Goblins?!

"Hey, the party at the Sea Star's place should have already started, right?"

On a hillside to the south, Tengen Uzui looked up at the two moons in the night sky and thought to himself.

Behind him lay the dark forest he had come from.

He had originally prepared a spectacular show, ready to showcase his musical talent to audiences from multiple worlds.

But who would have thought that I would be assigned such a task?

He had actually suggested to Fukurokuju, the First Sea Shadow, that another Jonin replace him, but was told that he was irreplaceable.

The reason lies not only in considerations of strength, but also in his bond with Lord Ubuyashiki.

Based on previous experience.

If these former Demon Slayer Corps Pillars were to face a life-or-death crisis, Ubuyashiki would have a high probability of foresight, allowing the World Government to obtain more information about the future.

He was the only Pillar in the entire Sea Ninja Village.

Furthermore, Tengen Uzui was told that if he refused...

So the person who went in his place is very likely to be one of Iguro Obanai, Mitsuri Kanroji, or Muichiro Tokito, who were recently assigned to CIPHER POL No.2 and are responsible for teaching Breathing Technique to newcomers.

Therefore, Tengen Uzui ultimately chose to accept this mission to explore another world.

"Oh, you're back?"

Just then, a raven adorned with two strings of jewels and two black feathers sticking up from its head flew down from the star-studded night sky and landed on his raised right arm.

Tengen Uzui asked with a smile, "So, did you see any people or towns?"

No! No!

This crow, known as the 'Fashion leader among crows' in the Demon Slayer Corps, is his Karasu. He had previously instructed it to survey the larger area from the air.

The so-called '(song4)crow'.

These are 'Ninja Beast' that deliver information and intelligence to the Demon Slayer Corps. Basically, every Demon Slayer Corps member has their own Karasu.

They can not only speak human language, but also have the intelligence of a ten-year-old child, and can communicate with people very easily. Their personalities often seem to change with their owners.

Tengen Uzui was also responsible for training these Karasu and some other Ninja Beast within the Sea Ninja Village.

The Kappa, a supposedly Danger Beasts, brought by the recently joined ninjas from Shenhe Island, has now become one of the Ninja Beast being trained by the Sea Ninja Village.

However, their size is similar to that of humans, making them completely unsuitable for carrying out this kind of espionage mission.

"Yeah."

Just as Tengen Uzui sighed, the Karasu spoke again, "But I saw many corpses, human corpses!"

"Oh? Which direction?"

"West! West!"

The magnificent Karasu raised one of its dark wings and pointed westward, which made Tengen Uzui instinctively want to go and take a look, but he was stopped by Levi's voice coming through his earpiece.

"I've found a living person here. Should I take him back?"

Immediately following Biba Amatori's reply appeared.

"No need, just tell us your location and we'll head over. The camp's location shouldn't be exposed."

"I'm 800 meters north of the Star Gate point. There's a campfire here; you should be able to see a clear Huoguang."

Upon hearing this, Biba Amatori immediately gave the order, "Alright, Uzui Jonin, you and I will go check and Horobi. If we find nothing wrong, let's return to camp."

"Understood~"

Seeing this, Tengen Uzui had no choice but to abandon his plan to go west to check on the human corpses that Karasu had mentioned.

After all, the living people Levi finds are more valuable than the dead.

A few minutes later.

Biba Amatori and Tengen Uzui arrived at the forest clearing that had just witnessed a bloody massacre, and saw the burning campfire and the humans being barbecued on it.

What is most striking, of course, is the ground littered with the corpses of green-skinned creatures and the stench of blood.

On the other side were the neatly arranged remains of six human soldiers clad in metal armor, with Levi standing by watching them arrive.

Where are the living people?

Biba Amatori glanced around the room and roughly understood what had happened.

"It's him, he's still breathing."

Levi pointed to the 'soldier's remains' closest to him, then turned to the side to reveal the 'little green goblin' he had tied up with rope behind it.

"There are also these 'little green devils,' I spared one of them as well; they seem to possess intelligence close to that of a human."

"Little Green Goblin?"

Biba Amatori walked over and glanced at the green-skinned creature, whose face was filled with terror and despair, only to hear Levi calmly say, "That's the nickname I gave it."

At the same time, Tengen Uzui also came over with the Karasu perched on his shoulder.

But he made a sound of surprise the moment he saw the green-skinned creature.

"Hey, this looks like Goblins from Western European legends?!"

Of the three people present.

From birth, Biba Amatori Hinomoto subjected to the torment of the Kabane, and had no opportunity to come into contact with this kind of Western mythology.

Levi is the same.

Born into a low-level gangster on Paradis Island, everything he saw, heard, and thought about after joining the Survey Corps was related to Titans.

Their environment was essentially isolated from the mainland.

In the Demon Slayer World where Tengen Uzui is located, Japan Island Nation happens to be experiencing an unprecedented golden age since the Meiji Restoration.

That is, the early Taisho era.

With the constant influx of Oven, coupled with his keen interest in the 'Fashion world,' he naturally gained some understanding of Goblins, a Western fantasy creature.

"Could Uzui Jonin share what you know about Goblins?" Biba Amatori asked with a smile.

"Of course, Goblins are humanoid creatures commonly found in Western European legends or myths, often depicted as an evil race with malice towards humans."

Tengen Uzui gave a brief introduction to the Goblins.

"I see."

Biba Amatori and Levi seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this.

The latter thought to himself, "I knew this filthy thing wasn't some kind of Elf Race."

At this Biba Amatori said, "And this living person? He looks like he's suffered quite a few injuries."

"I just gave him a 'Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill,' and his injuries should have healed somewhat. He's just sleeping because he's exhausted," Levi replied calmly.

"Is that so? Then please wake him up. We need to talk."

"Good."

Levi nodded. He was Ackerman Clan, and his bloodline carried the instinct of absolute obedience to his superiors.

[Bang!]

Without saying a word, he raised his right foot and kicked the unconscious Otherworld soldier in front of him, sending him flying with a loud thud.

It rolled around on the blood-stained ground more than a dozen times before finally stopping, where it clutched its dented breastplate and screamed in agony.

"Woke up."

Levi said calmly.

"."

Biba Amatori and Tengen Uzui were momentarily speechless, with the latter finally asking, "Was it really necessary to be so rough?"

Levi simply replied:

"This is the fastest way, and I've controlled my power so he won't die. Besides, I saved him."

Biba Amatori shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, let's say a few words to him first. Hopefully we can understand each other, otherwise it'll be troublesome."
