c218 Extra volume: – Kamado and Purgatory and Jiguo and Cat
…
“Meow, meow~”
In the dim alley, the faint sounds of some young cats could be heard.
Shang Quannai was wearing a bamboo hat. He was holding some food in his hand, crushing it with water and feeding it to a kitten in the alley.
When he was passing by this alley, he happened to see this skinny cat.
The continuous rainy weather made Shang Quannai upset, so he simply sat here and played with the cat for a while.
The kitten’s pupils are golden, and brown and black spots spread on its fur. It is currently licking Shang Quannai’s palm.
It seems to be showing thanks.
Shortly after.
Shang Quannai instantly disappeared in front of the confused kitten.
“Meow–”
The kitten’s confused cry echoed in the alley.
It sniffed something in the air carefully, then stretched out its limbs and climbed up the wall lightly.
He ran out in a certain direction.
…
…
The sky has been a bit dark in recent months, and it rains continuously.
At this moment, light rain was falling in the sky, and the cold breath blew slightly on the ground.
Sawushan Town.
On both sides of the street, people were still busy renovating the buildings in the light rain.
The impact of that decisive battle was devastating to the architecture of Sagiyama Town.
“Shrine guardians, magatama, flying snow…” There are still vendors carrying cloth bags selling items related to the shrine on the roadside.
There seems to be no shortage of supplies and customers for shrine-related things in Sagiyama Town.
Snap, snap.
Shang Quannai was walking on the streets of Sawushan Town, and he pulled the bamboo hat on his head with his hand.
“Gah!” Two crows stood on his shoulders, standing comfortably in the shadow of the bamboo hat.
It had been a while since he helped the couple.
Although he casually mentioned Saagiri Mountain in the end, the location where the couple appeared was very close to Edo Castle.
As for the distance between Edo Castle and Mt. Sagi, considering the weak constitution of the couple, it would probably take more than half a month to walk day and night.
Therefore, he just wanted to completely cut off the two of them.
But looking back now, maybe it would have been a better choice to just leave without saying anything.
Since then, he often walked on the battlefield or in the countryside as a doctor, helped many people, and also killed some ghosts.
Perhaps it was the accumulation of emotions, or perhaps it was for other reasons. When Shang Quannai saw the different expressions of the people being helped again and again, he was faintly touched.
The vision that once looked at everything gradually indifferently is melting.
The heart called “human” seemed to be beating slowly and heavily again.
So, he came this time.
——To ask Zhushi for a potion that can turn him into a human being.
Shang Quanna had this idea a long time ago and turned back into a human. Although he lost his strength and lifespan, he gained a feeling of comfort in return.
But what he didn’t expect was.
The mistake actually happened to me.
…
…
Reconstructed doctor’s hall.
In Zhushi’s room.
There is no usual darkness here, even though it is daytime outside and the doors and windows are sealed tightly.
But in the corner, a weak candle light source had been placed.
The dim candlelight illuminated the room, and the shadows of the two people were reflected on the wall, beating gently as the weak air flow passed by.
“…I’m sorry, I can’t provide you with the potion to turn you back into a human being…”
Zhu Shi looked at Shang Quan Nai with apology in her eyes. She lowered her eyes slightly, and her lavender eyes shrouded Bo Wu:
“No, rather, even after I gave you the potion to turn you back into a human… it didn’t work.”
Shangquan Nai sat opposite Zhu Shi. He frowned and tapped his fingers on the table on the tatami in front of him, choking for a while.
He really didn’t expect it.
I originally thought that this place in Zhushi would always be a fixed point. Whenever I reached the limit of my endurance, I could come here to seek relief from being ruined.
But I didn’t expect that after arriving, I would get such an answer.
–No effect?
Shang Quannai frowned, sighed, and thought carefully.
Then he asked puzzledly:
“…what is the reason?”
Hearing this, Zhu Shi sighed slowly, and his intertwined fingers tightened slightly.
She raised her head and looked at the other side of the newly renovated doctor’s hall, where there was a room.
The door to the room is locked, and there are faint traces of red enchantment on it:
“The green Higan flower needed to make that medicine is no longer available.” Zhu Shi said, her tone suddenly became heavy:
“But this is actually not the biggest problem. There are still a few samples of that drug.”
“The fundamental reason why you can’t use it is because this medicine has no effect on you at all.”
Zhu Shi and Shang Quan Nai looked at each other:
“Its effect on Wuxi is already minimal, and the test result of your blood sample left last time is that this medicine has no effect on you.”
“It can’t turn you back into a human, or even make you temporarily weaker like Muzan.”
“…It seems that there is something homologous to the cyan Higanhua in your blood, which prevents the medicine from exerting its original effect.”
“I have experimented many times, but in the end I can only come to such an uncertain conclusion.”
After saying that, the two of them were silent for a while.
Shang Quannai lowered his head, barely able to hear his breathing, and didn’t know what he was thinking.
In the end, Shang Quannai nodded heavily, with some regret on his expression, but not too much emotion. He tried to appear more relaxed:
“That’s it, I roughly understand.”
He stood up, opened the door and looked inside the doctor’s office. There were still some people waiting to get medicine.
Shang Quannai turned around and nodded to Zhu Shi:
“In this case, I will leave first.”
Zhu Shi looked at Shang Quan Nai’s appearance. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she choked and closed it again. Finally, she looked at Shang Quan Nai and nodded slowly:
“…Um.”
Under Zhu Shi’s gaze, Shang Quannai picked up the bamboo hat on the side, casually waved to the two crows standing on the table, and slowly left the doctor’s office.
…
Light rain fell in the sky, dripping on Shang Quannai’s bamboo hat.
The raindrops flowed across the surface of the painted hat smoothly without soaking it.
The moment he walked out of the doctor’s office, Shang Quannai looked up at the dim gray-blue sky, feeling that his heart became empty again.
“Huh——!” He let out a long breath, lowered his head, and thought about where to go next.
He stretched out his hand to pull the bamboo hat, turned around and prepared to leave.
But he suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of Sagiyama Shrine.
…How about going to see a sightseeing club?
At this time.
Tread, tread, tread.
Slight footsteps came from the front.
The footsteps paused slightly after approaching Shang Quannai, and then walked straight towards him again.
“Sir Shangquan, long time no see.” A somewhat familiar voice came from the side of the doctor’s office.
Shang Quanna turned his head and looked subconsciously.
The first thing that catches the eye is the red flame-like hair that attracts the most attention.
——It’s Purgatory Jinjuro.
With his red hair swaying slightly and a smile on his face, Jinjuro Purgatory held an oil umbrella and wore a rare gray-black kendo uniform.
Next to Purgatory Jinjuro stood a woman wearing a light pink kimono.
What caught Shang Quanna’s attention was that the woman next to Purgatory Jinjuro was smiling and gently stroking her swollen belly.
She is pregnant.
Shang Quanna tilted his head slightly. He seemed to remember who mentioned that Purgatory Jinjuro only joined the Demon Slayer Corps after he got married.
So…the woman next to him at this moment…
Seemingly sensing Shang Quanna’s doubts, Purgatory Jinjuro quickly held the umbrella for his wife with his other hand and extended his hand to introduce his wife:
“Lord Shangquan, this is my wife, Purgatory Chixiang.”
He reached out and placed his palm slightly on his wife’s shoulder.
Purgatory Chixiang has a pair of red pupils that are different from ordinary people. Although he is smiling, the vague temperament between his eyebrows reveals a feeling of being repulsive.
Then, Purgatory Jinjuro lowered his head again and whispered to his wife:
“That person over there is Lord Kamiizumi whom I often mention, the main force in the decisive battle.”
Purgatory Chixiang heard the words and nodded slightly to Shang Quannai. Due to her physical inconvenience, she could only express her respect in this way.
Upon seeing this, Purgatory Jinjuro quickly supported his wife.
But this slight movement revealed the bone knife carried by Purgatory Jinjuro’s waist.
Shang Quanna didn’t pay too much attention to Renshoulang’s wife. He looked at the bone knife on Inshoulang’s waist.
The blade of the bone knife seems to have been remodeled by the knife forging masters in the knife forging village.
At this moment, Purgatory Jinjuro’s sword is exactly the same flame-shaped sword that Takehara left behind when he turned into a star point.
Seeing the sword, Shang Quannai raised his head. He observed the passion that no longer appeared on Purgatory Jinshou Lang’s face, and said straightforwardly:
“How are you.”
Purgatory Jinjuro was slightly startled. He raised his head, as if he did not expect Shang Quanna to say such a thing. He smiled sheepishly, and then looked at his wife beside him:
“Ah…recently…”
“It’s not as hard as before. Occasionally, I can sleep well at night… and spend time with my family.” Purgatory Jinjuro looked at his wife, then slowly looked at Shangquan Nai, and gave his own answer:
“It should be… relatively happy.”
With his free hand from holding the umbrella, he quietly touched the sword at his waist, but his expression was no longer gloomy:
“After all, working hard to live a better life is what I should do now.”
Hearing this, Shang Quannai nodded slightly without saying much.
Although Purgatory Jinjuro has not completely recovered from the impact of the decisive battle, he already has the intention to let go.
Perhaps, after a while, he can completely break away from the sequelae of the struggle between ghosts and humans.
Purgatory Jinjuro gently put his hand on his wife’s shoulder and looked at Shang Quanna:
“I came back to Saagiri Mountain this time to let Miss Zhuyo check her body for Chi…the baby will be born soon.”
When Shang Quanna heard Purgatory Jinjuro’s words, he subconsciously glanced at Purgatory Chixiang’s abdomen with his transparent world.
It seems that the fetus is indeed about to be born, and it seems to be in the past few days.
He stretched out his hand to pull the bamboo hat and turned sideways:
“Then I won’t disturb you. There are quite a few people queuing up at the doctor’s office.”
After saying that, he was ready to leave.
But after a pause, Shang Quanna did not look back. He just said to Purgatory Jinjuro and the others behind him:
“I wish you happiness.”
The expression of Purgatory Jinjuro behind him became more and more surprised, and he even looked at his wife in disbelief.
Purgatory Chixiang also had some doubts in her eyes, and she asked:
“…Master Shangquan, it seems that he is not as strict as you said.”
Purgatory Jinshoulang watched Shang Quanna’s leaving figure for a long time, and it took a long time before he could hold back a sentence:
“…The choice to observe humans has a really great impact on this person.”
Yes, what he inadvertently revealed while chatting with Kanroji Sakuracake over tea, coupled with Naosen Nao’s actions in the past few months, almost all the members of the Demon Slayer Team knew what he was doing.
But is the truth really what Jinjuro Purgatory thinks?
…
…
The edge of Sagiyama Town.
Shang Quannai’s face turned a little blue.
Something is wrong.
Something is very wrong.
Why are so many guys holding babies in their arms lately?
The same goes for the couple that was saved before, as well as the Infernal Jinjuro just now.
I heard that Tanji’s child seems to be born soon.
In addition, he went to the Knife Forging Village a while ago and saw the boy from the Yuan family who was already able to run on the ground.
For a moment, everyone around seemed to have children!
Shang Quannai’s eyebrows twitched. He seemed to have foreseen the future of a group of naughty children in Sawu Mountain.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and finally, while walking unconsciously, he got further and further away from Mount Samagiri.
…
…
Shortly after.
The door of the doctor’s office.
Zhu Shi stood at the door of the rainy weather. Because of the dark clouds in the sky, there was not much sunlight outside at the moment.
After taking part of the cyan Higanhua, she could occasionally come out for air under such circumstances.
She looked worriedly towards the direction Shang Quannai left, feeling helpless in her heart.
Zhu Shi could tell that Shang Quan Nai had entered a certain state of confusion.
At this time.
“Meow–”
A very faint meow came from the side.
Zhu Shi turned around subconsciously.
“Miss Tamashi!” I saw Yushiro standing aside with a depressed look on his face. He was holding a brown and black kitten with golden pupils in his hand:
“Look, I met this cat on the road.”
“It follows me all the way and I can’t get rid of it!”
Yushirou seemed to be feeling sulky. He had never been very fond of animals like cats.
“Meow!” The kitten’s eyes were full of confusion. It had followed the smell all the way here.
But the rain washed away the remaining traces, and its tracking could only stop there. In the end, it had no choice but to follow Yushiro, who seemed to have the same scent.
Zhuyo looked at the confusion in the cat’s eyes. She stretched out her hand, took the cat from Yushirou’s hand, and gently smoothed the hair on the cat’s forehead that was splashed by the rain.
Yushiro was shocked when he saw Tamashi’s gentle movements, and regret rose in his heart.
——Oops, I shouldn’t have brought it back.
Zhu Shi hugged the cat and looked up at Yushiro:
“This child… is quite pitiful. Let him stay in the doctor’s office.”
Yushirou took half a step back, but after a stalemate for a while, he gritted his teeth, turned his head away, and said in a stiff tone:
“…Well, then, since Miss Zhushi said so…”
Zhuyo looked at Yushiro’s deadlocked expression and smiled gently.
…
Later, the two gave this very smart cat a name.
——Chacha Pills.
