"Tezuka Kazusa, a man who can kill eleven ghosts by himself with an ordinary sword."

The white-eyed man looked serious as he read Haraguchi Koichi's report word for word.

"Tokyo people, because their parents were killed by ghosts, they go around killing ghosts to take revenge."

"No matter what, let's have someone investigate to see if his identity is true."

The white-eyed man thought for a moment, put away the note, then stood up and looked at the cherry blossoms in the courtyard.

"However, even if the origin of a person with such great strength is unknown, it is not impossible to exclude him as appropriate."

"Plop la la..."

The white-eyed man shook his arm, and the messenger crow standing on top flapped its wings and left.

One month later, Osaka.

In a spacious courtyard full of flowers and plants, Illumi, dressed in a bright red kimono, sat alone on a mat, with a coffee table in front of him and warm sake on it.

"Your Excellency He Zai, please use it with caution."

A middle-aged woman wearing a furisode kimono came over with cakes and placed them gently on the coffee table with a smile on her face.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yilumi nodded slightly and picked up a piece of pastry to taste.

Ilumi spent money to stay here, and because of his generosity, his host was very polite to him.

And because he doesn't behave like ordinary people, the head of the family will even chat with Yilumi in his free time.

Ilumi was well-informed. When the owner of the house chatted with him, he was always attracted by everything he described in his words and made him his guest.

His wife usually warms wine and makes cakes, and she will also make an extra portion for him.

As for why he stayed here for the night, it was because he was waiting for a reply from the Demon Slayer Squad.

While waiting, he decided to find a place to stay to prevent the Demon Slayer Squad from finding him.

"He Zai, He Zai!"

At this time, a fat man in black clothes with a knife on his waist ran in from the door, holding a piece of paper in his hand and shouting his name happily.

"It turns out to be Koichi."

Illumi, who was sitting on the mat, stood up and when he saw Haraguchi Koichi, he guessed what was going on.

"He Zai, my lord has verified your identity and the information is true." Yuki Haraguchi handed the note in his hand to Ilumi and said, "This is my lord's arrangement for you. Open it and read it yourself."

Ilumi took the note and unfolded it to take a look.

There was a map drawn on the note, and there was a message at the end of the map, telling him to go to a place called Saagiri Mountain, where someone would train him.

Then, there was nothing.

A few dozen words only told him to go to Mount Samagiri, but other than that, there was no information at all.

"It's really simple." Yilumi looked at the content on the note, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "In that case, then I will follow the instructions and go to this place called Samagiri Mountain."

Illumi knew who the breeder of Mount Sagi was, so he didn't reject it.

"Saagiri Mountain?"

However, when Haraguchi Koki heard this name, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Why, as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, you don't even know about this place?" Seeing his confused look, Ilumi couldn't help but smile: "Isn't this the place where your Demon Slayer Corps trains new blood?"

"Well, there are quite a few breeders." Yukichi Haraguchi touched the back of his head and said, "I've never heard of Mount Saagiri. He should be a senior who retired not long ago."

"Oh~?"

"You really don't know this place?"

"I'm pretty sure, I don't know this place." Yuki Haraguchi nodded and said, "But don't worry, those who can be trainers are all top experts in active service."

"If you go now, you will be that trainer's first disciple."

"If it were you, you would be able to pass the training easily, come on!"

Haraguchi Yuki raised his hand and clenched his fist, cheering for him.

"Then let me lend you some good advice." Yilumi put the note into his arms, "I will set off immediately without further ado."

"Yes." Haraguchi Koichi nodded solemnly, and then said: "I still have missions, so I won't accompany you to Samagiri Mountain. Goodbye."

Immediately, Haraguchi Koichi turned around and walked towards the door. When he was at the door, he turned around and waved to Ilumi one last time, then left at the urging of Xin Ya.

"Your Excellency Hezai, are you leaving?"

In the yard, the middle-aged woman who had just walked out of the room with a pot of tea looked at him and asked.

"Well, thank you for taking care of me during this period." Yilumi nodded to her in thanks, bent down and picked up a piece of pastry from the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Please say goodbye to politics for me."

"Please wait a moment while I go pack your clothes."

The middle-aged woman put down the plate and went back to her room to get the clothes she had washed for Ilumi.

After all, this is Japan. During this period, Ilumi’s clothes were all cleaned by his wife.

"Your Excellency He Zai."

Five minutes later, the middle-aged woman put the clean clothes and shoes in a brown leather suitcase and handed them to Ilumi.

"Thank you."

"Then let's say goodbye."

Yilumi took the suitcase, solemnly said goodbye, turned and walked towards the door.

"You walk slowly and have a pleasant journey."

The middle-aged woman stood there, bowed slightly to Yilumi's back, and said goodbye.

Two months later, at the foot of Mt. Samagiri.

"This is Mount Saagiri. It is indeed a good place to live in seclusion."

Yilumi looked up at the mountain hidden in the clouds and mist in front of him and sighed in his heart.

This place is deep in the mountains and old forests, inaccessible to people, and the air in the mountains is thin. Even ghosts will not come to such a place.

The nearest village has to climb two mountains to get to it.

When it comes to the most suitable place for seclusion in an era when ghosts are everywhere, the only place I can think of is Mount Sagi.

"The sun is going down soon, and there's no place to spend the night here. Let's go up the mountain."

Yilumi looked up at the horizon. A golden disk stood on the top of the mountain, and the golden sunlight poured down, turning this inaccessible deep mountain forest into a paradise.

Ilumi walked towards the mountain relying on his intuition. He didn't know the path up Mount Sawu, and he didn't have a map.

"Um!?"

Suddenly, Ilumi stopped because his foot touched something.

He knelt down and took a look, and saw a small steel wire hanging in the air ten centimeters above the ground in front of him. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been hit.

However, this method is ineffective for him.

If you really want to compare it with a reference, the traps made by soldiers in the modern army are much more sophisticated than this.

Yilumi raised his right leg and crossed it lightly.

At this time, in the woods in the distance, a figure with a white cloth on its head and a red tengu mask suddenly stood up.

"Are you coming?"

"It's only been two months since the notice was issued. Did you walk from Osaka to Mount Sagiri?"

"If that's the case, then I will accept this disciple."
