[Reap 500 reputation points from Style and Butterfly Kanae]

"Genichiro?"

"Why are you here?"

Butterfly Kanae's face was full of surprise and confusion. She didn't expect that the two people who had just separated not long ago would meet again so soon.

Especially on the train, she also emphasized that there had been incidents of animals attacking humans in this village, and asked Genichiro not to come here to soak in the hot springs to avoid danger.

Unexpectedly, the other party was just like Shinobu in the rebellious stage, and did exactly what she wanted.

"Like I said, we'll see you soon, Ms. Kanae."

Genichiro nodded to her, his tone not very familiar, even a little cold.

Naturally, he came here after receiving a report from the Luanbo crowd.

According to the investigation of Ranpo, people in this village seem to be uniting to hide the whereabouts of the demon slayers from Butterfly Kanae.

Thinking back to what happened with the water ghost Haruta Zuoji and the naval hero, this new Shangquan Village is really too suspicious.

But if it is another case of cooperation between humans and ghosts, Genichiro is a little worried that people like Kanae who are too kind in nature may end up here because they underestimate the dangers of human hearts.

After all, people judge others by themselves.

By then, without a single pillar of combat power, it would be difficult for him, Genichiro and the Yotohawks alone, to deal with the ghosts here, let alone rescue Murata.

After all, twelve members of the Demon Slayer team disappeared at the same time.

All in all, Genichiro definitely didn't come here because he cared about the woman he met by chance.

Just like his attitude toward Murata, he was just worried about losing the opportunity to take advantage of him.

Sure enough, just as he started to visit the village with the village chief as an investor, he saw Butterfly Kanae being hit hard on the finger by a child.

That's the right hand that exerts force when wielding a sword.

If you can't even hold the sword firmly, how are you going to kill the ghost?

【What a kind-hearted woman to the point of weakness.】

He commented in his heart.

On the side, the village chief saw that the two knew each other's names, and his expression changed slightly: "Do you two know each other?"

Obviously, he had some doubts about whether Genichiro and this woman who "ruined the reputation of the village" were working together.

"We were on the same train when we came here."

Genichiro said calmly, and Butterfly Kanae also nodded to the village chief.

Judging from the appearance of the two, they seemed to maintain a clear sense of distance, and they did not seem to be acquaintances. The village chief's expression improved slightly.

It's a pity that his good look did not last long.

"However, Chief Xiaoquan, from what happened just now, it seems that the children in your village are quite xenophobic."

Genichiro said seemingly carelessly, "Miss Kanae is a very kind doctor. I didn't expect to be treated like this in your village. It's really unimaginable."

"No wonder there are so few tourists in your village."

As he said this, he showed a disinterested expression.

"Because the elders in my family said they were very interested in the hot spring industry, I came here to take a look. However, your village does not seem to be suitable for investment in terms of business conditions or customs."

When Genichiro said this, he was also secretly explaining to Butterfly Kanae why he was here.

"Oh, Ashina-san, this is a misunderstanding!"

Seeing that things were getting serious, the village chief quickly explained: "To be honest, some weirdos in black uniforms came to the village a few days ago and spread rumors that there was something wrong with the hot springs in our village. This scared most of the guests away.

Got it!"

"But before those men in black came, our village was just like the Kurokawa Hot Spring Village over there, very lively."

"Presumably, it is precisely because this young lady dresses the same as those people that she is targeted by the children."

"However, please rest assured, I assure you that such a thing will never happen again!"

The implication was that he was hinting to Genichiro that this woman was in league with those who spread rumors and must have ulterior motives.

Butterfly Kanae also endured her temper and had no intention of explaining.

She had been trying to defend herself all morning, but the result was that she was almost beaten out of the village by a group of children.

Hostility has already been established, and there is no need to intensify the conflict. This is also an important rule for handling the doctor-patient relationship, and it also applies in this situation.

Moreover, when Genichiro asked the village chief before, he was obviously defending her.

"is that so?"

Genichiro touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"So how do the hot springs in your village compare to Kurokawa? I remember that the hot springs in Kurokawa are ranked third in Japan, right? On the contrary, you are a new hot spring, and I only heard about it not long ago.

"

"We just suffer from the remoteness!"

The village chief vowed, "Anyone who has soaked in the hot spring here once will never go to Kurokawa again! Whether it is water temperature or water quality, our Shinkamisen Village is the best in Kumamoto!"

"As long as you are willing to invest, our village can hire people to build roads and rearrange buildings to attract guests. Then you will know that there is absolutely no risk in investing in us!"

"Oh? Then Mr. Jinji, what do you think?"

Genichiro pretended to turn around and asked Sase Jinji.

After all, it's his child who decides everything, and it's too obvious to be fake.

Butterfly Kanae also paid attention to Genichiro's follower. The doctor's intuition allowed her to immediately see something unusual about Sase Jinji.

Jinji Sase is different from the smart Shinichi Sase. He is about forty years old and is a personal guard at Isshin's health center (one of the three kneeling yoyos in gray downstairs). He is considered a ward.

The higher-ups among the Eagles are responsible for issuing orders to others.

Similar to Genichiro, his eyes and expressions showed obvious indifference towards others, as if he didn't care about the lives of outsiders.

It was this condescending attitude and gorgeous clothes that convinced the village chief of their status as investors.

What's more, there was a (rented) car parked beside the road at the bottom of the mountain. Some villagers saw that the two of them got out of that car.

"Master Genichiro, why don't we experience the hot springs here first?"

Of course Jinji Sase knew that Genichiro needed an opportunity to talk to Kanae Butterfly.

The longer the delay, the smaller the hope of saving people.

They must bypass these villagers and figure out how to find the whereabouts of the Demon Slayer members as soon as possible.

"If the hot springs here are as excellent as what Mayor Koizumi said, we will naturally not let them be buried."

These two words he said made the village chief very happy.

"This gentleman is absolutely right!"

The village chief said, "How about you stay with us for a few days and understand the specific situation. As I said, after soaking in the hot springs in our village, other hot springs are no different from stinking puddles!"

From what he said, he seemed to be extremely confident about the hot springs in his village.

If Genichiro really came here to inspect investment, he might have been infected by the village chief's enthusiasm.

"fair enough."

Genichiro nodded, then looked at Butterfly Kanae, "How about Miss Kanae, come with us."

"After all, it looks like you haven't found your friend yet."

Just as Kanae was about to nod, the village chief immediately shouted: "Mr. Ashina, the people she was looking for left a few days ago!"

What he meant was, of course, that there was no need to stay because Kanae was an unstable factor that might destroy the investment.

But the two of them obviously knew each other, so the village chief could not clearly say that the woman had bad intentions, but could only forcefully find a reason not to keep her.

However, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

"Then it's even more important for Ms. Kanae to stay."

Genichiro interrupted without any doubt, "It just so happens that my family is also planning to arrange a future marriage for me, but I don't have a suitable candidate at the moment."

"There are no outsiders to disturb you at the moment. I also want to know about your sister's situation."

Of course Kanae would not think that Genichiro was telling the truth, but she had ten thousand reasons to stay here and immediately nodded to take the role.

"If you want to talk about Xiao Ren's marriage, then I can only interrupt you."

The village chief wanted to stop it, but when it came to marriage, it was obviously a private matter.

"By the way, since Miss Kanae got here before us, it's up to you to choose the hotel."

Genichiro can be sure that in such an urgent situation, Butterfly Kanae will definitely choose the family she thinks is the most suspicious.

Although Kanae didn't understand why Genichiro let her make a choice, this was simply the best thing.

"Why don't we just go to that kid's house? His house happens to be the first hotel I visited in the morning, and we seem to have some misunderstandings that need to be resolved."
