[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

==============================

【Bai Qi

Rabbit

The letter crow was sent by me to the lord to deliver the message, and I couldn't turn back for a while, so I could only use the flying barge to deliver the message, please forgive me.

After everything is over, please help me send it to Yizhi's assistant. 】

The rusty-haired young man frowned tightly, his figure shuttled through the deep forest like an arrow from the string, sprinting forward almost recklessly.

Had to... catch up.

【During the gathering in Sawu Mountain earlier, you mentioned that you can ask for help if necessary.

It just so happens that I need your assistance on one matter at this time. Although it may be a difficult problem, I can't think of anyone else who can do it except you. 】

"Master Shuizhu?" The hermit at the foot of the mountain who was in charge of responding looked puzzled when he saw Satu, "Why are you here? Is your lord any new arrangements?"

"Where is Hiiragi?"

"What Hiiragi? Oh, you mean Mr. Jiuyuan?" The hermit team responded for a moment and replied, "The ghost who came to the mountain has left not long ago, and some team members have gone up the mountain to look for Mr. Jiuyuan. Are you here?" Wait here for a while...Master Shuizhu?"

The hidden soldier looked around, but there was no sign of the man in front of him.

What's going on here?He was puzzled.

【I remember you said a few years ago that although ghosts cannot be forgiven, you still think it is a sad thing to be a ghost,

Whether it is the shadow ghost in Asakusa or the ghost mother of the Buddhist temple in the mountains, if it is not turned into a ghost by Oni Wu Tsuji, all these tragedies will never happen. 】

The mountains and forests were almost destroyed, beyond recognition, with broken trees and lifted earth and rocks everywhere, and there was a sense of desolation and silence in the desolation.

Sato saw a hermit soldier in black sitting under a broken tree from a distance.

Smells of blood, probably injured

"Hey, are you alright!"

The hermit fell to the side of the tree clutching his injured and bleeding arm. After hearing Sato's voice, he seemed to have finally rekindled his hope. He struggled to stand up and pointed to a certain direction in the forest.

"Master Shuizhu! Over there, the ghost is over there..."

"ghost?"

Hasn't the ghost already left?

The ominous premonition kept condensing and expanding in his heart, almost making his brain go blank.

"Will not."

Sato murmured, not knowing who he was talking to.

[So when you receive this letter, please hurry to the mountain on the west side of the bamboo hut, and cut off the tragedy that is about to happen. 】

Under the moonlight before dawn, he saw Kuhara Hiiragi.

The clothes on his body were already soaked in blood, and he was stretching out an arm at this moment, strangling the hermit soldier's neck to pick up the dying poor man.

It is the enemy who wants to take the hilt away.

is the enemy, so it needs to be killed.

Need to kill, kill?need...need...

What am I going to do?

"Help!!"

The hidden soldier squeezed out the words for help from his throat.

"what are you doing!"

Sato didn't hold the knife, but swung it with the scabbard at the same time, and hit the arm of Kuhara Hiiragi, who was pinching the hermit soldier. Seeing this, the latter threw the injured man aside and blocked it with his palm. Attacked by Satoshi.

Looking at those dark eyes, ferocious fangs, and emotionless face, Satu could hardly think for a moment.

is that a lie.

he said in his heart.

[There is something I haven’t told you all this time, I am actually very envious of your talent in swordsmanship,

That's a height I'm sure I'll never reach in my life.

Every time you swing your sword, that blue is always refreshing. 】

Sabito pushed Kuhara Hiiragi aside, but no matter what kind of attack the latter received, he could always restore the wound to its original state in an instant.

"You wake me up!!"

He held the Japanese sword horizontally in front of him to resist Kuhara Hiiragi's pounced hand, but no matter what he said, the man's darkened eyes were still empty.

"If you become a man-eating evil spirit, Master Linlong will apologize by harakiri!"

"What about Inosuke? You said you wanted to teach him to protect him, but now you want to leave everything behind?"

"Answer me!!"

With a violent struggle, he threw Kuhara Hiiragi out, and the latter rushed back again after a short pause. While the ferocious gaze and numb expression made Satu feel strange, he also realized one thing.

——Yeah, there is no other way.

What else am I expecting here?How could there be a way?

A Hiiragi has become a ghost.

A person who becomes a ghost, loses the memory of his life, and becomes a man-eating monster. This is something he has seen countless times in the past few years.

The sky had already started to turn cold, presumably after a while, when the sun rose, this person would be reduced to ashes.

Make a decision.

This is also... unavoidable.

Breathing heavily as if filled with lead, Satu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he put on a gentle smile.

"I have your letter."

"The Flying Bird flew very fast and arrived in time."

The Sun Wheel Knife was out of its sheath, and the blue blade cast a desolate and sad color in the air.

"But this is really the worst request I've ever heard in my life."

【If this body turns into a ghost, it must not be what I want,

so please,

At least in the end, I still want to see your amazing sword skills. 】

"Water breathing... Wu's shape."

Looking at the pupils reflecting the azure blue, Sato didn't hesitate any longer, and swung his knife diagonally.

"The rain of kindness on a dry day."

Gentle sprays of water froth, like thin threads, like silk satin, descending from the dry sky, benefiting the earth and moistening all things.

You never seem to mention your past, as if you have no desires or desires, not even the food you like, and you don't even have things as hobbies.

But why?

Satoshi looked at Kuhara Hiiragi before his head was beheaded and he passed away silently.

Why are you so taciturn whether it's fighting or chatting.

At the last moment, you want to smile at me tenderly?

……

Sabito didn't know what happened after that, his mind went blank, he could only stand quietly until the sky was glowing, until suddenly a hand patted his shoulder.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The old man in blue haori and a tengu mask was standing beside him at some point.

Sato raised his head and looked at him blankly, only then realized that the figure of the beheaded ghost was no longer there.

Yes, it's dawn.

"Master Lintaki," he turned to Lintaki left for the next time with a blank expression, and said dryly, "I'm sorry, senior brother..."

"Sakusa." Rin Taki Zuo didn't speak for the last time, but silently stretched out his hand and patted Sausa's head, "You didn't do anything wrong, so don't apologize."

"But……"

"This is something he had planned a long time ago, and he must be very grateful to you now." Zuo Jin sighed for the first time, "Go back and rest, the ghost king is not dead, everything is not over yet."

Sato, who was immersed in his thoughts, could only nod his head. The grief in his heart made him ignore a few obvious problems. He just took the flying bird and walked heavily on the road to the bamboo hut.

[There are a few more words, please pass them on to Inosuke for me. 】

It was noon when Sabito arrived.

"You still know...why is it you? Where's Kihara?"

The child wearing a wild boar hood ran aggressively to the steps, but when he saw Sato, he stopped in his tracks.

"A Hiiragi..." Saito opened his mouth, allowing himself to speak as naturally as possible, "He's going on a long-term mission and won't be back for a while."

Saying that, he handed the flying barge to Inosuke.

The child did not take it.

He is not a fool, on the contrary, he may be more sensitive than anyone else.

"Where did he go?"

Inosuke asked.

Sabito didn't speak, he couldn't answer.

"Since it's a long-term mission! You tell me where Master has gone!"

Ah, I am willing to call you master at this time.

Satoshi thought silently.But it's useless to say more, Inosuke probably realized what happened, and instead of making up more lies, it's better for him to realize the reality earlier.

"Ah Hiiragi asked me to tell you that he has nothing to teach you anymore. Whether you become a member of the Ghost Killing Team or return to Dayue Mountain to be the king of the mountain, you can do what you want."

"Find some reliable companions, and don't beat people at every turn."

"As long as you live, even if the world is turbid, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, you might meet them somewhere."

"Dou Zhuzhi is so interesting, he doesn't want to come back for a while, please forgive me."

After he finished speaking, he put the flying barge on the ground aside.

"You have to pass on what he left you, you're a man after all."

After speaking, his figure disappeared in place.

And Inosuke looked at the flying barge, and after a while he sat on the ground.

As if the world was coming to an end, I began to cry.

……

At this time, Sagiri Mountain.

"Hey Rinaki, can I just put this thing on this pile of ghost symbols?"

Ryotaki Sakumo nodded to the hunter hired by him.

"Just put it there, thank you for your hard work." He said, "Please don't tell this matter."

"Ah, I won't say it, we've been friends for so many years." And anyway, he doesn't know what's in this strange heavy box, the hunter thought silently.

After the hunter left, Zuo Jintaki opened the box for the first time, and placed Hiiragi Kuhara, whose head had healed at some point, on top of the layers of charms.

He looked at the unconscious apprentice silently, and the words that Yuya Miyayashiki passed to himself through Nobuya eight years ago came to mind.

"Just about six years ago, members of the Ghost Killing Squad reported that a woman told them that she found out that her fiancé who was about to remarry was a ghost disguised as a human being, and when she fled from that ghost, I stole a sword hilt from his room."

"The ghost killing team gave her a wisteria flower body sachet that can drive away ghosts. After that, she lived in the mountains with her four-year-old son born to her ex-husband, and she was also protecting the handle of the sword. .”

"That woman's name is Kuhara Atsuki."

"Please go to the west to find her son, Your Highness Rinaki, please train him to be a ghost slayer."

"Maybe it can be the key to counterattack."

Not on a whim.

The program started eight years ago, or longer than that.

……

And Kuhara Hiiragi's consciousness is currently in a sea of ​​flames.

where is this?

He looked around blankly, and suddenly remembered the next moment.

By the way, I fell into evil when I was transformed into a ghost by Oni Wu Tsuji.

The memory after that is fuzzy, although in order to prevent myself from becoming a ghost who completely loses consciousness and only knows how to kill, please ask Sato to cut off his neck.But it seems that even if he knocked on the door of death, he was just turned away.

After all, Xiangshu is neither a god nor a ghost, unless Taiwu takes action, he cannot be killed or destroyed.

"It's really ridiculous. As Taiwu, he survived because of Xiangshu's infatuation."

Someone told him that.

Jiuyuan Hiiragi turned his head, and saw the real body of Xiangshu who had been expelled by him in the previous life was looking at him quietly, without any emotion in his eyes.

"You're here too." He said, and resumed his posture of preparing to attack.

Xiangshu sneered at this.

There is no other choice, until the new Taiwu is born, maybe they will fight endlessly forever in this sea of ​​hell that burns even their souls.

"Since Taiwu can also become evil, things will be much easier."

But at this moment, Jiuyuan Hiiragi suddenly heard a soft voice.

"Hiragi, you can no longer regard Xiangshu as your enemy." Yoya Ubuyashiki in memory raised a finger to his lips, "Since it is a kind of power, why can't it be used by you?"

For my use?

Ahhh, there seems to be such a plan.

He stopped suddenly, and looked at Xiangshu again without any hostility, but with a little bit more bewilderment and doubt.

I thought the road ahead was pitch black, but in fact, after arriving, there was no darkness.

"What do you want to do?" Looking at Kuhara Hiiragi who suddenly lost his hostility, Xiangshu asked him.

"I was just thinking maybe we could make peace."

"Are you crazy?"

"maybe."

It's crazy to even use Xiangshu, my lord.

Thinking of this, a pleasurable pleasure stirred his heart inexplicably.

"All in all." Kuhara Hiiragi stretched out a hand, his eyes shone brighter than ever before, "Rather than fighting endlessly, it's better to live together."

"do you dare?"

"...you will go to hell." Xiangshu said.

"We've been there a long time ago." Kuhara Hiiragi replied.

From the previous life, from the time when he held the Fu Yu sword hilt, or, from earlier, earlier.

They've been in hell.

Xiangshu stared blankly at him for a while with strange eyes,

Finally, laugh out loud.

……

In the forest of Sawu Mountain, in the hut surrounded by layers of spells, the person who had been silent for a long time suddenly moved, and his hair gradually became colored like black jade.The third eye with red pupils on a black background suddenly opened from his forehead, terrifying and beautiful.

It appears to be back.

Kuhara Hiiragi opened his eyes, thinking blankly.

But at the same time, something like a chain suddenly broke.

"Although the hiiragi trees are not resistant to cold or waterlogging, they will die if they are not careful." In the gradually clear memory, his mother smiled gently at him.

"But my mother doesn't ask for that, I just hope that you can be like the Hiiragi tree, evergreen all the year round."

laugh.

Resound.

Let's go.

Meet your destiny.

Since your birth, you have gone through two lifetimes, passed through countless complicated and painful labyrinths, and finally came to this place.

Now you just need to immerse yourself in this empty dream and pour out words that mock the gods.Where the fire burns, the smoke of rebellion rises.

To live proudly and brightly is a piece of cake.

Kuhara Hiiragi looked at the sunlight cast by the forest in Sagiri Mountain, stayed for a while, and then sat up slowly.

The final step of the plan has been achieved.

The author has something to say:

In fact, this game is called Xiangshu Picture Scroll, the main character is the successor of Xiangshu, and the goal is to destroy the world and expel Taiwu (no, don’t listen to this person’s nonsense)

In short, I want A Hiiragi to say goodbye to the fate of [expletive words shielded]
