Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

The moment the demon appeared, Shinichi and Makijuro reacted almost instantly, and the two fastest sword forms of Forest Breathing and Flame Breathing were slashed out in an instant.

The speed was so fast that people could not see how the two people drew their swords.

Flame Breathing·One Form·Shiranui! The extremely fast slash like a burst of fire, with the bursting flames of the sword light, often cut off the demon's head before the demon reacted.

Forest Breathing·Three Form·Thorns! The blade stabbed straightly, and the stab full of vitality could bring the demon hell pain of thousands of thorns piercing its body.

The two people who launched the attack at the same time seemed to have a telepathic connection. The Sun Wheel Sword with rolling flames instantly cut off the head of the suddenly appearing snake girl demon, and the two-color Sun Wheel Sword with a green light continued to stab, cutting the snake girl demon's body into several pieces, and also saved the boy in the hands of the snake girl demon!

Shinichi pulled the boy from mid-air behind him.

The snake ghost's head was spinning in the air, and there was still a trace of shock and confusion in her scarlet eyes, until her head fell to the ground with a plop, and she saw her huge body was cut into several pieces.

It realized that it seemed to have been beheaded? And the boy that it had coveted for twelve years was protected behind it by a little ghost holding a green and red interwoven long sword!

No! How is it possible! What's going on! ? It shouldn't be like this! It hasn't enjoyed the boy's flesh and blood yet! It's unwilling!

However, no matter how unwilling the snake ghost was, it eventually turned into ashes, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Watching the snake ghost turn into ashes, Shinichi let down his guard, and then remembered the boy. Shinichi put away the Sun Wheel Sword and turned to look at the boy.

Makijuro also put away his scabbard, frowned and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that there was no other evil spirit, he also walked to Shinichi's side.

The boy who was rescued by the two also had a pair of heterochromatic eyes, but the boy seemed to be still immersed in fear. His heterochromatic eyes unconsciously widened, and his pupils were slightly dilated. He did not respond to Shinichi's questioning at all.

After asking for a long time, the boy did not respond. Shinichi just looked at Makijuro and said helplessly: "Mr. Rengoku, why don't you ask him? He is about the same age as Kyojuro, and you should have some experience in communicating with him."

Although Shinichi is not much older than the boy in front of him, Shinichi has no experience in communicating with people of the same age.

Makijuro looked at the boy full of fear and sighed helplessly. Then he stepped forward and comforted the boy with gentle words. Finally, under Makijuro's consolation and confirming that the terrible snake ghost had been killed, the boy gradually calmed down.

It was also at this time that Shinichi noticed that there was a live little white snake wrapped around the boy's neck?

"What's your name?"

"I, Iguro... Obanai..." The boy trembled and said his name.

Shinichi and Makijuro looked at each other, "Iguro Obanai? Is there anyone living on this island?"

Makijuro nodded, and said with a serious expression: "There is indeed an Iguro family on Hachijo Island, but this family is very mysterious and extremely averse to contact with the outside world. I have only heard of it.

Since this child is from the Iguro family, let's send him home quickly. However, I am a little worried that the evil ghost just now will break into this child's family..."

Shinichi looked at Iguro Obanai who was cowering behind Makijuro, and always felt that things were not that simple, but there seemed to be no other choice at the moment, so he agreed with Makijuro's opinion, and the two of them took Obanai to find the Iguro family.

Along the way, Obanai just silently pulled a corner of Makijuro's cloak, his eyes full of loneliness, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Half of his face was wrapped in bandages, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

Shinichi could clearly feel Obanai's depressed mood. Although he didn't know what happened, Shinichi hesitated for a while and took out a piece of Dorayaki from the silver mirror hanging on his waist.

Of course, this Dorayaki was just an ordinary Dorayaki, the kind that Shinichi bought at the market. After all, he had teamed up with other members of the Demon Slayer Team many times. Even if Shinichi didn't understand, he knew that not everyone had the same "noble" taste as him, so Shinichi also prepared a lot of Dorayaki with normal flavors and other sweets. Anyway, the space in the silver mirror was empty.

Handing the Dorayaki to Obanai, this action made Obanai stunned, looking at the Dorayaki in front of her, she was a little at a loss.

"Come on, you look like you haven't eaten properly for several days, right? Fill your stomach first, I'm a swordsman of the Demon Slayer TeamShinichi Mori, that yellow-haired uncle is the Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro of the Demon Slayer Corps! With us here, you don't have to worry about the evil spirits hurting you. "Shinichi stuffed the Dorayaki into Obanai's hand and patted his shoulder.

Obanai looked at the Dorayaki in his hand, a little dazed. He really hadn't eaten properly for several days. In fact, in that dark and airtight dungeon, although there were exquisite meals every day, the strong greasy smell made it impossible for him to eat properly.

In addition, facing the terrifying death threat of the snake girl ghost, how could Obanai have the heart to eat? However, Shinichi's words just now made Obanai feel a little more at ease, and his stomach also had some reactions, but he was still a little hesitant because he didn't want to show his face under the bandage.

In order to relax the atmosphere, Shinichi took the initiative to ask: "By the way, is this little white snake on your neck your pet? It's pretty cute."

"No, not... a pet, it's a partner, Kabushimaru. "Obanei finally spoke up and explained softly that the kabana on his neck was his only comfort in that dim dungeon, and he had long regarded it as a life-and-death companion.

"Oh! I understand, don't get me wrong, I also have a very good companion, you see, it's the fat Shiba Inu in the front, don't look at its fat head and big ears, it's actually very powerful and obedient. "Shinichi smiled and pointed at Yuanji who was chasing the smell in front.

In such a relaxed atmosphere, Obanei also began to speak slowly, and what happened on Hachijo Island was slowly outlined in front of Shinichi.

Gradually, a solemn expression appeared on Shinichi's face.

"I understand, Obanei, it's okay now, let us do the next thing, you eat something first, and come to me if it's not enough. "After comforting Obanei, Shinichi went straight to Makijuro.

"This Iguro family is really damned! "Shinichi said with a gloomy face.

Makijuro was a little surprised and asked Shinichi: "What? What happened?"
