Dramatic Blade

The original home of Asahikawa was in Ukiyo-e Town.

Before that, he rented a studio near the magazine office to facilitate the serialization of comics, and it was also his residence during the serialization period.

So he hasn't come back here for six or seven years.

Kamado Tanjiro, who was traveling with him, didn't know much about manga, but after helping to pack things for two days, he felt that manga artist is a very powerful profession.

At least Asahikawa said that he draws every day, and he didn't miss practice during the moving period, and all the paintings are very beautiful!

This young man from the countryside knew that what he paid was rewarded, but before he knew Chaorichuan's income, he was already overwhelmed by the building in front of him.

"Okay, what a big house!"

Tanjiro said in surprise.

The quaint three-storey Japanese-style house occupies a large area and has two courtyards, one large and one small. Outsiders can only see the high numbers above the fence and the repaired old-fashioned roof. The original-colored wooden corridors communicate with the surrounding rooms and patio.

The nameplate next to the original wooden door reads the words "Asahikawa".

Asahikawa stood next to him eating ice cream for a while. Although he couldn't taste the taste as a ghost, he still had the warm and cold touch, so he dug carefully and replied:

"It's an old house. Ubuyashiki seems to have helped me renovate it a while ago, and the effect is good."

Two people stood in the shadow of the building, waiting for the delivery man to help move boxes of drawings and books inside.

"Is your lord and Asahikawa on good terms?"

"I watched him grow up." A certain ghost said without blinking.

If other people were here, they would definitely just want to push this manga artist who looks like a high school student into the ground, but Tanjiro is different, he only thinks that the manga artist is very powerful.

"Amazing!"

He just said that directly, with a look of being completely convinced, and his eyes were still shining.

Asahikawa: "..."

I have never seen such a simple and unaffected person!

He gave up: "Well, the relationship is just like that."

Thousands of years ago, the ghost killing team was established by the Ubuyashiki clan. Everyone knows that hunting ghosts is an extremely dangerous job, and it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. The assets of a family cannot support such a large consumption.

Asahikawa asked Tanjiro: "Did you know that in the old days, there were businessmen who had been rescued who were willing to subsidize Sanyashiki and provide unconditional help to ghost hunters?"

The boy nodded: "People from the hidden army told me that as long as you go to some designated hotels and restaurants with the certificate given by the ghost killing team, you can get discounts or even free entertainment!"

"So the human relationship management of Sanyashiki has a long history. Even in the capitalized world, there are still many people who are willing to help them. Of course, people in future generations may not know the existence of ghosts, but Sanyashiki itself has considerable strength and autonomy. The developed industry is enough to make those people look at it differently, knowing that it must be a good decision to cooperate with Sanyashiki.”

However, rather than saying that the assets of "Sanyushiki" are huge, it is better to say that they are very scattered and dense.

After all, in order to prevent ghosts from finding the existence of this family, it is impossible to disclose these three words to the public.

Therefore, the industries that support the Demon Slayer Team are also independent on the surface, each with its own brand trademarks. For example, Choya, which specializes in accepting the wounded, seems to be just a nursing home, and the stronghold responsible for the command of the Tokyo Hidden Force is also covered with the security company's logo. Leather blah blah blah.

Asahikawa briefly introduced some of the industries involved in the Demon Slayer Squad. Tanjiro listened with a spirited expression, and probably understood half of the ten sentences.

"Asahikawa knows these things well."

"..." The cartoonist was used to his simplicity, and continued with a spoon in his mouth: "Because the comics became popular and made a lot of money, I don't need so much money and I'm not very good at managing it, so I just invested it in the production house." .”

As for the amount of money, he only knows a rough figure. He has been making a living by painting. In the old days, there were not no unscrupulous ghosts who thirsted for flesh and blood to invite him, but there was a big family to manage it for him. With everything in mind, he just needs to do some research and assistance, and even help him hide his identity to create the "Asahikawa Family", so why didn't he choose Ubayashiki?

He is not a pure ghost, so there is no pressure to cooperate with the ghost hunter, but it is easy to say that it is contradictory.

In the afternoon, Tanjiro left after receiving a new job notice, and made an appointment to bring a gift and visit again later.

Zhao Richuan was not polite to him for a while, and after sending him away, he went in and looked around. The house was very clean, and it must have been cleaned by someone when he was not around.

He had to sigh in his heart: It is worthy of being a trustworthy housekeeper!

"It seems that we only need to clean up the studio, let's do it!"

Generally, Japanese-style mansions have two floors, and the third floor is mostly a place for storage, but Asahikawa’s house has a relatively large space, and he uses traditional paper and pen to paint, so he directly decided to clean up the third floor became a workshop.

It didn't take long to tidy up only one room. Asahikawa finally put down the pen holder and looked around.

Tool, OK!Manuscript paper, OK!Bookshelf, OK!

He looked out of the window, and there was a huge cherry tree outside the window. Although it hadn't reached the flowering period yet, the bow-shaped branches hanging down had already produced many pink buds, enough to make people look forward to its blooming appearance.

Asahikawa couldn't help but think elatedly for a moment, maybe he will be able to draw pictures in front of the beautiful flower scene in a few days, it's awesome!

He calculated the time again, there was still some time before Toki no Ichiro came, stretched himself, and took out his cell phone.

[Ashi, who is painting, joins the "Zhuhe Conference" chat room]

/Ashi who draws pictures: I'm back in Ukiyo-e Town! @炎·持火康寿郎 Passing by here, you can come and sit for a while! @夏·时通无一郎 Is he on his way! ? @虫·蝴蝶忍蝶屋 Has a new nursing home opened here! ? @产屋升 The house is very clean!Many thanks!

/ Wind · Undead Chuan Shiya: Hello! ! !I said not to send so many words at once! ! !

/ Ah Shi who paints: You hit me!

/Love·Ganluji Mitsuri: Mr. Shi is still so bold!Have you returned to Ukiyo-e Town? I really want to have a chance to visit your home!

/Snake Iguro Kobane: ...

/Insect · Butterfly Ninja: (address) here

/Yin·Yusui Tianyuan: Huh?Did this kid run back to his hometown? Remember to prepare wine!When I finish solving the ghosts in Kabukicho, I will go and have a sit!

/Yan·Purgatory Xingshoulang: Good!

Asahikawa looked at the address of Butterfly Ninja for a while, and found that it was not very far away, so he wrote down the address.

The members of the chat room are basically the top executives of the Ghost Killing Team. The "column meeting" actually refers to the meeting where the master of the quarter will gather all the pillars for information exchange, battle summary, clue analysis and other activities. In the past, the traffic was not developed The time is once every six months or once a year, and now it has been compressed to once every quarter.

As the "old man" in the ghost killing team, Asahikawa watched the pillars exchange information about ghosts without hindrance in this nameless chat room one day, so he silently changed the name of the chat room to this, and received nothing. objection.

/Ubuyashiki: I've had a hard time relocating.

/Xia·Shitouwuichiro: @画画的阿时在路路

/ Ah Shi who draws pictures: Good (*≧▽≦)!

"It should be Tianyin who is helping to reply."

Seeing the id "Ubuyashiki" speak, Asahikawa muttered something for a while, and made a facial expression skillfully.

It is not a secret that the current head of the Demon Slayer Squad, Miyashiki Yoya, is seriously ill. Only Zhura and him know that it is from some kind of curse, so the replies on the phone are usually his wife, Miyashiki Tianyin, who is helping.

After waiting for a while, the chat room fell silent.

Zhu is very busy. Except for Shitou Muichiro who is still studying as a minor, the other Zhu is not only the main force in the investigation of Twelve Crescent Moon Ghosts and Ghost Dance Tsuji Wuyou, but also undertakes a lot of investigation, fighting, and ghost hunting. However, even though the battles mostly occur at night, in order to facilitate actions during the day, the pillars themselves have a highly mobile job disguised on the surface.

Shi Tou Wuichiro, as Xiazhu, naturally didn't study peacefully during the day and went hunting ghosts at night.The Ice Emperor where he works is a private aristocratic academy. There are a lot of activities both on and off campus. Excellent teachers are also opening up broad horizons for young people, and they can learn a lot about things.

The so-called want to understand a circle, there is nothing faster and more accurate than personal participation.

What's more, for the Ubuyashiki clan, being able to last for thousands of years is still the backing of all ghost hunters. First of all, it is impossible to prevent teenagers who should receive education from going to school, even if the existence of ghosts is very strange and out of touch with technological cognition , The essence of ghost hunters is also ordinary people. Letting them progress with the times is a win-win decision made by this family.

For a moment, Asahikawa felt that this decision was long-term and wise, and he became more determined to invest in real estate!

He didn't believe that the guy named Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi had been a ghost for more than 1000 years and could still manage and organize his compatriots like a human being. It can be seen from the old-fashioned transposition hierarchy of the twelve strings!

After waiting for a while, he cut out another chat room.

【Ding--】

【AsahikawaNO.1 joins the chat room of "~Manga Drawing Seminar~"】

Asahikawa NO.1: Everyone, my studio has been rented out and returned to my home in Ukiyo-e Town, and I will not participate in the next tea party for the time being!Yumeno-sensei, I have already sent you your sailor suit, remember to sign for it!

After sending the message, without waiting for a reply, Asahikawa heard a voice from downstairs, thinking that Tokito no Ichiro should have arrived.

He put down his phone and went downstairs.
