Zhengyi replied.

"Um……"

The confusion has not been eliminated, but Zhengyi stopped thinking.

————————————————————————————

At this moment, on the other side, Tanjiro was alone after being separated from everyone.

Finally, Zhengyi's brother was found in a room, his name was Brother Qing.

"You...you are..."

"My name is Kamado Tanjiro, and I'm here to defeat evil spirits!"

Tanjiro replied, then reached out and patted Kiyo-nii on the shoulder.

"Here, let me take a look at the wound. You worked really hard on your own."

"Woooooooo..."

The boy started to cry.

Seeing this, Tanjiro took out a box of plasters from his pocket.

"This must be very powerful! My master gave it to me!!"

With that said, Tanjiro stretched out his hand to apply medicine to the boy.

"My master wears the mask of a tengu."

"Tengu? Really?"

"It's true."

After bandaging it with cloth, Tanjiro nodded.

"Okay, it's done, doesn't it hurt anymore?"

"Um……"

After the boy smiled, Tanjiro took the opportunity to ask him.

"Can you explain what happened here?"

"...I was captured by a monster...and...wanted to eat me. Then other monsters rushed out from nowhere, and they started killing each other, as if they were trying to decide...who could eat me..."

The boy, Brother Qing, had a scared expression on his face.

"So...then...the monster that grew a drum from its body...after that monster was killed by other monsters, the drum fell down, and the room would change when it was knocked..."

Tanjiro put his chin on his head and spoke.

""Thin blood"...did that ghost say this...?"

"S-Said! He called me "Thin-Blooded"!"

At this moment, a black crow flew in.

"Gah——ah!! "Thin blood" is a person with rare blood!!"

"Wow... the c-crow has spoken!?"

The crow cried towards Brother Qing.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooww... yeah, kid! I'm gonna keep talking!!"

Tanjiro quickly picked it up.

"What does rare blood mean?"

"There is a type system in the blood of living creatures, you idiot. Even among thin blood, there are people who have more precious blood. For ghosts, one person with "thin blood" is equivalent to having fifty people!! One hundred people! !! Once you eat it, you can get nutrients equivalent to the rarity of "thin blood"!! Thin blood is the ghost's thing! It's the ghost's favorite!!"

Brother Qing was so frightened that he started to tremble after hearing this.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the corridor, and Tanjiro's nose twitched, smelling the scent of a ghost.

But instead of showing it, he turned to the boy and said.

"I'm getting out of this room."

"Eh!?"

"Calm down, it's okay, because I'm here to defeat the ghost. Listen up, Brother Qing. After I leave this room, you immediately beat the drum and move, just like you have done so far. If anyone If someone comes to open the door or makes a noise, beat the drum and run away without delay!"

"I will definitely follow your scent back to you, and I will call your name when I open the door. Please keep it up for a while...is that okay?"

The boy gritted his teeth and nodded towards Tanjiro.

"Um!"

"Amazing! So strong!"

He pointed his fingers and praised with a smile.

"I'm leaving."

Just at this moment, a ghost figure appeared at the door of the room.

Tanjiro kicked the ground hard and rushed out like an arrow. At the same time, he shouted to Brother Qing behind him.

"Bang the drum!!"

boom----!

The clear sound of drumming sounded, and after Tanjiro rushed out, the layout of the room changed instantly, and the figure of the boy who was still there just now also disappeared at this moment.

"You rats...are so irritating...!!"

He serves as "Xiankai", the ghost of the drum in the original [The Sixth String].

He is the owner of the Ghost House. He was removed from the Twelve Ghost Moons due to his weakened abilities. In order to regain his strength, he attacks humans with "thin blood". But his plans are thwarted when other ghosts break into his mansion.

Now, another demon slayer swordsman appeared, completely messing up his original plan.

boom----!

Hibiki patted the drum growing on his abdomen, and with a clear sound, the room where Tanjiro was standing suddenly turned upside down.
