Chapter 57

In the Meiji era, a couple in a wealthy family in Saitama Prefecture, Tokyo, gave birth to a girl. Because they were nearly 40 years old when they got the child, the girl's parents doted on the child.

The girl was also very competitive. She was smart and clever at a young age. She was known as a child prodigy when she was three years old. If life could continue like this, the future of this family would definitely be happy.

Unfortunately, a sudden fire completely broke it all. The originally wealthy family was burned into poverty by the fire, and the smart girl was also disfigured by the fire.

But for the girl, the most painful thing is far more than that. Because of her parents' doting, the girl was accustomed to a rich life with clothes and food provided, but now her life is worse than that of a beggar.

The cruel reality gradually distorted the girl's character, making her increasingly resentful of her parents for not being able to provide her with a wealthy life as before. She insulted her incompetent parents every day, but she never thought about whose playfulness caused the fire that caused all this.

The girl's mother was a cowardly woman. The only thing she could do when facing her daughter's insults every day was to wash her face with tears. The daughter's father was also a man who spoiled his daughter too much. Seeing his daughter's increasingly distorted character, the daughter's father did not think about correcting his daughter, but thought about doing everything he could to meet his daughter's requirements.

Gradually, the family changed. Under the influence of the distorted daughter, they learned to cheat, steal, and learn all kinds of depraved and shameless means. The daughter's mother was so cowardly that she would not refuse any request from her daughter, and the daughter's father, although he had a trace of conscience, could not resist the doting on his daughter in the end.

But fate had long been destined. If you do too much evil, you will eventually be punished. A family that was exposed for cheating was attacked by indignant people, and finally the scarred family was casually abandoned by the stinking ditch.

Perhaps it was the girl's strong reluctance and resentful evil thoughts that attracted a certain existence that happened to pass by. Under the impulse of that adult, three fox ghosts were born into the world.

Among them, the pink-eared fox ghost that the girl turned into had the darkest and most resentful heart, but the strongest one was the black-eared fox ghost that the girl's father turned into. Perhaps the last conscience had not yet been extinguished. The black-eared fox ghost rarely rejected his daughter's request to kill people at will for the first time, and made an agreement that he would never harm minors.

In this way, the three fox ghosts killed nearly a hundred people in more than ten years, and the most ridiculous thing was that the agreement made by the black-eared fox ghost was a complete joke. Whenever the pink-eared fox ghost wanted to attack those underage children, the black-eared fox ghost would verbally persuade them, but once the pink-eared fox ghost spoke, the black-eared fox ghost would no longer stop it.

The blood ghost technique of the pink-eared fox ghost had no effect on the black-eared fox ghost. The reason why it was controlled by the pink-eared fox ghost was entirely because of its extremely twisted doting on its daughter.

Seeing the pink-eared fox ghost disappearing in front of him with a resentful expression, tears suddenly welled up in the black-eared fox ghost's head, and the memories of his life gradually emerged. The black-eared fox ghost opened his big mouth full of fangs and wailed: "No! Lingzi! It's all because of Dad's uselessness! It's Dad's uselessness! It's Dad who can't give you the life you want, it's all my fault!"

Shinichi pulled out the Nichirin sword, walked to the black-eared fox ghost's head, squatted down, and said with a hint of disgust: "It's really your fault. You have indulged a monster with a resentful heart! If you can discipline your own daughter and give her the right ideas, none of this will happen.

Indulgence is the most poisonous poison in the world, and you, who have the ability to stop all these sins, chose to indulge, which is a greater sin than sin! Go to hell and repent with your daughter!"

Puff! The Sun Blade pierced into the head of the black-eared fox demon, and the vitality was activated. The demon's head was turned into ashes. At the same time, the brown-eared fox demon, who had not said a word from beginning to end, also turned into ashes.

Shinichi just shook his head at this pitiful woman.

The three fox demons turned into ashes, and the special mark in the closed eyes of the hunters "lying" on the ground also dissipated.

"Ka! Ka! Shinichi successfully killed three evil demons!!" On Shinichi's shoulder, the crow Eizo looked very happy and waved his wings, and the demon-like Enji also lifted the black wolf dog description at this time, and turned back into a chubby little Shiba Inu, rubbing Shinichi's trouser legs for praise.

Shinichi put the Sun Blade sheath standing on the ground back into his waist, swish! The Sun Blade was sheathed, and he casually patted the dust on the green feather fabric, "Enji, Eizo, we should go."

The sun rose in the eastern sky, and the sun was shining completely.Before the earth, the village chief of Takayama Village brought many villagers and carried out more than a dozen extremely weak hunters and two hunters who died unfortunately from the southern forest.

The pink-eared fox ghost has a blood demon art of control. In order to pursue the freshness of human flesh, the pink-eared fox ghost generally does not choose to kill all humans after catching them, but uses blood demon art to control these humans, like keeping them in captivity, and eat them at any time.

When the village chief of Takayama Village finished saving people and turned around to thank the young demon slayer swordsman, he was surprised to find that the figure wearing a green feather cloth was gone.

The image of the demon slayer team protecting humans in the dark night suddenly appeared vividly in the heart of the village chief of Takayama Village, which made this respected existence respectful.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The matter of Takayama Village came to an end, and Shinichi embarked on a new journey again.

In the next month or so, Shinichi received four more missions to kill evil spirits, but one of them was fake, and was just a trick by a charlatan with some magic tricks.

But the other three were real evil spirit incidents, and Shinichi was no longer acting alone. Every time he performed a mission, some members of the Demon Slayer Team would come forward to seek a team, from low-level Gui-level swordsmen to the same-level B-level swordsmen.

Gradually, a rumor spread among the Demon Slayer Team that when you meet a B-level swordsman with a fat Shiba Inu who likes sweets, you can perform the mission with confidence, because even if you step into the underworld while fighting the evil spirit, as long as you say that you "like" the Dorayaki of the B-level swordsman, he can pull you back from the underworld.

Of course, you'd better really eat the Dorayaki given by the swordsman, otherwise the swordsman will be angry and will be petty and take out a small notebook to write down your name. (Shinichi: Slander! Total slander! I was just trying to remember the names of my teammates!)
