Chapter 396 I want to become stronger and protect the happiness of others that has not yet been destroyed

Narrow Mt.

"Very good!!"

"Won!!"

Tanjiro almost jumped up in excitement.

Hotaru Tetsuzuka stood up from the tatami next to her.

"Well, now that the Sun Blade has been delivered, I should take my leave."

Hotaru Tetsuzuka turned and left with her backpack on her back.

Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji watched Tetsuzuka Hotaru leave. A pitch-black crow flapped its wings and landed on a branch nearby.

The shrill and noisy sound of crows was heard.

"Gah——"

"Task!"

"Task!!"

"Kamado—Tanjiro!"

"Hurry to Northwest Town!!"

"Go ghost hunting!"

“This is your first job!!!”

"Girls keep disappearing!"

"Every night!"

"Every night!!"

“There are girls!”

“There are girls!!”

“Keep disappearing!!!”

...

"Then I'm off!"

Tanjiro, who had just obtained the Nichirin Sword, carried Nezuko into a wooden box, bid farewell to Urokodaki Sakonji, and headed for the northwest town.

...

The world of D-Gray-man.

Black Order Headquarters.

"Did you win?"

Yalian breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the video on the light screen, Kocho Shinobu is in a similar situation to them. They hunt demons and the Millennium Earl, while Kocho Shinobu and others hunt ghosts. They all want to protect others. From Kocho Shinobu, he seemed to see himself and other members of the Black Cult. Therefore, he did not want Kocho Shinobu to die as the title said.

Kanda Yu sat on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest, looking cold and arrogant.

"Innocent."

"Ok?"

Alain and the rabbi looked at him at the same time.

"Although she was victorious, her injuries were so severe that her death was only a matter of time. Trading her life for another's was too foolish. With her speed, she could definitely escape and seek help from her teammates, but she insisted on doing it on her own."

Kanda Yu's tone was somewhat cold and critical.

"I don't agree with you. She wanted to avenge her sister, so she was so impulsive. Besides, she didn't win." Yalian retorted with a serious face.

Kanda You looked at Yalian, and Yalian looked back at him without showing any weakness.

"How childish."

Kanda Yu stood up and left.

The rabbi shrugged.

"You is still the same as always, looking a little heartless. Yalian, you don't have to mind it. You is actually a pretty good person."

Yalian nodded.

And there was no answer.

"Oh? The video isn't over yet, Yalian, come quickly."

Rabbi saw the light curtain coming on and waved to Alian.

...

The scene changed, and a family of four appeared on the screen. When the sisters Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho were young, young Shinobu Kocho was lying in her father's arms and laughing, while Kanae Kocho was hugging her father from behind. Her mother, who was putting a bouquet of flowers into a vase, couldn't help laughing when she saw how happy they were.

A monologue appears.

【I once believed that the path of happiness would last forever...】

[You will only know when it is destroyed....]

In the screen, the picture of a happy family of four was stained red with blood. Young Kocho Kanae was holding her younger sister Kocho Shinobu, huddled in the corner of the closet, while on the ground, the bodies of her parents lay. The blood dyed the house red. The two of them were trembling.

【This happiness is like walking on thin ice. 】

【And even if we are saved. 】

Beimingyu Xingming, dressed in a monk's robe, waved the meteor hammer and chain axe in his hands, and chopped off the demon that broke into the house with its fangs and claws.

Kanae Kocho is holding her sister Shinobu Kocho and watching this scene.

【We also want to become stronger. 】

【Protect the happiness of others that has not yet been destroyed. 】

The ghost was killed, and the two sisters knelt down facing each other, their little fingers hooked together with tears streaming down their cheeks.

【We have agreed on this. 】

[Defeat the ghost, even if there is one more. 】

【Two people together.】

【We cannot let others suffer what we have suffered. 】

The scene returns to Shinobu Kocho stabbing Douma through the heart and nailing him to the ceiling.

[Even if I don't have enough strength, I can still cut off the ghost's neck. 】

[Just defeat one ghost and you can save dozens of people! ]

[If it was an upper moon, hundreds more people would be saved! ]

The poison began to spread from Douma's heart, and his face turned purple, with blue veins all over his face.

[It’s not a question of whether it can be done.]

【But something must be done! 】

Shinobu Kocho drew out the Nichirin Sword and began to fall.

Tanjiro's innocent face appeared in my mind, and he asked seriously, "Are you angry?"

[Yes, I am angry. Tanjirou-kun.]

【Always, always.】

【Everyone is angry! 】

The gentle smile on Shinobu Kocho's face disappeared, replaced by anger. Veins popped out on her head as she glared at the poisoned Douma on the ceiling.

【Both parents were killed.】

【My sister was killed.】

[In addition to Kanao, the stepson was also killed. 】

[The same goes for the children in the "Butterfly House". If their relatives had not been killed by ghosts, they would be living happily with their families now.]

【I'm furious! 】

【What a joke! 】

【asshole! 】

At this moment.

Shinobu Kocho suddenly noticed that the bruises on Douma's face began to fade, and Douma, who had been rolling his eyes, quickly woke up from his coma and grinned at her, revealing a smile and vampire-like teeth.

[Why, the poison has no effect on this guy! ]

【asshole! ! 】

Shinobu Kocho was about to fall to the ground on her back, when Douma suddenly used the blood demon technique, and the lotus-like ice crystals turned into ropes to tie up her body and pull her back. Douma hugged Shinobu Kocho tightly with both hands.

【This is amazing! 】

【You have worked very hard! 】

Douma's tears fell.

At this time, he used ice crystals to drill into the ceiling and fixed his body to the ceiling, and lotus-like ice crystals condensed on the ceiling.

He said with self-admiration.

[I am very touched! ! ]

[Such a weak girl is actually so capable. 】

[I don’t have my sister’s talent, but I still persist in hunting ghosts until now. 】

[It's a miracle that you didn't die! ]

Shinobu Kocho was held tightly in Douma's arms. Veins popped out on her forehead and she frowned. At the same time, cold sweat dripped down her cheeks. At this moment, she could hardly break free from Douma's restraints!

【Everything is in vain. It is foolish to carry out the futility to the end.】

【This is where humans excel! 1】

[You are suitable to be devoured by me! ]

【Spend eternity with me! 】

【Do you have anything else to say? I'll listen to you. 】

【Go to hell! 】

Kocho Shinobu said through gritted teeth.

Her face was full of anger.

Several veins popped up on her face, but she was unable to break free from Douma's hands.

Douma's strength is beyond her reach.

...

Shinobu Kocho is on the verge of life and death. Will she die, being restrained by Douma? .
