Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

"It's impossible. We are more than ten blocks away from him. He looks at us like sparrows. How can he see us?"

"But, but"

"Anla, he's just a young boy. How can he have such eyesight!"

Makiyu patted Suma's shoulder and said that this was impossible.

"clang!"

A bamboo knife was inserted very hard into the tiles 10 meters away from them.

Then they looked towards Emiya's position again.

At this time, Emiya had stopped where he was, standing in the middle of the street as if the people around him were nothing, looking at them with a bow and a shooting posture.

Chapter 23: Ghost Eater——Asakusa Koe (Part 1)

Whether it was a conditioned reflex or Emiya's own sensitive senses, the running Emiya suddenly turned his head to where Suma and the others were.

Just like many times when you look at someone, he suddenly turns back to look at you.

In fact, maybe he didn't feel any eyes staring at him at all, but for some reason he suddenly turned his head and looked at the person who had been looking at him.

This sudden turn also allowed Emiya to see three figures standing on the roof.

Although they are indeed a bit far apart, as an archer, his eyesight is also excellent, and he can easily see the appearance of the three people standing on the roof.

One of them was the woman who had collided with Emiya before.

It was just one night, but Emiya still had a vivid memory of this woman who made him soaked all over.

Why is she standing on the roof though.

Most people don't have the skills to climb to the roof.

What's more, with their steady posture, they must have met on the roof more than once.

In this complicated and noisy street, almost no ordinary person would notice the things on the roof. Even if they did notice, they would basically not hear what the people on the roof were communicating.

This is also a very simple but practical place to exchange information. After all, it is not an undercover agent sneaking into the enemy country. For ghosts who cannot see the daylight.

The wider the place, the more suitable it is for conversation.

"When did he take out the bow?"

Zhu Yu pulled out the bamboo knife that had been inserted into the bricks not far away, his eyes full of doubts.

When Emiya Shirou was running, there was no bow anywhere on his body.

But she also discovered that the bamboo knife carried a note.

"Please don't leave! I have something to ask you!"

This was the first time that Emiya projected a bow. He did not expect that apart from his sword, the magic power consumption of the projection bow was not high.

When he saw the three people standing on the roof of the house next to the circular pit, Emiya knew that they were probably the same people who specialized in dealing with ghosts as the young man he met before.

Otherwise, there are other forces. In short, Emiya feels that he should contact them no matter what. Anyway, under the sun, they cannot be ghosts.

He originally projected the arrow when projecting the bow, but his magic power consumption increased significantly, so Emiya had no choice but to project a bamboo sword that he had trained.

But he was afraid that they would misunderstand his thoughts, so he spent a lot of magic power to project a piece of paper with writing on it and put it on the bamboo knife.

"I accidentally spilled tea on him yesterday. Could he be here seeking revenge? Should I hide now?"

They looked at Emiya who was very agile and climbed up to the roof and rushed towards their position.

Suma was a little scared again.

"No! You have to use your brain!"

Makiyu tapped Suma's forehead, expressing his helplessness.

Their biggest enemies are evil spirits, as far as humans are concerned, and Emiya is also known in Yuguo for his willingness to help others. In addition, what he shot at him was just a bamboo knife, so they didn't think that Emiya would be of much use to them. of malice.

If there is really any malicious intent, it should be hiding in the shadows and giving them a fatal blow, rather than an open and honest sneak attack.

However, this situation usually does not happen. Their Demon Slayer Team does not have any human enemies except ghosts.

Soon, Emiya came to them.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Suma on the side quickly rushed up to hold Emiya's hand and apologized continuously.

For a moment, Emiya stopped thinking, his head was in a defensive state, and he suddenly forgot what he had come to ask.

"Don't cause trouble!"

Maki clamped Suma's arms with both hands and dragged her aside.

"Well, I want to ask, what happened last night?"

Rather than their identities, Emiya wanted to know what happened here, because only by obtaining more information could it be possible to rescue those hundreds of people. Human lives always come first.

Emiya had always held out hope for this matter.

"You're not from the Demon Slayer Squad, are you?"

Hinata looked directly at Emiya's firm eyes and asked a question in the affirmative.

If you are a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, you will definitely be equipped with a Demon Slayer uniform, and you will not stay in one place for a month.

There are various evil spirits wandering throughout Japan, and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are basically fighting and training all the time.

"No, I'm not."

Emiya shook his head in confusion. He just wanted to get some information about this place. Why did he ask if he was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?

"Since you are not a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, I cannot tell you the information here!"

Hinazuru didn't want to drag such a gentle young man into this extremely dangerous matter. Maybe he would join the Demon Slayer Squad in the future, but now Emiya couldn't get involved in such a thing.

This young man has not grown up yet, this is what Chu He thinks in his heart. Maybe it will be difficult for many people to understand, but this is a high emotional intelligence idea.

The expression of low emotional intelligence is that Emiya's current strength is too weak in Hinazuru's eyes.

As the wife of the sound column, she also often comes into contact with the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Over time, she can feel that the normal breathing patterns of the Demon Slayer Corps members are very different from the normal breathing patterns of ordinary people.

Emiya was somewhere in between the two at this time, a person who had not yet fully mastered the art of breathing.

How can a person who has not mastered the breathing method have the power to fight against ghosts?

What's more, Emiya doesn't have the Nichirin Sword that can kill the ghost. If he is really allowed to participate in this matter, Hinazuru feels that the most likely thing is that he will be buried in the belly of the ghost.

Hinata doesn't want this to happen.

"Why?"

Emiya didn't understand her behavior. Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person to help with this kind of thing?

This is not some kind of competition for resources. If one less person knows about it, more benefits can be obtained. When facing creatures like ghosts, shouldn't they be unanimous in dealing with the outside world?

"Don't worry, we have reported this matter, and members of the Demon Slayer Squad will come over soon to solve the matter. This kind of thing will never happen again."

Afraid that Emiya would be impulsive and fight with ghosts, Hinazuru quickly told him the solution.

"What about those who disappeared?"

Emiya didn't hear the answer she wanted.

"They must have been devoured by ghosts."

Hinata lowered her head and sighed.

"Impossible! Do ghosts really have such power?"

That was hundreds of people, how could they die so easily.

Just chopping one by one will make them weak.

"No, hundreds of people can sometimes be easily accomplished by powerful ghosts."

Makiyu patted Emiya's shoulder and answered Emiya's question with a heavy heart.

Emiya thought that no matter how strong those ghosts were, they were just like the magicians Kiritsugu told him about in his own world.

Because if a phenomenon achieved through miraculous means can be achieved by technology in terms of results, it is called magic.

In this case, no matter how strong the magician's combat effectiveness is, it should be about the same as those of mercenaries, at least from Emiya's point of view.

If there are many ghosts who can easily destroy one-tenth of the city in an instant, wouldn't the people here be basically ruled by ghosts?

Obviously there are no dedicated people to protect such a prosperous town. If the Demon Slayer Squad arrives every time after an incident occurs, wouldn't the ghosts be able to change the place with a single shot and destroy the entire country? destroy.

Chapter 24: Ghost Eater——Asakusa Koe (Part 2)

"She's really mad at me. I'm going to eat her today!"

Fallen Princess grabbed the pink silk in her hand and threw out the person in her portrait.

She patted her head in confusion and got up from the ground.

The whole room was very dark. If it weren't for the moonlight, she might not be able to see clearly what was around her.

"Am I back?"

Looking at the familiar configuration around her, Asakusa Koe rubbed her eyes in confusion.

“It’s quite exquisite, and it’s not a term that insults the food.”

Fallen Princess lifted Asakusa Koe's chin and said with a slightly appreciative tone.

Although Asakusa Koe is still young and stunted, she is indeed a first-class beauty. At least she will be a popular woman when she grows up, and at the very least she will be an oiran.

Of course, the premise is that the body is fully developed. If it is still in such a skinny state, it will not show off no matter how beautiful it is.

However, just as Fallen Girl was choking her neck, a figure appeared in front of the window, blocking the bright moonlight.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time."

A voice that sounded more like a man than a woman came from this figure.

"Lord Wuhan!"

She hurriedly threw the food in her hand aside, knelt on the ground, and looked at the figure in front of her with respect.

"It seems that your power has become one step closer during your stay in Guo."

There was a hint of praise in his tone, as if he was looking forward to her growth in strength.

No one paid attention to Asakusa Koe, who was thrown heavily to the wall and then fell to the ground.

"If you can continue to devour more people, your strength will become even stronger."

With that said, Wu Mei gradually walked up to Duo Ji and gently touched her face.

"Now"

But an unexpected sound came from Wuhan's feet.

"Hungry!"

The wounds on her body had basically recovered. At this time, she seemed to have lost consciousness, and her whole body relied on instinct to slowly approach Wu Mei.

Just like Tanjiro who appeared behind Akaza without being noticed after understanding the transparent world.

At this time, Asakusa Kaede had no killing intention towards anything around her.

"Lord Muzan!"

Seeing Muzan's foot bitten, Daki screamed, and the red silk around her suddenly danced wildly, wanting to cut Asakusa Kaede into pieces.

But Muzan waved his hand.

"Really an interesting child, since you want to eat ghosts, then I will give you my blood!"

As the ancestor of ghosts, Muzan could clearly feel that there were a lot of ghosts in this girl's body. I think she had the same physique as the ghost eater who had appeared and was killed.

But because she was very young and had eaten a lot of ghosts, she was always in a half-ghost and half-human state, so her body was able to recover quickly in such a short time.
