[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

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

Tanjirou Kamado looked at the Oni who shrank into the box like a child, and even though he had recognized the other's breath just now, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide.

"Mr. Hiiragi?"

The ghost in the box moved a bit when he heard the words, then raised his head and looked at Tanjirou with three eyes, but his eyes seemed to be still in a daze.

Nervous, restless, mixed with many other negative emotions.

"What happened?" Tanjiro asked, "And why are you in Nezuko's box?"

The child-like ghost stared blankly at him for a while, then seemed to finally recognize who the person in front of him was, and then got out of the box.

"Sorry." Kuhara Hiiragi said, and slowly changed back to her original shape, "It's almost dawn, let Nezuko go into the box."

"I see, but are you really okay?"

"I'm fine." He shook his head calmly.

The joy of fighting side by side are just fragments of the years.

It was me who was at fault.

So whether it is becoming unforgivable or becoming a stranger, it is just the ending that should have been thought of.

Kuhara Hiiragi, the walking god, was found together with Kamado Tanjiro by the Hermit Soldiers.

……

What is this place?

When he came back to his senses, he was already in a dark room, sitting on the floor, surrounded by several hermit soldiers who were in charge of monitoring.

By the way, I'm already at the headquarters.

But how did I get here, because I have been immersed in my thoughts all the time, so I have almost no impression at all.

Most likely they were brought here blindfolded.

The box containing Nezuko was sitting next to it, but the others didn't know where it was.

He raised his head and looked at the hidden soldiers around him, wanting to ask about the current situation, but those soldiers all showed nervous expressions the moment he moved, and looked at him with scrutiny and a trace of fear.

Kuhara Hiiragi froze for a moment, then looked away.

I can't blame them either, after all, I'm a ghost now.

He decided not to take any actions that are not good for these hermit soldiers, and lowered his head and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Since you are already in the headquarters, then follow the arrangement, after all, the decision of the lord will never go wrong.

After a while, he suddenly heard a bang, and the door was opened.

"Hey, I felt the ghost's breath coming over, and it seems that something interesting happened."

The person who entered the door had white hair and scars all over his body, and his eyes looked at Kuhara Hiiragi and the box next to him with undisguised murderous intent.

"Master Undead Chuan?" A team hermit next to him asked suspiciously, "Why are you here? Ah, my lord told these two ghosts to wait here for the time being, and their affairs will be dealt with before the Zhuhe meeting."

"Leaving aside the one in the box, this guy looks quite strong." The person who came, that is, Feng Zhu-Immortal Kawa Minami, said, and pulled out the green-bladed sun wheel knife, "It doesn't even have a rope like that." Tied, let you guys who don't even have knives watch?"

"This... Your lord naturally has his arrangements, please put down the knife first! We will be embarrassed if you do this."

Captain Yin tried to dissuade him, but he didn't know what to do when he saw the ghost who had been silent all this time stretch out his hand.

Immortal Chuan clenched the knife tightly, watching his actions closely, but the ghost in the haori that was sewn with charms just stretched out his hand to protect the box behind him, and then returned to the sitting position, closing his eyes calmly again .

……What does it mean?

Undead Kawa Minami frowned fiercely.

Does this ghost think he dare not cut it! ?

He swung his knife and was about to chop it off, when he suddenly heard a young man's determined voice not far from outside.

"My sister can fight with me! She can fight for the Ghost Killing Squad, for innocent people, so please trust her!"

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

It was Tanjiro's voice.Jiuyuan Hiiragi thought for a while, then stood up firmly with the box in hand, and walked towards the sunshine outside the door, those hermit soldiers did not step forward to stop him.

"you……!"

"It's up to you if you want to chop it off." Kuhara Hiiragi said flatly, "But even if you chop it off a million times, I won't die."

Then, under Undead Kawa Minya's somewhat disbelieving eyes, he walked into the sunlight.

"Nezuko! Mr. Hiiragi!" Kamado Tanjiro, who had been trying to defend himself with his hands tied behind his back, saw them, his eyes lit up, "It's great that you're all right."

Kuhara Hiiragi nodded to him, "Where are Inosuke and the others?"

"Inosuke and Zenitsu were injured, and they should be receiving treatment now."

There were eight people in the courtyard besides Tanjirou, plus the man who was on guard not far behind him, there were nine people in total.

It seems that they are the active nine pillars.

Kuhara Hiiragi nodded to Butterfly Shinobi whom he knew, then looked away, and stood a little far away with the box and did not move.

"Hey, let's forget about that kid, what's going on with this guy?" Snake Zhuzhu, who was lying on a branch and covered the lower half of his face——Iguro Kobane pointed at Kuhara Hiiragi, "Although I don’t know where it came from, but he’s not a human, is he? A ghost who is not afraid of the sun, wouldn’t it be the end if Kimai Tsuji got this kind of power?”

The scourge of instability should be eradicated as soon as possible. Iguro Hanai's idea is very straightforward, and after realizing that Kuhara Hiiragi is a ghost, there are not a few people who have the same idea as him.

"Mr. Hiiragi!" Tanjiro said quickly, "Mr. Hiiragi doesn't know how to eat people, he maintains the same rationality as ordinary people, and has been carrying out ghost-killing operations. This time I went to Nada Spider Mountain to be with us. mission accomplished!"

"By the way, you've been going around in circles since just now." Voice Zhu-Yusui Tianyuan said, "This one can't eat people and that one can't eat people, you gave a gorgeous proof!"

"This……"

"Ah, this child must be possessed by a ghost." Yan Zhu, who had tears in his eyes, said in a mournful voice.

What is that cloud like?Kasumi Zhu, Tokito no Ichiro is completely out of the situation.

No one spoke for a while until someone broke the silence.

"Actually, I'm also very curious." It was Butterfly Shinobu who spoke, and she looked at Saitu, "The news of Mr. Kuhara's death was brought back by Mr. Satu, so what's going on now?"

Sato frowned slightly, he really didn't know why Kuhara Hiiragi was still alive, what's more, if it wasn't for the news from the lord, he himself would not believe it anyway.

Even if I barely believe it, my mind is still confused and it is difficult to make a judgment.

"Do you know this ghost?" Ihei Xiaobane stared at Sato with strange eyes, "It's not like you, Sato, why didn't you kill him? Don't you want to be like that little ghost? Covering ghosts? Explain quickly."

Mr. Yihei's snake-like entanglement is so handsome!Lianzhu-Ganlusi Mitsuri thought silently.

"Let me explain this matter."

A voice sounded quietly from the house deep in the courtyard. At the same time that the voice was heard, everyone present knelt down on one knee, even Tanjiro Kamado, who was unknown, fell to the ground with his head pressed down.

Walking slowly with the support of two silver-haired girls is the current protagonist of the Demon Slayer Squad, Yoya Ubuyashiki.

……

At this time, in the Butterfly House not far from the headquarters, my wife Shanyi was crying out in grief.

"Do you want me to drink such a bitter thing five times a day!? I will definitely die if I drink it! And what will happen if I don't drink it? What will happen to my hands and feet!?"

"You're making Wen Yi so loud! Shut up!" Inosuke was lying on the bed next to him. If it wasn't for the injury, he might have just run over and beat him until he couldn't speak.

"this and that……"

The little girl who worked at Butterfly House frantically tried to calm them down, but it was of no use to my wife Zenyi who was in a state of panic.

"Ah, what happened here?"

"Master Kanae!" Seeing a gentle woman in a butterfly feather weaving appeared at the door, the little girl immediately looked over as if she had found a savior, "This soldier has been refusing to drink medicine, even Xiaokui came It's useless."

"Really?" Butterfly Kanae looked at my wife Shanyi, and said with a smile, "This is not okay, if you don't drink the medicine properly, your hands and feet will not return."

"But no matter how you drink it five times, it's too...!"

His voice stopped halfway, because Butterfly Kanae had already approached him, bringing the cup of medicine to him.

"It'll be fine, don't worry."

"..."

Good, so beautiful, and so gentle, completely different from the girl who always scolded him before.

My wife Shanyi was stunned, and then poured the medicine into her mouth out of nowhere.

Inosuke Hirai, who was next to him, clicked his tongue and wanted to turn over impatiently, but suddenly saw the soft smile on Butterfly Kanae's face, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Such a smile... I seem to have seen it somewhere.

Where is it?

……

"Anyway, the plan for Hiiragi to become a ghost, or become a sage, has been going on for more than ten years. In order to carry out the plan safely, only Lord Rinaki Sakonji and I know about this matter." Yuya Ubuyashiki finished explaining , and added, "And Tanjiro and Nezuko are also recognized by me, and I hope that everyone can also recognize them."

After a brief silence, the scene exploded.

"...Forgive me for not being able to accept it, my lord, after all, ghost slayers should kill evil spirits!"

"My lord, I will accept whatever you say!"

"As a soldier but degenerated into a ghost, let me kill him, so that this pain can end."

"I object gorgeously!"

"I do not mind."

"As a member of the ghost killing team, becoming a ghost is a shame in itself, and I really shouldn't live in the world!"

Although a few people felt indifferent or kept silent, most people expressed strong opposition.

Even though Yoya Ubuyashiki later read the letter from Sakonji Rinaki on the spot, saying that it was impossible to prove that Nezuko and Kuhara Hiiragi could eat people, some people still raised objections.

"My lord, I will prove the ugliness of ghosts to you right now!"

Saying so, Undead Kawa Miniya cut his arm with a Japanese knife, letting blood flow down the wrist to the ground.

Kuhara Hiiragi was in a daze.

What is this smell?

If the blood of the thin-blooded boy in Gugui's mansion smelled like some kind of overripe sweet fruit, the blood of the scarred young man in front of him was like some fine wine.

But even so, he didn't waver, Xiangshu really didn't need to eat, and in the state where Taiwu's talisman suppressed the ghost's appetite to the extreme, it was naturally impossible for him to attack people.

Nezuko in the box beside her did not move either.

"Hey Bushichuan, don't care about that guy called Xiangshu for the time being, it's daytime, and the other ghost won't come out." Yihei Xiaobanei reminded.

"...I'm sorry, my lord."

Saying so, Immortal Kawasami carried the box under the eaves, and drenched the shade in the room with his own blood.

"Come out, this is your favorite food."

"Nezuko!" Although he believed in his sister in his heart, Tanjiro couldn't help but get nervous in this situation.

Undead Chuan opened the box door with a knife, and raised his bleeding arm provocatively.

"Eat, so I can kill you."

"..."

The girl who stood up slowly from inside stared at him for a few seconds, then turned her gaze to the direction of the courtyard.

"Huh, huh."

Kuhara Hiiragi was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he took out something from the haori and threw it to her.

It was a roll of bandages.

"Wait, could it be..." Ganlusi Mili blushed and covered her mouth.

"What happened?" asked Yoya Ubuyashiki, who was blind.

"The female ghost didn't attack people..." said the daughter of Yuya Shiki Yoya, "She helped Mr. Undead Chuan bandage the wound, then frowned and shrank back into the box, looking a little angry."

"Snapped!"

"And now she's closing the box door."

The author has something to say:

Nezuko: Huh! (angry)

Reconciliation in the next chapter (probably)
