Zenitsu became a lot more honest after I kicked him out. He didn't start his dirty scream as I expected. Instead, he climbed back into his bed in a good manner, pulled the quilt to his chest, and
In the dim candlelight, he stared at the shadow on the opposite wall, blinking his big, well-hydrated eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Go to sleep." I hit it hard, and now I am sleepy. I lie on my side and shrink into the soft quilt, burying half of my face under the quilt, and say in a slightly unclear voice: "
Come with me to the town tomorrow to buy a bamboo hat. If there are new tasks, do them. If not, come back and take care of Tanjiro and Zhutou."
Zenitsu said a perfunctory "Uh-huh" twice, and turned over to lie on his side, face to face with me. He looked like he was hesitant to speak. Just when I thought he wanted to say something to me.
, this guy opened his mouth and called someone else’s name:
"Actually... Tanjiro, I actually have something to ask you."
Thinking he wanted to talk to me, I almost responded: "..."
Damn it, why are you talking to me when you talk to Tanjiro? A normal person would think that you are talking to yourself, right?
I felt that my feelings had been deceived, so I turned over decisively and left the back of my head to this merciless golden retriever.
Zenitsu: "???"
"Huh? What's going on?" Tanjiro's voice sounded. I guessed he sat up. It was probably Zenitsu's rare serious question, so he paid enough attention to it.
"I just want to ask, um," Zenitsu said hesitantly. Maybe the question he wanted to ask made him nervous. I felt him put his hand into my quilt and gently pinched the corner of my clothes:
"Because we all found out but no one asked about it, and Glory didn't mention it. We all believe you, so we want an explanation..."
"Why are you bringing a ghost with you?"
I just wanted to complain about whether Zenitsu is a child or not, so I pinched my clothes nervously when asking a question: "..."
I was shocked: "What? Ghost?!!"
Zenitsu also looked shocked: "What? Don't you know about Glory?!"
I turned over and sat up and looked at each other with Zenitsu, watching his expression turn into a rage: "What? I thought you knew! Glory, you don't know?!!"
I:"???"
Me: "Where do I know where to go? I don't have clairvoyance and ears! Do you think everyone has special reconnaissance skills like you?!!"
Tanjiro, who just felt that he was trusted and felt warm in his heart: "..."
The boy of the family, Kamado, smiled slightly and said, "Well, thank you anyway."
――――
"My nose is very good, and I have smelled the scent of Glory and Zenitsu from the beginning. You are both gentle and strong people." Tanjiro nodded his nose, and then looked at the man he had always been with a gentle expression.
The wooden box carried on the back:
"Come out, Nezuko."
Hmm? Nezuko? This is a girl’s name, right?
I turned my head and looked over curiously, and saw the polished wooden box shaking, and then the door was pushed open from the inside with a "squeak" sound.
"Hey--ah!!! It's not locked!" Shanyi was like a frightened bird, and the golden hair on his head exploded with fright, and he plunged into my bed decisively: "Bao Bao Bao Bao protect me, Glory
!You must protect me, Glory! It’s so scary! The ghost is coming out!!!”
I:"……"
Me: "Zhenyi, let's not talk about your embarrassing question, don't you think our current posture is not right?"
The golden retriever crybaby curled up in my arms like a three-year-old son curled up in his mother's arms: "Huh? Is something wrong?"
I took my three-year-old son by the back collar and tore him off his body. I didn’t even bother to brew my feelings of disgust and put him aside without any surprise: “And even if you are a ghost, you are a cute girl.
look."
A girl crawled out of the wooden box with a bamboo tube in her mouth. The ends of her long black hair gradually turned dark red. When she poked her head out, she was still the size of a child of several years old. After she stood up, her figure elongated to the height of a girl. She wore
The girl in the pink plaid kimono tilted her head, blinked her soft pink eyes, and cast an inexplicably loving look at me.
……g?Charity?
…
"Tan, Tanjiro, what's going on?"
I knelt down on the quilt with a dazed look on my face, looking at the shadow cast in front of me - this ghost girl led by Tanjiro was rubbing my hair in the same way as a cat. By the way, even if it was a cat
Cat, she would also be attacked by a cat with a "meow" sound, and my head would be turned into a bird's nest, right?
"I guess, Nezuko considers you a younger brother?"
I:"???"
Me: "Who is the younger brother? I am not the younger brother."
How can I admit that I am a younger brother? I have always been the father!
Tanjiro was stunned: "Hey, is that so? Nezuko is fourteen years old now. How old is Glory?"
I:"……"
This question stumped me. To be honest, I don’t know how old I am! If I were born based on crawling out of the training barn, maybe I would be ten years old this year?
I was fifteen years old."
For a high school freshman, fifteen is the normal age, I thought confidently.
Tanjiro was a little surprised: "g? But, Nezuko only treats the younger ones——"
He didn't finish the rest of his words, because Zenitsu, who had been staying aside with his head lowered since just now, suddenly spoke up, and...
Something seems wrong with Zenitsu's state!
I looked at Zenitsu with a shocked face as golden electric sparks began to emit from his body. He stood up staggeringly like a zombie, with a thunderous sound in his breathing, and suddenly fell into a sleep state.
The lightning and thunder buff that can be stimulated. It is the first time that this guy has such great pressure when he is awake, he speaks in a low tone:
"—Tanjiro."
A stream of air like white mist was exhaled from his mouth. This was the breath of thunder that Mr. Kuwashima taught me for half a month but he still didn't let me get a handle on it. Zenitsu exhaled another breath of "ZilaZila" that was charged with electricity.
Qi: “I’m talking about you——”
"--This is really amazing!" Accompanied by the strong sour gas, I stared dumbfoundedly as Zenitsu pulled out the knife--fuck! Why did he even pull out the knife! What's going on? It's so sour.
Have you opened a large size?!!
The guy from Thunder Breath took a step forward aggressively: "So you always have such a cute girl with you?! What do you think of the Demon Slayer Squad? You travel with such a cute girl every day! And!
I can only follow behind Glory and watch girls ogling him! I tell you! Don’t underestimate the Demon Slayer Squad!!!”
"Zen, Zenitsu?" Tanjiro, who had not yet realized what was going on, took a step back subconsciously: "Calm down first..."
"-I can't calm down!!!" Shanyi yelled with tears in his eyes: "I have been struggling for so long and struggled in my heart for a long time. I finally mustered up the courage to ask. Is this the reason for it?! I am.
In order for you to play happily with girls in this way and that way every day?!!"
"Why! Give me my psychological struggle! The Demon Slayer Corps is not a place to play with girls!!! A guy like you, a guy like you..."
Accompanied by bursts of golden lightning from the breath of thunder, the room lit only by candlelight seemed to have turned on a poorly connected electric light, and the lights flickered brightly.
"——It should be eliminated immediately!!!"
…
I sat on the quilt with a dull face. In front of me stood a ghost girl who was concentrating on stroking my hair. Behind me lay a boar head snoring loudly. Next to me, I was running around in a circle with a knife, chasing me.
Zenitsu and Tanjiro, the old woman outside the door asked in a doubtful voice:
"Excuse me, what happened?"
"No, it's okay, please don't worry." I sighed helplessly.
"I just felt what it was like for a kindergarten teacher to take care of children..."
――――
In the early morning, the sky is just getting dark, the warm golden sunshine has just emerged from the horizon, and the slightly cool air is still moist with the night.
"Nezuko-chan~Nezuko-chan~Tanjiro~"
"Zhenyi! Calm down!"
"Nezuko-chan ~ Tanjiro ~ let's get along well ~"
The sound of a certain blond screaming chicken came from the room. I couldn't sleep because of the noise caused by the three people all night. I pressed the dark circles under my eyes and sat with one leg bent in a silent posture after smoking.
On the corridor at the door.
Inosuke hugged his wild boar hood and sat in the same posture next to the corridor column two meters away from me. He pressed his lolita face against the railing and let out a long and peaceful sigh:
"……hungry."
"..." I raised my head and glanced at the still dark sky, then turned my head and glanced at the room where the three of them had obviously not finished their rounds, and touched my nose thoughtfully:
"Um, Inosuke?"
"What are you calling me for?"
"Do you want to go shopping with me in the town? If you leave now, you'll be back in time for breakfast... and then I can let you eat all my tempura?"
Zenitsu's mind is now full of "marriage" waste. I can no longer expect him to accompany me to buy bamboo hats. How can I go shopping without anyone carrying a bag for a rare trip! With this thought in mind, I started to abduct the young pig-headed boy who was already ready to take action.
:
"Tempura is that golden, crunchy, and fragrant thing wrapped in batter, right?"
"..."
Looking at the little flowers floating on the head of the young pig-headed boy, I knew that I had the tools to carry the bag.
――――
"What?!!!!"
With a city girl's hat tied on my head, followed by a deceitful boy carrying a bag, before I even reached the door of my sleeping room, I heard a familiar high-pitched sound coming from the room that clearly exceeded the standard decibel level:
"Glory and Inosuke went shopping?! Didn't they agree to go with me? Why! So they abandoned me again! Two are not enough! He wants three?!"
I:"……"
Under the bamboo hat, my expression couldn't help but twist.
――This is a description that accuses a scumbag of deceiving and emotionally deceiving people! Am I the Neptune of the fish farm???
