Chapter Twenty-Four – Purgatory Maki Juro
……
It's early in the morning.
The bird's song is accompanied by flowing water, and it is slightly transmitted in the mountains.
Inside the mansion.
Tanjuro Kamado looked up, his gaze looking towards where the sound came from.
It was on the roof.
Tread, step, step.
The slight sound of feet stepping on tatami mats is heard.
A figure dressed in white feather weaving slowly walked from the inside of the house, his voice was soft and gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze:
"Everybody's here."
"I haven't seen you for half a year."
The visitor had black hair, and his face was difficult to see because of the purple scar spreading down from his forehead.
The scar covered his left eye, his white eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes drooped, and his pupils turned gray.
His right eye still seemed to be able to see, and his dark purple pupils slowly swept over the people in the courtyard, and he smiled, his voice soft and steady:
"My lovely children."
"Are you all okay during this period?"
【Ghost Slayer Leader: Yaoya Sanyashiki】
Behind him, two children, one with black and one white hair, closed the sliding door of the roof, walked up to him, and reached out to support him.
Swish!
When Yaoya Sanyashiki walked out of the roof, the current six pillars of the Demon Slayer Team took a loose attitude from before.
They bent their knees slightly, half-knelt in front of the roof, and hung their heads.
Even Iguro Bane, who was in the tree, quickly jumped down from the tree and half-knelt in front of the roof.
"It's all good."
The immortal Minoru who was not kind to this changed his previous style, he raised his eyes slightly, half-knelt on the ground, and his tone was very respectful:
"But your health is the most important thing, my lord."
"I'm so happy for you."
Goo...
And that's... Lord Lord?
Murata followed Tomioka Yoshiyu to his knees, he was sweating profusely in a panic, and after realizing that the other pillars had suddenly become serious, he no longer dared to look up to observe the lord.
Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the ants on the ground, soothing his rapid breathing due to nervousness.
“……”
Purgatory Kyojurou put his hands on his knees, his expression was serious and serious, he didn't react, and sat directly on the ground with a bang.
Today was the first time he had participated in the Zhuhe meeting on behalf of his father, so he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Feeling the gazes of the other pillars, he didn't have time to change postures, so he quickly straightened his back and looked straight ahead.
The Purgatory's unique red flame color shimmers in the sun.
Smack.
Tanjuro Kamado sat next to Kyojuro in Purgatory, and he sat there with him.
As a frail and sickly Yamano Shifu, unlike those pillars, his body can't bear it after kneeling for a long time.
Moreover.
He glanced at Purgatory Kyojurou and smiled at the latter.
It seems that Xing Shoulang, who will serve as Yanzhu in the future, is also a little overwhelmed now, and if he has such a "companion", it may be much better.
Purgatory Kyojuro looked at Tan Juro and was slightly stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and his mood immediately became as usual and full of energy.
- Uh-huh! Mr. Kamado is a good man!
Tanjuro withdrew his gaze, and his gaze slowly shifted to Yaoya Sanyashiki on the roof.
Observe the other person's appearance that is somewhat different from his impression.
The wound on his face was not as large as he remembered, and now it seemed that he was only blind in one eye.
Before, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
In the original.
Tanjiro took Yazuko and followed Scales Left to train for more than two years before passing the final selection of Fuji Raid Mountain.
In other words, it is about two to three years ago.
Therefore, the ghost slayer team that originally had nine pillars in three years now only has six pillars.
Less, Xia, Love, Yan, these three pillars.
Now, the strength of the Ghost Slayer Team is far less abundant than he remembers.
At the same time, he probably guessed why the lord asked him to come to the Pillar Council.
Just as Tanjuro was silently thinking about this.
"Thanks, Minoru." Yaoyashiki's undamaged dark purple right pupil looked at the immortal river, he smiled and nodded slightly:
"After the last round, the situation has become a bit lonely."
Yaoya slowly knelt on the edge of the roof, his white eyelashes shimmering in the sunlight, shaking slightly:
"At this point, I have to make more requests to you."
"Forgive me for that."
As he spoke, Yaoya lowered his head slightly, and he closed his eyes to express his apology and self-blame.
"You don't have to."
"That's what we're supposed to do, my lord."
"That's right!"
Seeing this, the pillars' tones became anxious.
Only Butterfly Shinobi's expression changed from smiling to slowly becoming silent, and she didn't speak.
The hand placed on the feather weave was also slowly clenched, and the pinch turned white.
Seeing the self-reproachful look on the face of the lord, the immortal Kawa Minoru frowned slightly, thought of a countermeasure in his heart, and hurriedly shouted:
"Your Excellency!"
"With all due respect, before that..."
His gaze looked to the side, in the direction of Purgatory Kyojuro, and his eyes became fierce again:
"Why didn't Yanzhu, Mr. Maki Shouro of Purgatory come.
"Instead, there is a swordsman who is not a pillar."
"Mr. Maki Jurou of Purgatory, is something wrong?"
When Purgatory Xingjuro heard this, he raised his head, smiled, his eyes were firm, and his voice was heroic:
"Father, he..."
"Hey!!" Immortal Minoru suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Purgatory Kyojuro's words, his face gloomy and squinting:
"Who told you to interject!"
Yaoya slowly raised his head, and he explained in a loud voice:
"Shimi, don't embarrass him too much."
"Today, we are discussing several things, and Makijuro's situation is one of them."
He turned his head sideways, and his somewhat cloudy gaze also looked at Purgatory Kyojuro, smiling, and his voice was gentle:
"You must be quite worried about Maki Juro."
"Can you tell us how he's doing at home?"
Purgatory Kyojuro looked at Yaoya Sanyashiki in a daze, he listened to the other party's words, and only felt that his head was a little buzzing.
Incredible...!
This special timbre makes people feel as warm as a spring breeze!
After being stunned for a while, he quickly came back to his senses and explained:
"Father, he..."
"Since the death of my mother, my father has lost all his fighting spirit."
"In the beginning, I would carry alcohol with me when I went on a mission."
"Now, I often lock myself in the house, drink heavily, and I don't go out on assignments anymore."
After listening to Kyojuro's words, the scene fell into silence almost for a moment.
"Ahh It's a shame......"
Sorrowful Mingyu Xingming picked up the Buddha beads, he clasped his hands together, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his cloudy and white eyes, and his tone was calm and sad:
"In that case, Mr. Maki Koshiro may no longer be able to serve as a flame pillar..."
Crash!
Yu Marrow Tianyuan suddenly raised his head, the glowing gem jewelry shook with his movements, he raised his hand, and his tone was flat:
"I think he should retire right now."
"There is nothing good for such guys to continue to stay, but it will lower our morale."
