Dramatic Blade

Asahikawa stood in front of the gate of a shrine with a dazed expression, and silently closed the guard in his hand.

If he was tied back in the previous way, would he be able to pretend that nothing happened?

The scene in front of him has completely changed.

The cold wind is cutting the face, and the weather that was still light snow not long ago has turned cloudy, there are dots of snow on the wet stone steps, and the torii gate made of cement stands high on his head. The gate of a shrine.He looked down the stone steps, and actually saw a tourist team walking towards the shrine following the waving small flags.

Asahikawa stepped on the ground for a moment.

Well, the touch is real, it should not be an illusion.

He was in a daze for a long time before he realized that it was clearly that his Crow's Mouth had come to fruition too quickly, and he had come right into the strange talk they had been guarding against for a long time.

While he was in a daze, the group of tour groups waving small flags had already reached the gate of the shrine.

There were more than ten people in the tour group, and it was lively and lively, which brought popularity to this originally deserted place of Shinto. Asahikawa dodged for a while, and got into the crowd when others were not paying attention.

Although he didn't have Tanjirou's nose and Nuliang Rikusui's familiarity with demon power, he could at least tell that these tourists were all human beings, and he couldn't help worrying.

Could it be that these are all the human beings that this ghost story wants to hunt? In the comics, it is clearly only single digits.

In the story of the cannibal village, there is a story about outsiders attacking their companions because of hunger, so Asahikawa looked at Yamato Shinichi and others for a while, and paid more attention to their status, and because they played black faces, they did not go to deep friendship. People seem very cold and perverse.

But in the story of the shrine, the supporting roles that appear are very simple, they are all cannon fodder, so friends and foes are clearly distinguished, and he can't sit idly by these people.

The tour guide walking in the front suddenly made a sound.

"The Great Shrine, which has been linked to each other for thousands of years, will hold a god sacrifice seven days later. The god master has already arranged a place for us to stay."

The tourists were pleasantly surprised.

"I thought it would be a very old shrine, but I didn't expect it to be pretty good!"

"Hurry up and check out the place to stay, I hope the food will be more generous."

"It is said that there is a hot spring, let's go and enjoy it together!"

For a while, Asahikawa memorized the same key words as in the manga, such as "seven days later" and "God is in the festival", mixed in the crowd to observe carefully, and found a problem.

The tourists in this tour group seem to be in pairs regardless of men, women and children, and the relationship between the pairs is close. It seems that they are not just friends or relatives traveling together, but more like happy newlyweds on their honeymoon.

Wait, it seems that even the tour guide is a male and female couple!

Asahikawa's complexion didn't change for a while, when he heard a familiar female voice behind him, with a hint of teasing:

"Ah, I didn't expect that the first person between us to get out of the single would end up here."

Then there was a healthy and cheerful male voice, "We were wondering if Oni Wu Tsuji was so angry that he wanted to let you go, but we didn't expect you to arrive at the door first."

Asahikawa turned his head for a moment and saw Butterfly Shinobu in a formal kimono and Purgatory Kyojuro dressed as a tourist.

"Purgatory, Butterfly!" Zhao Richuan couldn't help being surprised and delighted for a moment.

The three of them exchanged glances, the strange talk was full of dangers, and it was undoubtedly a good thing to be able to reconcile with teammates first.

Butterfly smiled softly and said, "Let's talk while walking."

The other tourists did not have any suspicion of their mixing in, and the three of them talked with each other as they walked into the shrine with the tour group.

Purgatory Xingshoulang said worriedly: "I came in with Ganlu Temple, and then got separated in the mist. After meeting the tour group, I found that the butterfly was there, so I pretended to be a couple at the request of the tourists and came in."

Although Ganlu Temple is a love pillar, the enemies in the ghost story are mainly monsters, so they can't help but feel a little worried.

Asahikawa said for a while: "The scope of this Youkai Village is estimated to be the entire shrine. After entering, we will first join the Ganlu Temple, and then we will start with the strange stories that will appear at night."

Die Die reluctantly nodded, and she also shared the information she had learned that was not detailed in the manga: "I met a tourist group after passing the torii gate, and I arrived a little earlier than Purgatory, and I heard them say it is The trip is specially provided for couples or lovers who need to go on honeymoon. If you are not a couple, you can’t sign up. The purpose is to get acquainted with the gods of the Taisha Shrine. It is said that as long as couples pray together in the festival, they will be together forever.”

After finishing speaking, Butterfly Ninja took out a water-red amulet from his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "I asked a little bit, and it seems that every couple has a bonded amulet, which comes from that shrine."

Ever since the shrine that distributed the bonded wards was noticed by the Demon Slayer Squad, this shrine seems to be purposely approaching the members of the Demon Slayer Squad.

Just like Asahikawa Ichiki, the ghost hunters all accepted this premonitory item with the idea that instead of falling into the trap unpreparedly, it would be better to pick up the Omoru first.

Among the swordsmen at the pillar level, Butterfly Ninja, Purgatory Kyojuro, and Ganluji Mitsuri met the shrine.

Purgatory Xingshourou said to Asahikawa: "As a result, you were teleported in as soon as you picked up the Omoru. Their target is indeed you."

Purgatory Kyojuro just sighed purely, Asahikawa stuck out his tongue for a moment, remembering the reason for being targeted, the three of them smiled at the same time.

I really want to see Ghost Mai Tsuji's expression when he sees the manga~

The accommodation area is not far away, but the tour guide will stop and introduce a section when passing each building, so he walks slowly.

Zhaikan, Sailor House, Budojo, Kagura Hall... When we walked to the main hall, the shrine's shrine master appeared, and a middle-aged man in a safari suit was waiting for the tour group with several priests.

At this time, the tour guide's tone was very high, and the three of them heard from a distance behind the line that the God Lord planned to provide each couple with a fate stone, and asked everyone to receive it in pairs.

Three people: ... It's broken.

The speed of receiving the fate stone was very fast. There were priests beside the team, and it was difficult for Asahikawa to hide for a while. When he realized it, he had already looked at the priest holding a small stone.

The atmosphere was tense for a while.

Suddenly, Asahi Chuan raised his hand and knocked down the hand of the divine master.

The divine master seemed to be stunned for a moment, his expression gradually became terrifying, his eyes became dark and empty, and he slowly said, "Your Excellency..."

Butterfly Ninja and Purgatory Xingshoulang looked alert. There were more than a dozen humans behind them, but the priests and priests in front of them were all ghosts.

The situation was about to explode, but Asahikawa suddenly took a big step back and inserted himself between the two teammates, confidently:

"We don't need extra stones!

"Have you never seen a love triangle!"

Everyone: ...

In the next second, the ghost who was about to explode couldn't meet the conditions, as if being pushed back by a pair of invisible hands, he retreated fiercely, showing the surprised expression of a divine master.

Butterfly Ninja and Purgatory Xingshourou immediately felt the unbelievable gazes from all directions.

……

Asahikawa’s move is not unattractive. After checking the tourist list for a long time, the two tour guides could only accept with great difficulty that there is indeed a couple in their tour team... There is a "couple" group with a chaotic three-person relationship. .

Since they are going to join the ghost talk, they will definitely be logically consistent in this kind of thing and give them an identity.This is what Asahikawa bet for a while.

The tour group continued to walk deep into the shrine, and the tourists silently distanced themselves from this group. However, because of the good looks of the three of them, from time to time some people would look back frequently, with very complicated eyes.

Butterfly Ninja: ...

Purgatory Xingshoulang: ...

They also just accepted this setting.

The approach and hall of the shrine are quiet and elegant. According to the introduction of the tour guide, Yuyuan Taisha is a thousand-year-old shrine dedicated to the god of Yuyu. Asahigawa saw many torii gates along the way, dark red torii and bright vermilion The red torii gates are densely intertwined, if not all covered with a thin layer of snow, the visual effect should be particularly shocking.

He recognized the style and details of the buildings along the way, but he still couldn't help turning his head and saying to the two, "It's like the whole tour group traveled through time and space."

Butterfly said in a low voice: "But no one finds it strange, Ah Shi, are you sure they are really human?"

Chaorichuan shook his head for a while: "They don't have any evil spirit, I can guarantee that."

The three of them had read the comics in advance, but the number of tourists had completely exceeded their expectations. Purgatory Xingshourou frowned as he looked at the tourist group in front of him, but it unfolded after a while, and said, "Let's take one step at a time. , at least Asahikawa has measured the conditions for ghosts to be able to attack, since the real enemy is at night, we only need to pay attention to this during the day."

Hearing this, Die Die gave someone a cold look: "Well, as long as there is a relationship between people, no matter how chaotic the relationship is, it meets the requirements."

Chaori Chuan said solemnly for a moment: "This is a judgment made to prevent ghosts from hurting innocent people. I don't think there is any problem!"

Anyway, Nuliang Lusheng didn't follow! ...No, who told Nuliang Lusheng not to follow!

Butterfly Shinobu's expression remained unchanged, his expression very gentle.

For a while, Asahikawa silently switched from between the two of them to the other side of Purgatory Kyojuro, who laughed twice and patted him on the shoulder.

The three of them arrived at the rest place without incident, but unexpectedly, Mitsuri of Kanroji Temple appeared in the rest place, as a tourist who arrived at the shrine earlier than Asahikawa.

The girl's light grass green eyes were full of excitement and joy. She ran out of the Japanese room and shouted: "Teacher Purgatory! And Senior Butterfly! You are here too. It's a bit strange here, it seems that they are all lovers. Only I don't..."

Three people:! ! !

Asahikawa, who was walking behind the two, could feel the eyes of the priests following behind the team change again without turning his head.

His brain was running fast, thinking whether it would be useful for him to break up with Butterfly Purgatory on the spot and rush forward to confess to Ganlu Temple.

Because this operation was too coquettish, he saw the sliding door behind the girl gently open before he could pull his face off.

A low and deep voice that made it impossible to distinguish between male and female said, "Miss Ganlusi, didn't you say that it is better for two people to be together..."

Looking at each other, Asahikawa was momentarily surprised, and the owner of the voice was also very surprised.

"Teacher Asahikawa?"

"Old lady boss!?"
