Hearing this voice, Hori Gaku turned around with some surprise.
It was Shinobu Kocho. She walked out of the inn door, came over, looked at Hori Gaku who was surrounded by several hunters, and asked with a smile.
Perhaps because she was staying in the inn, although Shinobu was still wearing the Kocho haori, she was not wearing the Demon Slayer Corps uniform inside, but a casual dress.
Shinobu in the casual dress seemed more gentle than usual, which made Hori Gaku's heart flutter.
Hori Gaku said in surprise:
"Sister Shinobu? I didn't expect to meet you here."
Several hunters also looked at Kocho Shinobu.
However, because Kocho Shinobu was so beautiful and didn't pose any threat, the hunters didn't regard her as a dangerous person and continued to point their guns at Horitake.
Horitake couldn't help but ask:
"How come Sister Shinobu is here?"
Shinobu Kocho replied with a smile:
"This is where herbalists gather in the mountains. I often come here to buy herbal medicines. The supply of herbal medicines here is sufficient.
So, Horitake-san, what about you?
Why did you come here?"
Horitake spread his hands:
"I don't believe you haven't heard of the man-eating bear, that's why I'm here."
"But you seem to be treated as a weird person. What does it feel like to be pointed at by so many guns?"
"I have to admit, this is the first time I feel this way."
"Horitake-san, why are you being treated like this?"
When asked this question by Kocho Shinobu, Horitake immediately looked bitter and resentful:
"It's all the fault of that bastard Tomioka Giyuu! He's the one who got me into trouble! I was misunderstood because of him!"
"Huh?" Shinobu Kocho was really confused:"Why is it related to Mr. Tomioka?"
"The situation is complicated, I can't explain it clearly at the moment, please wait for me, sister Shinobu, I will solve my problem first!"
After saying that, Hori scratched his head, sorted out his thoughts, and explained to the hunters around him in great embarrassment:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am really not a strange person, let alone a murderer or criminal.
Although there is nothing to prove my identity, you should be able to tell from the way I dress.
I don't have any weapons on me, only a knife at my waist.
But you all pointed guns at me. If I were a murderer or a criminal, would I be stupid or crazy to come here? Being pointed at by you with guns?"
These words are still convincing.
Nowadays, the era of cold weapons has long passed. Compared with the knife at Hori Gaku's waist, the hunting rifles of these hunters are of course more deterrent.
Of course, the premise is that these hunters do not know Hori Gaku's strength.
If they knew Hori Gaku's strength, they would definitely not be at ease with the hunting rifles in their hands, nor would they be gradually convinced by Hori Gaku's words.
Seeing that these hunters were not so vigilant, Hori Gaku continued to explain:
"Like I said before, my job in Suzi is to kill demons.
And what happened to the charcoal-burning family over the mountain is none of our business.
My colleague was just passing by by chance, and he was not the one who killed the charcoal-burning family.
Not only was it not him who killed them, but my colleague also rescued the only remaining pair of children from the charcoal-burning family and settled them somewhere else.
What I said is true. I am quite familiar with that family, and I also know the only remaining pair of children from that family. The family over there that makes a living by burning charcoal is the Kamado family.
The two people who survived after being rescued by my colleague are the eldest son and daughter of the Kamado family, named Tanjiro Kamado, and Nezuko Kamado.
To be honest with you, Tanjiro Kamado and I have a good relationship. Tanjiro Kamado is my little brother, and Nezuko is also my future... future... future... future……"
Hori Gaku wanted to say the word"fiancée".
But he suddenly realized that Shinobu Kocho was right next to him!
So he couldn't say the word"fiancée" and could only keep saying it.
Shinobu Kocho seemed to have noticed something and asked Hori Gaku with a smile:
"That girl named Nezuko, is your future?"
"Not yet... not yet... not yet……"Hori Gaku thought for a long time and could only say:"My future godsister!"
"That's right! Tanjiro is my little brother, and his sister Nezuko is my future goddaughter!"
Shinobu Kocho looked at Horitake deeply, she didn't believe it:
"Is that really the case?"
Let's not talk about what Shinobu Kocho was thinking.
The hunters surrounding Horitake saw that Horitake had described the details, including the surname of the family and the names of the only remaining children.
These hunters gradually began to believe Horitake.
As the leading hunter put down his gun first, several hunters also put down their guns.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Oh my goodness, uncle!
Why would I lie to you? What good would it do for me to lie to you?
If I was really a colleague of the murderer, why would I come all the way here?
Was it to fall into a trap?"
"That's true.……"
The hunter uncle scratched his head and muttered to himself:
"Then...what you said before about killing ghosts, is that true too?"
"It's true, I'm from the Demon Slayer Corps, and my job is to kill demons.
Of course, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you won't believe it.
We don't expect ordinary people to believe it, so we usually act in secret and kill demons in secret.
I got the intelligence before, and I think this killer bear is most likely a man-eating demon, so I came all the way here to kill him."
At this point, Hori Gaku looked at Yae who had been hiding next to him:
""Sister, I feel like you seem to know something about this ghost, so I just stopped you and asked you for information.
So, can you tell me what you know?"
Now, everyone's eyes were focused on Yae again.
Yae was being watched by everyone, and suddenly became nervous:
"I... I don't know anything! Don't ask me, you weird guy!"
After saying that, Yae took his dog and turned to leave.
Of course, Horitake wanted to keep him:
""Yae sister! Yae sister!"
Kocho Shinobu also came over and rolled her eyes at Horitake:
"You are such a sociable guy, you just met me and you called me sister, could it be that you also like this hunter girl named Yae?"
Horitake couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Sister Shinobu is joking. I'm just trying to get close to her."
"Forget it, don't talk for now. As a girl, I am more convenient to communicate with girls. I will go and talk to him."
As she said that, Shinobu Kocho chased after Yae.
But to everyone's surprise, Yae, who was walking quickly, suddenly felt his legs go weak, and then he staggered and fainted on the ground!
