After wandering around Tokyo for two days, BIO flew back to find you with a new mission.

"Beibeidong! Beibeidong!" it yelled, "There are rumors of ghosts appearing in the mountains and rivers of Kyoto! Go and investigate! Go and investigate!"

Shit, back to work again.

You can't help but click your tongue.

BIO suddenly exploded into a ball of badminton, frantically flapping your face with its wings: "Tsk what tsk! Tsk what tsk! Obviously you told me to inform you where there is a powerful ghost in the first place! Shame on you! Shame on you!"

You bought a corn for BIO and successfully blocked the fragrance in its mouth.

Alas, the time for fishing always flies so fast, you have to reluctantly interrupt the half-way tourism business, and drag Shanyi on the road again.

You hurriedly walked for two days before finally arriving at the junction of the three counties of Amada, Gazuo and Yosano in Kyoto Prefecture. There were rumors of a monster with black double horns. The ghost killing team sent several swordsmen up the mountain to investigate, but there was no news after that.

As far as the nature of your profession is concerned, it is basically certain that there are ghosts in such a situation.

It's the spring plowing season, and the cherry trees near Kyoto are in full bloom. You and Shan Yi walked slowly through the scattered paddy fields. Ghosts are afraid of the sun, and they never come and go in the daytime, so the two of you are very relaxed, chatting about the last time with nothing to do An opera that I didn't finish watching in Tokyo.

The air in the suburbs is filled with a sweet fragrance, which smells a bit like the kapok that has just begun to rot. You yawn and see a hill of petals piled up under the cherry tree not far away, a half-new wooden box Stand in the pile of petals and shake it from time to time.

You are a little strange, so you go around.

"There must be someone sleeping under the tree." When you are about to approach, Shanyi who came over to look at you said to you, "I heard snoring."

Sure enough, there is a person next to the wooden box. You stroke the thick petals on the other person's body, and you find that you know this person.

"Tanjiro?" You asked in surprise, "Why are you sleeping here?"

Tanjiro, who was asleep with his eyes closed, didn't answer.

His face was flushed, his hands were weakly hugging the box beside him, and he was muttering unsound words. When you click on the panel, you will find that there is a state of "drunk" on his head.

...drunk?

You are startled.

Although Japan will enact the "Law on Prohibition of Underage Drinking Alcohol" ten years later, children nowadays should not be so drunk and fall asleep on the side of the road in broad daylight, right?

You picked up Tanjirou's collar and sniffed it, but there was no smell of alcohol, so you turned your gaze to the vibrating box aside, wanting to open it to see what was inside.

At the moment when you are about to touch the box, Tanjiro, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, and headed towards you like a calf, you quickly dodged his attack and retreated to a safe distance.

"What's the matter?" Shanyi was taken aback, "Why did they suddenly start fighting?"

You also wonder why.

After repelling you, Tanjiro immediately picked up the wooden box. He stumbled and ran away. After walking a few steps, he lost his footing and fell to the ground, picking up flower petals.

"Protect... protect Nezuko..." Tanjiro murmured, "Protect Nezuko..."

He tilted his head and fell asleep again.

you:"……???"

Grass, is this guy really drunk?

"What is he doing?" Shanyi asked blankly, "Ashin, is your friend sick?"

"I don't know." You were also at a loss, "In short... In short, take him away first, if you lie on the ground and sleep all the time, you will get sick."

That wooden box seems to be very important to Tanjiro. As soon as you touch him, he wakes up in a panic. After clinging to the box tightly, he fell asleep not long after. You tried a few times, but found that you couldn’t wake him up. , simply moved him to a hotel in Kyoto with Shanyi, and asked the proprietress to cook some hangover soup, trying to feed him.

I don’t know if the hangover soup had an effect, but Tanjiro’s condition quickly stabilized—his face didn’t turn red, but he slept more soundly. You and Zenitsu had nothing to do around you, so you just played double six .

when you play

In the 12th round, Tanjiro woke up.

"Well……"

He groaned and pushed away the quilt on his body, got up and looked around the room, "This is..."

Tanjiro's eyes stopped on you, and he asked in surprise, "Miss Kazushin?"

"Well, long time no see." You stared at the chessboard intently and greeted casually.

I don't know what kind of luck Shanyi had today, he was very lucky, he only got "Broken Foot" once in the twelve rounds of the game, but you were unlucky, you were robbed, cheated by your business partners and When your house caught fire and you found out that your wife was cuckolding you, you had to kill him twice, without winning for several hours, you were so angry that you almost wanted to fight him.

The lucky value is so high!

"Ashin, Tanjirou is awake." Shanyi reminded hesitantly, "Why don't we stop playing this game, first..."

He shut his mouth under your staring eyes.

"Roll the dice." You said calmly.

Shan Yi did so with tears in his eyes.

"Six o'clock." He jumped the chess piece, his expression froze: "...the youngest son gets married, and the granddaughter is born."

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

You are going to kill this Ou Huang! ! !

You haven't taken off the green hat on your mother's head, this guy is already in the same family for three generations! ! !

Tanjiro looked at you with a bewildered face, he suddenly remembered something, quickly opened the box beside him, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why is Ms. Yixin here?" He asked, "Did you also rush over to investigate after receiving news from Da Jiangshan?"

"Yes." You said, "What's the matter with you? Drinking too much during the day and lying on the side of the road dreaming?"

"Drink too much?" Tanjiro was taken aback, and it took a while to realize, "No, I didn't drink, it's the enemy's blood ghost technique."

"Blood ghost technique?" Shanyi turned his head in surprise, and you also paid some attention, "Tell me carefully."

Tanjiro thought for a while, then said slowly, "That's a very petite woman..."

Tanjiro went up the mountain at Haishi last night.

He probably has the kind of character that today's work is done today. After rushing to the capital, he only rested for a while, and then walked into the mountains and forests in the dark. Something happened on the river and mountains, and the strong alcohol smell of fermented fruits was everywhere.

The smell of alcohol was wicked and pungent, Tanjiro felt dizzy after a while, he managed to pull himself together, and continued walking in the forest, and then saw a short-haired girl holding a jug on a raised rock.

"Ah, there are guests again." said the girl, she was so beautiful that she was not human at all, and her eyebrows were full of charm.

"Young man, do you want to drink with my concubine?"

The young ghost hunter silently pulled out his knife.

"... Then I lost." Tanjiro said in a low voice, "The other party seems to be able to affect people's spirits through the smell of alcohol, and I was very drunk very quickly. If Nezuko hadn't led me to escape, I might have died. "

...Why does the description of this ghost sound familiar?

"Did the other party give their name?" Shanyi asked.

"Yes." Tanjiro said, "but I don't think that's her real name. That ghost said her name was Shuten-douji, but isn't Shuten-douji a man?"

"The problem isn't gender, is it?" Zenitsu said with an expression of "Brother, your focus is completely wrong", "The real Shuten-douji died as early as the Heian period, it's well-known, how could he survive till now? "

You don't think his focus is right.

"Who is Nezuko?"

you ask seriously.

The author has something to say: The plots of the original Drum House and Spider Mountain should be skipped. If I write it, I will hang myself.

The protagonist trio will probably meet and kill in a few chapters

When it comes to ghosts, I think of Shuten-douji, when it comes to Shuten-douji, I think of fgo, when it comes to fgo, I think of my sinking pond (crack
