Chapter 12 Wisteria Blossoms Thinking of the Old Man(1/2)
"Beautiful!"
"It's the season when wisteria flowers bloom."
"Yes, it's like a purple waterfall."
Outside the butterfly house, three little girls with bean eyes gathered together and chattered and discussed.
Shizui, Nakahara Sumi, Takada Naoho, and the three of them were the Butterfly House logistics staff who had just joined Butterfly House. Like most of the people here, they also joined the Devil Slay Team because their family was killed by ghosts.
In the original work, the three girls who assisted Tanjiro in practicing "full concentration and continuation" are them.
With their blessings, Su Ming gradually learned to learn to read from his great teacher Chanahu.
Otherwise, with Chanahu's personality, if he has to throw a coin every time he speaks, he will definitely die!
At this time, it was not many days since the final selection of Fujishishan.
It's time to say goodbye.
...
It is noon in May, the sun is shining brightly, and the purple sea of flowers is also shining brightly.
Su Ming, who had just learned to read literacy, read various words in a show-off manner.
He walked to an old pillar, stroked the words engraved on the pillar, and said softly: "The chestnut flower falls in Kanaho 10 years old and 121cm, butterfly Ninja 12 years old and 143cm, butterfly Eki Kanaho 15 years old and 153cm..."
"So that's it. The height is engraved on this pillar."
The eldest teacher Kanahu, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and looked at him.
Su Ming continued to recite: "Kanahu is 12 years old and 14 years old and 151 years old and 17 years old and 157 years old."
"Wait, there is no record after this?" Su Ming murmured in a low voice.
It seemed that I could hear Su Ming's muttering.
Chanahu's originally calm eyes appeared in a ripples.
Is that true? Is there no record afterwards?
Because, the person who recorded it is no longer there.
She took a sip of tea, and the hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly.
His pupils were stunned.
The memories hidden in my mind appeared before my eyes.
It was also when the purple vine flowers bloomed. The wind blew, and the wisteria flowers also made a series of rustling sounds.
A gentle woman, measuring her height, smiled and stroked her head.
"I will write down the height of Chanahu Jiang in the future. Because Chanahu is the cutest."
"Hi, OK." After measuring his height, he carved marks on the wooden pillar and recorded them.
"Also, I want to come over and measure your height, hurry up."
"Really, sister."
"hurry up."
“…”
So warm!
But...why.
I feel like I want to cry.
Ah?
Will my body... have a crying reaction?
"Dongdong-Dongdong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-D
The sound of heartbeat suddenly became clear.
...
The long-lost 'pain',
I don’t know if that is painful, but I’m unconsciously sure that is it.
Tears were about to burst out.
Breathing disorder...the body whines.
Is this ‘pain’?
Why,
I can't remember such a profound thing?
Very strange, I...
Is it a broken human?
...
Want to see her very much
...Butterfly Kanae.
"Wow woo woo woo ~" As if the wooden door suddenly opened, the mouth that had been closed finally opened.
Like the rotten wooden door making a sour sound, the sound that had not been roaring for a long time was also very strange, with a little crying voice.
The room became quiet, and Su Ming stared blankly at the girl with tears gushing from her eyes.
this??
Is this so moved that the teacher burst into tears because he taught me to read?
With this reaction, should I be happy or sad?
Su Ming couldn't see through the girl's heart, but was a little surprised.
This time, she didn't throw a coin!!
...
After a while, it seemed that the girl felt something was not normal.
Su Ming swallowed and spitted, and asked carefully: "It's okay, Teacher Chanahu."
Chanahu shook her head, said nothing, but quietly took out the coin.
I have no idea.
When you can't make a decision.
She said: "Then ask the coin!"
"Ding~"
The crisp sound of coins sounded in the air.
...
Whenever the coin sounds, it seems that she is also talking in my ear.
but……
The increasingly blurred sound gradually turned into the sound of coins.
I……
How long has it been since I heard her voice?
...
"Crazy"
The faint fragrance of wisteria flowers lingers between the mouth and nose with the wind.
The eldest teacher, Kanahu, gradually returned to his original appearance.
The slightly crystal clear corners of her eyes made her angry a little.
Although it was just a sentimental feeling, it was much better than the original doll face that made people feel distressed.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the Butterfly House, Su Ming embarked on the road to Tengxishan.
In the end, he did not use coins to trick Kanaho like Tanjiro in the original work, so that she could listen to her inner thoughts.
It's ridiculous, he just felt that he couldn't do that.
Different people do the same thing and will produce different results.
He is Su Ming, not Tanjiro.
Even though he said the same words, he used the same tone.
