"It's probably the problem that the Uterine House needs to worry about. Oh, it's almost time."
"Aren't you nervous at all?"
Makomo asked.
"Why should you be nervous?"
Then, facing Li's shameless face, the little girl kicked him.
But for various reasons, she didn't use much force, so when she kicked Li Mo's calf, it was more like a touch.
It’s not painful or itchy, Li Mo summed it up this way.
Unfortunately, after doing this, Zhen Gu stopped talking.
People are always a bit mean. When others pay attention to you, you don't care about it, but when others don't pay attention to you, you feel it's rare again.
Li Mo took the opportunity to rub Zhen Gu's head. Although several years had passed, the other party still maintained the same height as when they first met.
Then, he came home in silence.
Urokodaki Sakonji was alone at home. Tomioka Giyuu and Santo were nowhere to be seen.
The old man was found by the stream. At that time, Urokodaki Sakonji was fishing with a fishing rod, but it seemed that there was no bait. Maybe he took the bait willingly? But at least the hook was not straight.
"It's Xiao Zhengu and Li Mo. What are you doing back this time?"
"Teacher Urokotaki, your hair is completely gray, and you are still wearing a mask?" Li Mo complained.
No matter when or where he is, Urokodaki Sakonji always wears a mask that looks like a tengu. It is said that Urokodaki Sakonji was so handsome when he was young that he wore the mask.
So why was Urokodaki-sensei born anyway?
"I'm used to it." Urokodaki Sakonji put away his fishing rod and said, "Let's go back. Giyu and Santo left a letter for the town before they left. You can take a look at it later."
"I understand, master."
"By the way, there's no food at home. Li Mo, let's go hunting in the mountains. Do you still have the axe with you?"
"Oh, I see. I'll be back soon."
That axe was what Li Mo used for hunting, and it was given to him by Tanjuro Kamado. In fact, when Demon Slayer was in the world, he basically kept in touch with the Kamado family through letters. Whether it was three years ago or three years later, it was the same.
The axe was thrown into the inventory a long time ago and never saw the light of day. After becoming a swordsman, the so-called axe was rarely used. Now, for him, the axe only has commemorative significance.
"Yes, yes, I'm going hunting."
Li Mo is not a person without vision. The purpose of Teacher Urokodaki sending him away is to communicate with Maokomo.
In fact, after he left, Urokodaki Sakonji did not have a long conversation with Makomo, he just asked a question.
"are you ready?"
"Ready."
Zhengu nodded.
What Urokodaki Sakonji saw in that was determination. If you think about it carefully, that kid has many advantages except that he is a little promiscuous and a little unfocused. Even his favorite disciples, Santo and Giyuu, are inferior to him in terms of overall quality.
In the past, you could say she looked average, but now you can’t say, is she a monster?
Urokodaki Sakonji thought of the description from the crow.
'A fox demon under the bright moon.'
I was talking about myself and this disciple.
Later, Shinkomo went to read the letters left by Santo and Tomioka Giyu.
When Li Mo came back with the pheasant, the girl had already finished reading the letter and started to light a fire and prepare water, waiting for him to come back.
"What's in the letter?"
"Nothing."
"Oh, I see. It's something I can't know, right?"
Zhen Gu said, "If you know, don't ask."
She didn't decide to tell the other party the contents of the letter.
——The two junior brothers said that if there was a conflict between the senior brothers and the senior sisters, they would stand on the side of the senior sisters.
Chapter 268: Starting Again
"So, in the end, Senior Urokodaki didn't say anything to you?"
"Yes."
"What a pity! Why didn't that old senior bother you?"
"Xiaonin, are you too cruel?"
Butterfly House. It has been a while since he and Zhengu went back to Sagiri Mountain. Today is the day when he and Zhengu returned to Butterfly House. Yes, Zhengu and Li Mo returned to Butterfly House, a place that serves as a medical facility.
After thinking about it, Makomo finally decided to continue to work in the Butterfly House. As a swordsman, she didn't know what to do in the future. This era was not friendly to women.
"Senior sister, I need a hug." Li Mo looked at Zhen Gu, seeking comfort from his petite senior sister.
"No."
Zhengu refused coldly, which made Li Mo look frustrated. Kocho Shinobu was very satisfied with this expression and smiled faintly.
Senior sister, your cold look really sets off your coy look in bed...
Perhaps it was because Mr. Li's gaze was too dazzling, Zhen Gu hesitated slightly, and then for some reason his face turned red and he kicked over.
This time it was not a fake kick, but a real kick.
The body of a fox monster was beyond the ordinary, and this amount of strength was barely enough to tickle. But the other party lifted up his own feet in an exaggerated manner.
"Good morning, everyone. Looks like I missed something interesting."
"elder sister?"
"Kanae-chan."
Butterfly Kana came late.
Li Mo immediately fled to Butterfly Chanae and said, "Chanae, you have to make the decision for me. The two of them teamed up to bully me."
"Really? So there are three now."
Butterfly Kanae was not as tall as Li Mo, but she was not like Zhengu, and she could not even touch Li Mo's head with her hand. Raising her arm, Butterfly Kanae made Li Mo's head look like a doghouse.
Soon, she said with satisfaction: "Now it's pleasing to the eye. Such a handsome Mo-chan always feels weird. By the way, you haven't put down your things yet, let's go."
"Let's go, where to?"
"Purgatory Senior's house?"
"?"
When I have a question mark, it is definitely not because I have a problem, but because I think you have a problem.
Li Mo said: "Didn't I just come back?"
"Let's go! Makomo-chan has already agreed. Makomo-chan, please pass Mo-chan's luggage over here, thank you." Kocho Kanae said to Makomo, who then passed the luggage to her.
——So you asked me to bring the luggage here for your next departure?
Li Mo looked at the way Shinkomo and Kocho Shinobu were drinking tea, and he knew that the two had known about this for a long time, except for himself.
Now that things have come to this, there is no way to struggle and all I can do is enjoy it.
Going to the Purgatory House was already planned. Even the time was set, which was to leave after returning to the Butterfly House. The only thing Li Mo didn't expect was that he would leave again right after returning.
As a "pillar"... Although the title of "pillar" has been cancelled, the physical quality will not disappear.
Even with the stripes turned off, Butterfly Kanae's speed was still very fast. And Li Mo... as a monster, no matter how fast Kanae ran, he could keep up.
Some distance away from the Butterfly House, on a deserted path, the two were talking, and the topic gradually became dangerous.
"Mo-chan."
"Ok?"
"You and Makoto-chan, it's a relationship, right?"
"Can you tell?"
"The walking posture is different."
Li Mo said: "I don't feel any difference. Wow... suddenly I feel like a scumbag."
Butterfly Kanae smiled and said, "It's no use pretending to be pitiful, Mo-chan. Raise your head and look forward, you have come to this point."
Shrugging his shoulders, Li said seriously, "Can't you just accompany me for a while?"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to."
Traveling is hard. But as the saying goes, working together is not tiring, and the same is true for walking.
They camped outdoors at night. For a "former swordsman", camping outdoors was a normal thing. After the evil ghosts were annihilated, there was no threat in the wild. Especially since there was a monster here.
Li Mo, who currently only has three tails, cannot be considered a big monster, but there is nothing in Japan that can threaten him.
The man has feelings for the woman, and they can do anything that is as good as the sky.
——This time, the shikigami acted as a preparation for the leak.
The next day.
Butterfly Chanae sat by the fire, carefully pinning her butterfly hair accessories. Unlike the wildness of last night, the dignified and quiet girl is back.
"Mo-chan."
"Ok?"
"I have a question. Between me and Makomo, who do you think is better?"
Very good, it's a good question. Who is better, a queen figure or a loli figure? This is like the question of whether sweet or salty rice dumplings are better on the Internet, which is something that can easily cause political disputes. It is comparable to the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party in the late Ming Dynasty.
Doesn't seem like a good metaphor.
But Li Mo knew how to answer this question.
