Genji Heavy

Their destination is in the town, a little far from the Butterfly House.

Fortunately, the salary of the Demon Slayer Squad is good, so there is no need for Tanjiro to walk over with mustache.

Tanjiro found the stop, paid the fare, and got off all the way to the town.

Then, following the guidance of the crow, they walked towards the house where the vision had occurred.

On the way, Higakiri admired the scenery of the town in the Taisho era by the way.

She was enshrined in Kitano Tenmangu in the Taisho era.The passage of time in the shrine does not show, she just shook her head, and the Taisho era has been left behind.

Although humans and ghosts are at war in this world, the development direction of the times is no different.Even if she is in a town that is not particularly prosperous now, it is enough for her to see the style of the Taisho era where the West and the West are parallel.

The simple boy Tanjiro said with emotion, "This place is really nice."

Holding the straps on his shoulders with both hands, he looked sideways at the wooden box on his back.

There lay his shrunken, sleeping sister, Nezuko.

Tanjirou had a contented smile on his face, "I will feel very happy to see the scene behind everyone safe and sound like this. I hope to protect everyone from being infested by ghosts."

It would be even better if the ghosts could be eliminated quickly.Tanjiro said in his heart.

Hikiri looked at the boy's tough and optimistic look, and smiled softly, "Your wish will come true."

After walking with the fluttering crow for a while, they finally reached the house in a quiet part of the town.

The size of the house is not small, and the scenery in the courtyard is exquisite, it can be seen that it has been carefully taken care of.

Obviously, the people here are from well-to-do families.

As soon as Higakiri and Tanjiro arrived, a servant enthusiastically ushered them into the house—although it seemed strange that they were overly enthusiastic.

After a while, the mistress of the family came over in person.

Wearing a dark gray striped kimono, a dignified woman with meticulously combed hair walked towards them. She was a lady with a heroic appearance.But the meticulous dressing could not hide the haggardness in her eyes.

When she saw Higekiri and Tanjiro appearing in front of the door, her expression was obviously eager.

"The two must be the exorcists who were invited here!"

Opening the mouth is still uncontrollable haste even after being suppressed.

If it weren't for the deep-rooted upbringing, Higakiri and Tanjiro's hands would have probably been caught by now.

"Yes," Higakiri stood there with a smile, and asked after thinking about the task, "is Mrs. Murakami?"

The woman called "Mrs. Murakami" looked at Mustache for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's me. It's great that you two can come."

She turned sideways.

"Come in, please."

They said it was two, but in fact, Mrs. Murakami's eyes were mainly on Higakiri, while Tanjiro was only politely glanced at.

Tanjiro smiled helplessly, adjusted the position of the wooden box on his shoulders, and followed into it.

Tanjiro was not surprised by this situation.

This time, the Murakami family took the initiative to come to the door for the task, but they actually thought they found the demon master.

He and Ms. Mustache also came here as exorcists.

In this case, there is no doubt that even if Ms. Mustakiri is a woman, the sense of mystery is more in line with people's imagination of exorcising demons, and it makes people unconsciously more convincing.

Naturally, Tanjiro was regarded by Mrs. Murakami as the "assistant" of Ms. Hikiri, the "monster exorcist".

Entering the living room, Mrs. Murakami greeted the attendants to serve tea, and the three sat down at the table.

Tea and snacks were brought up, Mrs. Murakami said with a bit of bitterness that could not be shaken off, "I'm sorry, the hospitality was not good."

Mustache said, "It's okay."

The girl in front of her seemed to be much younger than her, but when Mrs. Murakami looked at her calm face, her anxious heart calmed down unknowingly, as if some heavy things had been removed, which made her feel relaxed many.

At the same time, because of this, Mrs. Murakami finally couldn't help showing a wry smile, "I'm really sorry, you have worked so hard to come here, I should have asked you to rest first. But... the Murakami family really can't wait for a moment Yes. Husband works outside and doesn’t come home often, only me, the children, and the servants are at home. If things like that... I really don’t know how to carry on.”

The Murakami family has four children, two boys and two girls.

Just some time ago, the youngest daughter of the Murakami family disappeared quietly.

He was a quiet and good boy, and it was absolutely impossible for him to do anything like run away from home.Besides, no matter whether it was the servants at home or the residents nearby, none of them had seen the youngest daughter of the Murakami family that day.

Mrs. Murakami tried everything she could think of, but she couldn't find her daughter anyway.

Just when her heart was broken, she realized that this was not the end, but the beginning.

From that day on, the Murakami house often had very strange noises every night, as if a wild animal was walking in the house, but there was no trace of it during the day.

The remaining three children fell ill one after another, and even the servants began to disappear as quietly as the little daughter.

——In this case, what else could it be if it wasn’t the work of youkai? !

Mrs. Murakami said with a miserable face, "My daughter and those servants must have been taken away by monsters. Master Demon Exorcist, please help us."

Tanjiro couldn't bear it.

Now that the Ghost Killing Squad has taken over the matter... Mrs. Murakami's missing daughter, and those servants are probably...

"I see," Higiri replied calmly, "We'll do our best."

Such an attitude made Mrs. Murakami more confident.

"Then, please," she knelt down deeply.

The desperate woman pinned all her hopes on the demon extermination master who didn't know the truth.

Perhaps, she herself knew that the hope was slim, but she still couldn't give up her last effort, even if there was only a slight possibility, she still wanted to catch her.

"The guest room is still arranged properly, please go and rest first, both of you."

Mrs. Murakami smiled hard. ,

She was about to leave when she saw the female exorcist who was still following the servant suddenly stop in her tracks and turned to look at her.

The golden streamer in those eyes made her lose her voice for an instant.

After calming down for a while, Mrs. Murakami finally found her voice.

"Master Exorcist, do you have anything else to ask?"

But Chikiri asked her a very sudden question.

"I would like to ask, has your family always been surnamed Murakami?"

"Ah... yes."

"Did the ancestors ever use other surnames?" Mustache asked.

Mrs. Murakami said blankly, "I don't know much about this. But our family doesn't have any deep family heritage, and the current family fortune was saved by the efforts of the previous two generations of Murakami. I have no way of knowing how to go further, but I won't What a great big man."

She smiled indifferently, and bowed to leave.

"Is there no way to know..."

Tokiri murmured.

"Miss Higakiri?" Realizing that Higakiri hadn't come over, Tanjiro turned around suspiciously, but fell silent for an instant.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and took a step back carefully.

Miss Hikiri's expression... suddenly became terrifying! ! !
