Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The mission was a big success, but the mission was a big success.

"New mission! New mission! There seems to be a ghost in the Takigawa area. Please go there immediately and join the local team members who are carrying out the mission."

Early in the morning, Shimi was woken up by the crow.

Another mission, as if there is an endless mission to kill ghosts.

But Shimi didn't find it boring. Boring is meaningless, and killing ghosts is obviously meaningful.

At least for Shimi, every time he kills a ghost, it seems to be a little closer to revenge.

"Takigawa area? What is that place?" Shimi had never heard of this place, so he asked the crow.

"A village in the north of Tokyo Prefecture. Because it is far away from Tokyo Prefecture, the government has not formed effective governance." The crow said.

Shimizu grinned: "Really? It seems that it is indeed a good place for evil spirits to hide, but their carefree days will end here."

He looked at his crows: "Let's go, Kenpachi."

"Oh!" Kenpachi responded and flew to Shimizu's head and sat down.

Speaking of which, the name Kenpachi was given by Shinya out of a bad taste.

But Shimizu also thought the name was very cool, so he accepted it.

If it weren't for the strong opposition of Kanae and Shinobu Kocho, Shinya was going to name their crows Byakuya and Rukia.

Because those two crows are really a pair of siblings.

Shimizu didn't delay at all and rushed to the Takigawa area as quickly as possible and found the local Fuji House.

The so-called Fuji House was founded by a powerful family that was saved by the Demon Slayer Corps to repay their gratitude.

The purpose of its establishment is to provide free food and accommodation services to the Demon Slayer Corps members who are carrying out missions in various places.

And although it is free, the treatment is not bad at all, it is definitely VIP level.

This is what the head of the family who was rescued said, a little insignificant reward for the Demon Slayer Corps.

Therefore, the people of Fujiya are also respected by the Demon Slayer Corps.

"D-level team member, Fuzugawa Shima, please give me your guidance." After seeing the reunited team members, Shima introduced himself.

"Ah? Class D, so impressive!" A boy with a middle-parted hairstyle said with admiration: "We look about the same age. I'm Class Sin."

Shimi said: "Ah...you're too kind. I participated in the final selection half a year ago."

The boy with the middle-parted hairstyle was even more disappointed: "I was one year earlier than you!"

Shimi was stunned: "One year earlier than me? Did someone kill all the ghosts in Fujixi Mountain that year?"

The boy with the middle-parted hairstyle shed tears: "Yes! Otherwise, it's still unknown whether I can pass."

"He is in the same class as Santo!" Shimi was full of black lines, and he complained in his heart: "This guy is really messing around. He killed all the ghosts by himself and caused everyone to pass, but his quality can't be guaranteed at all. Can this guy really kill ghosts? Santo, the decline in the combat effectiveness of the Demon Slayer Corps is all his fault."

"A-choo!"

At this time, Santo, who was on a mission in Hokkaido, sneezed.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Murata. Although I am a senior, you are your superior after all. I will listen to you here." The middle-parted boy Murata smiled awkwardly.

Shiya looked at Murata for a long time before asking, "Are we the only two on this mission?"

Murata said, "No, there is another one. The crow said he is a senior from the previous session, but I don't know why he hasn't come yet."

Shiya said, "Then forget about him. Where does the ghost appear?"

Murata said, "In the woods north of the village."

"Really?" Shiya looked at the sky. The sun had not completely set yet: "While it's still early, let's go into the woods and take a look."

"Eh? Now?" Murata was stunned.

Shiya nodded, "Yes, now."

"But..."

"No buts, let's go."

Shiya saw Murata was so hesitant, and didn't give him a chance to refuse. He grabbed his collar and dragged him away.

Murata wanted to cry but had no tears. There were only two of them. If they were separated, what would he do if he met a ghost?

He knew his own strength. He was OK against cannon fodder ghosts, but if he was a little stronger, he could only wait for death.

"There are beasts attacking people in the forest. No one is allowed to enter."

Seeing this warning sign, and thinking about the continuous disappearance of woodcutters during this period, it must be a ghost.

Beasts do not attack people every day. Generally, a single hunt can make the beasts silent for a long time.

Ghosts are different, especially powerful ghosts who can use blood ghost magic.

In order to seek stronger strength, they have to eat people every now and then.

"Are you the team members who came to support this time? So slow!" A voice came from the tree. Shimi and Murata looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a strange mushroom head sitting on a branch with a small white snake hanging around his neck.

Shimi saw that the other party started to mock as soon as they met, and naturally did not want to be outdone: "It should be someone who has no team spirit and separated from the majority and acted on his own."

"Large force?" The other party was stunned.

Shimi said: "Of course, we have two people, and you only have one person. Compared with you, we are of course a large force."

The other party immediately said: "Huh, I still have Kabukimaru."

Shimi: "Who is Kabukimaru?"

Little snake: "Hiss hiss..."

Shimi looked at the snake and was silent for a few seconds: "Oh... Is this... your emergency reserve food?"

"Hiss hiss!!!!"

Kabukimaru seemed to feel offended and madly stuck out his tongue at Shimi.

The team members on the tree also turned pale when they heard what Shimi said.

"Hey, my name is Fushigawa Shimi, and this guy who looks weak here is Murata, what about you?" Shimi shouted to the top.

Murata: "You look weak, you are so harsh!"

The other party jumped down from the tree and said, "Iguro Obanai."

Shimi smiled and said, "Really? This name is quite cute."

Iguro Obanai: "Believe it or not, I will beat you up! Don't think that you can disrespect me just because you can be promoted from Gui level to the same level as me in half a year. I am still your senior."

"Huh? I am praising you! Senior~~~! Senior~~~!" Shimi looked innocent and spread his hands.

This action made Obanai even more angry.

"Well! You two, we came here to survey the terrain, so don't forget the mission!" Murata saw that the atmosphere was becoming tense, so he spoke to ease the situation.

"Hmph!" Iguro Obanai snorted and turned away.

"Well... let's go in and take a look first." Murata said.

"I don't know what time it will be when you go in." Iguro Obanai said: "Before you came, I had almost explored the surrounding situation, including the interior of the forest."

Shimi looked puzzled: "Oh? How did you do it?"

Kaburamaru: "Hiss, hiss..."

Shimi looked at Kaburamaru with interest: "Well! I didn't expect this little snake to be quite useful. Let's not treat it as a reserve food for the time being."

Kaburamaru: "Hiss, hiss~!!!!"
