After parting Tengen Uzui, Inosuke returned to the Ogimoto House.
Wearing Boar's Head, he caused quite a few screams along the way.
However, he has no time to care about these people right now.
"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"
They hopped all the way back to the place where they had just lost track of the ghost.
In other words, it's a wall!
Without hesitation, Inosuke swiftly drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist.
Then.
boom!
There was a large hole in the wall, revealing a hollow pipe underneath.
In the distance, the group who had been secretly watching what Inosuke was about to do suddenly shouted upon seeing this.
"Oh no! That wild boar is smashing up the shop! What should we do?"
"Go and call the madam!"
"But that man has a knife! What good would calling the madam do?"
"Then go find the police!"
The screaming continued, but Inosuke had no interest in paying them any attention.
He leaned his head closer, peering through the empty pipe to see which way it led.
"Emmm... downstairs?"
Inosuke pulled his head back in and ran downstairs.
The actions just now have caused everyone else in the store to run outside.
There was no one left on the first floor at this time.
Inosuke arrived at the spot directly below the stairs he had just been standing at, and raised his twin swords once more.
The booming sound rang out again, blasting several meters ahead.
Finally, an opening appeared before Inosuke's eyes.
"Ha, so you ran away from here? Wash your neck and get ready!"
Inosuke laughed, sheathed his Nichirin Blade back at his waist, and leaped up, slamming his head straight into the cave entrance.
With a loud bang.
Inosuke placed his hands on the ground and, with a slight effort, pulled his head out of his mouth.
Looking at the hole, which was neither too big nor too small, Inosuke shook his head.
"Damn it! Did you think this would stop me?"
"I'm an old man who can disassemble every single joint!"
As he spoke, Inosuke straightened up, and his joints began to twist.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of joints dragging could be heard continuously.
After dislocating his joints, Inosuke slammed his head against the hole again.
This time, I managed to squeeze my entire body inside.
"Hahaha... Charge forward like a pig! Charge forward like a pig! Charge forward like a pig!"
Frenzied shouts echoed through the passage as Inosuke crawled forward along the narrow corridor.
After traveling for an unknown amount of time, a wide-open space suddenly appeared before us.
The rapid movement caused Inosuke to lose control, stray from the passage, and arrive at the top of the cave.
Below him, pink ribbons hung in the cave.
"This is..."
Inosuke muttered to himself, but his body, which was at the top of the cave, had already begun to fall.
Without thinking twice, Inosuke quickly maneuvered his body to flip once in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground.
With a twist, the dislocated joint was quickly put back in place.
He then quickly looked up, his gaze sweeping across the cavern.
However, besides the ribbons, all that could be found inside the cave were scattered bones.
"Tch, that guy Uzui was right, the ghost really isn't here anymore!"
Inosuke muttered to himself, then looked up and examined the ribbons hanging in the cave more closely.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that many of the ribbons were engraved with human figures.
"No, that's not right! Judging from the aura, it's a human!"
"Those must all be living, breathing people!"
"So, these ribbons can trap people inside?"
Inosuke muttered to himself as he tried to step forward to check the situation more closely.
However, after taking only two steps forward, a whooshing sound came from behind.
Inosuke swiftly dodged the attack, then looked at the person who had just attacked him...
Ah, no, what is this?
Gazing at the ribbon floating in mid-air, which had a mouth and two eyes.
"How disgusting! It looks like an earthworm!"
The ribbon swayed slightly in mid-air, its gaze fixed intently on Inosuke.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Having a Boar's Head is one thing, but why did you pop out of that tunnel?"
"Tch, it can even talk, how disgusting!" Inosuke said disdainfully, ignoring the ribbon.
The corner of the ribbon's mouth twitched. "You bastard, if you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
The ribbons that had been hanging quietly above suddenly rippled, like seaweed on the seabed encountering an undercurrent.
Whoosh whoosh!
With a sharp, slicing sound, several ribbons shot straight toward Inosuke at an astonishing speed.
Inosuke Flash backward like a nimble cheetah.
At the same moment, the Nichirin Blade at his waist was suddenly drawn.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the force of the ribbon smashed a deep crater into the spot where Inosuke had been standing.
After the ribbon missed its target, it did not give up immediately, but instead slightly lifted itself in place.
As if it were alive, it adjusted its posture again and shot even more swiftly towards the dodging Inosuke.
Inosuke took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and gathered all his strength into his hands, gripping the Nichirin Blade tightly and raising it high.
" Beast Breathing -Second Fang -Slice!"
A dazzling glint of light flashed in the dim cave.
The incoming ribbons were severed the moment they came into contact with the blade, the broken ribbons scattering in the air like falling flowers.
Inosuke did a somersault in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground.
Then, he pushed off backward with his feet and rushed towards the ribbon with eyes.
The ribbon seemed to sense the danger and involuntarily retreated slightly.
At the same time, he manipulated the remaining ribbons like a dense rain of arrows, attacking Inosuke from all directions.
" Beast Breathing, Eighth Form: Explosive Rush!"
Inosuke shouted, and his forward momentum not only didn't slow down, but actually increased.
Her figure weaved through the gaps in the ribbons, her Nichirin Blade flashing like a whirlwind.
The ribbons that shot towards them were all cleanly and neatly cut, and the crisp sound of the ribbons breaking echoed in the air.
In the blink of an eye, Inosuke was standing in front of the ribbon with eyes.
Raise both hands.
"Die, you earthworm monster!"
" Beast Breathing -Fourth Fang- Shattering Slash!"
Whoosh--!
A dazzling flash of light, like a shooting star, streaked across the sky, intertwining with the ribbon.
The blades flashed past, and with a crisp snapping sound, the pink ribbon with eyes was instantly cleaved in two, falling slowly to the ground.
Inosuke stood quietly on the ground, holding his Nichirin Blade. Just as he was about to sheathe the blade, the 'whoosh' sound came again.
Bang!
This time, the ground was smashed open by a tremendous force, creating an even wider crater.
A new ribbon slowly meanders down from above the cave.
Lush red lips and alluring eyes seemed to sprout anew from this ribbon.
