Chapter 87: Return to Butterfly House
----
There is a cherry blossom tree in the courtyard of Butterfly House. It is said that it was planted by the swordsman of the first generation of Flower Breathing.
Under the cherry blossom tree, Kanao Tsuyuri practiced her breathing method seriously. The skills and methods taught by her two teachers flowed in her heart, and she swung the long sword quickly.
Crunch.
The door opened.
A tall and beautiful girl wearing a butterfly-patterned haori walked into the courtyard.
Kanao quickly stopped practicing.
"Kanao!" Kanae rubbed her hair and smiled a little reluctantly.
Shinobu walked out of the room in front. When she saw her sister, she was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly walked over.
"Sister, you're back. Mr. Aomura..."
Seeing her sister's sad expression, her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Didn't find him?"
Kanae shook her head slightly and Shinobu was silent.
Mr. Aomura has been missing for more than two days.
It's been so long; if nothing was wrong, he should have shown up by now.
Kanae said, "I still don't believe that something like this will happen to Mr. Aomura. He may just be delayed by something. Maybe one day when we look back, we will find Mr. Aomura behind us."
Shinobu's eyes gradually widened, with a look of shock on her face.
Kanae said, "Of course, this is just an exaggeration. What I mean is..."
"Sister!" Shinobu interrupted her.
Kanae was stunned for a moment, then she felt something in her heart and turned back suddenly.
Under the cherry blossom tree, a young man appeared at some point. He was tall and handsome with black hair and golden eyes, and his aura was unfathomable.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Don't you recognize me?" Aoki asked.
Kanae rushed to Aoki in two steps, her eyes full of excitement: "Mr. Aomura, it's really you! Are you okay?"
Aoki looked at her expression, then looked at Shinobu and Kanao, thoughtfully: "Did you get any bad news?"
Shinobu walked over with Kanao.
"It's your crow. Two days ago, it returned to the headquarters on its own and said that you suddenly disappeared after encountering Upper Rank Three. It was suspected that you fell into a trap set by Muzan Kibutsuji."
Kanae calmed down a bit and added, "Mr. Uzui and Mr. Tomioka went to the scene of the incident to investigate, but they have not found any traces."
"The crow!"
Aoki suddenly realized.
He understood why he didn't see that guy today.
He thought it was because the crow was impatient to wait and went to find other crows to play with.
Outside was no place for chatting.
Back in the room, the four of them sat around the table.
After listening to the three people – mainly Kanae and Shinobu – tell what happened, Aoki said: "You guessed it right, those eyeballs came from Nakime, Muzan Kibutsuji's newly promoted Upper Rank Six. She controls the Infinity Castle, which is an independent and different space. Through the Infinity Castle, she can instantly teleport her eyes to all parts of the world."
"A different space?" Kanae Kocho thought thoughtfully: "Mr. Aomura, have you been in that Infinity Castle for the past two days?"
Aoki nodded: "Yes, Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to trap me with the help of the Infinity Castle and then kill me. The Upper Rank Three mentioned by the crow was actually a bait he specially released."
Mr. Aomura sat in front of them intact. It was obvious that Muzan's plan had failed, but the Butterfly sisters were still scared.
"Mr. Aomura, how did you escape?" Shinobu asked curiously.
Aoki said: "The word 'escape' is not quite accurate. In fact, I took the initiative to step into the trap."
"You took the initiative to step into the trap?"
Kanae and Shinobu suddenly understood why Mr. Aomura fell into a trap with his ability.
But at the same time, they became more confused.
Why take such a risk?
"Demons want to kill me, and I also want to kill demons. It's hard to find traces of Upper Ranks." Aoki explained.
It turned out that the adventure was well worth it.
If it weren't for this trap, Aoki didn't know when he would encounter Upper Ranks and complete the "End of the Upper Ranks."
Speaking of which, Muzan Kibutsuji had set two traps for him in a row, but not only failed to kill him, but he also provided key assists both times.
Last time, he helped him complete the "End of the Lower Ranks," and this time he helped him complete the "End of the Upper Ranks."
The miracle of "promoting three levels in a row" twice was accomplished with the help of Muzan Kibutsuji.
It's simply a gold medal support!
As the saying goes, if you send Buddha to the West, you will help others to the end.
He hoped Muzan Kibutsuji will come again and bring himself to the door.
"The trap was set by Muzan Kibutsuji himself, right?"
Shinobu looked at Aoki blankly.
Isn't it crazy to still want to kill Upper Ranks even though Muzan Kibutsuji took action himself?
Aoki nodded: "It's because of Muzan Kibutsuji that the matter has been delayed until today."
Both of them understood the hidden meaning in his words, and their beautiful eyes widened slightly.
Kanae quickly asked: "Mr. Aomura, did you really kill another Upper Rank?"
Aoki shook his head.
The two immediately showed disappointed expressions.
At this time, Aoki raised two fingers: "Not one, but two! Upper Rank Three Akaza and the newly promoted Upper Rank Six Nakime have all been defeated!"
"Ah?"
"Ah!"
Emotions were up and down, and for a moment, both Kanae and Shinobu looked a little confused.
Under the siege of Muzan Kibutsuji and many Upper Ranks, killing two Upper Ranks, is this really possible?
But they also knew that Mr. Aomura would not lie to them about this kind of thing.
Shinobu was the first to come to her senses and sneered, not hiding her gloating at all.
"Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. Muzan Kibutsuji must be almost mad by now, right?"
"I don't know if he's mad or not, but he's definitely very angry," Aoki said.
"He Deserved it!"
Shinobu said bitterly.
Competitive, irritable, and straightforward, this is the true Shinobu.
In the original work, after the death of Kanae , Shinobu completely lived like her sister.
But in this timeline, Kanae is still alive and well, and Shinobu will not change her personality drastically.
"The new Upper Rank Six is actually dead. When my lord and I were talking about it before, I was very worried about how to deal with the trouble she caused. I didn't expect..."
At this point, Kanae stood up suddenly: "Oh, I haven't told my lord the news of Mr. Aomura's return yet! There are also matters concerning the third and sixth Upper Ranks, which must be reported to the lord as soon as possible."
She was very embarrassed.
She was so excited to see that Mr. Aomura was safe and sound that she completely forgot about other things.
Kanae Kocho was about to leave when she remembered one more thing.
"Mr. Aomura, you mentioned before that you wanted to meet with the lord. The lord asked me to tell you that he is available at any time."
"Then let's do it tonight." Aoki said without hesitation.
This was one of the reasons why he returned to Butterfly House.
