After observing the battle, the pillars were all thoughtful.

The other side of the dojo.

Some tired Tomioka put down his wooden knife and rested against the wall.

Then.

Tread, tread.

A soft voice accompanied the sound of footsteps.

Tomioka subconsciously looked up.

When he saw the comer, his face froze.

"Mr. Tomioka?"

Butterfly Shinobu took a few steps, stood next to Tomioka Yoshiyu, poked his head out slightly, looked at him suspiciously, and seemed to be faintly angry in his tone:

"Before, why didn't you listen to me and stay in the butterfly house to recuperate?"

"Even if it's a column, you can't perform a mission while you're wounded..."

She raised her head and tried to look at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was turning his head away from her:

"I don't need to say more about this kind of rule, right...?"

Butterfly Shinobu smiled.

It's just that this smile made Tomioka Yoshiyu, who turned his head sideways, feel slightly embarrassed.

Even the hot-tempered Immortal Kawa would honestly stay at the Butterfly House for treatment, and Butterfly couldn't think of any reason why Tomioka was reluctant to stay.

After a while.

It seems that he really can't avoid the sight of Butterfly Shinobi, Tomioka Yoshiyoshi looked sideways, and his tone did not change:

"My injuries are fine..."

Butterfly was stunned for a moment.

Then he reacted, smiled and tilted his head:

“？”

She held out a finger and poked it at the outside of Tomioka's thigh with great precision.

Poof!

Tomioka's face turned pale.

Seeing this, Butterfly Shinobu was even more convinced of his thoughts.

From the moment she watched the battle, she felt that something was wrong.

"Now, Mr. Tomioka." She smiled, the corners of her mouth trembling slightly, and she felt her forehead jump:

"If the injury is already healed..."

“… What's going on? ”

Tomioka turned his head tremblingly and did not answer.

……

……

Under the actual combat training of Tan Shilang and Sorrow Mingyu in turn.

The week-long training passed quickly.

What is surprising is that in just one week, there are indeed pillars that have successfully opened the transparent world, but they are not yet proficient in mastering it.

- Tonzu, Cosmopolitan Tengen.

- and Serpent Pillar Ihei Bane.

Meanwhile.

The final selection, which also lasted for seven days, also came to the end.

And the team members who pass the selection, as well as the team members who give up halfway, will be brought to the butterfly house for treatment and recuperation.

Now.

Butterfly House.

Tomioka sat in the courtyard, under the advice of the butterfly shinobi, sitting quietly and motionless.

I heard that Mr. Scales was helping out in the butterfly house, but he didn't see the other party.

Perhaps because he had been staying for too long, Scales had left the butterfly house and returned to the Narrow Fog Mountain.

The dark blue eyes didn't know where to look.

"You survived, too... Great..."

The team members who passed by and supported each other either hugged each other and cried, or limped into the butterfly house.

Under the care of the butterfly house, Shanyi, who had long been cured, was standing at the door of the butterfly house with a yellow hair, looking nervously at the people passing by:

"That, that!" His voice was a little timid, and he watched a person pass by him, and stretched out his hand slightly:

"You've seen a swordsman with black hair, a magatama around his neck, and a thunder breath... ?..."

"A little taller than me, with thick eyebrows..."

Shanyi's eyes trembled slightly, perhaps because his voice was too weak, and the people passing by didn't pay attention to him:

"Has anyone seen him..."

He's been waiting here all morning.

The hope in my heart slowly lowered from anticipation, and the voice of my voice gradually became smaller:

"Please... Tell me..."

Watching another scarred swordsman walk past him, Shanyi lowered his hand in disappointment, his brow trembling.

Grandpa couldn't wait, so he had already stood on the road ahead of the butterfly house and waited.

Senior Brother Miaoyue...

Shanyi's fists were slowly clenched, and his eyes were a little unconsciously rosy.

Although Miyue is usually very strict with himself, it is all because he really can't learn other sword types.

In his heart, Shanyi still admires this senior brother who trains very hard.

The master also often allows himself to learn from his brother.

But... It's already noon, and my brother still hasn't come back...

Don't...

Just when my wife Shanyi thought of some bad results, her face gradually turned pale.

“… You. ”

A hoarse female voice sounded beside her, and the visitor staggered, barely holding on to the stone next to him.

Hearing this, Shanyi hurriedly looked up.

Front.

The girl, who was wearing a short ponytail but had a tired face and a somewhat dazed look, was barely standing with a knife against the ground.

It's Aoi Kanzaki.

She gasped, frowned, and looked up tremblingly:

“… The man who said it. ”

"Have you seen it?" Seeing this, Shanyi's anxious face showed a trace of apprehension, and he hurriedly supported the other party.

I just wanted to open my mouth and continue to ask, but when I noticed the other party's state, I swallowed the words of doubt instantly, and he opened his mouth in a panic:

"It's okay, or you better go and rest first..."

Kanzaki Aoi shook her head, she was supported to stand, and tried to say:

"Fuji Attack Mountain... There's a big ghost..."

At the moment when her words just fell.

Sitting not far away, Tomioka Yoshiyong, who had been in a daze, suddenly twitched his ears twice.

His eyes also looked at this side, and his eyes, which had been blank, instantly became solemn.

"I... I heard it, he ate fifty people..."Aoi Kanzaki swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and she said intermittently:

"When I saw him... There's a guy with a magatama around his neck... He's chasing him..."

After saying that.

Kanzaki Aoi rolled his eyes, and the whole person collapsed weakly.

My wife, Shanyi, who was stunned when she heard this, was suddenly startled, he looked down at the collapsed Kanzaki Aoi, and subconsciously shouted:

"Ahh He turned his head sharply, looked left and right, and staggered to pick up Kanzaki Aoi:

"Anyone! Who comes! Someone here has passed out! ”

……

Meanwhile.

Creak...

The door on the first floor of the butterfly house was pushed open, and Butterfly Shinobu walked out from behind the door.

She smiled, holding the medicine for Tomioka in her hand:

"Mr. Tomioka." Butterfly Shinobu raised his head and looked at the courtyard: "The medicine has been prepared..."

But originally, Tomioka Yoshiyu, who was supposed to sit on the stone, disappeared at this moment.

——？

Swell!

The smiling butterfly ninja crumbled the liquid medicine in the test tube in his hand.

Green tendons faintly erupted on his forehead.

……

"Just leave it to us, hard work."

After Shanyi shouted, a member of the hidden team quickly rushed out of the butterfly house, and quickly carried the fainted Kanzaki Aoi on his back.

And quickly rushed to the inside of the butterfly house.

Shanyi watched the departing backs of the hidden team members and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly, he remembered what Kanzaki Aoi had just said.

Turning his head to look in the direction outside the door of the butterfly house.

But there—there were no more swordsmen coming this way.

He froze.

Standing in place, like a stone, I waited for a long time.
