A hint of dawn passed across the horizon.
It was almost dawn when Kochou Shinobu returned to the Butterfly House.
She briefly said goodbye to the only team member who caught up with her, and then walked towards the Butterfly House.
In the dim sunlight, Kochou Shinobu saw a figure waiting for him at the door.
Romeo.
Why is he sitting here?
Kochou Shinobu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party seemed to be safe.
At this time Romeo also saw Kochou Shinobu.
He stood up and walked towards Kochou Shinobu.
A ray of light sneaked out from the gap between the clouds, shone down, and reflected on Romeo's face.
Kochou Shinobu couldn't help but stare at it in a daze.
The two were getting closer and closer.
Kochou Shinobu then realized that Romeo was holding a bandage in one hand and a small medicine box in the other.
She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Romeo, are you waiting for me?"
Romeo did not answer Kochou Shinobu's words, but walked over and held Kochou Shinobu's hand directly.
Kochou Shinobu's head immediately felt numb.
Seeing Romeo holding her hand, she somehow did not resist.
Romeo spoke with foresight: "Are you injured?"
Kochou Shinobu is a great help.
Only then did he realize that Romeo was not taking advantage of him, but had seen the injury on his hand.
Although she tried her best to hide it, her little thoughts were still discovered by Romeo.
Kochou Shinobu felt a little guilty for some reason: "No...no."
"Come with me."
Romeo and Kochou Shinobu sat in front of the door.
He opened the medicine box and lifted up the other person's sleeves.
Kochou Shinobu has very thin arms and fair skin. It is hard to imagine that such small arms can lift such heavy Nichirin Blades.
With the arms fully revealed.
Romeo also saw the wound clearly.
A cut caused by a blunt object ran from the wrist to the elbow!
Romeo frowned and disinfected Kochou Shinobu's wound meticulously.
"It hurts~" Kochou Shinobu couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
"Don't move. The wound has not been treated for a long time and has begun to become inflamed."
Romeo held Kochou Shinobu's arm tightly, his eyes focused.
Kochou Shinobu couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Normally, she was used to handling these minor injuries herself.
It doesn't hurt at all!
But she felt so painful when Romeo sat next to her.
Although the wound was painful, Romeo was extremely careful.
The cold medicine seemed particularly warm when applied to his arm.
Unconsciously, Romeo gradually overlapped with a figure in Kochou Shinobu's mind.
"Sister." Kochou Shinobu blurted out.
Romeo was stunned when he heard this.
He looked at Kochou Shinobu speechlessly.
Why do all girls like to call him sister?
I didn't even wear women's clothes! Did I ask for Romeo's opinion before changing my gender privately?
Romeo, who was extremely vengeful, moved the medicine in his hand towards Kochou Shinobu's armpit.
The girl suddenly laughed like a silver bell.
"Hahaha~, you are so bad, Mr. Romeo!"
"So I stopped?"
"don't want."
After saying that, Kochou Shinobu regretted it.
Why am I so unreserved? Romeo is my younger brother!
What on earth are you thinking about?
But Romeo didn't seem to hear it, which made Kochou Shinobu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Shinobu, are you still angry?"
Romeo suddenly raised his head and stared straight into Kochou Shinobu's eyes.
The name also changed from Sister Shinobu to just Shinobu.
You can see Kochou Shinobu's expression stiffened for a moment.
"Mr. Romeo, what did you just say?"
Romeo repeated his words: "I said, you are angry."
Kochou Shinobu was silent.
Her smile disappeared without a trace.
"Yeah, maybe I've always been angry."
"Ever since my sister, Kochou Kanae, was murdered by a demon."
"Every time I see people shed tears because their important people were taken away by ghosts."
"Whenever I hear their desperate cries."
"Whenever I can't hold the knife and chop off a demon's head."
"Anger is accumulating and swelling in my heart, and deep in my body there is an inextinguishable disgust."
As he spoke, Kochou Shinobu's wound became more and more painful.
The pain was so severe that she wanted to let Romeo know.
"My sister entrusted me with her dream before she died, but I can't do it at all!"
"I'm a little tired. Ghosts always lie. In order to protect themselves, they are irrational and will kill people based on their blatant instincts."
"I can't forgive them at all!"
"Perhaps, all I can do now is to make my sister like my smile and not stop?"
Kochou Shinobu's eyes dimmed quickly, and he pulled his hand out of Romeo's arms.
"I'm sorry, Romeo-jun, I talked a little too much today."
"Thank you for the bandage. Please take good care of yourself in the future."
A hint of paleness gradually appeared on the horizon.
The girl's figure had disappeared at the door.
Kanzaki Aoi, who had just gone out, was about to come out to pour water when she saw Romeo sitting alone at the doorstep, silently packing up his things.
"Mr. Romeo, have you practiced sword all night?" Kanzaki Aoi stared at Romeo blankly.
Suddenly, an inexplicable gap appeared in my heart.
That means people who are better than you work harder than you!
Kanzaki Aoi feels this way now.
Just as Kanzaki Aoi was about to urge Romeo to take a rest, Xiao Caihui's voice suddenly came from the room: "Master Shinobu is back!"
Kanzaki Aoi hurried back.
Romeo packed up simply and then walked into the room.
At the same time, in the boudoir on the second floor of Butterfly House.
A curtain slowly dropped as Romeo left.
Through the faint sunlight, you can still see a pair of young girl's eyes behind the window.
...
Romeo was really tired.
He fainted almost as soon as he stepped through the door.
It was already afternoon when he woke up.
Romeo opened his eyes.
The first person to see was Kanao.
Kanao was seen kneeling quietly beside him, looking at Romeo quietly.
After finding out that Romeo woke up.
Kanao opened his mouth and held Romeo's hand tightly.
But he just refused to speak.
Romeo smiled. He thought that he must have fainted when he came back and scared the girls.
At this time, Kanzaki Aoi also came over with a small cake.
"Kanao, don't always hold Mr. Romeo's hand. This is not conducive to Mr. Romeo's rest."
Kanzaki Aoi placed the small cake on the table.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Romeo who had woken up.
Kanzaki Aoi immediately shouted excitedly:
"Mr. Romeo has woken up! Kanao, why don't you call us!"
"Xiaoqing Xiaocheng Xiaocaihui! Mr. Romeo has woken up!"
Kanzaki Aoi hurried to the corridor and shouted to the next room.
After a while, Romeo heard footsteps coming from next door.
