Reborn as Platycodon, an infinite journey begins from Demon Slayer

"Tanjiro, why are you back so late today?"

A delicate-looking peasant woman with a white scarf on her head and her long hair tied into a low bun came over and was stunned when she saw Kikyo behind Tanjiro.

"Mom, this is the miko Kikyo-sama. She got lost in the forest and is staying at home tonight." Tanjiro saw his mother in a daze and quickly introduced her.

"Madam, excuse me!" Kikyo smiled slightly.

Kamado Aoi quickly came to her senses, feeling a little embarrassed. She was originally very nervous, fearing that the reception would be bad and offend the noble man, but now she saw the gentle smile of the other party and she calmed down.

"Lord Kikyo, please come in!"

Kamado Kuizhi hurriedly invited people into the house and poured a glass of water for Platycodon grandiflorum.

"What a nice view..."

"Well, this miko sister looks so gentle."

"I think so..."

The sound of children's conversation was heard. Kikyo turned her head and looked over, and found five children hiding behind the door and secretly watching her.

These five children are none other than Kamado Tanjiro's younger brothers and sisters. The three boys are the second son Takeo who has a tear mole, the one who has a crew cut is Shigeru the third son, and the one with baby hair is the youngest Rokuta.

The two girls are Hanako, the second daughter with full bangs, and Nezuko Kamado, the petite and cute-looking Kamado eldest daughter who is the heroine of Demon Slayer and is also very familiar to Kikyo.

At this moment, her eyes were flashing with excitement. As the saying goes, eyes can tell the soul, and Kikyo could tell at a glance that Nezuko was a girl with a gentle personality.

"You guys, there are noble people here, why don't you go back to the house!" Kamado Aoi apologized for her children, "They are not like this usually. It may be the first time to see a miko, and I was curious for a moment. Please ask Kikyo. Don’t be offended, sir.”

"Mrs. Kamado, you are too polite. It's okay."

Platycodon shook her head indifferently. She was fused with Platycodon's soul and she also liked children very much. What's more, these five children were very cute.

Kikyo couldn't help but wave to the children: "Children, come here."

Nezuko and the others looked at Kikyo cautiously and slowly moved closer. Kikyo reached out and touched their heads, took out five talismans folded into triangles from his arms and handed them to them: "You are so good, these five talismans I personally made the urn and gave it to you."

Nezuko felt a completely different sense of security from Kikyo than her mother. Not only did she not discriminate against them, but she also treated them with such tenderness that her cheeks immediately turned red.

"No, Lord Platycodon, this is too valuable, we can't accept it!"

Although Kamado Aoi has never seen a talisman, she has heard that even if the price of an ordinary talisman is enough to support their family for a month, the price of something given by a miko like Kikyo-sama may be even more expensive.

"Take it, it will protect the safety of the children."

"This..." Kamado Aoi was about to refuse, but when he heard the effect of the talisman, he immediately swallowed his words.

"Take it, and it will be considered as my accommodation fee for tonight." Kikyo took out two more amulets and handed them over, "Mrs. Kamado, you and Tanjiro each have one to ward off ghosts."

Kamado Aoi was stunned when she heard this. Other civilians didn't know there were ghosts, but she knew there were ghosts. She finally took the talisman and bowed 90 degrees to Kikyo to express her gratitude.

The children gathered around Kikyo enthusiastically, asking what the outside world was like. Kikyo was not impatient and told them one by one. Fortunately, there was a system that reminded her from time to time, otherwise she would have been unaware of all the questions.

The next morning, Kikyo got up early. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Tanjiro had already packed his equipment and was preparing to go up the mountain to cut wood.

Kikyo walked over and said goodbye to Tanjiro, then turned around and left. She planned to go to a nearby village to find a place to stay today.

Kamado's ancestors made a living by cutting wood and burning charcoal. When it comes to Kamado Tanjiro's generation, the family has a large population, and their family can only make ends meet. In order to entertain her last night, Kamado Aoi made some home-cooked dishes. , making Platycodon even more regretful.

It was originally an hour's journey, but it took only a few minutes for Platycodon to arrive. Perhaps the village was too remote and few outsiders came to visit. The town was also sparsely populated. Platycodon rented a house and planned to stay in the village temporarily until the Kamado family was wiped out. crisis.

The sun sets and the night grows dark.

"Huh? There's something ghostly about it!"

Kikyo immediately set off and quickly headed towards the direction of the ghost energy.

In the dark night, in the village.

An ugly ghost with a mouth full of fangs was quietly following a male villager.

The ghost jumped out suddenly, like a ferocious beast, and rushed towards the villagers. It bit his neck with its fangs. With a strong pull, it tore off a large piece of flesh from the neck. Blood spurted out, and the severe pain made the villagers... Screamed.

At the same time, miserable screams resounded through the dark night, suddenly alarming the people in the village. Most people ran out and saw a horrific scene that they would never forget in their lives.

The strong bloody smell and screams of the male villagers actually stimulated the ghost, and the ghost bit the villager's corpse even more crazily. The male villager screamed repeatedly, and finally fell completely into a pool of blood, and finally his head was bitten off by the ghost. Afterwards, he stretched out his tongue and licked the brain stuck to his mouth.

When the villagers saw this scene, they were so frightened that they backed away.

"what!!"

The more timid women screamed in fear.

"Ghost, it's a ghost, the legend is true!"

"The ghost is coming, the ghost is coming!"

"Run away, everyone, run away!!"

A few elders were relatively calm. After calming down, they immediately turned around and shouted loudly. However, the villagers had never seen such a monster before them. They were all frightened and their faces were frightened. Their feet were weak and they were frozen in place, unable to move.

The ghost looked at the crowd, his eyes full of greed. With so much food, he wanted to have a full meal tonight. The ghost pounced on the nearest old man, opened his big mouth, and bit into the shoulder and back, gnawing big mouthfuls. , the old man screamed in pain and quickly swallowed his breath.

"It tastes bad, too bad..."

The ghost chewed the piece of meat in his mouth, then spat it out. He stared at the little girl not far away from him. His mouth watered and he rushed towards the little girl. The little girl turned pale with fear and collapsed on the ground.

"Xiao Yu!!" An old man shouted in fright, and it was too late to run over.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the little girl, turned his palm into a sword, and slashed forward.

"Hand Knife·Cut!"

A sword slashed across the ghost's neck, and the ghost's head flew out instantly, but his body did not fall to the ground and continued to pounce on Kikyo.
