Ghost Slayer: My Wife Kanao

The merchants began to light a fire.

The light began to dispel the darkness of the ruined temple, bringing some warmth.

Everyone sat on the ground without any hesitation and began to rest. Some people even started to eat rough rations.

The young man who resembled Giyu Tomioka didn't eat. After finishing his work, he sat alone in the corner by the fire, covering his cloth bag with a happy smile on his face.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the young man raised his head involuntarily and met a pair of golden eyes.

"It seems you cherish that item very much. Is it something precious?" Sam Miller smiled and pointed to the cloth bag in Giyu's hand.

Giyu showed a hint of caution but sensed that the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent, which somewhat eased his mind.

Carefully, he opened the cloth bag, revealing a female hairpin.

Under the faint light, it exuded a psychedelic glow.

"Very beautiful," Sam couldn't help but praise.

Hearing the admiration, Giyu's face lit up with happiness. "This is for my sister. I think she will like it very much."

At that moment, Giyu imagined the hairpin beautifully adorning his sister Tsutako Tomioka's black hair, enhancing her fair skin.

Since childhood, he and his sister had lost their father, and relying on the property left behind, they had struggled to live together.

His sister had always taken good care of him. Now, with her getting married, he decided to work with a traveling trader and saved enough money to buy this hairpin for her.

"Your sister will definitely like it, and she'll praise you as a good brother," Sam said, smiling. However, thinking of Giyu's future circumstances, he couldn't help but frown.

If the anime is correct, on the day before Giyu's sister's wedding, the Tomioka family was attacked by a demon. Giyu survived because his sister hid him, but he lost all his relatives, including his sister.

"My sister won't praise me," Giyu shook his head. His hardworking sister would probably frown and say it was "too wasteful" for such a beautiful hairpin.

However, no matter what she says, he knew his sister would be happy in her heart.

"Your sister, you really have a good brother," Sam remarked.

"No, I have a good sister."

"If possible, I hope my sister can live happily ever after," Giyu spoke earnestly.

"If possible, I truly hope to see what a sister who can raise such a good brother looks like."

He sighed.

"You're welcome to be a guest at my house," Giyu offered enthusiastically.

After all, he was still not deeply involved in the world, inviting someone over without knowing their details, not fearing he might be inviting a demon into his home.

"Thank you very much, but I wouldn't want to trouble you," Sam smiled. If possible, he hoped to help Giyu in some way.

He didn't want Giyu to fall into self-blame in the future, unable to escape the psychological shadow for a while.

"No trouble at all," Giyu said, scratching his head. He then pointed to the girl sitting blankly not far away. "Is that girl your sister?"

"No, she's my fiancée," Sam replied with a smile.

"She looks a bit..." Giyu observed, sensing something about the girl.

"Well, Kanao doesn't like talking to people very much," Sam explained. "But she's a very nice girl."
