Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 12 - Yoshiyuki Tomioka and Goto
……

mountain top.

The door of the stove door,
"Dong dong!"

A dull knock sounded from outside the wooden door, followed by a calm male voice:

"Please open the door."

"I'm Yoshiyuki Tomioka from the Demon Slayer Squad."

"Please tell me the details of being attacked by a ghost."

The tone of the visitor's voice did not fluctuate, and it was full of undeniable meaning.

behind the door.

"Huh...huh..." Saburo, who had just dragged the Zaomen father and son into the house, was exhausted, sweating profusely, and could not utter a word.

He looked in the direction of the sound coming from the door, squatted in the entrance, and looked back at the unconscious father and son.

--what to do.

Grandpa Saburo was very anxious. He had never heard of such things as the Ghost Killing Squad and Tomioka Giyuu.

This place was attacked by a ghost just now, it can't be some weird person who came here, right?
Thinking of this, Saburo stared at the door, picked up the ax next to him, raised his arms, and held his breath.

……

Outside.

Ok?
Passed out?
After waiting for a while, I found that there was no response.

"Dong dong."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki standing outside the door, his eyes did not change, he stretched out his hand again, knocked on the door twice, and repeated what he just said:
"Please open the door."

"I know there are people in there."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki stood in front of the door, his face was expressionless and serious:
"If the door is not opened again, for safety's sake, I will break in."

"Please open the door."

Finally, after this sentence.

It's like choking speechlessly.

creak...

The old wooden door slowly opened a gap, and the people inside showed half of their faces, carefully observing Tomioka Yoshiyuki through the gap.

"...Ghost Killing Squad?"

Grandpa Saburo poked out his eyes cautiously, with cold sweat on his forehead, and looked up at Tomioka Yoshiyuki, who was standing high and blocking the sun.

His body hidden behind the door trembled slightly, especially when he had just spent a lot of time climbing the mountain, his legs trembled especially badly.

——It really is a weirdo!

San Lang was thinking like this, but the other party forced to open the door if he couldn't open it.

Who would do such a thing!

This is someone else's house!

San Lang tremblingly observed each other.

Long black hair tied together at the shoulders, wearing a two-color hexagram haori, and a knife hanging from his waist!

With a knife?

Grandpa Saburo looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, hesitantly swallowed his saliva, a little nervous, and said hoarsely:
"Excuse me... are you a police officer?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at the door with only a gap open, and shook his head slightly:
"No, I'm Yoshiyuki Tomioka from the Demon Slayer Squad."

Saburo heard the words, opened his mouth slightly, his lips trembling, and expressed his doubts:

"Oh, like this…"

"Ghost Killing Squad...what is it?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki frowned slightly, lowered his head and looked at Saburo, his eyes were empty, and he was silent.

Saburo looked at Giyu Tomioka, waiting for his answer.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka looked at Saburo and stopped talking.

Saburo froze for a moment, and looked at the silent Tomioka Yoshiyuki.

——?
A question mark gradually rose on the top of Grandpa Sanlang's head, as if the doubts turned into real doubts gathered in his heart.

——This guy, what's going on?

— Weird person.

Just when the two were eye-to-eye at the door.

"That...Master Tomioka?"

A question came from behind Yoshiyuki Tomioka.

Saburo's eyes immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

——It was a man in black, and he was carrying a wooden box on his back.

His face was covered by a thick black cloth, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

The position of the station was too far away, so Saburo, who only observed the outside world from the crack of the door, didn't see the existence of the man in black at all.

At this moment, the man in black is raising his head, only his eyes are exposed on his whole face, and his eyes are full of helplessness when he looks at Yoshiyuki Tomioka:

"Master Tomioka, why don't you let me explain."

He tried his best to suppress the faint blue veins on his forehead.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at the man in black beside him, he pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly towards him:
"please."

Saburo's expression became more and more puzzled, and his eyes moved back and forth between the man in black and Yoshiyuki Tomioka.

Seeing this, the man in black nodded, then leaned his face towards the crack of the door, sighed slightly, looked at Saburo, and explained with a smile:

"Hello."

"My name is Goto, and I belong to the Demon Slayer Squad logistics organization Hikari."

Saburo frowned slightly, he didn't speak, but felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing Saburo's expression, Goto did not stop explaining, but continued:

"Ghost Killing Squad, simply put, is an organization that has existed since ancient times to hunt 'ghosts'."

"As for the 'ghost', you should have seen it just now."

Goto said, maintaining his own smile, trying to soften his voice as much as possible, and raised his chin, motioning towards the room:

"I'm Yin, and I'm mainly responsible for dealing with the injuries of the wounded and dealing with the aftermath."

"Just now I saw that there seemed to be two wounded people. Can I go in and deal with them urgently? If it is delayed for a long time, something serious may happen."

Saburo stared blankly at Goto and Tomioka Yoshiyuki, he was a little dazed, only Goto's words "an organization that exists to hunt ghosts" rang in his mind.

Snapped!
He suddenly stretched out his hand from behind the door, grabbed Goto's arm, stared at Goto in a daze, and his tone was a little shocked:

"You guys, can you kill ghosts!"

"No, does such an organization exist?!"

Goto looked at Saburo who was holding him tightly, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he also held Saburo's arm.

Snapped!
"Father!"

Goto put his hand on Saburo's shoulder. At this moment, the door was open and he could pass through the distance of one person. He shook Saburo a little:

"The wounded, the wounded is still inside!"

"Let's go in first, shall we?"

Saburo was a little dazed, as if he was getting old and couldn't turn his head around a little.

"Old man!" Goto slightly exerted himself.

Saburo was a little confused by Akira Goto, he looked at Goto in a daze, then subconsciously nodded his head, moved away:
"Ah... oh... oh oh! Please come in."

"Thank you." Goto sighed, then nodded to Saburo, and walked into the room: "Excuse me."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka remained silent and followed closely behind.

Saburo looked at the backs of the two entering the room, seemed to think of something, and said quickly:

"This is the home of the two of them. I'm just here to help. Be careful not to touch anything."

"Understood." Goto's voice came slowly.

……

inside the house.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka and Saburo stood behind Goto and watched.

"Tanjirou is fine, but his hands and feet are frostbitten, and he will be fine after a while of sleep."

The box that Goto was carrying was already placed on the ground, and a row of drawers was pulled out horizontally, and all of them were opened.

He knelt down on the ground, leaning over Kamado Tanjuro.

There were all kinds of things in the box. At this moment, Goto was holding a stethoscope and listening to Kamado Tanjuro's chest.

After all, Tanjuro was holding the sword. From Goto's point of view, there should be a battle, and the possibility of injury is very high.

So the diagnosis is very careful.

Goto then took out a small wooden stick from the box, quickly opened Tanjuro's mouth, and skillfully manipulated and observed it.

Then he lifted Tanjuro's eyelids and observed.

"There is no dilation of the pupils, no problems with the gums...the internal organs are not injured, and the pulse is stable..."

Goto straightened up slowly.

He had already checked Tanjirou and Tanjuro's bodies.

The worry contained in the eyes slowly dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief:

"These two guys."

"It wasn't hurt at all."

At this time.

"...cough cough cough! That...cough cough..."

Tanjiro opened his eyes in a daze.
