Water column and upper string

At night, the street was lit with lanterns. This street was particularly busy, and there were endless pedestrians on the street even at night.

"Haha, thank you, boss." The white-haired man raised his hand and said in a cheerful voice.

As he turned around, the gems and accessories on his body rustled, and the gems were particularly dazzling under the refraction of the firelight.

A very gorgeous person.

Ichiro narrowed his eyes and deliberately distanced himself from Uzui Tengen.

He didn't quite remember what happened last time, he just remembered that he was already in this area when he woke up.

The white-haired man working with him was named Uzui Tengen, who wore a silver kimono with an open chest and a dark haori on the outside. But what was more exaggerated was that his hair was tied up high and he wore a huge gemstone headband.

His body was also decorated with many gems, which were obviously worth a lot. But this strange outfit was somewhat harmonious because of the man's good looks and figure.

There is no doubt that Uzui Tengen is a ghost. But he is very familiar with this area, especially this street. Many merchants will greet him when they see him, and tease him about why his three wives are not with him.

Yes, the arrogant and glamour-seeking ghost has three wives.

Although Yuichiro asked him to follow Uzui Tengen to help, Ichiro didn't have to do anything. He just needed to follow Tengen and occasionally do some small things within his ability.

Although Tengen Uzui is a senior who became a demon first, he is a generous person except for his arrogance and strange hobbies.

So as they walked, the two of them naturally separated. However, there was a mouse wearing a gemstone jacket, following them in the dark.

The streets on both sides were very busy, and the bright lanterns were a bit dazzling. I could smell the aroma of various foods, but I couldn't get any appetite.

The boy walked slowly, looking around. He had long black hair with the ends fading into mint green, and his eyes were a very similar light blue.

The upper body is a black kimono, the lower body is a hakama with floating dark patterns, the long boots are tied tightly with belts, and a light-colored cloud-patterned haori is worn on the outside.

It is the Taisho era, a time when everything is developing rapidly. On the streets you can see traditional Japanese clothing as well as new and improved clothing.

The hawking sounds continued in the streets. After walking around for a while, Youlang felt bored and was about to return when he saw a small stall in the corner of the street.

It was a small stall selling udon noodles, with white mist coming out at this moment. The flag with red patterns on it looked familiar.

Ichiro remembered that in his dream, or in a prophecy not long ago, he and the protagonist of this world met on this street.

As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, after discovering the Demon Queen Girl, he wanted to chase her, but because there were too many pedestrians on the street, he lost his target.

The girl named Kamado Nezuko joined the Demon Slayer Corps and brought her brother who turned into a demon with her. This special combination was not the first time to be exposed to the demons.

It seemed that it was Rengoku Kyojuro who first met the Kamado brothers and sisters. After realizing Tanjiro's specialness, he took special action to save them from the murderous evil spirits.

It was after he awakened his ability to foresee that Yaoya realized that the Kamado brothers and sisters would be the hope he had been holding on to for hundreds of years.

Few ghosts knew about this matter, and Yaoya also specifically told him not to pay too much attention to the brother and sister. After all, there was uncertainty in the foreseeable future, and if the outcome was changed due to premature contact, it would be a loss.

"Young man, would you like a bowl of udon noodles?" The boss smiled and looked very enthusiastic.

The boy stared for too long, and the boss, who had just finished his work, noticed him and asked him in a friendly manner.

Yuichiro shook his head and walked towards the other side of the intersection: "No need."

The stall owner understood, but when the boy walked from the darker area to under the lantern, he was frightened by the boy's pale face.

After going around the alley, Ichiro came to the main street with more people. He did not actively look for her, but soon he met those pink eyes that looked like an enemy.

The girl was wearing a black team uniform and a pink rhombus-patterned haori. She was carrying a large wooden box on her back and reaching for the Sun Blade hidden behind her with one trembling hand.

She was very nervous, so nervous that she couldn't help shaking even when she clenched her teeth. Yuichiro blinked his eyes, thinking that it was probably the numbers in his eyes that made the girl feel very stressed.

It was all right now, and the next step was to successfully leave under the cover of the crowd. There was no need for them to clash, but the disgust and hatred in those pink eyes were very real.

Ichiro took a half step back, but then he heard the voice of "Don't run!" The girl chased him without hesitation through the crowd. Then there was another even sharper shout.

"Nezuko!" The young man with dazzling golden hair covered his cheeks and screamed in shock, "Wait for me!"

Ichiro admired the two men's determination to destroy the evil spirits and stop them from committing evil deeds, regardless of their own safety. However, this did not stop him from mocking the stupidity of the three men in his heart when he was being chased.

No matter what, even if they really catch up, they will be powerless against the upper-rank demons.

A fast-running mouse popped its head out, as if asking if he wanted to seek help, but Yuichiro could only calmly turn his head away and say, "Go back."

The mouse hid in the darkness again, and in a moment of distraction, the man wearing a pig-head mask who joined in cleverly took a long detour and then swooped down from the roof.

"Pig rush!"

The upper body of the naked pighead brandished a saw-toothed blade. He had the instinct and agility of a wild animal, but his consistent movements were easily avoided by the target.

Looking at the pig head rushing towards him, Yuichiro used his strength to kick the pig head from behind. The pig head lost its balance and crashed into a box on the street.

There aren't as many people coming and going here as before, but there are still people passing by on the road.

The boxes fell one after another with a loud noise, attracting the attention of passers-by. Everyone looked to the side and saw the boy in the cloud-patterned feather webbing falling lightly.

Ichiro looked back again, and saw Nezuko and the other person following him at the corner. Unable to hit him with one blow, Pig-Head rushed over again with all his might.

This kind of persistence puzzled the ghost. Why did they follow him when they had no chance of winning? Ichiro observed that those people were obviously afraid, but they still forced themselves to hold the handle of the knife tightly.

The movement here attracted the attention of passers-by, especially when they saw a pig-head rushing out with a knife, they were so scared that they screamed and quickly dodged.

The three of them cooperated well, but none of them touched the ghost's clothes.

The upper demon didn't have a strong desire to fight, and his face was expressionless when he fought with them. He didn't have very advanced physical skills when dodging, and it seemed that he was not good at fighting.

But thanks to their quick reflexes and physical strength, they were temporarily helpless.

Agatsuma Zenitsu was extremely anxious and he was about to back out, but when he saw Nezuko's fearless look, he swallowed his words back silently.

Just when they were anxious but helpless, they finally saw their savior, and they all showed a relieved expression.

The man had short black hair and his sleeves were tied tightly, revealing his muscular body. He was wearing a pink haori with snowflake patterns on the outside, and he quickly rushed forward while crouching and gathering strength.

The punch came swiftly, and the force with which it broke through the wind showed that the person was definitely very powerful, probably a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Mr. Komaji!" Nezuko shouted, "That's an upper rank, please be careful!"

"Upper rank?" Komaji missed the target with his first strike, so he observed carefully, "That's really rare, Upper rank, let me see your strength!"

Komaji, the Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, is a powerful samurai who is better at fighting with bare hands than using the Nichirin Sword.

He is very strong, but he is also obsessed with fighting strong people. There is even a rumor in the Demon Slayer Corps that Komaji fought a powerful demon for a whole night and was seriously injured in the end but was able to return unscathed.

From what he said, it seems that the ghost with golden hair is also a strong man, and they recognize each other.

But this does not prevent Komaji, the Water Pillar, from choosing to fight the demon with his bare hands, regardless of his own safety, which makes Nezuko and the others very worried.

There were indeed lines engraved in those light blue eyes. Komaji narrowed his eyes and observed: "Upper Rank Four? This is a demon I have never seen before."

In the Demon Slayer Corps, there is a brief record of the Twelve Demon Months. It is said that the Twelve Demon Months are not fixed and often change.

As for the seemingly harmless "boy" in front of him, although it is unknown whether he deliberately became this weak or turned into a demon at this age, in any case, he can inherit the upper string and is definitely not an ordinary existence.

Komaji was getting more and more excited, even though he didn't feel the demon's desire to fight. "Upper 4? What's your blood demon art? You must be pretty strong to be able to inherit the upper rank."

"No one would reveal their weaknesses on their own initiative." Yuichiro said in disdain, "What do you think? You think your enemy will reveal his trump card to you."

Komaji clasped his fists and began to think. After a moment of deep thought, he suddenly smiled and said, "Really? It seems that Kyojuro is special. You must know Kyojuro. Has his ability improved?"

"The last time I saw him, he was still a Lower Moon One. Now, has he been promoted to an Upper Moon?"

The man with short black hair had a curious look on his face, but his implicit meaning was, "If a demon like you can be an upper-rank demon, the demon I recognize must also be an upper-rank demon."

Yuichiro gave him an idiotic look and said, "The Twelve Demon Moons are a succession system, not a ranking based on merit as you think."

After the explanation, he felt that he had become an idiot and there was no need for him to answer such questions.

While they were talking, several other people also blocked their retreat.

Komaji smiled, tilted his head and asked, "Really? One last question before we start - how many people did you eat?"

This question was not answered. The ghost, with an impatient look on his face, swung his hands and rushed quickly in one direction.

The original nails suddenly extended and became harder and sharper. With one hand open, the hard nails firmly caught the blade.

Agatsuma Zenitsu was attacked as a weak point, and he screamed and waved his sword: "Nezuko-chan! Help, help me!"

The upper demon's attack was haphazard and he didn't seem to be very skilled, as if he wasn't very good at fighting. Komaji was not in a hurry to attack. He watched and shouted casually, "Hold on a little longer, Zenitsu—"

Finally, after observing everything, when Zenitsu was shaking and screaming due to the pressure, Water Pillar Komaji made a quick move.

There was a "gap" in the original encirclement, and Ichiro seized the opportunity to leave a few people behind. But the sound of the air breaking through the air quickly approaching made him aware of the danger, and when he glanced to the side, he saw the man rushing up with a grin and clenched fist.

As he raised his arms to block, his body was pushed back a few steps by the huge force. Not only was the speed extremely fast, but the force was also extremely strong.

Ichiro confirmed once again that the person in front of him was not a ghost, which could only mean that this person had trained his body to the extreme.

This might be the reason why he didn't use the Sun Blade to fight, but it also means that it would be difficult to escape from him.

Komaji didn't give the ghost in front of him time to think, and attacked him from all angles. The frowning ghost had no time to think about retreating, and could only deal with it passively.

He became more and more certain that the Twelve Demon Moons were not ranked according to strength, but the unknown blood demon technique made Komaharu dare not act rashly.

But after a struggle, Komaji was surprised to find that this upper-rank demon's learning speed was a little too fast.

At first, he was dodging the attacks without any plan, relying solely on his own reaction and speed. But after a while, the ghost in front of him actually put his skills to use and used them to resist.

Komaji gradually became more and more excited and happy. He no longer held back and pulled out the Sun Blade from behind with a flick of his wrist.

"You're a quick learner, so is this your vampire arts?"

Yuichiro jumped back to create some distance, he shook his wrist with a normal expression.

The punches could not hurt him, at most he could just take the blows head on, and his skin would be bruised. But soon, due to the ghost's powerful self-healing ability, the marks would disappear.

Perhaps infected by the passionate words, Ichiro became more and more excited.
