"That's impossible. We are more than a dozen blocks away from him. He sees us like sparrows. How could he possibly see us?" "But, but" "Don't worry, he's just a young boy, how could he have such eyesight!" Maki patted Suma's shoulder and said that this was impossible. "clang!" A very hard bamboo knife was inserted into the tiles 10 meters away from them. Then they looked towards Emiya's position again. At this time, Emiya had stopped where he was, standing in the middle of the street as if the people around him were nothing, facing them with a bow and shooting posture. Chapter 23: Devouring Ghosts - Asakusa Kae (Part 1) Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex or perhaps it was Emiya's own keen senses, but Emiya, who was running, suddenly turned his head towards Suma and the others.
Just like many times when you are looking at someone, he suddenly turns around and looks at you. In fact, he might not have felt that anyone was staring at him at all, but for some reason he suddenly turned his head and looked at the person who had been looking at him. This sudden turn also allowed Emiya to see three figures standing on the roof. Although they were indeed a bit far apart, as an archer, his eyesight was excellent and he could easily see the appearance of the three people standing on the roof. And one of them was the woman who had collided with Emiya before. It was just one night, but Emiya still had a deep memory of the woman who had made him soaked. But why was she standing on the roof? Most people don't have the skills to climb onto the roof. What's more, their steady standing posture meant that they must have met on the roof more than once. In this intricate and noisy street, almost no ordinary person would notice what is happening on the roof. Even if they did notice it, they would basically not be able to hear what the people on the roof are communicating. This is also a very simple yet practical place to exchange information. After all, we are not undercover agents infiltrating the enemy country, and we are not ghosts who cannot be seen during the day. The wider the place, the more suitable it is for conversation. "When did he take out the bow?" Maki pulled out the bamboo sword that had been stuck in a tile not far away, his eyes full of confusion. When Emiya Shirou was running, there was no bow anywhere on his body. But she also found a note on the bamboo sword. "Please don't go! I have something I want to ask you!" This was the first time that Emiya projected the bow. He didn't expect that in addition to the sword, the projected bow also consumed little magic power. When he saw the three people standing on the roof of the house next to the round pit, Emiya knew that they were most likely the same as the boy he had met before, people who specialized in dealing with demons.
Or it could be some other force. In short, no matter what, Emiya felt that he should contact them. After all, they couldn't be ghosts under the sun. He originally planned to project the arrow when he projected the bow, but his own magic power consumption increased significantly, so Emiya had to project the bamboo sword he had trained with. But he was afraid that they would misunderstand his thoughts, so he used a large amount of magic power to project a piece of paper with words on it and put it on the bamboo sword. "I accidentally spilled tea on him yesterday. Is he coming here to seek revenge? Should I hide now?" Looking at Emiya who climbed up to the roof with great agility and was heading towards their location. Suma was a little scared again. "No way! You need to use your brain!" Maki tapped Suma's forehead, expressing his helplessness. Their biggest enemy is evil spirits. As for humans, Emiya is well-known for his helpfulness in Yugoku. Plus, what was shot at them was just a bamboo sword, so they don't think Emiya has any ill will towards them. If there really was any malicious intent, it should have been to hide in the shadows and deal them a fatal blow, rather than a sneak attack in broad daylight. However, this situation generally does not occur, because the Demon Slayer Corps does not have any human enemies except demons. Soon, Emiya arrived in front of them. "sorry Sorry!" Suma on the side quickly rushed over, held Emiya's hand and kept apologizing. For a moment, Emiya stopped thinking, his mind was in a defensive state, and he immediately forgot what he came here to ask. "Don't make trouble!" Maki clamped Suma's arms with both hands and dragged her aside. "Well, I want to ask, what happened last night?" Rather than their identities, Emiya wanted to know what happened here, because only by obtaining more information could he rescue those hundreds of people, and human life always comes first. In his heart, Emiya had always held out hope for this matter. "You're not from the Demon Slayer Corps, are you?" Hinazuru looked directly into Emiya's determined eyes and asked a question in affirmative form. If you are a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, you will definitely be equipped with the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, and you will not stay in one place for a month. Various evil demons are roaming all over Japan, and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are basically fighting and training every moment. "No, I am not." Emiya shook his head in confusion. He just wanted to get some information about this place, so why was he asking if he was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. "Since you are not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, I cannot tell you the information here!" Hinazuru doesn't want to drag such a gentle boy into this extremely dangerous thing. Perhaps he will join the Demon Slayer Corps in the future, but Emiya cannot interfere in such matters now.
This boy has not grown up yet, Hinazuru thinks so in her heart. Perhaps this may be difficult for many people to understand, but it is a high EQ idea. An expression of low emotional intelligence is that Emiya's current strength is too weak in Hinazuru's eyes. As the wife of the Sound Pillar, she often comes into contact with members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Over time, she can feel that the way the members of the Demon Slayer Corps breathe is very different from that of ordinary people. At this moment, Emiya is somewhere in between these two, someone who has not yet fully mastered the breathing method. How can a person who has not yet mastered the breathing technique have the strength to fight against ghosts? What's more, Emiya doesn't have the Nichirin sword that can kill demons. If he is really allowed to get involved in this matter, Hinazuru feels that the biggest possibility for him is to be buried in the demon's belly. Hinazuru didn't want this to happen. "why?" Emiya doesn't understand her behavior. Wouldn't it be better to have one more person to help in this kind of situation? This isn't a fight over some kind of resource. The less people who know about it, the more benefits we can gain. When facing creatures like ghosts, shouldn't we unite against them? "Don't worry, we have already reported this matter, and members of the Demon Slayer Corps will be here soon to resolve this matter. This kind of thing will never happen again." Fearing that Emiya would impulsively fight with the demon, Hinazuru quickly told him the solution. "So, what about those who disappeared?" Emiya didn't hear the answer he wanted. "They must have been devoured by ghosts." Hinazuru lowered his head and sighed. "Impossible! Can ghosts really be so powerful?" There were hundreds of people, how could they die so easily? Just chopping off their hands one by one would make them limp. "No, for a powerful ghost, sometimes it is really easy to deal with hundreds of people." Maki patted Emiya's shoulder and answered Emiya's question with a heavy heart. Emiya believed that no matter how powerful those demons were, they were just like the magi that Kiritsugu in his own world had told him about. Because if a phenomenon is achieved by miraculous means and technology can also achieve the result, it is called magic. In this case, no matter how strong a magus's fighting ability is, it should be about the same as those of mercenaries. At least that's what Emiya thinks. If there are many ghosts like this that can easily destroy one-tenth of the city in an instant, then wouldn't the people here basically be ruled by ghosts? It is obvious that there are no special people to protect such a prosperous town. If the Demon Slayer Corps only arrive after an incident occurs, then the demons will be able to destroy the entire country by moving from one place to another with each shot. Chapter 24: Devouring Ghosts - Asakusa Kae (Part 2) "I'm really pissed off. I'm going to eat her today!"
Daki grabbed the pink silk in her hand and threw the person in the portrait out. She just patted her head in a daze and got up from the ground. The whole room was very dark. If it weren't for the moonlight, she might not be able to see the things around her clearly. "Am I back?" Looking at the familiar configuration around her, Asakusa Xiange rubbed her eyes in confusion. “It’s still quite refined, and it doesn’t disgrace the name of the food.” Daki lifted Asakusa Xianghui's chin and spoke with a slightly appreciative tone. Although Asakusa Kae is still young and underdeveloped, she is indeed a first-class beauty. At the very least, she will be a popular woman when she grows up, or at the very least an oiran. Of course, the prerequisite is that the body is fully developed. If it is still in such a skinny state, no matter how beautiful it is, it will not show. However, just as Daki was grabbing her neck, a figure appeared in front of the window, blocking the bright moonlight. "It seems that I came at the wrong time" A voice that sounded neither male nor female came from this figure. "Master Wuhan!" She hurriedly threw the food in her hand aside, knelt on the ground, and looked at the figure in front of her with respect. "It seems that your strength has improved a lot during your time in Yuguo." There was a hint of praise in his tone, and he seemed to be looking forward to her growing strength. No one cared about Asakusa Kae who was thrown heavily against the wall and then fell to the ground. "If you can continue to devour more people, your strength will become even stronger." As he spoke, Muzan gradually walked in front of Daki and gently stroked her face. "Now" But a voice they were not expecting came from Wuzan's feet. "Hungry!" The wounds on her body had basically healed, and she seemed to have lost consciousness at this moment. Her whole body was instinctively moving slowly towards Muzan beside her. Just like Tanjiro who appeared behind Akaza without being noticed after understanding the transparent world. At this moment, Asakusa Xianghui had no intention of killing anything around her. "Master Wuhan!" Seeing Muzan’s foot bitten, Daki screamed and the red silk around her suddenly danced wildly, trying to cut Asakusa Xianghui into pieces. But Wuzan waved his hand.
"You are really an interesting kid. Since you want to eat ghosts, I will give you my blood!" Muzan, the ancestor of demons, could clearly feel that there was a lot of demon aura in this girl's body. He thought that she had the same physique as the demon eater who had appeared before and was later killed. But because he is very young and has eaten a lot of ghosts, he has been in a state of half ghost and half human, so his body can recover quickly in such a short time.
