The next morning, Tanjiro smiled and said, " Feiye, let's go."
After a brief rest at the choyashiki, Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Hijou Feiye set out on their journey to the town in the northwest. The town has recently experienced unusually frequent demon activity, resulting in the loss of many innocent lives.
"Besides completing the mission, I also have an important purpose," Hijou Feiye suddenly spoke as they continued on their journey.
"Oh? What purpose?" Tanjiro asked curiously.
"I plan to develop a serum. As long as we can obtain the blood of a demon, especially blood close to that of the Demon King, we may have the possibility of turning demons back into humans. In doing so, not only can we reduce casualties, but we can also pave the way for finding a method to restore Nezuko to her human form," Hijou Feiye explained seriously.
Tanjiro After listening, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Really? If it can really be achieved, then it is undoubtedly good news for Nezuko!"
"In that case, we need to proceed with this mission even more carefully. Not only do we need to eliminate demons, but we also need to try to preserve some blood samples," said Hijou Feiye.
This is her plan. Now that the Ghost King has been born, saving one more person is better than nothing. Since Tamayo can do it, she can do it too!
The place they are going to this time is called the Town of the Northwest. The crow on Tanjiro's shoulder said that there are girls disappearing every night there.
A few days later, the three finally arrived at the town in the northwest. As soon as they entered the town, they could feel a sense of oppression and everyone seemed to be on edge. Even though it was daytime, the residents on the street all had furrowed brows, whispering and discussing something in low voices.
"The atmosphere here is really unsettling." Tanjiro tightly gripped the Sun Wheel Sword in his hand, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Before long, they saw a dejected, absent-minded man walking by. He staggered, his face devoid of color, as if he had lost the purpose of life.
Nearby residents are also whispering: "Mr. Hee, look at him, he looks so pitiful. Ever since his fiancée Satoko was kidnapped, he's become like this."
"There's no way around it, every night here, young girls are being kidnapped. It's really unsettling," another resident joined in the discussion.
Tanjiro After hearing the conversation, without any hesitation, immediately ran towards the exhausted man and shouted, "Mr. Hee!"
The man looked up in surprise at Tanjiro, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but more of despair.
"We are both members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro. I'd like to ask you about what's been happening here, if that's okay," Tanjiro asked, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible.
Mr. Hee hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "If you can really do something for the people in this town, then go ahead and ask."
"Satoko, where did she disappear to, what happened?" Tanjiro asked with concern.
Mr. Hee led Tanjiro and Hijou Feiye to the location where Satoko disappeared, saying, "When we turned the corner of this alley, Satoko was walking slower. When we all turned onto another street together, I looked back and she was gone."
"I might not believe what I'm about to say."
"I believe you," Tanjiro responded.
"I also believe everything you said." Hijou Feiye added.
"Thank you for being willing to believe me." Mr. Hee nodded.
Tanjiro began to crawl on the ground, sniffing, thinking to himself, "There's a demon's scent here, it must be this place."
Seeing Tanjiro doing this, Mr. Hee couldn't help but think, "What is this guy doing?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Hee. He can smell the scent of ghosts and will definitely be able to find the ghosts here," Hijou Feiye reassured.
Tanjiro stood up and said seriously, "It looks like we'll have to wait until nightfall for that demon to appear again."
Hijou Feiye's eyes flashed with excitement, thinking, "This is so thrilling. I used to only see these kinds of scenes in manga, but now I'm experiencing it firsthand. I just hope that demon won't be too scary."
Mr. Hee asked nervously, "So, what should we do next?"
Tanjiro replied seriously, "First, we need to find a suitable place to hide, then closely monitor the surroundings. I will also use my sense of smell to track the demon's whereabouts."
"Okay, let's do it this way then," Mr. Hee nodded, although he was still filled with unease, he knew it was the only way.
As the sun gradually set, darkness began to envelop the surroundings. Tanjiro, Hijou Feiye, and Mr. Hee hid in a secluded corner. The town was especially quiet at night, with people fearing becoming targets and disappearing, leaving only the distant sound of the shrine bell.
"Hey, what do you guys think? Doesn't it feel like we're in a movie?" Hijou Feiye suddenly spoke, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
Tanjiro smiled and responded, "If this were a movie, it would be too thrilling."
Mr. Hee was also amused and said, "But don't forget, this is reality. We can't take it lightly."
The three of them returned to a serious state, their eyes fixed on everything around them, waiting for the drama about to unfold in the night. Suddenly, Tanjiro's nose twitched, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
"Get ready, it's appearing," he warned in a low voice.
A cold wind blew through, and Hijou Feiye felt a chill running up their spines.
At this moment, she felt that she was indeed in this dangerous and unknown Taisho Era, facing a real demon enemy with Tanjiro and Mr. Hee.
This is not a manga, this is reality, where every decision could be a matter of life and death.
At that moment, Tanjiro immediately drew his Nichirin sword from his waist, Mr. Hee nervously gripped his own weapon, while Hijou Feiye took a deep breath, preparing to use her special "Breath of Light."
"It's in that direction," Tanjiro gritted his teeth and ran, instantly disappearing into the darkness.
Tanjiro stopped at a corner of the street, tightly gripping his Nichirin sword. "Here, the scent of demons is the strongest!" He forcefully plunged the Nichirin sword into the ground.
The ground suddenly turned into a small swamp, from which emerged a seemingly sixteen-year-old girl. Tanjiro immediately picked her up and turned to leave. Almost simultaneously, a terrifying demon with long horns on its head appeared from behind the swamp.
Tanjiro quickly threw the girl to Mr. Hee and shouted, "Catch!" Then, he immediately drew his sword to confront the demon.
The demon's attack is extremely fierce, and despite Tanjiro's efforts to block it, he clearly feels the pressure increasing. To make matters worse, two other demons join the battle at this time.
Tanjiro knows the situation is dire, and just as he is about to use a move from "Breath of Water," a suddenly appearing figure swiftly kicks away the demon's attack.
It's Nezuko.
She jumped out from the wooden box behind, with a serious look on her face, emitting an unusual atmosphere all over her body.
"Why do you, a human, still have a ghost with you? It's so strange," said the second ghost.
"None of your damn business." Tanjiro tightly gripped the hilt of his Nichirin Blade, feeling even more alert at the provocation.
Nezuko stood by Tanjiro's side, her eyes narrowed as if she was ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"Hmph, no matter what, you are all my food!" The second demon suddenly charged towards Tanjiro and Nezuko.
At that moment, Hijou Feiye decided to take action. She took a deep breath and began to use the special "Breath of Light." A brilliant beam of light shot out from her palm, directly striking the second demon.
The demon was hit by the beam of light, roaring in pain, and its speed noticeably slowed down.
Tanjiro immediately released "Breath of Water: First Form - Surface Slash" upon seeing this, and a blue water-formed blade of light instantly slashed towards the second demon.
"What is that?!" The second demon exclaimed in terror, but before it could react, it was struck by Tanjiro's attack and cut down with a single sword strike.
Mr. Hee Holding the young girl tightly, he moved away from the battlefield and trembled, saying, "So ghosts really do exist..."
"You skinny little boy, don't get in our way! This girl's 16-year-old flesh is at its best. If we don't eat it quickly, the taste will be greatly diminished!" the first ghost taunted.
"Hmph, stop making a fuss. I've already eaten many 16-year-old girls in this town. Each one was extremely delicious, and I am very satisfied personally," the second ghost added.
"I'm not satisfied yet, I want to eat more!" the first ghost responded discontentedly.
"You three monsters, return Satoko to me immediately, whom you kidnapped the night before last!" Mr. Hee shouted angrily.
The three ghosts laughed together.
"Satoko? Which one are you referring to?" The second ghost opened the left side of its robe, revealing its "collection" inside. "If her hairpin is in here, it means I've already eaten her."
Mr. Hee burst into tears upon seeing Satoko's red hairband.
Tanjiro, Hijou, and Feiye were all very angry when they saw this scene.
Tanjiro recalled that all of his family members, except for Nezuko, were killed by demons.
Hijou Feiye feel that these ghosts are not only terrifying, but also repulsive. She took a deep breath, gathered all her strength, and began to unleash her unique "Breath of Light."
A dazzling beam of light shot out from her palm, directly hitting one of the ghosts. The ghost let out a miserable scream, and its body turned to ashes in the light.
Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, Tanjiro swiftly swung his sword and successfully eliminated another demon.
Nezuko also showed no weakness, using her astonishing strength and speed to kick the last demon flying.
Tanjiro quickly used the Sun Breathing technique to deliver the final blow to the demon, finally resolving this crisis.
Tanjiro sheathed his sword, looking tired but satisfied, and said to Hijou Feiye and Nezuko: "Thank you very much. Without you, we might not have been able to deal with these demons."
Hijou Feiye smiled and replied: "We are teammates. This is what we should do."
Mr. Hee also put down the big stone in his heart, although still trembling a little, but he is safe now.
