But now, at the agreed time, the ghost has vanished.
"Can't you even keep your promises?"
A sense of disgust arose in his heart, but he did not show it.
She glanced at the medical equipment and research tools in the room, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
Although the Demon Slayer Corps is a well-funded organization, it is still far behind Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals.
The funds that can be provided to the Butterfly Mansion also need to be applied for and communicated in advance.
If there is a temporary shortage of funds, the purchase of the Butterfly Mansion will be temporarily rejected until the funds are recovered.
In this respect alone, the well-funded Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals far surpasses it.
According to Tamayo, anything that is useful and helpful to research only needs to be done in one way.
Furthermore, because the Demon Slayer Corps is not an officially recognized entity, they have to purchase many things in their own name.
Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, with its greater reputation and capital, was able to purchase more and better medical devices on a large scale.
Sometimes, without even actively purchasing them, state-of-the-art products are delivered to Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals for testing and use.
This is why Shinobu and Kanae Kocho sometimes come here for help.
After glancing at Ren, Scribe stood up and pulled Koume over.
"Alright, Koume, stop making a fuss."
He patted the other person's head and comforted them.
"Since you promised them beforehand, you have to keep your word."
Hearing what Scribe said, Shiragiku was originally angry, pouted and stopped making a fuss.
"If it weren't for you, Mister Scribe, I wouldn't have agreed to meet them when they came to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body began to change.
With a few crisp clicks, the petite and lovely Shiragiku transformed back into the aloof and long-legged female researcher she had been before.
"The things are in here, right? I've taken them."
After glancing at Shinobu and Kanae Kocho, Koume hugged the box to her chest and walked out.
It was only then that the Kocho Sisters realized that the little girl was actually Shiragiku, the girl they were looking for.
In their previous interactions, they were unaware that the other party possessed the ability to transform.
Moreover, after transforming, she looks like an adorable human little girl.
The two pillars were completely unaware that the other was a demon.
What an amazing ability!
A hint of caution flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think.
"If it weren't for Mister Scribe's presence, how could that guy possibly stay here obediently?"
As she spoke, she cast an admiring glance at the Scribe.
Seeing that Ren had suddenly looked at him, Scribe blinked a few times.
"After the results come out, will you go back to the team?"
Kanae Kocho nodded and said.
"The results will be out in a few days. We plan to use this time to purchase other necessary medicines and such."
Shinobu also agreed with this.
"Perhaps due to the rumors, the proportion of injured swordsmen has increased recently, and the stockpiled medicines are running low, and the expenses are also very high."
"I see."
Scribe remained silent for a while after listening to the Kocho Sisters' words.
He spoke shortly afterward.
"When you get your results, I'll go back with you."
"Really?"
Upon receiving this news, Kanae Kocho smiled and said...
"That's great! As long as you go back, Mister Scribe, the team will immediately settle down, and the rumors will fall apart on their own."
With a wave of his hand, the Scribe smiled and said.
"I'm just an ordinary swordsman, I don't hold any important position, there's no need for everyone to pay too much attention to me."
He was well aware that most of the time, he was doing things according to his own will.
Perhaps a random thought will lead him to expend energy on something.
Just like the current Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, it was originally just a random idea of mine.
Kanae Kocho simply smiled at the Scribe's modesty and said nothing.
After seeing that Koume had left, Shinobu once again revealed his "true nature".
Mister Scribe, are you not short of money?
"I think so."
Nodding subconsciously, Scribe asked curiously.
"What's wrong?"
"Could you please reimburse my sister and me for the expenses we incur on medicine later?"
A mysterious smile appeared on her face as she looked at Scribe.
"You'd better think carefully about how to answer."
Chapter 359 Secret Meeting with Pillar-Level Members
A few days later, after Shinobu and Kanae Kocho obtained the data they needed, they left Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals.
Similarly, the Scribe kept his promise and returned to the Demon Slayer Corps with them.
However, on this return journey, two people appeared whom I did not want to see.
To be precise, they were two ghosts.
Koume and Gyutaro appeared in the group.
Koume's accomplice was naturally approved by the Scribe beforehand.
And this is how Gyutaro answered.
"If I go with Mister Scribe, I can help him with some small matters."
In his view, he could help solve many problems that didn't require the Scribe's intervention.
Koume felt the same way; with him around, she could relax and have fun without worry.
Given that Gyutaro's answer was so correct, the Scribe couldn't refuse.
He simply reminded the other party to only act after receiving his instructions.
Otherwise, the other person's appearance alone would be enough to scare a group of people to tears.
At this moment, the three people and two ghosts were walking on a narrow path in the dark.
"Charge! Charge!"
In her baby form, Koume is riding on Gyutaro's neck, shouting happily.
"Hurry up, brother, don't fall behind those two women."
She glanced at Shinobu and Kanae Kocho out of the corner of her eye and urged Gyutaro to hurry up.
"Okay, okay, don't rush me."
Gyutaro naturally wouldn't refuse Koume's request.
After all, as a demon, he didn't have any good feelings towards Demon Slayer.
If it weren't for the Scribe mediating, it wouldn't be impossible for the two people and the two ghosts to have started fighting on the spot.
Why are you here?!
He squinted, and although there was a faint smile on his face, it was clear that he was reluctant to see Koume and the others appear.
"Mind your own business!"
Koume replied fiercely and made a face at Ren.
"My brother and I came out to play with the Mister Scribe, not with the two of you."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the Scribe beside her.
"Mister Scribe, are you tired? If you are, let's take a rest."
Seeing the obvious difference in how the well-behaved and adorable Koume treated him and Scribe, Ren didn't know how to refute her for a moment.
"Um, I'm not tired. If you are, just let me know."
The Scribe waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't tired.
At first, he thought Koume was the type who didn't like to talk much.
But now it seems that I was completely wrong.
Whether it's because of herself or because of her appearance, Koume in this state is completely like a little girl.
Kanae Kocho simply watched quietly as Shinobu and Koume played around.
Every now and then, she would cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
As an "outsider" in the Demon Slayer Corps, Kanae Kocho feels sympathy for demons because demons and humans were once the same kind of creatures.
And the current situation is exactly what she wanted to see.
Kanae Kocho glanced casually at the Scribe not far away, thinking to herself.
"All of this is thanks to the Mister Scribe."
Noticing that Kanae Kocho was looking at him, the Scribe responded with a smile.
Realizing she had been stared at, Kanae Kocho quickly turned her head away.
Neither Shinobu nor Koume, who were "arguing," noticed this incident and were preoccupied with verbally attacking each other.
As for Gyutaro, he didn't care at all.
He only "joins the battle" and acts as his sister's helper when Koume falls below.
A few days later, the Scribe and his companions finally arrived at a town near the Demon Slayer Corps Base.
Although Koume's appearance makes it impossible for most people to distinguish her from a human.
However, Gyutaro is different. Having absolutely no experience in this area, he is seen as an evil being by the eyes of experienced Demon Slayer.
Therefore, the Scribe could only leave the brother and sister to wait for him there.
I will return as quickly as possible after I have finished handling things.
With a pout of dissatisfaction, Koume tugged at Scribe's sleeve and said somewhat reluctantly.
"Alright, Mister Scribe, you'd better come back soon."
Don't worry.
After bending down and patting Koume's head, Scribe then spoke to Gyutaro.
"The rest is up to you."
Nodding, Gyutaro said seriously.
"Don't worry, Mister Scribe, I guarantee I'll complete the task."
Afterwards, Scribe returned to the Demon Slayer Corps with the Kocho Sisters.
