Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 91 – Exchange of hands

inside the house.

Crack... crack...

Dim lights flickered on and off.

Tiny mosquitoes were flying around the old electric lights.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka was sitting in front of Mizukina who was sleeping soundly. He put the Japanese sword on the ground beside him and looked around blankly.

This is Mizuki's home.

Without any clues, Tomioka Yoshiyuki chose to wait here.

At this time.

click.

On the roof, there was the sound of metal objects colliding with tiles.

——There is something.

The ears moved slightly.

After hearing a slight creaking sound from the top of the head.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka raised his deep blue eyes and looked towards the roof.

As far as the eye can see, there is just one piece missing, and the tiles on it seem to be being moved.

Click—the tile was lifted.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki just raised his head and looked at the lifted tiles.

Yusui Tianhong, who had lifted the tiles on the roof, also happened to look down.

The two looked at each other with almost equally emotionless eyes for a moment.

——?
next moment.

Simultaneously.

click!
The roof tiles were slammed shut.

The Japanese sword beside Yoshiyuki Tomioka was unsheathed in an instant.

But at the moment of unsheathing, he hesitated.

His blue eyes seemed to reveal a puzzled expression.

--Humanity?
This hesitation didn't last long, he just paused, and immediately rushed out of the house and onto the street.

He turned his head and looked towards the roof.

Either way, this might be the only chance to get a clue.

Can't let him go.

After seeing clearly that the man hung his hands behind his back and ran quickly on the roof.

Giyuu Tomioka tapped his toes lightly, and the muscles in his legs tensed.

Swish!
Almost instantly, he jumped in the air, and after a leap, he easily passed the Yusui Tianhong on the roof and came in front of him.

The legs are slightly bent, and the force is relieved to the ground, landing on the roof.

laugh!
"Stop." Tomioka Yoshiyuki stood in front of Yusui Tianhong, and he inserted the sun wheel knife vertically between the tiles of the roof.

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.

Yusui Tianhong remained expressionless.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka is the same.

After really looking at each other closely with Yusui Tianhong.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki froze for a moment.

Looking at the headdress on the forehead of the person in front of him, and the barely visible face in the dark night, he thought of his movements when he was running just now.

In my mind, the familiar crazy figure gradually overlapped with the person in front of me.

"... Yu Sui?" He whispered suspiciously.

And while Tomioka Yoshiyuki was in a daze.

Yu Sui Tianhong has pulled out several small balls from the sleeve of his arm.

Throw it smoothly towards the roof in front of you.

The moment Maruko touched the roof and bounced, Tomioka Yoshiyuki also reacted.

He slammed on the ground with his forefoot and stepped back quickly.

pat.

The balls rolled and fell on the tiles.

Little sparks bloom around the rolling balls.

then.

boom! ! !
The huge smoke and dust mixed with the sound of the explosion immediately bloomed on the roof, setting off a slight wave of wind and spreading towards the surroundings.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka covered his mouth and nose with a haori, squinted his eyes and looked ahead where there was already a cloud of smoke.

When the smoke clears.

In the field of vision, there was no one on the roof in front of him.

He stopped at the same place, the blade of the Japanese wheel in his hand hung down, and Gujing Wubo's face showed a rare look of doubt.

Head tilted.

——Is this guy... Yusui?
Familiar headgear, familiar face, familiar escape moves...

but…

If it was Yu Sui, he would never be caught up by him...

After all, he runs fast.

And will definitely laugh and leave quite chicly.

Just when Yoshiyuki Tomioka was thinking like this.

His gaze suddenly stopped at the place where Yusui Tianhong disappeared.

——There was a broken piece of paper.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki walked over suspiciously, picked up the paper from the tile, and scanned the content on it.

on paper.

The word "Mizuki Nai" is very conspicuous.

And a string of specific information written below.

and--

He looked at the corner of the torn paper.

"Publisher... The Budokan is not allowed to pass it on..."

Seeing this, Yoshiyuki Tomioka suddenly realized.

——This is a bounty offered to Mizuki Nai by the Budokan who had received the "Exemption from Everyone" before and left the Budokan to create another apprentice of his own genre.

Fold the reward and put it in your clothes.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki jumped off the roof, and instead of chasing the man, he returned to Mizuki Nai's home.

He looked down at the sleeping guy in front of him who was not affected by the loud noise just now.

Encountered ghosts first, and now being targeted by people...

Just when Tomioka Yoshiyuki was about to sit down again.

"Ka!!"

His crow came in from outside the door, and stuck its head on the sleeping Mizukina's stomach.

"Pfft!" Mizukina, who was hit hard in the abdomen, sat up suddenly, and after turning her eyes white, she immediately lay back down.

This time it was no longer a deep sleep, but a coma.

"... Kansaburo!" Tomioka Yoshiyuki opened his mouth slightly, he glanced at Mizuki Nai in surprise, and quickly picked up his crow from the ground.

His crow is named Kansaburo, and it is an old crow.

Often confused.

Kansaburo shook his dizzy head, then looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka, Gaga said:

"Brave! Your lord is summoning you!"

"For all the pillars, if the task at hand is not urgent, a few low-level swordsmen will take over first!"

"Zhu, head to the headquarters to assemble!"

"Ka!!"

Hearing this, Tomioka Yoshiyuki was slightly taken aback.

Is something wrong...?
……

at the same time.

On the side of the fleeing Yusui Tianhong.

Da da da!
He alternated his legs quickly, running quickly from roof to roof.

His gaze was always focused on the direction behind him.

He has escaped a long distance, this is almost another city.

The mission failed.

It was discovered at the first step.

——Who is that person... I didn't have any information about him before.

In my mind, my father's deep voice slowly sounded.

"Ninjas should not have feelings, the value of existence is to perform tasks."

"If the mission fails..."

pat.

Yusui Tianhong's advancing steps suddenly stopped.

He stood still, with his head bowed, his expressionless face turned gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

half an hour.

Yusui Tianhong slowly opened her mouth.

Behind the molars is a touch of blue potion.

That's the drug ninjas use to commit suicide.

The moment he took the medicine after he crushed his molars.

A cold and strange tone came from the street beside him:
"Ah, ah, ah, what a pity."

"Isn't Your Excellency Yiwozuo in your residence..."

"Before I go back..."

Swish!
The cold breath approached instantly, and Yusui Tianhong's body stiffened suddenly.

"...Your headgear is nice."

……

……

The next day.

city ​​town.

After the arrival of the three C-level soldiers who were near the town, they took over Tomioka Yoshiyuki's currently suspended mission.

——Protect Mizukina.

Since the tasks that need to be performed by the pillars are all judged, they are quite dangerous tasks.

So after these tasks are taken over, they will be ordered to maintain the status quo of the task progress.

Avoid further in-depth investigations and lead to situations that cannot be handled by low-level swordsmen.

Of course, manpower will be added when necessary.
