Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

The so-called den beasts are a general term used by hunters here to refer to wild beasts that do not hibernate properly in the winter and instead run out to hurt people everywhere.

This name is indeed very vivid for the man-eating bear.

But the premise is that the one who eats people must be a bear.

By eavesdropping on the old hunter's advice to the girl, Hori Yue also knew what was going on with this girl.

The girl's name is Yae. Her father is a senior hunter in Suzi. Although Yae is young, she has learned a lot of skills from her father.

But before that, her father was killed by a mad bear.

Yae's character is stubborn, and when he suddenly encountered a tragic change, his character became even more paranoid. He wanted to kill the man-eating bear at all costs to avenge his father.

Look, every night these days, Yae has been patrolling and hunting in the surrounding mountains and forests, but unfortunately he has not gained anything.

Fortunately, you have not gained anything!

Hori Yue thought, if you really met that guy, I'm afraid you would have died long ago!

After so many days in the mountains and forests at night, she didn't encounter any danger. This girl is also lucky!

In response to the old hunter's advice, the stubborn Yae remained silent for a while, but still chose to refuse.

She turned around and left with her dog, leaving behind a sentence:

"I won't give up!"

How could Horitake let this girl leave like this? He quickly caught up with her from behind Yae, grabbed her shoulders, stopped her and asked:

"Miss Yae, I am very interested in the man-eating bear you mentioned. Can you tell me some information about it?"

Yae turned around and looked at Horitake with a strange look on her face:

"Huh? Who are you?"

Yajyou wasn't the only one who was surprised. Several old hunters around him looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared, especially the one with a knife on his body, and they all became curious and alert.

"Are you an outsider? What are you doing in Suzi?"

"You also heard that there are man-eating bears here. They are very dangerous."

"Yes, nothing, it's better to leave early"

"Why do you want to know about the Li Dungeon? You don't look like a hunter, so why are you so concerned about this kind of beast?"

Faced with these old hunters, Horitake explained:

"Well, I am not very interested in man-eating bears.

But I am worried that the man-eating creature might not be a bear, but something more terrible and terrible than a bear. That would be troublesome.

My job is to deal with those things, so I came to Suzi to see if there is any work to do."

Due to the incoherent explanation of Horitake, the hunters did not lose their vigilance.

"Aren’t bears the ones that eat people?"

"Something scarier and worse than a bear?"

"What it is?"

"I don't know, but he seems to understand what's going on."

"Hey, could you please explain to me what you are doing here?"

"Yes, this beast has eaten nearly twenty people, we must get rid of it!"Yae didn't say anything, but she didn't leave either. She just stood aside and looked at Horitake who was surrounded by hunters.

In her eyes, in addition to vigilance, there was also some... hope.

Looking at the hunters surrounding him, Horitake was a little distressed:

"It seems that I am regarded as a strange person.

I have no choice but to explain it to everyone.

I am worried that it is not a bear that eats people, but a ghost.

That's right, it is the kind of ghost in the rumors you have heard, a terrible monster that can only appear at night and has strong recovery and self-healing abilities.

My job is to kill ghosts."

Several old hunters looked at each other in disbelief.

Come to think of it, this kind of bizarre thing would be doubted if you have not seen it with your own eyes.

Suddenly, an old hunter pointed at Horitake and said in surprise:

"Wait! That strange uniform you are wearing! I think I have seen it somewhere!

Oh right! Last year, there was a family selling charcoal for a living in the mountains over there. They didn’t know what kind of disaster happened and all the people in the family were killed!

It is said that when that family was killed, people wearing strange uniforms like yours appeared nearby!

Tell me! Who are you! ?"

After saying that, the old hunter quickly took off the gun on his back and pointed it at Hori Gaku.

After hearing this, the hunters around were also shocked and pointed their hunting rifles at Hori Gaku.

Hori Gaku was surrounded by hunters with guns for a while. There were four or five guns pointed at him.

This time, Hori Gaku was stunned.

Hori Gaku couldn't help but think carefully about what the hunter had just said.

This sentence contains a lot of information.

He just said that last year, there was a family selling charcoal for a living in the mountains over there. They didn't know what kind of disaster happened and all the people in the family were killed.

He also said that when that family was killed, people near their home Someone wearing a strange uniform like Hori Gaku appeared.

Combined with Hori Gaku's previous speculation, the situation is already very clear.

The family that the old hunter mentioned is Tanjiro's family, the Kamado family!

I didn't expect to find Tanjiro's house nearby, this is really a pleasant surprise!

The old hunter said that when the Kamado family was killed, the person wearing the same strange uniform appeared near their house, and that should be Tomioka Giyuu! After learning the incredible information, Hori Gaku was satisfied. However... looking at the four or five hunting rifles pointed at him and several old hunters who were eyeing him covetously, Hori Gaku was speechless and helpless.

"Uncle, the man you are talking about, who is wearing the same strange uniform as me, has black hair, a blank face, and a strange haori.

His haori is very strange, divided in half, one half is dark reddish brown, and the other half is yellow and green plaid.

Is that right?"

The old hunter was shocked and raised his shotgun to Horitake more cautiously:

"How do you know? Are you an accomplice of that person! ?"

Hori Gaku was completely helpless.

Tomioka Giyuu, Tomioka Giyuu, you are such a jerk, you really screwed me over!

Not only are you considered a murderer, but I, your colleague, have also been implicated by you, you misunderstood!

Although Hori Gaku is not afraid of shotguns or bullets, it would be troublesome if you asked him to attack ordinary people.

Hori Gaku scratched his head and began to think about how to explain this:

"Don't be nervous, guys. I'm not a weird person, nor a murderer or criminal. The weird person I just mentioned is not a murderer either. He is my colleague. We both kill ghosts for a living.

The reason why my colleague appeared near the charcoal burning shop last year was completely by chance. He didn't hurt the people in that shop at all.

Really, how can I explain this to you! ?"

Due to the historical issues left by the bastard Tomioka Giyuu, Horitake really couldn't explain it clearly.

"Oh my, isn't this Horitake-san? It looks like you're not doing well."
