Sauichiro: rebuilding Ashina from the obliteration of the pillar

Chapter 73 You Are Not Big Anywhere
"Grab him and don't let him get away!"

Butterfly Shinobu hadn't woken up from the unprecedented emotion and astonishment when suddenly there was a loud noise in the alleyway not far behind Jiulang.

Unexpectedly, the center of the commotion was actually a group of policemen, about six or seven of them, running out of the alleyway.

Among them, three policemen were not wearing uniforms, and two of them were not fastened their belts. It was obvious that they had suddenly dispatched the police while they were resting. No wonder they looked distraught.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The police are on duty!"

They shouted loudly and waved their batons.

But the object they were chasing bounced back and forth on the porches and walls of the shops on both sides of the street with agility far beyond that of ordinary people, and was about to pass over the heads of the three of them.

Untrained ordinary people can only see that it is a black shadow.

But Die Die Ren could see clearly that the person being chased by the police was a thick-browed boy with short-to-medium hair and a blue jade hanging around his neck.

And every time he steps on the wall to move, there will be a fleeting thunder and lightning.

"Thunder Breath? Is it a team member?"

Die Die Ren subconsciously thought that the team members were being chased by the police while performing their missions.

But upon closer inspection, the boy wasn't wearing a team uniform, and even though he was holding a solar saber in his hand, it hadn't changed color.

This means that he is not the first owner of this knife.

After comprehensive analysis, she came up with the most likely answer.

"A newcomer undergoing training?"

Butterfly endured a sudden realization.

She once heard from her sister that there was a former Naruju who lost his calf during a mission, lived in the outskirts of Tokyo, and was serving as the only trainer for Breath of Thunder in the Ghost Slayer Squad.

Then the person in front of him should be the disciple of that senior.

Because I can't hold back my hatred for ghosts, and I'm obviously not even a regular team member, so I come out to kill ghosts with the sun wheel knife for practice.

In the end, because he was not good at learning and didn't know how to hide himself, he was discovered by the police.

However, just as Butterfly Shinobi was about to create an opportunity for him to escape smoothly, the young man who was jumping back and forth in mid-air suddenly looked at where she was.

To be precise, it was Kotaro standing behind Butterfly Ninja, whose sight was blocked by a pile of gift boxes.

"You are the one!"

The corner of the boy's mouth curled up in a despicable arc.

He was hooking on the eaves, his feet stayed on the wall for a short time, and then he exhaled violently, flying over Kotaro's head like an arrow from the string, but the knife in his hand took the opportunity to destroy all the packages in the latter's hand cut apart--

In an instant, all the exquisite clothes contained in those boxes were scattered and flew, Kotaro was also frightened by the sudden impact and sat down on the ground, and the boxes in his hand fell all over the ground!
"Ouch! Clothes! Clothes!"

Kotaro yelled loudly, panicked on his face, "The clothes are dirty!"

Someone nearby saw this opportunity, suddenly picked up a piece of clothing and ran out, Kotaro was dumbfounded.

And since there is the first person to eat crabs, the rest of the people have also fished in troubled waters——

After all, if you take a look at these clothes, you will know that the workmanship is extremely exquisite. If you take them out and resell them, they can be sold for at least dozens of yen.

And the young man who caused the chaos didn't even have the intention to look back, and rushed into another alley after a few breaths.

While the looters were scrambling to be the first to squeeze, they also knocked Jiulang to the ground, who hadn't reacted for a while.

Seeing this, Die Die could only give up the idea of ​​chasing up to the Leihu boy to ask for an explanation, and hurriedly kicked the few people blocking Jiulang to the ground, and then helped Jiulang to the side of the road.

But the police came here at this time, pushed through the crowd and chased in the direction where the boy disappeared, turning a blind eye to the looting in front of him.

The sheriff who was the leader became a little annoyed, and actually took out a pistol from the holster on his waist.

"Chasing! Chasing! Regardless of life or death, we must arrest that guy!"

He roared loudly, and then flew away with the rest of the policemen. They bumped into many things, and the store owner could only admit that he was unlucky.

Just kidding, it's holding a gun.

The looters also took the opportunity to scatter, and there were only a few panicked pedestrians standing on both sides of the street.

And there are only two or three pieces of clothes left, but they have been trampled and dirty.As for the five most precious sets of kimonos, they were snatched up without leaving any spare parts.

Finally, in the middle of the road there was a crying little Taro who didn't know what to do.

"Brother Jiulang, how are you doing?"

Butterfly worried that he might be stepped on in the crowd just now, and pulled him around to check carefully.

Fortunately, she didn't find any traces of footprints on Jiulang's body. Instead, the elbow of his jacket was scratched, which should have been caused when he fell.

But strangely, although the exposed skin of Kuro's elbow was full of dust, it didn't show even a little bit of bruise or scratch.

Some are out of line with common sense.

"It's great that you're not hurt!"

Butterfly couldn't bear to think so much, and let out a sigh of relief.

If Kuro was injured while going out with her, she wouldn't know how to explain to Genichiro.

Based on her sister's evaluation of Genichiro, and how she and Genichiro got along with each other for a day, if something happened to Kuro, it is estimated that everyone from the police to the clothes snatchers would be severely retaliated by that child.

Whether he can survive is the question.

As for the instigator who knows how to breathe, it is even more inseparable.

"Miss Shinobi, I will be fine."

Kuro's tone was quite firm.

Except for the two situations of voluntarily signing an undead contract with others and being attacked by the undead slash, he couldn't even bleed.

Any wounds would heal in an instant as if time had flowed backwards on him.

It's just a scratch on the ground, and it probably doesn't take even 0.1 seconds for the wound to appear and disappear.

Then, Kuro looked at the messy ground behind Butterfly Ninja, with a regretful expression, "It's just clothes for you and your sister..."

All ruined.

"Although it's not good to say that you bought the clothes, but those are not important anymore."

Die Die couldn't care less about clothes, and said worriedly.

"It's better to take you home as soon as possible, take off your clothes and check the surface of your body carefully, so as not to leave any hidden wounds."

"Take off, take off your clothes..."

Jiulang's usual quiet demeanor was no longer present, and his eyes became a little flustered. He quickly took two steps back, and jumped around lively, staying as long as he wanted.

"Look! Miss Shinobu! I feel very good, there is really no problem at all."

"Good good!"

Seeing his flushed face, Die Die couldn't help but smile, "Then let Xiao Taro be comforted first, and no one dares to pass by when he starts crying here."

Butterfly Ren just finished speaking, when two gunshots sounded suddenly in the distance, and all the passers-by who heard the sound couldn't help but tremble, not knowing what happened over there.

"Has that person been caught?" Jiulang asked suspiciously.

"I don't know."

Hearing the gunshot, Die Ren's face became serious, but she couldn't pass right now.

On the one hand, she hopes the police can teach that reserve a lesson.

But on the other hand, he was worried that the other party would be caught by the police and cause trouble for the lord.

But no matter what, since she knew the person's appearance and breathing style, she must report this matter to the lord after returning to the headquarters.

This act of causing public riots to buy time for himself to escape has seriously violated the discipline of the Ghost Killing Squad.

Even if this kind of person passed the test of Fuji Attack Mountain and became an official member, it would only damage the image of the entire Demon Slayer Team, so it was worth noting.

"The bullet has no eyes, let's go back quickly."

"Okay." Kuro agreed, this is also for the safety of Butterfly Shinobu and Kotaro.

After exhausting all his efforts to make Kotaro happy, before the three of them set foot on their way back, Jiulang asked her to wait for a while, and he ran into the clothing store just now.

Half a minute later, the proprietress, the proprietress, and a few other guys sent him out, nodding and bowing, which was much more grand than before.

"We must rush to work overnight, and deliver it to the Luminous Snack Shop before eight o'clock tomorrow morning. You will be satisfied."

"Then please everyone."

After Kuro said goodbye to them, he returned to the two of them.

Butterfly stared at Jiulang reluctantly, hesitating to speak, but in the end it became a few simple words: "Thank you, Jiulang."

She felt even more guilty when she thought that the one who almost injured Kuro just now was a reserve member of the Demon Slayer Squad.

"It should be me who wants to thank you."

Kuro said sincerely, "Since I came to Tokyo, it's the first time I've seen Elder Genichiro smile so naturally. I think he must have had a good time with you a few days ago."

"Ah. Speaking of which, this shouldn't have much to do with us."

Die Die Ren recalled: "Last night he was still the same as usual, with a very stiff smile. But after returning here this afternoon, his mood suddenly improved. I guess it's because he is about to see you. So, I'm afraid it's not To my credit."

"Is that right?"

Kuro was stunned, he didn't expect that he was so important to Genichiro.

Obviously "not long ago", the two were still enemies.

Therefore, since he was reborn, Kuro has been wary of Genichiro, fearing that he would be under a lot of pressure, and turned his head to play Long Yin's idea again.

After all, for Genichiro, he lived in front of that thing called "screen" for several years.

But for Kuro, from death to resurrection is just the difference between yesterday and today.

It is of course unrealistic for him to believe that a crazy careerist in his impression will change easily.

But hearing Butterfly Shinobu say this, the wariness he had erected for Genichiro began to melt slowly.

"Speaking of which, do you know what happened to Genichiro, why is he usually so gloomy?"

Speaking of Xianichiro's villain, Die Die suddenly started gossiping.

"I think that child must have had a hard time before. At such a young age, his sword skills are so powerful, and his mind is full of careful calculations. He always looks like he is planning something, and his smile is even faker than mine. It hurts."

"This... Brother Xianichiro, after all, has to consider planning for Weiming as a whole."

Speaking of these, Jiulang couldn't help showing shame, "Many burdens are all on his shoulders, and I often cause him trouble."

Trouble to the point of killing him.

"Wait, why is he carrying the burden alone?"

Butterfly endured and interrupted, "He clearly told me that you are Wei Ming's future heir."

Jiulang stopped in his footsteps, frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Miss Ren, did your brother say it himself?"

"That's right, just this afternoon, at the door of the dim sum shop, he said so—"

"'Kuro is Ashina's true heir'."

Butterfly repeated it again, "Xiao Taro heard it too."

Jiulang didn't ask Kotaro, but fell silent, not knowing what his brother meant by saying this.

It seemed that a huge responsibility was about to fall on his shoulders, but he couldn't avoid it.

Brother, what are you planning?

Butterfly couldn't help wondering why Jiulang was so quiet all of a sudden, so he had to chat with Kotaro about food and play.

It didn't take long for the group of three to walk to the dim sum shop.

But in front of the closed door, someone has already come one step ahead.

"Miss Fern Ji?"

When Kuro saw the noble and self-willed woman in kimono, he suddenly felt a pain in the face.

Sure enough, when he got closer and came to Yuji, the latter suddenly handed the things he was holding to the shivering Chrysanthemum Bikini behind him, then stretched out his left hand, and grabbed Jiulang's face with his slender fingers.

"Hey, you guys closed too early today, there is still a long time before the Chinese New Year."

Butterfly Ren was a little surprised by her rude way of greeting. She didn't expect this proud-looking woman to be so rude.

She remembered that this fern girl should be the geisha apprentice that Genichiro said.

The contrast with the geisha she imagined was too great.

"Miss Fern Ji, today is my brother's return from a trip, and he has to discuss the next plan with the people in the store, so we closed early."

Kuro has tried many times. This woman who claims to only play the piano and write haiku has incomparably strong hands, and there is no way to resist. He can only struggle twice symbolically.

If it wasn't for his special physique, his face would have turned purple a long time ago.

But fortunately, this time he had someone else by his side.

A slender hand stretched out from the side, holding Ji Ji's wrist as white as snow.

"Didn't you see Kuro suffering?"

Butterfly Shinobi was the one who did it. She stared at Fern Ji, with an inexplicable hostility in her heart.

However, at the next moment, this hostility suddenly turned into indescribable fear, and an unprecedented sense of crisis rushed into her body.

Butterfly Ninja's hand suddenly retracted as if it had been struck by electricity, and looked at the strange girl in horror.

She, who is she?

But for a while, the back of Butterfly Shinobi was covered with cold sweat, and even breathing became a little difficult.

Looking at Fern Ji again, her originally teasing expression also became gloomy, she tilted her head, raised her slender eyebrows which were already provocative, and her pair of yellow eyes were full of indifference.

She looked at Butterfly Shinobu's expression as if she saw some dirty garbage.

"Who is this yellow-haired girl? Why do you just reach out and touch other people's bodies?"

She saw Butterfly Ninja's disguise at a glance, and her tone was full of contempt, as if she could slap the little girl in front of her like a bug at any time.

"Miss Warahime, you can't say that about Miss Shinobu."

Kuro had also known this woman for two months, and the way he talked to her was quite straightforward.

She couldn't understand it because it was complicated.

"Miss Shinobu is a little older than you."

Fallen Princess plays an apprentice geisha who just turned 14.

And Butterfly Shinobi is three months away, and it will be her 15th birthday.

"Oh?"

Fern Ji was noncommittal, she raised her chest and took a step forward. Butterfly tried to back away in fear, but the former suddenly pinched her chin with her index finger and thumb.

"So fast……"

Butterfly Shinobu didn't see the opponent's movements clearly.

And Ji Ji, like a buyer of horses and livestock, pinched Butterfly Shinobi's chin condescendingly, turning her neck left and right.

"Even if she's wearing boy's clothes, she's still quite a beauty just by looking at her face, but it's a pity..."

Ji Ji suddenly smiled contemptuously, "Except for her age, she's not much older. It's really disappointing."

Her implication is that if Butterfly Ninja is used as food, she only wants to eat the face part.

But among all the creatures present, only Taro, the elder brother who lives behind her, can understand her meaning.

"Miss Fern Ji!"

Kuro raised his voice a bit, and moved to stand in front of Butterfly Ninja, forcing Fern Ji to let go of Butterfly Ninja's chin.

"Miss Shinobu is my brother's friend, please don't make things difficult for me."

"Oh hehehe, are you Genichiro's friend?"

Luo Ji covered her mouth and smiled, hiding the flash of light in her eyes, "Don't be so serious, I didn't say anything serious, it was just a joke."

As her expression changed, Die Die Ren suddenly felt all the pressure on her body disappear without a trace, as if everything that happened just now was an illusion.

But this made her even more vigilant.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with Miss Fern Ji coming so late?"

Seeing that Butterfly Shinobu's expression turned slightly better, Jiulang softened his tone, "If you want to chat, I'm afraid I don't have much time today, brother is still waiting for me to go back."

"No, I heard that Genichiro is back, and I just remembered an important thing."

Fern Ji took a folded belt from Kikubiki's hand.

The pattern on it is complicated and gorgeous, which is even better than Genichiro's "Bamboo Tori Monogatari", but the background color is more low-key, which is more suitable for men with a calm personality.

"The 'Tale of Bamboo Crawl' belt given to Genichiro last time was originally given to me by relatives in my hometown as a souvenir. It has some special meaning in it, which is very important to me. And this one in my hand, It was originally intended to be given to Genichiro, and the pattern on it is Takeda Xuanxin's "Fenglin Shanhuo", which must be more suitable for him in terms of temperament. It's just that the girl Kikuhiki has always been a little careless, so she made a mistake."

"Since Genichiro is busy, I won't go to see him in person. Then, can I ask Kuro to exchange this belt for his other?"

Fern Ji said with a smile.
