Chapter 57

"You must save me! Tanjiro!"

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro placed his hands on the shoulders of Zenitsu Agatsuma who was kneeling in front of him.

"Why did you ask me to save you? Zenitsu, why did you become a swordsman?

Why are you so shameless?"

"You are going too far!!"

Agatsuma Zenitsu heard the word shameless and retorted with a bit of a breakdown.

"I was tricked into owing a debt by a woman! The old man who paid off my debt happened to be a trainer of the Demon Slayer Corps! Every day is a hellish training! I might as well just die!

During the final selection, I thought I was dead, but I was lucky enough to survive with you. The Demon Slayer Corps is completely different from what grandpa said!!

Now I feel like I’m in hell every day!

Ah, so scary! So scary! So scary!

I will definitely be eaten by a demon soon!!

My brain will be sucked out of my ears before I die!

No! I don’t want it! Save me!"

Ji Qingfeng and Tanjiro were somewhat stunned watching Agatsuma Zenitsu's facial expression.

Not to mention that Tanjiro had never seen it before, Ji Qingfeng had never seen Agatsuma Zenitsu like this in more than a year in Momoyama. Agatsuma

Zenitsu's sparrow seemed to be talking to Ji Qingfeng and Tanjiro's crow, seemingly complaining about being assigned to such a swordsman.

Ji Qingfeng and Tanjiro comforted Agatsuma Zenitsu for a long time before he calmed down.

Because Agatsuma Zenitsu did not have a mission for the time being, the three of them traveled together and went to Tanjiro's mission location this time.

"Are you feeling better?" Tanjiro said to Agatsuma Zenitsu beside him with concern.

"Hmm! After calming down, I feel a little hungry."

"Didn't you bring any food?"

"No, I forgot to ask grandpa for money when I went down the mountain!!"

"Eat this." After hearing the conversation between the two, Ji Qingfeng took out some bacon and some dry food from his arms.

"These are the only foods that are easy to store, so just make do with them."

Ji Qingfeng shared the remaining food with Tanjiro and Agatsuma Zenitsu, and he didn't keep any for himself. As an adult, it didn't matter if he missed a meal.

"Suddenly I want to eat the food made by Qingfeng brother!!"After taking the food, Agatsuma Zenitsu started to cry again while eating.

"I said, can you please not make it difficult for me? How can I cook here?

If you want to eat, just wait until this mission is over."

Ji Qingfeng smiled and rubbed my wife Zenitsu's head, messing up his hairstyle.

Tanjiro saw that Ji Qingfeng didn't eat and was about to share some of the food in his hand with Ji Qingfeng.

"Stop being so hypocritical and eat well. After you are full, it is time to go on the mission. Don't expect me to help you. I have other things to do later." Ji Qingfeng stopped Tanjiro's action and said

‘Fake. Tanjiro immediately smelled that Ji Qingfeng was not telling the truth, but he did not ask Ji Qingfeng why he lied and said something would happen later.

He probably guessed that Brother Qingfeng wanted them to complete the task on their own, rather than fighting the ghosts under his protection with the mentality of a picnic.

"I understand why Zenitsu said that ghosts are scary, but it's not okay to make Sparrow feel troubled."

"Eh? The sparrow is troubled? How did you know?"

"You are always unwilling to go to work, and you always flirt with girls right away. Your snoring is particularly loud, which is very annoying to others.

This is what it said."

Faced with Agatsuma Zenitsu's questioning, Tanjiro raised his hand, pointed at the sparrow in his palm, and said seriously

"What does it say? Do you understand what birds say?"

"Um!"

"Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?"

Agatsuma Zenitsu said to Tanjiro with an incredulous look on his face.

"Enough of the small talk, you guys should hurry up and carry out your mission, I have something else to do and I have to leave!" Ji Qingfeng said goodbye at the right time, ready to watch them complete this mission in secret.

"Eh? Brother Qingfeng is leaving? So soon?

No way! At least wait until this mission is completed!!" Agatsuma Zenitsu looked reluctant. If Ji Qingfeng was here, this mission would definitely be completed easily.

Although he knew in his heart that Ji Qingfeng, as the Sound Pillar, could not always follow them, he did not expect it to be so soon.

"Come on! Zenitsu, after completing this mission, I will make you a delicious meal."

Under the extremely reluctant gaze of my wife Zenitsu, Ji Qingfeng quickly disappeared from the sight of the two, took a short detour, and went to the mission location, the Drum Mansion, in advance.

After a while, Ji Qingfeng arrived in front of a house in the forest.

"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go rescue your brother."Ji Qingfeng said to the two children hiding behind a big tree while driving the transparent world to observe the Drum Mansion.

Without waiting for the two children to answer, Ji Qingfeng entered the Drum Mansion from the main gate.

In order not to distract Tanjiro and Agatsuma Zenitsu, he would rescue the boy with thin blood in advance.

After letting them quickly adapt to the rhythm of fighting with demons, it would be time for him to set out to find Douma. He couldn't always follow them as a babysitter and help once or twice. They would never grow up unless they encountered a real life and death crisis.

After entering the Drum Mansion, Ji Qingfeng, who drove the transparent world, went straight to the boy with thin blood. On the way, he passed by the former Lower Six, Hibiki, and said hello.

"Hello!"

Xiang Kai only felt his eyes flash, and then a gust of wind blew past with a greeting, making him slightly stunned.

Then, while he was still stunned,

"Goodbye, tsk, that's what I said, but I'll definitely never see you again."

Xiang Kai saw clearly this time that it was a human swordsman with purple-black hair tied in a high ponytail who took away the thin-blooded boy who had escaped and was hiding somewhere.

"No, unforgivable! That's my prey! And my drum!"

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

After Xiang Kai came to his senses, he began to beat the drum on his body and activated his blood ghost art. The house began to rotate and change its position. He wanted to stop Ji Qingfeng from taking away the thin-blooded boy.

But it was futile after all. Ji Qingfeng left the Drum Mansion with the thin-blooded boy unimpeded. On the way back, he even had time to bring out some other people who were lucky enough not to be eaten. The other two ghosts in the Drum Mansion who were attracted by the thin blood all had confused faces. The prey in front of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hashibira Inosuke, who had been running around in the Drum Mansion for several days, stared at the window where Ji Qingfeng took people away.

He now wanted to rush out and fight the swordsman just now.
