Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Horitake held the mayor's arm and refused to let him kneel down:

"Old man, you are so old now, I appreciate your gratitude, but please don't express your gratitude in this way, I will shorten my life if you kneel to me, okay! ?"

Even though he has traveled through time for more than ten years, Hori Gaku still can't get used to these great gifts from Japan. He can't stand kneeling at every turn.

After all, Hori Gaku's soul still comes from that peaceful and equal society, and he still can't accept this in his bones.

How strong is Hori Gaku? Being stopped by Hori Gaku, the old mayor couldn't kneel down at all.

Who knew that at this time, Nobutaro's father also joined in the trouble.

Nobutaro's father put down the lantern and knelt down to thank Hori Gaku:

"I am so grateful to you for saving my son.……"

His kneeling seemed to have triggered a chain reaction. Many townspeople around him also knelt down to thank Hori Gaku. Most of those who knelt down to thank him were parents with children.

Hori Gaku was panicked. He was really panicked.

He had never encountered such a situation in his previous life or this life combined.

Hori Gaku wanted to stop them, but if he let go, the old mayor would also kneel down.

What should he do?

There was really no other way. Hori Gaku supported the old mayor who was about to kneel down to thank him, and could only reluctantly accept the kneeling thanks of others.

""Okay, okay, everyone, please stand up. I accept your gratitude, but please don't do this again. This is not the Warring States period. The Meiji period is over!"

Everyone stood up, and the mayor no longer insisted on kneeling to thank him. Only then did Horitake let go.

Wiping the cold sweat from his head, Horitake couldn't help but complain:

"I wasn't this nervous when I faced the devils. You are much more powerful than the devils."

As he said this, Horitake saw the group of homeless children and said seriously:

"By the way, I hope you can lend a helping hand to these children, and adopt and take care of them as much as possible. They are homeless now, which is so pitiful."

In a sense, the townspeople should take some responsibility for these children becoming orphans.

At the beginning, when the dead thorns road would eat a couple at any time, these townspeople chose to protect themselves out of fear. The so-called self-protection is a kind of standing by and watching.

So now when the townspeople see these children, they feel very guilty. When

Hori Gaku mentioned this, everyone responded, calling those children, trying their best to show their kindness, and wanted to adopt them.

These children, because of long-term psychological torture, are now a little paranoid, like frightened rabbits, facing the enthusiasm and kindness of so many people, they are a little scared.

At the critical moment, it was the old mayor who came forward to take charge of the situation. He knocked on the ground with his cane and shouted:

"Stop it, stop it! You scared the children! Stop it!

Listen to me!

We have to adopt these children, but we can't adopt them randomly.

Although these children's parents are gone, they still have relatives, right?

I think it's best to let the children's relatives adopt them. For children, it's better to have someone they know than a stranger. After all, they are blood relatives.

Those relatives, come out and claim the children you know!

When the parents of these children were eaten, you didn't say anything, now you should take responsibility!"

The mayor was still strong and found the best solution quickly. He also pricked the townspeople lightly, making them feel a little embarrassed.

Soon, the relatives of these children came out from the crowd. They found their nephews or nieces with some shame and wanted to take them away.

Don't underestimate this sense of shame. This sense of shame can guarantee the quality of life of these children after they are adopted.

Seeing that the people who adopted them were acquaintances, and they were relatives such as uncles, uncles, and uncles, the children's vigilance was greatly reduced, and they followed the adults obediently.

During the process of recognition and adoption, Horitake whispered to the mayor:

"It seems that the follow-up work can be left to you."

The old mayor noticed that Horitake was going to leave and hurriedly stopped him:

"Sir, are you leaving?"

"Yes, the ghost has been eliminated, and it's time for me to leave"

"How can this be? We in Dongma Town have not thanked you properly yet! Please rest in the town for a few days. We in Dongma Town will……"

Horitake stopped the mayor from speaking, and said sincerely:

"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't.

We, the Demon Slayer Corps, are an organization hidden in the dark, not recognized by the government. We have been killing demons in secret and are rarely known to the public.

Being thanked by the whole town today is already very high-profile for me, and I can't expand the influence any further.

What's more, I have other tasks to complete and other demons to kill.

Touma Town is not the only place endangered by demons. I must kill as many demons as possible and protect as many people as possible. I really can't stay in one place for too long."

Hori Gaku said this, and the mayor couldn't force him to stay, so he could only nod:

"In that case... well, I can only wish you good luck in military affairs!"

"There is one more thing. If Touma Town is invaded by ghosts again, you can go to nearby towns and look for families with wisteria flowers and ask them for help. Maybe you can contact our Demon Slayer Corps.

If Touma Town wants to avoid the invasion of ghosts, you can plant wisteria flowers around the town and in the town. Ghosts hate wisteria flowers, so they dare not approach.

Of course, the planting conditions of wisteria flowers are quite special. Whether they can survive in Touma Town depends on God's will."

Listening to Horitake's instructions, the old mayor nodded continuously and became more and more moved:

"I've made a note of this. If you pass by our Dongma Town in the future, please let us do our best to be your host."

"There will be a chance."

After saying this, Horitake calmly withdrew from the crowd, with a flash of electric arc on his body, and quietly left here and left Dongma Town.

Soon, more than a dozen orphans were adopted.

Although many tragedies occurred, every child was settled, and the final ending was a happy one.

The townspeople looked for Horitake at the same time, and were surprised to find that Horitake was gone! I don't know when he left!

There was a chaos and noise, and everyone looked everywhere.

It was only when the old mayor hit the ground with his cane that everyone calmed down.

"No need to look for him! That adult has already left!"

What!? Gone!?" Everyone was talking about it, and Xin Tailang's father was a little unhappy:

"Mr. Mayor, how can you let this gentleman go like this?"

Looking at Xin Tailang's father, the old mayor said unhappily:

"Do you think that adult is idle and doing nothing like you?

He still needs to kill other evil spirits! He has a lot of responsibilities!

That adult is a truly noble person. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again.

Okay, okay, everyone, go home!

Nobutaro's father! You stay with me! Help me deal with the remaining trivial matters!"

The townspeople gradually dispersed.

Hori Gaku had already run far away from Dongma Town. After running a distance along the main road, Hori Gaku stopped and looked back in the direction of Dongma Town.

He had a hunch that he might have another intersection with Dongma Town in the future. He just hoped that the next time he came to Dongma Town, he would not come to kill ghosts.

Hori Gaku had a good hunch. The next time he came to Dongma Town, he was indeed not coming to kill ghosts, but he was not coming for any good things.

But that was a long time in the future.
