It takes about three days to travel from the northwest town to Asakusa, Tokyo. Jotaro and Tanjiro walked and rested along the way, and it took them until the evening of the day after tomorrow to arrive at this fledgling commercial modern city.

Along the way, Jotaro learned a lot about ghosts through communication with Tanjiro. Creatures like ghosts only appear at night and treat people as food. They have very powerful self-healing abilities. In addition to the toxins of sunlight and wisteria flowers, only the Nichirin Swords used by the Demon Slayers can cause fatal damage to them. I heard that this special knife is made of "gorilla scarlet sand iron" and "gorilla scarlet ore" that absorb sunlight. Jotaro has never heard of such materials before, so it must be unique to this world. some.

"Hey, Tanjiro, do you know how ghosts come from?" Jotaro asked the question that mattered most to him. That bastard narcissistic goddess once said that the energy contained in jewelry would cause harm to the human world. Unimaginable disasters, creatures like ghosts are likely to be caused by forces outside this world, just like the stand-in messenger awakened by the stand-in's arrow. Before things get out of hand, he must find the goddess's lost jewelry as soon as possible.

Tanjiro shook his head, with a little sadness in his eyes, "My master told me that among all the ghosts in the world, only one has blood that can turn people into ghosts. He was a thousand years ago. The first person who turned into a ghost before, his name was Muzan Kibutsuji!"

At this point, the sadness in Tanjiro's eyes turned into anger, and he continued: "This is the guy who killed my family and turned my sister into a ghost!!"

As if sensing Tanjiro's change in mood, there seemed to be something struggling in the wooden box behind him, trying to get out of it. Jotaro was also attracted by this movement. To be honest, he had noticed the strange box behind Tanjiro very early on and never understood what was in it.

"Nezuko?" Tanjiro put down the box behind him, opened the wooden door, and crawled out a petite little girl. After she came out, the little girl's body gradually grew in size, and she soon returned to the size of a girl. .

"This is this?" Jotaro stared at the girl in front of him, looking up and down. After the transformation, the girl was only a little over one and a half meters tall. She was wearing a pink kimono with a black haori on top. Her thick black hair was spread behind her head, and there was a piece of bamboo hanging in her mouth. When Jotaro When he looked at her, her pink eyes were staring at Jotaro motionlessly, and he didn't feel very smart.

"Tanjiro!" Jotaro shouted. He didn't expect that the wooden box behind Tanjiro actually contained a ghost!

Tanjiro bowed to Jotaro and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, jotaro-san (Mr. Jotaro), she is my sister, Nezuko. Although she is a ghost, she will never harm humans. Yes. Right? Nezuko." After saying that, Tanjiro gently stroked Nezuko's head with his hand. Nezuko squinted her eyes and enjoyed it very much, and even rubbed her head against Tanjiro's arm.

"Daze!" Jotaro lowered his hat and re-examined creatures like ghosts in his mind.

Just as Jotaro was thinking, Nezuko stretched out her white and delicate little hands, grabbed Jotaro's broad and thick palm, put it on her head, and rubbed it comfortably. He also made a sound of "um, um" from his mouth, showing that he was enjoying himself very much.

Tanjiro smiled from the side and said, "Jo Taro-san, Nezuko seems to like you very much."

Jotaro stood there with a dark face, like a sculpture, motionless, letting Nezuko play with his palms. For Nezuko, the reason why she got close to Jotaro was because she felt a gentle aura in him that was similar to Tanjiro.

Although Jotaro usually has a cold face that doesn't allow strangers to approach him, he is very gentle in his heart. His character is such that he doesn't think it's necessary to express his emotions. Others thought he was cold and indifferent to others, and he got into a lot of trouble as a result. But in fact, beneath his cold exterior, he has a gentler heart than anyone else.

After Nezuko became a ghost, she lost her human self and became as intelligent as a child. Perhaps young children are more sensitive than adults when it comes to feeling good and evil. It is precisely because of this that she can feel Jotaro's heart better than others.

Tanjiro touched Nezuko's face lovingly and said firmly: "Nezuko, I will definitely find a way to turn you into a human. Definitely!"

Jotaro was not good at saying comforting words. He pushed Nezuko's head away with his hand and said to Tanjiro: "We'd better find a place to rest quickly. It's already getting very late."

Nezuko shook his head, grabbed Tanjiro's hand, and followed Jotaro with him. Tanjiro looked at Jotaro's side face and asked: "Jo Taro-san, I have a question for you. You can't breathe." How does the law fight against evil spirits?"

This question has been lingering in Tanjiro's mind. Although Jo Taro-san looks very strong, the power of evil spirits cannot be competed by human beings. Without the support of breathing techniques, humans are like fish on the chopping board, allowing them to be slaughtered.

Jotaro's time with Tanjiro was very short. It had only been a few hours since they set off from the northwest town. But even so, he still felt a gentle and reliable feeling from the young man in front of him, just like Du Kong Yiji of Wang Town (Kouichi Hirose, the real protagonist of the fourth part of Jojo, the user of the quality double Echo Act3.), so he did not hide it and directly told Tanjiro, "Stand (stand) ability depends on the individual A powerful image that is generated based on the soul and sustained by life energy. Only people who are also substitute messengers can see the substitute."

Tanjiro looked confused. This was the first time he heard such a term, and he had no idea what the word "stand" meant. Jotaro also noticed this and directly called Star Platinum out so that he could feel the presence of Stand head-on.

"starplatinum!"

Platinum Star took action instantly and pulled out the Nichirin sword from Tanjiro's waist. Tanjiro's eyes widened and he looked at the Nichirin Sword floating in the air in front of him in disbelief. Nezuko did the same, tilting her head and looking at the black blade moving in the air, her little head filled with doubts.

"This is my substitute Platinum Star. You are not a substitute, so you cannot see his specific image." Jotaro explained from the side.

"It's amazing!" Tanjiro said with sincere admiration. This is the first time he has seen such an ability in his life. Now he also understands why the evil ghost is not Jo Taro-san's opponent.

Jotaro took back the Platinum Star, and Tanjiro quickly reached out to catch the fallen Nichirin Sword. He reflected in his mind on his dereliction of duty. As a swordsman, he let others take away the sword easily.

"My training is far from enough." Tanjiro thought in his heart.

What Jotaro didn't know was that this scene had been sent to a distant place by the crow as news.
