Opening, a Star Cup

"Ibaraki Doji... I... seem to be a little afraid of those 'human beings'. I know it's unbelievable, but it seems to be the truth."

Shuten-douji's face suddenly became paler, and there was an unconcealable 'crazy' and 'weird' look in his pupils.

Shuten-douji's words seemed a bit incoherent, at the beginning he even forgot the mantra of "my lord", and later when he said the word "my lord", he didn't have that kind of domineering appearance.

"...friend...friend, what did you just say...can you say it again?" Ibaraki Doji asked in a low voice with his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he was afraid of waking up.

...Is this still his arrogant and domineering best friend? !

Ibaraki-douji thought that he must be hallucinating, so he looked at Shuten-douji with a strange expression, his body was stiff and motionless, and there was an ugly zombie-like smile on his face - he thought he was kind.

He looked at Shuten-douji, whose hair was as pale as snow, and who had the faint terror of an awakened monster.

The temperament has not changed, which proves that Shuten-douji's domineering heart still exists.Ibaraki Doji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...

but……

But

……

Seeing Ibaraki-douji's hesitant to speak, Shuten-douji grabbed his messy white hair with one hand, pulled it hard, and then took a deep breath.

He knew what Ibaraki Doji was thinking...

But he knew that his 'fear' was not because he was afraid of that man's strength, but because he hated to fight with that man, and he had a painful feeling of repulsion when fighting with such a swordsman.

What should I say!It's as if mages hate melee combat (Merlin laughed); archers hate fighting with those fighters in close quarters, and are more keen on shooting from a distance, easily taking the enemy's head thousands of miles away. (The archers of all dynasties laughed)

"Ibaraki Doji...you don't understand! It's an instinctive sense of fear in life! What's hateful is that I still can't get rid of this 'weak' side branded in my blood!"

Not knowing how to describe the word 'gene', Shuten could only explain his feelings in terms similar to 'blood'.

"...Phew! Although I feel powerless fighting that bastard Seimei, I still feel like I am fighting a 'human'! Fighting with these swordsmen feels like dancing on the tip of hell's knives."

Jiu Tun's eyes turned red suddenly, and his breath became extremely irritable, "I've had enough! Damn it, don't make me fight with that man anymore, that's a 'monster' that can cut nine directions with one knife!"

Ibaraki Doji was speechless for a while, "..."

This thick resentment like a shrew, what kind of tricks did Shuten-douji look so taboo and bitter.

Is it really that scary? ! ——Ibaraki Doji was sweating profusely, and didn't know how to respond to Shuten. In his eyes, he actually just saw nine special effect sword lights.

Although he was also very afraid of that man's strength, he didn't expect Shuten-douji to think so highly of him.

It is said that the other party beat Shuten-douji to the point of collapse?

Do not!It's not like that either!Shuten-douji in front of him looked a little weak except that he was a bit weak in energy and blood, but his spirit and will were still full of vitality.

It's like something...

Complaining about today's dish is not to your liking?

Peng!The chopsticks fell!Shuten's forehead is covered with # characters: Why are they all green peppers!Do you not want to live anymore!How dare you tease my uncle like this! (ghost gourd threatening face)

It can only be said that for Shuten-douji, who is used to fighting with monster power and that powerful body...

Almost got chopped up by the National People's Congress over and over again; it's still the kind of look that no matter how you explode, the other party will always look like, today I have to eat 'Shutun' noodles with a knife, and look like I'm going to rely on you.

... This kind of deep aggrieved feeling as if a punch has been punched in the cotton.

First cut a knife from the left, then cut a knife from the right, cut a knife horizontally, and cut a knife vertically; cook it, wait for dozens of minutes, this wine swallow is ready to eat.

... On that day, Shuten-douji finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the sharp blade (kitchen knife) of the swordsman (little master)!

Chapter 54 "They" are here!

"Then Kenshin-dono, that is to say... is my Master staying with that Miss Yamabuki Otome right now?" Sasaki Kojiro asked with a sigh.

"That's right, that's probably how it happened. Although you and I are not with them, there is no aura of other monsters on this island except for the monster brought by Shuten-douji just now."

"I didn't expect such a coincidence... If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid I'd have returned to the Hall of Valor."

On the road near the town, Himura Kenshin and Sasaki Kojiro chatted without saying a word.

"I've contacted the Master once before, and they should be resting in the small town ahead." Jian Xin said as he spoke, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Kojiro...do you smell something strange?"

When approaching the town, there was a faint fragrance in the air.

"This is—" Kojiro frowned.

"The atmosphere is filled with the smell of ethanol. This sweet scent... There is no doubt that this is something made from fruits and grains fermented by yeast." Kenshin said with a headache.

"That's alcohol. It's the smell of wine! Kojiro, be careful! I have a bad feeling!"

This scene at this moment made Jian Xin think of some bad things. After such a big change just now, how could there be 'people' brewing fine wine on the island.

It's probably not 'people' who can drink and celebrate at this time, but 'ghosts'!

"You mean... wine?" Kojiro's expression also changed.

Alcohol can paralyze people's brain nerves, affect the sword hero's accuracy when swinging his sword, and interfere with people's perception.

But Kojiro also has his own insights into wine tasting. Watching flowers and birds on the moon, drinking and having fun are also one of his elegant hobbies.

The town ahead is where the Master and Ms. Yamabuki settled down, but the smell of alcohol is obviously very abnormal, and this is not the right time to drink at all——"Little Master may be in danger..."
