Tanjiro asked.

After hearing this, the two children just shivered with fear on their faces.

Guessing that the two of them might have been frightened, Tanjiro took out a small sparrow and comforted them.

"What happened? Is that house home to you two?"

The boy who was obviously his older brother took it and shook his head quickly.

"No...no...that's the monster's home!"

He started to tell with a scared look on his face.

"Our brother was captured by a monster. We were walking on the road at night. The monster came, but it ignored us both and only took away our brother!"

"A monster got into that house, right?"

Tanjiro asked.

"Did you follow me all the way here? It's amazing, you are so strong,"

"... Wuwuwu... We came here following my brother's blood. He seems to be injured..."

But at this moment, what did Shanyi suddenly hear?

"Brother, what is this sound? I feel so uncomfortable. It keeps ringing. Is it a drum?"

Xia Qing nodded.

"You heard it right, this is the sound of drums."

After answering like this, Xia Qing's figure immediately jumped out and caught the boy who was thrown out of the window on the upper floor of the house.

The boy was not dead, but he was dying.

"He is not our brother...my brother is wearing yellow-brown clothes..."

The brother and sister said immediately.

"I see, we actually arrested several people..."

Tanjiro frowned, then borrowed the box from behind and placed it in front of the brother and sister.

"This box is here just in case. It will protect you no matter what happens."

"?"

After finishing speaking, Tanjiro said to Zenitsu.

"How's it going? Zenitsu, do you want to go in together?"

Upon hearing this, Zenitsu immediately shook his head desperately and refused.

"No! I don't want to go even if I die!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Xia Qing, with a smirk on his lips, said to Zenitsu.

"If you're so scared, then Tanjiro and I can go together. How about you stay outside alone with the brother and sister?"

Zenitsu swallowed his saliva as he looked at the strange box Tanjiro had placed there before, and then decisively chose to go together.

After all, it was daytime outside the house, and under the sunshine, there was absolutely no "man-eater" that could harm them.

As the three of them were walking in the corridor, Tanjiro said apologetically.

"Um...actually, my ribs and feet were broken during the last battle, and they haven't healed yet, so..."

Hearing this, Xia Qing patted his chest and then said.

"Don't worry, just leave this kind of thing to Zenitsu."

"Huh??? Shouldn't it be up to you, senior brother, to kill these ghosts...??"

Xia Qing's sudden words made Shanyi stop breathing in fright.

"No, no, no! If I go, I will definitely die, I will die, I will die, I will die, I will die!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! I'm already dead!! 100% sure to die!!! "

Tanjiro looked at his funny look and couldn't help but wonder how this guy passed the "final selection".

Could it be possible that I fainted from shock and passed as soon as I woke up?

Putting aside these messy thoughts in his mind, Tanjiro immediately shouted to Zenitsu.

"Zhenyi, just be quiet. You'll be fine."

At this moment, outside the house, the brother and sister, who were hiding behind the box and shivering, suddenly heard something.

"Brother...the box...the box is moving..."

After hearing what his sister said, his brother swallowed.

"How could it be possible, sister, how could the box be-"

Crunchy...

There was such an unusual noise coming from the box.

"!!!"

"The box, the box really moved! It's so scary!"

They were already in a state of extreme fear, but now the box placed in front of them suddenly appeared in such a strange condition, which frightened the two of them and immediately fled towards the door of the house.

——————————————————————————

"Zhenyi, listen to me, you know..."

Just when he was about to say something encouraging to Zenitsu, Tanjiro suddenly saw two children rushing in from the door and immediately scolded them.

"No!! You can't come in!!"

"B-But big brother's box is making a creaking sound..."

Tanjiro, who then remembered that he had not explained to them, was a little broken and holding his head.

"Even so...you shouldn't leave it there, it's something more important than my life...!"
