Chapter 128 Whose subordinate is this?

Chapter 128 Whose subordinate is this?

"Oh my, Ah Bunai Ah Bunai."

Kanae Butterfly reacted quickly and caught the plate that slipped from Aoi Kanzaki's hand.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kanzaki Aoi, who was still a little shaken, and said, "Aoi, are you alright? It's been so long since I've seen you. I didn't expect even you to become clumsy. You can't even hold the food tray properly."

"Kaori—Kaname-neechan?!"

Kanzaki Aoi covered her mouth, looking dazed and incredulous.

But she remembered that the other person had already passed away, and even the pink and green butterfly-shaped hair ornament she was wearing was given to Kanao Tsuyuri by Shinobu Kocho after that.

The pink and white butterfly-shaped hair accessory she originally wore was replaced with a pink and green butterfly-shaped hair accessory belonging to Kanae Butterfly.

"A dream! It's just a dream!"

Therefore, Kanzaki Aoi quickly came to a conclusion.

I must be dreaming.

Otherwise, how could I have seen Shinobu Kocho walking out of a man's room early in the morning, her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray?

And when they came out of there, they were even holding hands with Kanae Kocho, who had passed away two years ago.

"No, no, Kanzaki Aoi, you need to wake up right now."

Kanzaki Aoi shook her head, clenched her small fist and placed it on her chest, and said seriously, "There are still many things waiting for you to handle at the Butterfly Mansion. You can't keep sleeping in."

"Because this is the only thing you can do for Kanae-neechan and the Demon Slayer Corps. Go for it, Kanzaki Aoi!"

After saying that, Kanzaki Aoi paused, looked at the butterfly Kanae in front of her, and said seriously, "Kanae-neechan, although I miss you very much, I have to wake up now."

"I will carry on your legacy, take good care of the Butterfly Mansion, and look after Kanao and the others."

At this point, Kanzaki Aoi thought for a moment, then added, "Especially Shinobu-sama—"

In her heart, if there was anyone in the Butterfly Mansion that she was most worried about, it would undoubtedly be Shinobu Kocho.

Since her older sister Kanae's death, the changes that have occurred in her are almost visible to the naked eye.

However, she was unable to overcome her psychological barriers to confront the evil spirit and help it, and she also lacked talent in medicine.

Aside from helping with the affairs of the Butterfly Mansion, they were completely unable to offer any assistance in avenging Kanae Chocho.

Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as Shinobu Kocho went down a dark path.

"Oh my, so in Aoi's eyes, I'm someone who needs special care?"

Shinobu Kocho spoke in her usual light and cheerful tone, only emphasizing the words "special care" slightly.

"Shinobu Kocho-sama—"

Upon hearing this, Kanzaki Aoi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

She was smiling, but she looked far more terrifying than the impulsive and easily angered Shinobu Kocho from before.

However, after glancing at Kanae Kocho standing next to Shinobu Kocho...

Suddenly it dawned on me that this was a dream, and that Kanae-neechan was there too.

In reality, I respect you, but this is my dream. Do you think I'd let you bully me?

Then wouldn't all those dreams have been for nothing?

"Shinobu Kocho-sama!"

Kanzaki Aoi took a deep breath and then said loudly, "Girls should live more frankly. Cry when you need to cry, and laugh when you need to laugh."

"You can't keep imitating Kanae-neechan like this. If Kanae-neechan were still alive, she definitely wouldn't want to see you like this."

As Kanzaki Aoi spoke her innermost thoughts to Kocho Shinobu, which she usually dared not tell her, she reached out and tried to gently smooth away the fake smile on Shinobu's face.

Shinobu Kocho was caught off guard by Aoi Kanzaki's sudden boldness.

She actually watched helplessly as the other person's hand moved around on her face.

Not long after, Kanzaki Aoi watched as Shinobu Kocho, through her own efforts, put away her fake smile and became normal again.

He nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Kanae Butterfly beside him and asked, "That's much better, right, Kanae-neechan?"

"You really dare to say that!"

Shinobu glanced at her older sister, Kanae Kocho, who was covering her mouth and chuckling beside her.

An awkward feeling welled up inside me.

He then narrowed his eyes, a tic-tac-toe symbol slowly appearing on his forehead, and addressed Kanzaki Aoi by her full name, enunciating each syllable clearly: "Kanzaki Aoi!"

"What's wrong?"

Kanzaki Aoi, hands on her hips, said with an air of righteousness, "I'm just telling the truth."

As Kanzaki Aoi finished speaking, the air became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Su Yan's head popped out from behind the door, resting on Kanae Butterfly's shoulder, and he looked at Aoi Kanzaki in front of him with a curious expression.

Good heavens, whose subordinate is this?

How could he be so brave?

How dare they confront Shinobu Kocho head-on at the Butterfly Mansion?

With an irrepressible smile on her face, Kanae Butterfly leaned close to Su Yan's ear and whispered a few words to him.

Su Yan then realized that Kanzaki Aoi, just like Shinobu Kocho earlier, was treating Kanae Kocho's appearance as a dream.

This is really interesting.

How would she react if she knew this wasn't a dream?

Then try to make things more interesting.

Thinking this, Su Yan reached out to Kanzaki Aoi and gently flicked her forehead.

"pain----"

Kanzaki Aoi touched the spot on her forehead where Su Yan had flicked her, and instinctively cried out.

Wait, isn't this a dream?

Why do I feel pain?

Kanzaki Aoi first glanced at Kocho Shinobu, whose expression wasn't very pleasant.

Then she glanced at Kanae Kocho and Su Yan, who were covering their mouths and chuckling next to Shinobu Kocho.

Masaka?

Kanzaki Aoi suddenly realized what was happening, and her mind went completely blank.

Cold sweat began to pour down my forehead, and I was drenched in sweat.

Will I die?

I'm definitely going to die, right?

Not only did she witness Shinobu Kocho's secret of leaving the man's room, but she also reached out and pinched Shinobu's cheek.

He even defiantly retorted a few words to the other party at the end.

"that----"

Seeing the kind expression on Shinobu Kocho's face, Aoi Kanzaki said timidly, "Shinobu-sama, could you please pretend that what happened just now never happened?"

"His initial arrogance followed by his obsequiousness is laughable."

Shinobu Kocho snorted coldly, her expression unfriendly, and said, "Aoi Kanzaki, weren't you being very brave just now? Why did you stop?"

Kanzaki Aoi subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Does she think she's dreaming? Otherwise, why would she dare?!

I wanted to cry but couldn't.

My life has been like walking on thin ice. Do you think I can ever reach the other side?

Finally, Kanzaki Aoi turned her gaze to Kocho Kanae beside her, her eyes blazing with a strong will to survive.

"Kanae-neechan, help me!!!"
