Ghost Slayer: The beginning of the game draws the blade like fire

Chapter 32 Ou Zhu (for further reading)

"Jiro, you must work hard! Your master, whether I can get promoted and raise my salary, become the new pillar, and marry Mitsuri is all up to you!"

Wang!Wang!Wang!
"What, you also want a promotion and a raise?! Well... how about this, as long as Jiro finds the mission target, he will have a big bone in his dinner!"

Wang!Wang!Wang!
"Okay, it's a deal!"

High-fived Jiro as an oath.Qin Xiao looked at Jiro searching the streets and alleys with a satisfied look on his face.

"Tsk tsk, this is called a mission!"

I have to work so hard to find the way and find monsters, and finally have to enter the battle PK, which is too hard!

So Qin Xiao decided to outsource the first half of the work to Jiro in the future, and he would only be responsible for the second half of chopping melons and vegetables.

And Jiro's outsourcing salary is only one big bone meal a day, which is really cheap and high quality!
Of course, the current Jiro is definitely not as professional as Tanjiro in finding ghosts, and he still needs his careful training!
But Qin Xiao believes that one day Jiro will replace Tanjiro in his heart and become the number one "dog nose" in the whole show!
After receiving the task from the crow that day, Qin Xiao spent two or three days rushing to this town named: Koizumi.

Compared with Baiye Town, which he had visited before, Xiaoquan looked more modern, and the familiar telephone poles made Qin Xiao feel friendly.

Even at night here, the main streets are brightly lit and filled with people.

If there were a few more flashing red and green neon signs, Qin Xiao could feel the "warmth" of home.

It's a pity that Qin Xiao is not familiar with the place here and has no friends, otherwise he would have to take them to relax.

Maybe after sending Guiwu Tsuji Wumi to the sunbath, Qin Xiao can become a respected writer and publish a book called: "Guidelines for Health Evaluation of Customs in Another World".

"It's almost time for dinner. I'll give you some chicken drumsticks later. Keep working hard tonight!"

Wang!Wang!Wang!
Jiro showed an honest smile.

It was already evening when Qin Xiao arrived at Koizumi, and he didn't have much time to inquire about the news.So he was going to work overtime at night to try his luck, to see if he could catch the ghost!
Randomly found a small street shop on the side of the road, Qin Xiao walked into it with Jiro.

"Excuse me, do you know about the recent disappearance of Koizumi? I heard that some of the missing people are regular customers of your store, can you..."

"Guest! If you are not here to dine, please leave here. I have other guests to entertain!"

"I'm so sorry! I'll come back later!"

"No customers are missing in my store! And I don't know about any missing cases. Please don't come again!"

"I see, I'm very sorry!"

As soon as he entered the store, Qin Xiao heard a low-pitched conversation.

And it seemed that the atmosphere of the conversation was not very pleasant...

After apologizing to the shop owner many times, Murata turned around dejectedly and wanted to leave, but the door of the shop was blocked by someone.

Murata thought that a guest was about to come in, so he immediately turned sideways to avoid it.

But after waiting for a while, the man didn't move. Murata couldn't help but look up.

Their eyes met, and Qin Xiao retrieved the information about the person in front of him from his memory.

With short black hair parted in the middle, and the same black pupils, he has a good appearance.Wearing the uniform of the Demon Slayer Squad, but it doesn't seem to be inconspicuous at all...

Good guy, isn't this "Ou Zhu" Murata boss! ! !

"Hey, you are...Qin Xiao?!" Murata seemed to recognize Qin Xiao too.

Qin Xiao was currently wearing the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps, with his red and blue feather fabric on top.

Carrying a knife case made of foggy spruce and rock lacquer by Taki Sakonji on his back, he placed Hyōrinmaru and Ryūren Wakahui, as well as some clothing and miscellaneous items.

"You know me?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised.

He knew Murata because Murata was quite famous, but it was a bit strange that Murata would know him.

"I don't know you, but I know you. How should I put it..."

"Sit down and talk."

After that, Qin Xiao walked towards the two people's position in the corner of the shop.

"Ok."

The two of them and the dog sat down in the corner, and someone came over to greet them immediately.

Qin Xiao ordered fried pork cutlet curry rice and a piece of croquette, and Murata ordered the same thing.

Qin Xiao said it was great to be able to eat such high-calorie delicacies during the Taisho era.

But Jiro’s chicken legs were gone, so he had to use chicken chops instead.

After ordering, Murata said:
"This was supposed to be your personal mission, but within a day or two of your arrival in Koizumi, the number of missing people suddenly increased by ten."

"The headquarters suspects that there are many ghosts active here, and this is no longer something that a Gui-level swordsman like you who has just joined the Demon Slayer Team can handle."

"Since I was near Koizumi at the time, the headquarters sent me a reinforcement mission and asked me to handle this mission with you!"

"Diao Crow brought some information about the disappearance case, as well as your information. So, I recognized you when I saw you wearing the team uniform."

"So that's the case." Qin Xiao nodded to express his understanding.

"Since you reached Koizumi before me, you should have collected some information, right?" Qin Xiao asked.

"We have indeed collected some. The disappearance of the residents of Koizumi started half a month ago, and at that time one or two people disappeared every day."

"But since the number of people is not large, and the missing people are basically residents living alone, nothing has been found wrong."

"It wasn't until a week later that people started going to the police station to report the case. After police investigation, it was discovered that more than ten people were missing!"

"The headquarters received the news and thought that there was an evil spirit causing trouble in Koizumi, so it sent a mission to you. But when you arrived, the number of people missing in Koizumi every day increased sharply, so what I said before happened."

Qin Xiao nodded and was analyzing the news in his heart without saying anything.

"I found out that a missing resident is a frequent customer of this store, so I planned to come over and ask if there is any useful information. Who knows, I just ran into you."

"I almost forgot to introduce myself, I was the one talking to myself all the time, I'm so sorry!" Murata said with some embarrassment.

"My name is Murata Masayuki, you can just call me Murata. I passed the final selection four years ago and joined the Demon Slayer Corps. I practice water breathing and am currently a Xin-level swordsman."

"You can just call me Qin Xiao. I also practice water breathing."

"Hey, is it true? Then we are really destined!" Murata was a little excited.

"Let me tell you a secret. Tomioka Giyuu-sama and I participated in the final selection and joined the team at the same time. Tomioka Giyuu-sama, you know, right? The water pillars of our Demon Slayer Squad also practice water breathing!"

"Although I am the same generation as Lord Tomioka, my talent is average and it took me five years to reach the Xin level. Even so, I will continue to work hard to kill demons!"
