Chapter 86 I agree to this marriage(1/2)
Contrary to the car that was dragging its feet in the morning, the Demon Slayer Anbu members responsible for the transportation moved very quickly and actually arrived at the headquarters several hours earlier than expected.
Of course, this was thanks to some guys who were blindfolded and their ears plugged and kept talking, which forced several Anbu members who were tortured to the point of dizziness to use breathing methods that they were not good at and would rather endure severe coughing.
Even with the sequelae of vomiting, I had to run as hard as I could.
So when Genichiro and Butterfly Ninja arrived at their destination, it would still be quite some time before the sun set - or in other words, Headless appeared.
As the black cloth in front of his eyes and the cotton in his ears were removed, Genichiro, who had been deprived of his senses for seven or eight hours, suddenly regained his sight and hearing.
He found himself standing in a wisteria waterfall surrounded by an unprecedentedly strong aroma, almost pungent.
This smell makes even people feel a little uncomfortable. You can imagine how ghosts feel.
But Genichiro's most obvious feeling is that the climate here is much warmer than in Tokyo.
[Has Demon Slayer been able to plant wisteria flowers in winter? Speaking of which, just looking at the color of the petals, they are indeed darker than ordinary wisteria flowers. 】
[The trees over there are probably not evergreen trees either.]
[And the temperature here, I don’t know how. It doesn’t feel like winter at all.]
Turning around, a huge and mysterious manor was located in front of him. Judging from the scale of the wall, the area was probably only larger than the Hirata family's.
Among them, the two towering observation towers that penetrate the wall are built in the same way as in the Warring States Period, which undoubtedly reveals the long history of the Demon Slayer Headquarters.
At that time, it was unimaginable how much manpower and material resources would be spent to build such a huge manor in the deep mountains surrounded by mountains.
Anyway, Ashina doesn't have that much money.
But it sounds a bit funny.
The shady Demon Tsuji Mukai lives in Tokyo, the most prosperous city in Japan, but the Demon Slayer Corps, which goes through life and death for ordinary people, is located in the inaccessible mountains, as if the two sides are completely reversed.
[No wonder the Ghost King and the Demon Slayer Squad have been searching for each other for hundreds of years, but they haven’t found each other’s location.]
However, before he could express his inner sigh, the Hidden Man who was responsible for carrying him suddenly fell backwards and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and his eyes were spinning like mosquito coils.
"Hey, what happened to him?"
Genichiro quickly helped the Anbu member up. He remembered that it had been less than half an hour since the last "relay". Although the march was a bit faster, it was a bit exaggerated to be so tired.
Could it be that he went to work while sick?
"It's probably a side effect of the breathing method. Just take a good rest."
After the inspection, Butterfly Ninja said with a strange expression: "Even if we want to grab time, there is no need to be in such a hurry. There are still two or three hours before dark."
She also thought that she could arrive before Headless came out to cause trouble, but she didn't expect that the hidden tribes worked so hard today, even using breathing techniques in order to hurry.
You must know that these people were selected as logistics workers in the first place because they could not bear the side effects of the breathing method.
However, the Anbu who was responsible for carrying her just smiled palely, then took a deep look at Genichiro and did not answer, but he would never forget that chattering mouth again.
He used the mildest water breathing method on the road, which had less side effects. Although it was uncomfortable, it would not cause him to die on the spot.
Fortunately, Genichiro's concentration had returned to the passing level at this time, he had regained control of his body, and had no intention of saying anything more.
Then, the Butterfly Ninja waved away several Demon Slayer members who came out to greet them.
"I know the rest of the way, so I'll take the guest in. You take good care of him and let him go when he's completely recovered. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Shinobu-sama."
Even though the Butterfly Ninja is short and small, he is quite majestic within the Demon Slayer Corps. The men in black immediately got out of the way, but each one of them looked at Genichiro with curious eyes. It was obvious that he had killed Shimo no 6.
As for the matter, someone else had already informed the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad using the crow this morning.
"I can't believe it. In less than a week, two Xixian fell into his hands... They obviously don't look very young."
"So, was he invited to join the Demon Slayer Corps?"
"Hey, eh, eh, no, no, no!"
"You look like you're only eleven or twelve years old. Are you going to become a pillar at such a young age?"
"That's amazing... Hey, Murata, why don't you say anything?"
Murata stood on the watchtower, motionless. After a long time, he said: "No, I just feel like I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I actually don't know each other..."
…
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I actually don't recognize you anymore."
The two of them had just passed by a martial arts field dedicated to practicing kendo when they heard Butterfly Kanae's soothing voice like the spring breeze.
"Little brother Genichiro, can you tell me how you managed to grow so much taller in less than three days?"
She was still wearing the familiar butterfly pattern feather fabric, covering her mouth gently, the smile on her face was warmer than the sun, "Children from ordinary families can't make such a huge leap in three years."
As she said that, she glanced at Butterfly Ninja pointedly, and the latter immediately shouted angrily: "Sister!"
How could you poke your sister's scar like this?
Speaking of which, the persimmon Kuro gave her when they left in the morning seemed to be effective after a nap...
Just wait! When I wake up tomorrow morning, I will also be able to grow a lot (but she was only 151 when she died)!
Butterfly thought unconvinced.
"Don't yell, Xiao Ren, my wife is here too."
As soon as Butterfly Kanae finished speaking, she saw a beautiful woman walking out of a field of wisteria flowers and winter cherry blossoms. Her hair and skin were all pure white, and she looked very much like the Snow Girl in the legend of monsters.
But unlike the disturbing pale whiteness of the people in the Fallen Valley, this whiteness is more like the snow on the trees on a sunny day in winter, without any scary feeling.
This woman is none other than the wife of the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad, Amane Shiki.
"Mrs. Tianyin." Butterfly Ninja immediately restrained his impudence in front of his sister and bowed politely and seriously.
"Xiao Ren, long time no see. You seem to be in a much better mood than last time."
After replying with a smile, Ubuya Shiki Amane turned his head in Genichiro's direction.
Her eyes were clear and ethereal, her pupils unfocused, and she seemed to be looking far behind Genichiro, but Genichiro had a feeling that all his thoughts could not escape from this person's eyes.
[Best, don’t deceive her...]
He vaguely felt this way.
Unlike Butterfly Kanae who has been practicing medicine all year round, she can tell whether the patient is lying.
Genichiro felt that if he lied in front of this woman, he would be exposed directly before even saying anything.
Then, Ubuya Shiki Amane suddenly moved his eyes to his left hand as if he felt something, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he immediately regained his composure.
In confusion, Genichiro immediately turned on his spiritual vision, only to find that the other person's eyes turned into two pale yellow flames in his field of vision.
The appearance is very similar to the purple flame of God's Flying Snow, but the color is different.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ashina to have eyes like that."
Ubuya Shiki Amane was a little surprised, but it was not difficult to hear from her words that she obviously had far more inspiration than ordinary people.
"If Kanae hadn't told me about your life experience, I would have thought that you were the bloodline of an elder in my family who was living abroad. It seems that Ashina is indeed a mysterious place."
The implication is that the priests of Ise Shrine should all have eyes that can see unusual things.
After saying this, she formally saluted Genichiro and said, "Sorry, I haven't even introduced myself yet, so I just said so much. It's really rude."
"I am Uyashiki Amane, and I am here to welcome the distinguished guests in place of my husband."
"My Lord, I originally wanted to come to greet you in person, but for some reason, you and Xiao Ren arrived here much earlier than expected."
Ubuyashiki Amane paused for a moment, "When I was notified by the tiger's eye that you have arrived at the headquarters, my lord just happened to answer the call from the cabinet. The opportunity is really not easy, so I really have no time to do it."
"Before I came, he asked me to apologize to you for not being able to greet him in person. It is really a pity. If I am rude, please forgive me."
"You are too polite, please just call me Genichiro."
Genichiro's expression was slightly condensed. He didn't expect that she was Ubuyashiki Amane, the most intelligent person in the entire "Old Hunter's Notebook", but she turned out to be so young.
"If you are willing to help us get rid of that headless monster, you are the benefactor of our Demon Slayer Squad. No matter how polite you are, you should do it."
Ubuyashiki Amane smiled slightly and bent slightly to make a "please" gesture.
"Please go inside to have some snacks and take a rest. Although I have been of little use in the Demon Slayer Corps, the problem with your left hand and the things I learned from home can just be of some help."
"Hey, is that so?"
Genichiro didn't expect to have such a surprise after arriving at the Demon Slayer Headquarters, and his expression immediately relaxed a lot.
Since the other party has an ability similar to spiritual vision, it is not surprising at all that he can see the problem with Ninja's prosthetic hand.
After all, there are hundreds of wild souls lurking in this left hand, and their threat level is probably much higher than that of the Twelve Ghost Moons.
But then, his face froze slightly.
Since Mrs. Amane can see the problem with Shinobi's prosthetic hand, does she really not know whether Headless is the condensed resentment of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps?
When the time comes, can the subordinate relationship between Wuzu and him really be hidden?
Just like that, Genichiro followed her with a slightly sullen face all the way to the residential area of the Ubuyashiki family. Along the way, many buildings collapsed. They must have been the work of the leaderless, which made him feel a little guilty in his heart.
Especially when the other party is still needed to help solve the hidden dangers of Ninja's prosthetic hand.
To be continued...
