Chapter 212 Kokushibo: Hmm?
The black wings of the crow streaked across the sky, and it flew from the sky above Asakusa towards the butterfly house in the distance. But before it had flown far, a chirping sound was heard, causing the crow to subconsciously turn its head in the direction of the sound.
I saw a fat owl flapping its wings hard and flying towards Asakusa like a cannonball. Its short beak opened and closed, and the sound came from there.
Looking at the other person's flying back, the crow muttered quietly.
"What a dirty curse..."
Then it spread its wings and flew forward towards the butterfly house.
..............................
On the other side, Tanjiro and Kokushibo, who had gone out before the others, were now walking on the sparsely populated street. Looking at the colorful lights hidden under the white cloth around them, Tanjiro couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
“It must be so lively here…”
Kokushibo frowned and opened his three eyes wide, observing through the box where Tamayo might be hiding, but the next moment, his eyes were fixed on a lamppost.
"Um…"
A groaning sound came from the wooden box, and a huge pressure covered the lamp post from behind Tanjiro. In just a moment, a child with light blue hair appeared and lay on the ground!
"Hey! A person suddenly appeared!"
Tanjiro, who hadn't figured out what was going on, cried out in surprise, causing Kokushibo's eyelids to jump as he tried to remind him to control the other party. The bloody blade pierced through the wooden box and stabbed Tanjiro in the back again.
"Idiot! That's a ghost! It must be related to that woman Tamayo, don't let him get away!"
"Yes!"
With a look of pain on his face, Tanjiro kept rubbing his back, but he did not dare to hesitate and responded loudly, rushing towards the struggling child ghost.
Running to the kid ghost, Tanjiro took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks, pulled out a strip of cloth from his waist, held down the other's flailing arms and tied them up tightly.
"call…"
Letting out a long sigh, Tanjiro looked at the wriggling child ghost at his feet with satisfaction and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"Done... um... ah sorry..."
After smiling with satisfaction, he realized that he had a request to make from Miss Tamayo. He quickly half-knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and spoke to the child ghost who had a frightened look on his face.
"Please tell me where Miss Tamayo is!"
Looking at Tanjiro who was sincere in front of him, the little boy ghost felt that the pressure on him had not eased at all, and it was very difficult for him to move a finger at this moment.
Pretender...
The little boy ghost looked at Tanjiro with gritted teeth. Just as he was about to speak, a gentle voice accompanied by a strange fragrance came from the alley nearby.
"If you're looking for me... please let Yushiro go..."
Hearing the voice, Tanjiro stood up and looked at the beautiful woman walking out of the alley. He was stunned for a moment, and then the low voice of Kokushibo sounded in the box behind him.
"is her…"
At the same time, the pressure from Yushiro also dissipated, and he immediately roared at Tamayo.
"No, Master Tamayo!"
But Tanjiro didn't move at this moment. He just stood there stupidly without moving, which made Kokushibo in the box behind him frown.
"Come on kid! What are you waiting for!"
But after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Tanjiro. Kokushibo looked up and found that Tanjiro, the boy with an overly sensitive nose, had been hit by the opponent's blood demon technique.
"Dog nose!"
With a light curse, Kokushibo once again brought out his blade and stabbed Tanjiro's scarred back.
"Uh... Ouch!"
The pain woke Tanjiro up instantly. He looked around in panic, and finally fixed his gaze on Tamayo, who had stretched out her bleeding arm and was surprised that Tanjiro could actually wake up.
Tanjiro subconsciously took a step forward and was about to speak, but Tamayo on the opposite side took two steps back in fear. At the same time, her sharp nails scratched a longer wound on her arm, and the flowing blood emitted a strange fragrance.
Blood vampire magic? Blood of confusion? Visual fantasy fragrance
Seeing the scene in front of him, Tanjiro anxiously waved his hands, and at the same time instinctively used all his strength to activate the Sun Breathing to prevent himself from being disturbed by the opponent's blood demon technique again.
"Please listen to my explanation, Ms. Tamayo! It was Mr. Yunyi who asked me to come to you!"
After hearing this unforgettable name, Tamayo wanted to refute the other party without thinking. After all, Yoriichi was a human who lived hundreds of years ago. How could he live to this day!
Just as she was about to speak, the familiar scent emanating from the other person's body with each breath made Tamayo close her mouth in shock.
"Really... It's similar to the aura that Mr. Yoriichi exudes..."
But even so, she still didn't dare to believe what Tanjiro said. If what he said was true, then wouldn't Yoshiichirō have lived for hundreds of years in a human body?
As for the possibility that Muzan turned Yoriichi into a demon, Tamayo never even doubted it, because she knew it better than anyone else.
Yunyi would not allow such a thing to happen, and Wuzan... would not dare to do such a thing...
So he asked Tanjiro in confusion.
"Did Mr. Yunyi really ask you to come?"
Seeing that Tamayo had calmed down, Tanjiro smiled happily and nodded heavily.
"Yes! But Mr. Yunyi is not suitable to go out, so I will look for you!"
After listening to Tanjiro's words, Tamayo was confused again.
"What do you mean by unsuitable for going out..."
Faced with Tamayo's questions, Tanjiro, who didn't quite understand himself, gesticulated and muttered for a long time without giving a clear explanation, which made Kokushibo behind him feel impatient.
"Shut up and let me do it!"
The box trembled slightly, and thick white mist diffused from the wooden box, blocking the vision of the other one person and two ghosts present.
The next moment, a cool breeze blew, and the white mist was slowly blown away, disappearing without a trace, revealing Kokushibo who had returned to his original form.
He moved his eyes to glance at the stunned Tamayo, and just as Kokushibo was about to speak, Tamayo's shocked and desperate whisper reached his ears.
"It's over... Mr. Yunyi has turned into a ghost... How could this happen..."
Kokushibo: Hmm?
