I'm counting on you

Who is it?

Murata called out, and then, being the strongest and closest to the door, he opened it without hesitation.

Upon seeing the figure at the door, Murata instinctively stood up straight.

"Lord Kato!"

Inside the room, Tanjiro Zenitsu immediately stood up after hearing the sound.

"Mr. Kato!"

After Teiichi and smiling at the group, Dingyi looked at Tanjiro.

"Tanjiro, let's go, something happened!"

"Huh? What's up?"

Tanjiro asked in confusion, but his feet immediately followed.

On the way, Tanjiro looked at Teiichi and asked:

"Mr. Kato, is there something you need?"

Teiichi replied, "You'll find out soon enough!"

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Under Tanjiro's questioning gaze, Teiichi led him to Nezuko's room.

Thump, thump!

A familiar knocking sounded on the door.

Soon, soft footsteps could be heard from inside the house.

Then, with a click, the door opened a crack.

Nezuko tilted her head, her pink pupils peering through the crack in the door to observe the situation outside.

As soon as they could see the figure outside, the crack in the door widened rapidly.

"Good evening!"

"Good evening!"

Teiichi smiled and responded, then reached out and ruffled Nezuko's hair.

Nezuko, come with us!

"Um!"

Nezuko nodded without asking why.

Seeing that even Nezuko had been reconnected, Tanjiro understood a little better.

It seems like it's something related to Nezuko again!

I think I was only called here because I'm Nezuko's guardian.

The three of them walked towards the tea room.

Before they even reached the tea room, Tanjiro's nose twitched slightly.

This smell is... ghostly!

But this smells so familiar...

Tanjiro thought...

I quickly searched my memory.

Soon, two figures were etched into Tanjiro's mind.

Very good!

It's Miss Tamayo and Yushiro!

Tanjiro's eyes lit up, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, but it quickly faded as he began to worry about Tamayo and the others.

Tamayo and Yushiro are demons, so why are they at the Butterfly Mansion?

Is this okay?

No, it's obvious that Mr. Kato brought me here to meet Ms. Tamayo along with Nezuko.

In other words, he already knew about Ms. Tamayo's existence.

In that case, Ms. Tamayo is definitely fine.

Thinking of this, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief.

In an instant, he understood Tamayo's purpose in visiting the Butterfly Mansion.

Tamayo wants demon blood. Now that Nezuko isn't afraid of the sun, her blood might be even more precious than the Upper Rank's blood...

While Tanjiro was pondering, the three of them soon arrived at the tea room.

Yushiro, who was also idly sitting in the tea room, was the first to notice the arrival of the three.

Tanjiro and Yushiro happily raised his hand and waved.

"Yushiro, it's been a long time!"

Yushiro was taken aback at first, but he immediately turned his head away arrogantly and ignored Tanjiro.

Seeing this, Tanjiro awkwardly lowered his hand.

Yushiro is still the same as before!

Tamayo, however, heard Tanjiro's words Tanjiro, turned around, and greeted him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Tanjiro!"

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro raised his hand, which was halfway down, again and laughed:

"It's been a long time, Ms. Tamayo!"

Seeing that Tanjiro was still as cheerful as before, Tamayo smiled with relief.

Her gaze drifted toward Nezuko, who was standing next to Tanjiro.

Unlike Tanjiro, Nezuko gave her a completely different feeling.

Nezuko really... overcame the sunlight!

Yoshiwara Entertainment District.

"Welcome to Ogimoto House again, sir!!"

The madam, dressed in a kimono, smiled and bowed to the customer before her.

"Ah, I'll come again!"

Tengen Uzui gave a casual reply, then left the Ogimoto House and wandered aimlessly through the streets.

"After investigating for so long, have you still not found any information about ghosts?"

"To be honest, after investigating for so long, I still don't even know if this ghost is male or female!"

"Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss; at least we've identified the areas with the highest frequency of ghost activity."

Tengen Uzui turned slightly, looking at the shop he had just left in the distance.

"The target's main area of activity should be within these three establishments: Ogimoto House, Kyogoku House, and Toki House."

"However, despite going so many times, I still haven't found any trace of the ghost, not even a hint of its presence."

"It seems this ghost's ability to conceal its presence is far superior to that of ordinary ghosts!"

"So how can we find them?"

Tengen Uzui was deep in thought.

If even he, as a Pillar, couldn't find this demon...

Relying on ordinary team members would definitely be even less hopeful.

What about the other pillars?

Himejima, Tomioka, Shinazugawa, Iguro...

The images of each pillar flashed through Tengen Uzui's mind.

It seems that none of the pillars are particularly skilled at searching.

Furthermore, having been a ninja himself, he would undoubtedly be the best in the Demon Slayer Corps at gathering intelligence.

Does that mean we can't rely on anyone else?

Tengen Uzui tapped his head, looking somewhat troubled.

If he could only rely on himself, Tengen Uzui began to think again.

"Ogimoto House, Kyogoku House, Toki House..."

"Ogimoto House, Kyogoku House, Toki House..."

"No, it's impossible to stay there all day if I'm just pretending to be a guest."

"This ghost might have just missed me."

"So, as long as we can stay in these few places, isn't that enough?"

Thinking of this, Tengen Uzui immediately changed direction and headed towards his home.

Uzui's family home.

"Wives, this is the situation! I'm counting on you guys this time!"

Tengen Uzui solemnly addressed his three wives before him.

"Lord Tengen, please rest assured, we will definitely find this demon!" said Hinatsuru.

Makio. "Yes, leave it to us!"

Suma nodded in agreement. "Yes, Lord Tengen, you can rest assured!"

"Hahaha... As expected of my wife, Tengen Uzui! So gorgeous!!"

Tengen Uzui laughed loudly, but his expression quickly turned serious again.

"Our opponents are cunning after all, so you still need to be careful."

Your own safety is the top priority!

If you encounter danger, make sure your own safety first!

Then consider other options based on that!

Suma moved upon hearing this, his gaze fixed intently on Tengen Uzui.

"Lord Tengen..."

The Hinatsuru nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, Lord Tengen!"

Have you forgotten?

We were once very skilled ninjas!

Although I am not as outstanding as you, Lord Tengen!

However, as long as it's not Upper Rank spring.

Normal Lower Rank.

Even if we can't win.

But if you want to run, there shouldn't be any problem!
