Miyabichi no Onmyouji: Scarlet Butterfly

Attack of the Boars

After a while of running, they stopped at a small cave. Running for quite a while made Choko tired and kneel down, panting, sweat pouring down her head,

"Big sister Choko, oh no, is your condition getting worse again? I'm sorry, I'm so useless that I've gotten you involved"- Ranmaru

"Stupid, how can I abandon my little brother. We're family...cough cough!"- Choko

"You're coughing hard again, this won't be good"- Ranmaru

Every time she moved, Choko would cough hard, which meant that she was overexerting herself. Many times Ranmaru had seen his sister move so hard that she coughed up blood. Even though he had advised her, Choko didn't seem to care much about her own health.

After running this far, those guys probably wouldn't chase after them anymore, but if those guys caught up, what would happen to them?

Suddenly there was a rustling sound that made Ranmaru startled and looked outside, it was a human.

But then suddenly, that man collapsed and was replaced by a demon with pointed ears, a strong body, holding an axe in his left hand and stabbing the man just now.

"Found you! We've been searching for you buddy"

"Wh...Who is he? Did he say he was searching? For me?"- Ranmaru thought

"Oh, you have it on your forehead?"

"This guy...he can see the stone in my forehead?"- Ranmaru thought

"Hey, Banryo! Come here, quick!"

"Yes"

A big man wearing a mask walked closer.

"You are too fast. Oryo Aniki"- Banryo

"Sorry, my bad. You did a good job catching up, though"- Oryo

"He's hug!!! This one is the little brother?"- Ranmaru

Suddenly Ranmaru saw something from the other two demons, they were both wearing something on their hands, the way they were glowing he must have seen it somewhere. Then he remembered that the light was similar to the Jingi stone.

"You can see mine too? So it's true that those have them can see each other's. Moreover..."- Oryo

The demon Oryo looked at the girl with a bandaged face sitting nearby and opened his eyes wide in surprise

"I didn't expect Junsuina to be here too. I really caught a big fish"- Oryo

Realizing that these demons were also pursuing Choko, Ranmaru immediately felt that this situation was really dangerous. Suddenly the demon grabbed Ranmaru's head, intending to bite his head to get the Jingi stone.

"It can't be helped. I'll just eat the whole head, then"- Oryo

"Waahhhh!!!"- Ranmaru

*Snap*

Suddenly a sharp object stabbed Oryo, causing him to retreat a few hairs, Choko's hand immediately wrapped around Ranmaru and then ran really fast to escape from the demons.

Choko had run quite far from the castle, so her legs started to feel heavy, cursing this sick body that limited her movements. In the end, she couldn't run anymore, tripped over something on the ground, Ranmaru fell out of her hands.

It was nothing more than a dead body, there were a lot of dead bodies around here. Wasn't this the village near their house?

Everyone is dead, it's the two demons' doing.

"The hell? We end up going back to the village"- Oryo

Choko tried to get up but was pressed down by the demon Banryo with his hand. She looked at Ranmaru who was still scared.
