Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 90 - Tomioka Yoshiyuki's Business Trip and Ninjas

On the side of Beiming Island and Tanjuro,
Tanjuro raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself:

"...Let me teach the pillar?"

"En." Bei Mingyu nodded.

Before opening the transparent world, he had practiced the "transparent eye" that can see through people's hearts.

For example——When Tomioka Yoshiyuki chats with Butterfly Shinobu, both of them will look happier.

Before Immortal Kawa Minya, when talking with Butterfly Kanae, she would also become a lot more cramped.

Recently, Iguro Hanai has also gotten very close to Kyojuro's stepson.

But the other pillars were not aware of this.

Not only that, Beiming Island also found many characteristics from other pillars.

And Tanjuro——

After the previous contact with the present, Beiming Island found out.

The other party seems to be a person who is not willing to show his strength on purpose.

During the Zhuhe meeting, if Bushikawa hadn't taken the initiative to fight, I am afraid that Mr. Tanjuro would not have fought against him.

So... if you want him to teach the pillars.

I can only offer it myself.

……

……

at the same time.

the other side.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki's mission location.

Somewhere town.

"Karma! Karma!!"

Dark crows hovered overhead.

The people on the street looked at this side with strange eyes, and deliberately walked around it, as if they saw some ghost.

"Woooooooo..."

Mizukina was holding her box camera and was standing on the side of the street, the blood on her face had already been washed off.

But everything she saw that night created an indelible shadow in her heart, which could not be washed away no matter what.

The people in the town, because everyone in the Budokan died and only she survived, wondered whether the culprit was related to her.

Some radicals even directly identified her as the murderer.

After that, the owner of the photo studio was also reluctant to let her stay as an apprentice because of the gossip in the town.

However, she was given this camera as compensation.

If it weren't for Mizukina's big heart that can withstand fright, she might have chosen to throw herself into the river long ago.

Shortly after.

Mizuki Nai met the one in front of her, Tomioka Yoshiyuki who claimed to be from the Demon Killing Team, and said that he could solve her troubles.

in front of her.

The expressionless Tomioka Yoshiyuki was pinching a black and white blurry photo and looking down.

After reading it several times, he raised his head and said to Mizuki:

"Is this the only one?"

heard.

Mizukina, who was crying, stopped abruptly.

She put down her hand wiping her tears in a daze, and looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly:

"What... what do you mean?"

——She almost died!
Seeing Mizukina's surprised face.

What Tanjuro said to him before, "You are often hated by others" appeared in Tomioka Yoshiyuki's mind.

Although he didn't know why, he probably realized that he had said something wrong.

and so.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki chose not to speak anymore, and continued to lower his head and study the photos in his hand.

on the photo.

Only a blurred figure.

It seems that the appropriate parameters, light source, and position have not been adjusted properly - resulting in extremely blurry photos.

Even the angles are oblique.

I could barely see that it was night, with the moon, and a figure beneath it.

And the very obvious tattoos on the arms, and the appearance of wearing Buddhist beads on the ankles.

Other than that, no information was available.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka's heart is gloomy - the appearance of a ghost, this kind of information is almost useless.

That's right, as a member of the ghost killing team, the task is not just to kill ghosts.

Sometimes, you have to start by looking for clues of ghosts.

And at this stage, it is necessary to talk with various people, understand, and even further investigate.

And Tomioka is brave and not good at words.

In the last mission (see the official Tomioka Giyong Gaiden for details), if Die Die was not there, he would probably be arrested at the step of talking with others.

half an hour.

Mizukina stared blankly at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, and a thought suddenly rose in her heart that this person was unreliable.

thinking.

pat.

She lowered her eyes, her expression was full of uncontrollable loss and frustration:

"Sure enough, forget it, the police can't find the murderer..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, pinched the photo and was about to withdraw it.

But after two hard twitches, it failed.

"Huh?" Mizukina raised her head and looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka in surprise.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka stood quietly, took the photo from Mizuki Nai's hand, put it in his lapel, and said:

"I probably know what happened."

Raising his hand, letting the crow in the sky land on his arm, he nodded to Mizukina:
"plz follow me."

After finishing speaking, Tomioka Yoshiyuki turned his head and left.

In his opinion, the ghost didn't kill Mizuki Nai, and there would be a possibility of coming back after that.

With almost no clues, protect her for a while before making plans.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka died.

Stretching out her hand, Mizuki Nai held it empty-handedly, staring blankly at Tomioka Yoshiyuki's back as he walked further and further away.

Standing in place sluggishly.

Then, realizing that the photo had been taken by Tomioka Yoshiyuki, she hurriedly shouted and chased after him:

"Hey!!"

"Wait for me!"

At the same time, he cried out in frustration.

——Why do these things happen to me!

Mizukina ran along the side of the street.

on the wall.

It is sticking and some have been torn off, but there is still remnant of paper.

On the remaining paper, the words "offering a reward" could be seen intermittently.

It's not the Edo era anymore, so the papers that put up rewards for others in such an open manner were probably torn away by the passing police.

"Ka!!"

The crow detached from Tomioka Giyuu's arm, and he flew into the sky, overlooking the entire town.

……

soon.

into the night.

In the town, somewhere on the roof of a house.

pat.

Gently standing on tiptoe, the almost silent figure landed on the tiled roof.

The visitor squatted slightly on the roof. He leaned over and leaned his ears against the tiles, listening to the sounds in the house.

Subsequently.

He took out the paper from his waist, spread it out, and glanced at the portrait and various written messages on it.

Obviously, he tore up the reward order during the day.

The thick iron plate on his forehead reflected pale light in the moonlight, and his plum red eyes were emotionless.

It can be seen from his appearance that he is around eighteen years old.

...and here it is.

Lowering your head, the tiles in front of you also have memories left by others.

Put away the paper.

He took out a sharp kunai from behind.

Gently pried off the tiles that had been prepared long ago.

Under the tiles is the interior of the house where light leaks out. This part of the roof has been cut off by others long ago.

Kunai, dressed neatly, moved silently.

Yes, he is a ninja.

It is a ninja who has survived in the ninja family that has continued to this day when almost all ninjas disappeared in the Edo period.

His name is Yusui Tianhong.

He is the younger brother of Yinzhu Yusui Tianyuan in the Demon Slayer Team.
