People read the barrage at the beginning of Demon Slayer

Located in Chiba Prefecture, southeast of Tokyo, Hirano is a town that makes a living from fishing.

When Haruto arrived, the atmosphere in the town was completely different from what he had thought.

It is full of hot spring inns and seafood shops, and there are many residents and tourists who come and go.

There are no doors and windows closed, no fear, the fishermen go out fishing with their fishing gear on their backs, and the conversation is very relaxed and peaceful.

"The fishermen are missing?" said the owner of a hot spring inn, who was a little surprised to learn of Haruto's intentions.

"What's missing, they've all run away with those inferior geisha. "

An elderly woman sitting in the inn scoffed: "I didn't even care about the children who were waiting to be fed at home, and I left my newly born wife and geisha to fool around in Tokyo." "

"Ran away?".

"Some time ago, there was a festival, and a lot of low-class geisha came from Tokyo, and it was like this every year...... Just a little more this year. "

The boss shook his head: "Men, how can you be the opponent of these geisha, you will be deceived in three or two with empty pockets, and you have to take your life to run to the big city to make a living." "

"Well, even the wife and children at home are ignored, can these still be considered men?"

The old woman was very disdainful: "That Yonghui of the Majing family, who usually loves Saori so much, is it not that the figure of the running person is gone?".

"Hmm......" Haruto nodded thoughtfully, does it have anything to do with the festival activities?

Or is the festival just a coincidence?

"Have any swordsmen dressed like me come here lately?"

The boss looked him up and down: "There are wandering swordsmen, but I haven't seen anyone as well-dressed as you." "

"Thank you. "

After asking the old woman again about the location of the Asai house she had mentioned, Haruto reluctantly glanced at the fresh snapper and lobster on the cupboard of the hot spring inn, wiped her saliva and left.

For now, let's catch this possible demon first, and wait until it's over to celebrate and feast

on it!

He went to the Majing house mentioned by the old woman, but there was no one in the house.

Neighbors told him that Saori Amai had gone out fishing early in the morning and had been fishing for many days.

"Didn't she just give birth?"

"Well...... Life. The kind neighbor shook her head: "Her man has run away, and the family has not much food in stock, and if he doesn't go fishing, he can't even afford to eat."

Saori is also a stubborn person, unwilling to accept our food, saying that there is always a way.

You're dressed up very brightly, are you a relative of Saori? I heard that her family used to live near Asakusa, and her family was in business. "

Qingren politely said a few perfunctory words, and his heart was a little heavy.

The wind outside is wet, mixed with the salty smell of seawater, and such an environment can cause great harm to the body of a woman who has just given birth.

And ......

He looked up at the darkening sky and quickened his search.

Finally, he found Saori Asai among the returning fishermen.

It was a very young girl, with a burlap turban on her head, a beautiful but pale face, and a basket on her back.

A cloth bag was tied around her chest, and the faint cry of a weak baby could be heard.

She wore a pair of worn-out clogs, white and scarred from the soles of her feet to her calves.

There was only a shallow layer of shellfish in the basket, but these alone had already consumed all her strength.

She passed by Haruto and dragged her tired body towards the house.

The expressions of pity from the people around her made Saori clench her fists.

Pushing open the door of Majing's house, the room was unchanging and deserted.

She put the basket in the corner and took Rika out of the cloth pocket on her chest first.

This is a well-behaved girl, Yonghui was very happy after she was born, and it took a long time to look through the dictionary to get the name.

But those people will say in private that because she gave birth to a daughter, Yonghui ran away with the geisha.

...... Really, what do they know!

Yonghui, Yonghui will never abandon her and their children!

She and Yonghui ...... When I escaped from Asakusa, I made an oath to the gods!

Tears slid down the woman's soft cheeks and dripped down the baby's face.

The hungry baby stuck out his tongue to lick it, but he couldn't eat it, and then let out a cry like a kitten.

Saori woke up in shock, but ...... But she hadn't eaten enough for a long time, and she didn't even have enough milk.

At this time, someone knocked on the wooden door of Majing's house.

Saori looked up and saw a white-haired young man with a knife hanging from his waist and an extraordinary handsome face.

He carried a backpack behind him, and lowered his eyes as if to avoid suspicion: "Sorry, I'm sorry to disturb me." "

Dressed up and outstanding......

looking

Saori jumped up from the ground with endless despair and fear on her face, "You've found it here, from Asakusa to Hirano?" she scurried around the yard, throwing everything she could see.

Haruto inexplicably dodged the clutter: "Asakusa? No, I'm from ...... Anyway, I'm not from Asakusa. "

He raised the paper bag in his hand: "Do you want to eat something? Even if you don't, your child may have to eat." "

At the mention of the child, Saori's sanity seemed to have come back for the time being, and she stared at Haruto vigilantly, this beautiful face always reminded her of some bad memories.

"I don't need mercy. "

She replied through gritted teeth.

It's really hard-mouthed, even if such a person dies and pushes it into the furnace, it will be two complete pieces of mouth skin that will be pulled out.

Qing sighed secretly in his heart, but said on his lips: "This is not mercy, it is a transaction.

I want to know something about your missing husband, and if you don't mind, these things – including this pack of baby cereal are the payment.

Adults can withstand hunger for a few days, but children cannot. "

Saori glanced at Rika in her arms, and after a moment replied, "Come in." "

Qingren pushed the door and walked in, but did not close the door to avoid suspicion.

He put the rice noodles and some cooked food he bought from the town store in front of Saori, and then sat far away, took out his lunch box and began to eat.

Chiba is a seafood paradise, and the eels produced here have a special milky smell.

After a simple frying, it is neatly stacked on top of the sweet potato rice, and the color is golden and attractive.

Haruto ate it sweetly, and Saori's throat rolled.

She first washed rice noodles for Rika and fed them with a wooden spoon before picking up the same eel rice in front of her and swallowing it in a big gulp.

Well, even in a state of hunger, she still covered her mouth with her sleeves and was dignified and generous, coupled with the frightened look of Asakusa she just mentioned......

Perhaps, it was not the geisha who hooked the fisherman's soul, but the fisherman who won the geisha's heart.
