"Bang."
The elbow and palm collided with a dull thud.
The anger on his face gradually disappeared. Yae hadn't expected that his angry attack would be blocked so easily.
It was during this time that her mind calmed down.
"You're Yae, right?"
Releasing his grip, Tomioka Giyu's face was calm, showing no surprise or anger whatsoever from being suddenly attacked.
"I am Tomioka Giyu of the Demon Slayer Corps. Please tell me in detail the information about the attack by the 'demon'."
Upon hearing this, Shinobu Butterfly's expression changed slightly, and she was about to step forward to stop him.
This isn't how you ask someone for information; it's unacceptable to expose the Demon Slayer Corps in public.
The Scribe grabbed her and said with a smile.
"It's not the right time yet."
Shinobu Butterfly was worried that the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps would become known to ordinary people, but the hunters' attention was completely off the topic.
"A ghost? What's that?"
"No, buddy, the one that attacked people was a bear, a man-eating bear."
"What is that guy saying?"
Yae heard the words "Demon Slayer Corps" and "demon," her expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
Shinobu Butterfly was relieved to find that the hunters didn't care about the Demon Slayer Corps.
But then I thought, isn't knowing about the existence of "ghosts" an even more serious matter?
If Scribe hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have already pulled Tomioka Giyu aside.
Meanwhile, several hunters also began to notice Tomioka Giyu's identity.
"Excuse me, are you a police officer?"
"No, it's the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Sigh, is that Demon Slayer... something, a government agency?"
"No, it's not. It's an unofficial organization."
Looking at Tomioka Giyu, who was answering his questions with a blank expression, the hunter felt embarrassed.
At this moment, another hunter pointed to the Nichirin Blade and asked.
"And what's that on your waist...?"
Without saying a word, Tomioka Giyu glanced at the tense expression on the other person's face, then took off his Nichirin Blade and placed it on the ground.
"Want to take a look?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"
The hunter quickly waved his hand, indicating that he had absolutely no such intention.
Tomioka Giyu continued to look at Yae and spoke.
"I am Tomioka Giyu from the Demon Slayer Corps, please..."
There's absolutely no way to reason with this guy!
Looking at Tomioka Giyu, the hunter's face was full of conflict and helplessness.
"It seems like we should call the police officer over."
After discussing it, the hunters came to a conclusion.
This guy isn't thinking straight, and he's holding a sharp knife; we need to get him under control as soon as possible.
In an instant, three shotguns were pointed at Tomioka Giyu, and the dark muzzles faintly smelled of gunpowder.
"Don't move, you rascal, behave yourself."
Looking at the gun pointed at him, Tomioka Giyu's face immediately showed a look of confusion.
It was perfectly fine, how did it end up like this?
I simply found the person involved and asked for relevant information.
To put their minds at ease, Nichirin Blade was temporarily removed.
Even so, I was still misunderstood.
Although he couldn't figure out why things had turned out this way, Tomioka Giyu knew that if he didn't do something, the mission would likely be delayed.
Thinking this, he slowly stood up, intending to leave for the time being.
The hunter, seeing Tomioka Giyu stand up and grip his sword, assumed he was about to attack someone.
"Someone get a rope! This guy's about to attack!"
His face showed even more confusion; Tomioka Giyu had no idea why he was about to attack anyone.
Just when things reached a stalemate, the Scribe's voice suddenly came.
"Giyu, you're still so clumsy with words, hahaha."
Upon hearing the voice, Tomioka Giyu immediately turned around and saw Scribe and Shinobu Butterfly behind him.
"Kocho, and also the Scribe ... Mister Scribe."
"Don't change your address. When you were little, you used to call me Brother Scribe all the time."
Scribe patted Tomioka Giyu on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Shinobu will handle all of this."
Tomioka Giyu shook his head and refused.
"It's okay, I'll figure out a way to solve it myself."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, indicating that the hunters could tie him up.
Just as Scribe was about to say something, he suddenly turned to look at Yae behind Tomioka Giyu.
At some point, Yae, who had been perfectly Yae, was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.
"Make way."
Pushing the hunters aside, the Scribe quickly walked to Yae's side and conducted a brief examination.
Fortunately, it's just a simple fever; all I need to do is find a place to rest.
Because of this incident, the hunters, worried about Yae's body, no longer cared about Tomioka Giyu.
With their help, the three Scribe took the unconscious Yae back to the old woman's house.
Because she was a girl, Shinobu Butterfly was given the task of taking her temperature.
The Scribe sat to the side, silently sipping his tea.
Half a day passed, Yae, who had been unconscious, suddenly shouted.
"Father!"
She suddenly opened her eyes, only to see the ceiling.
"Oh, you're awake."
Looking at Yae who had woken up, Scribe smiled slightly.
"What's wrong? Did you dream about something bad?"
Yae showed great vigilance and distrust towards the three Scribe.
The situation only improved slightly after the Scribe gave her a cup of tea mixed with some herbs.
"Have you calmed down?"
Scribe glanced at Yae, who was sipping her tea, and said calmly.
"Now, can we talk about that ghost?"
Chapter 222 The Truth and the Pulled Trigger
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"No, you know, you just don't want to say it."
After finishing the last bit of tea, Scribe slowly put down the teacup and looked at Yae.
"Or rather, you..."
Before the Scribe could finish speaking, Tomioka Giyu interrupted him.
"Mister Scribe, this is my task. Let me explain."
Turning to look at Tomioka Giyu, the Scribe shook his head.
"You should take Tai Lü off your head first, then we can talk."
Taro, who was already wary of Tomioka Giyu, had somehow "upgraded" his biting from hand to head.
Its forelimbs were firmly resting on Tomioka Giyu's shoulders, while its hind legs kept kicking his back, as if venting something.
"No, it's perfectly fine, please don't worry."
"Don't worry my ass. Do you know that this is already considered an attack?"
After wiping the drool off his face, Tomioka Giyu said with a serious expression.
"I wasn't attacked, I was just playing with it."
Upon seeing that her dog was biting someone, Yae quickly picked up Yae.
However, in her subsequent explanation, she maintained that what she saw was not a ghost, but a man-eating bear.
Not only that, she also learned from Shinobu Butterfly what the demons and the Demon Slayer Corps meant.
"Speaking of which, do you kill all the ghosts?"
"No, we only kill evil spirits."
Shinobu Butterfly shook her head, indicating that the Demon Slayer Corps were not executioners or executioners.
Of course, none of the ghosts she had encountered before were people-eating.
"Is that so?"
Nodding, Yae said calmly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. The bear hunt isn't finished yet."
As she spoke, she put on her clothes and slung the gun over her back.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
He bowed slightly to the Scribe and the others, Yae pushed open the door, ready to leave.
"Are you planning to go into the mountains alone tonight?"
The Scribe's voice rang out, his tone full of accusation.
"This isn't the way to seek revenge. Are you hiding something?"
Faced with the Scribe's questioning, Yae shouted impatiently.
"You're so annoying, just leave me alone!"
She raised her right hand high, ready to slap the Scribe.
However, a large hand firmly gripped her wrist.
"A creature that knows only how to kill and eat cannot possibly revert back to being human."
Looking directly into Yae's eyes, the Scribe's face was full of seriousness.
"Remember, forever."
"None of your business!"
