Just as Shinobu was jumping towards another tree branch, her clothes were pulled from behind, turning her head back to look, it was Nagasawa Aoyama!
She lost her balance and fell under the tree.
Takeshi put his arm around Shinobu Kocho's shoulder, his other hand grabbing a tree branch to stabilize the two of them, finally landing safely from above.
"You..."
Before Shinobu could finish speaking, Takeshi grabbed the sword in her hand, saying with a smile, "What's wrong with me, I didn't let you fall, I'll hold your sword for you first, in case you still want to slip away, and use it to attack me."
Swinging her arm, preparing to attack Aoyama's side, she was controlled by Takeshi with a grappling move under his arm, his hand also pinching her wrist, preventing her from attacking with her fist again.
"Aoyama-kun, do you think it's appropriate for you to treat a girl like this?"
Takeshi lowered his eyes to glance at her, saying, "It's better than tying you up with rope, right!"
Seeing that Aoyama had no intention of letting go, Shinobu Kocho had no choice but to change the subject, asking, "Why is Aoyama-kun protecting that girl who's become a demon? Can you tell me the reason?"
"Reason? No reason." Takeshi said simply.
Shinobu felt that the topic had been killed again, sighing lightly.
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet.
"Aoyama-kun, you're really violating the Corps rules like this, you know! My attack to slay the demon is justified, so it doesn't count as violating the Corps rules, but Aoyama-kun, you're really violating the Corps rules."
Facing down, unable to see Aoyama's face, Shinobu didn't know if he was listening to her.
"Aoyama-kun, are you listening to me?"
Takeshi didn't answer her words, because a scent carrying a strong stench of blood had entered his nose, and his ears had also heard the sound of slow footsteps approaching them.
Realizing that Aoyama-kun might be distracted by her, Shinobu seized the opportunity, a sharp knife popping out from the sole of her shoe, raising her leg, stabbing towards Aoyama-kun.
Takeshi frowned slightly, quickly tilting his head to the side, and then letting go of Shinobu Kocho, returning her sword to her hand.
"Goodbye, Aoyama-kun..."
Just as Shinobu thought that her attack had been effective, and that's why he had let her go to chase after Tanjiro, but when she turned her head back, she saw Aoyama standing in front of a clump of grass, his arm forcefully grabbing something.
"Since you dared to come, why hide!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Takeshi grabbed a demon out of the grass, the clothes he was wearing and his extremely white face, all of this confirmed that this demon was one of Rui's family members, she didn't know if he was Rui's 'older brother' or 'younger brother'.
With a shoulder throw, he threw the demon out.
Shinobu Kocho, who was preparing to leave, stopped, only then realizing that her assumption just now wasn't correct.
It wasn't that her attack had been successful, but that a demon had come, otherwise he wouldn't have returned the sword to her, this Aoyama-kun was really a bit interesting, at least he was more interesting than Mr. Tomioka.
"Hey! Aoyama-kun, do you need help?" She asked, but stood on the side, with no intention of going forward to help.
Takeshi glanced at Shinobu, this person, how should he describe her! There was an old saying that said, a woman's heart.....hmmm
He raised his hand, lightly patting his head, why couldn't he remember how that saying went?
Seeing the demon pounce towards him, Takeshi kicked him away with one kick, an displeased expression appearing on his face, he was almost able to think of it, but he had been interrupted by him.
The demon got up from the ground, his broken leg instantly returning to normal. Sensing that he probably couldn't win, he immediately knelt on the ground, crying and shouting, "Help me, help me, let me leave here..."
His head heavily knocking on the ground, one after another, until his head broke open, bleeding, staining the place where he banged his head.
Takeshi walked forward, squatting in front of the demon, saying, "Let you go? You're a demon, and I'm a demon slayer, give me a reason to let you go."
The demon's eyeballs rolled around in their sockets, thinking of a good idea, immediately answering, "I'm a demon, but I only became a demon not long ago, I ha-haven't eaten anyone yet..."
Hearing this answer, Takeshi instantly drew his sword, slashing upwards, a pool of blood spraying on the ground, the arm that had fallen on the ground turning to ashes little by little.
Takeshi's speed in drawing his sword was so fast that Shinobu Kocho was stunned for a moment.
"You lied! The scent you're emitting, the stench is very strong, you haven't not eaten anyone, but you've eaten quite a few people, haven't you?" He said these words with a smile on his face.
The demon's body on the ground trembled, this man was even more terrifying than Rui, the arm that had been cut off grew back again.
Takeshi asked again, "Come, next question, how many people have you eaten?"
"Ea-Eaten..." The demon began to hesitate, not daring to answer the question as easily as just now.
"It wasn't what I wanted, it was Rui, it was him, he made me become his family, forcing me to eat people, and even changed my original face..."
Speaking of the end, tears squeezed out from his eyes, hoping that the man in front of him would believe his words.
Takeshi slowly stood up. Demons, you can't condemn them all, there are good demons and bad demons, but this demon in front of him really deserved to die!
Raising the sword in his hand, swinging the sword down, cutting off his neck with one strike.
The head fell on the ground, rolling twice, a pair of large eyes staring at Takeshi. Starting from the neck, it turned to ashes little by little...
Ding! Host has slain a demon, the system rewards you with +20 to enhanced arm strength.
Takeshi put away the sword in his hand, raising his eyes to look at Shinobu Kocho, saying, "He was lying again."
