Tokyo Asakusa Prefecture
When she looked towards Yu Xian, Yu Xian saw clearly that there was a big word "" carved in her right eye.
The Twelve Kizuki, the Lower Rank Four.
The Twelve Kizuki are the twelve most powerful demons under Muzan Kibutsuji.
The six Upper Moon demons are extremely powerful and have remained unchanged for a hundred years.
While the six Lower Moons are quite strong, they are frequently replaced for various reasons.
For example, this Lower Rank Four in front of us—after tonight, Muzan Kibutsuji will be looking for another Lower Rank Four.
If she offends Yuxian, she might still have a chance to escape; but if she offends the children, she definitely won't be able to escape.
If this Lower Rank Four demon manages to escape tonight, Yuxian will not bother looking for him and will immediately return to Chaldea.
These six children together Tokyo. Who gave this Lower Rank Four the audacity to spout such nonsense?
Sure enough, Little Jack had already slipped behind Lower Rank Four without Yuxian noticing, completely cutting off her escape route.
It's the middle of the night, and this Lower Rank Four happens to be a woman.
If Jack hadn't changed so much, Lower Rank Four would already be counting her entrails on the ground right now.
Yuxian remained completely calm, his expression unmoved.
However, Kanroji Mitsuri thought differently. She was very anxious to attack the Lower Rank Four, trying to prevent her from having the strength to attack Yuxian and his group.
Despite her small stature and lack of imposing stature, Kanroji Mitsuri's body density is eight times that of an average person. When she tenses her body, she not only greatly enhances her defense but also gains strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person.
Love Breathing, Fifth Form: Wavering Love, Chaotic Claws.
Kanroji Mitsuri brandished her Nichirin Blade, unleashing a flurry of random slashes as she moved Lower Rank Four.
The soft blade created a blur of afterimages as it swayed erratically, making the direction of the attack extremely difficult to predict. Even Kanroji Mitsuri herself couldn't control the direction of the blade's strike.
However, Lower Rank Four showed no intention of backing down. Relying on her ability to regenerate limbs, she endured several minor slashes and instead launched an attack on Kanroji Mitsuri.
Kanroji Mitsuri lost her composure in her haste and was instead caught off guard by her opponent.
She barely dodged the fatal blow and could only rely on her own physical strength to withstand it.
Pfft!
Just as Lower Rank Four was about to succeed, an arrow struck her palm.
The immense inertia caused Lower Rank Four's attack to deviate from its original direction, leaving a hole in her palm that was wide enough for a line of sight to pass through.
Kanroji Mitsuri and Lower Rank Four were both startled by the arrow, and they looked in the direction from which it had come.
"Whoosh!"
Kuro put down his bow and arrow and calmly whistled.
That arrow was clearly her doing.
"Big-appetite older sister, how about we give her to you?" Little Jeanne stepped forward and negotiated with Kanroji Mitsuri.
Before Kanroji Mitsuri could reply, Little Jeanne shouted at Lower Rank Four again, "Hey! Didn't you want to eat us? If you can defeat us, we'll obediently let you eat us, how about that?"
"No, no, she's no ordinary demon, she's the Lower Rank Four, you're no match for her."
Although she already knew these children were extraordinary, Kanroji Mitsuri was still reluctant to entrust the demons in front of her to them. It was their duty as members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and they couldn't let ordinary people take risks.
Kuro comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I could take on ten of them with one hand!"
"You're not allowed to interfere. I'll deal with her with just one hand today, hmph!"
Kuro was saying this to the other children; she had already made the boast, so of course she had to keep it.
Gretel immediately retorted, "I could beat a hundred of her without lifting a finger."
Of course she doesn't need to lift a finger; the Jabberwocky does it for her!
"Alice, are you going to tear this whole street down? There will be nowhere to sleep!"
Kuro glared at Gretel, showing no humility whatsoever, and she also knew that Yuxian would not let Gretel make a move.
"Okay, okay." Gretel was a little dejected. She muttered softly, "The Jabberwocky is so stupid, it can't even shrink a little bit."
The Jabberwocky claimed it was innocent.
"Huh? Where did this brat come from, so arrogant? Well then, let me eat you first!"
Enraged by the children's disregard, Lower Rank Four launched an attack on Kuro.
As promised, Kuro only used Gan Jiang in his right hand to fight her.
However, Kuro was not used to using only one hand, and for a while, he did not gain an advantage in the battle.
On the contrary, it was because of some carelessness that the Lower Rank Four was able to seize the opportunity.
If it weren't for her ability to teleport, she would probably be injured.
"Kuro, are you sure you can handle this?!"
"Hurry up, it's so late, I'm so sleepy!"
"Exactly, exactly, if it doesn't work, we'll take over."
The children expressed their doubts about Kuro and made sarcastic remarks about her.
Kuro was furious. She should have been able to defeat the evil spirit in front of her easily, but because of her boastful words, she hadn't been able to finish it for so long.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Kuro angrily retorted, "It'll be ready soon! What's with the rush!"
She no longer kept her word, and with both hands Gan Jiang Mo Ye and Mo Xie, she threw them forward with force.
Projection another pair of identical Gan Jiang Mo Ye into his hand, then tossed them forward again, blocking all of Lower Rank Four's escape routes.
Crane Wing Triple Strike!
Wielding two swords, she combined them with the four swords in front of her and instantly struck down Lower Rank Four.
"Isn't that better? Can't you guys have a little patience?!"
Although he had defeated the evil spirit, Kuro Hei was not happy at all. He pouted and went back into the house without saying a word.
Yuxian smiled helplessly, then led the others back to their rooms to continue sleeping.
Kanroji Mitsuri looked completely bewildered.
What's going on? Is that all?
She was completely focused just now, afraid that something might go wrong.
Having finished off the Lower Rank Four lying on the ground in a daze, Kanroji Mitsuri still doesn't understand what happened.
She pinched her cheek, her eyes glazed over, and muttered, "Am I dreaming?"
Chapter 7, Section 320 Asakusa Ward, Tokyo)
The sun is already high in the sky, and it's getting late.
Yuxian party, whose rest had been disturbed last night, got up very late.
As they walked into the hotel lobby to have their meal, a voice came from a corner of the lobby.
"Here! Here!"
Kanroji Mitsuri stretched her hand high to greet Yu Yuxian; she had been waiting for them there since early morning.
Last night, when she got home, she felt something was wrong and couldn't sleep well all night, so she came here early this morning to wait.
Yuxian walked in the direction of Kanroji Mitsuri, glanced at her, and thought, "Well, well!"
She wasn't bored at all while waiting. She sat alone at a table that was full of food, some of which was empty and some of which was still in the table. There wasn't a single empty space.
"You guys should come and eat with us, the meatballs at this shop are pretty good."
Kanroji Mitsuri greeted Yuxian and the others warmly, while her hands continued to move, stuffing food into her mouth.
"Boss, ten more servings... twenty more servings!"
She glanced at the little food left on the table and quickly shouted to the owner.
Yuxian didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat. Anyway, they didn't eat much, and most of the food had to be taken care of by Kanroji Mitsuri.
"You guys are amazing. Last night, you took down Lower Rank Four so easily. I didn't even have time to react."
After finishing their meal, Kanroji Mitsuri began to talk about what happened last night.
"Of course! We are extremely capable!"
Before Yuxian could even be modest, the children immediately accepted her praise as a matter of course.
"Big-appetite sister, can we see your sword?" The children hadn't been able to get Tomioka Giyuu's Nichirin Blade last time, but this time they finally had another chance.
"Nichirin Blade? Here you go!"
Kanroji Mitsuri was much more straightforward than Tomioka Giyuu; she unhesitatingly took off her Nichirin Blade from her waist and gave it to the children.
Wow! It's soft.
"Won't it break easily like this?"
"It looks really thin, Jack, you should try it."
Several children gathered around, commenting on Kanroji Mitsuri's Nichirin Blade.
Jack actually took out his dagger to try and cut the Nichirin Blade, just to test its hardness.
Upon seeing Yuxian immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't move around. If you really damage it, you'll have to pay for it."
He dared not let Jack use his dagger to cut Kanroji Mitsuri's Nichirin Blade. Jack's dagger would definitely be fine, but the Nichirin Blade was another story.
The children ultimately did not test whether the soft knife was sturdy enough and returned it to Kanroji Mitsuri.
After a pleasant conversation, Kanroji Mitsuri bid farewell to everyone, as she needed to return and report on the mission.
Yuxian then began to explore Tokyo, searching for clues.
Compared to Kyoto, this area is much larger, as it is a newly built capital city with wider streets and a more rational layout.
Yuxian decided to start his search from the center, since such a change in Year 47 of the Meiji Era must have occurred at the political center.
If we can really find that participant, it will be a great help. After all, this involves the resources of an entire nation, and finding a few people would be a piece of cake.
However, reality cruelly dealt Yuxian blow. How could he possibly get close to the true political center? It was already difficult enough to investigate from afar, and the slightest carelessness would arouse suspicion of ulterior motives.
It's really difficult to move forward.
There was absolutely no way to obtain real information by relying on this method, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood from hearsay. For a time, he was in a predicament.
Sitting on a bench by the street, Yuxian sighed, "It seems this won't work."
"It's alright, senior, we'll definitely find a way."
Mash comforted Yuxian, telling him not to be discouraged.
"Forget it, let's look around the surrounding area slowly. Maybe we'll find something unexpected."
Since there's no way to get to the center, we have to change direction.
Tokyo so big, this is just a very small part of it.
Yuxian, just like in Kyoto, we took the children sightseeing while also asking around for information.
He didn't believe that the Chaldea, with their abilities, would be buried among the vast crowd.
They are all people with glorious deeds, and no matter where they go, they will surely shine again. Yuxian has no doubt about this.
Asakusa Ward, Tokyo.
Yuxian brought the children here.
Even at this time, the streets centered around Senso-ji Temple were already very lively.
The streets were bustling with people, and various vendors were selling all sorts of items, including food and toys.
