Chapter 246

He spoke very little.

Most of the time, he was just silent like this.

If he felt there was no need to explain, he wouldn't explain.

Shinobu Kocho looked at Giyu Tomioka. "Since you truly want to protect her, then I don't need to stay here and buy time for you." "Farewell, please take care."

Saying this, Shinobu Kocho jumped onto the trees and left this place.

Giyu Tomioka looked in the direction Shinobu Kocho had left and set off to chase after her.

While fleeing, Tanjiro was very worried.

Will I be expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps?

Even if it’s my sister, I still acted while carrying a demon.

It’s impossible to be accepted.

"Someone is approaching!"

Suddenly, he smelled a scent.

He hurriedly pulled Nezuko to dodge.

He saw a figure landing at the spot where they had just been standing.

It was a girl.

She had a butterfly hairpin on her head and was wearing a white cape.

During the Final Selection, Tanjiro had seen this person.

Kanao Tsuyuri.

Of course, Tanjiro didn't know the other person.

"Wait, I..."

Tanjiro wanted to say something, but the other person didn't pay attention to him and directly launched an attack.

Of course, she didn't use a sword.

But even so, this Kanao Tsuyuri easily suppressed Tanjiro.

This person is so strong...

Tanjiro was surprised in his heart.

Even he and Nezuko together couldn't defeat the other person.

This was because Kanao Tsuyuri had mastered Total Concentration: Constant.

She was in a state of total concentration at all times.

So her combat power was relatively strong.

At this time, she kicked Tanjiro.

The speed was so fast that the latter couldn't dodge.

Oh no.

Tanjiro frowned in his heart.

"You ran quite far."

Just when he thought he couldn't dodge.

A voice with a hint of a smile came.

?

Tanjiro was stunned, and then he saw Karl eating potato chips on the side.

???

What is Mr. Karl eating?

Where did the food come from?

"Mr. Karl..."

"Hmm."

Karl nodded. "Don't worry."

"This person can no longer move."

"Ah?"

Tanjiro was even more surprised when he heard this.

He looked at Kanao Tsuyuri.

The other person didn't know what happened, but she was lying on the ground unconscious.

Tanjiro saw this and became a bit anxious instead. "Mr. Karl, this girl is not a bad person." "We just had some misunderstandings, you won't kill her, right?"

Although Kanao Tsuyuri had attacked him.

But Tanjiro knew that the other person had her reasons.

And he didn't want a fellow member of the Demon Slayer Corps to die because of him.

"Rest assured, I didn't kill her."

Karl responded casually. "She just fell asleep."

"It won't cause any harm to her body."

Tanjiro went closer to observe and found that the other person’s breathing was steady, and indeed it didn't look like there was any problem.

He let out a long breath. "That’s good..."

Karl looked at Tanjiro with great interest. "What are you planning to do?"

"The Demon Slayer Corps knows about your sister’s situation, what are you going to do now?"

"I..."

Tanjiro thought for a moment and said, "In any case, let’s leave this place for now." "Alright, let’s go."

Karl nodded. "It just so happens I have nothing to do, I’ll accompany you for a while."

Tanjiro said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Mr. Karl!"

"Thank you!"

Tanjiro knew that Karl was helping him.

If it were just him alone.

Carrying his sister and facing the Demon Slayer Corps, he really wouldn't have much confidence in leaving.

But if Mr. Karl could help, then he had nothing to worry about.

After all, Karl’s power was very strong.

He had killed the Twelve Kizuki in an instant earlier.

When he knocked out that girl just now, it didn't take any effort at all.

Plus, with the existence of the chat group, Tanjiro knew a little about Karl’s power.

He knew that in this world, there was almost no one as powerful as Karl.

With Karl here, leaving Mt. Natagumo was not difficult at all.

So he was very grateful to Karl.

"You're welcome, let’s go."

"Alright."

Tanjiro nodded, then took his sister and walked down the mountain.

On the way, Shinobu Kocho saw Giyu Tomioka chasing after her and said, "Do you think you can catch up to me with that speed?" "..."

Giyu Tomioka didn't speak.

Shinobu Kocho continued, "You can come and stop me."

"But don't forget, there is still one more person."

"..."

Giyu Tomioka still didn't speak.

Instead, he accelerated and caught up to Shinobu Kocho.

Although Shinobu Kocho was one of the nine Hashira, her strength was too small, and she couldn't even cut off the head of a demon.

What she was truly good at was not combat power like swordsmanship or physical fitness.

But using poison.

The poison she developed could even kill demons.

In terms of physical fitness, she was naturally no match for Giyu Tomioka, who was an orthodox swordsman.

After all, Giyu Tomioka’s strength was among the best of the nine Hashira.

So he quickly caught up to Shinobu Kocho.

And directly captured the other person.

"Tomioka."

Shinobu Kocho asked, "Are you listening, Tomioka?"

"I attacked you to kill a demon, which doesn't violate the corps rules."

"But your behavior is a violation of the corps rules."

"You are hindering the killing of demons."

"Why are you doing this?"

"This is an ultimatum."

"..."

Giyu Tomioka was silent for a moment. "It should have been two years ago."

"..."

Shinobu Kocho was a bit helpless. "Please don't start a long-winded recollection, are you deliberately looking for trouble?" "I said you were hated, are you holding a grudge?"

"..."

Giyu Tomioka frowned.

At this time, a blade popped out from the sole of Shinobu Kocho’s shoe.

She raised her foot to kick Giyu Tomioka.

Just when Giyu Tomioka was preparing to counterattack.

The voice of a Kasugai Crow suddenly rang out.

"Message, message!"

"Orders from headquarters, capture Tanjiro and Nezuko."

"Bring the two back to headquarters."

"Capture Tanjiro, and Nezuko who is a demon."

"Bring them back to headquarters."

"Tanjiro, wearing a checkered patterned jacket, has a scar on his forehead."

"The girl Nezuko is a demon, with a bamboo muzzle in her mouth."

Hearing the orders from headquarters.

Even if Giyu Tomioka wanted to help Tanjiro and his sister.

He couldn't do anything openly.

He had no choice but to put away his sword and let go of Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho saw this and also stopped her sneak attack.

The two entered the forest together to search for the Kamado siblings.

"Message, message!"

"Orders from headquarters, capture Tanjiro and Nezuko."

Just as Tanjiro was traveling through the mountain forest with his sister.

He heard the voice of the Kasugai Crow.

"..."
