Chapter 59 Beans (1/5)
No one knows what the blue spider lily looks like or where it blooms.
Perhaps the physician who once treated Muzan Kibutsuji knew, but unfortunately, he was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji a thousand years ago, which has become one of the things Muzan Kibutsuji regrets the most.
As dawn broke and a sliver of starlight appeared, Kanao groggily opened her eyes.
"Awoo!"
The girl hugged the thick clothes covering her body and wriggled slightly in the warm little nest.
"Uncle, I don't want to get up!"
The girl turned her head to look at the evil spirit squatting in front of the campfire.
"It's still early, go back to sleep."
Su Mu looked up at the outside of the cave. Dawn had just broken, and the sun's rays seemed to have just peeked over the horizon. A thin layer of mist still lingered in the forest.
For humankind, at this moment, it is just the beginning of dawn.
Kanao buried her head in the thick clothes, then quickly poked it out and lifted the clothes covering her.
Although she knew that no matter how long she slept, her uncle would allow it and wouldn't blame her, she also really wanted to stay in her warm little nest.
But more important than all of that is helping my uncle find the blue spider lily.
"I'm going to find the red spider lily for my uncle."
The girl approached the campfire and spoke to the demon sitting there.
Su Mu looked up, his scarlet eyes fixed on Kanao, patted her head, and handed her a bowl of hot porridge that he had cooked earlier.
The girl took the bowl, held it, and ate it in small bites.
Suddenly, a peeled egg was handed to her.
Kanao looked up and was met with the demon's scarlet eyes. The demon was holding a peeled egg and handing it to her with a gentle smile.
The girl blinked her pinkish-purple eyes.
"Eat up, you have to eat two eggs every morning so you can grow tall."
Su Mu said something.
Kanao took it, took a small bite, and then lowered her head to sip the hot porridge.
The warm porridge and fragrant eggs, eaten little by little, bring a gentle warmth to my heart.
After finishing her meal, Kanao put down her small bowl and patted her tummy with satisfaction: "I'm so full!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu couldn't help but glance at the girl, who just looked up and gave him a charming smile.
Su Mu found it amusing and straightened her clothes, bandaged her ankles, and tied up her messy hair.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like Kanao had grown taller. He put his hand on Kanao's head and compared it to his own body, but found that he hadn't grown taller. Well, it hadn't been that long. Even if a child develops well, it's impossible for them to grow that fast.
However, upon closer inspection of the girl, it became clear that the thin, frail little girl had been eating well and had not been beaten or scolded these past few days. Although the journey had been bumpy, she had been well protected. Now, her complexion was rosy and she had gained quite a bit of weight.
That's why he looks taller.
He smiled, feeling a strange sense of accomplishment as he looked at the girl he had taken such good care of.
It has a sense of nurturing.
"Uncle, I'm going out to find the red spider lilies for you."
"It's still early."
"It's getting late, I want to help Uncle find the flowers as soon as possible."
Kanao clenched her fist slightly.
The girl's face was full of excitement.
Seeing the girl's expectant eyes, Su Mu couldn't refuse. He simply squatted down and carefully straightened her clothes, while instructing her, "If you encounter any danger, run back immediately. Don't go to any steep areas, don't play in the stream, and don't—"
Before he knew it, Su Mu had been talking for about half an hour. When he realized it, he couldn't help but chuckle. He looked at Kanao, who seemed to be listening without getting bored, and patted the girl's head: "Go on."
Kanao nodded, picked up the basket her uncle had made for her, and walked out of the cave with a sense of joy.
The gentle morning sunlight fell on her. Standing in the sunlight, the girl looked into the dark cave and saw those scarlet eyes.
"Uncle, I'm going to find flowers."
The girl waved to her uncle, then slung her basket over her shoulder and walked away into the distance.
The mountain path was not easy to walk on, and the dew was heavy. In no time, my clothes were soaked by the morning dew and clung to my body.
Kanao didn't know what the blue spider lily looked like, only that it was a flower that bloomed during the day.
"Uncle will be very happy when we find the red spider lily for him."
She bent down and picked another flower, and Kanae's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
She will definitely help her uncle find the red spider lily.
"Waaaaah————"
"Um."
A low sobbing sound came from the ground and reached Kanao's ears as she was picking flowers. Kanao blinked, took a few steps forward naturally, jumped onto a grave mound, and looked toward the source of the sound.
In the distance, in front of a grave, a girl in a pink kimono with long, flowing hair sat or knelt before a tombstone, whispering something to it, with occasional soft sobs.
Kanao scratched her head, wondering why the girl was crying.
Seemingly sensing something, the girl in the pink kimono with long, gentle hair looked up and saw Kanao standing on the grave. The girl's beautiful face was filled with shock, and she didn't bother to wipe away the tears on her face. She pointed at Kanao with her little finger: "You—you—how could you stand on the grave?"
Kanao blinked, looked down at the tombstone she was standing on, then looked up at the girl with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Can't I step on this spot?
"Come down quickly, you can't just stand there."
Midouzi pouted slightly, her little face flushed red with anger. These graves were the graves of the Kamado family's ancestors, and this girl, who seemed to have come from nowhere, was standing on top of them, which made her quite angry.
Kanao hesitated for a moment, but still jumped down from the tombstone.
Midouzi also came running over, somewhat angry: "How could you stand on the tombstone? Didn't your father and mother tell you that standing on a tombstone is disrespectful to the deceased? It's very impolite and a very overstepping act—"
Kanao blinked her pinkish-purple eyes and tilted her head to look at the tombstone she had just stepped on.
Mizuko had already arrived at the tombstone and respectfully kowtowed. Then, pouting, she said to Kanao, "Why don't you come and apologize? It won't be good if the ancestors are angry."
Kanao blinked.
Mizuko also knelt before the tombstone that Kanao had just stepped on: "Please don't blame her for her unintentional mistake—"
While apologizing to the person being buried, Nezuko looked at Kanao and asked, "Didn't your father and mother tell you these things?"
Even now, the other party remains unmoved. Don't they know how wrong this behavior is? Didn't their parents teach them anything?
"Dad, Mom died a long time ago."
Kanao tilted her head and looked at Mizuko.
I don't understand why my parents would say these things to me.
Midouzi: "————"
She was initially angry at Kanao's actions and full of accusations against her, but at this moment, Nezuko suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and a strong sense of guilt.
Own----
Isn't that going a bit too far?
