"Shimi is back. Are you busy with work recently? I haven't seen you for a long time."
The owner of the wakashi shop he frequented greeted Sane Miyako in a familiar manner. The kind-faced boss didn't care about the scars on Mushiikawa's face and chest, nor did he think he was scary because of his fierce appearance.
.
This is an old shop opened in a back alley. It has been opened here since Shinya Kawasaki was a child.
When I was young, my mother would always take advantage of her alcoholic father's drinking to secretly take out the money she had saved from doing odd jobs for a long time to buy one or two pieces of fruit for herself and her younger siblings to eat, even if her mother later turned into a ghost and was killed by herself.
, he also became a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, and this store is still open here as usual.
Naturally, the boss also remembered this kid who looked vicious but was actually kind-hearted.
When faced with such a kind boss, even the immortal Sumiya did not restrain himself a little and became much more behaved.
When Fusukawa Saneya returns to his hometown between work breaks, he will still come here to sit and buy some snacks that he liked as a child. After eating, he will look at his brother from a distance before leaving.
"Ah, it's still the same."
It's just that this time, Immortal Kawa Saneya didn't just eat and leave like before. Instead, he inquired about something.
He came back this time not because of rest, but because of work... and there was one thing that he had to pay attention to.
My brother was attacked by a ghost last night.
It is said that the one who attacked him was a ghost who was not as beautiful as a human being but was wearing a red kimono sleeve and a black haori. He took the immortal Kawakawa Genya away who was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. It is not known what the situation is now.
That's why he came back here.
The thread in his head was so tight now that it would break if someone touched it even slightly. He could only force himself to stay calm.
"Uncle Sato, are there any new faces in the town recently?"
When the owner of Sato Kazuko's store saw that it was getting dark outside, he simply turned on the electric light, illuminating the room with warmth. He thought for a while and actually nodded, "As for strangers, there is one."
Boss Sato recalled, "He is a very beautiful young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old. His accent seems to be from Kyoto. The clothes he wears are also of expensive materials. But his body is not in good shape. Every time he goes out, he
In the evening, or on rainy days when there is no sun, his skin is very white, and the girls and ladies around here like him very much."
When Fusukawa Saneya heard, "My health is not very good, and every time I go out, it's in the evening or on rainy days without the sun," I felt that I might have found the right person.
As for the girls and ladies nearby who liked him very much, he selectively ignored them.
"What does he look like?" Immortal Kawa Saneya asked again.
Boss Sato seemed to be a little surprised as to why Fusukawa Saneya cared so much about a foreigner he had never met before, but still described the characteristics of this person to him.
"Slightly shorter than you, he always wears vermilion sleeves and a black feather fabric. His long black hair is as smooth and shiny as satin. Moreover, he is really good-looking. When you see him, you will instantly
I know it must be this person."
Fusukawa Saneya once again checked the good-looking column.
The clothes match, the faces match...
The one who attacked my brother should be this ghost.
Just as Boss Sato was about to say something, the bell at the door rang. The boss turned around and smiled even more.
"Kano-kun, we are here again today."
Immortal Sikawa Saneya could tell at the first sight that the person was the person they were discussing just now. This person was wearing what looked like very expensive red-on-gold-patterned sleeves, and a black t-shirt draped over his shoulders.
Haori.
It was already late autumn, but the fabric on his body was very thin, making people shiver just looking at it.
However, what attracted him the most was this 'person's' eyes.
She has very rare golden pupils, and her eyes are so deep that you feel like you are going to be sucked in at a glance.
"Ah, good evening."
Kano Qiuichi opened the door curtain and his eyes fell on the man sitting in the corner wearing a white coat.
This man is exuding a sharp fighting spirit just by sitting here. The long object hidden around his waist should be a knife. On the back of the exposed white coat, there is a black inscription "чнн hole frame"
It's from the Demon Slayer Squad.
Finally the wait is over.
Kano Qiuyi curled his lips and smiled politely at the man. He placed the food box in his hand on the counter, "It's still the same, please."
"You're welcome, wait a minute. Shimi, I'll leave for a moment." The boss took the food box in a familiar manner and went to the back to help him get the snacks he needed, while Kano was not far from the Immortal River Shimi.
Sit down and wait.
Is your name Shimi...?
A man who looks fierce has a very cute name.
This store is not big, and the distance between the two people is less than one meter. At least from the position of Shiya Kawai, you can see the profile of the man named Kano.
For a man, he was really too good-looking. His skin was white and thin, and the exposed wrist and a small section of his arm looked slender and fragile. He had no doubt that he could break his arm with just two fingers.
.
Look at it this way, she's just a pretty sissy.
The look in Immortal Sakawa Saneya's eyes was so naked that Kano Qiuichi couldn't pretend not to see it even if he wanted to. He could only turn his head slightly and nod to him, "What's the matter with this gentleman?"
When he turned his head, Immortal River could see it more clearly.
There are no traces of ghosts on this person. There are no vertical pupils, fangs, or sharp nails. Although his skin is too white, it is within the acceptable range.
...It should be the lower string or upper string ghost.
Ordinary ghosts don't have such perfect mimicry.
The Ghost King, Ghost Dance, has been able to escape countless pursuits by the Demon Slayer Squad for thousands of years. In addition to changing his identity several times, he relied on his mimicry.
No one knows what he will look like and where he will live.
Immortal Kawa Saneya didn't say anything, and still stared straight at Kano, which made people's hair stand on end and made him feel uncomfortable all over.
However, when Kano Qiuichi saw that Immortal Kawa Saneya just looked at him and said nothing, he still turned his head and touched his forearm very honestly.
It makes people look weird and panicked.
This small shop was filled with deathly silence and embarrassment. Fortunately, the boss came out from behind quickly and broke the silence of the room. He put a box full of wagashi on the table and put it on the table.
The snacks that were originally meant to be given to Saneya the Immortal River were wrapped and given to the Immortal River. "They are all packed. Can you take a look?"
"No need. Thank you for your trouble." Kano Qiuichi took out two banknotes from his arms and handed them to the boss before leaving.
The curtain at the door lowered again, and the sound of the clogs gradually faded away. Immortal Kawa Saneya also paid, stuffed the snacks into his arms, and followed with a knife in his pocket.
It wasn't that he didn't want to just draw his sword and kill the ghost, but this was a crowded place, so he didn't know who he would hurt if he did it rashly, so he had to endure it.
It gets dark early now. It's only six o'clock now and it's already completely dark. Fortunately, there are still lights on the roadside that can illuminate the way home.
Immortal Mikawa followed closely, and Kano Qiuichi, who was walking slowly in front, was always stopped. The little girls and their wives who wanted to hide away when they saw him would always smile when they saw Kano Qiuichi.
It was so bright that he took out some fruits or snacks from home and wanted to give them to Kano Qiuichi, but he couldn't refuse them and had to accept them all.
Fusugawa's teeth ached just by looking at him, and he felt impatient in his heart. He wished he could pull Kano Qiuichi out of the pile of women and tell him to leave quickly and not waste time here.
But he also understood what it meant not to alert the enemy, so he waited patiently behind, and finally waited until Kano Qiuichi separated from the women and turned into the alley alone. Then he ran two steps and followed Kano Qiuichi into the alley.
He recognized that this alley... was the one he lived in. He walked through this alley and turned a corner to reach his home.
Immortal Sekawa Saneya's heart tightened, and he ran two steps in, but he didn't see Kano Qiuichi who had just entered with his front feet.
"Damn it!" Immortal Kawa Saneya couldn't help but cursed. He knew that he had lost the person.
He wanted to go home without any hope to see if his brother was at home, but he didn't expect to find Kano Qiuichi again at the next alley.
The man in the red sleeves was holding a man, the blood had soaked the soil under his feet, his eyes were closed tightly, and he had lost his breath.
Immortal Kawa Saneya's initial suspicion of six points suddenly turned into nine points.
