"Previously

His Royal Highness Ryodaki Sakon

Time flies, and it has been a month since we parted from you.During this period, Ms. Higurashi and I solved a lot of ghosts, and I feel that I have improved a lot.

The same is true for Miss Higurashi. Now she has mastered all ten types of water breathing, but she lacks training and her basic skills are a bit weak.Her talent is astonishing. It's a pity that you can't teach it yourself because of your personal affairs.

In the next few days, we will go to the village in the east. I heard that the roar of wild beasts has been heard there for several days, and hunters have been killed.

If you are free, please help pay attention to Miss Higurashi's missing sister.Also hope you take care.

Write this hastily.

Kamado Tanjiro

Putting down his pen, Tanjirou handed the letter to Kaya, "Please."

"Quack——" the big black bird flapped its wings twice and disappeared into the sky.

Tanjiro stretched his waist, they are now living in the hunter's idle house in the woods, there is no one around, and Nezuko can finally come out of the box to let the wind go.

With a sound of "Bang!", the door was knocked open, and Nezuko rushed in biting the bamboo tube.

"Wait a minute! Don't run!" Higurashi Shizuna chased after her with a red string.

...Ah, it started again.Tanjiro opened his mouth and smiled silly.

After the final selection of the Demon Slayer Squad, he took Miss Higurashi who had nowhere to stay and went back to meet Mr. Rinaki.At the same time, Nezuko, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up.

At this time, Higurashi Shizuna knew that Tanjiro's family was killed by ghosts, and her younger sister also became a ghost, so she couldn't help feeling sorry for Nezuko.On the other hand, because Mr. Lin Taki hinted to Nezuko that all human beings are her relatives, Nezuko is also very dependent on Shizuna.

But because Nezuko herself is delirious now, she doesn't respond to most of the words.So after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some jitters.

Just like now.

"Tanjiro, hold her down for me. I must help her comb her hair today. You don't even know that when she squatted on the ground just now, ants crawled into her hair!" Shigure Seina was furious.

"Is that so?" Tanjiro turned his head and asked his younger sister patiently, "Nezuko, can we comb our hair up?"

Nezuko opened her beautiful big light purple eyes and didn't respond, but Tanjiro still felt her sister's resistance.

This... Tanjiro is in a dilemma, what Miss Higurashi said is also reasonable, and if she refuses at this time, will she be unhappy.

On the other hand, Jing Nai saw the struggle of the other party, put down the comb indifferently, and tied the red-haired rope on her hand, "Forget it, anyway, you are carrying her on your back, I don't care if ants crawl into the clothes."

Tanjiro smiled with a good temper, "I have agreed with Mr. Rinaki, and he will also help find someone."

"No, I already have a solution," Higurashi Shizuna waved her hand, confidently said: "After we finish solving this ghost, we will go to Asakusa, Tokyo Prefecture, which is not far away anyway."

"Hey? Going to the town?" Tanjiro has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and he has never been to a big city. It is inevitable that he will feel a little cramped when he hears this place. "Where are we going?"

"Go to the newspaper."

"Report?"

"Yes," Higurashi Shizuna nodded, she had fallen into a misunderstanding before, and never thought of this.In fact, as early as the early years of the Meiji era, Japanese newspapers and magazines were running in full swing.As long as the missing person notice is published in the newspaper, at least a few thousand people will be able to see it, so the chances of finding Kagome will be greatly increased!

"But..." Just when Shizuna was proud of his wit, Tanjiro said hesitantly, "The newspaper should be for money."

"Huh?" Jing Nai was stunned.Looking back, during this period of time, they ate rice balls brought by Tanjiro, and went to the mountains to get some tooth offerings from time to time, and it seems that they really didn't spend much money.

She thought carefully about what she could do in this era, and sadly found that she could hardly find any other skills except street art.

"Miss Higurashi, what's wrong with you, Miss Higurashi? Why are you turning white?" Tanjiro was shocked and supported Shizuna, comforting him: "It's okay, as a ghost killing team, every time you complete a mission, you will get a commission."

"In my case, am I also a member of the Ghost Killing Squad?"

"Of course, didn't Mr. Steelzuka come to make you a sun wheel knife before, although it didn't happen in the end."

"Ah... that pervert." Jing Nai showed a loveless expression, who came out of nowhere, holding her knife and never letting go, insisting on saying it was a masterpiece, and staring at him all day long .If it wasn't for Tanjiro to stop her, she really wanted to slash through it.

After getting an affirmative answer, Higurashi Shizuna finally felt relieved. To be honest, after two months here, there was no news from Kagome, and she also became a little impatient.

After Nezuko got into the box, the two continued to walk forward.

The haunted place is similar to most of the villages at this time. The farmers are honest and seldom go out on weekdays. Only a few hunters who often go up the mountain always deal with outsiders.

They were extremely resistant to Higurashi Shizuna who was dressed strangely.

Fortunately, there is Tanjiro, who seems to have a very magical power, always making people around him trust him involuntarily.

Through conversations with the villagers, they roughly determined the location of the ghost and went up the mountain that night.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the trees in the forest twisted and deformed under the moonlight, like ghosts that were about to fly towards them one by one.

Higurashi Shizuna grabbed Tanjirou's clothes corner, shivering.Suddenly, she screamed violently.

Tanjiro turned his head quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Ghost, ghost..." Jing Nai tremblingly pointed to the distance.

Tanjiro stretched his neck to look carefully, and said helplessly, "Miss Higurashi, that's Neshimenawa. Didn't you say that your family runs a shrine? You should be familiar with these."

The so-called shimenawa is a special rope used to hang on torii gates and sacred trees in shrines to show the boundary with holy things.

"It seems that this place used to be a shrine." Tanjiro looked around. After the Meiji Restoration, influenced by the new trend of thought in the West, many local Japanese things were abandoned, so many such deserted places appeared.

Tanjiro pulled Shizuna, who was probing his brain, to the side of the tree, and after confirming that it was correct, he looked at the other person suspiciously, "Speaking of which, I have never understood why Miss Higurashi is so scared?"

"I don't know many people, but what is certain is that Ms. Higurashi is definitely a swordsman with outstanding talent and a bright future. You are so strong, what are you afraid of?"

Jing Nai was taken aback by his question, and wanted to say hilariously to change the topic, but after touching the boy's extremely clear eyes, she finally sighed.

"Well, I'll tell you what you want to hear. I can see ghosts since I was a child. My parents passed away when I was very young. Looking back now, they probably also do exorcism and killing ghosts."

"I'm sorry," Tanjiro felt pity when he heard this, "I shouldn't let you recall the pain of your parents..."

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Jing Nai slapped her palms up, her eyes turned into the shape of dead fish, "I didn't hurt at all. I was only three years old at that time, and I didn't even remember what my parents looked like. After that, I was When I came to the shrine, there were my grandparents and aunts who love me, as well as my lovely siblings, and I was very happy every day."

Tanjiro: "...then you?"

"After high school, there was a girl named Nishihara Sayuri at the table next to me. She was a single-parent family, and her mother sold rice balls near our school. She was round and was always bullied. I couldn't help her A few times, and then she clings to me all day."

"At that time, the final exam was approaching, and there was a lot of pressure in the class. Somehow, a monster appeared and always followed us. At first, it was just doing some ordinary pranks, and then it became more and more excessive."

"I find it very annoying. I am the only one in the class who can see it, but I have nothing to do with it, so I often skip classes. Until one time, it caused a fire in the laboratory, and Sayuri was killed in that fire gone."

"I heard that she had escaped, but she thought I was still inside, and ran in to save me."

When Higurashi Shizuna said this, her face was expressionless, and her tone of voice didn't change at all, as if she was just stating a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.

However, Tanjiro could still smell the sadness emanating from her.

"So you see, ghosts are just so unreasonable," Jing Nai spread her hands pretending to be indifferent, "We've been together for such a long time anyway, if you say kill someone, you kill him, I'm afraid it's not justified."

She lowered her head and wanted to continue walking, but the boy behind her didn't move.

"No," Tanjiro looked at her back calmly, with a firm tone, "Every time Ms. Higurashi cuts ghosts with the Hirinkana, her breathing doesn't change at all. People who are afraid of ghosts can't do this no matter what. of."

"Miss Higurashi, you are not afraid of ghosts at all."

"What you are afraid of..."

"What you are afraid of is only your powerless self in your consciousness."

Higurashi Shizuna stood there dumbfounded, she didn't know what to say for a while after being completely exposed.

Tanjiro didn't give her time to escape, he walked up to Shizuna, grabbed Shizuna's hand holding the knife, "Although we haven't met before, the Higurashi-san I know will come to another world alone to protect her sister, and she will also In order to save me from killing ghosts, in my heart, you have always been a very strong and gentle person."

"I... am strong?" Higurashi Shizuna repeated the boy's words.

"Yes, very strong!" Tanjiro nodded firmly, "Especially now that you have become a swordsman, you don't need to be afraid or ashamed anymore."

"Just use the knife in your hand to protect those who are like Sayuri!"

At this time, a few ghosts who smelled the human breath ran out, saw the two of them, and rushed towards them with a grinning grin.

"Come on, Miss Higurashi!" Tanjiro smiled encouragingly at her.

Higurashi Shizuna stared blankly at the long knife in her palm, her eyes gradually became firm.

"Breath of Water, Unbridled Form, Tide"

Accompanied by layers of waves, the little ghosts quickly turned to ashes.

This is the first time Shigure Shizuna has killed a ghost without Tanjirou's assistance.

"Congratulations! Miss Higurashi! You did it!" Tanjiro showed a big smile.

Jing Nai was still a little dazed, but when she came back to her senses, her mood was very complicated.She knew that the current result was thanks to Tanjirou, so she wanted to go forward and thank him.

However, he accidentally stepped on the human remains hanging from the slain ghost on the ground, slipped on the soles of his feet, and fell backwards.Just behind was the dry well abandoned by the former shrine, and Shizuna fell directly into the well.

Immediately afterwards, a white light flashed, and the whole person disappeared.

……

"Sister Jingna, sister Jingna, wake up."

Higurashi Shizuna opened her eyes, and the first thing that came into view was her younger brother Kusata's worried little face.

"Caotai? Why are you here?" Shouldn't he be killing ghosts on the mountain?

Cao Tai wiped away her tears, and said sobbingly, "Last night you quarreled with your mother, and today we found that you were not here. We thought you ran away from home. Fortunately, Xiaopang kept screaming when he smelled you."

Xiaopang is their domestic cat, and he likes to be coquettish and cute.

"Yesterday?" She obviously lived in the Taisho era for two months...

He blinked his eyes in confusion, so, those were all dreams?

Tanjiro, Nezuko... are they all fake?

Higurashi Shizuna had mixed feelings in her heart, and couldn't help but want to rub her swollen and painful temples.

However, the moment she raised her hand, she suddenly froze.

I saw a red hair rope tightly tied to my pale and thin wrist.
