Mask: Begins with training with Hibiki

Looking at Anda Asumi, Todoroki smiled and nodded and introduced himself.

"I'm Hong Gui, and I'm currently working on becoming an independent ghost."

Anda Asumei immediately reached out and shook hands with Todoroki:

"My name is Ando Asume, and my master is Hibiki. Please take care of me in the future."

Hinajia saw the two of them chatting, and hurriedly dragged them into the store:

"Come on, come on, don't stand here. Why are you chatting here?"

After entering the store, Hinajia looked at Todoroki expectantly and asked, "So what are you doing here today?"

Honggui then said seriously:

"I am now going to clear the scene of the demonized monsters. First, I will come to the Affairs Bureau to submit a report on recent activities."

When Hinajia heard that Todoroki was not looking for her, she looked a little disappointed, but she still responded:

"Oh, that's not bad either."

Hong Gui seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Hinaka and tried to flee the scene in a hurry.

"In that case, I'll excuse myself and go look for the Director of Affairs first."

Then he dodged the two of them and ran into the basement.

Todoroki, who had just arrived in the basement, saw Tachibana Sejiro and hurriedly greeted him:

"Good morning, Director of Affairs. I am here to submit a report on recent activities."

Tachibana Sejiro looked at Todoroki and said with a smile:

"Honggui, good morning. Just leave the report here. Have you had breakfast? Do you want some dumplings?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Gui's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "I really haven't eaten it yet."

Tachibana Sejiro smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you some dumplings."

Then Tachibana Sejiro walked upstairs and brought down a large plate of dumplings.

Hong Gui looked at Tuanzi with shining eyes. This number was too pleasing. He clapped his hands and said:

"I'm starting."

Then he just started to move left and right and stuffed his mouth full.

Tachibana Sejiro looked at Todoroki eating dango and took a deep breath and muttered:

"You are really young and can eat a lot."

Then he poured a cup of tea for Hong Gui.

Todoroki, who was busy eating, didn't hear clearly what Tachibana Sejiro said, and asked vaguely:

"What did you say?"

Tachibana Sejiro smiled and said, "Nothing, they just said you are young and can eat a lot."

After swallowing the dumpling in his mouth, Todoroki said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, fighting is very tiring after all. Since I started to act on my own, I have eaten more than before."

Tachibana Sejiro smiled and asked: "How does it feel after you become a ghost?"

"I feel like everything is going well."

Seeing Todoroki's serious expression, Tachibana Sejiro stood up and looked at him with interest and asked:

"Were you this serious when you were with Hinaka?"

Hong Gui smiled awkwardly, and then found a chance to leave.

"Well, I'm almost leaving too."

Tachibana Sejiro nodded and said, "Okay, crab monsters have appeared frequently recently, so I'm sorry to trouble you."

Hong Gui nodded seriously and said, "I will solve all the suspicious locations along the coast one by one. I'll excuse myself now."

He turned around and tried to leave, but Tachibana Sejiro hurriedly called out to him:

"Boom, let me pack these dumplings for you so you can eat them on the way, so you won't be too hungry to fight."

Hong Gui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then thank you for your help."

After the dumplings were packed, Todoroki left Tachibana Dessert Shop.

And the crab killing machine is back online and working again.

Todoroki quickly ran to the front hall and said to Hinaka as she was packing her things:

"Sorry to bother you, I'll leave now."

Then he turned around and tried to walk out the door, but Hinajia hurriedly called out:

"Please be careful. Ancient books record that whenever crab monsters appear frequently, bad things are about to happen."

Hong Gui nodded seriously: "I understand."

Hinajia smiled and looked at Todoroki and whispered:

"We need to reschedule the time for our next dinner date."

Hong Gui's face suddenly became awkward, and he stammered:

"Ah, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's change the time. I'll be leaving then."

He then turned around and was about to leave, but the store door suddenly opened and Hitomi Mochida suddenly walked in.

When Mochida Hitomi saw Todoroki, she was stunned for a moment and said:

"It's you, cousin."

However, Todagawa, who was eager to eat the crabs, did not say much and said directly:

"I have to go take care of Xiaotong first. I'll treat you to a meal next time we meet. Bye."

Then he walked out, Hitomi Mochida scratched his head, not knowing what was so important.

After getting on the car, Hong Gui recited loudly the code of conduct that Zhan Gui taught him.

“First, keep a normal attitude towards everything. Second, remember not to show off and let nature take its course…”

After receiving a call from Tachibana Sejiro, Hibiki and others on the side hit it off and went to the scene to watch Honggui exorcise the demonized monster.

On the other side, Tachibana was visited by Slayer, who had just returned from Yoshino's hot spring treatment.

As soon as Zangui opened the door, Anda Asume rushed forward:

"welcome".

"Hello".

Anda Asumu was the first to recognize Zanki.

"It was you when I was in the hospital."

Zangui also looked at Anda Asumu in surprise and said:

"Wait, it's really you."

"Thank you for your time in the hospital."

"It's okay, are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine, thanks to you."

Then the Demon Slayer asked in surprise:

"Do you work here?"

"Yes, I started working here today."

Anda Asumi hurriedly pulled out a stool: "Please sit down."

Zhan Gui raised his hand to refuse, "Not today, I'm here to look for someone."

After cleaning up the kitchen, Hinaka came out. After seeing the demon killer, she smiled and walked over:

"Mr. Zhan, you're back."

Zangui nodded and handed the gift in his hand to Hinajia and asked:

"Is the Director General here?"

After Hinajia nodded, Zanki walked towards the basement. Anda Asume looked at Zanki's back and immediately understood Zanki's identity.

In the basement, Tachibana Sejiro poured a cup of tea for Zanki and asked with a smile:

"How is it? Hot spring therapy is good for the body."

Demon Slayer smiled and said:

"I feel much better now, but I'm still embarrassed. Not only did I retire so suddenly, but I also had to take such a long leave."

Tachibana Sejiro smiled and said:

"It's not your fault. After all, you have worked hard enough."

"I'm really sorry."

"Speaking of future arrangements, you can train the new recruits according to your wishes. After all, it's reassuring to have a veteran like you leading them."

Zhan Gui smiled and then asked the question that he had always been concerned about.

"By the way, how is Hong? Is he working hard?"

Tachibana Sejiro's expression suddenly became strange, and he said in a weird tone:

"Honggui is indeed working hard, but...you still have to see for yourself."

Then he took out the mission report.
