Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 59--

"hey-hey…"

Yu Hu looked at Wu Mi expectantly, explaining his discovery in his heart - he didn't want others to take the credit for him.

Although this piece of information was also 'robbed' from other ghosts.

Wu Mi stared at Yuhu's bright yellow pupils, after reading the inner thoughts of the other party.

Such thoughts popped up in his mind.

... Forging knife village?
——To die?
But after he glanced at Tong Mo who was about to move around, he thought for a while, and replied slightly perfunctorily:

"...If the news is true, go with Ban Tiangou."

After finishing speaking, Wu Mi lightly waved his hand.

Dang!

Mingnu understood, she brushed the pipa with her hand, and suddenly a wooden door with light appeared under all the stringers.

"...Huh?" The wooden door under the head of the jade pot suddenly opened, revealing a room full of pots outside, and he subconsciously glanced down.

With only his head left, he fell straight down.

Yi Wozuo lowered his head, looking at the wooden door that suddenly appeared under him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help frowning anymore.

He raised his head abruptly and shouted at Wu Mi:

"Mr. Miserable!"

"Please allow me to come along—"

Don't wait for him to finish.

Creak——!
The wooden door under him was pulled open suddenly, and Yi Wozuo's body, which was just about to stand up, stepped on the air, and fell directly out of the infinite city.

Wu Mi turned sideways slightly, and glanced at the place where Yiwozuo fell.

It's useless.

All frontal attacks are futile.

Now, the only way out.

——It is the cyan flower of the other shore.

His bright red eyes gradually became firmer.

……

……

outside world.

The streets of the town.

The pale moonlight fell on the blood-stained street, and a distressed figure was slowly crawling along the street.

My name is Mizuki Nai, I am 17 years old, and I am an ordinary photo studio apprentice.

Just now, I encountered the biggest shock in my life——

"...Get out of here, get out of here." The girl holding the box tremblingly supported the glasses she found from the pile of limbs with her fingers, and slowly climbed out of the martial arts gym:
"What is that..." He mumbled to himself with a trembling mouth.

Thinking back to the "person" with pink eyelashes who punched him next to him just now.

Mizukina was frightened for a while, and subconsciously tightened the box in her arms.

In her arms is a camera temporarily borrowed from a photo studio, a relatively portable model in this era.

At this moment, she was holding her breath, her face was blue, and she kept crawling outside, resisting the desire to vomit.

As for why it is crawling - the legs are weak and I can't stand up.

At this time.

The entrance of the Budokan.

Swah——

boom!
The Yiwozuo who had disappeared just now fell down from the midair again and hit the ground hard.

Dust is everywhere.

Yiwozuo lowered his head, stared at the ground resentfully, his face was extremely gloomy, he clenched his fists involuntarily, and remained motionless.

It seemed to freeze for a while.

Behind him, Mizuki Nai who was holding the box also froze for a while.

Yiwozuo's breathing gradually became rapid, with blue veins clinging to obvious muscles:
creak...

"One of the winding...!"

"How dare you... die like this!"

"asshole!"

Yiwozuo raised his head, the moon and the engraved "two" were reflected in his staring pupils.

Just when Yiwozuo raised his head and muttered to himself angrily.

behind him.

"...!!"

The ashen-faced Mizuki Nai was so frightened that she sat paralyzed at the door of the Budokan.

Her limbs were covered with greasy blood and small pieces of body tissue, and she looked at Yiwozuo who suddenly appeared in horror.

His pupils trembled violently, but he couldn't cry out with his mouth open.

--why?
——Why did you suddenly appear, didn’t you just leave? !

Her hand holding the box-shaped camera trembled slightly. Under the moonlight, half of the glasses on her face were shattered.

——I just mustered up the courage to crawl out of that pile of corpses!

——As soon as I went out, I ran into this guy who fell from the sky!

——I, I'm just an apprentice in a photo studio!
Maybe it was fear, or maybe it was trembling.

The box camera that Ben prepared to film for the Budokan students was accidentally touched by her trembling hand.

Bloated!
With a slight sound.

I took a picture of Yiwozuo's back.

In the silent night, the swell of the camera is so clear and audible.

! !
Mizukina hugged the camera and leaned against the wall of the Budokan, her heart shattered in an instant, and her body completely froze in place.

"...Ah." The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she turned her eyes to the ground beside her with ashes, regretful:
"...It's over."

This damn camera...shouldn't have been rescued...

But fortunately.

Yiwozuo just turned his head slightly and glanced at her.

Swish!
It turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.

……

……

It was not until early the next morning that the blood-stained girl was found unconscious in front of the Budokan.

……

The next day.

early morning.

Butterfly House.

The children were not in the courtyard at the moment—they went to the nearby house of Purgatory to play together with Amroji Mitsuri, who was also full of childlike innocence, and Iguro Kohanai, who claimed to be worried about following along.

As a result, Tanjuro and Aoie had a rare two-person space, and the two were sitting together in the corridor at the moment, enjoying the tranquility of the morning.

"Tanjuro."

"Ok?"

"It's okay for us to just stay here with others all the time?" Kui Zhi turned her head, her eyes were a little worried, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart after staying for a long time:
"Although it helps, but..."

"It's okay." Tanjuro shook his head, he took Aoizhi's hand and comforted her: "We have done enough."

At this time.

The pitch-black Javen hovered in the sky, then swooped down into the courtyard:

"Karma! Zamon Tanjuro!"

Suddenly flapping its wings, the crow landed in the corridor of Butterfly House, and shouted to Tanjuro who was sitting with Aoizhi in the courtyard:

"I have your reply!"

When Aoizhi heard this, she let go of Tanjuro's hand, and she pointed at the crow:

"Quick, there are crows looking for you."

"Okay." Tanjuro smiled and nodded again and again, then turned his head to look at the crow, and stretched out his hand towards it:

"Is it a letter from Ubuyashiki?"

"Karma, that's right."

A few days ago, he did write a letter to Yoya Yashiki.

The general content of the letter is - he wants a durable sun wheel knife.

And, want a jay.

The reason for wanting a crow is simple.

——He wanted to see if he could use the paper figurine he obtained before to release ninjutsu similar to the 'fog crow'.

The crow rattled up to Tanjuro, jumped onto his hand, took the paper tied around his leg, and handed it to Tanjuro:
"Ka!"

It explains:

"At your request, from now on, I will be your crow!"

"My name is Ganghachiro! Please give me your advice!"

Tanjuro's hand that just opened the envelope stiffened slightly, he glanced at the crow, and asked again with some doubts:
"Sorry, your name is...?"

"Ganghachiro! Karma!" The crow spread its wings and answered Tanjuro: "What's the matter, Mr. Zaomen?"

"...No, it's okay." Tanjuro looked a little surprised, he stretched out his hand and stroked the crow's head familiarly with his fingers, and shook his head.

——The name he casually made up for Hei Simou was also Gang Hachiro.

After staring at the crow for a while, Tanjuro turned his attention to the letter.

"What did you write?" Kui Zhi leaned over slightly, and she looked at the contents of the envelope.

Then whispered softly:
"...invitation...to Forge Knife Village..."
