Chapter 20 I'm Not Disliked (Favorites)
Under the sunshine, Aomori sat on the ground with Absolu and Bibi.
Tanjiro, who came running, breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Aomori, it's great that you're fine!"
He looked around and said in a low voice, "Where's the ghost king? Is he dead?"
Aomori shook his head and said, "He ran away."
After finishing speaking, he took out the earrings and handed them to Tanjiro: "Thank you, these two earrings have helped me a lot."
"Really? That's good." Tanjiro took it with both hands, and happily put it back on his ears.
This earring is a treasure inherited from the Zaomen family. Tanjiro struggled for a long time before agreeing to lend it to Aomori. It's great that he didn't lose it.
"Brother Aomori, you must be hungry too, why don't you come back to my house for a meal, the rice cooked by Nezuko is super delicious!" Tanjiro waved his hands and drew a big circle, and said proudly.
Aomori nodded, he hadn't eaten for nearly a day, he was indeed a little hungry.
"Wait a minute." Aomori walked to the depths of the woods, and soon came back with three pheasants and a big boar of the same height while Tanjiro was stunned.
They are all unlucky fellows who were affected by the aftermath of last night's battle.
"Extra meal."
"Oh, good." Tanjiro nodded blankly.
Not long after the two left, another person came here.
He has a stern face, and he wears a jacket with two halves of different patterns. The inside is black uniform-style clothes, and the sword on his waist is looming when he walks.
Came to the place where Aomori was sitting just now, he stood there and looked around, looking at the devastated scene around him, his breath was stagnant, he could already imagine what kind of battle happened here last night.
"What the **** is this..."
Squatting down slightly, he noticed a row of fresh footprints on the road, and holding the sword at his waist, he decided to pursue it.
Following the footprints, the grim boy came to the edge of the woods, and there was a wooden house in front of him.
Outside the wooden house, several children were playing with a big dog. Amidst the laughter and laughter, the vigilance of the stern boy was greatly lowered, and the hand holding the sword hilt could not help but let go.
Suddenly, his body froze, and when he looked up, a big bird was staring at him with eyes full of contempt.
Despise?
‘I was despised by a bird? ’ The grim young man shook his head, it should be an illusion, he has no reason to be hated.
At this time, a boy jumped out of the wooden house, and he shouted towards the woods: "Hey~ we found you, come out!"
Found? Is it the bird? The cold boy raised his head again, and the big bird combed its feathers without even looking at him.
He thought for a while, walked out of the woods, and nodded without any embarrassment.
"Come with me, Brother Aomori is waiting for you." Tanjiro smiled and waved at the stern boy.
Aomori? Is it the one who created that terrible battlefield? Now it looks like good rather than evil.
The stern boy nodded, and followed the silly-looking Tanjiro into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, the stern boy saw a young woman who was sitting by the bed and mending clothes, a cute girl who was coaxing a child while burning firewood, and a handsome young man who was skillfully handling chicken by the stove.
At this time, Aomori has gone to the countryside and changed into Tanjiro's father's old clothes, perfectly blending into this world without any sense of disobedience.
‘What a fast knife. ’ The pupils of the cold boy shrank, ‘It’s him? It's him! '
"Let's sit down first, brother Aomori is still busy, let's talk later when we have dinner together." The little host Tanjiro greeted.
"No, there's no need." The stern young man was a little stiff and subconsciously refused.
"A friend of Tanjiro? You're welcome, just treat it as your own home." Tanjiro's mother, Aoie, also said with a smile.
"Ah, um."
Tanjiro didn't take it seriously, poured a cup of hot water for the cold boy, patted his head and said, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Tanjiro, that's mom, that's Nezuko, the one on the back is Liutai, the rest That's Brother Aomori."
"Also," Tanjiro said, pointing to the outside, "the ones playing outside are Takeo, Shigeru, and Hanako, as well as Absolu and Bibitori. They are all very nice people."
Looking at Tanjiro's silly smile, the stern boy completely let go of his guard, and said softly, "Tomioka Yoshiyuki, my name."
"Hello. No, I'm going to help Brother Aomori." Tanjiro hurriedly went to help Aomori.
The stern boy Tomioka Yoshiyuki held the hot water in his hand, and his expression gradually softened under the mist, as if he remembered his previous life.
Aomori, who has lived alone for a long time, is still good at cooking. He cooked a big pot of chicken, which was delicious in color, fragrance, and Tanjiro's family praised it.
After eating a piece of chicken, Tomioka Yoshiyuki said "It's delicious" and joined the army of grabbing food.
After eating and drinking, Aomori brought Yoshiyuki Tomioka and Tanjiro to the edge of the woods and started talking.
"Well, can I listen too?" Tanjiro said that he was just an ordinary boy selling charcoal, so he didn't need to participate in such "mysterious" conversations.
Before Aomori mentioned Shimooka Yoshiyuki's identity a little bit, Tanjiro knew that he was a member of the legendary Demon Slayer Team.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at Aomori, he didn't want this silly-looking boy to be involved in a terrifying world with evil spirits.
"It's already involved." Aomori seemed to see what they were thinking, "The one who fought with me last night was the ancestor of ghosts, Kimai Tsuji. Although I defeated him, I couldn't completely solve him, and he escaped. If I No matter what, I will send ghosts back here to investigate.”
"Wait!" Tomioka Yoshiyuki became excited when he heard the name "Kimai Tsuji Mumi", interrupting Aomori's words: "What did you just say? Kiwu Tsuji Mumi? Is it Wumi? It's that **** Is it?! Yes, it must be it, that kind of evil and terrifying ghost aura, only it has."
"Where did it go?" He still wanted to grab Aomori's collar, but Aomori dodged it lightly and restrained him with his backhand.
"Calm down!" Tanjiro said hastily.
"What do you know!" Tomioka Yoshiyuki shouted hysterically, choked up and said, "Damn it! How could he escape! If I come back sooner, if I come back sooner..."
"Mr. Tomioka..." Seeing Yoshiyuki Tomioka's current appearance, Tanjiro understood what the name Wuyou represented.
‘If Brother Aomori wasn’t there, I might have become like him too. '
Tanjiro knelt down, held Tomioka Yoshiyuki's hands, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I can't understand your sadness. But if it's me who died, I definitely don't want my mother and Nezuko to be sad all day long. I think your family thinks the same way."
"Sister..." Yoshiyuki Tomioka calmed down.
Seeing that he was slowly no longer struggling, Aomori let go of his hand and said, "As the water column of the Ghost Slayer Squad, you are no less sensible than a teenager."
Tomioka Yoshiyuki raised his head and said with red eyes: "Do you know my identity?"
"Of course, I know more than you think."
"Who the **** are you?"
Aomori said with a serious face: "I am the light of righteousness and the bane of evil. I wander around the world and clean up the filth in the world. My name is Aomori, and I am a hero who happened to pass by."
Every time I play "Tomioka Yoshiyuki", I always think of another name in my heart, which is considered deep love.
