……

Mountaintop.

At the door of the stove door,

"Knock knock!"

A dull knock sounded from outside the wooden door, followed by a flat man's voice:

"Please open the door."

"I'm Yoshitomi Tomioka of the Demon Slayer."

"Please tell me the details of the ghost attack."

The intonation of the voice of the comer did not fluctuate, and it was full of meanings that could not be denied.

Behind the door.

"Whew... Hu ...... "San Lang, who had just dragged the father and son into the house, was tired enough, sweating profusely, and couldn't say a word.

He looked in the direction from which the sound of the door had come from, crouched in the hallway, and looked back at the unconscious father and son.

- What to do.

Grandpa Saburo was very anxious in his heart, he had never heard of anything like the Ghost Slayer and Tomioka Yoshitoi.

This place was attacked by a ghost just now, so it can't be some weirdo, right?

Thinking like this, Saburo stared at the door, picked up the axe next to him, raised his arm, and held his breath.

……

Outside the door.

Well?

Passed out?

After waiting for a while, I found that there was no response.

"Knock knock."

Tomioka Yoshiyu, who was standing outside the door, his eyes did not change, he reached out again, knocked on the door twice, and repeated the words just now:

"Please open the door."

"I know there's someone in there."

Tomioka stood in front of the door, his face expressionless, serious:

"If I don't open the door again, I'll break down the door just to be safe."

"Please open the door."

Finally, after this sentence.

It was as if he was speechless.

Creak......

The old wooden door slowly opened a crack, and the people in the room showed half of their faces, carefully observing Tomioka through the gap.

“… Ghost Slayer? ”

Grandpa Saburo cautiously poked out his eyes, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked up at Tomioka Yoshiyong, who was condescending and blocking the sun.

His body, hidden behind the door, trembled slightly, especially when he had just spent a lot of time climbing the mountain, and his legs trembled terribly.

- Sure enough, it's a weirdo!

Thinking like this, the other party actually said that he would forcibly break it if he didn't open the door.

Who would do that!

It's someone else's house!

Saburo observed the other party tremblingly.

She has long black hair, tied together at her shoulders, wears a two-color hexagram, and has a knife hanging from her waist!

With a knife?

Grandpa Saburo looked at Tomioka Yoshiyong, hesitated and swallowed his saliva, a little nervous, and said hoarsely:

"Excuse me... Are you a police officer? ”

Tomioka looked at the crack in the door that only opened one gap, and shook his head slightly:

"No, I'm Yoshitomi Tomioka of the Demon Slayer."

Hearing this, Saburo opened his mouth slightly, his lips trembled, and he expressed his doubts:

"Oh... In this way..."

"The Demon Slayer... What is it? ”

Tomioka frowned slightly, lowered his head and looked at Saburo, his eyes were empty and silent.

Saburo looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka and waited for his answer.

Tomioka looked at Saburo and said no more.

Saburo was slightly stunned and looked at the silent Tomioka Yoshiyong.

——？

A question mark gradually rose above Grandpa Saburo's head, as if the doubts that had turned into substance gathered in the bottom of his heart.

- This guy, what's going on?

- What a weird person.

Just when the two of them were eye-to-eye at the door.

"That's... Tomioka-sama? ”

A question came from behind Tomioka.

Saburo's eyes suddenly looked in the direction where the voice came from.

- a man in black, carrying a wooden box behind his back.

His face was covered by a thick black cloth, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

The position he was standing in was too far away, so that Saburo, who was only observing the outside world from the crack in the door, didn't see the existence of the man in black just now.

At this moment, the man in black was raising his head, his whole face was only showing his eyes, and his eyes were full of helplessness when he looked at Tomioka Yoshiyu:

"Tomioka-sama, let me explain."

He struggled to suppress the faint green tendons on his forehead.

Tomioka looked at the man in black beside him, he pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly towards him:

"Please."

Saburo's expression became more and more confused, and his gaze moved back and forth between the man in black and Tomioka.

Seeing this, the man in black nodded, then leaned his face towards the crack in the door, sighed slightly, looked at San Lang, and explained with a smile:

"Hello."

"My name is Goto, and I belong to the Ghost Slayer Logistics Organization."

Saburo frowned slightly, he didn't speak, he just felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing Saburo's expression, Goto did not stop explaining, but continued to say:

"The Ghost Killing Team, simply put, is an organization that has existed since ancient times and specializes in hunting 'ghosts'."

"If you're a ghost, you should have seen it just now."

Goto said, keeping a smile on his face, trying to keep his voice as soft as he could, and raised his chin to gesture toward the room:

"I'm hidden, and I'm mainly responsible for dealing with the wounded and the aftermath."

"I saw that there seemed to be two wounded people just now, can you let me go in first to deal with it urgently, there may be a big incident if it drags on for a long time."

Saburo looked at Goto and Tomioka in a daze, he was a little stunned, and all that sounded in his mind was Goto's phrase, "An organization that specializes in hunting ghosts." ”

Syllable!

He suddenly stretched out his hand from behind the door, grabbed Goto's arm, looked at Goto in a stunned look, and his tone was a little shocked:

"You, you, can you kill the ghosts!"

"No, does such an organization exist?!"

Goto looked at Saburo who was clutching him tightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he also held Saburo's arm.

Syllable!

"Old man!"

Goto put his hand on Saburo's shoulder, and at this moment the door was open enough to pass through the distance of one person, and he shook Saburo slightly:

"The wounded, the wounded are still inside!"

"Let's go in first, okay?"

Saburo was a little sluggish, as if he was getting older, and his brain couldn't turn a little.

"Old man!" Goto strained slightly.

Saburo was a little confused by Goto, he looked at Goto in a daze, and then subconsciously nodded his head and let go:

"Ahh Oh... Oooh! Come in. ”

"Thank you." Goto sighed, then nodded at Saburo and walked into the room: "Excuse me." ”

Yoshiyuki Tomioka remained silent and followed.

San Lang looked at the back of the two of them entering the house, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly said:

"This is the home of the two of them, I'm just here to help, you guys be careful not to touch anything."

"Understood." Goto's voice came slowly.

……

Inside the house.

Yoshiyoshi Tomioka and Saburo stood behind Goto and observed.

"Tanjiro is fine, it's just that my hands and feet are a little frostbitten, so it's good to sleep for a while."

The box Goto was carrying was already on the ground, and he pulled out a row of drawers horizontally and opened them all.

He knelt on the ground and leaned over beside Tanjuro Kamado.

There were all kinds of things in the box, and at the moment Goto was holding a stethoscope and listening to Tanjuro Kamado's chest.

After all, Tanjuro was holding a knife, and in Goto's opinion, it should have been a battle, and there was a high possibility of injury.

Therefore, the examination is very careful.

Goto then pulled out a small wooden stick from the box, quickly opened Tanjuro's mouth, and skillfully fiddled with it to observe.

Then he opened Tanjuro's eyelids and took a look.

"The pupils are not dilated and there is no problem with the gums... The internal organs were not injured, and the pulse was stable..."

Goto slowly straightened up.

He had already checked Tanjiro and Tanjuro's bodies.

The worry in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief:

"These two guys."

"I wasn't hurt at all."

Then.

“… Ahem, ahem! That one... Ahem..."

Tanjiro opened his eyes in a daze.
