He flung his sleeves and left the main residence of the burial house, leaving only Kōchin standing there in a daze.
“Sanemi…”
Kuang Jin tried to stop Shimi, but Shimi was walking too fast, and Kuang Jin couldn't even grab a corner of his clothes.
After venting his emotions, Sanemi left. Kurokin did not immediately chase after him, but knelt down on one knee facing Kagaya to apologize on Sanemi's behalf.
"Please forgive Sanemi's sins, he was just..."
“It’s alright, Kuang Jin.” Kagaya’s voice was still as gentle as a spring breeze. “I know that Sanemi was just worried about Miss Kuwajima. I won’t blame him.”
“If it weren’t for the severe shortage of manpower, I wouldn’t want Miss Sangdao and Miss Butterfly to carry out such a dangerous mission.”
Yaozai's face was full of self-reproach, which made Kuang Jin feel even more ashamed.
She couldn't help but condemn Sanemi's recklessness; how could he say such offensive things to such a gentle lord?
"Alright, Kuang Jin, get up now. Please go and calm Shimi down for me."
"Could you grant me this request, Kuang Jin?"
"I would gladly die ten thousand deaths."
Having accepted what was not exactly a request from Kagaya, Kurokichi hurriedly left the main house and followed the direction Sanemi had gone.
They chased him all the way to the gate of the camp, but still couldn't find any trace of Sanemi.
Where did he go? Could he have gone to find Yayoi and the others?
Kuang Jin was right. Sanemi, who had just left the main house, ran right into Shinobu Kocho, who was also furious.
Ever since Kanae accepted this mission, Shinobu Kocho has been restless and uneasy.
Contrary to her usual behavior, her sister refused to go on the mission with her, and to prevent her from sneaking off, she specifically assigned the task of taking care of several patients to her.
Throughout the entire afternoon and most of the evening, Shinobu Kocho was unable to calm her restless heart.
"Hey!" Shinobu called out to Sanemi, who was hurrying to leave.
"What are you doing!"
Sanemi, who was in a fit of anger, did not restrain himself at all. He only refrained from saying anything harsh because Shinobu was a girl.
"You're also going to find Yayoi and her sister, right? I know where they are. Shall we go together?"
"Row."
One is eager to know Yayoi's whereabouts, while the other wants to abduct a powerful fighter to support his sister.
The two hit it off immediately, turned around, and sped off toward the mission location that Shinobu had inadvertently glanced at.
Sanemi didn't experience any discomfort from the long journey, but Shinobu Kocho was clearly starting to feel physically exhausted.
Sanemi, not wanting to waste time, grabbed Shinobu Kocho by the collar of her uniform and continued on their way.
"Hey! Put me down!"
Shinobu Kocho felt offended by Sanemi. With her sister on her mind, she disregarded her teammates and the hierarchy between the Pillars, grabbed Sanemi's arm, and kicked him.
"Stay put! The sooner you get there, the sooner you can help them!"
Sanemi's angry roar brought Shinobu Kocho back to her senses, which had been overwhelmed by rage.
That's right, arriving early will reduce the risk to my sister.
Shinobu stopped struggling and let Sanemi grab her by the collar and carry her swiftly through the mountains and forests.
Outside the alley, Kanae, who had been kicked away from the battlefield by Yayoi, watched helplessly as Yayoi single-handedly stopped Doma, who was trying to unleash his Blood Demon Art on her.
After landing, Kanae vomited a mouthful of blood.
It's likely that the spleen has ruptured.
Kanae performed a preliminary diagnosis on herself, focused her mind, used breathing techniques to locate the bleeding point, and quickly stopped the bleeding.
With time running out, Kanae only had time to stop the bleeding from the most severe spot.
Clutching his injured abdomen, he forced himself to stand up and staggered away from the alley.
At this point, acting impulsively and going back would truly be a betrayal of the opportunity Yayoi had risked her life to deliver the information.
Kanae clutched her abdomen, which was throbbing with pain that nearly made her faint, and mechanically repeated the motion of taking steps forward.
Faster, faster.
Arrive at the nearest wisteria-covered house and ask a nearby Pillar-level swordsman for help to rescue Yayoi.
Go faster!
The sky was beginning to lighten, and dawn was just minutes away. Kanae dared not think about whether Yayoi was still alive at that moment.
Two figures appeared at the end of the road.
When they saw Kanae, who was covered in wounds and struggling to move while vomiting blood, Sanemi and Shinobu Kocho's hearts sank.
"elder sister!"
Shinobu, with a strength she didn't know she possessed, broke free from Sanemi and moved so fast she almost fell to the ground as she approached Kanae.
A familiar voice, a familiar figure.
Kanae could no longer hold on and collapsed to her knees, spitting out another mouthful of blood onto Shinobu Kocho.
"Go save Yayoi, save her..."
"The alley ahead."
"Wind up two..."
Kanae clutched Shinobu's uniform, rested her chin on Shinobu's shoulder, and struggled to stay conscious as she spoke to Sanemi.
Sanemi listened with a frown, then bypassed the Butterfly Sisters and rushed straight in the direction Kanae had indicated.
After confirming that Sanemi would indeed go to support Yayoi, Kanae completely fainted.
"Sister, sister!"
Chapter 100 Please Don't Demote Gods Casually
Sanemi dared not recall how she felt when she appeared at the alley entrance and saw so many icicles about to fall from the sky and pierce Yayoi.
His heart nearly stopped beating.
He almost witnessed Mi's death right before his eyes.
Luckily, I made it in time, just before the last second.
Hearing the crisp sound of the Nichirin Blade hitting the ground behind him, Sanemi didn't hesitate for a moment, turned around and knelt down to catch the falling Yayoi.
He held Yayoi's shoulders with both hands, the fabric under his palms was soaked, and blood stained his fingers, winding down the back of his hands and onto his arms.
Yayoi's body was covered in wounds; there was hardly a patch of uninjured flesh on her body.
He was far more disheveled than when he first met her.
"Yayoi——!"
Sanemi dared not let Yayoi fall asleep in his arms, fearing that she might never wake up again.
"No, buddy, you're so noisy."
"I know you have a large lung capacity, but could you please leave my head alone? It's buzzing right now."
Having recovered, Yayoi didn't open her eyes. Although her voice wasn't loud, it was clear and articulate, conveying her thoughts to Sanemi:
I'm still alive, shut up.
Sanemi's hands were trembling as he carried Yayoi in his arms and ran toward the nearest house with wisteria blossoms.
"Slow down, I get carsick!" Yayoi pressed her forehead against Sanemi's shoulder, her eyes tightly closed, her face pale.
Sanemi ignored him and did not slow down at all.
"It's okay, if you feel dizzy, just throw up on me."
Yayoi didn't reply, which made Sanemi panic, and his voice trembled:
"Yayoi, Yayoi, please, please talk to me..."
"I don't want to talk about it, I'm a little tired."
"Then I'll talk, you just listen and respond to me occasionally." Sanemi kept walking, forcing Yayoi to participate in the conversation and stay conscious.
Actually, I lied to you.
"Hmm?" Yayoi perked up, pricking up her ears to hear what this bastard was hiding from her.
Actually, I liked you much earlier than I told you.
"How early?"
"At first glance."
"Oh."
It's only natural to fall in love with your mother. Even if Sanemi said he fell in love with her from the womb, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
Yayoi thought to herself.
"I was young then and didn't know that this feeling was love. Also, because of the inferiority complex brought about by poverty, I was unwilling to face this feeling."
"I think I fell in love with you at first sight, Yayoi."
Yayoi rested her forehead on Sanemi's shoulder again, and pouted, "So what if you're lustful? Why make it sound so nice?"
The criticism was quite harsh, but Sanemi's lips curled upwards in an unusual way.
That's good. As long as Yayoi still has the energy to complain about this, she won't leave her forever.
Seeing that this topic was effective, Sanemi continued talking, trying to keep Yayoi's attention:
"Then came the things you did, Yayoi. Although you kept saying it wasn't for me, but for Mom, but..."
"Every single one of them makes my heart flutter."
“At that time, I thought that perhaps Yayoi was an angel sent by God to take me away from suffering.”
