…
Mountain top.
At the door of Zaomen's house,
"Boom!"
A dull knock sounded from outside the wooden door, followed immediately by a man's voice with a plain tone:
"Please open the door."
"I am Giyu Tomioka of the Demon Slayer Squad."
"Please tell me the details of the ghost attack."
The tone of the visitor's voice had no fluctuations and was full of meaning that could not be rejected.
behind the door.
"Huh...huh..." Saburo, who had just dragged Kamado and his son into the house, was so tired that he was sweating profusely and couldn't say a word.
He looked towards the direction of the sound coming from the door, squatted at the entrance, and looked back at the unconscious father and son.
--what to do.
Grandpa Saburo was very anxious. He had never heard of anything like the Demon Slayer Squad or Tomioka Giyuu.
This place was attacked by a ghost just now. Could it be some weird person?
Thinking like this, Saburo stared at the door, picked up the ax next to him, raised his arm, and held his breath.
…
outside the door.
Um?
Passed out?
After waiting for a while, I found no response.
"Dong dong."
Tomioka Giyu stood outside the door, his eyes unchanged. He stretched out his hand again, knocked on the door twice, and repeated what he just said:
"Please open the door."
"I know there's someone in there."
Tomioka Giyu stood in front of the door, his face expressionless and serious:
"If you don't open the door, I will break in just to be safe."
"Please open the door."
Finally, after this sentence.
As if speechless and choked.
Creak...
The old wooden door slowly opened a gap, and the person inside revealed half of his face, carefully observing Tomioka Giyu through the gap.
"...Demon Slayer Squad?"
Grandpa Saburo carefully looked out his eyes, with cold sweat on his forehead, and looked up at Tomioka Giyu, who was standing high and blocking the sun.
His body hidden behind the door was trembling slightly, especially since he had just spent a lot of time climbing the mountain, and his legs were trembling especially badly.
——He is indeed a weirdo!
Saburo thought like this, but the other party actually forced the door open without saying anything.
Who would do this?
This is someone else’s house!
Sanlang trembled and observed the other party.
Her long black ruffled hair was tied together at her shoulders. She was wearing a double-colored feathered fabric and had a knife hanging on her waist!
With a knife?
Grandpa Saburo looked at Tomioka Giyu, swallowed hesitantly, became a little nervous, and said hoarsely:
"Excuse me...are you a police officer?"
Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at the crack in the door, which was only open to a small gap, and shook his head slightly:
"No, I am Tomioka Giyu from the Demon Slayer Squad."
After hearing this, Sanlang opened his mouth slightly, his lips trembled, and expressed his doubts:
"Oh, like this…"
"What is the Demon Slayer Squad?"
Tomioka Yoshiyong frowned slightly, lowered his head and looked at Saburo with empty eyes and silence.
Saburo looked at Tomioka Giyu, waiting for his answer.
Tomioka Giyu looked at Saburo and said nothing.
Saburo was slightly stunned and looked at the silent Tomioka Giyu.
——?
A question mark gradually rose above Grandpa Saburo's head, as if doubts had turned into substance and gathered in his heart.
——What’s going on with this guy?
——What a strange person.
Just when the two of them were staring at each other at the door.
"That...Tomioka-sama?"
A question came from behind Tomioka Giyu.
Saburo's eyes immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
——It was a man in black, carrying a wooden box on his back.
His face was covered by a thick black cloth, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The position he was standing was too far away, so Saburo, who was only observing the outside world through the crack in the door, didn't see the man in black at all.
At this moment, the man in black was raising his head, with only his eyes exposed on his face. His eyes looked at Tomioka Giyu with helplessness:
"Master Tomioka, why don't you let me explain."
He tried hard to suppress the faint veins on his forehead.
Tomioka Giyu looked at the man in black next to him. He pondered for a moment and nodded slightly towards him:
"please."
Saburo's expression became more and more confused, and his eyes moved back and forth between the man in black and Tomioka Giyu.
Seeing this, the man in black nodded, then leaned toward the crack of the door, sighed slightly, looked at Saburo, and explained with a smile:
"Hello."
"My name is Goto, and I belong to the Demon Slayer Logistics Organization Gin."
Saburo frowned slightly. He did not speak, but felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing Saburo's expression, Goto did not stop explaining, but continued:
"The Demon Slayer Corps, to put it simply, is an organization that has existed since ancient times specifically for hunting 'ghosts'."
"As for 'ghost', you should have seen it just now."
Goto said, keeping his smile, trying to keep his voice gentle, and raised his chin, gesturing towards the room:
"I am Yin, and I am mainly responsible for dealing with the injuries of the injured and the aftermath."
"I just saw two wounded people. Can you let me go in first for emergency treatment? If it takes too long, something serious may happen."
Saburo stared blankly at Goto and Tomioka Giyu. He was a little dazed, and only Goto's words "an organization that exists specifically to hunt ghosts" rang in his mind.
Snapped!
He suddenly reached out from behind the door and grabbed Goto's arm. He looked at Goto blankly and his tone was a little shocked:
"You, you, can kill the ghost!"
"No, does such an organization actually exist?!"
Goto looked at Saburo who was holding him tightly. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he also held Saburo's arm.
Snapped!
"Old man!"
Goto put his hand on Saburo's shoulder. At this moment, the door was open enough for one person to pass through. He shook Saburo slightly:
"The wounded, the wounded are still inside!"
"Let us go in first, okay?"
Sanlang was a little sluggish, as if he was old and couldn't think straight.
"Old man!" Goto exerted his strength slightly.
Saburo was a little confused by Goto's shaking. He looked at Goto blankly, then nodded subconsciously and stepped away:
"Ah...oh...oh! Please come in."
"Thank you." Goto sighed, then nodded to Saburo and walked into the room: "Excuse me."
Tomioka Giyuu remained silent and followed closely.
Sanlang looked at the backs of the two people entering the room, seemed to think of something, and said quickly:
"This is their home. I'm just here to help. Please be careful not to touch anything."
"I understand." Goto's voice came slowly.
…
inside the house.
Tomioka Giyu and Saburo stood behind Goto and observed.
"Tanjiro is fine, he just has some frostbite on his hands and feet. He will be fine after a little sleep."
The box Goto was carrying had been placed on the ground, and a row of drawers had been pulled out and all opened.
He knelt on the ground and leaned over Kamado Tanjuro.
There are various things placed in the box. At this moment, Goto is holding a stethoscope and listening to Kamado Tanjuro's chest.
After all, Tanjuro was holding a sword, and in Goto's opinion, he should have been involved in a fight, and there was a high possibility of being injured.
So the diagnosis and examination are very careful.
Goto then pulled out a small piece of wood from the box, quickly opened Tanjuro's mouth, and skillfully played with it inside to observe.
Then he opened Tanjuro's eyelids and took a look.
"The pupils are not dilated, there is no problem with the gums...the internal organs are not injured, and the pulse is stable..."
Goto slowly straightened up.
He had already checked the bodies of Tanjiro and Tanjuro.
The worry in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief:
"These two guys."
"It wasn't hurt at all."
At this time.
"...cough cough cough! That... cough cough..."
Tanjiro opened his eyes drowsily.
