Hearing this, Lin was truly stunned.
What a terrible thing to say.
Was this really Giyu Tomioka knocking on the door?
But considering that Giyu Tomioka was never good with words, Lin did not find it surprising.
He silently complained to himself as he opened the door.
Seeing the door open, Giyu Tomioka said in a deep voice, “I am Giyu Tomioka of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Please tell me what happened here.” His tone was so flat that it sounded stiff, even carrying a hint of command.
Even though Lin understood Giyu Tomioka’s quirks very well, he still felt a bit displeased at this moment.
That’s right, Giyu Tomioka just had that peculiar talent.
He could annoy others even when speaking normally.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, as another set of footsteps approached from outside.
A person dressed in black, wearing a white mask with thick black stripes, ran over, panting.
When Giyu Tomioka heard the scream on the summit of Mount Kumotori, he had already used his Kasugai Crow to send the message out.
A demon whose scream could echo across the entire Mount Kumotori was definitely not an ordinary one.
Therefore, the Kasugai Crow not only passed the news to the nearest Kakushi but also relayed it all the way back to headquarters.
As the Kakushi closest to Mount Kumotori, she was the first to arrive.
However, when she saw Giyu Tomioka confronting a swordsman with deep red hair and a red haori, she immediately thought, “Oh no.” During the Hashira meetings at headquarters, she had seen more than once how Mr.
Tomioka would say just one sentence and end up surrounded by the Wind Hashira and Serpent Hashira, looking like a conflict was about to break out.
Even Kocho Shinobu, who was usually smiling at everyone, had to take deep breaths whenever she spoke to Mr.
Tomioka just to barely maintain the smile on her face.
In such a situation, letting Mr.
Tomioka communicate with others was definitely not a wise move.
She ran over, blocked Giyu Tomioka, and said helplessly, “Mr.
Tomioka, please let me explain.” Giyu Tomioka looked at her and nodded slightly, “Go ahead if you want to.” As soon as these words came out, Lin could clearly perceive it even without using the Transparent World.
This Kakushi, whose features clearly marked her as female, had veins bulging on her forehead after hearing Giyu Tomioka’s words.
She took a deep breath and smiled at Lin, “Hello, I am a Kakushi in charge of logistics for the Demon Slayer Corps.
You can call me Haruko Momoki.
The Demon Slayer Corps is an organization dedicated to slaying demons.
We…” After introducing the Demon Slayer Corps, Haruko Momoki’s gaze went past Lin and looked into the room.
“As a Kakushi, I am responsible for aftermath cleanup and emergency aid.
You can tell me the details when it is convenient.
But the people inside seem to have fainted.
May I go check on their condition first?” It must be said that this female Kakushi’s communication skills were far better than Giyu Tomioka’s.
Moreover, looking at her dark green eyes, Lin felt they were somewhat familiar.
It seemed that in the original story, this Kakushi was the one responsible for the first leg of transporting Tanjiro from the Butterfly Mansion to the Swordsmith Village.
Was she able to introduce herself now because she was not responsible for guide work yet?
These thoughts flashed through Lin’s mind.
He looked at Haruko Momoki and said, “Just call me Lin.
I am, well, a swordsman for the sake of interest.
When I passed by here, I scared off the demon and protected this family.” Haruko Momoki was stunned for a moment.
Assuming the other party did not want to reveal his surname, she did not press for it.
She nodded.
Although she still had many questions in her mind, the most important thing right now was to check on the condition of the family inside.
But after she went inside to check, Giyu Tomioka and Lin were left staring at each other.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the door became awkward.
Lin could only lower his head to check his Restoration System.
Although he only swung his sword twice in this battle, his synchronization rate had risen to 17%.
One can only say, as expected of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Although this Demon King was cowardly and trashy, cutting him really increased experience fast.
Of course, Lin had considered fleeing thousands of miles away immediately after resolving this crisis.
After all, in the original story, Muzan Kibutsuji had lived for a thousand years without ever leaving Japan.
As long as he was far enough away, he would not have to worry about Muzan Kibutsuji coming after him.
But before he transmigrated, he could only put a figure of Muzan Kibutsuji in the sun to bake.
Now that he had transmigrated, would it not be a pity if he could not expose the real Muzan Kibutsuji to the sun?
Furthermore, the character he was cosplaying was Muzan Kibutsuji’s living daddy, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
If for others, the difficulty in eliminating Muzan Kibutsuji was finding him and eliminating him, then for Lin, after increasing his synchronization rate, there was likely only one difficulty left—finding him.
Lin was still pondering when he saw that Haruko Momoki had finished checking on the Kamado family and was looking at him and Giyu Tomioka.
“This family is not in serious condition, but it seems they suffered a shock and will need some time to wake up.
But there are signs that a demon has been here, so it is not safe.
Therefore, I suggest contacting other nearby Kakushi and the nearest Wisteria House to get this family out of here first.
After they wake up, we can decide whether to send them to the Butterfly Mansion depending on the situation.” Haruko Momoki’s suggestion was very reasonable.
Giyu Tomioka also summoned his Kasugai Crow again and relayed everything he had seen and heard since coming up the mountain.
Lin interjected, “Wait a moment.
There should be another member of this family down the mountain, and he will likely return early in the morning.” Hearing this, Haruko Momoki was stunned for a moment, and new doubts arose in her heart.
But she still did not say much and just said, “No problem.
After the other Kakushi arrive, someone will go look for him and then send him to the Wisteria House together.” Lin nodded and said nothing more.
He had considered following Giyu Tomioka or Haruko Momoki, establishing a relationship with the Demon Slayer Corps, or even joining the Demon Slayer Corps.
After all, whether it was going to the Swordsmith Village to get Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s Nichirin Sword or preparing some little surprises for Muzan Kibutsuji and Kokushibo, both required the cooperation of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Furthermore, he had transmigrated with absolutely no money in his pocket, and even eating was a problem.
The only high-paying job he knew of currently was being a swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps.
But thinking about the things he could not easily explain, Lin had not figured out how to bring it up yet.
Flap, flap.
Just then, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the sky.
“Caw!
Message!
Message!
A message from headquarters!
Hashira Giyu Tomioka, please invite the swordsman from Mount Kumotori back to headquarters!” Lin was instantly stunned.
Could the Kasugai Crow deliver messages this fast?
