Chapter 137 137
Tanjiro didn't completely leave Ukiya.
Thinking that Wu Mi might come back here at any time to kill or eat the unsuspecting young lady, his footsteps seemed to be rooted, and he was always lingering nearby.
These days, he uses the simplest meals for his three meals - udon noodles and soba noodles on the street, or seaweed rice balls, and he finds a place to stay at night.
Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi is right in front of him, how can he leave?
However, the mansion of Yuxi's family is not a place that one can enter casually.For several days in a row, he just looked at the gate of the mansion from a distance in the corner of the alley, and the sculpture of the Roman maid would not make him blush and heartbeat after looking at it for a long time.
Finally one day--
When Tanjiro was holding the rice ball and observing the people around him wholeheartedly, the door of the mansion opened.The beautiful young lady came out together with several young female companions.They were a few modern girls, their backs wearing cloche hats and wide-brimmed hats looked like clusters of lively cherry blossoms on the branches.
"The driver hasn't come yet! If I knew it, I would have sat for a while."
"Listen to me, the newly opened theater in Ginza is very interesting..."
"Ah, really, the theater is boring!"
Judging from the chirping voices, it was a few young ladies of the Chinese ethnicity who had made an appointment to go out together.Among them, the most eye-catching one is the young woman with blue diamond eyes.The way she smiled, really made the people around her look pale.
She was talking with her female companions, when she raised her eyes occasionally, she saw a red-haired boy sitting on the low wall of the opposite alley, she was stunned, and then said to the female companion beside her: "Ah... ...Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today."
"Eh?" The female companions made a surprised voice, "Yuna, aren't you going to Ginza together?"
"Sorry." She walked away quickly.
The car stopped at the entrance of the mansion, and the young ladies looked at each other, and immediately got into the car chatting and laughing.The car started to drive away, and Yuna walked towards the red-haired boy.
"Tanjiro," she asked, raising the black veil on the brim of her hat, "what are you doing here?"
Tanjiro Kamado, who was sitting on the wall, was startled.
The moment she saw her walking towards him quickly, Tanjirou was already a little nervous.In an instant, those new words that I heard after coming to the big city flooded into my mind-the so-called "lady", the so-called "red cream cake", the so-called "movie", all appeared in a mess.
"Ah, I..." Tanjiro blinked, put down the half-bitten rice ball, and said, "I... I'm on guard against that man named Tsukihiko. I'm afraid he will come back and hurt Miss Yuna again."
Yuna glanced at the pitiful shabby rice ball in his hand, and asked, "In order to protect me, why are you hungry and full, and staying here without sleep?" "You are still a child who is growing up, right? Take a good rest and eat well, otherwise it will be bad for your body."
Hearing this, Tanjiro felt the urge to blush.she is caring about herself
Right?
But, to relate to myself as a child—it always feels weird.
"I'm not a child..." Tanjiro clenched the rice ball in his hand, "When I was at home, I was the one who was responsible for supporting the family."
"Raising a family?" Yuna was a little surprised, "You only look fifteen or sixteen years old, how are you going to support a family?"
"Ah, this," Tanjiro explained, gesturing, "My family has been dealing with charcoal for generations, and I am in charge of selling charcoal. In addition, I can also mow grass and firewood, in short, I can do a little bit of everything."
Thinking of the happy time with his family in the past, Tanjirou's eyes shone slightly.
"Selling charcoal..." The lady of the Uki family showed a look of surprise, "Yes, many people need charcoal. No wonder you are called Tanjiro."
"I can also raise rabbits—knitting a little bit, I learned from my sister and mother." Tanjiro said with fingers, "Because the rabbit's fluff can be sold for money, so my family used to raise rabbits for a while to subsidize the family. ..."
"So, now?" Yuna looked at Tanjirou's attire, "Is Tanjirou still selling charcoal now?"
The smile on Tanjiro's face froze slightly.
Of course, he is no longer the charcoal-selling boy he was in the past.His family was gone, and there was no need for him to hike across the snow-covered mountains to sell charcoal.Today, he wears the uniform of the Ghost Killing Squad and wears the sun wheel knife used to cut down evil spirits, becoming a ghost hunter.
Tanjiro didn't answer for a long time, Yuna tilted her head slightly, with a puzzled look on her face.She guessed that she might have asked about the child's sadness, so she whispered, "Sorry..."
Before the words fell, Yuna heard a loud middle-aged man's voice behind him: "Yuna, who is this man?"
As soon as Yuna turned her head, she found her uncle Ukita Sutsuhide standing not far away.The uncle who is the Marquis of Musk is wearing a top hat and a black cloak on his shoulders, his majestic face is full of solemnity.
"Oh, he's a normal kid," Yuna said.
"Don't associate with such people." Uncle obviously disliked common people.As a hereditary marquis from his elders, he is extremely proud and has an innate sense of superiority over these "ordinary people". "Stay away from him! You are the young lady of the Marquis family, only a man like Yue Yan is worthy of you."
Yuna was a little helpless.It seems that uncle likes Yueyan very much - no wonder uncle likes this, Yueyan's wealth makes even bankers shy away.Who doesn't like money?
"I'm leaving." Yuna waved her hand to Tanjiro, and smiled with crooked eyes, "You have to eat well. By the way, I still like the stories you told, those weaving, selling charcoal, raising Rabbits and stuff... interesting."
After finishing speaking, she walked towards her uncle.

night.
During the Taisho era, Western musical instruments had been introduced to this island country.Therefore, Yuna was able to touch Western musical instruments such as violin and harmonica after a long absence.However, because she had been in the Warring States Period for a long time, she was a little raw.
Fortunately, after many years of practice, she quickly regained her feeling and skillfully played the memorized music on the violin.Just as she was studying the difference between the violins here and the ones she was familiar with, she heard the sound of "duk tuk" from the balcony door.
She walked to the balcony and pushed the heavy door open.
Frosted glass door.It was dark outside, and the round dance of stars scattered across the sky.There is a tall pine tree outside the balcony with Roman-style railings. The strong and thick pine branches have been over the wall and reached the edge of the balcony.Tanjirou Kamado was kneeling on the strong branch, holding a small stone in his hand.
"Tanjirou..." Yuna was a little surprised.
How did he climb such a high branch?
"Miss Yuna!" Tanjiro smiled happily when he saw her walking on the balcony, "I want to give you something." He said, squatting down, and walked forward along the thick pine branch took two steps.
"Give me what?" Yuna was a little puzzled.
But in Tanjirou's hands, he carefully held out a hair crown—it didn't look like a hair crown, but more like a wreath.The wreath composed of leaves, slender soft branches and fine frangipani is delicate, slender and lovely, which amazes the ingenuity of the maker.
"It's beautiful." She exclaimed, "Is it for me?"
Tanjiro nodded: "Didn't Miss Yuna say that knitting and raising rabbits...is fun? I just made this. That...Thank you for the red-red-kulam cake."
"It's 'Red Cream Cake'. 'クリームケーキ'."
"Yes! Red kulam cake."
"..."
Although it was very funny, seeing Tanjiro seriously pronouncing the foreign language, she was too embarrassed to laugh out loud.
She propped her hands on the railing of the balcony, holding her cheeks, with a look of wanting to smile but not daring to smile; those blue eyes were like a curtain woven by the sea and the night sky, in which the stars twinkled, and she still loved her. Golden moonlight.Tanjiro looked at her face, his heart beating fast.Then, he couldn't help—
Stretching out his hands, he took the initiative to put the braided hair crown on top of her head.
Just the right size and fit.Yuna touched the top of her hair and smiled brightly: "Thank you, brother Tanjiro."
Tanjiro was smiling foolishly, but when he heard the word "brother", he almost fell off the branch.But after thinking about it, Miss Yuna should be many years older than herself, maybe ten years old-it is normal for her to call herself "brother".
Brother...
Brother.
Tanjiro couldn't help laughing.
Just when he was struggling with the title "brother", he smelled something at the end of his nose, which made him froze.
—It's the smell of ghosts.
Kamado Tanjiro has a sharper sense of smell than ordinary humans, and can distinguish ghosts from humans by smell.At this moment, he clearly smelled the aura of Oni Wu Tsuji Wuyou—the aura of evil ghosts full of death and blood, and there was no one else except Wu Mi.
"Miss Yuna!" Tanjiro's complexion changed, "This place is very dangerous..."
The next moment, there was a knock on the door of Yuna's room.A maid smiled and said, "Miss, Mr. Yueyan is here."
Yuna quickly made a "hush" gesture on her lips, and said with a quick smile to Tanjiro, "Let's play with you next time, Tanjiro! I'm going down." After finishing speaking, she hurriedly moved the The balcony door was closed.
"Wait—" Tanjiro's call did not reach her ears at all.

Yuna walked down the corridor and stairs to the first floor, and she saw Tsukihiko standing at the gate, taking off her suit jacket and hat and handing them to the servants.
"Miss, how are you these days?" He smiled gently and took off his black gloves slowly.The gray vest is straight, with a brooch pinned to the front breast pocket, looking gentle.
"Everything is fine." Zhang Zi, the maid, hung his suit coat on the coat rack very graciously.
"That's good." Yue Yan half closed his eyes, and there was a slight smile in his dark red eyes, "I haven't visited her for several days, and I'm worried that Yuna will be angry with me."
Yuna walked down the last few steps and said jokingly, "If you don't come again, I'm afraid I will really be angry."
Yue Yan raised his head, revealing that impeccable face.This face makes every Chinese lady in Tokyo turn upside down - flawless facial features, deep, gentle and dedicated feelings are all written on this face.
When he saw the hair crown Yuna was wearing, his eyes were rather novel: "Flower crown? You rarely wear such things."
Yuna touched the top of her hair and said with a smile, "Isn't it pretty?"
Tsukihiko nodded; "Very cute. Are you preparing to meet me?"
Yuna blinked and smiled, "What do you think?"
Tsukihiko laughed silently.He bent down, took the back of her hand and kissed lightly, and said, "I guess, yes."
