"Woo——"

"Dang-dang-dang-dang!"

"The train is moving! Passengers, please take your seats."

Before Genichiro could reach out his hand, a violent push forward and a loud noise appeared almost at the same time, causing him to be knocked backwards immediately, with his back pressed against the backrest.

On the other hand, Butterfly Kanae seems to have become accustomed to going out by train, and she still has a smile on her calm and steady face.

"What's wrong? Is this your first time traveling by train?"

Genichiro nodded, looking at the scenery outside the window that passed faster and faster in just a few seconds, feeling a little dizzy.

I have long heard that this so-called train can travel thousands of miles in a day, but I didn't expect it to be so much more comfortable than riding a horse, just sitting in it.

It's a bit noisy though.

But compared to the speed, this is hardly a disadvantage. As long as you get used to the rhythm of the banging, you will feel much more comfortable in no time.

Just like blacksmithing in Ashina.

"By the way, I just heard you say that your name is Ashina Genichiro?"

"Genichiro. That's a really nice name. It has the charm of a samurai in it."

Butterfly Kanae didn't seem to care about Genichiro's cold face and started to find a topic on her own.

"But is this Wei's name the same as the 'Wei Ming Chicken' mentioned in the newspaper before?"

"Yes."

Genichiro is very satisfied with the current situation.

Nowadays, when people hear Ashina's name, they no longer have the same expression of "I wonder if it's a little place they've never heard of before".

This is enough to show that the commotion they created at the zoo before was indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At least when people hear these two words now, what comes out of their eyes is more curiosity than disdain and disinterest.

"Although I have never heard of this place before, it is really magical when I think about it."

Kanae's expression was obviously gentle, but her upper body suddenly reached forward, and a pair of eyes without any malice seemed to see into Genichiro's heart in an instant.

"Not only are there big roosters that can defeat polar bears, but there are also elementary school students who can easily injure adults with coins."

She was completely teasing and amazed, but Genichiro suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

He planned to explain.

"It's not like they took my place first..."

"No."

Genichiro only said half of a sentence before he was gently interrupted by Kanae, "As I said before, I am a doctor and I think I do a pretty good job. Due to the demands of my work, I like to observe the people around me.

.”

"When you got in the car, you were facing me. I could see everything clearly."

"When you find out that your position is occupied, you originally planned to change it until..."

Kanae lifted the long knife wrapped in cloth from the window, "It wasn't until you discovered this thing that you walked over with great purpose."

"Then he slashed the man's neck viciously."

【Been, discovered!】

Although Genichiro knew that women were attentive, he didn't expect that Hashira from the Demon Slayer Squad could be so meticulous in his observations while joking with others!

Sure enough, in this organization, perhaps not everyone is as ordinary as Murata.

"Although it's because of my carry-on baggage rather than my appearance, this is the first time I've been approached by someone of the opposite sex."

"But kid," Kanae narrowed her eyes, "can you tell me why? Shouldn't most people stay away when they see a samurai sword? Why do you take the initiative to come up to me?"

Although Genichiro showed some flaws, he did not panic.

Now is not the time to reveal your purpose.

"I just started practicing swordsmanship recently." Genichiro replied, "Looking at the similar shape, I am a little interested."

"Besides, I'm not bad at observation. You're not a bad person at first glance."

"Really? I feel so happy to be trusted by others."

Butterfly Kanae stared at Genichiro for a while, then suddenly said: "Please show me your hand."

Genichiro had ten thousand reasons not to reach out, but the strange affinity of the other party made him extend his right hand.

"It's really strange. It is indeed the right hand to hold the sword recently."

Kanae's fingertips touched the skin at the base of Genichiro's palm, "But novices make many mistakes, so the skin here, here and here are usually worn away, but you are not at all."

"Like a veteran who has just started to touch the sword."

She clicked on a few locations, and Genichiro nodded silently.

When he first started practicing sword practice, those areas were indeed the most vulnerable to injury.

"It seems that you have a very powerful swordsmanship teacher. No wonder the police officer calls you Master."

Kanae returned her hand to Genichiro, "But, as a doctor who has treated many patients, why do I always feel that you are hiding something?"

"But everyone has their own secrets, so I won't presume to pursue them."

The heart that Genichiro just raised was instantly relieved.

If Kanae continues to ask, he may have to tell the truth, but with the temperament of the Demon Slayer Corps, he will definitely not lead an unrelated person to find ghosts.

What's more, he's still a child.

It's okay to give up now.

"It's so cute to see how relieved you are. You look very much like my sister."

"younger sister?"

Genichiro didn't expect that the members of the Demon Slayer Squad actually had family members?

Doing a job that is more dangerous than that of a Warring States general, can you really trust your family, or make them feel at ease?

"Yes, she is 14 years old this year, but she is a bit thin and looks about the same age as you."

Butterfly Kanae looked a little happy when she talked about her sister, "However, she is more talented as a doctor than me, but her temper is a bit stubborn."

"I've always wanted her to be able to be a better doctor, but she just wants to do the same job as me. It's really distressing."

[So, are they actually still medical staff of the Demon Slayer Corps? 】

"Ms. Kanae, are you going to take the train to visit your sister?"

Genichiro didn't plan to continue the pleasantries, he had to know Kanae's destination quickly.

"No, my sister lives with me. I am traveling this time because I want to know about some friends."

Speaking of friends, the worry in Butterfly Kanae's eyes flashed away.

"What about you? What are you going to do with just such a few things?"

"I'm going to Kumamoto Prefecture," Genichiro said, "to soak in the hot springs."

"That's a real coincidence."

Kanae laughed again, "It looks like we're going to get off the bus at Kumamoto together, little Genichiro."

"But if you want to go to a hot spring, there are dozens of hot spring villages in Kumamoto. Which one should you go to?"

【This is exactly what I planned to ask you!】

Genichiro thought in his mind.

"It's my first time to go there, and I wanted to hear what the locals think, but since Ms. Kanae asked, do you have any recommendations?"

He stuffed the question back again.

"Hmm... As for hot springs, I'm more familiar with those in Oita Prefecture."

Genichiro understood, after all, Oita Prefecture is where the Demon Slayer Corps' training ground, Fujirai Mountain, is located.

"But as for Kumamoto, I don't know exactly where you should go, but I do know a little bit about where you shouldn't go."

[The place she didn’t let me go to was probably the village with the ghost...]

Genichiro thought so.

Saying that, Butterfly Kanae took out a newspaper from the seat next to her.

Turned to the advertising page.

"Look, there is a place called Izumino Village."

"It is said that in order to attract customers, they did some kind of open-air mixed bathing stunt."

"A kid like you must never go to a hot spring village like that."
