Chapter 21

Unexpectedly, the content playing on the screen today was neither previous forum content nor a live broadcast from some important figure.

【“Hello everyone!” A girl wearing a Demon Slayer Gakuen uniform stood in front of the woods and waved at everyone, “My name is Yuanyuan, and I’m a member of the Demon Slayer Gakuen Student Union Interview Department. Today I’m going to show you the daily filming routine at Demon Slayer Gakuen during the lunch break!”

"Because the holiday is coming to an end, this will be the last raid in the next few days! Okay! Let's go into your lunch break life and see what the teachers and students are doing during the lunch break!"】

Today's video doesn't seem to reveal much information, so everyone went about their own business. Although everything in that world was particularly attractive to them, the most important thing now was to do well in the present and eliminate Muzan Muzan.

Based on the principle that the more people the better, the harder it is to deal with Upper Six, Uzui Tengen dragged Tomioka Giyuu away. He also told Fuzugawa Shinobu and Kocho Shinobu to come over and hold a "Flower Street Operation" meeting.

"But I still don't understand." When Toioka Giyuu heard that he was going to go undercover in that haunted house, he was somewhat reluctant - in the words of Santu, how could a man wear women's clothes?

"Why doesn't Butterfly go? She's a girl, so it should be easier for her to get in."

"I need to research toxins." Kocho Shinobu said with a smile, "Ah, Mr. Tomioka, do you want to exchange tasks with me? Of course I can also go infiltrate, but is Tomioka Giyu sure that he can research the antidote for the Upper Six Poisons?"

Tomioka Giyu: “…”

Although he knew nothing about medicine, this did not stop him from continuing to ask: "What about Ganlu Temple? Why--"

Iguro Obanai who was walking on the other road quickly turned her head, glanced suspiciously at the smiling Uzui Tengen, the smiling Kocho Shinobu, Fuzuikawa Saneya who was covering Tomioka Giyu's mouth, and Tomioka Giyu who was looking puzzled, raised her eyebrows, and left.

The man with the snake muttered as he walked: "I seemed to have heard the name of Ganlu Temple just now?"

As they watched Iguro Obanai's back getting farther and farther away, the other three breathed a sigh of relief. Fuzugawa Shima let go of his hand and cursed, "You really should be more careful!"

"Think about it." Uzui Tengen pulled him over and said earnestly, "I'm too tall. If I pretend to be a woman, I will be found out at a glance, right? I can't go; the Butterfly Canro Temple requires women, but they can't go for different reasons. One is to study medicine and the other is because of Iguro; Fushigawa's face is full of scars. No matter how hard he tries to pretend to be a woman, he will be chased out by the proprietress inside; the owl hair inherited from his family in the Purgatory can't be faked. He was immediately recognized by the ghosts and died in the middle of the mission; Tokito Muichiro is still a child; Iguro is even worse. If you tell him that you are going to ambush in the flower street, they will immediately close the door and release the kabatsu; let alone Mr. Kuei-nagisaru - you say, in the end, aren't you the only one left?"

Tomioka Giyuu thought about it carefully, and it was true. In the end, he was the only one left. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision, thinking: Sorry, for the sake of killing demons, although I have decided to be a good man, but for the sake of killing demons...

…It’s not my fault that I wore women’s clothing.

"A-choo..."

Xuantu sniffed and sneezed. He looked around in confusion. Zhengu beside him looked concerned: "What's wrong? Do you have a cold?"

Xuantu: "Probably not... Can ghosts catch a cold?"

"Is it the wind blowing around?"

"...No, I just have a bad feeling."

[Yuanyuan walked towards the depths of the forest. Halfway through, she suddenly heard a scream from inside. Yuanyuan calmly signaled the photographer behind her to turn the camera toward that direction.

"What? I'm already annoyed when I think about seeing you when school starts in a few days! I didn't expect you to urge me to do my art homework now! Ha! I should have done my main course homework first with this time!"

“Isn’t art work gorgeous?” The man with the gem on his head held a round object in his hand. “Art is an explosion!”

“No, wait—put down the bomb in your hand! Ahhh, all my homework is here! [Tanjiro]—save me!”

Seeing what the man was holding, the smile on Yuanyuan's face froze. 】

After a while, everyone arrived at the Onbashira's house. Tengen Uzui's wives were all in the red-light district, so he could only search through the cups in his house and pour tea for them. On the other side, although it was the second time he saw another [Uzui], Tomioka Giyuu still felt very surprised. He looked at Uzui, then at [Uzui]: "They look exactly the same, but their personalities are completely different."

Fushigawa Shima: "We have similar personalities, alright."

"Art is explosion?" Uzui Tengen thought, "That's right. But I really want to know what I'm holding in my hand. The little girl looked weird when she saw it."

"Emmm, it looks like something that can explode?" Everyone's attention immediately turned to the gadget. Shinobu Kocho thought, "Maybe I can also make one of these little things, and then inject wisteria flower extract into it?"

【“Let me introduce him.” After running a long way in one breath, Yuanyuan started to explain until she could no longer hear the screams behind her. “[Uzui Tengen] is our school’s art teacher. He likes to bomb the school with bombs. He is the typical type who likes to make trouble when there is a lot of fun. He used all his remaining money to buy the school’s teaching building. He is the main target of observation by the head teacher [Misery Island Gyomei].”

"P.S. Everyone, please be careful when observing from a close distance to avoid being accidentally injured by the bomb. By the way, he and Senior Agatsuma Zenitsu are in a state of 'dislike for each other'."

"Okay, since there's a chance of getting hurt if we take this route, let's take a different route this time."】

Uzui Tengen: “…”

"That doesn't matter. Besides, it wasn't me who did it." He accepted the looks from many of his colleagues, "So you are this kind of Uzui Tengen," and changed the subject dryly, "We were originally talking about the Flower Street, right? Don't get off topic, everyone!"

"And don't talk about me yet. It's not just me. I guess everyone will come out later. Be careful or I'll make fun of you when you come out!"

The other three looked at each other, and finally sent Kocho Shinobu as the representative: "No, actually what we want to say is that it seems that your relationship with [Azuma Zenitsu] is not very good."

Uzui Tengen: “…”

[“Then we saw…Ah! It’s teacher [Kanae Kocho]! Hello, teacher!”]

Such a familiar name, for a moment, all four of them fell into a trance.

The four of them have been in the Demon Slayer Corps for quite a while, so naturally they are familiar with the former Hanashi. Especially Kocho Shinobu, who is even Kocho Kanae's biological sister.

Kocho Kanae, a very gentle girl, is as graceful as a butterfly. Tomioka Giyuu even mistook her for his sister countless times. He still remembers that he was in a low ebb because of the death of his sister and Santo. He didn't care about his body at all and didn't recognize himself as a water pillar. He was injured once and didn't take good care of himself. Later, Kocho Kanae found out. What did she say at that time?

Oh, if the wound is not treated properly, people who care about you will be worried if they see it.

Seeing her sister's familiar face after a long absence, her sister's words before she died, "I like Shinobu's smile the most," are still ringing in her ears. Shinobu Kocho blinked hard to hold back her tears.

I will definitely kill the ghost that killed my sister! She swore secretly to the ghost with blood on its head and a fan in its hand.

[“Teacher Kanae! Why are you here alone? Are you here alone? Do you need to walk around with us?” Yuanyuan was a little curious.

"Ah, hello, I'm here to bring some food to [Shinobu]. The weather has been quite hot recently, so I made some mung bean soup for [Shinobu]. Do you guys need some too?"

Yuanyuan was not very thirsty yet, so she thanked [Kanae Kocho]. She asked enthusiastically, "Do you need me to call the school doctor for you?"

“No, no, no.” [Kanae] waved her hand with a smile, “I just saw [Shinobu], she was arguing with Douma.”

Yuanyuan gasped. 】

"Mung bean soup..." Shinobu Kocho muttered to herself. My sister is a great cook. In the summer, when she was not busy with tasks, she would always cook a big pot of mung bean soup and share it with the children in the Butterfly House, Yin, and the injured members.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Who would wish for ghosts? If there were no ghosts in this world, could she and her sister be like ordinary people, doing ordinary things instead of fighting to kill ghosts?

[Yuanyuan said goodbye to [Kanae Kocho] and continued to walk deeper. Soon, there was a loud crackling sound, accompanied by a filthy voice and the roar of [Shinobu Kocho].

“Douma! Stop right there!”

"Hey, I'm really not kidding! Your sister is really pretty! You're complimenting your sister!"

Yuanyuan dodged suddenly with an animal-like instinct, and then she saw a boy suddenly sneak past her. [Shinobu Kocho] chased after him with a chair in her hand, furious.

Yuanyuan felt as if two gusts of wind were blowing past her ears, causing pain on her face. Looking at the "moving" chair, she asked the photographer next to her with a trembling voice: "...Where did this chair come from?"

The photographer was silent for a moment: "I'm not sure, it should be from the director's team."】

"That is..."

Shinobu Kocho suddenly stood up. That appearance, that appearance... She will never forget it in her life!

Tomioka Giyuu next to her was a little hesitant, but he still poured a cup of tea for Shinobu Kocho and pushed it over along with a tissue to express his comfort.

"So his name is Douma, right?" Fuzugawa Mitsuya had heard that Kocho Kanae was killed by a demon with blood on her head. After seeing Kocho Shinobu's performance, he was still confused. He tapped the table in annoyance, "I feel like I've seen this name before."

"The one who can kill the Hashira." Uzui Tengen said, "It's most likely an upper rank. I don't know what rank this Douma is."

【Yuanyuan finally came to her senses. She introduced to the screen: "The three people we met were [Kanae Kocho], [Douma], and [Shinobu Kocho]."

"Among them, [Douma] is a teacher at the neighboring Kizuki Academy [1], and the other two [Kanae Kocho] and [Shinobu Kocho] are the biology teacher and the school doctor at our Demon Slayer Academy, respectively."

"Among them, [Shinobu Kocho] is the school doctor in the infirmary. She is a sister complex and has a special problem with Douma from Kizuki Academy. Ah, it seems like that just now. It's like this every time we meet. It's become the norm."

"[Kanae Kocho] is our school's biology teacher. She is kind and gentle, and very easy to get along with!" Yuanyuan held up a finger, "She is one of my favorite teachers!"

"As for [Douma], I'm not very familiar with him. But in our school, he is well-known for flirting with women."】

"He's still the school doctor in another place, Butterfly." Tomioka Giyuu tried hard to adjust the atmosphere, thought for a moment, and added, "Don't worry, he will definitely be killed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people immediately looked at him. Fuzugawa Saneya had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost, and Uzui Tengen also looked at him with a look that said, "Are you sure it's Tomiokana?" Shinobu Kocho pursed her lips, and finally asked Tomiokana Giyu with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Tomiokana, do you think I will always be trapped in sadness? Although I still miss my sister very much, I am not the kind of person who always immerses myself in the past. That Douma, I would definitely kill him even without you telling me, Mr. Tomiokana."

【“Let’s keep going.” Yuanyuan continued walking forward. When she was walking along the stone path, she suddenly heard someone talking next to her:

"[Muichiro]! Here! I didn't eat properly because I woke up late this morning! Is it okay if I don't eat properly at noon?"

The camera starts to move, and two identical long-haired men appear on the screen. 】

"Brother...brother?" Tokito Muichiro stood there in a daze. He had never thought that one day he would be able to see his grown-up brother.

...even though it's not under my nose.

On the other hand, the four-member team seemed particularly puzzled. They didn't even discuss the mission of the Flower Street, and decided to finish watching everything first, and then talk about other things.

"Is this Tokito?" Uzui Tengen rubbed his eyes. "Why are there two Tokito? Am I hallucinating?"

Shinobu Kocho: "They should be twins."

But they have never met another person in the Demon Slayer Corps, and when combined with Muichiro's amnesia, the answer is self-evident.

[Yuanyuan introduced to everyone: "These are two seniors from the 2nd year of the junior high school, belonging to the shogi club. They are extremely popular among the girls, and their motor nerves are very good, but they are completely unaware of this. And who knows, they are also very smart! Senior [Ichiro] can handle everything, but once he is scared, his brain will short-circuit and get stuck. So if there is an emergency, it is [Muichiro] who reacts calmly who can handle it."]

Tokito Muichiro: Is that so? Going to school with my brother sounds good...

He fantasized, but then quickly realized that this was no longer possible. He held the Sun Blade tightly.

[“The ones chatting next to them are teacher [Iguro Obana] and teacher [Kanroji Mitsuri].” Without disturbing the two Tokito brothers, Yuanyuan turned to the woods on the other side and pointed at the little couple with pink bubbles coming out of them.

"The one with the snake on his body is Mr. Iguro Obana. He is a chemistry teacher who likes to research all kinds of random things. He has been working on a super glue bazooka recently. He is a recognized dark person on the campus network. By the way, the snake wrapped around his neck is called Kabutomaru."

"In stark contrast to Mr. Iguro is his girlfriend, Ms. Kanroji Mitsuri. To be honest, we have always found it incredible - how did Mr. Iguro find a girlfriend like Mr. Kanroji, who is as cheerful as a little sun? We really don't understand it, and this problem is also one of the ten century-old problems in our school."

"Teacher [Ganlu Temple] is a new teacher who came to our school this year. He is a freshman and teaches the art course."】

Iguro Obane: “…”

Although the dark comments above attracted his attention for a moment, he soon came to his senses and realized a huge problem - is he and Mitsuri Kanroji together?

This! Iguro Obanai's pupils trembled: Is this really possible? Me and Ganlu Temple?

Uzui Tengen curled his lips. He had naturally noticed that the two colleagues were secretly in love with each other. To be honest, only a fool like Tomioka Giyuu could not see the ambiguous atmosphere surrounding them.

...Oh, maybe we should also add Tokito Muichiro?

"The two of them over there have achieved their goal, but I don't know when the two over here will be able to be together again." Uzui Tengen complained.

And Toioka Giyuu finally realized that something was not right between these two people, Kanroji Mitsuri and Iguro Obanai. He asked incredulously, "Are they...really together?"

Uzui Tengen corrected: "Yes, they are going to be together soon, but soon. We are not together yet."

Fuzugawa Miyabi felt incredible: "No way, the last time that screen came out, there was a chapter specifically talking about CP, so what were you watching?"

Tomioka Giyuu felt a little aggrieved: "I thought it was a joke. Then they said that I was with Santu and you, and I was with you. I couldn't believe it even more."

Fuzugawa Mitsuya: “…”

[“We should not disturb the young couple.” Yuanyuan winked at the photographer. “If I disturb Mr. [Ihei], I can’t imagine how miserable I will be when school starts.”

"Hey, I think I heard someone rehearsing their lines over there! Let's go check it out!"

Following the sound, everyone saw [Tanjiro Kamado] reading the lines aloud and [Inosuke Hinahira] shouting the lines.

Yuanyuan sighed: "As expected of Senior Kamado Tanjiro, who is serious about everything he does."】

Tomioka Giyuu looked at [Tanjiro Kamado] and [Inosuke Hashibira], and for some reason, he felt a sense of relief: They really work hard.

[“Senior [Tanjiro]!” Yuanyuan greeted him, “Are you reciting your lines?”

"Ah." Seeing someone around, [Tanjiro Kamado] closed the document in his hand and smiled at Yuanyuan, "I had memorized it yesterday, but I had to shoot a lot of scenes this afternoon, so I need to consolidate my memory."

"Ahaha, you're really working hard." Yuanyuan's temples throbbed, and she tried her best to ignore the voice of [Inosuke Hashibira] behind her, "I read louder than you, I win." "I'm from the interview department of the Demon Slayer Academy Student Council. Is there anything you want to say to the students of Demon Slayer Academy?"

[Tanjiro] smiled and joked, "If you really want to say it, does catching up on summer homework count?"

[Inosuke Hashibira] also jumped up and said, "I, the King, have something to say too! I say that everyone should stop worrying about summer homework! Have fun! You won't be able to play when school starts!"

Yuanyuan laughed twice and joked, "Senior, if teacher Beimingyu knew about this joke of yours, it would be a disaster."

At this point, Yuanyuan explained to everyone: "Teacher [Beimingyu] is the homeroom teacher of these three seniors."】

Uzui Tengen said in amazement: "I didn't expect that Mr. Beimingyu Xingmei was actually the homeroom teacher of those little kids there. This task, wow, must be very difficult."

At the same time, Murata was also thinking in the same direction as Uzui Tengen. Murata couldn't stand [Tanjiro Kamado] anymore - after all, it was he who disturbed his former obscure time. He pouted and said, "These three juniors are not easy to deal with."

【After saying goodbye to the two seniors, Yuanyuan continued walking forward. 】
