Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 17 - It's Cool

Infinite City.

The lights are still mild, and the destroyed house is slowly repairing itself.

Naruto, who was unconscious on the high platform, twitched her fingers a few times.

"...Don't you know?"

Wu Mi's tone was calm again, but it was cold and terrifying.

Hei Si Mou lowered his head and did not speak, acquiescing to Wu Mi's words.

He knew clearly that it was definitely not how the wound was caused.

No doubt about it...

——Why until now, there are still people who can cause such wounds.

Hei Si Mou—I really don’t know.

Then, Wu Mi walked slowly, he stepped on a few dark red blood footprints on the wooden floor, and the veins burst uncontrollably along the neck to the temple:

"That…"

"Your younger brother, Ji Guo Yuan Yi."

Wu Mi walked to Hei Si Mou's side, glanced at him, and stared at him with pupils like blood-colored flowers on the other side:

"It's dead, isn't it?"

Hear this.

Heishi Mou Gujing's emotionless mood could no longer be maintained, he was slightly taken aback, and then the memories in his mind couldn't stop churning.

creak...

He tightly clutched his black saddle, his six eyes fixed on the floor in front of him, and the flesh and blood around his waist began to twist ferociously.

After a short while, he was just like before, with a calm tone, but faintly impatient to answer:

"died."

"...aged to 81, dead."

Wu Mi seemed to have expected Heishimou's answer, he nodded slightly, supported his severed right hand, and continued to walk behind Heishimou.

Suddenly, he turned his head, and there was no change in his tone, as if he was specially trying to provoke Hei Si Mou:

"Then if I tell you."

"Jiguo Yuanyi is not dead yet."

"He's alive and well."

He walked slowly towards Heishimu, and finally stopped right behind him. A voice came from above Heishimu's head:
"What do you think?"

"..."

Hei Si Mou was silent for a moment, and he answered his inner thoughts when he saw the old Yuan 300 years ago:

"Subordinates..."

He choked for a moment.

"…unbelievable."

Hei Si Mou calmed down his heart, subconsciously wanted to answer as usual, but suddenly remembered the embarrassing injuries on Wu Mi's hands and body.

That kind of wound is different from the wound I had when I turned into a ghost 300 years ago when I realized that Wu Mi was chopped off by Yuan with only one head left.

— exactly the same.

--Could it be that…

Immediately, I became a little excited again.

His mind was full of thoughts.

"...The subordinate cut his body in half with his own hands."

Hei Si Mou's breathing was slightly rapid.

If the second of the strings is here, it will definitely be ridiculed, as calm as Hei Simou, and there are times when he is so flustered.

"In that case, you can still survive..." After Hei Si Mou finished speaking, he fell silent and stopped talking.

The implication after that is self-evident.

Wu Mi's attitude towards Hei Si Mou seems to be much more tolerant than other ghosts.

If other ghosts said such negative words, they would definitely be whipped by Wu Mi.

"Don't you believe it?" Wuyou waved her still intact left hand casually, and the comatose Naruto on the high platform woke up.

"That's fine."

He walked deeper into the Infinite City, his tone filled with impatience and hidden extreme anger:
"Go and see for yourself."

After hearing Wu Mi's words, Hei Si Mou immediately raised his head, his six eyes slightly startled.

When he was about to turn around, he said something to Wu Mi's back:
"Mr. Miserable!"

"Dang!"

With a crisp pipa sound, it echoed in the infinite city.

【Changing Part [-]】The figure of Hei Si Mou disappeared without a trace.

He didn't even have time to say the last half of the sentence.

Naruto, who was sitting on the high platform, held up the hand that had just struck the strings, trembling slightly.

……

……

the other side.

outside world.

The wind and snow were dissipated by the sun, and the snow on the top of the mountain melted slowly, turning into water flowing down the mountain stream.

mountain top.

Kitchen door home.

"Be careful, Tanjirou." Goto sat in front of Tanjirou, with his back to him.

Chongyi helped Tanjiro up, and the two were about to carry Tanjiro on their backs, and moved their positions first.

After being attacked by a ghost, if you fail to kill the ghost, there is a high possibility that the ghost will attack again on the second night.

It is impossible for Tomioka Yoshiyuki to stay here all night, he must go to other places to perform tasks.

Therefore, they had to move Tanjiro and Tanjuro to a safe place before dark.

"Hey." Goto picked up Tanjirou on his back, and he stood up, stabilizing his center of gravity - he was very good at this kind of thing.

Turning his head, Goto looked at Tanjuro and Mitsuichi.

Chong Yi cut it in a low voice:
"whispering sound!"

He curled his lips, approaching Tanjuro with a face full of reluctance.

Chongichi walked up to Tanjuro, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, closed his eyes, and yelled at Tanjuro:
"bring it on!!"

He closed his eyes and opened his hands to Tanjuro:

"I'll carry you!"

Tanjuro looked at the appearance of Mitsuichi facing him, he shook his head slightly, then stood up slowly:

"No need." His tone was calm, as if he had done a trivial thing, he nodded to Chong:

"I can probably go by myself."

But this understatement, like a hammer blow, hit Chong Yi's heart.

"Ah..." Chong Yi stared blankly at the way Tanjuro skipped him and walked directly over, he froze on the spot and didn't move for a long time.

"what……"

……

at the same time.

Outside.

creak...

Tanjuro pushed open the door, turned sideways, and let Goto walk out with the sleeping Tanjiro on his back.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka, at this time, was holding his own Japanese sword, with his arms crossed, leaning against the room, his eyes cold.

After seeing Tanjuro walk out the door.

"Kaomen Tanjuro."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki turned around bluntly and called the other party:
"how?"

Tanjuro was stunned for a moment, he turned his head, looked up and down the posture of Yoshiyuki Tomioka, he was a little confused.

——?
Tanjuro couldn't figure out this sentence without a preface.

But after seeing the other party staring straight at him, Kamado Tanjuro hesitated and looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki:
"... cool."

"...?"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka didn't seem to expect such an answer, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

——This is probably an expression of approval.

After thinking this way, he nodded to Kamado Tanjuro:
"That's good."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka tied the Japanese sword around his waist. He turned his head and looked at Tanjuro, with no fluctuations in his tone:

"The mission location this time is in the snowy mountains in the north."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki said, and let his crow fly, ready to let the crow lead the way:
"It's not too late."

He turned his head and motioned for Tanjuro to follow.

"...What do you mean?" Tanjuro frowned, he found that chatting with Tomioka Yoshiyuki was not as easy as he imagined.

"The mission of the Demon Slayer Squad." Tomioka Yoshiyuki replied blankly:

"As a member of the ghost killing team, you should complete the task with me."

Tanjuro frowned slightly, his tone was a bit puzzled, even a quiet person like him couldn't help asking Tomioka Yoshiyuki:
"…I?"

"Yeah." Tomioka Yoshiyuki nodded.

"Player?"

"Ah."

"When?"

"Just now."

"...how did you say it?"

"Cool."
