Blood dripped down her arm, the purple liquid representing filth and fear.
Hanami glanced at her arm. She didn't rush to repair it, but stared blankly at the wound.
It was a wound torn open by a man with no cursed energy at all.
He was very special. He seemed to have discovered her existence from the very beginning.
Hanami had actually felt the man's faint gaze, but after checking the man's cursed energy once, she felt that it was her misjudgment.
That man named Zenin Toji had even less cursed energy than an ordinary person. Such an existence could not possibly see her.
And Kenjaku's order to her was actually just to monitor Zenin Kiyoshi, so during this time, Hanami had no intention of doing anything to the two of them.
It was the same this time. After Hanami knew that Zenin Kiyoshi was about to go out to buy ingredients, she actually just planned to follow behind Zenin Kiyoshi and didn't plan to do anything.
But Toji took the initiative to attack. The moment he separated from Zenin Kiyoshi at the entrance of the mall, Hanami only felt a pain in her arm. By the time she reacted, a deep wound that showed the bone had already appeared on her left arm.
And that man named Toji turned his head and gave her a cold look, then walked towards a more remote corner.
Hanami knew that the other party was telling her to follow.
Although Hanami didn't even see how her arm was injured just now, she didn't have much fear of the man in front of her.
Unlike humans who use the Reverse Cursed Technique, cursed spirits themselves have no physical body, and repairing their bodies only requires enough cursed energy.
So, in less than a breath, she had already repaired the wound on her arm and followed Toji into the semi-abandoned building.
The main entrance of the building was blocked, but neither of them went through the main entrance.
After arriving at the rooftop of the building, the man said nothing and directly launched an attack on her.
Hanami didn't even know the reason why the other party was attacking her, but she seemed to have tacitly accepted this relationship.
Humans and cursed spirits are just such incompatible existences.
To Hanami's surprise, that man named Toji was terrifyingly strong. Although he had almost no cursed energy, he was able to fight her so that she didn't even have time to open her domain.
The other party's attacks were like a storm, airtight. She tried to pull away, but she couldn't catch up with the man's speed at all. But for some reason, the man didn't choose to kill her.
He just looked down at her and said faintly:
"I don't know what purpose you have in monitoring that kid, but you remember, I'm just too lazy to kill you. Go back and tell the person behind you not to do these boring things. If you have any transgressions, I will kill you directly."
After saying this, Toji jumped down from the building, but he didn't make a sound when he landed.
Hanami looked at the wound on her arm and told Kenjaku what had happened.
Kenjaku stretched out her index finger and gently stroked the hair on her ear. Then, as if she had thought of something interesting, she said softly:
"After so long, is the Zenin clan still so stupid? But forget it, at best it's just an ordinary person with no cursed energy, but a pure physical body... I really didn't expect that even you, Hanami, would be no match for him..."
To Kenjaku's words, Hanami did not refute. Although she had not opened her domain, Hanami knew that even if she had opened her domain, she would probably not be a match for that man. All her attacks could hardly lock onto that man. He was like a naturally hard granite, completely immune to her cursed energy.
For such an existence, would the absolute hit effect after opening the domain really work?
Just as Hanami was thinking about these things, that lazy female voice came again:
"Since you've been discovered, what do you plan to do next, Hanami? Will you continue to monitor them? Or will you go back and rest for a while? Nothing special has happened recently. Jogo and I can take care of the rest."
Hearing Kenjaku's words, Hanami paused for a moment, then she still said:
"I'll continue to monitor them. That man also said that as long as I don't do anything excessive, he won't do anything to me. Just monitoring should be fine."
Hanami's answer made Kenjaku a little surprised. She propped up her chin, looked at Hanami with interest in her beautiful eyes, and then said faintly:
"You might die, you know? Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter. Compared to death, facing the death of nature alone is too lonely."
"Is that so? Then you can go. Just don't die."
With that, Kenjaku left directly, leaving only Hanami standing there alone, her long hair fluttering in the wind.
July 10, 2000. The weather was cloudy, turning to light rain, and the temperature was 34°. It was not suitable for outdoor sports.
It had been almost a month since Zenin Kiyoshi came to the Zenin estate. At this moment, he was standing in Toji's newly cleaned courtyard, his whole body covered in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Keep swinging. If the sword swings down so slowly, you would have been dead countless times already."
Toji's voice came from not far away, with a slightly different aura than a month ago.
Toji himself didn't know how to describe that aura. If he had to say, it was probably old man Zenin Naobito's description that was the most accurate.
That day, the old man came to deliver some of Zenin Kiyoshi's daily necessities and clothes. After seeing the almost brand-new courtyard, and seeing Toji's seemingly different eyes than before, the old man suddenly grinned and let out a puff of alcohol-smelling breath, then said:
"Compared to before, you really have a bit more of a living person's aura."
This made Toji a little helpless. He wanted to retort, was he a dead person before?
But after thinking about it, before Zenin Kiyoshi came, his life was indeed no different from that of a dead person.
He lived in a muddle every day, eating one meal a day, or five meals a day, sleeping until the afternoon, staying up until the early morning, not showering or washing his hair for a few days, and no one would care, let alone ask.
But now, after Zenin Kiyoshi came, he would feel that his body odor was unpleasant, that his work and rest were disordered, that he was disturbing his health by doing so, and he was always managing him in various places.
How to describe this feeling...
It's not bad.
