Akira Moriyama noticed Ryosuke's arrival and excitedly went forward.
"Let me tell you, after Mr. Mizukawa stepped down from his position as the Water Pillar, he became a cultivator, spending his days planting and growing flowers! I even went to see him once and almost didn't recognize him; he's gotten so much darker, hahaha..."
With Giyuu taking over, Shizuru Mizukawa smoothly retired, entering a semi-retired lifestyle ahead of schedule.
Ryosuke was not surprised by this.
He patted Akira Moriyama on the shoulder and laughed.
“Mr. Mizukawa has quite the refined taste. I’ll visit him with you when I have some free time.”
Akira Moriyama nodded emphatically.
When the conversation ended, the boy who had been listening quietly stepped forward and greeted Ryosuke.
"Mr. Ryosuke."
"Little Banai! Did you not eat properly again?"
Ryosuke tapped his head, his tone reproachful: "You'll stunt your growth like this! It'll be hard for you to pursue a girl you like!"
Obanai's heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a strange expression.
Does he like girls?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even the beautiful and gentle Butterfly Sisters were only mildly appealing to him.
Obanai subconsciously touched the bandage on her face.
Having had his lips slashed open by a snake demon, leaving a terrifying scar, what girl could possibly like him?
He simply took it as Ryosuke's casual concern as a senior colleague.
"Thank you, Mr. Ryosuke, but I feel like I won't like anyone else, and no one will like me either."
Don't speak too soon!
Ryosuke smiled meaningfully.
Obanai remained baffled, unable to understand the source of Ryosuke's confidence.
After the chat, most of the people had arrived.
As usual, Liangjie sought out local acquaintances to understand the situation.
"Reporting to Lord Naruhashi, the number of people who have gone missing or died recently has reached twenty-seven, mostly in the middle of the night or early morning. Only one member of the Matsuda family, who were attacked by demons a few days ago, survived."
"survivor?"
To survive a ghost attack, one must be either ruthless or a beast.
Following the address provided by Yin, the three arrived at a house where a funeral had just taken place.
The courtyard was deserted, and funeral banners still hung on the porch.
Ryosuke stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door was pulled open a crack.
A boy's face appeared.
He was pale, with black hair and blue eyes, thick eyebrows, and a jade pendant around his neck.
The moment he saw that face, Ryosuke's pupils dilated, and his hand naturally rested on his Nichirin Blade.
The emperor pays off!
Little rascal, I've finally caught you!
Chapter 95 Mr. Ryosuke, please don't say such strange things
Ryosuke narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He really didn't expect to meet the first CS character from the original work, Kaigaku, here.
According to the timeline, it will be about four more years before he is taken back to Momoyama by Jigoro.
But now, he is the sole survivor of the demon attack.
The truth is clear.
It seems that after harming the children on Beiming Island and in the temple, he did many more beastly things during this period of absence.
Kaigaku sensed Ryosuke's icy aura and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Akira Moriyama also noticed Ryosuke's unusual demeanor and gave him a puzzled look.
What's wrong with this guy? He was fine just a moment ago, and now the air pressure is so low.
And Obanai, why are you wearing such a cold face too?
Is it social anxiety?
I have to do it.
Akira Moriyama stepped forward and gave him a friendly smile.
"Hello, we are from the Demon Slayer Corps. We heard that your family has suffered a misfortune and wanted to know what happened. Perhaps we can help."
Kaigaku sized up the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped aside.
"come in."
The room was dimly lit, simply furnished, and still smelled of incense and candles.
Kaigaku lowered his head and began to speak in a hoarse voice.
“A year ago, I was homeless and was kindly taken in by Mr. Matsuda. His family are all good people. Although life was hard, we had food to eat, a place to sleep, and younger siblings…”
Ryosuke interrupted him, asking a teasing question.
So, you're an orphan?
Kaigaku raised his head, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and nodded.
Akira Moriyama gave Ryosuke an even stranger look.
He didn't understand why Ryosuke was speaking so aggressively, and why his tone seemed to be deliberately trying to disgust Kaigaku.
Kaigaku pretended not to care and continued.
"Everything was fine until that night, when that monster suddenly rushed in, and everyone..."
His voice choked, and his body trembled, as if he were trapped in a terrifying memory.
"I was the only one who survived by hiding in the closet..."
I'll ignore everyone who's supposed to play along with your act.
Ryosuke felt nothing; he even wanted to laugh.
"Did you get a clear look at what that ghost looked like?"
Kaigaku tried hard to recall, a suitable fear appearing on his face.
"I got a better look at it. It was very fast, a middle-aged man with a beard, and sharp claws, especially its eyes..."
Kaigaku paused for a moment, seemingly still shaken.
"It seems there are words etched in its left eye: 'Xia Lu'!"
Akira Moriyama and Obanai both looked at Ryosuke.
It is indeed a Lower Moon demon.
But Ryosuke was confused.
Pero, that pervert, was wearing a military uniform, and his physical characteristics were too obvious, clearly contradicting Kaigaku's description.
Previously, Giyuu and Sabito cut down Lower Moon Two, and after killing Zero, they killed Lower Moon Three, Bingye.
That means there's a serious vacancy for the Lower Moon Demon.
After his Dao Heart was shattered by Makijuro, Pero embarked on the path of becoming a dog.
This period of vacancy also happened to be the time for him to be promoted.
In that case, Pero is now either in the third or second rank.
So this new Lower Moon landmass...
As Ryosuke pondered, a vague memory flashed through his mind.
It's still the same Lower Moon layoff party from the original manga, hosted by the scumbag boss Muzan.
Besides the vocal brother Fu Nue, the timid sister Ling Yu Zi, and the parkour boy Bing Ye...
The last one is the blood-seeking expert, Rokuro.
After being killed by Pedro and Guhuoniao, he grew up to become Lower Moon Two, and is still in his developmental stage.
Having understood the identity of the new Lower Moon Sixth, Ryosuke saw no need to linger any longer.
"We understand the situation. Thank you for providing the information."
After speaking, he got up and left with Akira Moriyama and Obanai.
"Please wait!"
Kaigaku hurriedly called out to them, his face filled with sorrow and indignation.
"That monster killed Mr. Matsuda's family. They were all good people who took me in, and I want to help them! I want to avenge Mr. Matsuda and his younger siblings!"
Ryosuke almost burst out laughing when he heard the impassioned declaration of revenge.
Look at that, that's what an actor is!
This lack of substance is all part of the acting!
Director Zhang Yimou owes you a movie! The Oscars owe you an award!
Oioioioi……
