"Calculate."
"Would you spend every day lamenting and calculating how few years you have left to live because of this gift from God?"
"will not."
Seeing the confusion and pain in Sanemi's eyes gradually fade away, Yayoi nodded in satisfaction.
"So, Sanemi, I didn't feel sad either."
"Being able to live these extra years is a bonus for me every single day."
"By the way, why don't you ask me what the incantation God made me say when He resurrected me was?"
Even though Sanemi knew Yayoi was just joking around and that the content was completely made up on the spot, he still went along with Yayoi's wishes and honestly asked her again:
What is that incantation?
"Make sure you listen carefully, you might need it someday."
Yayoi cleared her throat, looked at Sanemi with a smile in her eyes, and said, word by word:
"I love you, Sanemi."
Chapter 106 If I can't beat the old, can't I beat the young?
As expected, Yayoi, who had just woken up in the afternoon, was invited by Kagaya to the main residence of Ubuyashiki that evening.
Worried that Yayoi might refuse due to illness, Kagaya specially arranged for Hikari to bring a stretcher.
Yayoi was so angry that she cursed and swore all the way, accusing a certain heartless capitalist of exploiting his employees.
While waiting for Yayoi to arrive at the main house, Kagaya sat in front of the Go board by the light of an oil lamp, facing the crisscrossing black and white Go pieces, and sighed deeply.
My health is deteriorating, and now I can't even go to places that are far away. I need Tianyin to help me find the traces of the descendants of the Jiguo.
With great effort, Kagaya identified the color of the chess piece in his hand and placed it on the board.
A soft "click" sound amplified infinitely in the silent night.
"The black pieces won."
Kagaya looked up in surprise at Yayoi, who was squatting opposite him, intently studying the Go board.
"Ok?"
Yayoi pointed to the black pieces that were connected in a line, "Look, there are five pieces connected in a line here."
“But I’m playing Go, Miss Kuwashima.” Kagaya smiled helplessly and put the second Go stone he was holding back into the Go box.
"Oh."
Yayoi didn't feel embarrassed at all; she just cursed Kagaya inwardly for being a guy with no emotional intelligence, and sat down cross-legged in front of him.
"What do you want, calling me here so late at night?"
Having long been accustomed to Yayoi's attitude, Kagaya was not surprised; on the contrary, he felt more at ease.
He has always been the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. He has been learning to handle many things since he was four years old, and he is respected and sits on a high platform.
Kagaya has almost never felt this sense of "being treated equally" from anyone.
"Want to play a game with me?"
"will not."
"Just go anywhere. I happen to have something to talk to Miss Sangdao about, but talking face to face can be quite boring."
"Do you still have those kinds of snacks from last time?" Yayoi asked casually.
"Tianyin is working on it."
"That's fine."
Yayoi picked up a white stone and placed it on the board.
As soon as Yayoi made his move, he realized that Yayoi was not being modest.
"Miss Sangdao, the chess piece should be placed at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines."
"You're so annoying."
Yayoi rearranged the chess pieces.
The two players each placed one piece, their movements resembling casual conversation between friends during a break in their game.
"What do you want?"
"How is your recovery going?"
"Tell me first whether you want to assign me work."
"No."
"Well, my recovery is going well."
"There is something I need to ask Miss Sangdao."
"Although the external wounds are healing fairly well, but..."
"It's not a task, nor does Miss Kuwashima need to do it immediately."
“But the internal injuries have also healed quite well,” Yayoi immediately changed her tune.
Kagaya chuckled at Yayoi's sudden change of expression, then placed his go stone down and remarked with a sigh:
"Miss Kuwashima is still as frank as when we first met."
"Are you praising me?"
Yayoi looked up suspiciously at Kagaya, whose face was covered with sickly lines, and curiously waved her hand in front of him.
It looks like he's blind.
“Hmm,” Kagaya replied. “My left eye is completely blind, and my right eye’s vision has also deteriorated significantly, but it’s still barely usable.”
"Oh." Yayoi withdrew her hand. "So what exactly did you call me here for?"
"Tianyin has recently been searching for the descendants of the Jiguo lineage on my behalf."
"Tsugikuni? You mean the one whose brother killed the lord and whose brother left the Demon Slayer Corps?" Yayoi lowered her head, studying the contents of the chessboard, not feeling that there was anything wrong with telling such a horror story to the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Kagaya was taken aback by Yayoi's words, then nodded, "Yes, that's right."
Yayoi's thinking was so unconventional that even Kagaya couldn't keep up with her exhaust fumes; she uttered a startling statement:
"It's amazing that those two men can have offspring."
"Cough cough cough..."
Yaoya coughed until his face turned red, and it wasn't until Tenon appeared with some snacks and poured him a glass of water that his cough stopped.
“Miss Kuwashima, to be precise, only the elder brother of those brothers left behind a bloodline, and the surname Tsugikuni has been completely changed. The branch we can find is currently surnamed Tokito.”
Amane placed the snacks in front of Yayoi and answered Yayoi's question on behalf of Kagaya.
"Found them? That's great! Let's just go and bring them to the Demon Slayer Corps."
While chewing on her snacks, Yayoi did give Amane a little face.
"He who eats another's food is bound to him," and what could he do when the older sister's pastries were so delicious?
The kind you can't buy outside.
"This is inappropriate."
Yayoi patiently listened to Amane finish speaking.
"Oh, so we have to get them to join the Demon Slayer Corps willingly."
Yayoi put her hand to her forehead and rolled her eyes where Amane couldn't see.
Unless those two kids are mentally ill, they would never agree to that, right?
What do you mean by saying my ancestors were gifted, and therefore I have to fulfill the unfinished obligations of my ancestors by risking my life to fight the demon king for the sake of the common people?
Isn't this ridiculous?
Hey, so does that mean their ancestor was... Upper Moon One?
Realizing this suddenly, Yayoi immediately perked up.
If I can't beat that old man, can't I at least handle these two little brats?
"Madam Tianyin, you just said that those two little brats splashed water all over you, right?"
"It's not his fault..."
"No! How can the wife of the Demon Slayer Corps' lord be humiliated like this?!" Yayoi said indignantly, leaving the couple opposite her stunned.
They exchanged a glance, and saw horror in each other's eyes.
Yayoi...has been possessed?
When did they start valuing the Demon Slayer Corps' reputation so much?
"Where are those two brats? I'm going to teach them a lesson right now."
Yayoi felt a surge of excitement, wishing she could appear right in front of the two children and give them a good beating.
"Uh……"
Tenon suddenly regretted discussing with Kagaya about letting Yayoi handle the matter.
Seeing Amane's hesitation, Yayoi said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. These two brats will definitely have to work for the Demon Slayer Corps to atone for their sins."
Ichiro's crime doesn't warrant this.
Tianyin thought silently, her lips twitching, unable to manage a smile.
“Miss Kuwashima, while the Demon Slayer Corps is an organization not recognized by the government, it shouldn't be to this extent…”
"I know, I was just kidding," Yayoi laughed it off.
In the end, Yayoi managed to find the exact location and left the main house satisfied with the packaged snacks.
Before leaving, he made sure to tell this sycophantic master not to tell the old man in Taoshan about his facial markings.
