"Pillar of flame! Pillar of flame! Pillar of flame!"

Before I sat down to catch my breath, the big crow came and circled around my head again.

"... Seriously, aren't you the crow of the kitchen boy? Why do you keep assigning tasks to me?"

"The mission this time is to capture alive! Capture alive! Capture Kamado Tanjirou and Kamado Nezuko alive! Bring them back to the headquarters!"

I leaned against the tree and pretended to be stupid: "Ah, what is Nezuko, do you eat it?"

"The ghost girl biting the bamboo! Nezuko! Capture alive! Capture alive!"

He circled around as if trying to lead me the way, and I could only stand up with the trunk of the tree, hide half of my remaining arm in the wide sleeve, and run with one hand in my pocket.Tanjiro and the others seemed to have just beheaded a certain ghost among the spiders. When I ran close to them, her beautiful head just rolled to my feet.

68.

this is not!I was watching anime!Besides Ms. Zhushi, the favorite female ghost spider mother (?)!

Was I beheaded without even seeing it? Damn it!I also want to say a few more words with Miss Sister!

69.

"There are... the Twelve Ghost Moons."

She said tremblingly in a pleasant voice.

"Small..."

"Twelve Ghost Moons, I have already beheaded you." I interrupted her, and knelt down on one knee to look directly into her pure white eyes, "Please rest in peace."

The last tears in the corners of her eyes finally fell.

"………Thank you."

70.

"Catch alive! Capture alive! Capture the Zaomen brothers and sisters alive! Bring them back to the headquarters! Bring them back to the headquarters!"

Don't worry, let me remember the love I didn't have for a second.I watched her until she had completely dissipated, then straightened up again.

The three teenagers didn't seem to be injured at all, but the clothes were stained with dust and a little blood, and it might be me who was most embarrassed.

"Are you all right? Do you need me to heal?"

I asked on the safe side, raised my head and smiled at them as usual, but Tanjiro rushed directly in front of me to check the sleeve of my right hand: "Mr. Purgatory! You have suffered a serious injury!"

Does the nose need to be so smart...

I sighed helplessly: "I'm a ghost, and I'll heal soon. Compared to this... the kitchen boy."

"Yes?"

"How many ghosts have you killed in total?"

"I killed this one, and Inosuke and Zenitsu solved a ghost with a human-headed spider body together. Thanks to Mr. Purgatory's reminder, none of us were bitten by spiders." He answered me seriously, "I don't seem to have I smell some other bloody smell, are there ghosts in this mountain?"

71.

"Yes." I looked up and pointed to the bushes behind Shanyi, "there is the last one in there."

Zenitsu screamed, ran, jumped and hid behind me, while Inosuke and Tanjiro resumed their fighting stances.There was a rustling sound from behind the bushes, and the white-haired spider girl looked at me tremblingly behind the tree.

I took a few steps forward: "So, have you made up your mind?"

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me!" She sobbed and replied, "I was persecuted by Twelve Ghost Moons! If you don't obey, you can only be killed!"

"Hey?" I froze for a moment, "Really? That's really pitiful."

"So, so please don't kill me!"

"But if you say that..." I changed the topic, "this lovely lady, how many people have you killed so far?"

"Five people." She replied without much hesitation, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.

"...a lie." I lowered my eyes, and said in a firm tone, "I am also a ghost after all, I can smell the bloody smell deep in your bones."

Can't actually smell it, but I'd cheat.

72.

"There are already more than ten people? How much is it? Thirteen? Fourteen?"

Her pupils constricted after I called out a certain number, and I knew I was right.

"Then why did you lie to me?"

"Go to hell, you disgusting monster!!" She screamed and stretched out her hand towards me, and a lot of spider silk spewed out from her palm: "Being born as a ghost is actually standing on the side of the ghost hunter, damn traitor. Vampire technique——”

"Borrow your knife, Shanyi." I decisively pulled out the sun wheel knife from the waist of Shanyi who was closest to me. The handle of the knife had already scorched my hand when I held it, and I attached it without much hesitation. On the flames, cut off the spider's thread and her head.

73.

"I'm not the ghost I want to be."

I murmured such a sentence very lightly.When I reinserted the knife into Shanyi's scabbard, there was a flash of sadness and bewilderment in his eyes.

74.

The four of us embarked on the journey out of the mountain again, and there were no more spider silks and ghosts blocking the way along the way.I told Tanjiro and Nezuko that they need to go with me to the Zhuhe memory meeting to meet the lord, and Zenitsu and Inosuke can go to the butterfly house next to them to rest first.Inosuke still didn't have any objections, and rushed all the way to chase the crow, Zenitsu was a little worried.

"Pillar union meeting...Nezuko, is she okay?"

"It's okay." I patted his head reassuringly, and I almost wrote the word "reliable" all over my face, "As long as I'm here, they won't be hurt. Tanjiro, are you okay?"

"Although I'm a little nervous, I believe in Mr. Purgatory!" He smiled and responded to me, the box behind him was slightly opened, and the beautiful girl biting a bamboo peeked at me secretly.I smiled at her too, and snorted by the way. "Nezuko, can you sleep a little longer? There is still a long way to go, and it may not arrive until tomorrow morning."

75.

Mom, I don't wash my hands anymore, woo woo woo.

76.

"But, Mr. Purgatory."

Halfway through the walk, Tanjiro suddenly spoke to me. I was looking at the scenery along the way, and I turned my head naturally when I heard what he said.

"What's the matter, are you tired?" I asked, "Shall I help you carry the suitcase?"

Shanyi couldn't move much halfway, so I walked with him on my back, and now he fell asleep on my back.Inosuke was full of energy, and he caught a lot of wild game along the way, and his hands were full of prey.

"No, I'm just a little worried about you..." He hesitated and asked, "Mr. Purgatory, have you been sad since the beginning?"

77.

I paused.

Ah, yes, the outing activities that were originally happy have resulted in a bunch of broken things, and they have been directly changed to another species while being bruised. It would be a ghost if I was happy.

I heard Shanyi's breath fluttering on my shoulder, so I lowered my voice.

"………Why do you say that?"

78.

"I actually heard that sentence just now." He also lowered his voice, "Mr. Purgatory, why did you become a ghost?"

"...Actually, I have something to hide from you."

"Hey?"

"I don't belong to the Yanzhu of this world. I understood this matter from the very beginning." My eyes shifted to his face, "In my world, you are the one who becomes a ghost, and it's you who becomes a ghost." It's your sister who kills the members of the Ghost Squad."

"——Huh?! What does this mean?"

"A butterfly flaps its wings, and all the rivers will be disturbed. Maybe at a certain time, at a certain place, someone made a decision different from this world, so the world split and new branches were born. There, maybe The development of everything will be different, and everyone's personality will be different. Although I don't know whose blood ghost technique is relied on, I came here from another world."

"A long time ago, my mother told me that because I was born stronger than ordinary people, I must help the weak. This is a responsibility I must never forget, and it is also an obligation I must fulfill." I paused and tried my best. Brainly thinking about the next plot, "Not long after saying this, she died."

"When I was performing a certain mission, I met the third ghost of the upper string, Yiwozuo. He wanted me to become a ghost, but I refused, so he stabbed my friend's eye blind and seriously injured me to the point of death . But even then, I kept my word and protected everyone behind me."

"...I thought I was going to die there. But he managed to turn me into a ghost." I looked down at my grown right hand, sharp and bright red nails protruding from the tip, "I once I swore to myself that no matter what, I would never become a ghost."

79.

"In this case, how should I face the me in this world."
