In the middle of the field, after the young ghost's head was thrown out, the spider silk extending from his fingers also dissipated, and the beans fell from the air.

Tanjiro also fell to the ground due to the exhaustion of his physical strength and the sequelae of the sudden change of breathing method, and he gasped rapidly, and the thick smell of blood spread in his mouth.

In desperation, he used the Kagura dance that his father had taught him when he was a child, as he saw in the marquee of death.

Although he doesn't know why Kagura Mai was able to transform into sword skills, he managed to defeat this unprecedented enemy and recapture his sister-

The moment such a thought was born, a smell of blood and anger penetrated his nose like pervasive mercury, causing his body to stiffen instantly.

"It's so ......! Do you think you've beaten me? Just now my neck was not cut off by you, but I cut it with my own silk thread! ”

The young ghost's severed body rose from the ground, and its head hung by spider silk rested back on its neck.

Unlike the attitude of being more than able to care before, he almost had his head cut off, and a visible anger appeared on his face, and his eyes unleashed a piercing killing intent at Tanjiro.

"And the flame just now, too, why was I the only one who was attacked, but you didn't have anything, is your sister deliberately distinguishing the difference between me and you? Ahh It really makes me unhappy! I've decided, I'm going to kill you two brothers and sisters here, no need for fetters or anything! ”

The young ghost seemed to be annoyed for some reason, and he gathered the spider silk extending from his five fingers into the palm of his hand, condensing into a cocoon of spider silk that swirled like a whirlpool and was as smooth as a jade disk.

"Blood Demon Magic: Engraved Thread Rotation!"

The other party whispered like this, and launched the cocoon in his hand towards Tanjiro, who was trying to regain his spirits on the ground.

With all his strength exhausted, his body full of injuries, and his cardiopulmonary function severely affected, Tanjiro has lost all possibility of resistance, and as long as this blow falls on him, his body will be torn apart without hindrance.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a roar like a thunderbolt on a sunny day resounded in the dense forest.

This was followed by several lightning slashes that intersected like dragons and splattered from the forest, cutting away the cocoons of the spider silk in an instant with a devastating momentum like shredding paper.

"What——!?"

Before the young ghost could react to what had happened, he was hit by the aftermath of the slash, and his body was torn into five or six pieces like a piece of cloth and fell to the ground.

"Sand—"

"Sand—"

The sound of footsteps on the upper of the shoe on the dirt belatedly reached the ears of Tanjiro, Youdouko, and the young ghost on the ground.

Under the moonlight, the figure of a young man in his early teens stepped out of the dense shadowed forest, revealing his appearance to Tanjiro's eyes.

“…… Ryuxia-chan? ”

Tanjiro's face looked shocked, he really didn't expect that Ryuxia, who had just saved their brother and sister's life ten days ago, would actually appear in Spider Mountain again and save his life from the hands of the Twelve Ghost Moons.

"Damn! What people! ”

The young ghost glued his body back together with silk threads, and his face was slightly distorted with visible anger on his face.

Because he was not directly slashed by the sword, but was hit by a thunderbolt-like sword qi slash, he was not sealed with a recovery force, and the young ghost was able to reassemble his body and stand in front of Ryuxia again.

"I'm the Twelve Ghost Moons! What are you counting one by one————

The next moment, before he could finish his words, a sword light as swift as thunder and lightning and as smooth as the surface of the water flashed through the forest.

Before the young ghost could come back to his senses, his vision suddenly swirled, and then from his body and head came a pain like being burned by the sun.

Not even a sword skill, just a random sword, as the twelve ghost moons, he was cut off without any resistance.

Looks exactly like the spider ghost who was killed by Ryuxia before, and the identity of the twelve ghost moons is almost the same as that of a weak alien ghost, and there is no value left at all.

Ryuxia didn't even pull out the second knife, and returned it to its sheath.

The young ghost with only the body left in front of him, I don't know what kind of thoughts he had, he swayed and tried to walk in the direction of Tanjiro and Youdouko, but after taking two steps, his legs had disappeared, and he could only lie on the ground and crawl in the direction of Tanjiro.

Ryuxia's eyes glanced at the body crawling on the ground, then at the half-vanished head on the side, and put her hand on the hilt of the knife again.

"Wait... Wait a minute, Ryuka-chan! ”

As if he saw Ryuxia's intention to draw a knife and destroy the corpse, Tanjiro, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly said, "That kid has no malice...... I could smell sadness in him. ”

Tanjiro has a keen sense of smell that can smell the emotions of the other person, although Ryuxia feels that this is actually beyond the level of smell, which can be regarded as an ability.

He smelled sadness from this ghost's body, so he interrupted Ryuxia's movements, and even took the initiative to stretch out his hand towards the body of the young ghost, which had begun to dissipate.

What should this behavior be called?

Is it gentle?

Ryuxia looked at Tanjiro like an eldest brother, half-hugging the body of your bean and the young ghost, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you sympathetic to the ghost?" What is the need for this behavior? ”

"Oni were also human beings when they were alive."

Tanjiro looked at the dissipating body of the young ghost with very gentle eyes, "Of course I know that oni are the enemies of humans, and I won't be soft in the face of demons, but oni were once humans, and they also have a human past, and they also have the bitterness of having to become ghosts, so I won't insult them." ”

It's not that Ryuxia hasn't seen someone with a gentle personality.

But so far, Tanjiro is the gentlest of all the people he's seen.

But it still doesn't make sense.

Ryusha understood Tanjiro's intentions and did not agree with Tanjiro's actions in his heart, but he did not intend to deny it either.

Human life is inherently hovering between meaningful and meaningless, and it is impossible for people to pursue meaningful things all the time, and Ryusha understands this, so he never demands others.

"Whatever you want."

Ryusha didn't comment on his thoughts in the end, allowing him to exude his gentle personality.

But the next moment, another uninvited guest arrived here with a light and swift body, and stabbed the poisonous sword in his hand mercilessly at the bean in Tanjiro's arms on the ground.
