Unmei is extremely sensitive to the aura of Kabane.
Even if a human has not yet transformed into a Kabane, as long as the virus is injected into their body, Unmei can sense a trace of the aura even during the transformation process.
When Seikoma transformed into a Kabane-ri, Unmei immediately noticed.
This shows how sensitive Unmei is to the aura of Kabane.
Perhaps this is a skill that can only be developed after becoming a Kabane-ri?
However, at this moment, Unmei could not sense any aura of Kabane from Seikoma.
So, no matter what others think, Unmei believes.
Seikoma has indeed turned back into a human.
And among the people Unmei knows, there is only one person who can do this.
"Only that guy can do it..."
After all, not long ago, that guy just did the same thing.
Therefore, Unmei has reason to believe that the Kabane virus in Seikoma's body was also eliminated by Fouri.
No.
To be more precise, it should be said that it was killed.
By killing the part of Seikoma's body that had become Kabane, Fouri turned Seikoma back into a human.
"Can he even kill the Kabane virus that has already completed its transformation?"
Actually, strictly speaking, only after a complete transformation into a Kabane is the transformation considered complete.
Like a Kabane-ri, which exists between human and Kabane, can only be considered half-transformed, almost the same as the pregnant woman who was bitten by a Kabane before.
So, Fouri could still turn Seikoma back into a human by killing the virus that had only half-transformed.
If it were a completely transformed Kabane, Fouri would probably be unable to do anything.
Because it is already a complete Kabane, with no remaining human part.
If it were a Kabane-ri who still has a human part, then after Fouri kills the Kabane part, the remaining part would naturally be the human part, and the Kabane-ri would be able to turn back into a human.
But if the object is a completely transformed Kabane, and Fouri kills the "Kabane" part, then he would completely kill the Kabane, making it impossible for it to come back to life and turn back into a human.
In the end, the Straight Death Magic Eye can only guide the object towards death, not a saving ability.
However, in fact, Fouri did save two people with the power of the Straight Death.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly arose in Unmei's mind.
"If Seikoma can turn back into a human, then I can too..."
This thought, as soon as it arose in Unmei's mind, Unmei was startled by it and shook her head vigorously.
"No! No way! I can't!"
Yes.
Unmei can't.
It's not that Unmei can't turn back into a human.
If Seikoma can turn back into a human by relying on the remaining human part, then Unmei, who is also only half-transformed into a Kabane-ri, can naturally turn back into a human.
But once she turns back into a human, Unmei will lose something very important.
Something very important to Unmei.
"Turning back into a human, I won't be able to fight anymore!"
——Fighting.
That is the only function Unmei was given after becoming a Kabane-ri, and it can also be considered Unmei's current reason for living.
If she loses this reason...
"I will definitely be abandoned..."
Fear began to grow in Unmei's heart.
It is a feeling that arises from not wanting to be abandoned.
However, in contrast to this fear, a feeling full of hope also began to grow in Unmei's heart.
"Turning back into a human..."
It was a small hope that she had never thought of before.
But this small hope was immediately crushed by Unmei.
Suddenly, Unmei's heart became extremely complex, and she stomped her foot, speaking angrily.
"It's all that guy's fault!"
That's right.
It's all that guy's fault.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be so anxious.
"I have to find him and settle the score!"
With this idea, Unmei glared at Seikoma.
"You... What do you want to do?" Seikoma said in a trembling voice without any backbone: "I... I'm telling you, I'm not a Kabane-ri anymore. If you hit me like before, I will definitely be seriously injured."
"If you don't want to be hit, answer my questions honestly." Unmei said in a dissatisfied tone: "Where is that guy now?"
"That guy?" Seikoma was taken aback, then hesitated for a moment before tentatively asked: "Do you mean Fouri?"
"Who else?" Unmei said directly: "Tell me where he is quickly, I'm going to find him and settle the score!"
Hearing this, Seikoma opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Unmei frowned and stared straight at Seikoma, saying: "You're not trying to protect him, are you?"
Seikoma did not answer, remaining silent.
Seeing this, Unmei's frown deepened, and even the onlookers asked.
"Seikoma." Shikibu Ayame said with some concern: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Fouri?"
Shikibu Ayame's words made Kuchiki Raisu and Kawa Kibito exchange glances, also looking at Seikoma.
Kuchiki Raisu even questioned: "What exactly happened?"
Seikoma's expression immediately became difficult, as if he didn't know how to express it.
This made Unmei furious.
"Speak up!" Unmei said very angrily: "You didn't do something to him, did you?"
"I didn't!" Seikoma reflexively retorted, then said somewhat helplessly: "I don't know what happened either."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
"I only remember my body suddenly becoming very weak, my throat was very dry, and then my consciousness became blurry." Seikoma's tone was full of uncertainty: "After that, Fouri seemed to come to the carriage to see me and said a few words, but my consciousness was very blurry, and I didn't hear clearly. When I woke up, I found that I had turned back into a human."
"But, there was one sentence in what Fouri said to me that I remember." Seikoma's expression tightened.
"He said he was about to leave."
"Leave?" Shikibu Ayame and the others were completely surprised.
Unmei's eyes widened slightly, then she suddenly turned her head and rushed into the forest at the fastest speed.
On the open ground, the commotion gradually spread.
