I'm doing a live broadcast in Taisho

"Thank you for coming to the final selection of the Ghost Slayer tonight."

The child's voice is immature but loud, and the wisteria flowers planted everywhere are quite bright under the moonlight in the night.

Ryoko remembered the two talking children. She seemed to have met them at the Zhuhe meeting two years ago. They should be the children of the obstetrician family, but she couldn't remember the names.

Ryoko separated from Akutagawa Ryunosuke when the morning glow in Momokawa Township was rising, and the young man with the bag on his back bowed to her to say goodbye.According to the system, it seems that after he and his classmates from the Fuli No. [-] Middle School agreed to visit a certain place, he was about to make plans for the start of school.

[Host please rest assured, you and Akutagawa boy will meet again soon. ]

...No, I'm not worried about that.

[Maybe after all the missions are over, you, the host, can go to high school with Akutagawa boy. ]

Liangzi paused, she was very interested in what the school would look like a hundred years later, after all, it was her elder brother who invited her husband to teach her in the temple, and she would be noticed if she lost her mind for a moment—if many people attended the class together, they would probably very funny.

But now is probably not the time to wonder about that.

When she walked into Fujishiyama, Ryoko specially put on the fox mask that Rinaki Sakonji gave her.It seemed that he had carved it himself, and Liangzi accepted it gratefully.

The girl in light blue feathers raised her eyes and glanced around. The crowd under the wisteria flowers was serious, and many of them even had some big and small injuries on their bodies.

[Host, I heard you, please throw away the unconventional thoughts in your mind. ]

[——Since the wisteria flowers that ghosts hate bloom all year round from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, why don’t you break a few and bring them in before you go forward, so that the ghosts will detour away. ]

[What crooked idea is this? Be sober, host! ! ! ! ]

Ryoko: ...but you asked me to sell wisteria flowers to the lower strings

[... These are two different things, oh, two different things. ]

"...surviving in it for seven days is the condition for the final selection." Just as Liangzi and the system were arguing in their minds, the children in the maternity house had already lowered their heads, and the lanterns in their hands were shaking, reflecting the warm yellow light. Light the way.

"Good luck, then."

Among the people who came to participate in the final selection, Ryoko was the last one to leave. Compared with the others, she looked a little more relaxed, probably due to the dialogue between her mind and the system.

——That’s why the ghosts in Fujishi Mountain were all captured alive by the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad, so all the animals in that mountain should have been eaten up.

[Do you have bad thoughts again, host. ]

- No, I'm just thinking I haven't read a book on survival, it would be a shame to die from eating poisonous berries or mushrooms.

[You can rest assured that the database of this system includes all the practical creatures in this world, and the host will definitely not die young because of this. ]

Probably because he felt that his dignity as an artificial intelligence had been damaged, the voice of the system sounded firmer than before.

[Ah, that's right, regarding the host's task of selling wisteria flowers down the string, the reward is being settled, and it is expected to be distributed to your backpack within 15 minutes.You will be very happy with this reward host. ]

—I still remember the last time you said that.

The girl shuttled through the woods with steady steps, her thumb rested on the blade cover, and with a little force, the blade covered with a layer of light blue was revealed.

——Then you gave me a handful of wisteria flowers, which were used up in the last mission.

The viscous blood spread out under the moonlight, and finally fell to the ground sparingly, seeping into the soil under his feet.In the middle of the road, the ghost who had lost his head crashed to the ground, his body charred little by little, and finally disappeared into the air without leaving any traces.

The first type of breath of water, water surface slash.

[Ha...haha, all in all, the host will definitely be very happy this time. ]

Ryoko didn't take the knife back, she stared at the place where Oni's body disappeared for a while, and then said to the system in her mind with a sigh.

——No matter how many times you use it, it’s amazing that something like an ocean wave appears when you swing the knife.

[It is detected that the host's pleasure value has increased...why are you always happy in strange places.Having said that, when the host killed the ghost for the first time two years ago, he still vomited for a long time.Are you not afraid now? ]

Liangzi still has some memories of the first ghost killing two years ago, it seems that it was when she just left Butterfly House.

But at that time, what she was afraid of was not killing ghosts, and she was even less afraid now.

[The remaining time is six days, 23 hours and 1.3 minutes, please arrange the time reasonably.Ah, by the way, the summoning card in your backpack is about to collect dust, you can use it for the host, although the success rate of summoning is only [-]%.But if you happen to get the Fire○Ninja series, you can successfully expand the live room. ]

The system is always extraordinarily attentive when it comes to sales, but it is no surprise that Liangzi always recalls the word "don't" firmly.

The reason she gave for this was that although she didn't know what the summoning card was for, she always felt that if something terrible was summoned, it would be as embarrassing as using a possession card, just like that time with Mr. Undead Chuan Same as during the test.

Ryoko will never forget the time when she trained to climb the cliff with bare hands in Xiawu Mountain.She accidentally fell off the cliff, and during the rapid fall, she randomly selected a possession card, and suddenly there were two guns aimed at biubiubiu at the bottom of the mountain—as for why she flew up against gravity , Yoshiko didn't know either.She only knew the indescribable expression on Mr. Sato's face after she squinted her eyes and said "scum" when she just landed.

Although she explained this later, Mr. Sabito has intentionally or unintentionally avoided her head since then when he sparred with her.

...at least not seen by Tomioka-san.

She could think so bitterly.

[warn!warn!The key npc "hand ghost" is detected 200 meters ahead, please avoid the host in time. ]

Ryoko was a little surprised by the system's warning, but she followed it anyway.

——Is the hand ghost a very strong ghost?

[It is considered strong among the ghosts of Fuji Attack Mountain.However, if the host can use system skills, it is far inferior to the twelve ghost moons that the host encountered two days ago. ]

Probably sensing Ryoko's confused expression, the system continued to explain.

[Because of the special existence of "hand ghost", if the host kills it in advance, the growth speed of the protagonist "Kaomen Tanjiro" will change after four years.In order to prevent the butterfly effect, it is not recommended to match it at this point in time. ]

Although she didn't know who Kamado Tanjirou was, Yoshiko roughly understood the meaning of the system.Taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn't seem to notice her existence, the girl holding the knife quickened her pace a little.

[Speaking of which, this "hand ghost" is also related to the three key people you know as the host. ]

?

[The host should have experienced the normal level of the ghosts living in the Fuji attack mountain just now. Back then, your senior brother Sabito chopped down the whole mountain of ghosts by himself.But in the final duel with the hand ghost, his life was ruined because the sun wheel knife was broken. ]

Ryoko stopped in her tracks, she took a small breath, and made no extra movements.

——Did Sister Mako also die because of this incident?

[That’s not true, the real character is because the “hand ghost” said something, which caused... No, no, why did you stop, the host, the “hand ghost” has already sensed the host’s aura, if this continues, you will... …]

Contrary to the anxious tone of the system, Ryoko didn't seem to have any plans to run away. She raised the hand holding the Hikari sword and put the sword back into the sheath.

——Senior Sister Mako doesn't seem like someone who would lose her sense of control just because of some words, so it said...

"Hahaha, it appeared, and it appeared again!" The tree that blocked the moonlight was pushed away, and the shadow cast from above covered the girl's figure. When Ryoko raised his head, he met those terrifying golden eyes, and held his hands. The ghost itself is just like its name, its body shape is composed of countless hands, and even the neck and half of the face are tightly entwined by the two grown hands.

Its pupils moved, and it let out a strange laugh with a piercing voice, "Fox mask——! 1, 2... 12, you are the 12th!"

Because she was too tired from keeping her face up all the time, Ryoko simply turned around and took a few steps back to look at it.She frowned, as if she didn't understand why the ghost in front of her suddenly became excited.

"It's this mask—that Zuo Jinci probably never imagined that I, who was captured here by him, have already eaten eleven of his disciples!"

"Ah... I really want to see the expression on his face when he finds out about this, hee, hee hee - when I said that last time, the girl in the cherry blossom kimono was still crying and lost her temper, so, I Just tore off her limbs..."

boom--

Dozens of trees were cut in half, and the dust stirred up was accompanied by the exclamation of birds.

In the slowly dissipating smoke and dust, Ryoko slowly withdrew her hand.

"...This skill is quite easy to use."

[...Ahhhhhhhhh what are you doing host? ! ! ]

——Because as long as you don’t use the Hinata Oni, you won’t be killed.

The girl's black eyes reflected the two hands that pierced through the smoke and came towards her at high speed.

——So, it doesn't matter if you crush it with your fist.

[Although the host, you have finally embarked on the right path of the protagonist of the boy manga, I am very happy, but your character design! !The character design is broken, the character design! !Even if you don't take action, the No. 14 apprentice Tanjiro Kamado will kill him in four years. It's okay, I will leave it to Master Kamado to avenge your brothers and sisters...]

fourteen.

[…?

You mean that in the next four years, not only will I have a junior sister, but the junior sister will die because of this ghost.

[...It doesn't have to be the junior sister, it may also be the junior brother. ]

The system struggled in despair, and then she watched her host pull out the knife.

"I changed my mind."

It heard Ryoko say that.

The girl's hand holding the knife had distinct knuckles, probably because of too much force, and the usually pink nails turned pale.

But at this moment, the huge green monster collapsed in front of her eyes, and she heard a clang, and the sun wheel knife in her hand broke in two.

Something warm splashed onto her face, Ryoko subconsciously touched her cheek with her fingertips.

blood.

Not her blood.

The hand ghost was killed, and at that moment, even the sun wheel sword with her was broken.

—and she hadn't even noticed it before.

What kind of terrifying existence is this...

A hairpin passed through the girl's hair.It was a wooden hairpin with a small red flower pinned to the head. The white gem embedded in the center of the flower was translucent and beautiful, reflecting the man's upturned lips.

A hand landed lightly on top of her head.

As if she had a premonition, Ryoko froze, and she turned her head in disbelief.

"It's beautiful, Yoshiko."

That's a child's mill.

The author has something to say: Osamu Dazai: Is the word crushing familiar?

Atsushi Nakajima: Ah!In this way, Mr. Zhongyuan seems to say this sentence often?

Osamu Dazai: (suddenly realized) That's how it is! (Shaking his head) Sure enough, Ms. Liangzi was misled by Zhong Ye
