……

on the streets.

Tanjuro and Sorrowful Mingyu are guarding the Yuwoza, which is immersed in hallucinations.

Soon.

Da-da-da-da!

The sound of footsteps colliding on the rooftops across the street.

"Mr. Kamado ——!"

Purgatory Kyojuro shouted, and he was blown by the wind and jumped off the roof: "I'm sorry! We're late! ”

Bang!

He slammed down the street, his legs crouching slightly.

"Has it been resolved?" Kyojuro raised his head and looked at Tanjuro who turned his head to look at him with a radiant expression.

After looking around, Kyojuro's gaze stayed on the body of the Tsunoza, half of his body turned into ashes.

- It's the winding ghost!

This look...

He lifted his wide, piercing eyes.

Is it already half dead!

Although he was a little confused, he also behaved very naturally when he saw that Tanjuro and Grief Mingyu were both calm and calm.

"I see!" Kyojurou stood up suddenly, crossed his arms, smiled and nodded.

Smack.

Tomioka followed closely behind, lightly touching the ground and appearing expressionlessly.

He glanced at the tea pill on Tanjuro's shoulder in surprise.

Then, after his gaze lingered on the seat of the Yakuza for a while, Tomioka Yoshiyoshi looked strangely at Kyojuro beside him.

Tomioka asked in a low voice:

“… What is the current situation...? ”

Xing Shoulang turned his head very neatly, his thick red flame hair swayed, and he smiled cheerfully and showed his white teeth:

"I don't know!"

Swish! He gave a thumbs up:

"But it must be fine!"

Tomioka was stunned.

——？

Cold sweat slowly dripped from his forehead, and he felt that the eldest son of the purgatory family in front of him was compared to his father...

Slightly... It's too talkative.

Thinking, he withdrew his gaze.

Still, it feels pretty good.

Sensing that Tomioka Yoshiyoshi seemed to be in a light mood, Sorrowful Mingyu cast a puzzled "gaze".

Then.

In front of several people.

The seat of the nest, which was standing in place, suddenly trembled.

Creak!

The sound of flesh creaking came and went, which immediately attracted the attention of several people present.

Rustling...

The last trace of pink gas on the ground drifted away, and the tip of his nose fluttered, as if he was struggling to endure something, and the right half of his body quickly regenerated.

As the ground liquid dries up completely.

The stunned eyes of the Zodiac quickly cleared.

He blinked in a trance, froze in place.

Here it is... My station.

Raising his eyes, the pale moon was reflected in his eyes.

The blackened vision met the gaze of Tanjuro and the others one by one.

The vast white space just now, the huge cherry dragon, and the red sword that was in full view of the purpose, all disappeared in an instant.

Take a deep breath.

"I... Came out? He shook his head and whispered, his expression still a little confused:

"Just now... What the hell are they..."

Talking to himself, he unintentionally lowered his head and glanced at the right half of his body that was being regenerated from the ashes.

Pupils shrank suddenly.

- The vitality has indeed passed!

- What I saw just now is real!

That means that the knife...

Halfway through the thought of self-doubt, Uzuza suddenly remembered what he was going to do, and raised his head suddenly.

Glancing left and right, he finally locked on Tanjuro, and he subconsciously pulled out his stance, his fists clenched.

In his field of vision, Tanjuro's body quickly became transparent.

The so-called supreme realm, he has already stepped in!

[Destruction Killing: Luo Needle]!

Creak!

The muscles all over the body suddenly tensed!

Aware of the starting movement of the Woza.

"Don't think...!" The monk's clothes shook up, raised his strong arm, and subconsciously shook the meteor hammer and wide knife in his hand.

"Wait."

Tanjuro whispered, and he stood in front of Sorrowful Mingyu.

The still red wedge in his hand hung down the blade - he was ready to take the head of the Yakuza at any moment.

Turning his head and looking at Sorrowful Mingyu:

"Trust me."

Seeing this, Sorrowful Mingyu was silent for a moment, and slowly put down the Rilun knife in his hand.

Meanwhile.

"Can't be wrong!!" Tsunoza gritted his teeth, staring at Tanjuro as he shouted:

"Defeat that guy, the human who holds that sword!"

"That's you!"

Bang!!

The ground under his feet cracked violently, and he stomped on the ground hard, and the vigilance of his whole body was maximized.

Absolutely, yes!

In his eyes, Tanjuro's appearance was reflected very clearly.

This guy is what I just saw in the illusion world-

Defeat that behemoth human!

With a vitality far beyond that of a ghost, it can control such a terrifying ominous blade with ease!

In other words, what I guessed -

The guy who killed the first one of the winds must be him!

With that in mind.

The battle intent that had been abruptly suppressed just now rose again, although he couldn't fight such a creature in person.

But he can - choose stronger targets!

Clench your fists!

[Destruction Kill Style]!

Bang!!

As soon as he stepped out, his bare feet slammed into the dirt and stones of the street, and the beads on his ankles suddenly shook and rattled.

"Roaring ——!!"

His arms were outstretched, his upper body was slightly bent, and his muscles were clearly visible under the floating shirt.

The Blood Demon Technique erupted in full force, and hundreds of years of martial arts were poured into this moment!

Charge!

Boom ——!

An invisible force erupted from all over the body! Wrapped in the whole ghost of the nest, the energy that continues to rise rapidly brings a sudden wind! Spread in all directions!

The rising air currents even obscured the roaring appearance of the Zodiac Seat!

opposite side

Hearing the words of the Yakuza Nest, Tanjuro took Kyojuro and a few people, and jumped a few steps in a row.

He frowned, looking at the Zodiac with some confusion.

The sound of the nest reverberated in his ears.

That guy? Hold the knife?

Tanjuro jumped out of the range of the Yakuza charged attack, and he turned his head strangely, frowning uncontrollably.

Lowering his eyes, he looked at the envelope written by Zhu Shi in his hand as if he had confirmed it again.

[Varies from person to person]

He had just guessed that what he saw was most likely his own memories when he was a human.

In that case, the self-regaining will be in a state of self-loathing and regret, and attempting suicide.

But now.

Tanjuro looked at the Uzuma again, looking at the other party's appearance of bursting out with all his might, and he was even more puzzled.

He couldn't help but think in his heart.

- What did he see?

Swell!!

The dirt floor of the street floor was carried up by the sudden surge of air, and it floated in mid-air like a gravity-defying force.

Standing in the center of the airflow, his eyes white, the fangs of the demons sticking out menacingly.

Whoop——!!

Bang dang! Bang dang!

Further expanding air currents blew the wooden doors on both sides of the street, making a rotting sound.

"Stove door." Grief stepped on the edge of the eaves, his head turned to Tanjuro, the air rushing from the middle of the street blowing the ends of his hair.

The two lines of tears that flowed from his eyes were blown away by the sudden wind.

The voice of speech was weakened by the sound of the wind that wrapped around the pinna.

It was barely clear from the shape of his mouth that he seemed to be asking when to strike.

Tanjuro's gaze was also focused on the Uzuma in the middle of the street, and the flower earrings under his earlobes were constantly swaying by the air current.

Didn't wait for Tanjuro to respond.

on the streets.

"Hoa——!!"

He roared fiercely, he had already accumulated his strength at the moment, his feet were on the ground, and his whole body was infused with strength, ready to turn into an afterimage and rush forward.

Trample!

Just take a step!

The next moment!

Squeak——!

The soles of his feet stepped on the ground, twisted awkwardly, made a screeching sound, and forcibly stopped the forward trend.

"Poof! Ahem?! He choked in his throat.

The second step failed to take a step, and even stumbled in a strange posture.

He looked behind him in astonishment.

The body stagnated, and the sprinting action stopped.

Swell!

The huge air flow rising around him seemed to suddenly go silent, and disappeared in an instant.

The dirt and gravel floating in mid-air leaped abruptly.

Bang bang bang.

The gravel seemed to have lost its power to float in the air, and fell to the ground weakly.

On both sides of the street, the swaying doors gradually calmed down.

He stood in the middle of the street with his head turned back, his legs spread apart, and his expression froze.

Like a sculpture, it stood still.

Only a thin white mist remained, wrapping around the surface of the body and gradually drifting away.

"The ghost has stopped!"

Kyojurou opened his eyes that were squinted by the wind, raised the blade, and his fingers clenched the handle of the knife repeatedly, looking eager to try:

"Is now a good opportunity?"

"Be careful, it might be a trap." Tomioka stood beside him, his eyes lowered, ready to draw his sword at any time:

"Be vigilant, purgatory."

Side.

"This is..."Sorrowful Mingyu put down the hand covering his ears, and when he saw this, his vigilant mind was stunned, and his body in a defensive posture slowly stood up straight.

Perceived.

The murderous aura and fighting spirit in the body of the Zodiac almost disappeared in this instant.

It's as if a madman suddenly becomes a normal person with incomparably sanity.

"He gave up fighting..."

Why?

Grief Mingyu frowned.

Puzzled, he turned his head to Tanjuro.

Tanjuro observed the appearance of the Zodiac seat, and saw that the other party also had a surprised and confused expression.

The flower earrings swayed slightly.

He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's it, it's already okay."

Retracting his eyes, Tanjuro nodded at Sorrowful Mingyu:

"Let's go down."

Hear the words.

"Nan Wu..."The hand holding the chain of the meteor hammer hung down, and he silently recited the Buddha name in his heart:

"So... The purpose of this is to...? ”

Tanjuro didn't put the wedge pill back into the sheath, his gaze stayed on the body of the sustenance, and his tone was calm, but to the point:

"Rebel and wind up."

Grief Mingyu was stunned for a moment,

Formulate?

——？

In surprise, he turned his head completely, "looking" at Tanjuro's side face, as well as the other party's slightly raised angular muscles, stunned.

Didn't wait for him to react.

Tanjuro had already jumped off the roof in a hurry.

- Wait until the Zodiac self-harms and then goes down, it will be too late.

……

In the middle of the street.

He looked back at the illusory figure holding his hand in disbelief, and did not move for a while.

"Hah..."

The girl's white arms were hastily exposed beyond the pink kimono, and she held the arms of the Saiwoza tightly, as if she was afraid of losing them.

Relieved, she whispered to herself:

“… Great, finally caught. ”

Subconsciously trying to breathe, after reacting that she no longer had tuberculosis, the girl's face was slightly ruddy, and she slowly raised her head.

The pink eyes have white pupils like flowers, which are very beautiful and special.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.

In those eyes, which were reflected in the moonlight at the moment, he turned his head suspiciously, and his complexion was normal-

- Named "Koji", a boy in the appearance.

……

Pale moonlight poured down on the streets, which were littered with gravel and ruins.

He turned his head in a daze, and looked at the girl with her hair coiled behind her and wearing a silver snowflake hairpin.

“… Enough is enough. ”

She raised her head and spoke in a pleading tone, the tip of her nose a little sour.

After seeing the [sinner's tattoo] face, the girl could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.

In my memory, the tattoo that Mr. Koji was sentenced to for stealing medicinal herbs and fighting with him only existed on his arm, and there were only three lines.

Transformed into a ghost, no one can tattoo him with more tattoos representing sinners.

Now, the tattoos that spread all over the body...

It's telling.

- [I am a sinner].

Thinking of this, tears flowed down the girl's cheeks, and she pursed her lips:

"Please stop, Koji-san."

Flower-like pupils twitched:

"Already, no need to get stronger."

This sentence seemed to have magical power, and the moment the girl's somewhat timid voice fell.

The residual unwillingness and fighting spirit in the eyes of the Nest Seat.

Dissipate completely.

Bang!

A stone in my heart fell to the ground.

Countless questions followed.

Koji?

Who is Koji?

"You—" Yiwoza frowned in disbelief, just about to ask about the other party's identity.

But the words were choked on his lips, and he couldn't say anything.

He was stunned.

Why–

Why does he think that words like "who are you?" are hurtful words?

His brows furrowed tightly, and his golden eyes were bloodshot.

No—after all, how could he, as a ghost, have compassion for humans.

“… Let go! ”

He had just recovered from his daze, blinked vigorously, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his arm out of the girl's hand.

The girl's body seemed to be very weak, and she was pulled and staggered, but she still didn't let go.

Instead, he raised his head, stood on tiptoe with difficulty, and whispered:

"I, I'm Aixue."

She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, her face was a little sickly rosy, and her tone trembled and explained:

"Let's stop doing some bad things."

Breathed hard twice:

"Okay?"

Front.

Seeing that Lianxue seemed to be flushed due to the increase in body temperature, and he was sweating profusely.

In my mind, familiar scenes began to overlap countless times.

He was slightly stunned.

……

Then he quickly reacted.

Oops!

Hurriedly reached out and wiped the sweat on Lianxue's forehead first, and the expression of the nest became anxious.

If this continues, the condition will worsen!

He subconsciously turned his head and looked around.

- Towels and hot water in...

The moment his eyes touched the shattered rubble around him.

He came back to his senses, stunned.
