Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 273 Xuan Mi

Xuanya actually came to this mountain earlier than anyone else, earlier than Tanjiro and the others, earlier than Inosuke, and even before Rinko officially came to visit this mountain, he had already returned to this mountain and received training from the Rock Pillar.

But Rinko was the last to greet this long-lost friend.

Not long after, another reunion occurred at night, in the woods with the moon high in the sky. The moonlight shone through the mist-like clouds, passing through the entire night, and pouring into the forest through the gaps between the branches. In the middle of the clearing, on top of a huge rock, the boy was sitting there. Xuan Mi didn't know when he came.

Boys have always been like this, like a cat. When you look at him from afar, he is quiet and peaceful, leaving you only his back. Occasionally, he is generous and willing to share half of his profile with you. Before you get close, it is like he appears silently, and disappears without a trace in an instant, without leaving you even a clue.

Like a cat, like a stray cat, he does not belong to any room or house. The grass is his soft mattress and the moonlight is his thin blanket. He belongs to himself and to freedom.

But it just so happens that a boy like this, a little fellow who is like a wild cat, always comes to visit you when you least expect it, through the window that you forgot to close, through the crack of the door that you did not close, just swaggering in, as if he is returning to his own territory, to visit you.

Xuan Mi didn't know how the boy came, nor did he know why he came. But when he came back after a good rest and was ready to continue challenging the boulder, he saw that scene. On the boulder that he had been working with for several days, there was a small shadow sitting with his hands behind his back, his little head raised high, his face facing the dark night sky, and he didn't know which star he was counting. His legs hung down, shaking gently on the smooth surface of the boulder, as if indicating that he was in a good mood today.

The 'invader' came silently and occupied his boulder, but the owner of the territory was not angry. He just walked forward slowly, stood under the boulder, and looked up at this familiar guest.

"It's a nice day tonight."

Xuan Mi spoke softly, and the boy turned to look at him, seemingly not surprised by his visit.

"The moon is beautiful tonight, would you like to come sit with me?"

Lin Guang stretched out his hand towards him, as if this was the boy's territory. Xuan Mi felt that this scene was a little absurd, but in the absurdity, he also felt a little funny. The small hand held his, with more strength than expected, and easily pulled him onto the boulder. He had been living with this boulder for some time, but had never been on it. The view from the high vantage point was better than expected. The surrounding area was the familiar forest, but because of the different height, it seemed to have a different feeling.

"The moon is beautiful, and so are the stars."

I looked up following the sound, and what came into view was a sky full of stars. It was indeed a beautiful night view, but why had I never noticed it before?

"You're amazing to find a place like this."

"Did Xuanya go to train with Mr. Tomioka?"

"Not really. I came directly here."

Even breathing is difficult during the period of accumulating energy, and it is even more difficult to spare the energy to speak.

After all, the rest time was only a short moment. Even though it was a rare opportunity to meet Lin Guang, Xuan Mi quickly jumped off the stone and continued to study how to move the huge stone.

Lin Guang had actually noticed Xuanya here a long time ago, but the other party was busy at that time, so he didn't disturb him. Later, Inosuke was around him and he had no free time, so the greetings he was supposed to go to were delayed.

"So. Is Xuan Mi's injury gone now?"

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore!"

As he spoke, his breathing went from smooth to low, each time deeper than the last. His arms, waist, abdomen, legs and feet were exerting force, and the muscles all over his body were tense. Lingguang could hear Xuanmi mumbling, but he couldn't understand what he was saying. He just vaguely felt that some of the words seemed to overlap with what Xingming mentioned.

But that was also something he couldn't understand.

Xuanya's progress was obviously faster than Tanjiro's. He accumulated strength while whispering, and with the correct force, the boulder was pushed, although it was only a little, but with the change from zero to one, the boulder that seemed unshakable to humans could also be moved elsewhere.

-

"I heard from Tanjiro that he and Shimizu got into a fight."

Lingguang remained silent until Xuanmi collapsed to the ground exhausted. Then he walked over, opened the lid of the kettle, handed it to the other's mouth, slowly tilted it at an angle, and let the other drink some slowly before speaking.

"Is that right?"

This seemed to be an unexpected question from the other party, because Xuan Mi choked instantly and coughed one after another. Lingguang helped him up so that he could sit down against the stone and put the kettle aside.

"How do you know this?"

"Tanjiro told me. He said that Shigeya didn't want Genya to stay in the Demon Slayer Corps, and when he couldn't convince him, they started fighting."

"That's right... not wrong."

Happiness and sadness are two very easy to distinguish emotions. The former is almost as dazzling as the bright moon and can be noticed as soon as you see it, while the latter is not so conspicuous, but can still be noticed. A sad person is like being soaked in water, with a damp and heavy atmosphere all around.

A hand fell on his head. Xuan Mi looked up and saw Lin Guang looking at him with his head tilted. The hand that fell on his head also came from the other party. The small hand stroked his head and patted it gently.

As if sensing his confusion, Rinkou winked at him.

"Xuan Mi looks very sad."
