"How are you going to protect me?" Kamado Tanjiro's smile slowly narrowed, and he sighed softly, "If I'm not mistaken, none of you are human, nor are you a mountain trapped by insects. Min. You are ghosts, right?"

Cannibal ghost.

He hit it straight.

Then, he asked the woman in front of him, "How many people have you killed?"

"You, you know?" Mother Spider trembled her lower lip.

There were crystal clear teardrops falling from her eyes, each drop seemed to be connected together with transparent spider silk.But she said nothing.

Even if she was crying, she didn't dare to make a sound.

In this tiredly built family, she is at the bottom of the food chain.

She—couldn't make a sound.

But she was still sad.The young man who looked so gentle actually knew her true face.Then these days, what kind of thoughts does he have in getting along with her?

"Dozens of spider cocoons hang in the forest on the west. The people inside have turned into water. There are many spiders under the wooden houses hanging in the sky in the north. They have human faces. And the east... the east is under your management That side? There are also many buried bones there." Tanjiro Kamado said as if he had no emotion, and finally he pondered for a moment, after all, his tone became softer, and his tone was no longer so aggressive, "Among them, how many bones have you eaten? ?”

"...three."

She couldn't help feeling ashamed.

She didn't choose not to eat out of pity or other emotions.On the contrary, her reason is quite pragmatic - she must leave more dolls as combat power to meet the human swordsmen who came to attack, otherwise she, who is relatively weakest among them, is likely to be counter-killed.

Ahhh, why, why am I such a despicable person?Since when did I completely regard myself as one of the ghosts, forgetting my identity as a human being, and devouring my former kind without any scruples?

Because the suppressed emotions were too intense, she couldn't maintain her appearance for a while.As the tears overflowed, her figure gradually shrank, and finally turned into a little girl.

It is completely different from the previous gorgeous and coquettish appearance, just an ordinary child of five or six years old.

It turned out to be such a small child.

"Is this your original appearance?" Tanjiro Kamado walked up to her, gently wiped away the tears from the other's eyes, and asked slowly, "Are you all forced?"

The little girl was sobbing, but she shook her head honestly: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry. I just want to seek shelter from a powerful existence. Those swordsmen, those swordsmen who kill ghosts will kill me, I don't want to die—"

"Then how many people did you kill?"

"So much, so much. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The little girl was crying with tears in her eyes, but she still tried her best to lower her voice so that no one else could hear her.

She cried heart-piercingly, but silently.It's pitiful to try to suppress yourself.Negative emotions were originally used to vent, but the wailing could only be silenced at the source of the sound.The big drops of tears were like continuous rain, but she held them tightly to prevent them from falling on the floor——

will make a sound.

At the same time, as if she had been pulled out of all her strength, she slowly curled up into a ball, shivering.

...Even if she changed her appearance and raised her figure, her heart still remained at the moment when she became a ghost.That ordinary five or six-year-old mountain girl who was having fun in the fields.

Kamado Tanjiro knelt down to look at her at the same level, a large area of ​​light and shadow fell on the boy's face, making him appear to be so unreasonable, but his voice was always gentle: "Last question. If I leave, then what would you do?"

The little girl seemed to have been pressed the pause button for a moment.

After what seemed like a long time, and what seemed like only a moment, the girl finally responded.

Her face was still wet with tears, but she was as calm as ice at the moment, she said: "I am ready. I should have died a long time ago."

She was supposed to die the moment she met the ghost - but she didn't, she became one of them.

She should have died when she was hunted down by the ghost-killing swordsman-but she didn't, she was sheltered by the powerful Lei, and has since become a member of the family that Lei formed.

She should have died long ago, this damned life that has been favored by bad luck should have ended long ago, so why not let her press the end button by herself?

"No one exists to die." The boy stretched out his hand to give her a hug, and made a promise in her ear, "Please don't worry, I will end everything—the vein of light is right there, and everything will fall Curtain."

But you have no self-preservation ability, how can you survive?The girl opened her mouth, but made no sound.Moreover, among the ghosts you are facing, one of them is Twelve Ghost Moon!

Tanjirou Kamado seemed to understand what she was talking about. He patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "Please rest assured. I have searched for information before I came here, so I came prepared." He tapped lightly Take the sword at your waist.

This crude sword didn't even make a soft moan.

It was a seemingly ordinary knife, completely black, as low-key and unpretentious as its owner.Not even a trace of hostility, just like a toy for jokes.

——But, but, he actually possessed such self-confidence.

The girl was speechless for a while, but she somehow chose to trust the boy.She held his coat tightly and opened and closed her mouth several times.The little girl's eyes were big and round, but they were always dim, so they looked dull.But at this moment, a light that does not belong to ghosts appeared in the pupils that belonged to ghosts, and she said, "Please be careful not to get tired."
