The man in the column is perished, and the beginning of the treatment is not miserable - Chapter 247
c247 Extra volume:——For whom is the finger tiger forged?
…
Knife Forging Village.
The village has changed a lot, and its area has more than doubled from two years ago.
With the joint help of Tie Qiao and Shang Quannai, the sword forgers in the village slowly used simple machines to help forge swords.
The efficiency is also much faster than before.
now.
Inside Jiguo’s mansion.
“Are you leaving?”
Ji Guoyuan followed Shang Quannai. He held Yudo’s hand and spoke to Shang Quannai.
“Yeah.” Shang Quanna shrugged his shoulders, and he motioned for Tsukikuni Yuan to look at the excited Kamado Sumire and the others:
“Those three children… are still a little worried.”
He turned back, reached out and patted Tsukikuni Enichi’s shoulder gently:
“And, I’ve been here for two years.”
“It’s been long enough, hasn’t it.”
“Yes.” Ji Guoyuan listened and nodded slowly.
Then, he lowered his eyes and said no more words.
Yuduo listened quietly to the conversation between the two. She looked at her husband. At this moment, Yuduo could clearly sense that there was no reluctance in Yuanyi’s heart.
Creaking…
But Udo could deeply feel the sadness emanating from Yuanyi.
She raised her eyes, looked at her husband worriedly, and clenched Yui’s maroon haori in her hands.
——Yuanyi… is sad.
At this moment, Yuan Yi felt a lot of compassion for Shang Quan Nai.
Yes, he felt compassion for Shang Quannai.
Once the fate of the country becomes clear, Shang Quanna will come back to this village sooner or later, and this separation will only be short-lived.
Because Shang Quannai is a ghost, he does not experience human birth, aging, illness and death.
Where he wants to go and what he wants to do all change at any time according to his inner thoughts.
As long as Shang Quanna wants, he can come back at any time.
So Yuanyi doesn’t feel any reluctance to give up.
But it’s also because Shang Quannai is a ghost.
The lifespan of ghosts is almost infinite. At least none of the currently known ghosts die of old age.
Yuanyi himself will not feel reluctant to part with this “friend”.
Because he knew that this “friend” could still come to his funeral and send a bouquet of flowers in front of his grave when he was old.
For himself, life is a happy one with no regrets.
But because of this, Yuanyi, who is also a “friend”, personally imagined Shang Quannai’s emotions when he witnessed his death.
Yuanyi thought.
For Shang Quannai, this may be an unpleasant thing.
Yuanyi also imagined that perhaps in the future, Shang Quannai would meet more people in the same way, and watch as he saw off more people.
The accumulation of that kind of emotion must have been difficult to suppress.
Yuanyi felt strong sadness and pity about this.
He also felt a little worried about the consequences of this accumulated emotion.
After all, Shang Quanna can also create ghosts.
Thinking.
Ji Guoyuan raised his head, with firm eyes, looked at Shang Quannai, who was staring blankly at the sky in the distance, and said:
“Nai.” He shouted softly.
“Huh?” Shang Quannai turned his head in confusion. He glanced at Jiguo Yuanyi and said, “What?”
Ji Guoyuan looked at Shang Quannai with a complicated look.
stare–
“…What’s wrong? What do you mean by that look in your eyes?” Shang Quannai frowned. He looked Jiguo Yuanyi up and down, and subconsciously took two steps back:
“If you have something to say, tell me quickly… don’t be so mysterious…”
After a moment of silence, Shang Quannai frowned tightly. When he saw that Jiguo Yuanyi still had no intention of speaking, his tone was strange and he asked tentatively:
“…want to fight?”
But this time.
Yuanyi’s voice finally came.
“Nai, promise me.”
Ji Guoyuan’s expression remained unchanged, and his tone and expression were always so straightforward and accessible:
“Before you forget about yourself.”
“Kill yourself.”
Shang Quannai was stunned for a moment, turned his head and took a deep breath.
He understood what Yuanyi meant.
In fact, Shang Quannai himself had already had this idea.
He had tried to turn back into a human and live out the rest of his normal life in peace.
But – Zhu Shi, who can forcefully pull someone to death, cannot turn himself into a human being.
Killing them completely will do nothing.
We can only look forward to a certain moment in the future.
Afterwards, Shang Quannai smiled softly:
“I thought you were going to say something.”
He turned his head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was solemnity hidden in his scarlet eyes:
“I will.”
“By then…it will be.”
“…Thank you.” Yuanyi said slowly with heavy eyes.
“But before that, I still have something to do.” Shang Quannai raised his head and looked at the sky.
He will spend the next period of time passing.
Do whatever he can to make amends for Ganlu Temple.
Kanroji Sakura Cake actually survived the 600 years as a shrine maiden.
It also stabilized the situation between the Demon Slayer Squad and the ghosts.
Without her, the Demon Slayer Squad after the Heian Era would probably have gaps.
Shang Quannai owes her too much.
As for how to make up for it…
The only thing Shang Quanna could think of was what Kanroji Sakuracake wanted.
It seems that I can only feel the same as before – when I am with my family.
“…Family company…” Shang Quannai squinted his eyes and looked at the blue sky in the distance. He murmured softly, his tone full of melancholy:
“What should I do…”
Next to Udo, seeing Shang Quanna’s melancholy expression, her eyes changed slightly, as if she noticed something.
Udo squinted his eyes.
Carefully and conscientiously activate your little emotional radar.
Buzz——
Suddenly, her eyes brightened!
I see!
then.
Da da da–
Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Enichi Jiguo, Udo walked up to Shang Quanna.
Pull.
He stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of Shang Quannai’s clothes.
Then, Udo raised his head and whispered to Shang Quanna:
“Mr. Shangquan, Mr. Shangquan, listen to me…”
Although Shang Quanna was a little confused, he glanced at Ji Guoyuan, then lowered his head slightly and listened to Yudo’s words.
Yuduo whispered:
“You want to be like this…then like this…and finally like this…”
“This and this…”
Shang Quannai frowned and was stunned for a while, then nodded quickly:
“Uh, oh, oh, uh…”
…
…
aside.
Sumire Kamado and the other three were discussing happily.
“Kimura, where is the mission location you just mentioned?” Kamado Sumire’s face was full of joy, and she asked Kimura.
“This mission is in Kii!” Kimura shouted excitedly, and he kept flipping through the booklet in which he recorded the map:
“Ki, the range is a bit large… Hokkaido, where is the precise place?” Kimura turned his head and looked at Hokkaido on his shoulder with expectant eyes.
Taro Beikai spread his wings and quacked twice, his tone a little intermittent:
“Gah! Karma! In…a certain town and street in Kii!”
“…Isn’t it the same as you didn’t say anything, Kitaka Taro!”
“Gah!” Beihai Taro turned his head.
“Alas.” Kimura sighed helplessly. He put his hands together, put away his notebook, and waved to his two companions:
“There is no other way. In that case, let’s set off first.”
“Well, that’s right! Staying here won’t help anything!”
Purgatory and Jujuro put on his Purgatory family’s haori and covered it with a white top. He loudly agreed:
“Let’s go! Let’s embark on our journey!”
Snapped!
“Ouch!” Purgatory and Shou Lang suddenly cried out in pain.
Sumire Kamado blushed in shame, and gave Purgatory and Jujuro a chestnut from behind:
“Idiot, keep your voice down, you’re still at Uncle Jiguo’s house now!”
“Okay, okay…” Kimura smiled and waved to greet the two of them.
At the same time, he also shouted in the direction of Shang Quannai:
“Mr. Kamiizumi! We are about to set off!”
As for Shang Quannai’s side.
He was half squatting, listening carefully to Yu Duo’s words, nodding his head:
“…I see…it can still be like this…”
But then, Shang Quannai raised another question:
“But, does Kanroji really want this…?”
Udo was full of confidence and patted Shang Quanna on the back:
“Don’t worry! Mr. Kamizumi!”
“Look, Mr. Kamizumi, those kids are calling you.”
Udo patted Shang Quanna on the back and pointed in the direction of Kamado Sumire and the others.
…
…
Shortly after.
Knife Forging Village.
This is where the swordsmiths store the raw materials for the Nichirin sword.
Tie Qiao was standing aside, looking at the other people in the ore pile.
Sumire Kamado had her hands on her hips and her mouth puffed out, looking dissatisfied:
“Hello – Mr. Kamizumi – are you okay yet -?”
Kamado Sumire followed behind Shang Quanna in a long voice, looking up helplessly.
Behind her, Kimura, Purgatory and Jujuro also followed.
“Give me a moment, this mission is in Kii, right.”
Shang Quannai’s back was turned to the three of them, and he was picking and choosing in front of a pile of orangutan-colored sand iron.
“That’s right -!” Purgatory and Shourou drawled in a long voice, but they were full of energy, as if they were speaking forcefully with their hands on their waists and abdomen.
Shang Quannai received a positive answer, he nodded, and finally with satisfaction he picked out a lump of ore that he liked from the orangutan’s iron pile:
“Well, I understand.”
Then he stood up.
Tie Qiao threw the ore in his hand to the side:
“Tie Qiao, please help me process this ore.”
Tie Qiao took the ore, weighed it, frowned slightly, looked at the ore hesitantly, and then looked up at Shang Quannai:
“this…”
——It’s too light.
Tie Qiao smiled bitterly:
“Mr. Kamizumi, this weight… I’m afraid it can’t even be processed… to forge a knife.”
Shang Quannai stretched out his index finger towards him and shook it slightly:
“No.”
“No need to make a knife.”
“I want you to… forge a pair of fingernails for me.”
“I’ll tell you the size, don’t worry.”
This time, it was Tie Qiao’s turn to be confused.
He was stunned for a while.
——A pair of finger tigers?
He lowered his head and looked up at the ore in his hand, pursed his lips, and looked a little hesitant.
Then he slowly asked:
“Mr. Kamiizumi…please ask…what is Zhihu…?”
This question.
Shang Quannai also fell silent.
…
…
After spending some time, Shang Quanna drew the image of Zhihu in his impression on the paper.
“Huh… Done.” Gently wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shang Quanna picked up the three-dimensional view of the finger tiger drawn in front of him, as well as its approximate size.
Looking at the finger tiger on the paper, Shang Quannai turned around.
He handed the manuscript to Tie Qiao.
Only then did he feel lucky.
——Fortunately, I applied for a design major in college in my last life.
Although such a long time has passed, the standard has declined by more than half.
But something as simple as finger pointing can still be done.
Tie Qiao took the manuscript, scanned it up and down, then nodded slightly and muttered:
“Ah…Is that so…a weapon that attacks with fists…”
Raising his head, Tie Qiao glanced at the noon time outside, and smiled at Shang Quannai:
“No problem, please Mr. Kamiizumi… pick it up in the afternoon, I’ll be there soon.”
“no problem.”
“Hey – can we leave in the afternoon -!”
…
…
at the same time.
Kii.
Inside the Iwakin Sword Dojo,
In a dark room.
Susu——
The friction sound of changing clothes kept coming, and there seemed to be a figure moving in the darkness.
Not long.
Creak…
The door to the room was pushed open, and Iwachichi Atsushi walked out of the room after changing out of his dirty clothes.
He adjusted his kendo uniform and tied hair, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he cheered himself up.
“Iwachichi Atsunya, come on!”
He shouted, his eyes full of determination.
This time, he must wait until Koji is no longer with Lianxue.
Then, go and invite her alone!
With this thought in his mind, Iwachika Atsushi walked out of the sword dojo under the gaze of a group of passing apprentices.
After the incident two years ago, the owner of the sword dojo, Hanbei Iwakin, no longer disciplined his son very much.
Iwakin Hanbei believes that this dojo needs a new heir.
As for Duzai, he was naturally given up.
…
Shortly after.
Outside the Suliu dojo.
Not far away, in the haystacks next to the paddy field.
rustle–
“Hey, this grass is really stinging…”
Iwachika Atsuzaya twisted his hands and feet and slowly stuffed himself into the haystack. He complained softly:
“…I wonder if the clothes on my body will be stained with grass clippings.”
Atsushi Iwachika only exposed two small holes on the surface of the haystack, facing the direction of the Soryu Dojo, for observation and breathing.
All he needs to do now is wait.
Iwachika Atsunya knew that every day, Komaji and Keizo would go out together at some time.
Go buy medicinal materials.
Once these two people left, there was basically no one who could be called a force in the Suliu Dojo!
so.
wait!
Atsuzaya Iwachika endured his temper and hid calmly in the haystack.
Time passes minute by minute.
The sun slowly sets, dusk draws the curtain, and the moon hangs in the sky.
Iwachika Atsuzaya was still patient and waiting.
Wait until the moon also sets and you can see the rising sun again in the east!
Creak…
not far away! The door of Suliu Dojo was slowly pushed open!
“!!” Atsushi Iwachika’s spirit suddenly cheered up after he had been exhausted all night. He stared at the door that was gradually opening with his bloodshot eyes wide open.
Hold your breath…
until.
“Master, don’t forget to get the medicine this time.”
“Ah, I know, I know, hahahaha…”
The figures of Komaji and Keizo slowly walked out of the Suryu Dojo.
Iwachika Atsunya stared at the backs of the two of them.
Wait until the two of them disappear at the end of the road.
It’s now!
Uh-huh!
Iwachika Atsunya’s expression became a little ferocious. He suddenly broke through the haystack and ran towards the Soryu Dojo!
