I don't want to be an elf!

"Since the commander has already thought of this possibility, why should he take risks alone?"

"You are my subordinates. As the boss, if you don't come to rescue you, will you still run away?" Wuhe Qinli snorted proudly, "Since the ghost killing team hasn't come yet, let me tell you what happened first." Let me listen."

"Of course."

Kamado Tanjiro immediately invited her into Zhushi's mansion.

The other members of Ratatosk were already waiting in the mansion, but they couldn't come out because it was still broad daylight outside.

Without any pleasantries, everyone came to the living room of the mansion and opened the first meeting of Ratatosk members.

And the ins and outs of the matter were quickly explained under the buzz of everyone.

"Sorry, it's all my fault. I wasn't even aware that I was being followed."

Dazai Osamu touched his head in embarrassment and said with an embarrassed smile: "How about I die to apologize, so that I can show my sincerity."

"This should be a reward for you, right?" Itsuka Kotori rolled her eyes at him, "When you said that, I began to suspect that you deliberately got into trouble."

What happened was very simple.

Although Itsuka Kotori was fishing during this period, the Kamado siblings and Dazai Osamu were still engaged in ghost-slaying activities.

Two days ago, as usual, they returned to Asakusa after killing a ghost in the surrounding cities.

On the way back, Osamu Dazai suddenly became very poetic. After admiring the beauty of the moonlight, he took the Zaomen brothers and sisters to admire the moon for two hours.

During this time, they were targeted by members of the Ghost Slayer Squad who came from around.

If they were ordinary members, they would definitely be able to find out.

But the problem is, it's not ordinary members who follow them.

It's the Crow of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

I don't know why, some small animals in this world have wisdom and intelligence beyond common sense.

For example, the Chachawan raised by Zhushi.

Another example is the crows trained by the Ghost Killing Team to deliver information and tasks.

Following the Kamado brothers and sisters and Osamu Dazai all the way back to the stronghold in Asakusa, the crow flew directly to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Squad, and conveyed the matter to the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad, Yoya Ubuyashiki.

"This is the letter that the adult who led the ghost killing team wrote to us."

Handing the message from the crow to Itsuka Kotori, there was a trace of panic under Zhushi's calm expression: "Commander, should we move the base, or should we agree to Ubuyashiki's request?"

As a ghost who has lived for hundreds of years, although the Demon Slayer Corps did not know the existence of Tamasai before this, Tamayo knew about the existence of the Demon Slayer Squad.

Although their goals are the same, they both want to solve Onimai Tsuji, but the Ghost Killing Team has always held the creed of killing ghosts without mercy, so Zhushi has never had contact with them.

However, after lurking for so long, she was still noticed by the Ghost Killing Squad.

The peaceful life was broken, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

After reading the letter written by Yoya Ubuyashiki, Itsuka Kotori quickly understood the purpose of the letter.

Quite simply, this is an invitation.

In the letter, Yuya Ubuyashiki's words were very easy-going, without the slightest bit of toughness. Instead, he invited Ratatosk in a friendly manner to go to a ghost killing team's mansion three days later to have a cooperative conversation.

Of course, there's a good chance that friendliness is just a disguise.

This negotiation is also very likely to be a grand banquet.

"We now have three options, A. Move the base, B. Agree to the request of the Ghost Killing Team, C. Decide that the Ghost Killing Team has bad intentions, so we should act first."

After reading the letter from Uyashiki Yōya, Itsuka Kotori said calmly: "Then, let everyone choose."

"The second one." Tanjiro Kamado, who had never learned English, was the first to answer.

"A." After thinking for a moment, Zhu Shi gave his answer.

"A." Yushiro chose an option with Zhushi as a matter of course.

"Woohoo!" Nezuko who couldn't speak raised two fingers.

"I choose C." Osamu Dazai raised his hand excitedly, but anyone could tell that this guy just wanted to die.

After excluding Dazai Osamu's choice, the only thing left is to choose between A and B.

Everyone can't come to the same conclusion.

So, they could only turn their eyes to their commander.

"Do you trust me?"

Under everyone's gaze, Wuhe Qinli asked.

The sudden question that had nothing to do with the topic of conversation made everyone stunned for a moment.

"Of course I trust Commander."

Tanjiro Kamado was the first to answer, and said in a serious tone: "You saved my life and my sister's, and I believe you will not harm us."

"I believe too."

Zhu Shi was the second to answer, nodding slowly.

She is a ghost who has lived for more than 500 years. It is unrealistic to say that she easily believes in another ghost that she has known for less than three months.

However, she believed in Wuhe Qinli's strength.

Whether it was the coercion when they first met, or the record of easily killing Shangxian Six, they all left a deep impression on her.

"Master Zhu Shi said so..."

Yushiro pouted, just like Zhu Shi, he also believed in Wuhe Qinli's strength.

Even though there may still be some distance from Oni Wu Tsuji, there should be no problem in contending with the Ghost Killing Squad.

"As long as you can let me die without pain according to the agreement, I will believe you."

Dazai shrugged.

He joined Ratatosk neither for the purpose of destroying Onimai Tsuji, nor did he have other lofty ideals.

He joined completely half-voluntarily and half-forced.

Even if Wuheqinli dragged him to die, he didn't have any complaints.

"Very well, then I will tell you now that your choice is correct."

Wuhe Qinli showed a smile.

"In this case, there is only one answer."

----------

----------

Three days later, in the mansion of a certain big family in Asakusa.

The wisteria flowers that had been raised all year round have now been completely removed, leaving no petals behind.

Inside the mansion, in the front yard big enough to accommodate the Venerable Master, there were only ten figures.

The man under the parasol in the center is wearing a pure white kimono. The hideous blood vessels and distorted flesh on his face have taken up most of his face.

But there is still a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, exuding a gentle temperament like a spring breeze.

He is the protagonist of the Demon Slayer Squad, and the team leader of the contemporary Ubuyashiki, Ubuyashiki Yoya.

And behind Yoya Miyayashiki, there are nine demon slayers dressed in the uniform of the Demon Slayer Squad, and each of them has the four characters [Evil Demon Slayer] engraved on their Japanese swords.

They are the highest-ranking members of the Ghost Slayer Squad, the pillars that support the organization.

They traveled around Japan on weekdays, and they hardly had time to stop and rest, but today they got together again.

Once again, coming together for that same reason.

For Ratatosk.

The irascible Undead Kawa Minami looked at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but let out a gasp.

"The sun has been setting for so long, why haven't those guys come?"

Undead Kawa Minami looked impatient, and couldn't help but said: "Isn't it because I was afraid that I ran away?"

"That's right."

Yihei Xiaobanei yawned, and said lazily: "After all, the nine pillars of the ghost killing team are all here. If one of the top strings comes, they have to make a detour. Of course, there is no way for a mere ghost who has defeated the sixth of the top strings." Have the courage to accept the invitation."

"Sure enough, when they found their stronghold, they should be allowed to receive death, Amitabha."

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes: "We missed the best opportunity and let them escape. We don't know how long it will be until we try to find them next time."

"Asakusa..."

Purgatory Kyojuro frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect Ratatosk's hiding place to be here. Kotori seems to always run this way during this time, but luckily nothing happened."

The pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad were discussing.

But Uyashiki Yoshiya, who was sitting in a wheelchair, didn't care about the comments of his subordinates.

It would be best if Ratatosk appeared.

Both parties have the same goal. If they can work together to bring this organization to their side, it will definitely be a big help.

But it didn't matter if Ratatosk didn't intend to show up.

If you dare not even face the Nine Pillars of the Ghost Killing Team, it can only show that this organization is just a small fight and nothing to be afraid of.

Even if the Demon Slayer Squad doesn't take care of them, Muzan will not sit idly by and watch.

After all, he almost made a banner with the words "We have no hostility" and hung it at the gate.

Not only were all the wisteria flowers that made Oni resist were removed, and there were no members of the Ghost Killing Squad around except nine pillars to protect his life, and even the place he chose was in the center of Asakusa.

Just choosing to meet in a place like this instead of deep in the mountains and forests is enough to show Uyashiki Yaoya's goodwill.

After all, this is the city center, a densely populated place.

Whether it is the ghost killing team or the ghosts, it is impossible to do anything here.

Although the two camps have competed with each other for the past year, they both adhere to a consensus.

That is to keep all battles in the shadows, hidden from the world.

If the Demon Slayer Squad had a conflict with Ratatosk in a place like this, with nine pillar-level members and a demon as powerful as a top-level demon, not to mention how many people would be involved, just the society after that. Public opinion cannot be suppressed by the Ubuyashiki clan.

The reason why the public opinion of the Battle of Flower Street was able to be suppressed a few days ago was because the shops in Flower Street didn’t want to make a big deal and attract government scrutiny, so they cooperated with Yoya Ubuyashiki to fabricate a reasonable An excuse to hide the matter.

However, in this kind of place, if a battle really broke out, even the Ubayashiki clan would be helpless.

In this case, if the other party still doesn't show up, it can only mean that the other party doesn't have the stamina anymore.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The clock struck twelve at midnight.

"Boom--!"

The heavy sound of bells came from the bell tower.

Then, six dark figures appeared on the wall.

Each of them wore a different mask, hiding their figures under black robes, like apostles of the night walking in the darkness.

"It's been a long time, everyone in the Demon Slayer Squad."

Under the ferocious ghost mask, the girl's voice sounded from it.

"Ratatosk, you are invited."

Chapter 28 Two-in-one disqualification in the world

When Ratatosk and his party appeared, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet.

Although they were the masters who invited the other party to come to discuss, many pillar-level members still put their hands close to the sun wheel knife without any trace.

Because Ratatosk doesn't seem to have much sincerity.

Not only did all the members cover their faces, but their bodies were also covered by black robes, giving them a vigilant look.

"Is it because you are too ugly, and you dress up like this so as not to scare people?" Undead Kawa Minami couldn't help mocking, "It's already here, and you still have to do such unnecessary things. Didn't intend to take it seriously from the beginning?"
