"Like a little hero in a fairy tale."

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her voice couldn't help but tremble. Butterfly Kanae thought of that desperate scene,

"Blood! Then there was blood! Lots and lots of blood! I can't remember how badly he was injured. I just know that he told us to run."

Butterfly Kanae pursed her lips and looked at Shi Zhifei, her nose felt sour.

"We survived, but the agreement was still broken later, because he died, died at the place where we made the agreement, and he was buried by Shinobu and I ourselves!"

"You know what? Mingfei!"

She raised her trembling hands and stared blankly,

"Those handfuls of soil seem to be stuck to my hands! My soul! No matter how I wash it, I can't wash it off!"

Butterfly Kanae shook her head uncontrollably,

"Mingfei, I know it was just a dream, but that dream was too real and terrifying, as if it was foreshadowing something."

Click——!

She lowered her hand and grasped the handle of the knife at her side, holding it tightly!

"So after that, I was thinking, if I continue as before, like an ordinary girl and continue to live a carefree life, what will the future be like?"

The girl showed a bitter smile,

"There will come a time when we will be in the same situation again."

"Will not,"

Tokihiro interrupted Butterfly Kanae's words without speaking, and clenched her fists in a deep voice.

"As long as I'm here, Dad, Mom, Shinobu, Kanae-nee, and everyone else will be fine!"

"You just need to pursue the life you want."

"I know, I know, I really know,"

Butterfly Kanae shook her head, the incoherence between words and movements spoke of the gentle girl's heart. As she kept repeating, she suddenly raised her head, waves of light flowing,

"But, what about you?"

"Mingfei! What should you do if you encounter that situation?"

"Left alone again and let everyone you care about go?"

"Are you alone again, facing enemies that you can and cannot defeat, wandering in the uncertain world of life and death?"

"Time is transparent!"

Butterfly Kanae stared at the trance-like Tokoyoshi Fei,

"You can exercise, you can swing a knife, you can fight, you can fight for the people you care about, but why...why can't we?"

The corners of my eyes are stained with sour red,

"Mingfei, I don't want to make the vase that is still in the tea room at home."

"Mingfei, I am not willing to raise my legs just to escape! Run away! Run away again!"

"It's too much. It's too much to put the entire promise on you."

Silence for a long time,

"I didn't say you can't." Shi Zhifei kept opening and closing his fists. As he stood up, he subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the girl who also lowered her head and said nothing.

"That"

"Can you wait for next year? One year, just wait for one year! No! Wait for half a year! After all, there are uncertain risks in joining the team assessment. You wait for me to complete the trial, and we will do it together."

Shi Zhizhi was stunned when he heard Fei's words.

He stared blankly at the girl who was full of crystal light and said no more.

Butterfly Kanae raised her head, feeling the coldness of the jade pendant on her chest, staring at the boy's face quietly, and suddenly smiled, bitterly,

"Mingfei, I won't wait for you. If you can't understand me at this point, I will be the same."

"I won't listen to you again."

Because side by side is what she wants to do and pursue now!

Shi Zhifei opened his mouth, not knowing what to do.

I can't speak, I can't persuade, or I can't argue.

It's like someone pressed the pause button on the world, but damn, there's a fish bone stuck in your throat at this very moment.

Can't move!

The trembling of the heart is the rising powerlessness!

There is no right or wrong or solution to this matter.

"Let's make a bet, Mingfei."

I don’t know how long it took to be quiet, but Butterfly Kanae stood up, raised her head slightly and looked at the boy in front of her,

"I know that there is a risk of death in the Demon Slayer test, but I bet with my life that I can survive."

"I'm betting my life on a future where I can keep up with you on my own."

"If I lose," Butterfly Kanae waved her hand pretending to be free and easy,

"Then let this vase break."

"What a bet! You are just acting on your own initiative. If you lose, there will be no winner at all!" Shi Chuangfei gritted his teeth and argued.

"Why do you think I will lose?"

Butterfly Kanae regained her usual smile, and her pink eyes were as gentle as ever, but they also had a hint of growth that kept moving forward.

She hugged him fiercely, not wanting him to see her fragile and embarrassed look.

Two lines of clear tears were real, sliding over the hypocritical arc of the corner of the mouth.

The hanging curtains scattered into star flowers on the ground.

"Xiao Mingfei, can you not be so arrogant this time?"

"I will win"

"You will really win!"

She also wants to shine, not be illuminated!

At the mouth of the valley, the wind howled, blowing away the autumn coolness.

The two people embracing each other herald the arrival of separation,

Shi Zhifei gently patted the delicate back of the girl in his arms, wondering if it was an illusion.

He felt her trembling.

Shi Tingfei was thinking about the package delivered by Butterfly Chanoe in the house. There were new clothes for autumn and winter.

After all, I still didn’t persuade her!

He looked at the stubborn girl, his eyes wandering around, subconsciously scratching his head and changing the topic.

"By the way, where are Saneya and Kuangichika? Why didn't I see them?"

Snapped--!

"Are you talking about the white-haired hedgehog and the boy with the scar on his cheek?"

Butterfly Kanae suddenly clasped her hands together, looked at Shi Xingfei apologetically, pursed her lips in shame,

"I'm sorry, Xiao Mingfei, I accidentally killed you."

Buzz—!

Kill kill kill

Shi Xingshi's eyes widened subconsciously: "!"

Kill kill kill kill? !

Phew!

Butterfly Kanae suddenly covered her mouth, and with a slight chuckle, she went up and patted the frightened Tokihiro Fei,

"You're kidding, you're kidding. I was just knocked unconscious. The one in the wooden house must have woken up by now."

To be sure, she looked at Shi Xingshi, her eyes wandering, for a long time.

It was like that in the past, there were very few words between him and the boy in front of him.

Especially since the noisy little Shinobi was not around, this kind of silence was even more special.

But in fact, I didn't feel any embarrassment. Instead, what rose in my heart was a sense of indifference, like flowing water reflecting the clouds.

Because their daily life is often that he wields the knife wordlessly while they watch with a smile.

Of course, sometimes she will hold a cup of young tea, which is something unique to her.

Butterfly Kanae blinked, tilted her head and smiled under Tokikoro's slightly puzzled gaze, then simply turned around and waved gently,

"Go back, Xiao Mingfei, and say sorry to those two boys for me."

She stuck out her tongue and muttered to herself,

"After all, who knew you were also taking an assessment?"

Then, he strode away.

tread--!

tread--!

The heavy footsteps made a sound as they ran over the windy sand on the red ground.

Looking at the girl's fading figure, Shi Tingfei suddenly woke up!

If they were separated just now, the trembling of the embrace was not an illusion.

How could that girl come here just to give some clothes, and how could she simply tell her that she was going to take part in the team assessment?

Who would make a meaningless bet after being rebutted?

What's more, Kanae has never been the kind of person to get emotional!

What she wants to do is to give that bet a meaning!

"Kanae!!!"

Suddenly, Shi Zhifei suddenly spoke, looked at the girl who subconsciously looked back, took a deep breath,

"I"

"I bet you can win too!"

The girl's eyes widened subconsciously, and a touch of pink dimmed the worldly light.

"Um!"

Her eyes closed subconsciously, and Butterfly Kanae's lips smiled, with a touch of truth and a pun,

"Don't worry, we won't lose."

In this long-distance meeting,

She got what she wanted.

then,

The girl lowered her eyes and turned around, her clothes bloomed and brushed the blade of her bare hand.

That's light on the feet!
