"As I accompany Miss Tamayo in her research, do I really have time to manage all the big and small chores?" Shinobu Kocho said gently.
“The Butterfly House is working pretty well now, isn’t it?”
"So sister, you have time to find me a brother-in-law outside."
It appeared. He was irritable before, but now he has become sarcastic?
Li Mo watched the communication between the sisters and had to admit that Shinobu Kocho had changed a lot.
Soon, they came to the reception room. Kocho Kanae and Li Mo sat together, while Kocho Shinobu sat opposite them.
Kanzaki Aoi quickly brought the tea up, brewed it for the three people in a proper manner, and then left in a proper manner.
Shinobu Kocho picked up the teacup with her delicate hands, blew the hot steam on it, and asked, "Mr. Li, when did you come back?"
"Five days to be exact."
"Five days? Why don't I know anything about it?"
The tone was very gentle, but the implication was that without a reasonable explanation, it would be impossible to convince the other party.
A reasonable explanation...
Li Mo said: "I contacted the master the night before. The master ordered that the news of my return should not be spread."
In the Demon Slayer Corps, the lord has a superior position. It is okay for me to use the lord as a shield. With the lord's gentle personality, he will definitely not mind my behavior.
Shinobu Kocho took a sip of tea and said, "I see. Then may I ask why you came to the Butterfly House after five days? Did you go somewhere a few days ago?"
The first question was a slap in the face, but the next question from Shinobu Kocho was the most crucial.
Li Mo said, "I first appeared in Tokyo, and then I got the news that Kanae was hiding in Yuguo. By chance, I knew that the Twelve Demon Moons, also known as the Upper Moons, were hiding there. So I went to Yuguo to help defeat the Twelve Demon Moons, and I have been busy until now."
Shinobu Kocho's eyes wandered between the two of them, and she said, "But as far as I know, the news of the successful subjugation of Upper Six was spread two days ago? Sister, do you have anything to say?"
The Demon Slayer Corps has an understanding of the strength of the Upper Ranks. This understanding comes from the news that Li Mo and the Upper Limit Three died together in the third year.
When Shinobu Kocho first heard the news that her sister was going to conquer Upper Six, she was surprised. As a younger sister, she must know how strong her sister is.
Because I understand, I doubt.
How could his sister defeat Upper Six with almost no injuries?
But if there was one more Li Mo, that would be normal.
Three years ago, he was able to defeat Upper String Three. Today, three years later, he can also defeat Upper String Six.
"Hmm... I didn't do anything? Just some finishing work."
"How far have you progressed?"
Shinobu Kocho didn't want to pay attention to her sister's pretense of stupidity. She used to do this every time they had a serious disagreement and she was about to lose her composure.
Did I imitate my sister too much, so she and Li Sang used the intimate name "brother-in-law" to annoy me?
But according to subsequent observations, the intimate behavior between the sister and Li Mo has gone beyond friendship.
Intimate skin contact, natural hand holding action...
All signs indicate that it is irrational.
"There is no title of husband and wife."
"We are husband and wife."
The two of them sang in unison and clapped their hands after they finished speaking, as if they had ignored Shinobu Kocho.
Butterfly Shinobu took a deep breath.
These two people...
"When will the wedding be held?" Shinobu Kocho's string of rationality has not yet broken.
This is a sharp sword.
Naked sword.
This is the sharpest counterattack.
Li Mo and Butterfly Kanae looked at each other.
The two discussed this issue while on the road.
The conclusion reached is...
"We will get married when there are no evil spirits in Japan," said Kanae Kocho.
"How long will it take?" asked Shinobu Kocho.
The current Demon Slayer Corps is the strongest generation except for the first generation of swordsmen of breathing technique. However, the lord is still hesitant about defeating the ancestor of demons.
Li Mo said, "I'm back, Xiaonin."
"You're back, then what? Brother-in-law."
Shinobu Kocho still addressed him as "brother-in-law". For some reason, a nameless resentment accumulated in her heart during the previous communication.
She is not happy.
So I am unwilling to call the other person "Li Sang".
Then, she felt her head being touched by the other person.
"Do you remember what I said to you, Shinobu?
I said, let the demons become history before I become a swordsman. Unfortunately, I didn't do that in the past.
Ren, I am back to fulfill my promise. "
Memories from the past came to mind. I was nine years old when the other person said this to me.
Before I knew it, I was already fourteen years old.
But you still touch my head as usual? I am no longer the little girl I was before.
"I see."
Shinobu Kocho should have answered the other party in a strong tone, but when the words came to her lips, she unconsciously softened.
He didn't even ask the other person to take his hand away, but turned his head away.
No longer looking directly at each other.
Chapter 237 Hatred
The morning sunlight poured into the house from the window at hand, shining right on Shinobu Kocho's cheek.
The cute girl turned her head away, her expression calm but the slight blush on her face betrayed her.
Snapped!
"Is the test that Shinobu gave us now over?"
Kocho Kanae clasped her hands together, tilted her head and smiled gently, breaking the almost frozen scene.
Li Mo withdrew his hand and said, "This is the last time, Xiaonin. You are a grown-up girl now, and I won't touch your head easily."
It is most appropriate that the target of the head pat is a child. Even if the child may object, isn't that objection itself a kind of fun?
"Oh."
There seemed to be no tone in the words Shinobu Kocho said, making it impossible to get a glimpse of her inner thoughts.
Butterfly Kanae said, "Well, it looks like it's over. So next, it's time for sisters to have a heart-to-heart talk. Li-san, could you please leave first? Can you give Xiaonin and I some private space to talk?"
"Can I say no?"
"Of course, no! I already said that these are private conversations between sisters. Let's go! Let's go!"
Li Mo was almost half-pushed and half-pushed by Butterfly Kanae to come out of the room.
Then, with a "bang", the door was closed.
What are the private conversations between sisters?
Li Mo couldn't help thinking, since there was nothing to do at the moment, his thoughts wandered a little.
"Um...Excuse me, are you Lord Hijiri?"
The thought was interrupted by the question.
Li Mo lowered his head and looked towards the source of the sound.
The person asking the question was Kanzaki Aoi.
Li Mo said: "Do you know me?"
"The only person who can be treated like that by Lady Kanae is you, Lady Hiruzen." said Kanzaki Aoi.
"Have you been in the Butterfly House long?"
"I've only been in the Butterfly House for a few months... well. Actually, before I came, Lady Kocho Shinobu and Lady Kanae had kept the Butterfly House in perfect order."
"I know." Li Mo said, "Butterfly House was built under my nose."
"I see... By the way, Lady Tamayo said that if you are free, please go to her place. I have other things to do, so please forgive me for not being able to lead the way for you, my Lord."
"You are Welcome."
Miss Tamayo, what do you want to talk to me about?
Although I am indeed a researcher, my research focuses on magic and Yin-Yang magic, and has nothing to do with ghosts. And she doesn't know that I have changed from a simple swordsman to a researcher.
Miss Tamayo's research materials are also worth a look. There is indeed some kind of mystical ability in the body of the ghost, that is, the thing that each ghost extends. Miss Tamayo doesn't have that thing on her, right? As expected, it is the curse that Muzan Kibutsuji uses to control his subordinates, right? Then is it right for me to pinch off that thing when I kill the ghost?
Two days ago, Li Mo and Butterfly Chanae slaughtered all the ghosts in Tokyo together. And every time he cut off the mystical connection.
—That seemed like the right move.
Thinking about it, Li Mo went to the basement.
Kanzaki Aoi watched the Sun Pillar Lord leave. In fact, she didn't even know Li Mo's name. Before meeting him today, she thought he was already dead.
There are many rumors about him in the Demon Slayer Corps. He is a genius and he and Rock Pillar are the two most powerful members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Kanzaki Aoi's understanding of him comes mostly from the exchanges with the Butterfly Sisters, Miss Tamayo, and others. He is a person who is both kind and evil. Of course, his personality is not the point.
