Ghost Slayer: From taking care of Tanjuro's wife and daughter

Chapter Twenty-Five: Unsensible Breathing

in front of the cave

The giant bear roared, and the surrounding trees that were shaken by the sound made a 'rustling' sound.

Apparently, the giant bear at this moment could no longer bear the weak human beings running to his territory and provoking him.

"Roar……"

The giant bear stands upright, with a height of three to four meters, making it as huge as a hill, giving people a great sense of deterrence.

"Boom..."

The ground shook with the giant bear's footsteps.

Faced with such a threat, Kamado Tanjuro's thin body remained calm. He just stood quietly in front of Tanjirou, holding an ax in his hand.

As the wind blows, Kamado Tanjuro's hair flutters in the wind.

"Tanjirou, look, what is the so-called 'breathing'..."

He whispered softly.

As the sound fell, Kamado Tanjuro tapped his foot lightly, and the sound disappeared suddenly at this moment.

In Tanjirou's eyes, his father's speed is obviously so fast, so fast that it seems difficult to see with the naked eye, but it is so clearly presented in front of him at this moment.

Then, in the dark night sky, it seemed that a silver light burst suddenly, and the blazing beam made people's eyes lose their minds at this moment.

But when Tanjirou came back to his senses, the giant bear, which was full of ferocious power just now, seemed to choose someone to eat, suddenly stopped in its tracks.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound sounded, and the huge head of the giant bear rolled to the ground, and scarlet blood flowed out from the neck without the head, dyeing the pure white snow into scarlet purple.

Such a powerful black bear that seemed to be invincible just like that, died.

Light and fluffy, as if he had no power to resist, he died.

His gaze fell unconsciously on his father.

Father was still standing where he was, without moving a little bit, as if he had been standing there the whole time.

But Tanjirou knew that just now, it was his father who shot and killed the giant bear.

"At that moment, my father chopped off two axes in a row, but it was like chopping off two axes, but it was like chopping off one ax... It was like chopping off two axes at the same time..."

"Cough cough cough..."

At this time, Kamado Tanjuro, who had been standing calmly, began to cough violently, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he was enduring extremely severe pain.

"See clearly?"

A slightly hoarse voice came out as Kamado Tanjuro turned his head. At this moment, Tanjuro's eyes were extremely dim, as if they were about to go out at any moment, but there was still a light hidden in those eyes, and he looked at Tanjirou with expectant eyes.

Faced with his father's expectant eyes, Tanjirou was still unable to say the words of disappointment, so he closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the figure of his father's ax just now.

Although that moment was so fast, but for some reason, when he closed his eyes, Tanjirou could still clearly recall the scene of his father hitting the ax just now.

After a long time, Tanjirou opened his eyes, met his father's expectant eyes, and said, "Just now, when my father chopped down the axe, I could smell my father's scent, and there was no wavering in my father's scent. Not a trace of fear, not a trace of murderous intent... just like, without the slightest emotion."

As he spoke, Tanjirou said suddenly, "It seems that those plants are like, no, they are not like plants, just like my father's usual state, just like, like, my father who always exudes the breath of plants."

"Yes, it's the same feeling that father 'breathes' on a daily basis."

Hearing this, Kamado Tanjuro also showed a smile on his face. Although there are many, what Tanjirou said is not all right, but it is not important. With the gradual mastery of "breathing", he understands that Tanjirou will eventually reach his goal. Now this realm.

"Cough cough cough..."

Kamado Tanjuro began to cough violently, his face turned pale rapidly, and his breath became weaker and weaker.

but at the moment

Kamado Tanjuro smiled happily.

He slowly came to Tanjuro, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Tanjirou's head: "From now on, the Kamado family will be handed over to you."

Saying that, Kamado Tanjuro took off the Nichirin earrings that he had been wearing all the time, and put them on Tanjirou's hands

"These are also given to you."

"Tanjirou, you must pass on this thing..."

"I will, Father."

Tanjirou nodded heavily.

"Good, good, good."

Kamado Tanjuro said hello several times before hugging Tanjirou with his arms: "Now, let me take you home."

…………

Tanjirou was driven by his father on the way back, just like Kamado Tanjuro took him when he came here, the scenery on both sides of the river passed by quickly, but this time, Tanjirou no longer had the speed of flying for his father, the footsteps On the snow, marvel without a trace.

Not because it's been through before

but because

Tanjirou felt that the temperature of his father's body was getting colder and colder

father's breath

It's been... getting slower and slower.

Wait until you come to the familiar house standing in the mountains, wait until your father puts his body down

Tanjirou already... could no longer feel his father's breath.

The howling wind blew by.

The boy's mournful cry echoes in the woods

Wake up everyone in the house.
