Eighth Crown

Chapter 89 - I have a deal with him



“Chong!”

The short-lived sound of steel clashes quickly extinguished, but it broke into Tanjirou’s ears on the ground like a lingering sound that lingered for three days, causing his complexion to change immediately.

“Cangmimu-kun…Are you protecting this ghost?”

Hu Dieren missed a hit, and the whole person floated aside like a fluttering butterfly, and then looked at Liu Xia with surprised eyes.

Liu Xia turned around and looked at Hu Dieren, and at the same time, he also protected Tanjirou and Nezuko behind him again.

This was the second time in this month that Liu Xia protected their brother and sister in front of Zhu.

“I said from Mr. Purgatory that when he was in Asakusa, Tokyo, Kuramime-kun seemed to have fought against Mr. Purgatory because he wanted to protect a pair of siblings whose younger sisters had turned into ghosts.”

Hu Diren’s gaze crossed Liu Xia’s and fell on Tanjiro and Nezuko, who were struggling to get up from the ground, and their eyes became interested.

“Could it be that this pair of siblings is the one you sheltered at the time? If so, then Cangmi-kun is really responsible!”

Hu Dieren looked at Liu Xia’s three people’s eyes and became obscure and inexplicable, “In all fairness, if this ghost lady really didn’t eat people, as the report said, I can’t do anything to her… But I should bring them here. Wouldn’t it be better to hand them over to the lord for judgment?”

Hu Diren doesn’t seem to have the idea of ​​continuing to attack Nedouzi, perhaps because of her own heart, or because she knows that she is not Liu Xia’s opponent.

But she also disapproved of letting the two go away just like that.

The solution she proposed was the same as the original Purgatory Kyojuro, which was to bring Nedouko and Tanjiro back to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Squad and hand it over to the Demon Slayer Squad as the leader for judgment.

“Ghost Killing Team Headquarters…”

Tanjirou held Nezuko in his arms, holding Nezuko’s hand slightly tighter.

Unexpectedly, after only ten days apart, the two brothers and sisters were once again targeted by the powerhouses of the ghost killing team. Is there really no place for their brothers and sisters in the ghost killing team?

What to do this time? Do you have to ask Liu Xia to help, block this young lady, and let them take the opportunity to escape.

“Can.”

However, contrary to Tanjiro’s expectations, in the face of Hu Diren’s proposal, Liu Xia did not refute, and even agreed directly.

And, as if to appease the emotions of their brothers and sisters, they continued: “The Lord has long known about their brothers and sisters, and has also talked to me. I believe he will give everyone a satisfactory answer.”

“Tanjirou, are you willing to believe me?”

Liu Xia turned around and looked at Tanjirou who was behind him.

“If it wasn’t for you, it would have been impossible for my brother and sister to escape in Asakusa.”

Tanjirou took a deep breath, his eyes firmed, “So, if it’s Ryuxia-chan… I’m willing to believe you!”

“You should be satisfied with this result, Miss Hu Die?”

Liu Xia nodded and looked at Hu Dieren again.

“The result was beyond my expectations. I thought Cang Mimu-kun planned to make a bet with me just like Mr. Purgatory at that time, and then beat me and let them escape.”

Hu Dieren’s face showed the same gentle smile as always, “It’s foolproof, there’s no problem, forgive me for my rudeness.”

“That’s good.”

Liu Xia paused and continued: “I have killed the strongest ghost on the mountain. This operation is almost over. First gather the team, then go back to the headquarters together and report to the lord.”

When the sky gradually brightened, the entire Spider Mountain had been swept away.

All the ghosts were killed, Ryuxia killed the alien spider ghost and two ghosts, the new one, Tanjirou also killed one when he entered the mountain, my wife Zenitsu killed one, and the last one planned to escape, As a result, he was directly beheaded by the chestnut flower Luo Chanai who was specially guarding the rear.

Tanjirou and Zenitsu, as well as the boar-headed boy, and even those who turned into human-headed spiders, all the wounded were handled properly by the hidden members, most of them were wrapped in bandages, placed on stretchers, and taken to The Ghost Slayer Headquarters.

Nezuko entered the wooden box again because she was afraid of the sun, and was carried by Liu Xia herself.

…………

By the time Tanjirou woke up from his slumber, it was already dawn, and the sun hung high in the sky, throwing light and heat on the earth.

Imprinted in his eyes is a wide courtyard, the ground is paved with smooth white gravel, and there is a towering ancient tree several meters high not far away.

At this moment, he was lying on a stretcher, with many bandages wrapped around his body and forehead, making him look like a caterpillar.

“you’re awake?”

The familiar indifferent voice came from beside him, Tanjirou turned his head reluctantly, and saw the figure of Ryuxia sitting next to him, the wooden box containing Nezuko was placed beside the stretcher.

“here it is?”

Tanjirou turned his head with difficulty and looked around.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I was startled when I saw it. In this wide courtyard, there are already quite a few weirdos gathered here.

Among them, there is a long yellow and red hair and a flame-patterned cape. The ghost killing team [Yanzhu] Purgatory Kyojuro who had met once in Asakusa Prefecture, Tokyo.

There are also strong men dressed as monks, blind in both eyes, holding rosary beads in their hands, and whispering ‘Namo Amitabha Buddha’.

And the beautiful girl with cherry-pink braided long hair, wearing an open-chested dress that makes an innocent boy like Tanjiro very shy, but she doesn’t know why, but at this moment, her eyes are particularly timid when she looks at this side, as if she is afraid. like something.

In addition, there was the woman whom Liuxia called “Hu Die Ninja” whom she had seen on Spider Mountain, and the young man beside her who was wearing different haori on the left and right.

“Mr. Tomioka?”

Tanjirou saw the water column, and his eyes were slightly taken aback.

“This is the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Squad. All the members of the Ghost Slaying Squad gathered there, and without exception, they are all pillar-level powerhouses.”

Ryuxia sat cross-legged on the ground and introduced Tanjirou like this: “About your brothers and sisters, it seems that the leader of the Demon Slayer team intends to explain to all the pillars, so the Zhuhe meeting was held.”

“Don’t worry, the Lord will not embarrass you, I have made an agreement with him.”

Ryuxia did have an agreement with Yoya Zaiyashiki, but Yoya Zaiyashiki himself did not have the idea of ​​​​doing it with the Tanjirou brothers and sisters. However, in Ryuxia’s words, the idea of ​​Yoya Zaiyashiki was deliberately ignored, and only selective mention was made. Following his agreement with him, Tanjirou preconceived that Ryukka had helped them to the greatest extent possible.

This kind of argument is of course to maximize his gratitude to Tanjirou. In this way, what he intends to get from him in the future, even if it is something as precious as [Initial Breath], I think he will not refuse it. .

“Hey, I can’t pretend I haven’t heard this before!”

As if hearing Liu Xia’s words, two people came in again from outside the house, and one of them’s high-pitched voice rushed towards Liu Xia.

“This kind of gorgeous agreement, why don’t you talk to me now, Lord Yusui Tianyuan!”
