"Today, the streets of the inn town are really not peaceful."
An old granny, leaning on a cane, was staggering as she walked, only wanting to quickly return ho.
On one side, the passersby had just finished beating up an unscrupulous rchant. On the other side, the hunters were inexplicably causing a commotion.
"Let go of !"
The one yelling was a girl about the sa size as Shinobu, with a delicate appearance, dressed in a hunter's outfit, and carrying a hunting rifle on her back.
She was surrounded by a group of hunters. Everyone seed to be trying to persuade her.
"Yae, just leave avenging your father to the adults. It's too dangerous for you to go into the mountains alone!"
"What's this?"
The commotion over there clearly attracted Shinobu's attention.
"Her? She's called Yae."
A nearby passerby, full of interest, joined in the conversation.
He had just watched the exciting scene of the mob beating up the shady rchant and still hadn't had enough. Now with more drama to watch, he naturally didn't want to leave.
"She's the daughter of the hunter Yae. Sigh, her father and his companions were killed by a bear right in front of her eyes."
"Since then, except for coming to the village to buy things, she's basically always in the mountains searching for her enemy."
The passerby sighed, deeply sympathetic toward her experience.
Shinobu listened without saying a word, standing to the side, seemingly deep in thought.
Jotaro had no interest in such things. After finishing his cigarette on the side, he shoved his hands into his pants pockets, ready to leave.
He had co to this place chasing demons. In Aoyanagi Town, he had encountered seven demons. He eliminated four of them; three escaped.
The three that escaped were: a seductive female demon, a ntally unstable loli, and a cross-dressing demon.
Jotaro wasn't so goody-two-shoes who stubbornly believed demons should always be killed and humans should always be protected.
His principle had always been, as long as you don't ss with him, everything's fine.
But if you provoke him, it doesn't matter whether you're human or demon, even if you're the Heavenly King, he'll punch you.
There was no deep grudge between those three demons and him, but they had slaughtered the entire town's people. That act had touched Jotaro's reverse scale.
Maybe so of the townsfolk deserved to die, but there were also weak people who didn't deserve to be trampled and slaughtered.
Such behavior from the demons was undoubtedly evil in Jotaro's eyes and made him extrely unhappy. In addition, he had received a random mission from the system.
The system instructed him to execute a demon nad Takakura Ken, who was the leader of the seven demons.
Completing the mission would earn him a reward from the system. The richness of the reward depended on how quickly the task was completed. From the mont the mission was issued, the less ti it took, the greater the reward.
Jotaro had now clearly recognized reality, to survive in this new world, he had to rely on the power of the system.
According to the system, he might even have to travel to other unknown worlds later on.
This world had demons; who knew what kind of monsters the other worlds had?
Whether it was for future journeys or to confront his archenemy, DIO, he had to beco stronger.
Now that he already knew what would happen in the future, after arriving in this new world, Jotaro definitely wouldn't let his companions die again.
"Yare yare..."
The last reward he received from completing a system mission was the training thod for Ripple, which could effectively help him fight demons.
He wondered what the reward would be this ti? He just hoped it would be sothing practical.
Although Jotaro didn't really play gas, this kind of mission-and-reward system honestly made him quite interested.
"Don't you have eyes? Get lost! Don't get in this lord's way!"
A black-haired youth wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform furrowed his thick eyebrows and impatiently shoved Jotaro aside.
His movents were rough. He was only about 165 cm tall, and in comparison to Jotaro's 195 cm height, he looked very small.
However, due to long-term training in physical strength and breathing techniques, his strength was not weak.
Jotaro hadn't noticed him and was pushed aside, stumbling a step.
"Yare..."
He steadied himself and stood in place, his face rging into the shadow of his cap's brim.
The black-haired youth didn't take Jotaro seriously at all. From start to finish, he didn't even glance at him and walked straight to stand in front of Yae.
"You are Yae?"
His expression was arrogant as he looked down on the girl.
Yae still had important things to do. Seeing soone block her path, she frowned and said, "What do you want? Who are you?"
The black-haired youth beca even more arrogant and lifted his chin.
"I am Kaigaku of the Demon Slayer Corps. I heard there are demons eating people here, so I specially ca over. Hurry and tell the details of the demon's attack."
"Demon? What's that? Wasn't it a bear eating people?" The passersby started whispering, "What's this guy talking about?"
A hunter asked this suspiciously dressed person, "Excuse , are you a police officer?"
Kaigaku replied disdainfully, "The Demon Slayer Corps is a more elite organization than the police departnt. I'm a mber of the Demon Slayer Corps, of course I'm higher than a police officer."
The crowd looked at each other. Most of them were not very knowledgeable.
"Have you ever heard of the Demon Slayer Corps? Is it a governnt job?"
"No idea. Judging by the way he talks, I guess it is. He's got a big official tone."
"Better not ss with him."
Shinobu's expression had already turned cold. One of the commandnts of the Demon Slayer Corps is to act discreetly. That's because the Corps is a non-governnt organization, not recognized by the governnt. Acting too high-profile will get them mistaken for suspicious individuals and bring trouble.
This Demon Slayer Corps mber in front of her clearly didn't have that rule in mind.
Kaigaku was greatly enjoying being the center of attention. He looked at the girl with contempt and said, "I heard you witnessed the scene of the demon eating people."
"Tell everything that happened. Quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Yae's expression changed abruptly. She argued, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Kaigaku beca extrely impatient. He admired the strong and wanted to beco strong himself. Right now, there was still a vacant position among the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars. He had coveted it for a long ti.
To beco a Pillar, one must kill 50 demons or defeat a mber of the Twelve Kizuki.
He had just passed the Final Selection and was filled with ambition, wanting to realize his goal as soon as possible.
"Speak!" Kaigaku shouted, reaching out and grabbing the girl's shoulder.
Yae showed a pained expression, gasping heavily, and insisted, "I don't know what you're talking about! If you've got sothing to ask, go ask soone else."
Kaigaku's face was full of nace, clearly not believing her. "You dare go against the Demon Slayer Corps?!"
He tightened his grip on her shoulder, and his other hand rose, about to slap her across the face.
Yae had already been searching for her enemy alone in the freezing snow. Her body was already unwell. Now, with the pain in her shoulder added on, in an instant, her vision began to blur...
