Secretary, Shinobu, and Kanae / Preparing to Return to the Demon Slayer Corps

"Click".

As the door opened, two familiar figures appeared before Scribe.

The person standing on the left is around twenty years old, with black hair and purple eyes. Her hair has pink edges on both sides, but the main body is a light green Kocho clip.

The one on the right looks younger, with black hair, but the ends of her bangs are purple, and she also wears a Kocho hair clip at the back of her head.

"Hey, it's been a long time, you two."

Smiling, Scribe greeted the two of them and joked.

"How have you been lately? You haven't gained weight, have you?"

However, the two people opposite them were stunned when they saw the Scribe.

They never expected to run into the Scribe they hadn't seen in so long here.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

After touching his face a few times, the Scribe continued.

"The Shinobu and Kanae Kocho I remember are not like this."

That's right, the two Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are here.

The Flower Hashira, Kanae Butterfly, and her sister, the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Butterfly.

Since the Scribe and Tanjiro left, the group has not seen each other again.

They met again here today when they came to deliver samples to Koume that needed to be tested.

"Mister Scribe!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the two women finally came to their senses.

He gasped in surprise, then his expression changed.

The initial surprise vanished completely, replaced by a somewhat gloomy and scheming expression.

She took a few steps forward, grabbed Scribe by the collar, and said somewhat angrily.

"Do you know how worried we were about you? The whole team is talking about how you were seriously injured by a ghost with a single blow."

Seeing her younger sister so agitated, Kanae Kocho quickly tried to calm her down.

"Ren, don't do this. Perhaps the Mister Scribe was afraid of distracting us, so he found a place to hide and heal his wounds."

Although Scribe could understand every word the two sisters spoke.

However, the combination of information gave him a bit of a headache.

What does it mean to be seriously injured by a ghost with a single blow?

Chapter 357 The Scribe, Shinobu, and Kanae Kocho

Seeing that the two women didn't seem to be joking, Scribe subconsciously touched his own body.

After confirming that he felt no pain or discomfort anywhere, he patted Shinobu Butterfly's little hand.

"It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry."

However, upon hearing what the Scribe said, Shinobu Butterfly immediately assumed that the Scribe was trying to comfort her.

"No, why didn't you come to us for treatment after you got injured?"

"Do you really think that my sister, the people from the Butterfly Mansion, and I can't help you?"

"Or is your injury so serious that..."

As she spoke, Ren's voice gradually lowered.

The Scribe could clearly see that there seemed to be tears glistening in her eyes.

"No, what are you talking about?"

With a puzzled expression, the Scribe asked.

Do I look like the person you imagine?

"That's right!"

Shiragiku, who was standing to the side, hugged Scribe's waist and bared her teeth at Shinobu Butterfly Die Ren.

"You woman, you cursed the Mister Scribe as soon as you arrived, how despicable!"

However, no matter what the Scribe said, Shinobu Butterfly just shook her head.

Left with no other choice, Scribe had to agree to let her and Kanae Kocho give him a physical examination.

"If they can't find anything wrong with my body, you can all rest assured, right?"

Before long, a rigorous and meticulous inspection was completed.

Looking at the report in her hand, Shinobu Butterfly finally felt relieved.

As it turned out, the Scribe's body was not only fine, but also unusually healthy.

The heartbeat, blood flow, and range of motion of the limbs are all exceptionally good.

Even Ren's much-vaunted flexibility was far inferior to what the Scribe had tested as excellent.

Shinobu and Kanae Kocho, who have diagnosed hundreds of people, have never seen a body of this caliber.

In their view, even a preliminary estimate, the Scribe's body was stronger than that of the Himejima Gyomei.

"Now you can rest assured."

With a sigh, the Scribe said helplessly.

"So, what exactly do you mean by what you just said, that I was seriously injured by a ghost with a single blow?"

"That was something that circulated within the team a while ago..."

Kanae Kocho put the box she was carrying aside and began to explain.

"Its spread so widely that even some ghosts believed it to be true..."

"My Master has already contained the rumors and is striving to minimize their impact."

After some time, she explained the whole story to the Scribe.

"So that's how it is."

After listening to Kanae Kocho's words, the Scribe waved his hand.

"It's all fake, don't believe it."

"Well, now it seems that it was indeed a rumor."

With a huge weight lifted from her heart, Kanae Kocho couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The more you suppress rumors, the more people will believe them.

Originally, she herself had some belief in it.

After all, the Scribe did not return with Tanjiro and the others, but instead sent them back with several letters.

The misunderstanding of the letter's contents, coupled with the Scribe's prolonged absence, inevitably led some people to choose to believe it.

But now it seems that the Scribe is perfectly fine.

Once he appears in the Demon Slayer Corps after some time, the rumors will be completely dispelled.

Just as Scribe and Kanae Kocho were chatting, a small hand suddenly grabbed Scribe's waist.

Gently pinch with your fingernail, then rotate half a circle.

"Hiss~"

Taking a sharp breath, the Scribe turned around and looked over.

"Ren, what are you doing?"

Upon seeing the Scribe, they discovered

Chapter 358 Preparing to Return to the Demon Slayer Corps

While Scribe and Ren were making a scene, Shiragiku, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"You woman, let go of Mister Scribe!"

With a shout, Koume rushed forward.

She grabbed Shinobu Butterfly's haori and pulled desperately, trying to pull her away from the Scribe.

"Hey, who's this little girl?"

It was only then that Shinobu and Kanae Kocho noticed the presence of the Shiragiku blossom.

When they first came in, Shinobu didn't say anything, causing the two of them to subconsciously ignore her presence.

"What an adorable little girl."

Kanae Kocho glanced down at the Shiragiku blossoms, her face beaming with smiles.

She bent down and pinched the other person's cheek before asking.

"Little sister, what are you doing here?"

"I was chatting with the Mister Scribe right here."

Kanae Kocho was taken aback when she heard what the other person said.

Then, he patted the other person's head.

"Lying is not a good thing for a child. I know what kind of people are here."

Don't touch my head!

When Koume saw Kanae Kocho touch her head, Koume immediately shouted angrily.

"Only the Mister Scribe is allowed to touch that!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her little fist and pounded hard on Kanae Kocho.

Kanae Kocho dismissed it as a child's joke and didn't take it to heart.

He squatted down and started teasing Koume.

At the same time, Shinobu also realized that the person she was looking for didn't seem to be here.

"Mister Scribe, do you know where the researcher in charge of the research is in this room?"

"Isn't it right in front of you?"

Sitting in the chair, the Scribe said with a smile.

"She's been here since you came in."

With puzzled expressions on their faces, Shinobu and Kanae Kocho exchanged a glance.

Unfortunately, they didn't get what they wanted from the other person's eyes.

The two women knew very well that the researcher here was a ghost.

At first, Shinobu was unwilling to accept the idea that she needed a demon's help.

Having witnessed the horrors of ghosts in her youth, she naturally harbored little affection for them.

In addition, in recent years, during the ghost hunting process, I have encountered people who have been harmed by ghosts.

Influenced by these two factors, Shinobu Butterfly harbors an extreme aversion to demons deep down.

If it weren't for Kanae Kocho's persuasion, she wouldn't have even considered collaborating.

However, thanks to Tamayo's introduction and the Scribe's guarantee, Shinobu reluctantly accepted the offer.

Even so, she never liked to say a word to the ghost whenever she came here.

After putting down the items and stating the time they would be coming to collect them, they would pull Kanae Kocho away early.
