……

……

"What is this guy talking about?" Xiao Ba looked sideways, he stretched out his hand and pointed, his tone was cold.

"It looks like he's still in good spirits."

The faces of the three Immortal Chuan who were talking suddenly turned unkind, and they turned their heads to look at him.

Looked at.

The bald cultist was startled, and he hurriedly crawled back:

"It's true!"

The bald cultist's words fell, and the entire butterfly house suddenly became extremely quiet.

It seems that I didn't notice the frozen atmosphere.

The disciple supported his body with all his strength, and he looked at the few people in front of him with evasive eyes:

"So..."

The cultist's gaze swept over the few people present, and finally slowly stopped on the only few women.

He looked.

- Butterfly Shinobu and Kanzaki Aoi.

At first, he also wanted to sacrifice these young women to the Holy Ancestor.

Now just persuade these guys who don't seem to be smart, but have a lot of strength, to do what they say.

And if your plan succeeds...

The skinhead's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope of escape.

When they arrived at the headquarters of the Bliss Sect, these guys were not allowed to be slaughtered by the Sect Ancestor at will.

Having seen Tong Mo have some strength, he already thinks that he is superior in his heart.

Just as he was looking at Butterfly Shinobi, he just spoke:

"There are only a few women here..."

Swish!

The white afterimage brings a gust of wind.

"Ha ——?!"

Immortal Minoru took a sharp step, and he suddenly appeared in the view of the skinhead cultist, and his scarred and vicious face approached.

His staring eyes obscured everything in the cultist's field of vision, and he crouched:

“… What are you thinking bastard. ”

Syllable!

He stretched out his hand and pinched the sectist's bald head hard, and the green tendons burst out on his face:

"Do you want to die?"

"Ahh I...! The skinhead was suddenly startled by the sudden approach, his face turned pale, and the hope that had just risen was directly extinguished:

"Yes... I'm sorry...! ”

The voice and body trembled involuntarily.

Smack!

“… Don't have bad ideas. ”

"Something like a head could have been cut off casually." Immortal Minoru squatted in front of him, slapped him lightly twice, and deliberately lowered his voice:

"Do you understand?"

"Hmmm! Well! The skinhead trembled like a sieve in fright, and quickly nodded, his pale face covered with cold sweat.

"Humph!" Seeing that the bald cultist was frightened like this, Immortal Chuan glared at him viciously, and then slowly stood up, and his voice was amplified:

"Only female believers...?"

Swish!

Immortal Chuan turned his head and looked around.

Then he stretched out his hand sharply, pointed his thumb to himself, and said in a fierce tone, staring at the paralyzed disciple:

"Lao Tzu can do it too!"

Hear the words.

——？！

Not only Aoi Kanzaki, but even Bane on the side turned around in surprise.

？

The bald cultist, who had just crawled back in fright, froze for a moment, and he glanced at the Immortal River hesitantly.

Blinking his eyes, doubts rose in his heart.

- Okay... What does it mean?

……

……

Outside the butterfly house, near the fence.

"Hum Hum Hum ~"

Essence Tengen is very happy today.

After the Great War of Hanakai, he got quite a bit of inspiration and tried to restore Tanjuro's [ninjutsu] himself.

Although they all ended in failure, they still gained a lot of gorgeous experience that they had never experienced before.

He thinks he's discovered a gorgeous New World.

"The stove door family, who lives in the butterfly house and helps take care of the things up and down the butterfly house."

Ummy Tengen hummed a tune in his mouth as he walked as if he were normal.

Syllable!

Hold it in one hand, and the book that is compared to the size of the pocket because of the size of the book, and put it into the waist:

"That's what it says in the hidden pamphlet."

That's right.

Umiji Tengen came this time, taking advantage of the gap that he had no task, and specially came to explore the details of [ninjutsu] from Tanjuro.

After all, he couldn't directly reproduce all the moves of an unheard of ninja genre on his own.

He looked at the fence on the side of the road.

Trample!

With a twist of his body, he climbed over the wall with capable movements, supported it with one hand, and squatted on the wall.

With his palm between his eyebrows, Yu Marrow Tianyuan squinted his eyes, squatted on the wall of the butterfly house, and looked towards the courtyard:

"I'll see..."

But his gaze swept from left to right, and back again—there was no trace of Tanjuro.

I couldn't even see anyone else in the house.

Frowning, he turned his head in desperation.

"Hey——! The hidden over there. ”

Yu Marrow Tianyuan shouted, he reached out and waved twice, until the hidden man who was cleaning near the wall noticed himself:

"Tanjuro Kamado, are you in Butterfly House now?"

"Ah, Lord Otozu." The hidden team member heard Yu Mi's voice, he held the broom, stopped the movement in his hand, and shook his head silently:

"Unfortunately, Mr. Kamado looks like he's on a mission."

"It's not in the Butterfly House."

Hear the words.

"What?"

Yu Marrow Tianyuan was stunned: "Not there?" ”

He crouched against the wall, froze for a moment.

Just when he felt sorry for the time he wasted on his journey.

Suddenly.

"Hey!!"

Rough shouts came from the other side of the courtyard.

Yu Marrow Tianyuan subconsciously turned his head in the direction of the voice.

Minoru Immortal was standing under the tree, his arms raised high, as if shouting to himself:

"Essence ——!! You're here just in time!! ”

"Come here!"

Shouting, Immortal Chuan turned his head slightly, and raised his chin at Iguro Xiaobane behind him.

fence wall.

Yu Marrow Tianyuan glanced at the Immortal River expressionlessly.

His mood did not fluctuate, he withdrew his eyes, and did not care.

Raise your hand with colorful nail polish and press it slightly against your chin, thinking:

"Well, since Tanjuro isn't here, then I have no reason to stay."

muttering to himself, then he turned around and climbed down the wall and left here:

"I can't waste my time here without being glamorous."

……

Not far away.

Under the tree.

"That guy... Let's go? ”

Immortal Minoru maintained the movement of waving his hand, his expression stiffened, and looked at the back of Essence Tengen jumping away from the wall.

Freeze in place.

Side.

Butterfly Shinobu glanced at Immortal Chuan's back, and she slowly withdrew her gaze.

It seems that Mr. Tomioka did not have no influence on the other pillars at all.

When she was thinking about it.

Stomp Tread!!

"That bastard!"

Immortal Minoru Kawa had already blackened his face and rushed out from the main entrance of the butterfly house in the direction where Essence Tengen had left.

……

……

Soon.

The left Ōmō Tengen was forcefully dragged back by the Immortal River.

in the courtyard.

Several people gathered in a circle and explained everything to Yu Marrow in detail.

After listening to everyone's explanations.

“… A winding ghost who only eats women, I see. Yu Essence Tianyuan nodded suddenly in understanding:

"So, I want you to dress up as ordinary female believers so that I can sneak into the location of Shangyu..."

"That's right." Xiao Bane stretched out his hand and pointed at Yu Ji: "You will wear some bells and whistles on your face every day, this kind of thing is perfect for you to do." ”

Hear the words.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Why is it so unpleasant to say such words with a clear meaning of praise coming out of this guy's mouth?

Thinking to himself, his eyes swept over the butterfly shinobi in front of him.

And - does this really need him to dress up?

Uchidon Tianyuan spread his hands indifferently, and looked left and right at Butterfly Shinobu and Kanzaki Aoi:

"Okay, who to start with?"

Then.

Trample.

Dressed in white feathered weaving, the immortal river fought out from the side, and he pulled the wooden-faced Iguro Kobane.

"Me!" Immortal Minoru stood in front of Uchio Tengen, and he was shouting.

Hear the words.

——？

"You?" Essence Tianyuan's eyes slowly moved from Butterfly Shinobi to Immortal River.

His eyes subconsciously looked up and down at the Immortal River.

Then.

The corners of the mouth can't be suppressed:

"Haha..."As if he had heard some big joke, Yu Essence Tianyuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the Immortal River, and laughed mercilessly:

"Hahahaha!!"

Creak...

Immortal Minoru Kawa's face was gloomy, the blue tendons on his forehead bulged, and a tic-tac-toe protruded, and he clenched his fists hard.

"It's noisy! What are you laughing at!? ”

The commotion echoed through the courtyard, and the crows in the treetops lowered their heads to comb their feathers.

……

On the other side of the courtyard.

"Everybody's happy."

My wife Shanyi shook her fluffy blonde hair, and passed by with a decadent face, and he looked enviously in the direction of the pillars, and sighed worriedly:

“… That's great. ”

Goo –

The weak voice was quickly drowned out by the wail of the stomach.

"Damn!"

Shanyi covered his stomach with a sad face, and tears flowed out of his eyes.

"The bastard who stole my breakfast, lunch, and dinner..."

He gritted his teeth, pursed his upper lip tightly, clenched his fists, and thunder and lightning faintly crossed his tear-glittering eyes:

"Don't let me catch you!"

"I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Behind Shanyi.

In the bushes in the distance.

"Hey, hahaha!"

Inosuke, who took off his pig's head cover, faced the meal for two people in front of him, and grabbed it with his hands.

……

……

After laughing.

"No, are you serious?"

Yu Marrow Tianyuan's expression suddenly became extremely serious, he tilted his head, and looked at the immortal river who was a cut short of himself with the eyes of a fool:

"Understood."

"The first of the windings is a very serious task."

"Of course I do!"

Immortal Chuan's head was full of anger, he clenched his fists and raised and waved:

"You're the only one who hasn't been serious!"

Looked at.

Yu Marrow Tianyuan glanced at the dodging eyes of the people around him.

He didn't say much.

Swish!

I don't know where to take out a few brush-like things, sandwich them between my five fingers, and pose with extremely gorgeous movements and expressions:

"Come on, then."

……

……

Soon.

in the courtyard.

White hatori was thrown on the ground.

Everyone surrounded Yu Marrow, who was dressing up the Immortal River, and couldn't take their eyes off it.

“… All right. ”

Yu Marrow Tianyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, he slowly straightened up, and looked at the whole picture of the Immortal River in front of him.

- The hedgehog's head can't be combed with gray hair, so he can only be tied together with a few hairpins he received from Butterfly Shinobi.

The vertical and horizontal scars on his face can't be covered at all, and he still looks fierce.

The loose and ill-fitting pink kimono is casually put on, and all the muscles that are exposed are strong muscles that can be seen at a glance.

"That's fine?" Immortal Chuan raised his arm curiously and observed the outfit on his body: "It's not bad." ”

Umi Tengen fell silent.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But looking at the other party's confident appearance, he hesitated for a moment.

Eventually, he slowly closed his mouth stiffly.

His dark red eyes looked to the side.

- No, I can't.

- It's not that my own technology is not good, but ...

- Immortal Chuan, this guy, absolutely not.

Almost everyone present, at this moment, the same thought as Yu Marrow Tianyuan flashed in their minds.

Just when everyone fell into dead silence.

"That's..."

With a dull expression, the bald man sitting under the tree suddenly moved his eyes.

His gaze was loose, and he slowly looked behind Immortal Chuan, not far away.

The skinhead sat up straight, he stretched out his hand and pointed in that direction, and hurriedly shouted to several people:

"Hey! That guy can! ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and immediately looked in the direction pointed by the disciples.

Not far away.

"Bastard!! It's you boar stealing my stuff!! ”

The yellow-haired wife Zenyi is full of grief and indignation, and he pulls and fights with Inosuke.

"Huh?!" Inosuke looked disdainful, and he shouted: "That's Uncle Ben's prey!" Don't yell at you, you weaklings who can't take care of your prey!! ”

"What did you say?!" When my wife Shanyi heard this, her eyes immediately split, and her hands were open as if she could spit out fire.

Syllable! Sound!

There was a faint electric light on his arm, and the yellow sleeves floated up against gravity.

My wife, Shanyi, swung her arm forward.

Swell!

"Poof!" Inosuke was caught off guard and was hit by a solid boar hood, and the whole person staggered backwards.

The blow from the bottom up made Inosuke's hood fly high all of a sudden.

Smack.

The boar's head arced gracefully in mid-air, and finally landed perfectly on the grass.

“… Damn it! Inosuke's voice was rough, he covered his head, shook his head, and barely stood on his feet:

"You guy..."

The sequelae of being hammered by Tanjiro a few days ago are still there.

Losing the boar's hood, Inosuke shows his face for the first time in the butterfly house.

In the clear sunlight, Inosuke's black eyelashes fluttered slightly from the pain.

I opened my eyes with difficulty, and there was light flowing under my green eyes.

The facial features are three-dimensional, and the beautiful face is extremely ruddy.

And in front.

"You...!"

My wife, Zenyi, stiffened in place as she waved her arms, his eyes fixed on Inosuke's face.

Blinking his eyes, his cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He slowly withdrew his beaten hand, covering his mouth in disbelief, and his tone was already apologetic:

“… It's a girl, isn't it? ”

Hear the words.

"-What?!"

Inosuke's beautiful face suddenly became hideous, and he raised his fist angrily, shouting that he was about to hit Shanyi:

"Uncle Ben is a real male!!"

That's when it happened.

Squeak –

The main entrance of the butterfly house was suddenly pushed open.

Tanjuro, who finally returned to the butterfly house from the Tomioka Yoshiyu station, smiled and waved goodbye to Kyojuro.

Turning around, he stepped into the butterfly house with a smile.

His eyes subconsciously looked towards the courtyard that was suddenly silent.

- Minoru Immortal Kawa with a bow on her head and a pink kimono.

His gaze shifted slightly.

- Iguro Bane, who is holding a makeup stick and has half applied makeup.

- Umiji Tengen, who is preparing to capture Inosuke.

Tanjuro fell silent.

He took two steps back and closed the door to the butterfly house.
