After receiving the news from Shinichi Sase, Genichiro immediately went to the Phantom Gallery to find Butterfly Shinobu and took her to Kitanoyaku.

Aside from the fact that she knew more about the Tanjiro brothers and sisters through her dreams, she was also the only one of the pillars who could see the transparent world for a short time, with the exception of Sorrow and Mingyu, who could briefly see through the world - which may have something to do with the ability to see through that allowed her to focus more on her senses than on her thoughts more than anyone else.

However, maybe it's because Butterfly Shinobu is working a little "too hard", so that after his own realm is stuck in that entry place, there is no progress at all.

At this time, it may be beneficial for Genichiro to take her out to get rid of the hard and tight battle a little. Sometimes, taking some time to review and summarize is more effective than blindly fighting to the death.

In this regard, the mourning Mingyu Xingming, who likes to chant scriptures, has done a good job, from the beginning when he had no way to take the Yi Wo Seat, to now he can fight back and forth with the Yi Wo Seat, and the progress is obvious to all, but he never fights against the Yi Wo Seat for no more than an hour every day. In addition, he is also the only one of the pillars who has passed the "assessment" of the Zodiac Seat, and is now actively teaching others his experience of mastering the world.

However, because he was blind and liked to use parables in the scriptures to explain, except for the more knowledgeable butterfly Chana, the other illiterates could hardly learn anything from him.

Then again.

On the way to Kitanoyado Station.

At first, Butterfly Shinobu was still a little resentful of Ichiro interrupting her training, but as soon as she heard that she had found the Kamato brothers and sisters, she immediately had some anticipation.

Although the memories in the dream were not her own experience, they were so real that she even remembered every word she had ever said (which was very useful when developing medicine with Zhu Shi, and even won Yushiro's admiration). She remembered the indiscriminate and decisive killing intent when she first saw your beans, and she also remembered the conversation between Tanjiro and her on the roof at night—

It was a strong, kind, and gentle child, and even if he didn't have great strength, just by seeing that face, he could draw healing power like sunshine from him, and it was hard to forget.

However, as soon as Tanjiro Kamado was mentioned, Butterfly Shinobu suddenly remembered another thing.

It's the mushroom-headed light bulb kid who suddenly pops up from time to time and looks at her like a dementia (her sister looks at her sister when she is there) when she gets along with Kuro.

"Genichiro, in my dreams, the child called my wife Zenyi seems to be Tanjiro's best friend."

And in a way, that guy is still a little disgusting (Tanjiro's exact words).

Ichiro was silent, he fused the memories of Kyojuro in Purgatory, and naturally knew this.

On the train where Kyojuro died, the kid also showed good strength, and he was also the heir to Thunder's Breath.

Although the color of the hair is slightly different, the name, the timid personality and the excessive interest in the opposite sex are definitely my wife Seon-yi herself.

This also explains why that kid contributed more reputation than ordinary pillars.

If I hadn't come to this world inexplicably, my wife Shanyi would have played a more important role.

"Now that their fate has been changed, don't take them on another difficult track."

Ichiro said in a deep voice, "Whether it's my wife Zenyi or Tanjiro Kamado, they don't have to live as hard as they did in your dreams. ”

"I went to Tanjiro Kamado this time, and it was just for the breath of the sun and the markings, and it would be great if I could let them move......"

He turned his head and looked at Shinobu seriously, "But if you want to drag them into a war with demons, I won't approve of it." So, don't do superfluous things. ”

The implication is to ask Butterfly Shinobu not to reveal too much about "fate" and the like to these ordinary people.

Butterfly was stunned, she didn't expect such words to come from the mouth of Ichiro.

I don't know if it's her delusion, or if there is something different in Genichiro.

Next, the two of them didn't say a word all the way, and headed full speed towards the Ghost Slayer office at Kitanojuku Station.

Ever since the Ghost Slayer Team appeared in front of the world in the open, offices of the Slayer Squads have appeared in various places.

In a big city like Tokyo, there is an office of a ghost slayer team almost every few blocks, and in mountain villages, one is assigned to every few villages.

The person in charge of the office is either a low-level team member like Murata who is not very strong, or an ordinary person who has received help from the ghost killing team.

Their duties are simple, but they are also hard.

The ghost slayer team does not need them to pick up the Nihon Knife to kill the ghosts themselves, but they are required to sit patiently 24 hours a day and wait for reports of suspected ghosts, and then send these reports to the nearest large contact point via telegram or crow, which will arrange for personnel to investigate according to the credibility of the reports.

Although people often mistake thieves, bobcats, or black bears for ghosts (and some even deliberately falsely accuse their neighbors of being ghosts), there is a 1 in 10 chance that these reports will lead the ghost slayer investigating the incident to the real ghost.

This may not seem like a trivial number, but it is many times more efficient than the investigation method of the past, which was simply chased by crows - at least there will never be the kind of thing that kills a small half of the village before the news appears in the newspaper.

The Kitanoyaku Station is the only office of the Demon Slayer in the four surrounding villages and towns.

When Ichiro and Shinobu stepped into the threshold, the head of the office, Shinichi Sase, and the Tanjiro siblings all turned their heads in unison.

"Wormpillar-sama ......"

The person in charge of the office was just about to speak, but Butterfly Shinobu had already dodged in front of the two siblings and hugged them left and right, "Great." ”

The memories in the dream and the two immature faces in front of her gradually overlapped, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, but it also made the Tanjiro brothers and sisters a little confused.

Tanjiro is now eleven years old, but he is two heads shorter than Genichiro, and his burgundy eyes are as full of the tenacity of a poor family as he remembers, and the characteristic tenderness of a child who grows up in happiness. The only difference is that at this moment, there is no pain and self-blame for losing a family and seeing my sister become a demon in these clear eyes.

And You Douzi looks small, quiet and shy, eating the snack that Shinichi Sase gave her, looking a little embarrassed. But judging from her outstanding appearance, it's really hard to believe this girl who sells charcoal. After all, ordinary poor families engaged in manual labor always treat the girls in the family very harshly, and it is rare to see them so clean and tidy.

"No matter what others think......"

Butterfly Shinobu said to herself firmly: "I will never allow such a tragedy to happen to these two lovely children." ”

On the other side, Genichiro interrupted Shinichi Sase's salute with a wave of his hand, carefully examining the appearance of the two siblings.

Tanjiro, in particular, had a faint scar on his head instead of the red marking-like pattern he remembered.

[Is this innate?] 】

With doubts in his heart, Shinichiro opened the transparent world and carefully scanned Tanjiro's body, and then frowned slightly.

[It is stronger than the body of the average peer, but it should be exercised by perennial labor, and there seems to be nothing else special.] 】

[More importantly, judging from the width of the blood vessels and the breathing rate, there is no trace of practicing the breathing method. 】

[It seems...... This time, I'm afraid it's not him, but his father, who can quietly catch the chaos. 】

Thinking of this, Genichiro withdrew from his state of concentration and returned to his normal vision, only to find that Tanjiro's eyes were looking at him intently and in surprise.

"It's like ...... with my father This guy just ......"

Tanjiro thought to himself, "It's as if it suddenly doesn't exist." ”

When his father meditates on the distance, or at the critical moment of charcoal burning, it will give him such an unreal feeling.

I didn't expect to experience such a feeling again in a stranger who looked young, which made Tanjiro very curious.

However, the next moment, his attention was diverted by Butterfly Shinobi, especially when people's tears were dripping on your shoulders, it was really hard not to care.

What a beautiful sister. Sweeping over Shinobu's face, Tanjiro had such a thought in his heart, but it was immediately replaced by an inexplicable pride.

But when you grow up, you must be more beautiful than her.

"Do we know this young lady of the Ghost Slayer Squad?"

The kindness shown to them by Butterfly Shinobi, judging by their behavior and smell, far exceeded that of a stranger.

It's as if this big sister who has never met is already familiar with them.

However, Tanjiro dared to guarantee that he had never smelled such a strong smell of wisteria flowers, otherwise he would never have forgotten it.

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

Butterfly Shinobu took two steps back, gently pinched your bean's face and smiled reluctantly, "You are very similar to my two friends, please forgive me for seeing things and thinking about people for a while." ”

You bean blinked inexplicably, and Tanjiro sniffled slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"She's lying, but she's not completely lying, and she's full of kindness to us, just like mother......"

This is the first time he has seen such a situation.

On the other side, as soon as Sase Shin saw that Butterfly Shinobu seemed to have finished venting his emotions, he stepped forward and said, "Tanjiro, and your bean, let me introduce you two, this is Lord Reina Genichiro, and this is the Insect Pillar Butterfly Shinobi of the Ghost Slayer Team." ”

"Worm...... Post? ”

Tanjiro couldn't quite understand the meaning of these two words, and it sounded like grasshoppers strung together.

Obviously, ordinary people don't know the internal rules of the Ghost Slayer Squad, and they don't understand the meaning of the "pillar".

Seeing that he was a little puzzled, the junior team member in charge of the office over there proudly explained: "The so-called pillar is the strongest swordsman of the Ghost Slayer Team!" And Ninja-sama is also the youngest pillar in the history of the Ghost Slayer (15 years old, Shitou Muichiro has not yet appeared). ”

"Is that so?"

Tanjiro didn't know what to expect, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for this strange woman in his heart.

But as soon as he reacted, his face suddenly froze, "Could it be that the monster that my father caught yesterday is so dangerous?" ”

Otherwise, the Ghost Slayer Team wouldn't have sent any of the strongest swordsmen over, and the efficiency was so fast!

He was obviously ready to wait until the afternoon, but before the person had finished eating a snack for his sister, someone had already come!

Hearing him say this, Youdouzi also fidgeted a little, "Then let's go back quickly, Dad locked that monster in the cellar, and there is no sun there......"

"No, you're too worried, that's not why she's here."

Ichiro smiled a little helplessly.

"And I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this."

"Misunderstanding?" Tanjiro repeated.

"Well, first of all, the thing that your father caught was not a ghost, but a person with a somewhat deformed body."

Presumably, Tanjiro's father was not sure about this, so he locked up the Ranbo people instead of tying them to a tree and waiting for the sun to shine.

"Huh?!"

"That guy is our Ninja Ashina. During this time, he has been searching for your family in the mountains, but he didn't expect to be arrested as a monster because of his appearance. However, this does prove that we are not looking for the wrong person, after all, ordinary people can't subdue a ninja. ”

Koichiro's last sentence was obviously a bit tentative.

"Shinobi, ninja?"

The Zaomen brothers and sisters looked even more confused.

After confirming that the two people in front of him had only kindness to him, Tanjiro Kamado said, "May I ask, why are you searching for our family?" We're just ordinary charcoal burners, and we've never had any contact with ghosts. As for the father of the house, he will catch your ...... Ninja, should it just be a coincidence? ”

"Ah, is that so? Then I'll just get straight to it. ”

Could it be that the father of these two children is hiding his strength?

Ichiro said with a slight smile: "Tanjiro and your beans, do you have any impression of the word 'breath of the sun'?" ”

Tanjiro repeated a few words, exchanged a look with his sister, and then both shook their heads at the same time.

"Not at all."

"Hmmm......"

Ichiro carefully recalled the memories of Kyojuro in Purgatory, so he changed his term and asked, "So, what about Kagura, the god of fire?" ”

It was on that train that Tanjiro Kamado asked Kyojuro about Purgatory

Since there is a "god" in this noun, it is still the same "fire god" as the Forging Sword Village, and it will inevitably be associated with the initial swordsman called Jiguo Yuanyi.

Sure enough, hearing this word, the eyes of the two brothers and sisters lit up in unison.

"Kagura, the god of fire, is a dance that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Kamato family. It is also used to celebrate the New Year and worship the god of fire. Dad would jump up all night every year on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Then, Tanjiro said with some emotion, "I thought that except for a few people in the town, no one would know the name of Kagura, the god of fire. ”

"But today, you're the second person to ask me that question."

"The second?"

Ichiro raised his head in surprise and glanced at Butterfly Shinobi, "So who is the first person?" ”

"It's a businessman from Tokyo."

You replied, "You're a guest at my house right now." ”
