Close the Door and Release Tanjiro / I Have Someone Better and More Suitable (Demon) in Mind
But just as they stepped into the Butterfly Mansion side by side, Tanjiro froze on the spot.
Because, in front of him, a tall man was holding two girls.
One was carried on their shoulder, and the other was tucked into their arms.
"Please let go! Let go!"
A girl screamed desperately, using her hands and feet to try to break free.
It's clear that she didn't ask the man to do it.
"?"
A hint of doubt appeared on his face, but then he seemed to realize something.
Stepping forward, the Scribe spoke to the man.
"Tengen, have you changed careers? You're no longer a ninja, but have started doing shady things instead."
The man who tied up the person was none other than the Sound Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui.
He abducted a woman from the Butterfly Mansion in broad daylight!
Chapter 365 Closing the Gate, Releasing Tanjiro
Hearing someone calling him, Tengen Uzui turned around and saw Scribe and Tanjiro.
"Isn't this the magnificent Mister Scribe? When did you return?"
While chatting with Scribe, he didn't forget to talk to the girl on his shoulder.
"It's so noisy, shut up."
Perhaps startled by him, the girl instinctively shut her mouth.
However, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead told everyone that she was not at peace inside.
The other little girl kept screaming and struggling desperately to escape.
"Eek!"
Behind them, Tsuyuri Kanao, Terauchi Kiyou Nakahara Sumi of the Butterfly Mansion, and Sumire Nakahara stood in place.
"Let them go!"
"Please stop immediately."
Judging from their hesitant yet somewhat fearful expressions, they were clearly intimidated.
Seeing this, the Scribe originally wanted to take action, but after glancing at Kanao Tsuyuri, he withdrew his right foot that had stepped out.
Not only that, he also gestured to Tanjiro was standing nearby, not to move.
"Wait until I give you the signal before you act."
Although he didn't know why the Scribe was doing this, Tanjiro nodded nonetheless.
After doing all this, he silently walked to the door and closed it.
Seeing that her cries were useless, Kanzaki Aoi could only place her hopes on her best friend.
"Kanao... Kanao Tsuyuri!"
With a face full of terror, Kanzaki Aoi, perched on her shoulder, reached out her hands to Kanao Tsuyuri for help.
Seeing her friend plead for help, Kanao Tsuyuri had been silent all along, was even more at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
"Pillar, superior officer, resistance is not an option."
"Aoi, my friend, we should go and save her."
"Orders cannot be disobeyed; we cannot stand idly by."
"Tasks are the priority, but the overall situation is paramount."
In the blink of an eye, her forehead was covered in sweat.
"What should I do...?"
With his head down, his eyes darted around, and his breathing became rapid.
Kanao Tsuyuri, who has always been used to following orders, is now facing the most difficult choice of her life.
Should one follow orders or act according to their own conscience?
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"The path of life is one that you walk yourself. If it's not your own choice, then listening to others won't take you far."
Looking up, Kanao Tsuyuri saw the Scribe.
The other person had a slight smile on their face, as if they were saying something to her.
After seeing the Scribe's smile, Kanao Tsuyuri seemed to understand.
Ultimately, she made her own choice.
He quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab Aoi and Takada Naho.
Seeing that Kanao Tsuyuri had actually taken action, both Terauchi Kiyou and Nakahara Sumi showed expressions of surprise.
Because, in their previous interactions, Kanao Tsuyuri had never disobeyed any orders.
But now, for the sake of her friend, she has chosen to stop it.
Moreover, it was to block a pillar!
"Ah?"
Realizing he had been stopped, a hint of helplessness appeared on Tengen Uzui's face.
After sighing, she turned to look at Kanao Tsuyuri.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot and grab me. You should have received the instructions too."
But at this moment, Kanao Tsuyuri n't have the courage to answer. She was already surprised by her choice to simply intervene.
Looking at Kanao Tsuyuri, who was still clinging to him tightly but remained silent, Tengen felt both angry and helpless.
"Say something, you blockhead! You're not dapper at all!"
He roared, startling everyone present.
Terauchi Kiyou and Nakahara Sumi seemed to be startled by the roar, raising their hands and rushing over.
"Charge! Charge!"
While shouting, she hugged Tengen Uzui's arms and legs with her body.
Surrounded by the girls from the Butterfly Mansion, Tengen Uzui could only twist his body, hoping to shake them off.
If you use your true strength, escaping will naturally not be a problem.
But this wasn't a battle; the opponents were all their own medical personnel, who had almost no fighting ability.
Moreover, Kanao Tsuyuri is the stepson of both Kocho Sisters, so Tengen Uzui can't afford to be too harsh on him.
Let go, let go!
"You guys are so annoying!"
"That's enough, it's not elegant at all!"
Scribe found the sight of the group "wrestling" together quite amusing.
After laughing it off, he knew it was time for him to make his move.
After all, the goal of training Kanao Tsuyuri has been achieved.
Hopefully, she will change after this.
With that thought in mind, the Scribe took a step forward.
In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot.
He only felt a lightness in his body, and by the time Tengen Uzui reacted, Kanzaki Aoi, Terauchi Kiyou, and the other two people on his body had disappeared.
Even Kanao Tsuyuri, who was behind him, appeared a few steps away.
He instinctively made a few grabbing motions in the air, then looked at the Scribe who was comforting Kanzaki Aoi.
"What a magnificent speed."
Despite being wary of the Scribe, he still didn't realize that the Scribe had made a move.
This was a speed that even someone like myself, a ninja by training, would find unforgettable.
"Okay, stop crying."
Scribbling down, Scribe patted Kanzaki Aoi's head and comforted her.
"If a girl cries too much, no boy will like her anymore."
"But, but..."
Kanzaki Aoi wanted to say something, but tears welled up in her eyes.
She threw herself into the Scribe's arms and burst into tears.
"Mister Scribe Sound Hashira, he... he came up here and tried to take me away!"
Seeing her friend rescued, Kanao Tsuyuri wanted to come over and comfort her.
But seeing the other person wailing in Scribe's arms, she hesitated for a moment and still did not take any action.
However, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes as he looked at the two of them.
Takada Naho, standing beside him, wiped away her tears and sobbed to the Scribe.
"That's right, that's right! He's arresting people randomly! Mister Scribe, please save us!"
That's not how it's said!
With a change in expression, Tengen Uzui quickly offered an explanation.
"You silly brat, didn't I tell you the reason before?"
He took two steps forward, intending to teach Nao a "lesson".
At this moment, the Scribe suddenly spoke up.
"Tanjiro, I've closed the door for you, aren't you going to make a move?"
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tanjiro had been waiting impatiently, responded and suddenly charged forward.
He leaped to the front of the Sound Hashira and tilted his head back.
Then, it slammed down hard!
Chapter 366 I Have a Better and More Suitable Person (Ghost)
Faced with Tanjiro's attack, Tengen Uzui's face remained calm.
After glancing at it silently, she shifted her body slightly.
Immediately afterwards, his body disappeared from Tanjiro's sight.
When he reappeared, he was standing on the door frame.
The disappointment of missing his target made Tanjiro feel somewhat uneasy.
His body instinctively leaned forward and crashed to the ground.
At that moment, a hand appeared and grabbed the back of his collar.
"Help Tanjiro, who almost fell, to his feet, "the Scribe said.
"Next time you make a move, you need to predict the enemy's movement trajectory to improve your hit rate."
"Yes, I understand."
