——The battle is over—

"The bond with Purgatory Kyojuro: 1435"

"Experience gained: 14489"

"Experience value from the next level: 1058897"

"Boots obtained: None"

Cool.

You sheathed your knife, turned around and prepared to call it a day and go home. When you saw the back of the train conductor running away, you suddenly remembered something.

Grass, you chopped up the car in a moment of excitement just now, no one will ask you to lose money later, right?

This is a big problem. You get nervous and rush back to find Purgatory, wondering if the Ghost Killing Squad can be reimbursed for such unexpected mission expenses. Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, you will encounter Purgatory who is already awake. The knife rushed over, and the flame-like cloak tail drew a red arc in mid-air.

"Swordsman Weiming!" Purgatory saw you from a distance, and called out loudly: "What's the situation now?"

"Hazuruichi is lurking on the train." You replied, "His blood ghost technique can make people fall into a dream, I just solved him."

Purgatory, who is walking towards you with great momentum, pauses.

"Huh?" He restrained his fighting spirit slightly, "Has the mission been completed?"

"Shouldn't it?" You said hesitantly, "I'm sure that ghost is dead, but because the ghost merged with the train, I cut off the front of the train..."

You carefully looked at Purgatory: "I'm afraid the passengers in this car will be trapped here tonight."

As a social animal who failed so badly before changing careers, you have strong unease about all subordinate relationships other than the current boss. You have encountered annoying bosses like the successor country governor more than once, and now it is the middle of the night In the wilderness, if you make Zhu have to climb back to the station on foot, will he wear shoes for you in the future?

You can see the upturned hairs on both sides of Purgatory's forehead soften.

"Really?" he said, without looking angry. "You did a good job."

You: "...Huh?"

Purgatory patted you on the shoulder, he was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would fall asleep under the blood ghost technique when Swordsman Weiming was fighting with Twelve Ghost Moon. It shouldn't... no, it should be said that it is quite embarrassing!"

Eh... is he taking the initiative to take the blame?

You were shocked, and Purgatory continued: "Swordsman Wei Ming can kill Twelve Ghost Moon alone, his strength should not be underestimated, why not be my stepson, I will train you well!"

His eyes were twinkling, and there was a passion that seemed to overwhelm you.

What, what's going on?Why did your good leadership radar suddenly sound?

You clutched your chest and stared at Purgatory thumpingly.

"Oh hoo!" You said, nodding repeatedly.

So you accepted Purgatory's invitation and became his stepson.

After dawn, the members of the logistics department who received the news rushed over to help settle the passengers on the train. Because of your excellent performance in this mission, your team member level has been raised to one level. Also doubled.

Yes, the members of the Ghost Killing Squad are paid.

The Ubuyashiki clan, head of the Demon Slayer Squad, has lasted for thousands of years, and their accumulated wealth and contacts are immeasurable. The current lord's patriarch is named Ubuyashiki Yoya. You haven't met him, but I heard that he is a good leader with a broad mind, calmness and gentleness.

This good leader with a big heart pays his salary very readily.

There are ten ranks of members of the Demon Slayer Squad, A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Gen, Xin, Rengui. It is not convenient for you to ask how much the salary of other ranks is, but your monthly salary at the lowest rank is 65 yen. Considering that Japan’s most The tuition fee of a good imperial university is about 50 yuan a year, which is definitely a high salary.

The fact that your boss is rich and powerful will undoubtedly greatly increase your enthusiasm for work. Your savings will soon exceed 500 yen, and you will still have enough to buy new winter clothes. Not long after returning from the mission, he was thrown to participate in functional recovery training with Tanjiro Inosuke, but because he could not keep up with the speed of the swordsman who assisted him during the training, he was beaten to skip class, and went to the kitchen every day to steal snacks .

"At least it's your senior, why can't you suffer at all?" During lunch, Kanzaki Aoi, who was in charge of taking care of him, complained to you dissatisfied, "Kaomen Swordsman taught him to practice the whole breath concentration. Studying is really too lazy."

You gnaw on the grilled chicken and look at her in confusion.

What is the whole breathing concentration?

Aoi Kanzaki didn't notice your doubts, and continued to ramble on. You are like a scumbag who has slept through a key class. You are very concerned about a vocabulary you have never heard of, but you are too embarrassed to ask your classmates. It's going to kill me.

But people always come up with the solution. It’s inconvenient for you to ask Aoi Kanzaki, but it doesn’t mean you can’t ask the person on the topic. After you finished eating the grilled chicken, you made a detour to the infirmary, planning to chat with Tanjiro.

"Is anyone there?" you ask, knocking on the infirmary door.

"Ashin? You're back?" You heard Shanyi's voice from inside the room, "Open the door and come in... Ah!"

Ok?

You pushed open the door strangely, and saw Shanyi getting up in a panic to look for a rag. He seemed to have accidentally knocked down the ink bottle on the bedside table just now, and his sleeve was stained black.

"What are you doing?" You asked, walked over to help deal with the ink stains, saw an unused envelope on his bed, and asked, "Are you writing a letter to the master?"

"Eh? No, it's not." Shanyi said, "I wrote a letter to Grandpa this month, this is..."

He paused for a moment, as if he was a bit embarrassed to speak. You were just asking casually, but seeing Shanyi's reaction aroused your curiosity.

"Then this is a letter to your girlfriend?" You asked enthusiastically.

Shanyi was startled, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, no!"

"It's brother, I'm writing a letter to brother." He said, "Ashin came late, so I haven't seen him."

Only then did you realize that Sangshima Cigoro had taken in a disciple before, that disciple was named Yue Yue, who was said to be very intelligent and good at learning, he left Taoshan early to join the Ghost Killing Squad, and now he should be on a mission elsewhere.

"Recently, I've been relatively free, so I wanted to write a letter to tell my brother that I also passed the selection and successfully joined the team." Shan Yi said, "I don't know how he is doing now."

"Is that so." You have no real feeling about the relationship between apprentices of the Breath of Thunder Sect. After thinking about it, you asked again: "Is Senior Brother Huang Yue handsome?"

Shanyi hesitated for a moment, "It's... still okay?"

He scratched his head, as if he didn't know how to describe it, "I have no idea about a man's appearance, Ashin, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing," you said seriously, "I just prefer handsome guys."

Shanyi choked up.

Tanjiro was not around, so you picked up a chair and sat down to wait. Zenitsu continued to write his letter. I don’t know if he was out of words or what. He held back for a long time without writing a few words, and finally had to temporarily put step aside.

"What did Ashin ask Tanjiro for?" he asked.

"It's nothing." You said, "I just want to know what the whole concentration of breathing is. Aoi said that he has been practicing this recently."

Shanyi's expression suddenly became very strange.

"Comprehensive breathing·Changzhong, is to use the breathing of the whole day without interruption." He said, "Hasn't Ashin practiced it a long time ago? Miss Kui said that you only spent half a month, and you are very good. Woolen cloth."

Um?when did you do this

You recall vaguely, then realize that probably happened around the time you were disconnected.

"Oh oh oh!" You clapped your palms pretending to realize suddenly, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, sorry, I forgot."

Shanyi looked at you inexplicably.

"This is generally not something that can be easily forgotten..." He said, he didn't know what he thought of, and his mood became inexplicably depressed.

"What is there to remember about hard work like training?" You said, "But your negative attitude just now..."

You can't help but look Shanyi up and down, "...I said, you don't have someone you like, do you?"

This is just your guess, but Shanyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blushed.

He stammered, "Why, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Well, this reaction, you think, is definitely that the mother-fetal single has not escaped until now.

"No, I don't have anyone I like, Ashin, don't get me wrong." He said quickly, "I didn't have a chance to go down the mountain after practicing with my grandfather, and I haven't dated girls for a long time—"

Ok?

You looked up in astonishment, and saw Shanyi covering his mouth as if he knew he had made a slip of the tongue.

What the hell!

You were startled and almost jumped up, "Have you ever been in love?!"

Liar!This guy is only 16 years old!He must have been a kid a year ago, but he actually fell in love?

how could it be possible?

You don't mean to discriminate against Shanyi, but his whining character is really not in line with the mainstream Japanese concept of mate selection in your impression, and the meaning of the sentence "I haven't dated girls for a long time"...means that he not only talks about Have you ever been in love?

You gasped, you didn't expect Shanyi, who has big eyebrows and big eyes, to be a showrunner, he really can't be judged by appearances.

"Why are you covering your mouth!" You said, and excitedly patted Shanyi, "Tell me quickly! What kind of relationship? What kind of girl? What's going on?"

"I..." Shanyi made an airy sound, before he could open his mouth, he was covered by a loud voice.

"Please stop!" someone yelled.

You turn around and see Tanjiro and the pig-headed boy standing at the door of the infirmary.
