Chapter 50 Demon Slaying (Four)

Three days later.

Kumagawa City, 'Ye House'.

"Wakuraba,-sama the goods you wanted have arrived."

The merchant smiled all over his face.

"All of this are your favorite types."

"Hmm."

Behind the curtain, Wakuraba responded faintly.

He waved his hand and threw out a bag of gold nuggets.

"I won't treat you badly for working for me."

The merchant hurriedly picked up the money bag, nodding and bowing, "Thank you, Wakuraba-sama! Thank you, Wakuraba-samaa!"

"Get out."

There's nothing good to talk about with this kind of trash.

Wakuraba waved his hand.

The merchant was very tactful and respectfully exited the room.

In a short while, two maids dressed in thin gauze came in with their heads down and said, "Sir, the new humans have been cleaned..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Wakuraba interrupted them.

"Keep them in the cellar for now."

Upon hearing this, the maids nodded in agreement.

Wakuraba-sama has a unique taste, preferring fat people.

Everyone in 'Ye House' knows this. At the same time, outside the city.

"Wow!"

Looking at the city in front of him, Tanjiro, who was from the countryside, couldn't help but exclaim.

He turned his head and excitedly shouted, "Zenitsu, Inosuke, come and see!"

"Ahahaha, pig rush, pig rush!"

Inosuke took big strides and wanted to enter the city without thinking.

Zenitsu, who had the most common sense, quickly stopped him.

"Wait! If you rush in like this, you'll be seen as a suspicious person by the guards!"

The golden-haired dog looked at the wild boar headgear that Piggy was wearing, and held his tongue.

Shinazugawa Genya came over from a distance, looking unhappy, "Stop shouting, you're embarrassing me!!"

Zenitsu pouted.

"Tsk, as expected of a young master from a big family, your experience is indeed different from us country folks."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was an old yin and yang master.

Shinazugawa Genya's eyelids twitched.

He conjured up a terrifying smile, "Do you want to die?"

Yo ho.

Trying to scare people, huh!

Zenitsu skillfully hid behind Tanjiro and Inosuke.

"Tanjiro, Inosuke, let's go together!"

Tanjiro looked embarrassed.

Inosuke was eager to try.

At this moment, the quiet and silent girl, Tsuyuri Kanao, gracefully arrived and whispered, "The master said, whoever dares to make trouble at the city gate tonight, will go without dinner."

No dinner?

That's too harsh!

Including Shinazugawa Genya, the four boys shivered and stood honestly at the city gate.

At first glance, they looked like four stone piers.

About five or six minutes later, Jon came over leisurely.

He glanced at the four of them.

He smiled, "You didn't fight, did you?"

"No!"

The four of them shook their heads quickly.

Taking advantage of his close relationship with Jon, Zenitsu chuckled, "We get along well."

"I believe you."

Jon casually flicked a bump on the little blondie's head.

"Let's go, into the city!"

With a full heart of doubt, Zenitsu followed Jon, walking towards the city gate with a bitter face.

There were guards on both sides of the city gate, and an entrance fee was required to enter and exit.

Jon didn't care about the small amount of money.

But, let our Inosuke take off his hood?

Sorry, no.

"Please be accommodating."

Meeting the gaze of the guard, Jon unobtrusively handed over a money bag.

The guard weighed it and warned, "Don't cause trouble!"

After saying that, he stepped aside and let Jon and the others into the city.

Inside the city.

The streets were bustling, and houses were everywhere.

As one of the main cities in the northwest of Honshu Island, the prosperity of Kumagawa City goes without saying.

Jon quickly made a plan.

"We'll first go to the guest house to settle down, and then split up to investigate Wakuraba's information."

The five little ones naturally had no objections.

Zenitsu turned his eyes and rubbed his hands together, approaching Tsuyuri Kanao, "That... Kanao, do you want to team up with me for the investigation later?"

Blondie (crossed out)

Golden Teddy (correct)

Kanao didn't expect Zenitsu to be so proactive.

She was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay."

Really just relying on others not to refuse and directly launching an offensive.

Jon chuckled.

Puppy, you're still too young.

"Zenitsu and I are a team, Genya and Inosuke are a team, Kanao and Tanjiro are a team, that's it."

Zenitsu: !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Shinazugawa Genya: (▼皿▼#)

...

...

Although there is a suspicion of beating the blondie, Jon's grouping is undoubtedly very reasonable.

After splitting up for more than an hour.

They had thoroughly investigated the situation of 'Wakuraba'.

"The owner of 'Ye House' is wealthy."

"I heard that he cooperates with many businesses."

"He often helps the poor, and his reputation is very good."

"He is knowledgeable and respected."

A philanthropic, wealthy...

Demon.

Hidden in plain sight.

This guy is really smart.

Jon scratched his eyebrows, recalling Wakuraba's performance in the original trajectory of fate.

Among the many Lower Rank moons, he was the only one who dared to run away in front of Kibutsuji Muzan.

"Mentor."

Suddenly, Tsuyuri Kanao tugged at Jon's sleeve.

Jon came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?"

"Tanjiro and I found out that this morning, the merchant sent a batch of goods to 'Ye House'." Tsuyuri Kanao blinked, "I think, those might be the kidnapped people."

Speaking of which, it's very likely.

Demons are bloodthirsty by nature and can't eat ordinary food.

Since Wakuraba disguised himself as a merchant and used the goods to cover up his crimes, it's most appropriate.

Jon's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Fame should come early.

Evil should also be eliminated early.

Wakuraba, huh.

Within a day, I'll scatter your ashes!

With that said, let's go.

Jon led Zenitsu and the others straight to 'Ye House'.

As soon as they entered the door.

He found something was wrong.

As a shop, this place was too dark.

Not to mention it was completely in the shade, they didn't even open the windows!

Hundreds of kerosene lamps emitted a faint light.

Under the light, a beautiful maid came forward and bowed, "Welcome to 'Ye House', what can I do for you?"

"We're from out of town, looking to buy some local specialties."

Jon casually made up a reason, and looked at Tanjiro without changing his expression.

Tanjiro shook his head.

This maid, she's not a demon.

But...

The little iron-headed radish sniffed carefully again.

His expression gradually became serious.

Jon understood what was going on.

He chuckled, "Speaking of which, I'm from the same hometown as your boss, Wakuraba."

"You know Wakuraba-sama?"

The maid was surprised.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, let him come out and meet me." Jon's eyes were calm, "By then, he'll know who I am."

"Uh... please wait a moment."

In this era, the relationship between fellow townspeople is still quite close. The maid didn't dare to neglect and gracefully returned to the back room.

After a short while, a short-haired young man wearing sunglasses and a kimono came out.

"Who is my fellow townsman?" Wakuraba smiled brightly.

"It's me."

Jon took a step forward, protecting his disciples without changing his expression.

"You?"

Wakuraba was a bit confused.

But, after scanning the clothes on Tanjiro and the others, he realized.

"You are the Demon Slayer Corps!"
