his purpose.
Of course, it's also to see each other often, even every day.
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to Immortalgawa's words, Tomioka Yoshiyong's eyebrows suddenly drooped a little.
Immortal Chuan immediately recognized it, it should be this facial paralysis expressing "sympathy".
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Being inexplicably sympathetic to this kind of guy annoyed Minoru Immortal Chuan.
Tomioka replied, "Megumi Chana told me that a house will come after it becomes a pillar, and it has always been like this. β
Then he added: "You must have a bad temper, so you are hated by the lord." β
After speaking, he sighed slightly, and staggered past the immortal river blocked in front of him like flowing water.
"It's pathetic."
Then, he stepped through the door, leaving the immortal river with doubts on his face messy in the wind.
Immortal Minoru Kawa's two hanging eyes widened in disbelief, and earthworm-like blood suddenly gushed out one by one.
What......
What is he talking about?!
Isn't he the most annoying guy in the Ghost Slayer?
Is this person really uncountable?
Last time, I wrote me a letter on eighteen sheets of paper, just to say that this guy is wrong!
Why does he say I'm pathetic!
The more Immortal Chuan thought about it, the more angry he became, and his white hair was full of wind, and he suddenly turned his body.
"Stop! Make it clear to me! β
Then he pounced on Tomioka's back, and the wind and water set off a tornado in the butterfly house.
This is the sixteenth fight between the two since the Momoyama fire.
Because of the sneak attack, Immortal Chuan was lucky to get back a game this time, and the ratio of the two was 8:8.
However, neither the winners nor the losers had the last laugh.
Half an hour later, Butterfly Chanae's room.
"I'm sorry!"
Immortal Chuan admitted his mistake very simply, anyway, it was not the first time.
And although Butterfly Chanae smiled, she also knew very well in her heart that if the hostility between the two was not completely resolved (or the unilateral hostility of Minoru Kawa), there would soon be a next time, and if she was not there next time, who would have the ability to stop them.
This problem must be solved!
"Why are you still like children?"
She gently applied the ointment to Immortal Chuan's cheek, where the wound was caused by Immortal Chuan's own fist, after all, "Dengli" is not only used to flick a knife, but also a good hand to flick a fist.
"Speaking of which, is it because of me that Shiya is so flattering to Mr. Tomioka?"
In order to take care of Minoru Kawa's emotions, Butterfly Chanae specially used the word "sir" to keep a distance when addressing Tomioka Yoshiyu.
"Are you going to ......?"
Speaking of this, the movement of Butterfly Chane's hand stopped, and looked into Immortal Chuan's eyes with a bit of amusement.
"It's because we trained with Miss Yongzhen together before, and our relationship is very close, so we're jealous, right?"
Hearing this, the skin of the immortal Minoru immediately glowed red like sunburn, and his originally relaxed posture suddenly became extremely stiff, and his mouth opened but he couldn't speak, as if someone had robbed him of his vocal cords.
"I see......"
Butterfly Chanae sat back in place "dejectedly", her eyelids drooped, and she was a little disheartened.
"So Shiya doesn't trust me so much."
"Nothingβ"
Immortal Chuan was completely panicked, and almost shouted out loudly, "I absolutely, never have such thoughts!" β
"I just don't want to see him eat your food for nothing! And he's always alone and won't let me drink the fish soup! β
Butterfly Chanae suddenly buried her head in the ground, as if she would cry at any moment, and her shoulders began to shake slightly.
Just as Minoru Immortal was about to apologize with all her might, there was a burst of laughter like a silver bell from under her lowered head.
Butterfly Chanae covered her stomach with a smile, and supported one hand on the table, a little out of breath.
"You ......"
Immortal Chuan didn't understand what was going on.
"Really...... Be...... Excuse me. β
Butterfly Chanae wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little thumb, and her face flushed after laughing, "I just didn't expect you to say such a thing." β
"You're alright!"
"Of course it's fine."
It took a few seconds to completely calm down, and Butterfly Chanae barely recovered to her original state, "I know you don't think like that, but I just want to see how embarrassed you are, and it turns out to be a windfall...... You really don't know anything about girls, Shimi. β
Immortal Chuan's face darkened slightly.
"And, you're the same as Shinobi, and your reaction is pretty cute."
"That's not the word for men......
Immortal Chuan turned his head, not wanting the other party to see his current expression, because it would definitely be awkward.
He felt like he had been complimented, but he felt that the compliment had made him a little embarrassed.
Only the pounding and speeding heartbeat was confiding his true feelings-
He was experiencing a rather blissful embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you." Butterfly Kanae said, "Actually, Kuang Jinjin told me before leaving, and you seem to have misunderstood Mr. Tomioka. β
"For example, you occasionally see him talking to himself in the pond."
"You already knew?" Minoru Immortal was very surprised, but he didn't expect that Tomioka Yoshiyu's narcissistic behavior was not the only one who knew about it.
After all, complimenting yourself in your own reflection or something......
It was so disappointing for him, as a traditional Japanese man.
"Of course I do, after all, that's what I told him to do."
Butterfly Chanae nodded slightly,
She is not only an insider, but even an "initiator".
Without waiting for the immortal Kawa Minoru to continue to ask, Butterfly Chanae directly told the immortal Kawa Minoru about Tomioka's past.
Tomioka first lost his sister who depended on him for his life, and then lost his friend who could trust him with life and death during the selection of swordsmen, and then lived in a mental cage of "I am not worthy", "I am bad", and "everything is a fluke".
Until he became a pillar, he was not able to restore his normal and healthy psychology.
"So, every time he says, 'I'm different from you,' he actually means ......"
Immortal Chuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he could completely and completely misunderstand the other party.
"Yes, that's 'I'm not as good as you,' not 'I'm better than all of you.'" Butterfly Chanae added, "He didn't think he was worthy of being a pillar, or even a member of the Ghost Slayer team, so much so that for more than three years, every time he was injured, he solved it himself, and it was also because he felt that he shouldn't take up the resources of the Ghost Slayer team." β
"When Mr. Tomioka received his salary before he became a pillar, he would divide the money into three parts, and then secretly leave two of them to the families of the victims who had killed their relatives by demons."
"If it weren't for Miss Yongzhen subduing him before, I'm afraid you haven't been able to meet him until now."
After listening to Butterfly Chanae's explanation, Minoru Immortal Kawa's face turned blank, and he felt that he had seen all kinds of people.
Who would have thought that a water pillar Tomioka Yoshiyong, who was labeled as "lonely high", "lone wolf", and "disdainful of being with others", would actually be such a person.
Unlike him and Butterfly Shinobu who directed all their anger at the evil spirit, this guy has been blaming himself all the time!
"That's why you let him ......"
Thinking of Tomioka Yoshiyu's "narcissistic behavior", the immortal Minoru Kawa suddenly realized.
"It was because he couldn't see himself clearly that I would ask other people about his strengths, and then twice a day, he would repeat what they thought of him to his reflection in the water, so that he could see his abilities objectively."
Butterfly Chanae had some anticipation in her eyes.
"It might seem a little strange in Japan...... This is what I learned from a German psychiatrist, and although it works slowly, it is always useful based on Mr. Tomioka's current performance. β
Otherwise, with the previous Tomioka righteousness, maybe he would stand still and let the immortal river bully.
"These things shouldn't have been told to you."
Butterfly Chanae reluctantly pointed at the bruise on the neck of the immortal Minoru Kawa with her index finger, "But I was unharmed when I went ghost hunting, but I was beaten like this by my comrades, I don't think it's really okay not to say it." β
"So ......"
"I see." Immortal Chuan picked his head in shame, "I'll be polite to him in the future." β
Hearing this, Butterfly Chanae immediately showed a "teachable" expression, and then changed the topic to the other side.
"By the way, speaking of doctors...... A week ago, one of my father's friends came to me and invited me and Shinobu to his house tonight. β
"World friends?"
"Yes, both of us are doctors, and before the Meiji era, both of us worked for the same national daimyo."
"It wasn't until the Great Politics was returned and the feuds were withdrawn that my father came to Tokyo and opened a pharmacy on the street. But their family has risen to prominence and now treats the royal family. It's just that after my father died, we never contacted each other again. β
Butterfly Chanae told me about the matter, "The reason why she found me this time is because she heard my name when she was treating His Majesty, so she asked Mr. Uji, who was in charge of guarding the Imperial Palace, to bring me a letter. β
"That's ......"
Immortal Minoru has no elders and no family origins, so he is very unfamiliar with these things, and he doesn't know what to say.
"But why is it night?"
February is coming to an end, which means that winter is coming to an end.
If the old woman said that things were destined to happen, it should have been the events of these few days.
"After all, that uncle is a doctor for the royal family, so he must be very busy during the day."
Butterfly Chanae said understandingly, "If you don't worry, you can follow me and Shinobu over." She's going to be back from Genichiro by noon, and I'm going to talk to her about 'cooperating' with the oni. β
Hearing the name of Butterfly Shinobi, Immortal Kawa Minoru subconsciously touched his eyes.
"Forget it, I'll just wait for you outside."
"Let's go together."
Butterfly Chanae grabbed the hand of the immortal Minoru Chuan, "I can't let you get frozen outside alone because of this kind of thing." β
"But after all...... After all, it's an outsider, so it's very presumptuous in the past......"
"Not an outsider."
βοΌβ Immortal Minoru was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?" β
A hint of blush appeared on Butterfly Chane's face, "Just as my fiancΓ©, I guess they will understand, right?" β
A few seconds later.
Minoru Immortal almost opened the markings again because of a fast heartbeat.
Meanwhile.
Located in a quaint Japanese-style mansion on the outskirts of Tokyo.
A handsome young man wearing a red monk's hat and colorful eyes was half-lying in the living room as wantonly as a reclining Buddha.
His eyes narrowed slightly, yawning from time to time, the fan in his hand swayed slightly, and the family of four below looked at his lazy posture with obsessive faces.
"No problem, Dr. Saeki?"
The boy's tone was frivolous, but not annoying, "Those two beautiful young ladies will definitely go to the appointment, right?" β
"Yes, they will definitely come to the house on time, Chanae's child, has always respected the elders very much."
The head of the family at the bottom, this bald middle-aged man who speaks, is the royal physician who invited the Butterfly Sisters to the mansion, Saeki-an.
"If they knew that Your Excellency the Sect Master was here, they would be overjoyed."
Between the words, he didn't seem to know the true identity of the young man with colored pupils above, and he just wanted to simply draw the two beautiful girls in their youth into the Eternal Bliss Sect.
Because according to the teachings, only by spreading the idea of Bliss to more people can they be reborn in Elysium after they die.
And the teachings make it very clear that those women who have beautiful faces and kind and gentle personalities are the reincarnations of bodhisattvas, and if they can be joined, it will be a great merit.
But......
Doing bad things with good intentions, has this happened less in the history of mankind?
