Chapter 15 06
After confirming that Purgatory Anjuro was out of danger of death, Rai entered a state of forced dormancy.
At this time, Rai was in a blank place, facing the flashing blue light screen above, a little speechless, Ruby, are you poisoned?
[No, it’s a mission reward! Reward! 】
Ruby emphasized to Rai, [The mandatory tasks issued by the system come from the wishes of countless people in a parallel world. When the same regret is mentioned more often, the gods will hear it, and the more people want to realize their wishes.
, then when you help them realize it, Rai, the more rewards you will get.】
[Of course, some of the on-site behavioral evaluations when completing tasks that I mentioned before are also one of the criteria for judging rewards. 】
[I have to say, Rai, you did a really great job on the first task! 】
Ruby seemed to be the one who completed the task, and said very proudly, [Purgatory Anjuro is a very popular character in that world, and many people don't want him to die. So, Rai, the reward you got this time
Super generous!】
[But also because of the generous rewards, you need to sleep for a period of time before the system can be transformed. 】
Renovation?
Hearing this word, Rai's eyelids began to twitch. She always had a bad feeling. What was the reward?
[Well... I won't reveal it for now. But the total points I got this time are 50,000. I have deducted the 10,000 you owe me first, and there is an additional reward waiting for you to wake up.
You’ll find out when you come.]
【Okay, let’s take a nap first, Rai.】
Rai's soul also entered forced sleep, and Ruby's last words were also unclear.
[When you wake up...the world...will be different.]
——
Purgatory Anjuro did not expect that he would have the chance to wake up again. The moment he opened his right eye, the three juniors rushed towards him with tears in their eyes.
Tanjiro Kamado, "Mr. Purgatory! You finally woke up!"
Zuhira Ichisuke said, "That's great!"
My wife, Zenitsu, said, "I didn't expect Mr. Purgatory to meet Shang Xian San. I'm really worried about you!"
Compared with the overly excited appearance of the younger generations, Purgatory Anjuro, who had escaped from the gate of hell, quickly accepted the fact that he was still alive. He greeted them in a very loud tone: "Hey! Everyone!
I'm back!"
Live! He is the living big brother from purgatory!!
The three people who were so frightened that they couldn't understand burst into tears again.
Tanjiro Kamado, who was the first to calm down, and Anjuro Purgatory talked about what happened after he fell into coma——
The people in the Mugen Train were all settled by the Demon Slayer Support Team's "Hidden" who came later. Because Purgatory Anjuro's injury was not in good shape and he had to travel a long way back to Butterfly House, Kamado Tanjiro and the others took him first.
Take him to the nearby Wisteria House to rest for a while, and... Rai——
"After performing the operation on Mr. Purgatory, Rai also fell into a coma."
It has been two days since Purgatory Anjuro woke up, but... Kamado Tanjiro hesitated and said, "Rai... she hasn't woken up yet."
"What?!"
"The doctor checked her and found that she was fine. She just fell into an unexplained lethargy."
To be honest, if Kamado Tanjiro hadn't seen the scene of Rai performing surgery on Purgatory Anjurou under the sun, he would have really thought that Rai was as special a being as his sister.
Hearing that Rai was still sleeping, Purgatory Anjuro couldn't sit still. He came to Rai's room and looked at the drowsy girl sleeping on the tatami. He gently sat down by the bed and sat down too quietly.
The atmosphere made him recall some past events unconsciously.
He thought of his mother who died young, his brother who was still waiting for him at home, and his father who was like a zombie after his mother died...
I thought we would see each other forever after that, but I didn’t expect to be so lucky. At that time, I felt guilty for leaving my young brother behind. I was really not a qualified brother. I would have to work hard to become stronger in the future.
, so as to prevent the people around him from crying because of him.
There is also my father, who was always persuaded to give up by his fiery temper before. This time I have to communicate with my father well no matter what, and convey my inner thoughts to him truthfully.
Purgatory Anjuro made up his mind in his heart.
His thoughts were too divergent. When he came back to his senses, Purgatory Anjuro looked into a pair of cute, stunned cat eyes. Seeing that the little girl was awake, Purgatory Anjuro's mood became much brighter, "You're awake, Rai."
?”
Worried about whether the little girl who had been comatose for two days like him was also weak, Purgatory Anjuro deliberately kept his voice low, fearing to disturb the kitten, but he didn't know if the volume was too low.
She didn't react to his words at all, and stared blankly at him... behind her.
Purgatory Anjuro glanced back, "Is there something behind me? Rai."
There is nothing, what is Rai looking at?
A woman stood behind Purgatory Anjuro, a woman with black hair, gentle eyebrows, and a temperament like a snow lotus. She was wearing a very simple white kimono, and her lower body was slightly transparent.
Ley blinked. Was she hallucinating?
[No, Rai, it’s your eyes that have changed.]
Ruby reminded aloud, "This is an extra reward."
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Eye of Reality", the "Eye of Reality" has been loaded! 】
[Eye of Reality - The things that humans can see are limited, ghosts, monsters, cursed spirits... these creatures that most humans cannot see actually live in the same world with them, use these eyes to witness
The whole picture of the world!]
Rai's pupils were shocked, "?!!!"
So, this woman is actually a ghost??
——Help!!!
Ley almost wanted to scream. God knows what she was most afraid of in her previous life was horror movies!!
Sure enough, this is a trap!
Ruby! Come out! I don’t want this reward!
[Once the reward is issued, it is non-refundable and non-refundable.]
Beating up enemy Hakkas and all kinds of bad things in Meteor Street didn't break Rai, and Ruby didn't expect that her host would stumble over such a trivial thing.
There will be many tasks related to these species in the future, which is an inevitable trend of growth.】
So just accept your fate, Ley.
Woohoo, I want to go home...
Rai shrinks into the quilt in fear and rolls himself up into a ball, which frightens Infernal Anjuro.
"Ley, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Let me call the doctor for you."
"...No, it's okay."
Listening to the other party's nervous tone for him, Rai leaned out of the quilt again and said, "It's just a nightmare." And this nightmare may last for a long, long time.
"It seems that what happened two days ago still shocked you."
Purgatory Xingjulang obviously misunderstood, and he fell into the mood of self-blame, "Sorry, Lai, the ghost has noticed your existence, whether it is Yiwozao or the ghost king behind him, they may come to you later.
For your safety, I would like to ask you to follow us back to the Demon Slayer Corps."
Since the other party has taken the initiative to ask for help, Rai, who wants to clear the dungeon, has no reason to refuse, but before that, "What is the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Purgatory Anjuro explained various information about the Demon Slayer Corps to her in detail, including which family established the Demon Slayer Corps and what its role was.
Listening to this organization that has existed for hundreds of years, combined with the characteristics of the ghost hunters that Rai met, a blueprint for a passionate comic book with a knife has been constructed in Rai's mind.
After the Demon Slayer Squad, people in need of "relief" like Purgatory Anjurou will continue to appear one after another.
"Okay, I'll join. I'll trouble you from now on, Mr. Purgatory."
After Rai said this, he was stared directly at by Purgatory Anjuro. To be honest, Purgatory Anjuro himself is a cheerful and generous man, but his eyes are like a beast, with a ferocious intrusiveness that will make both and
The person he was looking at became weak unconsciously. Anyway, Rai, who was being stared at by him, always felt that something was wrong with his whole body.
"Did I say something wrong... Mr. Purgatory?"
"No, I was just wondering why Rai didn't call me Anjurou anymore. Did I do something wrong?"
The originally energetic owl suddenly became exhausted.
"If you don't mind me calling you that... Anjuro."
"Yeah! Just call me by my name!"
The smile returned to Purgatory Anjuro's face, shining brightly.
"Although I'm very happy that you can agree to my request, Rai, I still have to be a little wary. Are you alone now? Where are your family members?"
Purgatory Anjuro remembered what Tanjiro Kamado told him - this girl ran away from home, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and cautiously probed.
"They are all in another world."
Ley told the truth.
The air suddenly became quiet. Purgatory Anjuro realized what Rai meant by his words and immediately sat down and said, "I'm sorry!"
Is that really the case? It turns out that my family is no longer here. Is it because I wasn’t familiar with the Kamado boy yet that I gave different explanations...
Purgatory Anjuro automatically completed her brain.
Rai: I knew you would misunderstand...
"Then from now on, I will take care of you!"
Purgatory Anjuro thought about all the miserable experiences Rai had experienced in his mind and made up his mind.
After hearing what he said, the ghost woman standing behind him looked at Purgatory Anjuro and her eyes became strange.
"Ley! Be my stepson!"
step son?
Lay was a little shocked when he heard this word, "You want to be my father?!"
"...Well, in the Demon Slayer Squad, stepson has a different meaning, but it seems good to have a daughter as cute as Rai."
Purgatory Anjuro did not feel the frustration of becoming a father before starting a family, but was eager to give it a try, "It's decided! I will try my best to be a competent father! Rai, you can rely on me as much as you want from now on!"
"..."
At this time, even the ghost woman behind him was speechless.
Once Purgatory Anjuro decides something, he will do his best to achieve his goal no matter how the people around him stop him.
——After getting along with him for such a short period of time, Rai already knew this person’s temperament very well.
Chapter completed!
