[Blade of Demon Slayer] Half-Ghost

Even though Ryo Matsuma is now half-ghou, by the time he brought Tanjiro back to Mount Sagiri, it was almost evening.

As soon as I saw the hut at the foot of the mountain, the closed wooden door was suddenly kicked away, and it was Nezuko who had been sleeping for two years who walked out.

She looked around and found Ryo Matsuma who was walking towards this side, and Tanjiro who was being hugged by her, and she rushed towards this side.

Because of the knock on the door just now, Tanjiro also woke up from his sleep.

Seeing Nezuko running towards them, he jumped out of Ryo Matsuma's arms, stumbling towards Nezuko, and the two finally hugged each other tightly.

Over the past few years, all the worries about my sister turned into tears.

Even though Nezuko, who has now become a ghost, cannot receive the message he sent, Tanjiro still talks about his inner anxiety when Nezuko fell asleep.

[I'm so envious, this kind of constant bond, this kind of strong affection between each other. 】

Thinking of this, Ling Matsuma walked to them and held them in his arms.

[This kind of sincere emotion, let me guard it! 】

Immediately after they heard the sound of the wood falling to the ground, they let go of each other and looked towards the place where the sound came from. It was their master - Zuojiro Rinaki.

I saw him walking towards the two with heavy steps, and then hugged him tightly: "It's great, you finally came back alive!"

His voice was unprecedented vicissitudes, Ling Matsuma understood the meaning behind his words, tears could not stop running across his cheeks, and slammed heavily on the ground under their feet.

【evening-after dinner】

"Really? You worked together to kill the alien ghost." Lin Taki and the two sat face to face.

The two nodded when they heard the words: "Yes!"

"It's finally over." Lin Taki lowered his head and said this sentence, and then said to them: "It's great that you can come back."

"Hi!" The two looked at each other, smiled and nodded in response.

Then the master told them some more information about ghosts.

For example, a ghost with supernatural powers can perform a spell called [Vampire Art].

Let them be very careful when fighting this kind of ghost in the future.Fighting them is more difficult than before.

"But if it's you, it will be fine." For Lin Taki's trust, they responded seriously: "Thank you, master, we will."

At this time, Tanjiro said to Rinaki: "Well, I feel that Nezuko and Xiao Ling are different from other ghosts."

"Xiaoling created the breath of ghosts himself, which is quite different from the ghosts you mentioned. Also, does Nezuko also know the blood ghost technique?"

"No, she won't. Although it's just a guess, Nezuko should recover her strength not by eating people, but by sleeping."

"In addition, Xiaoling is very special. She is different from the ghosts in this world. She cannot be judged simply. Maybe she won't."

Matsuma Ling looked at his master and realized that he had almost guessed his origin.She became more determined about the path she would take in the future.

【She wants to protect the people she cherishes and her family. 】

Fifteen days later, the two stood in front of the door, waiting for the knife forger the master had mentioned.

Not long after, they saw a person wearing a bamboo hat with bells hanging around it, walking slowly towards them.

When he came to him, Tanjiro asked hesitantly: "Are you..."

"My name is Steelzuka. I forged the knives of Kamado Tanjiro and Matsuma Ryo and sent them over."

The two bowed to him together after hearing the words, and then introduced themselves one after another.

"I am Tanjirou Kamado."

"I'm Rei Matsuma, please come in and have a rest." After she finished speaking, she was about to enter the room with Tanjiro, when she saw the man sitting outside and unwrapping the cloth that wrapped the box.

Turning his back to them, he said, "This is the Sun Wheel Knife, which was forged by me."

"Well, I made tea for you, please sit inside." Rei Matsuma said again, the man still said to himself: "Tanjiro's Japanese knife is made from the mountain closest to the sun. Then The iron that absorbs sunlight is forged from them."

"And Ling Matsuma's knife was taken from the cave under the waterfall in the deepest part of the mountain. Because the iron became hard because of the extreme cold, it was made of them."

Immediately after that, the man turned around suddenly, stared at Tanjirou and said, "You are [the son of He Zhuo]! This is really auspicious."

Tanjiro didn't understand what he meant, and explained seriously: "No, I'm the son of Tanjuro and Aoie."

"That's not what I meant. Your hair and eyes are red. Families who do fire-related business occasionally bring this kind of child."

After he finished speaking, he poked Tanjiro's cheek with his finger, and Tanjiro replied inarticulately: "That's right, I don't even know."

Matsuma Ling walked between the two to separate them, then took the man's hand and put it down gently, and said to the man: "Even if you are an elder, you can't do anything recklessly."

"Oh! You are the ghost who can't die without seeing light, and when you grabbed my wrist just now, it seemed that your hand was still warm. It turns out that ghosts are so human-like."

"I'm starting to look forward to what color the knife you touch will turn into. But [Son of He Zhuo], maybe it will turn red."

After entering the house, the man didn't drink the tea, so he asked the two to draw their swords quickly. He was really looking forward to it.

After the two drew their swords one after another, Tanjiro's had a pure black blade, while Matsuma Ryo's had a red blade with flowing ancient characters on it.

Compared with Matsuma Ryo's sword, Tanjiro's black sword looks ordinary.

Even Ryotaki sighed: "It's really dark!" Tanjiro looked flustered: "Hey! Isn't black bad?! Could it be that this is unlucky?"

"No, that's not the case, it's just that this kind of pure black is rare." Lin Taki retorted lightly, and the former swordsman sighed: "Hey, although I'm a little disappointed, it's okay."

Suddenly there were two crows outside, and then they landed on the window. The crow with white hair on its head shouted: "Matsuma Ling, give me an order now. Go to the small town in the northwest, where a girl disappeared, please go to the It beheaded."

Another crow said to Tanjiro: "Tanjiro, the mission is the same as above, go with Rei Matsuma."

"Girls disappear every night. Find out the ghosts lurking in the town and kill them decisively. Tanjirou Kamado, please be careful."

"This is your first job as a ghost hunter."

Tanjirou murmured: "The first job." Ryo Matsuma clenched the sword slightly: "Of course we must take it seriously."

【Next day - early morning】

After they put on the team uniforms, the two of them knelt and sat face to face with Rinaki, and he told them: "This is your first time performing the mission of the Ghost Slayer Squad. Before that, I want to explain a few things to you."

"Please say." ×2

"The uniforms of the Ghost Slayer Squad that you are wearing now are made of special fibers. They are breathable, waterproof and fire-resistant, and the claws and teeth of weak little ghosts can't tear the uniforms at all."

Tanjiro touched the fabric when he heard the words, and sighed in his heart: 【It's so amazing. 】

"Then there is your Sun Wheel Knife. It changes color depending on the owner, and different colors have different characteristics. However, the color styles of your two knives are really rare, so we know little about them."

"Because I don't understand too much, so..." Tanjiro saw that his master didn't continue, so he hurriedly asked: "So what's the matter, master?"

Lin Taki continued: "Because I don't understand too much, some people say that swordsmen with unusual swords will not make much progress."

Matsuma Ling heard that she didn't speak. She was really speechless about these feudal thoughts.

And Tanjiro replied with a smile: "Although I don't know what it will become in the Demon Slayer Squad, but I will definitely turn Nezuko and Xiao Ling back into humans."

Hearing what he said, Matsuma Ling looked at him, seeing the indelible light in his eyes, she couldn't bear to say that she couldn't turn back into a human again.

Because I am different from Nezuko after all, even if I find a way to transform a ghost into a human, I cannot transform myself into a human.

Ryotaki glanced at Ryo Matsuma with his head down, and then said to Tanjiro, "Yes, I also believe that you will be able to find it."

"Hi!"

"And this." Rinaki moved the box beside Tanjiro to Tanjiro: "This is the box used to carry my sister during the day."

"It's made of wood from Wuyun Mountain, so it's easy to carry. I applied rock paint on the outside to reinforce it, so it's very strong."

Tanjirou sincerely thanked: "Thank you very much, Master Rinaki."

After one person and two ghosts were ready, they embarked on the road to the mission location.

Not long after, the two went down the mountain to the market, and a man walked towards him with a dazed expression and disordered steps.

Suddenly someone commented: "Look, that's Heji." "Hey! They're all haggard like that, how pitiful."

"After all, Riko was kidnapped by a ghost when he was with him." Hearing this, Tanjirou and Matsuma Ryo stopped and turned to look at Kazuki.

After they had left, they continued to move forward.The crowd was still talking about it: "It's terrible that something happens every night."

"It's disgusting, young girls will be kidnapped again at night." Hearing this, Tanjiro turned to Kazuya, stopped not far behind him, and shouted to him: "Kaji-san!"

Hearing that, Kazuha stopped, turned and looked at Tanjirou.Seeing him turn around, Tanjiro continued: "I have something to ask you, is that okay?"

Afterwards, the two learned what happened, and followed Kazuya to the scene of the crime that day. Tanjiro was lying on the ground, smelling the faint scent of ghosts.

Then Tanjiro followed the smell, along the route it took, until he found the night, and came to the place where he finally stopped.

Suddenly hearing the girl's screams, Tanjirou and Matsuma Ryo rushed in that direction.

Seeing the figures of the two galloping, He Ji followed closely behind.When he rushed to the side of the two, one was in front of him protecting the other and the other was hugging the girl.

On the ground in front of them, the upper body of a ghost emerged.Tanjiro looked at the ghost in front of him who could only use blood ghosts, and asked, "Where is the girl you kidnapped?!"

Regardless of the ghost gnashing its teeth, Tanjiro continued: "I want to ask you two questions." Before he finished asking, the ghost fell into the ground, and the breath still existed around it, indicating that it hadn't left.

Matsuma Ling handed the girl to Heji who stepped forward, and said to him: "You hold her by our side, so that you can protect both of you and fight easily."

"it is good!"

Tanjiro used his keen sense of smell to explore the direction of the ghost.However, Matsuma Ling relied on his perception as a half-ghost to capture the traces of ghosts, but found three of them.

In other words, the ghost split into three, because they smell the same, and ghosts basically don't travel together.

And this ghost who is divided into three parts seems to have divided his personality, one is very calm, one is very irritable, and the other is very weird.

The calm ghost looked at Ryo Matsuma, who was wearing the uniform of the Ghost Killing Team and holding a sword, and asked, "Why, the ghost would join the Ghost Killing Team and hold a sun-knife. Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?"

"Also, boy, what about the ghost that jumped out of the box on your back?"

[It's really interesting that the swordsman and the ghost act together, but I really don't understand it. 】

After the calm ghost said "I can't understand it", it sneaked into the ground.The irascible ghost that was kicked by Nezuko was also taken underground by the other two.

Seeing Nezuko turn around to look at him, Kazuya took a step back in fright, saw Nezuko pat the unconscious girl and Kazuki's head, as if recognizing who they were.

Seeing the ghost appearing again, Nezuko ran over and kicked it hard with his right foot, but the ghost dived down to dodge it.

Immediately afterwards, one person and three ghosts fought in a division of labor, one-on-one with the three ghosts.At first Tanjiro was afraid that Nezuko could not do it, but in the end he chose to believe her.

The final result was as they had imagined. Although it was a bit difficult, the ghost was killed perfectly.

After finishing the calm ghost, Ling Matsuma turned around and saw Nezuko scratched on the forehead by the irascible ghost, and wanted to pierce her head.

She ran towards it quickly, outputting two moves in a row.

[Ghost's Breath - One Style - Haunted by Evil Ghosts]

【Ghost Breath-Second Style-Extreme Asura】

While breathing, the hands of the irascible ghost were chopped off by Matsuma Ling.When it fell to the ground with its back against the wall, Ryo Matsuma pointed at it with a sword and asked, "Tell me everything you know about Ghost Mai Tsujimu."

The ghost looked at Matsuma Ling in shock: "Why do you say that lord's name, will you be fine?"

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me what you know about him."

Seeing that the ghost didn't speak, she pressed the point of the knife against its neck, and said coldly, "Say it quickly!"

"No... I can't say it." The ghost trembled in fear, shaking its head at her.

In the underground, Tanjiro, who defeated the strange ghost, saw this scene when he came up.Seeing that the ghost kept muttering "can't say", his bones were trembling, and his whole body exuded the smell of fear.

It's like if you tell the relevant information about that person, it will die immediately.It even recovered its severed hands in an instant, and attacked Ryo Matsuma.

Seeing this, Tanjiro hurried forward. Although he had great confidence in Matsuma Ryo's strength, he couldn't gamble, so he pulled Matsuma Ryo back, and then beheaded the irascible ghost.

Then he knelt down and looked at the chair by the wall. Nezuko, who had fallen into a deep sleep, assured her that he would definitely speed up and turn her back into a human.

After giving Riko's belongings to Kazumi, Tanjiro put Nezuko back in the box, and the two turned and left.
