MTL - Demon Slayer: The Beginning of the Game Opens the Way of Reward for Diligence-Chapter 7
Chapter 12 The Butterfly Sisters
Mako was dressed in a cherry-colored kimono with a black vest and a fox mask with flower spots on his head.
She looked very petite and cute, and a helpless smile appeared on her face.
This little junior brother seems to have been beaten by Qiantu all the time since he entered the school. She doesn't quite understand what happened between the two, but Qiantu seems to be very interested in him.
The rabbit pressed down Tomioka Yiyong's face with dead fish eyes, and then patted his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile, "Have you brought everything?"
"Um."
Mako nodded, the package contained a change of clothes, the kimono on his body was washed, and he changed it after taking a bath last night, in addition to some entanglements.
The smile on Yuantu's face calmed down. Facing this partner who had been with him since childhood, he still couldn't say anything sensational or comforting, but his eyes were very serious.
"Safe travels."
"Well, I will."
Mako nodded and watched the two leave with a smile.
On the other side of the hut, Rintaki has come out recently, still wearing the Tengu mask, and he is holding a sharp long knife in his hand.
"This sun-knife is specially used for your assessment. It can kill the evil spirits of Fuji Xishan. After passing the test, the Ghost Killing Team will provide materials for you to build your own sun-knife. Be careful along the way. "
"Um."
Mako took the long sword, a little surprised.
"I heard that Lin Jun has been studying with you recently, why haven't you seen him?"
"He will go with you."
"Um."
Mako nodded subconsciously, and then a dull look appeared on his face.
"what?"
Squeak.
On the other side of the thatched hut, the door of the firewood shed was opened, and a slightly thin figure appeared at the door.
A month ago, under that worn kimono was a little guy with a little baby fat.
Now, he is more than half a point taller than Mako.
His youthful face, the slightly rounded face has been reduced a little, with a kind of youthful fortitude, the skin is no longer as fair and delicate as it is after long-term exercise and exposure to the scorching sun, but it looks very Tight, with a sense of strength, and two long knives crossed together behind it.
He changed into light clothes, a tattered cloth shirt, with some pieces of cloth wrapped around his hands and waist, and he looked like those ronin who traveled the world.
"Lin Jun?"
Mako didn't recognize this person for the first time, and then he saw some familiarity in those smiling eyes.
Is this really the carefree Lin Jun who used to carry a vegetable basket and hum a song to deliver food to them along the way?
"Everything I can teach him has been taught. He is different from you. He didn't go to participate in the assessment. He has other tasks. You brothers and sisters have to take care of each other along the way, understand?"
other tasks?
Maki is a little unclear.
"I'm going to participate in an internal training of the Ghost Killing Team, Senior Sister, if I'm here, at least you don't have to go hungry, right?"
Lin Yu stepped closer and smiled slightly.
Mako twitched the corners of his mouth subconsciously.
internal training? What it is? Can't your master teach you?
With such a half-tall junior brother standing beside her, she subconsciously felt a sense of oppression and was a little uncomfortable.
She should have said, 'Then congratulations, Junior Brother, you have grown a lot in every sense. ' But I always feel a little weird, it's only been a month... Are boys growing up so outrageous?
Looking at Lin Yu's innocent and harmless smile, it seemed that he didn't know anything about what they were going to face this time.
Mako felt that his responsibility suddenly became heavier.
The younger brother is very simple and doesn't understand anything. Even if his body looks much stronger than before, his mind will definitely not grow so fast. He is still the one who would hum a song and deliver meals to them. The little Zhengtai said that they took care of each other, but in fact, as a senior sister at this time, she should take care of him.
"Master, don't worry, I will take good care of him."
"Safe travels."
Rintaki left only such a sentence for the first time, and then turned back and walked into the house.
…
in an unnamed town.
The sun is shining, and the pedestrians are in a hurry.
During the Taisho period, big cities had train tracks and western-style buildings, but remote villages and towns still followed a more retro scene.
Although the promulgation of the banning knife order has made the ronin causing trouble on the street a little less, it cannot be completely eliminated, but the atmosphere of the whole society has become a little sluggish.
After those guys with nothing to do lost their knives, they took up jobs like hooligans. There were merchants coming and going all over the street. In addition, those who had sticks in their hands and walked with a slap in the face. Those who are dragged are not good people. They have been in various societies for a long time, and the people are in chaos.
"elder sister!"
In front of a flower shop, a girl with long black hair smiled and put a wreath on her sister's head.
The little girl looked resentfully at her natural-looking older sister. Both of them were wearing black uniforms with Yuori with butterfly patterns on the outside.
Every time I go out with my sister, I have the feeling of an adult with a child. They are on a mission, why are they so relaxed.
"But, it's cute, isn't it? Shinobu."
Butterfly Chanahui's tone was very gentle, as if she didn't see the anger on her sister's face at all, she turned around, and the proprietress of the flower shop also clapped her hands together and smiled in admiration.
"That is to say, this lady, your sister is really cute."
"Where, you are too famous, but Xiao Ren is really cute."
Butterfly Chana Hui smiled more and more, nodded like a rattle, the proprietress saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and said casually.
"This wreath is only two hundred yen."
"Two hundred yen, right, here it is."
Butterfly Chanahui took out two hundred yen from her arms without hesitation, but was snatched by her sister who jumped up, took off the garland on her head, took her hand angrily and left the place, Leaving a stunned lady boss.
Butterfly Chanahui pouted and said: "Really, Xiao Ren, why are you so strange, buy one, it's rare to look so good."
"It's strange that you want to buy a wreath for 200 yen!"
"Ara? Is two hundred yen expensive?"
Butterfly held back and covered her forehead. It seemed that she had made the right choice to assume financial power.
"It's just a garland. Fifty yen is expensive. Who would be so stupid to buy it?"
…
"Sister, do you like this?"
"I like... no, I don't."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, it's too expensive..."
"It's okay, I'm lucky, I just picked up a lot of money, boss, two hundred yen, get me one."
Butterfly endured looking at the boys and girls not far away, and fell into a life of doubt.
Chapter 13 Contradiction
This face was beaten too fast, and for a while, Butterfly Forbearance was a little confused about whether there was a problem with his own values.
"Hey, those two kids..."
Butterfly Chanahui looked at the pair of boy and girl not far away with a little surprise. They were covered with aqua blue feather weave, which just covered the waist, but judging from the degree of bulging in that area If so, it should have a sword.
And... this kind of Haori, she had seen before.
"Like Xiao Ren, it's a child who is going to participate in the assessment. Let's go and say hello first."
Kanae thought for a moment, and then showed a very easy-going smile.
"Sister...Wait!"
Butterfly forbearance quickly grabbed her sister who wanted to say hello.
Really... When can I change this familiar character!
Butterfly Ninja looked around. There were more or less people doing nothing on the eaves of the whole street. This has been the case since the promulgation of the abolition of knives. A large number of samurai became unemployed and became ronin. This place is very messy.
…
Mako took the wreath with a very happy smile on his face.
She originally said that the consumption here is so high, and the money she brought may not be enough. Today, she might have to find a place to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the younger brother actually picked up the money again.
Junior Brother is really that kind of... After leaving the village, he is omnipotent. When he sleeps in the wilderness, he can hunt all kinds of prey.
Where did they go to take the exam along the way? It was like traveling, eating and drinking spicy food everywhere.
However, as more and more money was collected, the amount of money spent became larger and larger. At the beginning, Shinjo, who had a fluke mentality at the beginning, began to feel a little unacceptable, and his conscience seemed to be tortured.
"Lin Jun, although it's not a good thing to say this, but after all, it's money you picked up. If you can, you still have to find the owner and give it back to others. We can't use it secretly for ourselves in the future."
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "I see, senior sister."
The two stood at the door of the flower shop, but there were peeping eyes from the alley on the side, but they didn't seem to notice it at all. The two walked in front, and then a few gangsters came out.
This scene happened to be seen by the butterfly sisters not far away.
Butterfly sighed and said, "Those two guys are being targeted."
The current social atmosphere is like this. It is very chaotic. Even she and her sister often encounter such things when they go out. However, it is not that troublesome to solve.
Butterfly Chanahui looked worried and said, "Then we're going to help..."
Butterfly Ren had a helpless look on her face, she knew that her sister would not sit idly by in this situation.
But those two people were too light-hearted, were they really the ones who went to take the ghost hunter exam? You're being followed and you don't know?
…
The two found a hotel.
Before moving in, Lin Yu checked it out specially. This town is a little more prosperous than before, and the courtyards are all in the architectural style of a large family. There are various trees planted in the courtyard of the deep house.
Basically, such places are equipped with dojos, and they are like the legacy of a previous era, left by some stubborn and exquisite patriarchs.
Such a place is just enough for Mako to practice swordsmanship and keep her body in the best condition until the exam.
After the two checked in, Lin Yu stuffed all his luggage into the room, and then knocked on Mako's door.
"It looks like we're being followed."
As soon as the door opened, Mako had a serious look on his face.
Lin Yu nodded, then said with a smile, "I've seen it, but those people have already left, so don't worry."
Mako breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. She was actually thinking about how to solve it along the way. The swordsmanship she learned was used to deal with ghosts, not to conflict with people.
In case of a fight, facing ordinary people, she would not be able to do that.
"That's good."
"Senior sister, you can rest here first. I'll go out and see if I can find a suitable day laborer."
"Working?"
Zhen Kam showed a guilty look when she heard the words. She frowned at Lin Yu's eyes and said, "It seems that I didn't fulfill my sister's responsibilities along the way. I just let you take care of me."
Lin Yu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, you are someone who is going to take the ghost hunter exam. You can't waste your time on these chores. Besides, I'm used to it and don't find it troublesome."
Mako turned around, took out a piece of paper from the package, and put it in Lin Yu's palm.
