Ghost Slayer: Please let me be a human being

Aoki looked at the new wooden house in front of him.

"You built a new house?"

Aoi Kamado said, "Yes, thanks to Mr. Aoki's help!"

Tanjiro further explained, "Last winter, the house was damaged by a bear that woke up from hibernation.

Mr. Aoki and I learned breathing techniques, and our strength increased, and we earned more money.

With the money Mr. Aoki left us, we took the opportunity to renovate the house."

Aoki listened silently, silently feeling Tanjiro's pure, gentle, and simple heart.

Because of his appearance, Tanjiro lost the opportunity to become the protagonist of his destiny, and he would probably only be an ordinary farm boy in this life.

However, looking at Tanjiro's face full of happiness at this time, you can know what Tanjiro really cares about.

"It's getting late, I should leave." Aoki got up.

Tanjiro realized something and subconsciously took a step forward.

"Mr. Aoki!"

"Live well!"

Aoki looked at Tanjiro, then at Nezuko, a smile appeared on his face, and his figure disappeared.

...

In the small courtyard.

Aomura Takina and Kocho Shinobu sat opposite each other, with a small stove next to them and a kettle gurgling.

The fresh tea fragrance slowly spread in the room.

Kocho Shinobu picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Takina, your tea ceremony level is getting higher and higher."

Takina said: "I'm not as busy as you, and I just have this hobby."

Kocho Shinobu waved to the opposite side.

"Sister, Aunt Rie, you guys come and try it too."

Kocho Kaname and Aomura Rie were discussing flower arrangement, and looked up when they heard it.

"You are quite leisurely."

Just then, a familiar voice sounded, and a black-haired young man appeared in the room without knowing when.

"Aoki!"

Takina stood up at once, took two steps at a time, and walked to him, her eyes full of surprise.

"You're back!"

Aoki nodded, and looked at the remaining three people: "Master's wife, I'm back.

Miss Kanae, Miss Shinobu, you are here too, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Mr. Aoki."

Kanae leaned forward slightly, her temperament was as gentle as water, making people feel very comfortable.

Shinobu Kocho looked Aoki up and down.

"Ah, isn't this the one who left for a year, and there was no news in between!"

Everyone laughed, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Kanae Kocho said: "Then we'll say goodbye first."

Shinobu Kocho put away her smile and waved.

"I won't disturb your reunion, so-and-so, remember to come to the Butterfly House in two days."

Takina suddenly spoke.

"It's getting late, you can stay today!"

Rie Aomura glanced at her and said nothing.

The Butterfly sisters looked at each other, and then looked at Aoki together.

"Why are you looking at me?" Aoki's skin tingled, and he felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

A gentle smile appeared on Kanae's face: "Sorry to bother you then."

In the evening.

In order to welcome Aoki, everyone prepared a luxurious dinner.

Unfortunately, he could only look, not eat.

Aomura Rie asked: "Aoki, when you left, you said you were looking for a way to turn back into a human. Are you coming back this time?"

Butterfly Kanae and Butterfly Shinobu both looked at Aoki, with doubts in their eyes.

The feeling that Aoki gave them now was completely different from before, and they could not be sure whether he was still a ghost.

Aoki shook his head: "Sorry, Master, not yet."

In fact, obtaining the "Infinite Dragon Beast" made him even less human.

However.

The Human-Human Fruit Fantasy Beast Nature Spirit form made him one step closer to humans.

Aomura Rie looked disappointed.

Takina's expression was still calm, and he put down his chopsticks.

"Aoki, I have thought about one thing clearly. Now that you are back, I can tell you."

"What is it?" Aoki asked.

Takina said seriously: "Turn me into a demon now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Aomura Rie and the Butterfly sisters widened their eyes.

Aomura Rie hurriedly said: "Takina, is it necessary to be so anxious?"

Takina's tone was calm.

"I don't know how long it will take for Aoki to find a way to turn back into a human.

This time Aoki left for a year, and next time it may be longer. Am I right, Aoki?"

Aoki nodded.

"Indeed."

It has been exactly one year since he left the Demon Slayer World.

But the time he spent in the Akagi World and the Pirate World, combined, is less than half a year.

The speed of time in the Demon Slayer World is relatively fast.

Of course.

The speed of time in these three worlds is still acceptable.

I am afraid that one day he will enter a world with extremely slow time flow, and in just a few days, the Demon Slayer World may have changed drastically.

And this is completely out of his control.

Takina said: "Aoki's life is eternal, I don't want to grow old.

Becoming a ghost just means that I can't eat. For me, this is nothing.

If Aoki can find a way to turn back into a human, we can restore our human bodies together.

If he can't find it, it's not bad to live together as ghosts."

Aomura Rie fell silent.

In fact, she felt much more deeply about the issue of age than Takina.

A few years ago, when the tragedy first happened, she was in her early thirties and looked only in her twenties, still clinging to the tail of youth.

However, as she approaches forty, her skin begins to lose its luster, the corners of her eyes are no longer smooth, and time leaves more and more traces on her body.

Butterfly Kanae and Butterfly Shinobu didn't speak either.

They were almost as old as Takina, and they had never considered this issue before when they were worried about their appearance.

However, now they suddenly realize that ghosts do not age. When Aoki comes back one day, they may have become old women.

"Cough cough cough."

Aoki cleared his throat, interrupting the slightly depressing atmosphere.

"Master's wife is right, there is indeed no need to be so anxious."

With a flick of his hand, a jewel-like elixir flew towards Takina and stopped in front of her.

"I planned to give it to you later, but the atmosphere has reached this point, so let's take it out now!"

"What's this?"

Takina looked at it curiously: "A gem?"

Aoki shook his head and said: "This is a kind of elixir called Yanzhudan. After taking it, your appearance will remain unchanged for a hundred years."

"The Beauty Pill? Does your appearance remain unchanged for a hundred years?"

Takina looked surprised.

The expressions of the other three people were almost identical, with a hint of unnoticeable envy.

Including Aomura Rie is no exception.

Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t love beauty?

And the thing that does the most damage to appearance is undoubtedly time.

Takina hesitated and looked at Aomura Rie.

"It's better to give it to mom, I'll just turn into a ghost."

Rie Aomura looked pleased.

"No! Just eat it, Takina. I can also become a ghost. This is Aoki's wish..."

Takina said: "No, mom should eat it."
