Traveling with Indra

The kitchen of the Butterfly House was busy, with smoke rising from the cooking. Rengoku Kyojuro was eating plate after plate of food, constantly shouting "delicious, delicious". And across from him, three tables away, Mingluo, with a bandage on her shoulder, was eating slowly. There were only five tables in the dining hall, so it was obvious that Mingluo deliberately stayed further away.

When Rengoku Kyojuro finished the last plate and saw Mingluo carrying the plate to the kitchen, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you hate me so much?"

He was sitting opposite Mingluo just now, but the girl quickly stood up and changed seats. This was the first time he was disliked by someone. Could it be that he was attacked during the rescue and the girl was disillusioned?

"You're speaking too loudly. It hurts my ears." Ming Luo answered slowly, in stark contrast to his positive attitude.

"Ah~ sorry, hahahaha! I'm really sorry for causing you trouble this time."

After Rengoku Kyojuro woke up, he learned that the Lower Rank One was defeated, and he heard that it was his own doing. But he fell asleep halfway through the battle, which must have caused a lot of trouble for others. Moreover, the little girl sent back the information she got, but he didn't see it, wasting his heart, and was directly tricked.

"Can I ask another question?"

"Master Flame Pillar, please speak." Could you please speak a little more quietly?

"How did you escape from the dream?" Rengoku Kyojuro had experienced dreams before, so he was curious about how she woke up on her own. She faced the Lower Moon alone, so what kind of dangerous things happened?

"People who are confused by dreams are those who believe in 'what if'. If the important people were still alive, if all the misfortunes had not happened..." Ming Luo's dark eyes were extremely dark, and adults had long given up on fantasies. Those childhood dreams had been shattered countless times. "No need for him to confuse me, I have thought about it many times before, and I knew it was fake at first glance. The lost people will never come back, and those who come back... are either monsters or evil spirits."

"...I'm sorry." Rengoku Kyojuro opened his mouth and felt that he had said something wrong.

This means that you have been disappointed so many times that you no longer think that what you see is real. You have accepted your misfortune from the bottom of your heart. What a despairing statement.

"Thanks for hearing my cry for help, otherwise I wouldn't have won." Her attack power is still very poor and she needs a lot of training to make up for it.

"No, no, no, you did a great job. You saved all the passengers and got the intelligence. It was amazing."

"So, can I get a raise?" Please reward me with money.

"...Uh! It should be fine." Rengoku Kyojuro blinked, gave a thumbs up and smiled.

What a strong little girl!

It's just that he has a strong smell of a corporate slave all over his body.

Ming Luo, whose shoulder was dislocated, rested in the Butterfly House for a few days. During this time, she also received guidance from Rengoku Kyojuro, or more accurately, she was tested with a knife. She developed new moves to see how to attack against super-fast enemies. In addition to using throwing knives, she reduced the number of spikes, added chains and shields, and a full metal chainsaw without an electric device.

"Thank you so much for your help." Ming Luo thanked the swordsmith softly. Because of the diversity of weapons she needed and the lack of accurate combat methods, they had to go back and forth to make weapons for her.

"It's nothing. You just joined the Demon Slayer Corps, and you've killed several evil demons with these weapons. We are deeply honored." The masked swordsmith waved his hands quickly. They were extremely happy.

Mingluo's ideas and needs opened up the worldview of the swordsmith. This swordsmith's needs are different from those of Tianyuan, and he has more diversity and operability, which is a good reference.

The daily routine of a ghost hunter is to hunt ghosts, train, and recover from injuries. Mingluo was very satisfied that Rengoku Kyojuro survived because of her intrusion. But she didn't expect to run into this mess, and... she experienced another fall.

It was the season when maple leaves were half red. Ming Luo was recuperating here again because of a fall. Her recovery speed was very good, but she wanted to slack off occasionally. Using the shield to "fly with the sword" made it particularly easy to fall during the battle.

As for why it is so serious this time?

That's because of Upper Rank Three's fault.

Just two days ago, she and Shinobu Kocho went on a mission together. On the way, they met Rengoku Kyojuro's crows. When they learned that the other party was fighting with Upper Rank 3, they went straight over.

Ming Luo was even faster. She flew with her shield and sword, and with a wave of her hand, a formation of golden flying knives rushed forward.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The fist of destruction hit the golden light, and the huge collision sound was very harsh. But Upper Rank 3 raised his head and saw the person in the air, and did not swing his fist. The flying long hair and petite figure were obviously a woman.

Ming Luo, who was in mid-air, saw that Rengoku Kyojuro was still breathing, and couldn't help wondering how this high-end game would go. She was a long-range attacker, so she could only continue to fight in the air.

"Ming Luo?" Rengoku Kyojuro was stunned for a moment. He wanted her to leave quickly, but then he saw the overwhelming golden light bombarding the opponent.

"Flowers raining down from the sky!" Ming Luo shouted in a low voice, and the flying knives flew down like rain.

Akaza could only dodge, he didn't like being stabbed like a hedgehog. But there were more than one wave of knives flying from the sky, one wave of flying knives followed by another wave of stabbings, and then another wave of flying knives, and then another wave of stabbings.

Akaza: ...

"Mr. Purgatory--" Shinobu Kocho rushed over and saw the mighty and domineering Mingluo in the sky. She wanted to find an opportunity to bandage the wound of the Flame Pillar.

"Butterfly, huh~huh~" Rengoku Kyojuro saw the reinforcements and estimated the chances of continuing the battle. Butterfly was the fastest among the pillars and was good at making poisons for evil spirits. If he was intact now, he might be able to fight.

[Now...what should I do? ]

How to protect them?

"Another woman?" Akaza's face turned even uglier. What was wrong with the Demon Slayer Corps? They let so many women fight. Although he didn't fight women, it didn't mean he wouldn't fight shields.

Bang!

A loud bang made Mingluo's body shake. Akaza below jumped up and hit the shield with random punches, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground from a height of about 15 meters with a scream.

“Ah——” Why do I fall every time I meet Rengoku Kyojuro?

Akaza was startled by the deafening wail and trembled a few times. Seeing the pale and painful expression on the girl's face, a vague female face seemed to emerge in his mind. So weak, so beautiful... Who is it?

Who is that?

Why does it appear in my mind?

Akaza felt a headache and ran away holding his head. The two pillars stood there without chasing him, and they had no way to continue chasing him. One was seriously injured, and the other had to take care of two injured people.

"Mingluo, are you okay?" Shinobu Kocho took out the medicine box and stopped Rengoku Kyojuro's bleeding first. Mingluo seemed so energetic, so there shouldn't be any big problem.

The most important thing is... this is not the first time this girl has been hospitalized due to a fall.

Rengoku Kyojuro saw Mingluo looking at him and crying, and couldn't help but speak to comfort him. "I'm fine."

"Oh, oh, oh~ You will never understand my sorrow, just like the day does not understand the darkness of the night." Ming Luo continued to cry while holding the shield. This was the nth time she had fallen.

I really want to develop a balancer, but she doesn't know how.

Shinobu Kocho burst out laughing and told Mr. Purgatory that the girl was crying about herself. "This is the seventh time she has fallen."

Rengoku Kyojuro: ...Well, I really don't understand this sadness.
