[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

==============================

The road up the mountain was deep and quiet. Zuihei Inosuke and Kamado Tanjiro were looking for ghosts. My wife, Zenitsu, was too scared to come along immediately.

"Damn it, where did that guy Kihara go?" Inosuke looked around, and then he looked at Tanjiro who was walking forward with a box on his back, "Kojiro Amado, don't you have a good nose? Find it quickly!"

"Although I want to do this too, there is a distorted and ominous atmosphere everywhere on the mountain... Inosuke is willing to come here with me, I really feel more at ease, thank you."

"...Oh." Inosuke was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses and snorted, "You useless guy, look at me!"

Inosuke muttered and stood still, his hands stretched out.

"Breath of the Beast-Seven Shape-Spatial Perception."

All the senses are concentrated on the skin in an instant, because he grew up in the mountains and has a sensitivity far beyond that of ordinary people. Inosuke can know the situation in a wide range through the direction of the wind and slight vibration.

"There's one coming over there." He pointed in a certain direction.

"Come over?"

As soon as Tanjiro finished speaking, he suddenly felt a breath approaching suddenly, and then saw something falling from the sky, and landed in front of the two of them with a bang.

"No, approach, my family!"

With a spider face, the gigantic ghost shouted hoarsely.

family?Tanjiro was wondering when he heard Inosuke's voice next to him.

"Do you want to compete with me! Come on!" Seeing the ghost punching the ground out of a big hole, the boy in the wild boar headgear rushed forward excitedly.

"Inosuke!"

Tanjirou hadn't finished speaking when he saw Inosuke being swung by an arm for more than ten meters.

"Tch, this strength is really great."

Zuhira Inosuke, who was blown away, jumped up from the ground, and then saw Tanjiro holding his sword in front of him, blocking the oni's violent fist.

"It's very dangerous, don't rush up by yourself!"

"Ah!? I can dodge it! Besides, even if you get hit, you won't die!" With that said, he dropped the knife in his hand. Since his strength was inferior to the opponent's, he could only use skill to win. Power is not difficult for him.

"I fight him, you find a chance to chop off this guy's head!"

Is this the companion that Kihara asked him to find?

Always feel light.

……

"Is that so? I see."

On the way to Natian Spider Mountain, Butterfly Ninja calmly listened to the message sent by the crow on her shoulder, but suddenly she let out a slight surprise as if she had heard something incredible.

"What's wrong?" Satoshi turned his head to look at her.

"A team member escaped from the mountain and asked for support. He said that there was a ghost who used spider silk to control the team members, which was the same as the information he had received before." As he said, Butterfly Ninja's voice became a little hesitant, "But he said that he still Met another ghost, heading towards Spider Mountain."

"It's okay, no matter how many ghosts there are, just kill them."

"Even if that ghost saved him?"

"...The actions and words of ghosts cannot be trusted. They must have other purposes. Any evil ghost that has eaten people must be killed."

"That's right." Butterfly Shinobi has always been the type who won't show mercy on such things, but she is more worried about other things at this time.

"But he said that the ghost was almost exactly the same as a deceased soldier he had seen before."

Did the ghost slayers turn into ghosts?But even so... Satoshi was thinking about it when he heard Butterfly Shinobi continue:

"It looks the same as Mr. Kuhara."

The bright moon hangs high, and in the deep and secluded Natian Spider Mountain, people's screams can be heard everywhere.

At the beginning, it was only a team of ten people, but after being manipulated by the ghosts and almost wiped out, the ghost killers who came to support from nearby also became the prey of the ghosts one by one.

"Run away!" The female soldier with a ponytail carried the corpse of her companion, and shouted to the person who appeared in front of her with a look of despair, and gasped after seeing his face clearly, "Ghost?  … Ahh!!"

She moved forward in an extremely unnatural posture, waving the knife in her hand, and her joints made toothache sounds.

The ghost killer team member who was entangled in the ghost's spider silk and used as a puppet, his bones had already been broken and pierced into his internal organs, had already exceeded the limit of human action and endurance, but he was forced to raise the knife in his hand, and looked at him. target cut over.

I am going to die.After swiping the knife, she tightly closed her eyes.

I will definitely be killed by this ghost, but it's good to be killed, at least I don't have to suffer anymore.

The soldier was waiting for the severe pain of death, but suddenly felt his body loosen.The spider threads that controlled her disappeared in an instant, and she lost her support and fell to the ground.

"what?"

"If you can still move, take the people who are still alive and leave here. Support will come soon."

Under the moonlight, the haori sewed with charms swayed gently.

"Please trust me."

Maybe it's time for a mask.Looking at the team member with a look of surprise and uncertainty, Kuhara Hiiragi thought.

On the other side, the ghost with long white hair suddenly lost control of the ghost slayer, sitting on the rock, showing an anxious and resentful expression.

"What's going on? My dolls, how could my dolls..."

"Mom." A boy's voice sounded from the nearby woods, "What's going on? It seems to have taken an extraordinarily long time, can you win?"

"...Tired?" The ghost called mother was startled for a moment, then shook her head quickly, "No, I can win, but there seems to be a strange guy over there, and my blood ghost technique can't get close to it at all." He, so that, that may not be human! It's another ghost! It's not Mom's fault."

"Really?" Hearing this, Tired just said indifferently, "No matter what it is, as long as it dares to disturb the peaceful life of our family, it must be eradicated. Mom, if you can't do it, I can only call Dad to come gone."

The ghosts of Twelve Ghost Moons never interfered with each other, so even if other ghosts came to Natian Spider Mountain, it would only be a dead end. He didn't think the other party's strength was anything to worry about.

"No! I can do it! Mom can protect you, so don't tell Dad!"

The 'mother' made a sound of extreme fear when she heard the words, and even began to pant for breath, but Lei just gave her a light look at this, and then turned around intending to leave.

"Are you the ghost who controls those humans?"

Hearing the sudden strange voice, 'Mother' gasped, ignoring the ghost slayers in the distance, and pointed all the spider threads on her fingertips in the direction of the voice.

"who are you!?"

Jiuyuan Hiiragi didn't answer, just looked at her and said indifferently: "Ghosts don't cooperate with each other."

"Because we are family members, and it is only right and proper for mothers to protect their children." The boy under the shadow of the forest stretched out his hand, which was covered with spider silk entwined between his fingers like a flowery rope, "We have a deep bond. Right, mother?"

"Yes, I will protect Tired, I will definitely..."

Her horrified promise came to an abrupt end, and the world immediately became dark.

All the pain and struggle ended so suddenly.

Kuhara Hiiragi, who withdrew her palm, couldn't help frowning slightly. Compared with the 'mother' who protects the child, she is weaker and more like the one who should be protected.

Oni and oni will not cooperate, this is the order set by Onimai Tsuji to prevent ghosts from gathering to hinder him.

So these two ghosts are not family members, but more like a superior-subordinate relationship pretending to be family members.

The ghost uses spider silk to control human beings, and he is actually controlled by a more powerful spider silk and cannot escape, just like a victim in a cruel game stuck in the web of Spider Mountain.

He turned his head to look at the young man who was expressionless from beginning to end.

"Seeing my 'mother' being killed by a ghost hunter is indifferent, is this the family you are talking about?"

"It's her own fault, she's so weak, she can't even protect her own child." The boy said, the spider silk between his fingers turned scarlet, "It's a ghost but you call yourself a ghost hunter, you disturbed our family. Live, so go die."

The blood-colored sharp spider silk slashed towards Kuhara Hiiragi from all directions with the sound of piercing through the air.

There was no need to use the eye-calling at all, Kuhara Hiiragi cut off all the spider threads with his fists, and at the same time he also noticed something.

The ghost's core was shaken violently, and its obsession had reached an almost crazy level.As long as I have the intention to erode a little, I am afraid that my heart will become evil in an instant.

"...After becoming a ghost, do you still have the obsession with family affection? But as a ghost, the things you create with spider silk will always be just imitations."

"Shut up! Aren't you a ghost too? What right do you have to deny me!"

"Because I know what a real relative should be like."

"What are you talking about...!"

Before I could finish my tired words, the world suddenly turned upside down.

His head was beheaded.

No matter how tough it is, things held together by spider silk will break sooner or later.

The true bond will not be broken even if you die.

……

When he returned to the team member controlled by the spider silk, there was no one alive.

The core of a dead person is like a fading light, and as the real body of the phase hub, he can easily judge it.

The people who were still alive had already tried their best to leave. Under the moonlight, there were only distorted and miserable corpses everywhere, and myself standing next to a bloody corpse.

Although a few people were saved, there were still more sacrifices.

They are all young people, and the person in front of him looks like a teenager.

At least help him close his eyes, thinking so, Kuhara Hiiragi stretched out his hand.

The moment he did so.

"Go to hell, you liar."

Without any warning, someone's voice sounded next to him.Before he could react, his eyes were suddenly covered by light-colored water splashes.

"...?"

Kuhara Hiiragi opened her eyes wide.

He stared blankly at the somewhat familiar knife light flashing in front of his eyes, and the scattered blood falling on the ground——

own half arm.

The author has something to say:

I also wanted Tanjiro to go up and down from the beginning,

But after thinking about it carefully, there is no way to weaken A Hiiragi reasonably, so Kagami can only push back.

Hell mode descends,

But tomorrow I will ask for leave from dbq!

Tomorrow (November 11) will be closed for one day.
