Although the girl biting the bamboo tube looked a bit strange, Hestia could still understand the fact that the two of them bowed towards her together. Jumped down and walked towards the three of them.

“Welcome, this is ‘Dimensional Office’, what can I do for you?”

Just as Hestia felt a little strange seeing the girl biting the bamboo tube, the expression of the girl biting the bamboo tube looking at Hestia is also a little subtle, after all, Hestia’s figure is too… …proud.

Hestia is obviously taller than Hestia, but the other party seems to feel the crushing from class, and can’t help but look down at his chest with a disappointed expression.

But compared to the disappointed girl, the young man with the pink ponytail on the other side is more calm. After all, he has more important things to solve right now.

“Excuse me, I saw that this store is still open, so I want to inquire about something…”

Although Hestia had already guessed the identities of the three of them when he saw the slightly reserved expressions, most likely they were the “clients” that Blue Star mentioned before. After all, if they were friends of Blue Star, or someone they knew before Even if you don’t know her, you probably know this firm, and if you show such an expression, it’s probably because you have never been to this store.

But after getting the other party’s confirmation at this time, she was still a little worried. After all, according to Blue Star, the reason why he obtained the “great career” far faster than normal adventurers was through “entrustment”. She was a little worried that she could not receive the other party well. .

It was obvious that the other party couldn’t see through Hestia’s thoughts. Seeing Hestia’s nervous expression, he thought that the other party was a little scared because of their status as strangers, so he unconsciously lowered his tone and tried to appear gentle. expression.

“That… Where is the adult in the store?”

The other party originally just asked a question out of good intentions, but what the other party didn’t know was that what he said made Hestia stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became ‘vicious’. It’s a pity that Hestia didn’t deter him The appearance of power, it feels like a cat that is always angry.

The young man with the pink ponytail suddenly became embarrassed, because he realized that he might have accidentally ‘stepped on a thunderbolt’, but for a while he didn’t realize where he stepped on the thunderbolt.

But just when the atmosphere in the store was a bit awkward, the store door behind them was suddenly opened again.

“Phew! Where is the client?!”

As soon as he opened the door, Lan Xing couldn’t help asking.

At this time, Lan Xing’s expression was a little nervous. After all, it was the first time he encountered a situation where a ‘client’ came to the store when he was not in the store.

That’s right, when he sent Erina back to the villa on the mountain, the ‘system’ reminded him that a ‘stranger’ appeared in the store.

This made Blue Star a little nervous, but unlike Hestia, Hestia was worried about Blue Star’s ‘entrustment’, while Blue Star was worried about Hestia and the others at home. When he saw Hestia When Stia was standing at the door, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just that what Lan Xing didn’t realize was that he said a word, but the ‘client’ who was standing in front of him was shocked suddenly, and then turned around stiffly.

“Blue Star… sir?”

The other party’s voice was a bit unfamiliar to Lan Xing, but when the other party turned around to reveal the scarred cheeks, Lan Xing suddenly remembered a person.

“Sakura…?”

Chapter 3 Has it been many years?

Although the other party’s pink hair and the iconic scar on the cheek are the same as in his own impression, Lan Xing’s tone is still a bit puzzled, after all, the ‘Saitu’ in his impression is a person with a height of 150+ The 15-year-old boy in front of him is a young man with a height of 170+.

However, when Lan Xing saw the surprised expression on the other side, Lan Xing also realized that he did not admit his mistake.

Different from Sasha and Inno, Blue Star had seen Faust before Sasha and the others met, so although Sasha’s expression was no longer gloomy when he came to the door again, and there were no exposed source stone crystals on his body, Blue Star Xing still recognized each other at a glance.

However, when he first met with ‘Saktu’, he looked like a teenager to him. At this time, he suddenly turned into a young man. Blue Star didn’t react for a while, but after getting a positive response from the other party, Blue Star also pushed back. reason.

According to the ‘Sabbit’, he was killed by a ‘ghost’ a few years ago, but because he was worried that his family would be killed by a ‘ghost’, his soul lingered in the place where he died until he met Lan Xing And entrusted Blue Star to eliminate the ‘ghost’ ahead of time.

Since it is a soul, the appearance age of the other party is naturally fixed to the appearance at the time of death, so since it is a young ‘Sabbit’ in front of me, it means—————

“Has it been many years…”

Blue Star’s sigh stemmed from the fact that he had changed a person’s luck, and saw a person who should have died appear in front of him, but for Sato, Blue Star’s words were tantamount to admitting his identity. The identity of the savior.

Kaitu’s expression was a little excited at this time, and even his body trembled unconsciously, and after seeing the other party’s reaction, Lan Xing couldn’t help but patted the other party’s shoulder.

Lan Xing’s movements were not heavy, but it was these few slaps that made Sato feel his originally agitated mood gradually calm down.

Sasha and Inno’s reactions were similar to each other’s when they saw him, but the only difference was that he spent more time with Sasha and Inno, and The last two were younger, that’s why their performance was so exaggerated.

And Satoshi in front of him is already a young man, and his self-control ability is naturally stronger, so he won’t lose control and jump on him like Sasha and Ino because of excitement.

Both Satu and Lanxing completed the communication through simple two sentences and facial expressions, but other people in the store were at a loss.

But the only difference is that Hestia has met Sasha and Inuo, so she can probably guess that Sasha and Inuo should also be the same people who were helped by Blue Star.

But the young girl who followed each other looked at Lan Xing and Sato with a strange expression.

In their impression, Sato was the hero who saved them when they were most in danger, and even the hero who could repel the terrifying ‘oni’, why did he show such an expression?

But fortunately Satu suddenly remembered something after he calmed down.

Looking at Satu who didn’t know why his expression became tense, Blue Star also suddenly realized that although Sato and the others were not the “clients” he was waiting for, it was not appropriate to let them stay at the door no matter what, and he also signaled them Follow yourself towards the store first.

Although the office on the first floor is different from the living area on the second floor and has not been divided into different rooms, the arrangement by Blue Star is also different from the original, except for the ‘weapon box’ in the corner and the desk before the ‘weapon box’ In addition, there is also a set of sofas next to it for use when talking with the client.

So he simply led the three of them to the sofa. As for Hestia, after Blue Star came back, she went to 2L to prepare tea for Blue Star and the others very skillfully.

At the beginning, Blue Star was in charge of all these, but with the arrival of Hestia, these have been handed over to the other party. In fact, during this period, Ti Yayou did not mean to help, but the other party is not only in the field of work, but also He is a natural fool, the kind who can cause his left foot to trip over his right foot and then wrestle because of thinking about things while walking on a flat road. It would be a disaster to let the other party go to the kitchen.

When Blue Star and the others took their seats, Hestia had already walked down with a teacup, and Eve appeared with her.

As for Tiayou, although he didn’t show up, Lan Xing guessed that the other party was probably standing on the stairs on the second floor to observe Eve’s situation.

Obviously, after Tiayou and Eve took a bath, they happened to meet Hestia who had made tea, and when the two asked for help, Tiayou was ruthlessly rejected.

Satoshi was not too surprised by the appearance of Hestia and Eve… It should be said that he was not too surprised even if Lanxing’s appearance did not change. In the process of practice, he has also noticed the difference between the ‘ripple breathing method’ and the ‘water breathing method’ he practiced before, such as the treatment of the ripple breathing method and the effect of delaying aging.

So according to his guess, Blue Star’s appearance has not changed, but his age is estimated to be at least 30~40 years old.

It is normal for a man of this age to have two daughters.

Satoshi thinks her reasoning is perfect, but she doesn’t know if Hestia, as a goddess, really has the ability to detect people’s hearts. He was smiling when serving tea, but it was a business smile when serving tea to Sato.

Sato could vaguely sense that something was wrong, so how could it be possible that Lan Xing, who was so familiar with Hestia, didn’t notice the abnormality in the other party?

Based on his experience, probably Sasha and Ino misunderstood each other’s ages, right?

“Sakura, let me introduce you. This is Eve. Her family, Tiayou, is helping me with my research and staying in my office temporarily. This is Hestia, the archbishop of my sect. … well, and the oldest one we have here.”

The identity of Hestia is naturally introduced as a ‘clergyman’ as before, but the difference is that Lan Xing specifically mentioned Hestia’s age.

Although most women are more concerned about their age, it is obvious that Hestia is more troubled by the fact that she looks too young, so Lan Xing’s introduction made Hestia put down her teacup. He raised his head proudly.

It was only then that Sabito finally reacted.

It turned out that Hestia’s displeased expression before was due to her age, and he also apologized in embarrassment.

“That…Sorry, Miss Hestia, I think you are too young…so…”

Sato wanted to say that the other party was not young, but young, but it was impossible to say such words, but fortunately, Hestia could still understand the other party’s meaning from the other party’s words and expressions, with an open mind Seeing the other party’s sincere attitude, she also decided to forgive him…

Chapter 4 I’m curious what is my image in Satu’s eyes?

Facing Hestia’s stepping on thunder can be said to be an accident, but it has to be said that it is precisely because of Lan Xing’s initiative to introduce that Satu can just continue to introduce the topic.

“Mr. Lanhoshi, this is Tanjiro Kamado and his sister Nezuko Kamado.”

Unsurprisingly, following Sabito’s introduction, Kamado Tanjiro and Kamado Nezuko who were sitting on the sofa also nodded to Blue Star, but unlike Hestia, Blue Star saw the two When the person moved, his brows were slightly frowned.

Because he found that although they both nodded and greeted him, their reactions were somewhat different. The boy named Kamado Tanjiro was more sincere, while the girl named Kamado Nezuko acted more sincerely. On the other hand, it was a little slow, or it was simply imitating the actions of that Kamado Tanjiro.

Could it be that the other party is just purely indifferent, but he is a qualified brother-controller, so he will make such a weird move when facing Blue Star?

As for the bamboo gag that is a bit strange to most people, Blue Star didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, he has seen many people with strange decorations, whether it is the special “ship outfit” on the Royal Ark or The ‘blue ribbon’ on Hestia’s chest is obviously more weird than the opponent’s pocket.

But it was obvious that Sato didn’t know what Lan Xing was thinking in his heart, but he couldn’t help but ‘click’ in his heart when he saw Lan Xing’s obvious expression change.

Sato doesn’t know much about Blue Star. His only impression is that when he and Yiyong participated in the “Ghost Killing Squad Assessment” at the beginning, the other party’s terrifying fighting power when they faced ghosts, and when they finally gave them the “Ripple Breathing Method” The serious expression shown.

Therefore, his impression of Lan Xing was that he belonged to the kind of person who “has hatred like hatred”, and also mastered a special breathing method that was very similar to the “Sun Breathing Method”. He was a little worried that Lan Xing would kill “Kaomen Nezuko”.

The details that Lan Xing found through observation were not his illusions. Zaomen Nezuko is indeed a little strange, but not because of her subjective reasons, but because she is also a ‘ghost’, but the difference from ordinary ghosts is that she even After becoming a ‘ghost’, he did not completely lose his rationality. Not only did he not attack his family members, he even tried to protect them.

Sato decided to believe the other party after getting along for a while, but he didn’t know whether Lan Xing would believe what he said.

But he found that when Lan Xing was observing Nezuko Zaomen, he also realized that he might not be able to hide the situation of Nezuko Zaomen at all, so he decided to tell Lan Xing the whole story.

But the difference is that he unconsciously tensed his muscles, and once Lan Xing made a move, he tried to intercept Lan Xing.

That’s right, even now he still feels that Lanxing will attack Nezuko, but the difference is that he also believes that after he explains it clearly to Lanxing, the other party will make the same choice as himself.

Because he knows… The other party is a gentle person.

Whether it was helping myself to bid farewell to Yiyong and his former family members at the beginning, or teaching them the “ripple breathing method” selflessly at the end, it is enough to show the kindness of the other party’s heart. The only difference is that the other party’s kindness can only be faced with “human beings”. It will only be revealed when facing the ‘ghost’, and it will attack like a storm.

And all he needs to do is to convince Blue Star that Nezuko is a ‘person’ and not a ‘monster’.

“Mr. Blue Star!”

Looking at Sabito who suddenly had a serious face, Lanxing also withdrew his gaze from Nezuko and Tanjiro, and turned to look seriously into each other’s eyes.

The eyes are the eyes of the soul. Since Satoshi showed determination, he also responded to the other party in this way.

“The reason why I came to your office is actually to inquire about a ‘ghost’ who attacked Tanjiro and Nezuko’s family before…”

Satoshi first paved the way for what he said next, but he found that just halfway through his words, Lan Xing exuded a strong sense of oppression, but he insisted on speaking.

“Giyuu and I arrived one step too late because of the interference of other ghosts. Nezuko was attacked by that ghost to protect her family, and even… became a ‘ghost’!”

After finally saying everything, all the muscles of Sabito’s body tensed up unconsciously, not just Sabito, but even Tanjiro Kamado, who was an ordinary person, faintly sensed that the sense of terrifying oppression was increasing.

But then Sato noticed something was wrong, because Lan Xing didn’t act directly as he imagined, but simply looked at them in silence.

“Sakura, you seem a little strange?”

Lan Xing’s sudden question made Sato, who tensed his muscles unconsciously, startled for a moment, but instead of denying it, he nodded. Seeing this, Lan Xing couldn’t help showing a helpless expression.

“I’m very curious about what image I am in your eyes, Satoshi?”

Lan Xing’s self-satisfaction made Satu heave a sigh of relief. After all, it didn’t look like Lan Xing would directly lift the table, but it was precisely because of his relief that he couldn’t help but follow along. Lan Xing thought about it for a moment.

what image?

Probably a berserker who will rush up and kick the opponent when he sees a ‘ghost’?

But the complaints in his heart are all complaints, Satu is still very wise and did not really open his mouth. Although he accidentally stepped on Hestia’s thunder before, he is different from his friend Yiyong. He is better at communicating with people and knows when to speak. When to keep silent.

And Lan Xing obviously didn’t really want the answer, after all, he still has self-knowledge about himself, but the oppressive feeling he exuded before was not aimed at Sato or Kamado Tanjiro and Nezuko, but that The ‘oni’ who attacked Nezuko.

Perhaps because of Rem, Ram, Sasha, Ino, and even Eve and Erina, Lan Xing has more affection for ‘children’, so when he saw the young Nezuko being raped by someone After becoming a ‘ghost’, she couldn’t help but want to kill the guy who turned her into a ghost.

But it’s a pity that although Lan Xing is good at tracking as a hunter, it may not be easy for him to track down the ‘ghost’ that the other party said after he doesn’t know how long it has passed.

But he did not forget Sato’s purpose in finding his own firm.

“I don’t have any extra information about the so-called ‘ghost’ you mentioned. If you plan to attack each other, although I am not a member of the ‘ghost killing team’, you can also inform me.”

Blue Star’s words made Sato show a surprised expression. In fact, when he found Blue Star’s office on the side of the road, he didn’t expect to get any information from the office. After all, most people know that the possibility of “ghost” related information is really negligible.

He didn’t care whether he had the idea of ​​making two shots or not, so he chose to push the door to ask. Meeting Blue Star’s office can be said to be a pleasant surprise. Although he didn’t get any information now, he got a helper, which is something to be happy about. .

But then he showed a confident expression.

“Having your help is really helpful! After all, Mr. Lan Xing, you are the teacher who taught me and Yiyong the ‘ripple breathing method’, relying on the ‘ripple breathing method’ you gave us, not only did Yiyong and I become ghosts Kill the “Pillar” in the team, and in order to hunt down the guy who turned humans into “ghosts”, we also hunted down many ghosts along the way, including the strongest existence among the “ghosts”, “Moon of the First Quarter” …”

Sato is not a proud person, but he is very confident in his own fighting power, and this confidence comes from the crusade against the ‘ghost’ in his mouth. In his opinion, the blue star who taught him the ripple breathing method will only Stronger than himself, after all, after 6 years, he is not confident that he can beat the original Blue Star, let alone the opponent must become stronger in 6 years.

It’s just that what Sabito didn’t notice was that his words caught the attention of Kamado Tanjiro on the other side.

Because his younger sister was turned into a ‘ghost’, Tanjiro Kamado, who wanted to find a way to understand humans, naturally hoped to join the ‘ghost killing team’ to which Saitu belonged, and as far as he knew, Saitu had very The powerful “ripple breathing method”, he has always hoped to learn from the other party, but was rejected by the other party. According to the other party, the origin of this ripple breathing method is quite special.

But he didn’t expect the so-called ‘special origin’ to be the blue star in front of him.

So he stood up almost instinctively after hearing Sabito’s words.

“Wow~!”

Looking at Tanjiro Kamado standing in front of him, both Lan Xing and Sato couldn’t help being stunned for a moment, especially Lan Xing felt a little strange looking at Tanjirou Kamado who was full of longing. The look in his eyes is almost the same as the way he usually looks at Ai Lumao.

“Mr. Blue Star! Could you please teach me the ‘ripple breathing method’?!”

At this time, Tanjiro Kamado was excited, and his face was even flushed because of the fierce fight, but Lan Xing didn’t immediately agree or reject the other party, but instead asked a question that seemed a bit strange to Saitu .

“Why do you want to learn the ‘Ripple Breathing Method’? Since you want to learn it, you should have some basic understanding. Learning the ‘Ripple Breathing Method’ is not an easy task, and even many people don’t have the talent to learn at all…”

Speaking of this, not only Zamon Tanjiro, but even Saito couldn’t help being stunned for a moment, Lan Xing also looked at Sato in a strange way, who would have thought that Saito explained with a wry smile.

“Without your permission, Mr. Lanxing, neither Yiyong nor I have taught anyone the ‘Ripple Breathing Method’…”

Although Sato was smiling wryly, Lan Xing nodded subtly when he heard the other party’s words, which was regarded as approval of the other party’s behavior. In fact, the reason why he chose to teach the “ripple breathing method” to Sato for free at the end And Tomioka Yoshiyuki is indeed out of trust in the two.

After all, both of them are people who are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect others.

A person who has the awareness of sacrifice may not necessarily be a hero, but a hero must have the awareness of self-sacrifice.

But he didn’t expect that the two of them would still make such a decision when he had been ‘disappeared’ for several years. This made Lan Xing feel a lot better when he felt that he hadn’t misjudged the person. When talking with Kamado Tanjiro, the tone seems to be a little different.
