I, who became an avatar, just want to survive

Kanae, who was following behind him, had a big mask on her head.

"Although it's not very realistic, Olivia still advises you to give up competing with Zhengu for favor." Olivia's voice was like a snowflake that overwhelmed the last flame of fire in the cold winter, "Sister and Zhengu are basically locked together."

"Aren't you angry?" Kanae bit her handkerchief. "We have lived with Xiaoyu longer than Zhengu. After they confirmed their relationship, didn't your status also decline?"

"Huh?" Olivia's face was full of confusion. "Don't bring your love affair to Olivia. Olivia likes her sister, but this is family love. Do you understand family love? Family love is above love."

"Stop pretending. Your hands are running out of blood." Kanae glanced at Olivia's pale hands.

"Olivia is a puppet, and puppets don't have blood!" Although she said that, Olivia still hurriedly put her hands behind her back.

"So that's it... Miss Shinobu Kocho just wants me to know the difference between love and family affection." Tanjiro clapped his left hand with his right hand, suddenly realizing.

"If you talk too much, I'll throw you out!" Kanae and Olivia said in unison, scaring Tanjiro so much that he quickly covered his mouth.

While Lin Yu and Zhen Gu were relaxing, in an uninhabited, dilapidated house not far from here, Kokushibo was staring at himself in the mirror in a daze.

I kept recalling what Lin Yu said last night in my mind.

Can't learn the breathing of the sun...

It turns out that there are swordsmen in this world who cannot master the Breathing of the Sun except me.

She and I are both defective products abandoned by the sun.

Recalling the scene where Lin Yu clumsily used the Breath of the Moon to attack him again and again.

Lin Yu in the picture gradually turned into Kokushibo himself.

When he first created the Breath of the Moon, he was fighting the enemy clumsily amid everyone's laughter.

"Moon Breathing? What is that? You didn't learn this breathing technique from a demon!" Although he could no longer remember the appearance of the person who said this, this sentence has been engraved in Kokushibo's mind.

Drawing out the Demon Blade, Kokushibo closed his eyes again.

The purpose of becoming a demon was to prove that the Breathing of the Moon was not inferior to the Breathing of the Sun by Yoriichi Tsugakuni, but after the last battle with Yoriichi Tsugakuni ended in failure, Kokushibo's time stopped.

Even though he slaughtered all the users of Breathing of the Sun in the end, Kokushibo was still not satisfied.

After all, his goal is to defeat Yoshikazu Tsuchikuni.

But Tsugikoku Yoshiichi...was already dead after he delivered the blow that defeated him.

Since then, Kokushibo has isolated himself.

Now that he thinks about it, after Ji Guoyuan's death, his experiences over the past few hundred years combined are not even as fulfilling as the battles with Lin Yu that made him feel more alive.

Yes, in the repeated battles with Lin Yu, Kokushibo felt that the time that had stood still began to flow again.

But this time it's not to prove anything.

But... to find proof that he is still alive in Lin Yu.

The hand not holding the sword gently touched the heart.

Even though the heart has stopped beating, Kokushibo has a strong feeling that he is still alive.

This feeling was so strong for the first time since the death of Yuichiro Tsuchiya.

He didn't know why. The two of them were just using the same breathing method, and they had decided to kill each other before coming, but now Kokushibo was confused.

For some reason, this knife can never really cut.

Am I broken?

No...no, the me now is the real me.

Kokushibo opened his eyes. Let me witness how far Lin Yu can go.

Is it a transparent world? Or... is it the final pattern?

Speaking of markings... Kokushibo rubbed the marking on the right side of his neck, which was opened under the influence of Yoriichi Tsugakuin.

Anyone who has opened the mark cannot live past the age of 25. Kokushibo chose to become a demon because he was afraid that time was too short for him to surpass Tsugikoku Yoriichi.

"Zebra..." Kokushibo tried hard to imagine what it would look like when Lin Yu activated the Zebra, but in the end he let out a long sigh, "It's better not to activate the Zebra forever."

"Yu!" A sudden voice outside the house awakened the deep-thinking Kokushibo. Looking through the broken window, Kokushibo saw a girl in a pink kimono holding a string of candied haws in her hand and happily waving in the other direction.

Looking in the direction the girl was greeting, Kokushibo opened his mouth in surprise.

The white-haired girl in a blue kimono gently smoothed her hair that was messed up by the breeze, and walked towards the girl who greeted her with a gentle smile.

This white-haired girl was none other than Lin Yu.

At this time, Lin Yu no longer let her long hair fall casually behind her like before. Instead, she tied up her hair on both sides with two white flower-shaped hair accessories. Coupled with the kimono with blue and gold patterns, Kokushibo did not recognize that this was Lin Yu at first.

When he realized what was happening, the black-haired girl had already taken Lin Yu's arm.

Is there a festival outside?

Kokushibo's eyes moved slightly, and his thoughts instantly went back hundreds of years.

It was also a festival at that time, and because my mother and father were busy, I went to the festival with my younger brother who had just learned to speak.

There, Tsugumi Yuichiro was just like the black-haired girl, curious about everything, but also very afraid of being too far away from herself, so he always looked back from time to time to see where she was.

When there are more people around, Yunyi will hold her hand gently like that girl.

Raising his rough palms, Kokushibo watched the two girls about to disappear in the crowd, and finally decided to go out.

It was already dark now, so there was no problem going out.

Grabbing the mask hanging on the wall, Kokushibo put away his weapon and left the house.

At this time, Lin Yu was looking at Zhen Gu who was trying hard to catch the goldfish lovingly, and did not notice that there was another gaze not far away.

Kanae and the other two who were peeping from a distance also changed into corresponding kimonos at this time. Kanae, who had been jealous all day, now calmed down. Olivia was right. It was impossible to snatch it away.

But Zhen Gu is at most the first wife, and if she works hard she can become the second wife.

First secure the location of the second room, and then slowly take down the first room!

Just like in my dream.

Kanae, who had figured it out, was much calmer. By the way, Tanjiro next to her had wanted to go home a long time ago, but under pressure from the two girls, he had followed them until now.

Although Zhen Gu is a water column, it is really unreasonable for him to use the upper breathing method for a few goldfish.

It is precisely because of this that Zhengu...finally had a record of 0

With Lin Yu's gentle comfort, the two walked in the designated direction.

There were a lot of people around, so they didn't see Kokushibo not far away. However, Tanjiro, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled something wrong, but no matter where he looked, he couldn't find the source. In the end, he could only pray that the ghost would not cause trouble.

Because they were already in the center of the festival, the best viewing spot was not far away. Even though they bought some octopus balls in the middle, they still arrived at the viewing spot before the fireworks were set off.

"Yu, look, you can see the sky very clearly." Zhen Gu pointed to the bright sky, his face full of excitement.

"Yeah." Lin Yu also looked up at the sky. Because the moon was too bright, the surrounding stars disappeared. Although he knew this was normal, Lin Yu still sighed in his heart.

"The fireworks tonight will definitely be beautiful!" Zhengu said excitedly.

"Yeah." Lin Yu put away those random thoughts and responded to Zhen Gu seriously.

"Um, Yu, listen to me." Makomo looked at the sky, "I have decided to quit the Demon Slayer Corps, but I won't go through the formal process because that would lead to an investigation by the Demon Slayer Corps, so I plan to fake my death and quit the team during a war, just like Sister Kanae."

"Why do you suddenly say that?" Lin Yu replied in surprise.

"Because I have been confused for so many years." Zhen Gu grabbed Lin Yu's hand, "Until the last time I met you, I thought about it for a long time after I went back. What I want is not for Guishadui to give you a clear name. Yu is innocent, and this does not need anyone to prove it."

At this point, Zhengu took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and said seriously, "I just want to be with Yu, no matter where we are."

The moment he opened his mouth, the fireworks exploding in the sky covered up Zhengu's voice.

But looking at Lin Yu's shocked expression, Zhen Gu felt that his thoughts must have been successfully conveyed, but...

"You are very happy." This is what Lin Yu heard.

The person who said this was Kokushibo, who had appeared behind Lin Yu at some point in time.

Chapter 56: Damn it!

Lin Yu almost instinctively grasped the weapon pulled out from the system space, but Kokushibo, who was wearing a Tengu mask, put his hand on Lin Yu's head.

This action made Lin Yu stunned, and Zhen Gu next to him was obviously attracted by this scene.

"Um, may I ask who you are?"

"A friend." Lin Yu responded in time and grabbed the palm of his head. "Sorry, Zhengu, I have to leave for a moment."

After saying that, Lin Yu pulled Kokushibo and disappeared in the crowd.

“Who is that person? Chang Dian?” Big question marks appeared above the heads of the people who were following behind.

"Tsuneda dares to touch Xiaoyu's head?" Kanae said, "I'm afraid Xiaoyu will just pick up the knife and chop the ghost."

Everyone thought about what Lin Yu had done recently. If Chang Dian dared to touch his head, he might really be chopped off.

But who is this person? He touched Lin Yu's head blatantly, but Lin Yu was just nervous and did not make any other movements.

"Sister, do you have such a good friend?" Olivia tilted her head.

"To be honest, we don't seem to know either." Kanae was also puzzled.

"Olivia, go and take a look." Olivia said as she was about to go to the place where Lin Yu disappeared.

"...I think we should not go." Kanae held Olivia, "After all, Xiaoyu has left Zhengumo right where he is."

"Huh...what do you want to do?" After bringing Kokushibo to a quiet place, Lin Yu drew his weapon.

"Do you think you can beat me?" Wearing the mask, Lin Yu could not see Kokushibo's expression, but the other party also put his hand on the weapon under the feather ornament.

"If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago." Lin Yu's face was calm, but his heart was beating violently.

"Are you nervous?" Kokushibo looked at Lin Yu's heart, "Your heartbeat is very fast."

Lin Yu didn't say anything, and the hand holding the knife increased its strength.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on fighting tonight."

"Do you think I will believe you?" A tiny stream of water appeared around Lin Yu.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Kokushibo drew out the Demon Blade, "I want to talk to you."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Yu became more alert when he saw the other side draw out their weapons.
