Today, the atmosphere in Butterfly House is too heavy. The creator of this depressing atmosphere - Butterfly Ninja has been wearing a devil-like death smile since he came back from the impromptu Hashira meeting. Looking at it from a distance, that

The black gas emanating frightened the injured and patients, who were usually quite noisy, to the point where they did not dare to say a word.

Xiaoqing was confused, "What's going on, Mr. Ren?"

Xiaocheng, "It must be the reason why Master Lai is leaving. Today I saw Master Lai packing his luggage."

Raisu was shocked, "What? Rai-sama is leaving!"

Xiao Cheng said proudly: "Lord Rai temporarily left the Butterfly House to save more people!"

"I see..." Even though he was extremely reluctant to give up, Lai Sui still nodded to express his understanding, "I hope Master Lai will be safe on his journey."

"It's okay. Lord Rai told me that there will be a pillar to protect her safety at all times, so let's not worry." Xiao Cheng, who knew the internal information in advance, waved her hand to let the two of them relax.

"Who is that famous pillar?" Xiaoqing asked.

Xiao Cheng said a name, and then the three of them paused together. They seemed to know the reason why Butterfly Ren was in such a bad mood.

When asked by Ubuyashiki Yōya which Hashira he wanted to accompany him, for some unspeakable reasons, Rai felt that maybe he was the most suitable candidate——

"Please give me your advice in the future, Mr. Tomioka."

Carrying a wooden box containing luggage and surgical tools, Rai arrived at the meeting point, where Tomioka Giyuu was already waiting for her. Looking at his handsome back holding a knife, Rai was a little confused. This person didn't even need to bring a change of clothes.

Of?

Tomioka Giyuu looked at Rai with a somewhat complicated look. Yesterday, at the Hashira meeting held urgently by the Lord, the Lord made a special arrangement regarding the need for a Hashira to accompany Rai when traveling. As soon as this was said, Butterfly

Shinobu and Infernal Anjuro bore the brunt and recommended themselves almost at the same time.

"Please leave it to me! My lord!" 2

Look, even the words they say are exactly the same.

"Hmm! I have known Lai the longest among all of them. I will treat Lai as my own sister and protect her with my life!"

"Having said that, Rai is a girl after all. Mr. Purgatory can't take care of some things properly. It would be better to leave it to me, who is also a woman."

The eyes of Purgatory Anjuro and Butterfly Ninja met, and neither one was willing to give in.

At this time, other pillars also rushed to join the battlefield.

Yu Sui Tianyuan, "In terms of the number of women, my three wives can definitely take good care of the little doctor!"

Mitsuri Kanroji said, "I, I can too, I can take Rai to eat a lot of delicious food!"

Upon hearing what Mitsuri Kanroji said, Iguro Kobanai, who always felt that if she was elected, would not see her for a long time, hurriedly expressed his opinion, "It is too dangerous to go out with only two girls, let me accompany you."

Let’s go to Ganlu Temple together!”

Iguro Kobanai seems to have forgotten that in terms of strength alone, he can't compare to Mitsuri Kanroji, who has eight times the arm strength of an ordinary person.

"It's okay if you let me come."

Muichiro Tokitou didn't want to argue, he was just showing his attitude. He didn't mind getting along with the benefactor who saved his lord's life.

"Tsk, does that guy know that this is dangerous..."

Fusukawa Saneya looked disgusted, but he still volunteered, "Lord, let me do it! If Kibutsuji Muzan really targets her, I will protect her even if we die together."

"In order to help the world, he is willing to put himself into dangerous situations... What a good boy."

Yanzhu was moved to tears.

Everyone more or less expressed their concerns about Ley going out for training, but this did not mean to stop her from doing such seemingly irrational behavior. On the contrary, they all admired Ley's idea from the bottom of their hearts.

So everyone wants to do their best to help the little doctor who cured the entire Demon Slayer Squad.

Tomioka Giyuu had the same idea, but he didn't have the self-confidence that others had to protect the precious little doctor. He was too weak.

Tomioka Giyu, who was sitting silently in the corner, seemed out of place with the people on the other side who were arguing and about to get into a fight.

"Everyone is interested."

Ubuyashiki Yōya smiled and said: "I have already consulted Rai for his opinion on this matter."

Ubuyashiki Yōya turned his attention to Tomioka Giyu, who was a little far away from the other pillars, "Giyu, can I leave it to you?"

Tomioka Giyuu was stunned and didn't react at all.

Others, "..."

Others, “?!!”

Wait! Did they hear that right?!!

"It was Rai himself who pointed him out as a volunteer."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said with a smile.

——Recalling this point, Tomioka Yoshiyuki's mood is very complicated, probably between the joy of "It turns out she likes me so much, it's great that I'm not hated", and "But I'm too weak, can I really protect her?"

"Among the doubts.

In the end, it directly evolved into the determination of "I will protect her even if I take this life!"

Despite the rich inner drama, Tomioka Yoshiyuki still had a calm expression on his face. Even when Rai took the initiative to come over and say hello to him, his attitude could be said to be extremely cold.

"Now that you're ready, let's go."

After saying these words, Tomioka Giyuu took steps to walk.

Ley followed him with the box on his back. He was relieved that he was walking with such a quiet person.

If a man was as passionate as Purgatory Anjuro, his eyes would have been completely glued to her along the way.

Yes, but completely unnecessary.

The more indifferent a person is, the more conducive it is for Lai to plan things that are inconvenient to talk about.

——This is why she chose Tomioka Giyu without any hesitation.

Along the way, the two of them barely spoke. Tomioka Giyuu was distracted and alert to the surrounding environment, and Rai was thinking about other things, until——

Rai felt that the weight accumulated on his body suddenly disappeared...

"Mr. Tomioka?"

Rai looked at Tomioka Giyuu in confusion as he took away the box she was carrying.

Tomioka Giyuu did not return the box to her, but carried it on his body, and then said to Rai: "Purgatory said, you are weak now."

Rai was speechless immediately, "..."

This is really a misleading statement.

"No, no! Yiyong learned from Mr. Purgatory that Rai you lost your strength in order to save the Lord. Before leaving, he was asked by many people to take good care of you, so just now Yiyong

I saw that the box you were carrying seemed heavy, Rai, so I wanted to help you. He definitely had no intention of driving a wedge between you and Mr. Purgatory!"

Sister Tomioka explained to Rai anxiously.

I know, I know, sister, please slow down, it’s really hard on you to have such a little brother who can’t speak.

At this time, if you seriously wanted to argue with Tomioka Giyu, you would lose. Rai pretended that he had not heard anything and only expressed his thoughts on the actions Tomioka Giyuu took, "Mr. Tomioka wants to help me."

Carry your luggage? Thank you."

"……You're welcome."

Giyu Tomioka, who rarely received outright gratitude from others, was stunned. He didn't know why many times in the past he meant well, but others were so angry that they wanted to fight him with a sword. Fortunately, Rai did not misunderstand him.

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with his way of expressing it.

Sister Tomioka patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your tolerance, Rai."

Rai blinked in the direction of Tomioka-san. In fact, Tomioka-san's worries were unnecessary. She just had low emotional intelligence and was not in the range of what she disliked.

In order to reassure his sister who was worried about her younger brother, the light-weight Rai took the initiative to approach Tomioka Giyu, and his small hand secretly touched the calloused big hand.

The small soft touch made Tomioka Yoshiyuki shudder, and his eyes turned down to meet Rai's pure and smiling eyes.

"It's easier to get lost if you hold hands. Can I hold Mr. Tomioka's hand?"

Rai asked.

It seemed to make sense... Tomioka Giyu, who prioritized protecting Rai's life, did not refuse. He wrapped his big hands around his small ones and held them tightly.

The temperature belonging to the girl in the palm of my hand was so warm, and a touch of warmth surged into Tomioka Yoshiyuki's heart.

——

When we walked to a village, it was already approaching dusk. Tomioka Giyu found the Wisteria House in this village. It was a very safe place where he could rest and not be afraid of ghost attacks at night. If he was alone, Tomioka Giyu

It doesn't matter where you deal with him. Sometimes he can just rest against a big tree, but with the addition of Rai, he can't be so casual.

"I'm going out to see if there are any hidden ghosts in this village. You just stay here."

After arriving at Wisteria House, Tomioka Giyu left her here and prepared to go out again, "Go to bed early."

"Okay, Mr. Tomioka, I will stay here well. You can go on inspection without any worries. I wish you good luck in martial arts."

Rai's obedient response was beyond Tomioka's expectations. He was still worried about how to persuade her to stay here peacefully, but he didn't expect that it would be useless. Although Rai was indeed an obedient child before, Tomioka still felt that
