[Blade of Demon Slayer] Half-Ghost

Chapter 7: No Miserable Encounter

Just after the first mission was completed, Raven came to assign a new mission, Asakusa in Tokyo Prefecture, where ghosts appeared.

Looking at Tanjiro who complained about the rush of time, and his letter crow who urged him to go quickly, Ryo Matsuma touched the letter crow standing on his shoulder, and said to it: "Zero, we meet again."

Raven nodded her hand in answer.

One person and two ghosts embarked on a new journey.And the two ravens left quickly.

When they arrived in Tokyo, Matsuma Ryo was very calm looking at the bustling scene in front of him, while Tanjiro was shocked.

[The city is already so developed, it can be so bright at night, and why are the houses so tall? 】

He didn't realize that he was walking on the track, it was Ling Matsuma who pulled him back.

Fortunately, the tram was not traveling too fast because of the night, otherwise she couldn't guarantee that Tanjiro, who was in this state, would be completely fine.

Immediately afterwards, Tanjiro took Matsuma Ryo to the alley, but accidentally bumped into the couple who were kissing passionately, and then he blushed and bowed to the two: "Hi, excuse me."

After speaking, he pulled Song Jianling and quickly ran out of the alley and returned to the street.

He took her to escape from the main street, came to an almost deserted place and saw a vendor selling udon soup, Tanjiro put Nezuko down, carried her out and pulled her.

Then he walked to the boss's booth and said to the boss: "Please give me two bowls of yam mud udon." The boss looked at the weak Tanjiro and replied blankly: "Oh, yes."

After the udon soup was served, when the two of them were about to eat with their hands in their hands, Tanjiro suddenly smelled something, and suddenly got up and dropped the udon soup in his hand to the ground.

Seeing this, Ryo Matsuma put down the bowl, frowned at Tanjiro and asked, "Tanjiro, what's wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't respond to her, she ran in one direction. She paid the money quickly, put Nezuko back in the box and carried it on her back, and chased in the direction he left.

When I caught up with him, I saw that he was about to draw his sword facing a man in a suit and leather shoes.

Rei Matsuma looked at the crowd around him, and quickly stopped him: "Tanjiro, calm down!" He was in a state of anger, and he couldn't listen to what she said.

At this moment, a little girl's voice came: "What's wrong, Dad." Rei Matsuma and Tanjiro were stunned when they heard the voice, only to see the man turn around slightly, revealing the little girl who was held in his arms.

"Are you looking for something from me? It looks like you're in a hurry." Although he was smiling at the moment, Ling Matsuma could feel the endless malice revealed deep in those eyes.

At this time a woman came over and asked: "What's the matter?" The girl smiled and called the woman's mother.

Ryo Matsuma felt that the woman and the child were human beings, but the man was clearly a ghost, and Tanjirou's reaction was so intense.

[Could it be...he is Ghost Mai Tsuji? ! 】

Wu Mi seemed to have heard her heart, and looked at her with a faint smile.

"Do you know them?" The woman asked Wu Mi, who looked at Matsuma Ryo and said, "I don't know them. I'm also confused. I don't know them at all."

Wu Mi said with an innocent face: "Is it true that they recognized the wrong person?" At the same time, he scratched the husband of a couple who passed by him with his long nails in front of the two of them.

The man was clutching the back of his neck, and her wife was looking at him worriedly: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Then the man raised his head, bared his fangs, and was about to bite his wife. Seeing this, Tanjiro wanted to stop him, but it was too late when he arrived.

Tanjiro didn't know how to solve it, Matsuma Ryo turned around and looked at Onimai Tsuji Mumi viciously, he just responded with a light smile.

Matsuma Ling hated his smile so much that he turned his head away from looking at him.I saw that man raised his head, and even opened his mouth.

She quickly ran over to kick him away, and then pinned him down. Tanjiro took off his cloak, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it in the man's mouth.

The two managed to suppress the man, because there were people all around, and the man didn't eat people, so they had no reason to kill him.

In the final analysis, he is just an innocent person, and he just happened to pass by Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi at this time, so he had such an experience.

Looking at Onimai Tsuji who turned and left, Tanjiro shouted unwillingly: "Onimai Tsuji, no matter where you go, I will find you."

【Why is he so cruel? I don't know that his behavior will destroy the happiness of a family.That's right...as a real ghost, how could he pay attention to these things. 】

"Gimu Tsuji Wuyou, I will definitely kill you... with my own hands." Rei Matsuma's voice was soft, but he slapped Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou hard in the heart.

He couldn't help turning his head, seeing Tanjiro looking at him unwillingly, and the ghost girl with a special smell locked his eyes at this moment, as if trying to tear himself apart.

【Interesting, I hope you won't let me down, I look forward to your future performance. 】

Immediately after Guiwu Tsuji left, a policeman came to them and tried to pull the two of them apart. During the pull, he saw the man's face: "What's the matter with his face, has he lost his mind?"

"Pull these two teenagers away."

Ryo Matsuma kicked the two away, and Tanjiro yelled, "Please don't do this, we don't want him to kill anyone."

"So, please don't hinder us." Matsuma Ling raised the knife and looked at the two with cold eyes.

The two policemen watched her raise the knife and hold the handle ready to draw it at any time. Although they were afraid, they felt that she dared not. After all, they both looked like little ghosts.

"What, kid, do you still want to continue to resist?!" After he finished speaking, he raised his baton and was about to slash at them, when suddenly there was a scent, and a flower-like magic circle rose around them.

Except for the two of them, and the man who turned into a ghost, everyone else was isolated.

As the scent gradually became stronger, a woman and a boy walked in from the side of the magic circle.

The woman looked at the man under Tanjiro's body and asked him suspiciously: "That man has turned into a ghost, yet you call him a human and try to save him."

After speaking, she cut her arm again: "Then I will help you too."

Tanjiro asked suspiciously: "Why? You are not, your smell is not..." Although Tanjiro understands that not all ghosts are bad, but he has just seen the reason for Wu Mi, and he is a little restless at the moment.

The woman replied: "Yes, that's right, I am a ghost, and I am also a doctor. I want to kill that person, kill Oni Mai Tsuji."

Tanjiro turned his head to look at Ryo Matsuma, seeing her nodding, he trusted the woman.After he handed over the man who had turned into a ghost to her, he followed Matsuma Ling back to the noodle stall.

Then she asked the boss for two bowls of noodles. Matsuma Ling looked at the face in front of her furious because her noodles were not eaten by the customers, but fell to the ground. She felt that the boss was very cute.

He felt very angry because he felt that his heart was not well conveyed to the guests. There are not many such people in this era.

After they finished eating udon noodles, Tanjiro had a lively conversation with the boss, and the three planned to find a hotel to stay.

When they were all on the street, Ling Matsuma noticed the most familiar breath, which seemed to be from the boy next to the woman just now.

Nezuko stopped, and Ryo Matsuma, who was pulling the two of them, also stopped when he saw this. Tanjiro stopped and asked, "What's wrong with Ling?"

Matsuma Ryo's eyes signaled Tanjiro to look forward, he looked over as he wished, and saw the boy before, then pulled Matsuma Ryo to the boy and asked, "Are you waiting for us?"

"The adult asked me to take you there."

Hearing this, Tanjiro replied: "I will follow the smell." The boy's face was stern: "There is a blindfold there, are you sure you can find it?"

"Blindfolded?" Tanjiro murmured suspiciously.

The boy suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the two people beside Tanjiro: "By the way, aren't these two women ghosts? And one is very weird, and the other is an ugly girl."

Tanjiro was stunned when he heard the words: "Weird, ugly girl?" Ryo Matsuma looked at Tanjiro in a daze, and she was about to say something, but unexpectedly Tanjiro exploded.

[Strange, do you mean weird?Ugly, is it ugly? 】

"Xiao Ling is not surprised, okay! Nedouzi is not an ugly girl either!! Take a good look at her!"

As a result, the boy ignored him, turned around and walked forward: "Let's go!"

On the way to the destination, Tanjiro corrected his wrong views with the boy, but the boy always chose to ignore it.Ling Matsuma smiled, and Nezuko looked bewildered.

Such a strange combination does not end until the destination.

But after doing this, Matsuma Ling felt that the boy was like a proud cat, and he would lower his head only when talking about that woman.

And Tanjiro was like an orange cat, because the boy said his sister was ugly, and as a sister-in-law, she would never allow it.

After entering the room, looking at the previous woman lying on the bed, Tanjiro said to the woman: "Please take care of the aftermath for us, how is that lady?"

"She's fine." After speaking, the woman turned to face the unconscious woman: "It's just that her husband is pitiful. You caught him and locked him in the dungeon."

Tanjiro looked at the woman for a few seconds, and then asked, "Wouldn't it be hard for you to heal these humans?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was punched on the chest by the young man. The young man looked very unhappy and said, "Do you think that we, as ghosts, endure the desire to eat people and help humans heal?"

Ryo Matsuma pushed Tanjiro with his elbow, Tanjiro also realized that he had said something wrong, lowered his head and his face was full of apology: "Sorry."

The woman stood up and looked at the boy, disapprovingly said: "Don't do this, why are you beating someone?"

"I haven't told you my name yet. My name is Zhu Shi, and his name is Yu Zhonglang. Please get along well with him."

Tanjirou was about to respond, but when he sensed the boy's rejection, he turned his head to look at Yuchurou, thinking that this was impossible.

"We don't feel uncomfortable." Tanjiro looked at her, and Zhushi continued: "It's much easier than ordinary ghosts."

After speaking, she raised her hand and explained: "I have done many experiments with my own body, and the curse of Onimai Tsuji has also been lifted."

Tanjiro asked suspiciously: "Curse... using your own body for experiments?" Ryo Matsuma frowned slightly.

"Come with me." Zhu Shi took off his coat and said to the two of them.So the two led Nezuko and followed Zhu Shi into the back room.

As soon as she entered, Nezuko fell to the ground, Tanjiro said to her, "Nezuko, this is very rude."

"It's okay, just take it easy." Seeing this, Zhu Shi smiled lightly.

Even though she said that, Tanjiro was still a little embarrassed: "I'm very sorry."

"Then I'll continue. We don't need to eat people to survive now. We just need to replenish a little blood regularly."

Seeing Tanjiro's complex expression, Ryo Matsuma knew that he had misunderstood, so he said, "It's blood bought from someone else, right?"

"Yes, we buy blood from the poor in the name of blood transfusion. Of course, the amount purchased will not affect their health."

Tanjiro heard the words and understood why they didn't have the peculiar smell of ghosts on their bodies, probably because of this reason.So he thought that if only blood was needed, could Xiaoling and Nezuko do the same.

Zhu Shi's next words surprised Tanjiro Matsuma Ling, Yu Zhonglang turned out to be transformed by her, and they believed that only Oni Wu Tsuji could transform people into ghosts.

Matsuma Ling heard the words and fell silent. Tanjirou suddenly asked about Zhushi's age at this time, and was severely taught by Yuchuro, and then Yuchuro was reprimanded by Zhushi's language.

Looking at Zhu Shi's appearance, she really didn't want to increase the number of ghosts, but it was a last resort at the time.But she didn't go against other people's wishes, but first asked and then transformed people into ghosts.

Perhaps this is the biggest difference between her and Ghost Dance Tsuji.Thinking about before, Oni Wu Tsuji was on the street, scratching the back of that man's neck casually, as easily as saying "today's weather is fine".

Tanjiro looked at Ryo Matsuma beside him, and Nezuko who was lying on the floor, and asked Tsushima, "Is there a way to make a person who turned into a ghost turn back into a human?"

"It is possible to make a ghost into a human." Tanjiro was startled when he heard this, and was about to get up to Zhushi when he was stopped by Yuchuro.

After this fall, Tanjiro calmed down a lot. He stroked his head and looked at Zhushi: "Please tell me."

"No matter what kind of injury or disease, there must be medicine and treatment. It is not yet possible to turn ghosts back into humans, but one day it will be possible."

Tanjiro couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard the words, and Zhushi continued after seeing this: "So we made up our minds to find a cure."

"For this reason, I have something to ask you."

Zhu Shi looked at Tanjiro, and said to him: "The current state of Nezuko-san is extremely rare and special, and the same is true for Ling-san."

"Generally speaking, if they haven't eaten the flesh of humans or beasts for a long time, they will definitely become very violent. As you can see, they did not appear in that state."

"This miracle will definitely become the key to research."

Tanjiro touched Nezuko's forehead with his hand, and Nezuko looked at him with a smile and grabbed his hand.

And Tanjirou's other hand was held by Ryo Matsuma's right hand. Ryo Matsuma's hand was very cold, but Tanjirou felt extremely warm at this moment.

Tanjiro and Matsuma Ryo accepted her plea. On the way of slaying oni, they will pay attention to collecting the blood of oni, especially Twelve Onizuki's.

And Rei Matsuma and Nezuko will also leave some blood for her to study.

Suddenly Yuchuro shouted: "Get down!" After he shouted, he hugged Juse in his arms, Matsuma Ryo protected Tanjirou behind him, and Tanjirou hugged Nezuko.

After the two bouncing balls left the room, a few people looked outside and there were two vague figures. The only person with this abnormal ability was a ghost.
