Chapter 102
"I have a feeling that the final boss will definitely be Kazali."
"It's too miserable for OOO to be alone now. I feel it's not going to be easy even with Birth."
"But are there other knights? For example, this Hibiki, and the previous Agito, even if these two are very busy, isn't there a 555?"
"That's all we can see. But these ghosts are like that."
"Hibiki, isn't the name just 'ghost'?"
"Use the power of ghosts to fight ghosts?"
"But, it seems that there are such monsters that can eat people in the world now?"
["Ghost?" Back in Wagunaria, Iba and Bai Yang took out the medical kit and gave a simple treatment to Souta and Anku who woke up. Hattori Heiji and Anku both made puzzled sounds. ]
["Well, actually before the Taisho era, ghosts ate humans under the leadership of the ghost king, Muzan Kibutsuji. At that time, a team called the 'Demon Slayer Corps' was organized to deal with him." And the answer was naturally Tanjiro Kamado. 】
【However, Tanjiro Kamado has not yet removed his transformation, and he still looks like a Hibiki. He then looked at Hattori Heiji awkwardly: "Um, Officer Hattori, can you give me your schoolbag? I need to change my clothes and continue to explain later."】
【"Change clothes?" Hattori Heiji was a little confused, but he still brought Tanjiro Kamado's clothes. Tanjiro Kamado nodded and said, "Well, when using the power of the ghost, the clothes will be burned clean by the ghost fire. Although there is a secret technique, I haven't learned that secret technique yet. I use it now..."】
【"..." Everyone was a little embarrassed. Tanjiro Kamado changed his clothes and continued to explain. 】
【"But in the Taisho era, Muzan Kibutsuji obtained strange powers. In the past, the most effective way to deal with ghosts was to chop off their heads or bask in the sun, and there was also a kind of flower that could restrain them. But later it changed. If you don't use the power of the ghost, you can't completely destroy the opponent."】
Chapter 94 ‘Desire Called Love’
[“At that time, in order to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji’s new power, the Demon Slayer Corps considered for a long time, and finally decided to study the opponent’s power as well, and then the ‘demons’ were born. The power used is the same source, that is, the Hibiki. And the power of the Hibiki is family-based. My elder is the Hibiki who eliminated Muzan Kibutsuji.”]
[“After Muzan Kibutsuji died, most of the other demons were also eliminated, but half a year ago, some demons began to revive mysteriously. Fortunately, the places where they revived were all on our side of the mountain, so some descendants of the Demon Slayer Corps who stayed behind began to regain the power of ‘demons’. This time I went down the mountain because Matsuemon sensed that there were demons in the city, and I personally had some private matters to find Miss Todoroki, so I came here.”]
[While talking, Tanjiro Kamado opened the window, and the crow outside, Tennouji Matsuemon flew in and landed directly on Tanjiro’s head. ]
[“Crow?” And Hattori Heiji obviously didn’t have a good impression of crows. Seeing this, Tanjiro explained: "This is a crow."】
【"Idiot, idiot!" Tennoji Matsuemon shouted at Hattori Heiji, then grabbed Tanjiro's hair: "Go back, go back, there are ghosts in the mountains again."】
【"I know, I'll go back soon." Tanjiro nodded, then looked at Hattori Heiji: "Then Officer Hattori, can I go first?"】
【"..." Hattori Heiji didn't care about Tennoji Matsuemon's address to him, but took out a business card and handed it to Tanjiro: "You can contact me first if there is such a situation in the city in the future."】
【"Oh. "Okay!" Tanjiro nodded, and then prepared to leave, but not long after he went out, Tanjiro ran out again: "Sister Todoroki!"]
["Hmm?" Todoroki Yachiyo was just helping to get the medicine, and was a little surprised to see Tanjiro running back, and then saw Tanjiro took out a red envelope: "Well, I'm going to get engaged to Kanao in a while, so please be sure to come then."]
["Todoroki..." And by coincidence, Sato Jun was just about to come in from outside, but when he saw Tanjiro handing the red envelope to Todoroki Yachiyo, he was stunned for a moment and turned away.]
["Puff!" Soma, who saw this scene, covered his mouth. He looked like he wanted to laugh but covered his mouth to hold it back.]
[After Tanjiro left, Hattori Heiji looked at Souta: "I roughly understand what's going on here, and you can contact the Special Situation Section directly in the future."]
["Okay, I know." Souta didn't refuse these. 】
【‘...’ Anku looked very unhappy. The picture stayed on Anku’s face. 】
There was still a ten-minute break in the middle.
Then the next round of broadcasting continued.
【‘The Desire Called Love’】
【The snowflakes fell slowly and it began to snow. Outside Wagunaria was still very lively with people coming and going. Anku was still hiding in the attic, closing his eyes and resting. 】
【Although a lot of core coins were robbed, the main thing was that his core coins were not robbed, so the problem itself was not big. But the fact that his core coins were robbed made Anku very unhappy. 】
【After a while, the window was knocked. Anku opened his eyes and saw the Eagle Jar flying over. He opened the window and the Eagle Jar flew in. He shook his head at Anku, then turned into a jar and landed on the table. 】
【"Damn it. Still can't find it?" Anku went out directly when he saw this. Because of Souta's needs, there was always a vending machine outside. He took out an Eagle Jar from the vending machine, and Anku let it fly out again, and put the jar back into the vending machine. 】
【Anku kept looking for where his body was, but he couldn't find it, which made Anku very angry. 】
【Pushing the door and entering the lounge, Anku found Sato Jun, who was leaning against the window smoking. Anku glanced at Sato Jun, then returned to his seat and prepared to close his eyes and rest. 】
【Although Anku knows everyone else in the store, he doesn't like to communicate with them. The only people who chat with Anku are Yamada and Baiyang. Others just say hello to Anku. But they don't chat that much. 】
【"Anku, you can feel desire, right?" This time, Sato Jun asked. Anku opened his eyes and looked at Sato Jun, with a smile that looked very disdainful: "Do you want me to see your desire?" 】
【"..." Sato Jun didn't refute or admit it, just smoking. 】
【"I can feel your desire without the ability of a greedy person." Anku smiled contemptuously and looked at Sato Jun in front of him: "You like that Todoroki Yachiyo, right?" 】
【"Do I still like her now?" Sato Jun asked back at this time. 】
【Well, Sato Jun is indeed a little confused. The most important thing is that Tanjiro Kamado appeared a few days ago. At that time, Sato Jun saw Tanjiro Kamado handing his invitation to Yachiyo Todoroki. 】
【And Yachiyo Todoroki looked happy, so Sato Jun thought that Tanjiro might have a special relationship with Yachiyo. The most important thing is that he had asked the store manager what the relationship between the two was, and the store manager's answer at that time was that they were childhood sweethearts. 】
【According to that scene, Sato Jun naturally thought that the two might be together, which made Sato Jun want to quit. After all, he had always been secretly in love, but he still couldn't forget it. 】
【"So humans are really boring. If you like something, just go and grab it, instead of smoking here. If you want to know the answer, just ask." Anku said, closed his eyes and continued to rest. 】
【"Just ask?" Sato Jun pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and put it out, then walked out: "Do you want to eat ice cream?" 】
【"Eat!" Hearing that there was ice cream to eat, Anku opened his eyes all of a sudden. 】
【After nightfall, the store was ready to close. 】
【"Speaking of which, Christmas is coming." After wiping the table, Souta looked at Bai Yang: "Senior Wagunaria, are you going to offer any discounts?"】
【"Sister Anzi!" After hearing Souta's question, Bai Yang looked at the store manager. 】
【"Christmas... Festival... Gifts... Feast..." After muttering to herself for a few words, the store manager's eyes became a little bright, and she looked at Souta: "Do it!"】
Chapter 95 Desire for Money
【"Kato Yu, you go and buy some Christmas clothes and Christmas trees. When the business is over, everyone can get together for dinner. Anku, you can help too." Back in the lounge at the back, Manager Anzi announced the things to do during Christmas. 】
【"Why do you want me to go with you?" Anku replied at this time with dissatisfaction. 】
【"Well, Anku-kun, it's a holiday after all, and there are gifts during holidays." Soma said as he leaned forward and whispered in Anku's ear. Anku looked at Soma in surprise, and Soma looked at Anku with a smile. 】
【Anku didn't refute, but remained silent. 】
【After everything was done, everyone got off work. There was still a short distance before Christmas, so there was no rush. 】
【"Mo Chen really caused me trouble." After get off work, Soma pulled his dark blue scarf and scratched his head, while walking out of Wagunaria. When he walked out, he turned around and looked at this ordinary-looking small restaurant and sighed. 】
【"Even my intelligence network can't get much information." While complaining, Soma walked away and soon got into a black car and left. 】
【"Boom..." On the other side, Sato Jun was waiting. 】
【Waiting for Yachiyo and the store manager to get off work, he called out to Yachiyo when they finally came out, and the store manager said that Sato Jun asked Souta to stop him. 】
【"We said we'd go out for a drink together...after Christmas night..." Sato Jun stumbled a little when he said these words, but he finally finished: "...together?" 】
【"Eh! Okay!" Yachiyo looked very happy and agreed, and Sato Jun breathed a sigh of relief. 】
【It started snowing before Christmas even started. 】
["Christmas? What is that?" On the other side, in the abandoned bar, Gamel looked at Metz curiously. Metzl showed a gentle expression and reached out to rub Gamel's head: "It's a human festival. Give gifts to friends that they like."]
["Gifts for friends?" Gamel nodded, then raised his right hand and said cutely: "I have a friend and I want to give him a gift."]
["Friend?" After hearing Gamel's words, Metzl looked at Gamel in surprise. ]
["I'm sorry, Metzl, when you didn't come back at that time, I went out to look for you. At that time, I met two friends who were playing together." Gamel said a little embarrassedly. ]
[Then some memories appeared in Gamel's mind. It turned out that when Metzl was injured and taken away by Bai Yang, Gamel also went out to look for him with worry, and then ran into the small forest. ]
[As a result, he met three people, one of them was a woman, and the other one... was Yamada? 】
【Yamada was originally a playful person, and the wife was very young, looking like she was in her thirties or forties, and very gentle. In addition, Yamada was lost at that time. 】
【As a result, the three of them got to know each other. Gamel was a cute little boy with a silly look, so...】
【The three of them became friends. Recently, Yamada occasionally plays with Gamel after get off work. 】
【"Friends? Then let's go buy some gifts or something." And Metzl didn't object to Gamel making friends with humans. 】
【At this moment, Wu Fan came in with a bag of cooked food in his hand. There was wine and some snacks in the bag. He glanced at the three people and said, "You actually became friends with humans?"】
【"Humans in this era are much more interesting than those in the past." Metzl chuckled, and Wu Fan did not refute this statement, but took out a stack of Japanese yen: "This is the money of this era."】
【"Wu Fan, you said that about us before, but I didn't expect you to use human banknotes?" Metzl looked at the cash next to Wu Fan and sneered. 】
【"I just found that different ways should be used to deal with humans in each era." Wu Fan said, reaching out to take out the cash and running his fingers across it. Then Wu Fan looked at the two people and said, "By the way, did you find Kazali?"】
【"I don't know where that guy disappeared to." Both of them shook their heads. 】
【"Leave the cell coin to me, and you are responsible for bringing Kazali back to me. Metzl, your core coin is in his hand." Wufan said this, and squeezed his hand hard, and directly crushed the can of beer on his other hand. 】
【"What about Anku?" At this time, Gamel asked curiously. 】
【"Anku and OOO have no conflicts with us, so don't worry about it. Besides, Anku's core coin is gone. If we use his core coin to exchange our core coin with him, do you think he will agree?" 】
【"Anku and OOO's assistance is just to get back their core coins. Although there is OOO's help, if the three of us are together, I think Anku will have to think about it carefully. After we get the core coin back." When Wufan said this, he smiled, which looked a little scary. 】
【"But we don't know where our own core coins are, and we don't know Anku's core coin either?" Gamel asked curiously after hearing it. 】
【"We have already lamented before that human beings have made great progress in technology." Wu Fan supported his cheek with one hand and took out a core coin from his arms. 】
【It turned out to be a peacock core coin: "In addition to being able to make core coins, human desires can also use many things, and sometimes many people's desire for money is even greater than our desire for core coins." 】
【"Money?" Metzl and Gamel looked at each other. Although they also began to understand humans, Metzl knew more about medical treatment and liked to watch romantic movies and novels. He didn't know much about technology. 】
【Not to mention the simple Gamel, he just likes to watch animations and funny things, and he doesn't know much about these technologies. 】
【"I am looking forward to it now. When I meet Anku and Kazali, they will be shocked." After the words fell, Wu Fan turned into his original body. 】
【And now Wu Fan's armor has been fully restored. 】
Chapter 9 18-year-old girl Pinoko
【"Anku, what did Soma tell you yesterday?" Because they were arranged, Souta and Anku went out together at noon. 】
【"He said he could help me find another core coin and give it as a Christmas gift."】
【"Gift. I don't know what to give." After hearing Anku's words, Souta scratched his head, but then complained: "Soma-san's intelligence is really amazing, it seems that he knows everything. But what if some of Anku's core coins are damaged?"】
【"Core coins will not be damaged so easily." And Anku replied like this. 】
【While the two were shopping, there were always two eyes in the sky watching them, and Anku didn't feel anything at all. 】
【Until the two just came out of a store, an attack like lightning fell to the ground, Anku pushed Souta away, and the two dodged the attack together. 】
【"Is it a Desire Devourer?" Souta, who fell to the ground, looked around for the attack, but Anku looked around and said, "This energy fluctuation is indeed a Desire Devourer, but I can't sense it." 】
【"Huh?" Souta was a little confused, but soon found that this attack didn't seem to be aimed at him, but was accidentally dropped, and the power of this attack was not strong, because just now an attack fell on someone else, and then that person was just numb for a while, and then his head was like an afro, but his body looked fine. 】
【"So cute!" Hearing such a voice, Anku and Souta looked at each other and rushed over immediately. 】
【There was a crowd in front of them, and in the crowd, there was a strange little guy, who looked like a cat, but there was a small light on his head like the one on the head of the anglerfish in the sea, and there were also fins on his back. 】
【"Desire Devourer?" Zongtai looked at Anku next to him in confusion, and Anku was also surprised: "It is indeed a Desire Devourer." 】
【Why was Zongtai so confused? That is, although the Desire Devourers that appeared before all had the appearance of animals, they all looked very scary, or very ferocious, but the Desire Devourer in front of him was very cute, and there was a kind of cuteness that made people want to pity him at a glance. 】
【However, since he knew from Anku that it was a Desire Devourer, Zongtai naturally began to evacuate the crowd, and then prepared to have a good chat with this Desire Devourer, but after everyone dispersed, this Desire Devourer, who looked like a cat and an anglerfish, flashed a coin, and then turned back into a cute little girl. 】
【She had brown watermelon-style hair with a few bows on it, brown eyes, and a cute little skirt. She scratched her head in distress: "Really, I'm out of control again."】
【"Little sister, are you okay?" Souta asked worriedly. 】
【"I'm eighteen years old now, not a little sister." The little girl looked at Souta with a pout, just pouting her mouth, really didn't look like eighteen years old at all. : "My name is Pinocchio, what about you?"】
【"Souta Kotori..." Souta answered in a daze, and then looked surprised: "What! Eighteen years old?"】
【"Can you not be so loud? Because of that weirdo, my ears are super sensitive now." The little girl named Pinoko covered her ears and said helplessly. 】
【"Sorry." Seeing this, Souta immediately apologized. 】
【After a brief chat, Souta and Anku took the little girl who claimed to be eighteen years old and named Pinoko back to Wagunaria. And Pinoko also explained his situation. 】
【"You mean, you were thrown a cell coin by a yellow-haired man wearing a hat some time ago?" Souta asked in surprise. Pinoko, who had just had a sundae and was eating happily, nodded and said, "Well, that strange guy threw a strange coin at me when the doctor was not around, and then sometimes I would become that strange."】
【"It's Kazari." Anku's expression was very ugly, and his eyes were on Pinoko: "He was experimenting with two core coins to create a kind of devouring monster."】
【"But using such a young child for an experiment, Kazari." Souta seemed very angry, of course, he had to ignore Pinoko's words next to him, "I'm 18 years old." 】
【"Kazari, that guy, he actually went this far." Anku punched the table with an angry look, and glanced at Pinoko at the same time. 】
【"The thoughts of human cubs are not mature, so if you use the desires of human cubs to create a Desire Devourer, it will almost never work. But this little girl, although her body is that of a human cub, her desires are relatively fixed."】
