Chapter 208 A sudden storm
"Can you please stop mentioning my sister to me all the time!"
He pounded his fist on the wooden table, and the fragile table creaked under the weight. Busui's brows twitched as he heard it, and he recalled the afternoon when he received the order from the Crow in the Butterfly House.
"Hey...don't be so angry...and didn't you have to follow me just because you wanted to test your sword skills?"
She puffed up her face and looked at Busei Kawai unhappily. When she thought that when she was not in the Butterfly House, it was this white-haired madman and her sister who took care of the Butterfly House, a surge of anger surged in Xiaoshi's heart. She turned her head away and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Humph…"
Seeing Shinobu like this, Busai was also very troubled. He also wanted to have a good relationship with Butterfly's sister, but the other party just couldn't get along with him. Even if he didn't speak, he would be stared at by the other party's knife-like eyes.
"Ugh…"
With a sigh, the room fell into even more silence than before.
After a moment, Xiaonin, who had calmed down, seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked at Busui with a squint and asked Busui awkwardly.
"... Usually two pillars are dispatched to hunt down the Twelve Demon Moons... Why are there only you now... And there may be more than one Twelve Demon Moons this time..."
When hearing Shinobu's question, Busei didn't react much and answered casually.
"Uzui will come to support us. Tomioka was supposed to come too, but Uzui told me that he is with Hirata now, and the three of us should be enough, so we sent Tomioka away."

Sagiyama mountain cabin front
"That's what Master Wind said! So Master Water should just wait and prepare for the new mission!"
Before the hoarse voice faded, the sound of flapping wings was heard, and a shiny black crow took off from a tree branch and flew through the thick fog towards the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
Under the tree, Yiyong, dressed neatly, stood there in a daze. Gusts of mountain wind blew past, blowing up the mist and his two-colored haori. He lowered his head and said nothing, staying there for a long time.
"Why are you standing here Yiyong? Don't you have a mission?"
An old voice sounded, and Yiyong's stunned figure finally reacted. He straightened up slightly, looked at the old tree in front of him, and spoke softly.
"I'm no longer needed..."
Hearing Yiyong's somewhat low tone, Mr. Urokodaki behind him frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed lightly, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the wooden house.
Beside Yiyong, an illusory figure was looking at his depressed face with a complicated expression, not only heartache, but also a look of disappointment.
But no matter how close the other person got, Yiyong couldn't see any trace of the other person, he could only feel a warm mist beside him.
..............................
In the hotel, as soon as Busei finished speaking casually, Shinobu's somewhat shocked words followed.
"Does that mean the wolf will come here too? And why would Lord Sound Pillar come here with the wolf?"
Hearing Shinobu's exclamation and remembering what was written in Uzui's letter not long ago, a hint of admiration appeared on Busei's calm face.
"I don't know where Hirata got the information from, but he and Uzui killed the Upper Six in Yoshiwara not long ago. That means there are only two Upper Six left now!"
boom!
Excited palms and fists collided, and an unprecedented huge advantage came over the Demon Slayer Corps. Victory against the evil demons seemed to be right in front of Busei!
However, after the excitement, Busei quickly calmed down, touched his chin, and recalled that Uzui wrote in the second half of the letter that this time in addition to the wolf, he also brought a surprise.
"What could it be..."
Squeak.
At this moment, the wooden door behind them was pushed open with a slight sound. Thinking that it was the wolves and their group had arrived, the two men turned around with joy to look, but a rough roar was heard first.
"Ahaha! Here comes the mountain king!"
Their eyes suddenly became helpless, but the two of them did not forget the main business. Looking at Yuichiro who was squeezed behind Inosuke, Busei asked seriously.
"Are there any traces of the Twelve Demon Moons in the surrounding area?"
With a serious expression, Ichiro shook his head and responded to Busuigawa.
"Although there are evil spirits, there is no information that they could be the Twelve Demon Moons... The only suspicious thing in the city is that the local tycoon Yue Yan has been missing for several days..."
After saying that, he took out the Yueyin Candy in his arms and was about to throw it to Busui Kawai, but Busui Kawai waved his hand to signal him to keep it. Then his face became a little gloomy, and he nodded and continued.
"That's right... We arrived a day earlier and did a brief investigation of the city. Yue Yan's disappearance is indeed very strange... But other than that, there is no trace of Gui Yue hiding..."
boom.
Just as he finished speaking, the window behind him was opened, accompanied by a magnetic voice.
"Then... the most suspicious place is that..."
Hearing the voice, Busui looked back and saw Uzui's burly figure squatting at the window, blocking most of the sunlight coming into the room through the window. However, he seemed to have his own light and was still gorgeous and dazzling even in the dim light.
But Fuzukawa ignored the other party's handsome appearance and just spoke out the meaning of his words.
"…The missing rich man's house…No one would stay there these days…Even relatives wouldn't go there often…It's like a no-man's land…It's a good place for evil spirits to hide…"
"what!"
With a smug look on his face, Yu Zui was about to say something when he felt a huge force from behind. His face suddenly lost its calmness and he jumped out of the window in embarrassment.
"Asshole! Even if you want to show off, you have to know your limits!!"
A yellow-haired head popped out angrily from the window where Uzui fell, then a warm smile returned to his face, and he turned around and whispered to the three beauties around him.
"Please come in~"
Seeing this face changing faster than a chameleon, everyone in the room exclaimed in their hearts at the same time.
What a double standard!
The three beautiful ninjas saw their show of cool being disrupted. Their husband, who was furious and fighting with Zenitsu again, covered their mouths with their hands, smiled lightly, jumped in through the window, first bowed slightly to Busei, and then walked aside and stood silently.
He also bowed in return to the three female ninjas. Since they were Uzui's wives, Busei naturally wouldn't put on airs. The little ninja next to him was craning her neck to glance out the window.
The next moment, the wolf jumped into the house from the window, and after landing steadily on the ground, he looked up and saw Xiaonin, who had just retracted his gaze, as if he didn't care, but his eyes were still moving around.
A question mark popped up above my head.
Miss Shinobu...what happened...
Xiaonin, who thought she was very good at disguising herself, raised a faint smile.
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Uzui stopped playing with Zenitsu, loosened his hand that was pinching the other's cheek, snorted coldly, and went to find his wife.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
Rubbing his face, Zenitsu cried out in pain twice, then looked fiercely at Uzui who was talking to his wives, then stood up, patted his butt, and spoke loudly to the window.
"Xuan Mi, come in quickly, what are you waiting for... You don't want to make a handsome appearance too, do you?!"
On the side, Busei, who was originally feeling a headache as he saw more and more people coming, suddenly had his pupils shrink when he heard those two familiar words. He turned his head stiffly towards the window, where a ray of sunlight was shining into the room from the window.
...Impossible...No way...
He kept telling himself this in his mind, but Busuikawa himself didn't realize that his fists had been clenched tightly and his hands were sweating from nervousness.
"..."
The wolf next to him clearly saw the strangeness of Busei Kawai and looked at him with a frown. The next moment, Xuanya outside the window responded to Zenitsu in a somewhat hesitant voice.
"I-I'm not that stupid...I'll be right there!"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Busei's eyes suddenly opened wide, bloodshot all over the whites of his eyes. At this moment, this was the only voice left in his ears.
As his feet moved, a strong wind blew up in the house, making it impossible for the children to open their eyes for a moment. At this time, Xuan Mi jumped into the house from the window, lowered his head and spoke timidly.
"Brother...long time no see..."
But what greeted him was the sound of the floor shattering and a sudden strong wind!
