"Hey, haven't I added those 10 attribute points from the newbie gift pack yet?" Jiang Jiu asked in surprise, "I completely forgot about that?"

He smiled and shook his head, and just as he was about to click on it, he suddenly stopped.

He thought for a moment: "10 attribute points won't be of much use to me now, so I might as well save them for now."

"In case of any emergency in the future, adding a certain item might have unexpected effects."

After resting for a night, he prepared to set off.

To be honest, as a ghost, Jiang Jiu really wanted to travel at night, not only because the chances of encountering other ghosts were higher, but also because he wouldn't be threatened by sunlight.

But the Demon Slayer Corps members are human, and he can't help but conform to the "human" schedule, which makes him feel helpless.

The next morning, Jiang Jiu arrived at the lobby and found that a girl had arrived early.

Chestnut blossoms fall, Kanao.

"It's you?" Jiang Jiu was surprised. He thought that the person accompanying him was just another random member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Good morning, Mr. Ghost." She greeted him politely.

"Good morning," Jiang Jiu replied.

However, after greeting him, she stood there motionless, not saying a word, just smiling and looking at him.

"Huh??" Jiang Jiu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Please give the order to depart, Mr. Oni," Kanao said with a smile.

“Where’s Ubuyashiki? Why isn’t he coming out?” Jiang Jiu asked.

Kanao did not answer, but continued to look at Jiang Jiu with a smile.

Is something wrong with him?

Kanao did not answer, but continued to look at Jiang Jiu with a smile.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Kanao did not answer, but continued to look at Jiang Jiu with a smile.

“Uh…” Jiang Jiu looked at her with a headache: “This child does have some mental issues.”

Just as she was about to leave, she took out a coin from her pocket, tossed it into the air, and then slapped it onto the back of her hand as it fell.

then……

Kanao did not answer, but continued to look at Jiang Jiu with a smile.

Jiang Jiu: "..."

If I'm not mistaken, the coin landed on the tails, right?

Jiang Jiu sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go and slay the demon."

Kanao put away the coin and followed behind Jiang Jiu with a smile on her face.

As they were about to leave the Ubuyashiki residence, Jiang Jiu shouted, "Yaozai, I'm leaving."

Regardless of whether he could hear her or not, Jiang Jiu led Kanao forward with great strides.

Chapter 32 Kanao's Dilemma

Jiang Jiu and she didn't talk much along the way.

Although Jiang Jiu had a good overall impression of her, she knew about her flaws and didn't know how to start a conversation.

Unlike Tanjiro, who is outgoing and enthusiastic, he was a bit shy in his past life as a homebody.

Now I'm naturally not afraid of strangers, but I still feel uncomfortable taking the initiative to speak up.

Half a day later, the two arrived at another small town.

"Miss Kanao, do you know how far we are from our destination?"

Kanao said with a smile, "At this speed, it's still two days' journey."

Jiang Jiu sighed: "Are there any carriages around here? At this rate, who knows how many more people will die in two days."

"Yes, there is a post station where you can rent horse-drawn carriages, about half an hour ahead."

"Okay, let's head over there right away."

Kanao seemed to have thought of something, took out a coin from her pocket, and tossed it into the air.

After glancing at both sides, she smiled and said, "There's a train an hour and a half ahead. Would you like to take a horse-drawn carriage or the train, Mr. Ghost?"

Jiang Jiu: "..."

"How long does it take to get there by horse-drawn carriage, or by train?"

Kanao replied, "The carriage will arrive early tomorrow morning, while the train will arrive before tonight."

"Then let's go by train."

"Hi……"

By the time the two arrived at the train station, it was lunchtime.

Kanao was at a loss, so Jiang Jiu ordered her a bento box.

To be honest, people who can afford to take the train these days are all quite well-off, and the lunch boxes on the train look rather plentiful.

Judging by its appearance alone, this is definitely a delicious dish, but the aroma that would make a normal person's mouth water has no effect on Jiang Jiu.

Of course, it didn't have the kind of overly dramatic and disgusting feeling found in other films; it was just normal and unmoving.

After Kanao finished eating, the two closed their eyes to rest.

Actually, if Jiang Jiu hadn't told her to close her eyes and rest, she would have just sat there in a daze, completely still.

The carriage was enclosed, and the strong smell of human flesh constantly challenged Jiang Jiu's nerves.

Therefore, closing your eyes to rest is not very effective.

Suddenly, he smelled a stench that disgusted him, a stench he had smelled for six long years.

Upon opening her eyes, she discovered that the source of the smell was Kanao.

The enclosed environment inside the train allowed him to smell Kanao's scent, the fragrance of wisteria.

Now, he couldn't rest as peacefully as before.

Ugh, this is awful.

Fortunately, he was a ghost, so he didn't need to rest. Rest was mainly used to pass the time.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Hmm, if I learn all the breathing techniques, will there be a special reward?"

He nipped the idea in the bud as soon as it popped into his head.

"Hmm... I'm overthinking it. The Demon Slayer Corps and demons have a history of almost a thousand years, and the Breathing Techniques have been around for over a hundred years, right?"

“There must have been many branching methods of breathing techniques that emerged in between, and many of them must have disappeared.”

"So it's unlikely that there are hidden missions of this type, and even if there were, I wouldn't be able to complete them."

Another thought then arose: "But what if I created another breathing method?"

He thought it was very likely.

"Demon Breathing?"

"Breath of Darkness?"

"Breath of Light?"

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and shook his head: "Let's learn the major breathing techniques first."

"Creating a tributary breathing method is simple, but reversing it is difficult."

This is like a high school student creating a simple middle school question; it's almost impossible for a middle school student to reach the high school level using only middle school knowledge.

Of course, it would be best to learn everything. If you still can't figure it out on your own, you can always be a little shameless and learn from Tanjiro.

Just then, the train arrived at the station. Jiang Jiu woke up Kanao and got off the train. It was lunchtime again.

Jiang Jiu kept thinking to himself, "This girl is so lucky, she gets to eat as soon as she wakes up."

"Mr. Oni, don't you need to replenish your energy?" Kanao asked, of course, she flipped a coin.

"It's alright. Ghosts maintain their energy for longer than humans, and even if they need to replenish their energy, they can't eat these things," Jiang Jiu laughed.

Kanao asked curiously, "How do you replenish your energy?"

Jiang Jiu gave a cryptic smile: "Eating ghosts..."

Kanao's face showed a hint of horror, but she quickly smiled again.

This answer was clearly unexpected.

"So, tonight you're in charge of protecting the civilians, and I'll take care of the ghost."

"I haven't replenished my energy for more than two months."

Kanao remained silent and did not respond.

She doesn't even know how to answer normal questions, so she's even less sure how to respond to such an illogical one.

She didn't even know how to face what was to come.

Should we follow Mr. Ghost's instructions?

Or should we stop him from doing something so obviously illogical?

But his very existence defies common sense.
