…
"Goto, are you okay?"
"I see Tomioka-sama has been circling around here."
While Goto was chatting with Tanjiro, another "Hidden" team member wearing black clothes walked into Kamado's house:
"I sent that old man home. How can he run so fast at such a young age?"
"That's awesome." He praised.
He looked around, then put down the tools in his hands: "It seems that there is nothing that needs to be dealt with."
"The house is not damaged, and even the snow in front of the door has been swept away."
"I've looked everywhere. The blood in the snow is ghost blood, and it disappears as soon as the sun rises."
After he finished his observation, he frowned and looked at Goto with a somewhat surprised tone:
"Was this family really attacked by a ghost?"
At the same time, he also held back a sentence in his heart:
Such a polite ghost?
——He is the one responsible for the aftermath.
——The name is Charge One.
After hearing Mitsuruichi's words, Goto turned his head and nodded towards him, confirming:
"Ah, Charge One."
"There are no big problems with the wounded on my side."
Then he pointed at Tanjuro:
"This is Tanjuro. It seems that he defeated the evil spirit alone. Now he is just exhausted."
Mitsui's eyes followed Goto's fingers and looked towards Tanjuro, with a confused expression.
After he saw Tanjuro, his expression obviously changed.
"This is Tanjiro. He has a slight fever, but nothing serious."
Just when Goto was explaining the current situation.
"Hey, wait."
"This, isn't it?"
Mitsuru suddenly interrupted Goto.
Seeing that his face was pale, he quickly leaned down to Tanjuro's side, stretched out his hand and opened the latter's eyelids:
"Although I am responsible for building houses and negotiating, I have also been exposed to basic medicine."
Cold sweat broke out on Mitsuru's forehead. He straightened up and looked at Goto with serious eyes:
"He doesn't look like he's okay at all, does he?"
He pointed at Tanjuro's weak face and his gradually quiet breathing:
"Look, it seems like it's a miracle that he's alive now!"
Goto was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at Tanjuro and picked up a candle in his hand.
After lighting it, he opened Tanjuro's eyelids and shook the lit candle near his eyes.
Tanjuro's pupils were slightly dilated and showed no reaction.
--Oops!
Goto's scalp suddenly became numb and his heart tightened. It was obviously not like this when he checked just now!
Now, Tanjuro clearly looks like he's about to die!
how come? !
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Goto forced himself to calm down and laid his head on Tanjuro's chest, listening to his increasingly weak heartbeat.
The experienced Goto quickly adjusted his posture and stopped scrambling.
"Quick! CPR!" Mitsuru shouted to Goto from the side.
"I know! It's already being done!" Gotou also shouted. He folded his hands, stood up with his entire upper body, and kept pressing on Tanjuro's chest.
"one two three!……"
"Hey! Hey! Tanjuro! Can you hear me?!"
"Breathe! The breath is disappearing!"
Tanjiro was lying next to him, looking at Goto and Mitsui who suddenly panicked. He stretched out his hand, wanting to say something.
"ha……"
But the hoarse throat could not make any sound.
…
After a while.
how come…
"Huh...huh..." Goto knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with his hands, sweat dripping on the floor, his eyes full of exhaustion and unwillingness.
--Failed!
boom!
He banged his hands on the floor.
"…Damn it!"
"..."
Mitsuru sat aside, leaning against the wall, breathing heavily and saying nothing.
He looked at Tanjuro lying quietly on his back, not knowing what he was thinking.
Obviously, the first aid provided by the two people did not have any critical effect.
Tanjuro, who was lying down, had stopped breathing and heartbeat, and was completely helpless.
Goto's back was turned to Tanjiro, his hands were trembling, and he felt extremely regretful at this moment.
I only checked it five times and felt relieved. If, if I had been more careful...
yes! How could a person who was attacked by a ghost be okay...! Even the soldiers will be injured when they encounter ghosts!
Not to mention an ordinary person who is weak!
How stupid I am!
"How can it be repaired?"
boom! Goto kept beating the ground, venting his regret.
In his opinion, Tanjuro's death was entirely avoidable.
It was just his negligence that led to Tanjuro's death.
In other words.
He was the one who killed Tanjuro.
Snap, snap.
Tears of regret flowed from the corners of his eyes, soaked the black masking cloth, and dripped on the ground.
Without saying a word, a life passed in front of him, which was not easy for anyone.
It took a while.
Tanjiro breathed heavily, and he finally made a voice. Hoarsely, he struggled to raise his head and looked at the frustrated Goto and Mitsui:
"...Goto...!"
His sense of smell has completely failed at this moment, and the high fever has blocked his nose:
"what happens?"
When Goto heard Tanjiro's question, he suddenly felt excited. His whole body was trembling. He kept kneeling on the ground and slowly turned his head.
Tears were streaming down his face, and his voice was a little hoarse:
"Tanjiro..."
"…I…"
Gotou was stared at by Tanjiro. He choked for a moment and didn't know what to say.
He had just assured Tanjiro that his father's condition was stable.
And now, Tanjuro has gone directly to heaven because of his negligence!
Goto was heartbroken.
Just as Goto was dejectedly thinking about how to confess his sins to Tanjiro, and then quickly die to apologize.
"Wow——"
A burst of pink light softly lit up from the side.
Goto was dazzled. No, everyone in the room was dazzled by this pink light.
Then, they hurriedly looked towards the place where the light came from.
——The pale pink cherry blossom petals fell from mid-air, wrapped in crystal clear light, and slowly drifted away.
The translucent cherry blossom petals slowly fell on the dead Kamado Tanjuro and merged with him.
Sudden.
There was a slight sound like a breeze blowing.
Gotou stared in the direction of Kamado Tanjuro in shock.
At this moment, two hanging red-pink characters appeared directly above Kamado Tanjuro.
——"resurrection"
then.
"Creak..."
Goto and Mitsuru's eyes gradually changed from shock to horror.
Kamado Tanjuro opened his sleepy eyes as if he was awake.
He slowly sat up from the bed, blinking at Goto who was kneeling in front of him as if nothing was wrong.
His brain seemed to be still a little unclear, and he was sluggish for a while.
——I...died for a while just now?
Kamado Tanjuro's eyes were a little confused.
But soon, he came back to his senses.
——In the Sekiro world, this situation is quite common.
But Tanjuro didn't expect that Demon Slayer could also be resurrected with the help of Long Yin's power.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked forward.
Looking at Goto's clothes, Tanjuro immediately understood the other person's identity.
--hidden? Someone from the Demon Slayer Squad is here?
Thinking of this, Tanjuro breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak:
"you…"
But he was suddenly interrupted by the shouts of Goto and Mitsuru.
"Ooohhhhhhhh!!"
Goto's bloodshot eyes widened, and he looked at Tanjuro's fine appearance in horror, a chill rising up his spine.
Tears of regret instantly turned into tears of horror.
The two of them were so frightened that they crawled back twice, quickly hugged each other, stared in the direction of Tanjuro, tears streaming down their cheeks, and they shrank back against the wall:
"Don't come over!!"
