"Normally Sesshomaru doesn't need to eat much, but now that he's injured, eating more meat and getting more nutrition will definitely benefit him if he wants to recover quickly. Even if the benefit isn't huge, it's still useful."
"Despite Sesshomaru's cold and firm refusal, the little girl was equally stubborn. She shook her head, turned and ran away, leaving the food behind."
Watching the other person leave, Sesshomaru suppressed the slight tenderness that had involuntarily surfaced, his gaze sharpening: "How long are those cowards going to keep hiding?"
"I think I should be considered your friend—or have you forgotten me after fifty years, Sesshomaru?"
"Having his whereabouts exposed, Shirogane Miyuki simply walked out openly. Seeing his appearance and somewhat familiar scent, Sesshomaru remembered the battle fifty years ago, and his killing intent quietly dissipated."
Shirogane Miyuki smiled and waved at him: "Long time no see, Sesshomaru."
"..." Sesshomaru remained silent, turning his head slightly away and tilting his body to try his best to cover his empty left sleeve.
"After fifty years, he has fallen into such a sorry state. It's really shameful."
To prevent Shirogane Miyuki from discussing his injuries, Sesshomaru unusually took the initiative to ask, "You didn't become a demon, and you don't harbor resentment. Fifty years have passed, yet you're still so young as a human... What happened to you?"
"You've probably noticed too, my spiritual power is almost the same as when we parted ways."
"As he spoke, Shirogane Miyuki moved closer. Considering Sesshomaru's pride, he sat to the man's right and avoided glancing at Sesshomaru's left sleeve."
"It all started with the Well of Bones..."
"If it were those ambitious people, Shirogane Miyuki wouldn't reveal a word about the existence of the Bone-Eater's Well. But Sesshomaru is extremely arrogant and doesn't even care about the Shikon Jewel, so of course he wouldn't have any designs on the Bone-Eater's Well."
"As he was speaking, Shirogane Mikoto casually picked up the food the little girl had brought him, ate it with relish, and then handed some to Sesshomaru."
"In this way, Sesshomaru forgot about suppressing his emotions and naturally started eating as well."
"Although I feel a little sorry for that little girl, with him there, Sesshomaru would never eat it if he didn't eat it first; he'd rather let it rot."
"After discussing the cause and effect and expressing that he was aware of the fierce rivalry between the two brothers, Shirogane Miyuki carefully chose his words and began to get involved."
554. The Silver Emperor is the link and intermediary.
"Fifty years ago, I traveled around with friends and saw many monsters and priestesses, but none of those priestesses who could rule over a region could compare to Kikyo."
"Shirogane Miyuki's observation skills and emotional intelligence are not particularly outstanding, but once the conflict has been brought to light, he has a great deal of room to maneuver."
"He once used his words to enlighten two problem children, Yu Ishigami and Miko Iino, as if clearing away the clouds and seeing the sun. He has excellent eloquence as the student council president."
"What we need now is not to condemn Sesshomaru for not fulfilling his duties as an older brother—that would only fuel his pride and arrogance, and it's not impossible that he might break off all ties with us in a fit of anger."
"Shirogane Mikoto took a roundabout approach: 'Kikyo's power was unmatched fifty years ago. Her strength among the priestesses was like yours among the demons, Sesshomaru.'"
"By explaining Kikyo's strength, Sesshomaru understood that it was not a disgrace for Inuyasha to be sealed by a human priestess, nor was it because Inuyasha was too weak and thus disgraced the Toga family, but rather because the enemy was too powerful."
Sesshomaru, of course, understood his subtext and didn't intend to deny it: "I've heard of the priestess who guards the Shikon Jewel."
"But Miyuki Shirogane was disheartened. If Sesshomaru hadn't known how strong Kikyo was beforehand, he could have used this opportunity to correct him and dispel Sesshomaru's disdain for Inuyasha."
"But since he already knew and still has this attitude, then this is troublesome."
"I disdain to look at weak humans." Before the clueless Miyuki Shirogane could even think of other solutions, Sesshomaru had already taken the initiative and said a few words.
With an indifferent expression, he spoke scathingly, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, "There are indeed some humans who possess some ability or intelligence, but they are far too few, and human stupidity displeases me. There are always weak fools among demons, but demons should ultimately associate with other demons."
"Shirogane Miyuki wasn't angry at his mockery of humanity's weakness and stupidity; instead, he sighed, unable to find a rebuttal."
"Because what Sesshomaru said is indeed the truth in this world and this era."
"When it comes to the minimum standard and average quality, how can humans compare to yokai? Even if we take Shippo, who is so weak that he can be chased and killed by ordinary yokai at will, as an example, Shippo, who is at the bottom of the yokai world, as an example, in reality, if Shippo gets serious, he can easily take down several strong human men."
"Not to mention, even highly accomplished monks among humans, if they don't use some unorthodox methods to prolong their lifespan, can only live for a little over a hundred years, while any demon can live for at least several hundred years."
"In terms of both natural strength and lifespan, humans are inferior to monsters; this is an indelible fact."
"And the so-called ignorance naturally refers to the fact that humans would offend Sesshomaru."
"When demons see Sesshomaru, they immediately sense his immense and noble demonic aura. They either flee in terror or submit to him. Very few are blind enough to dare to challenge him."
"But ordinary people don't have the ability to detect demonic energy. In this era of war and bandits, Sesshomaru would probably have encountered hundreds or even thousands of human bandits and samurai who deliberately offended him while traveling outside."
"In comparison, humans are indeed more foolish than monsters."
"Over time, it's only natural that Sesshomaru, who is already fed up with humans, would grow increasingly dislike them."
"...Under these circumstances, Shirogane Miyuki believes that if he hadn't become friends with Sesshomaru fifty years ago, Sesshomaru's reputation wouldn't be so mild now."
"They might say things like, 'Only useless half-demons would associate with humans,' which completely belittle all of humanity."
"Instead of leaving room for maneuver as it is now, praising a portion of humanity, saying, 'There are some people among humanity who are capable or intelligent,' which is actually referring to Kikyo and Shirogane Miyuki."
"In summary, Sesshomaru's conflict with Inuyasha stems from two aspects: firstly, he wants to obtain the Tessaiga to gain his father's approval, and secondly, he is displeased with Inuyasha's constant interaction with all sorts of humans."
"If Sesshomaru can change his view of humans, then most of the conflict between him and Inuyasha will be resolved."
"If Sesshomaru lived in a peaceful modern country for a few years and experienced how gentle and kind people are after their material needs are met, no one would bother to pick a fight with him. At that time, he should have a much different view of humans."
"But whether Sesshomaru can cross the Well of Bones is unknown."
"Compared to that, Shirogane Miyuki thought there was a better way—he turned his gaze to the direction in which the little girl had just left."
"Sesshomaru has been lying here seriously injured for several days. The little girl just now made such a familiar way of the place, so it's obvious that this wasn't the first time she'd brought him food."
"Sesshomaru clearly doesn't reject her... Shirogane Miyuki feels that if he were willing to stay with Sesshomaru, he could subtly change some of Sesshomaru's views. Unfortunately, he doesn't have that time."
"That kind little girl should be able to take on this role in my place."
"Hey, hey, are you kidding me? Isn't that kid Ling?"
In the ordinary village, people stared wide-eyed at each other, bewildered. Some had already grabbed Ling, and looking at the somewhat frightened Ling, they were at a loss for what to do.
Several women, jealous that Rin had gained the favor of a proud and noble young master like Sesshomaru, urged, "Should we execute her? How could she sympathize with a demon? If she accidentally leads a demon into the village, we'll all be doomed!"
The village chief thought for a moment and shook his head: "This... let's leave it at that for now. If this child does anything that harms everyone later, then we'll decide on a case."
Who knows if Sesshomaru, somewhere in the world right now, will come looking for Rin after seeing the light screen in the sky?
They executed Rin, and when Sesshomaru arrived with only a skeleton left, they didn't get the result they wanted. What would happen then? That would be unimaginable consequences.
Ling, who was mute but not deaf, breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing everyone agree with the village chief's decision. She then looked up at the sky, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
For some reason, she just liked Lord Sesshomaru. The moment she saw him, she felt a strong sense of security, which made her heart flutter.
"Ah, ah, Sesshomaru... Lord..."
In her trembling state, Rin, having survived a near-death experience, has finally regained her ability to speak and called out Sesshomaru's name.
555. Steel Teeth Must Die
"This... is truly shameful."
Inside Shuchiin Academy, they had already arrived at the high school section, but had no intention of approaching the student council office. Shirogane Kei's expression was quite interesting; he bit his lip and lowered his head slightly.
Seeing what her older brother was doing to maintain harmony between the two brothers reminded her of how arrogant she had been towards him before.
She can't help but praise her brother to her friends, but in front of him, she seems to be owed two million, showing signs of some sibling discord.
I imagine that back then, the older brother must have been quite troubled, and occasionally he would try to find ways to improve the relationship between the siblings, just like he did with Sesshomaru.
So right now she feels like she's looking in a mirror, very ashamed, and also a little...
"Waaah, waaah..."
The sound of half-crying interrupted Bai Yin Gui's thoughts. She was stunned for a moment, looked around, and saw a pretty senior student squatting alone nearby, her face full of struggle.
At this time, all the Shuchiin students had already gone to the vicinity of the high school student council, wanting to get closer to Shirogane Miyuki.
The one that's now alone here has clearly wandered off on purpose.
Shirogane Kei crept closer, eavesdropping on the senior's tearful monologue.
"W-What should I do? Even though Yu-kun likes me, I have no idea if I can accept him. My phobia is still there. In that case, it's not so bad that Yu-kun is with Iino-san, but why does my nose feel so sore and painful..."
"It's Senior Ziya!"
Bai Yingui's sudden realization made Zi Yanyan jump in fright. She turned around in fright and instinctively tried to run away.
Koyasu Tsubame, who was being eavesdropped on, was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground. This shame, however, made Shirogane Kei feel closer to her. Moreover, in order to make up for her inappropriate act of eavesdropping, she quickly called out to Koyasu Tsubame to stay.
"Wait! Koyasu-senpai! I'm my brother's sister—I'm Shirogane Kei, Shirogane Miyuki's sister. If you don't know whether you like Ishigami-senpai or not, I can talk to you about it and we can discuss it together!"
"This...this kind of thing—"
Zi'an Yan blushed, perhaps because Bai Yingui's tone was so sincere. After hesitating for a long time, she finally stopped and shyly looked up at Bai Yingui.
Originally, she didn't have any special feelings for Ishigami Yu, only regarding him as a very good junior. However, when Shirogane Miyuki revealed that Ishigami Yu liked her, he also revealed the secret that Ishigami Yu was a hero.
Two shocks hit her at once: the secret of the hero increased her affection for Ishigami Yu, while the news that she liked him forced her to transform her affection for Ishigami Yu into romantic feelings.
Then came the coercion from Iino Miko.
Under the influence of these external and internal forces, Koyasu Tsubame, who originally could not accept Ishigami Yu, now completely doesn't understand what kind of feelings she has for Ishigami Yu.
She felt she really needed to have a good talk with a girl who understood these things, and needed some advice.
Seeing Koyasu-senpai so conflicted, Shirogane Kei suddenly remembered that Ishigami-senpai and Iino-senpai were the same age and grade, and his own brother was the same age and grade as Shinomiya-senpai.
Miss Tsubaki is older than her brother, and Senior Koyasu is older than Senior Ishigami.
Upon realizing this, Bai Yingui's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he clenched his fist and raised it to the sky with a powerful and resounding voice:
"You and Ishigami-senpai are a match made in heaven. There's absolutely no need to hesitate. Go and be with him, Koyasu-senpai!!"
"—Eh!?"
Meanwhile, outside Shuchiin, everyone's attention was focused on Sesshomaru, whose derogatory attitude towards humans was extremely infuriating.
While this level of arrogance and disdain for others might not be enough to make someone want to kill him, there are definitely quite a few people who are sharpening their knives, thinking about giving him a good beating after the world merges.
Among them were the Sword Demon Wilhelm and the Optimal Knight Julius, two equally proud and powerful swordsmen who could not tolerate anyone insulting humanity in this way.
In the Sengoku period of Inuyasha, there was also someone who wanted to uphold human dignity and deal with Sesshomaru, namely the enlightened monk, Shinsen, who sealed away Rengoku and the demon horse Ente.
In his youth, he was a powerful being who could fight a strong monster like Yan Ti head-on for three days and three nights and win. In the past few decades, he was one of the top five strongest humans.
However, he is now old and his strength has declined a lot. He is not as strong as he used to be and feels that he is probably no longer able to match Sesshomaru. He couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time that the monk Shenquan sighed, in the territory of the wolf demon clan, Gangya laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Well said. I used to hate you, you arrogant guy, but it seems you have some good points after all, Sesshomaru."
"Humans are nothing more than mobile food supplies for us demons, and we should look down on them. In fact, I've taken this to an even deeper level, Sesshomaru, hahaha!"
As he laughed, human corpses littered the wolf clan's lair, and his men were dismembering and eating a terrified human alive.
