Chapter 202: Scared Butterfly Shinobu
The days that followed were relatively stable.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that there are no tasks assigned, but the tasks given to Wu Guang are more support tasks. For example, if a lower-rank demon is discovered somewhere, Wu Guang will rush over to provide support.
But there will also be missions for cases like the missing or disappeared ten people.
But... this kind of thing happens very rarely, and it only happens once every six months.
Although Wu Guang became more free, Kanae became busier in contrast.
As a newcomer to the Demon Slayer Corps, she can be said to be busy from morning to night.
Fortunately, Wu Guang focused on building a physical foundation when he first started teaching training.
But every time he came back he was covered in injuries.
This made Shinobu Kocho and Misae very sad.
Especially as a mother, I always feel bad when I see my eldest daughter coming back with injuries every time.
"Or... forget it, Hui, you should talk to the people above you. You should focus more on medical care now. Since you left, many patients in Butterfly House were treated by this girl Shinobu. You know, Shinobu doesn't like studying medicine and always makes mistakes." Meiya's tears were dripping as she spoke.
There is no mother who would not feel sad when seeing her children get hurt.
And Kanae smiled gently.
"But I still gained something from this mission, and it was a rare sample."
"Sample? What sample? Is it the task the lord gave you two years ago? The one that can remove traces of blood demon magic in the blood?" The one who spoke was Shinobu Kocho.
Although Shinobu rarely studies medicine, he has been practicing medicine for a long time and still knows a few things.
I suddenly remembered it now.
Kanae said with a sad face: "Unfortunately, as a price, the four monitoring members were sacrificed."
"..." Shinobu Kocho had a complicated expression and was struggling inside.
This year, she saw her sister's efforts and even felt distressed, and tried to persuade her.
But as she said before, although her sister has a weak personality, she is very stubborn and will definitely do what she says.
Now she has done it. Although she doesn't know the process, she thinks it must have been very thrilling.
She was a little scared.
I was afraid that once I got out, I would become like those four hidden members.
Wu Guang was out on a mission at the moment, so there were only three people in Butterfly House, mother and daughter.
Now, Shinobu Kocho has completed the preliminary learning of Changzhong. If nothing goes wrong, she will be able to take part in the trial in half a year.
But the closer she got, the more scared she became.
At first she felt that she could, and even felt that she should, slay the devil and avenge her father.
only...
Looking at the plaster on my sister's wrist and the deep scratches on her abdomen, something called fear grew in my heart.
She was...afraid.
During these years in the Butterfly House, she has seen too many injured Demon Slayer Corps members, but she has never taken it seriously, feeling that she is special and that if she were to go out on a mission, this would never happen.
He even looked down upon the injured Demon Slayers at one point.
Later, her sister became a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and this idea changed.
Because she knew her sister's ability, even such a sister could be injured, or even seriously injured and carried back by another one.
This gap was simply unacceptable to Shinobu Kocho.
At night, Shinobu Kocho sat in front of Kanae's bed, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
"Ninja? You seem to have a lot on your mind today."
Kanae, who was lying on the bed, knew her sister's temper very well. Now she suddenly became silent, obviously she was worried about something.
"Well...sister, do you think I can really become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps..." Shinobu Kocho spoke with difficulty.
Kanae looked at her sister's expression. It was the first time she saw her sister looking weak.
In the past, Shinobu Kocho was like a tomboy. She trained every day, helped out occasionally, and even dreamed of going out to slay demons on her own.
But today, she realized it.
Shinobu Kocho is actually still a girl.
Kanae reached out and held Shinobu Kocho's head in her arms.
"What? Are you scared?"
When Shinobu Kocho was embraced by her sister, she instinctively wanted to resist, but in the end she hugged her sister.
He buried his head in Kanae's arms.
"I don't know why... I always feel that one day I will lose you and mom. I'm so scared." Shinobu Kocho said softly in Kanae's arms.
The moonlight fell on Kanae's face, and her gentle and soft face was smiling.
"I'm also afraid of losing you and mom. In fact, if possible, I don't want you to join the Demon Slayer Corps. I want you to be an ordinary girl, get married, have children, and live a happy life. But you know, mom has rare blood and was killed by a demon... So we have to become stronger, stronger than anyone else."
Although Kanae spoke gently, the power in her tone was no less.
She has never forgotten what her father looked like. He was bitten by a ghost in order to protect them, and even in the end, he failed to protect them well. If Wu Guang had not appeared, her family might have died.
So she must become strong, whether it is to protect her family or to fulfill her responsibility as the eldest daughter, she must hold on.
Afraid? Isn't Kanae afraid too?
But so what?
Is it useful to be afraid?
"Um.."
Stroking Shinobu's short hair, Kanae's tense nerves relaxed a little.
Kanae pulled Shinobu to the bed, and the two sisters slept together for a rare occasion.
When Meiya got up at night to see if her daughter had a fever, she saw her daughters snuggling in a small bed.
A rare smile appeared on her face. She merged the beds nearby, lay down on them herself, and held her two daughters in her arms.
Sometimes warmth is just that simple, and home is just that simple.
That night, the mother and her two daughters slept peacefully.
……
the other side.
Wu Guang is carrying out a mission with Kyojuro.
It is said that it is a lower-ranking demon that kills and eats people in the downtown area, and has caused a bad influence.
"Don't ghosts rarely enter big towns?"
Wu Guang was puzzled.
Kyojuro was similarly confused.
After all, with Muzan's cautious character, he would not expose such an irrational existence as ghosts to the public.
It is also because of this that ghosts are always a legend rather than a fact.
"Maybe he really is a murderer."
Wu Guang nodded.
In this era, there are more and more murder and dismemberment cases, and the Demon Slayer Corps sometimes have to act as detectives and look for clues.
Finally it was handed over to an official organization to take over.
Fortunately, the Demon Slayer Corps still has some power. Although they have not cooperated with the government, the government will not refuse when they seek cooperation.
The two walked forward.
Wu Guang didn't care much about it. After all, with his physique, as long as a ghost appeared within a ten-mile radius of him, it would have malicious intentions towards him.
This is also the reason why he is fearless.
It's just that there are exceptions to the truth.
A man in a windbreaker walked out from the corner of the street. When he saw the two of them, he stared at Kyojuro intently.
"Hehehe, I found you!"
