Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

He didn't ask why, nor did he care what happened, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. He just waited for Muzan's final words to send him away.

This long-lost pattern reminded Rinko of the previous Upper Moon Conference. At that time, Akaza was not yet Upper Moon Three, and Douma's eyes were not yet Two. After so many years, many things have changed, but the one that remains unchanged is that his brain is still not working well, and he still can't figure out what Muzan is thinking.

But Muzan always has his own reasons for what he does, and Rinkou has never really cared where he is assigned to.

So when Muzan told him that he could go out and move around on his own after a long time, Rinko felt even happier.

"There are only two requirements. One, come to see me once every month. Two, if you see a ghost hunter, run away immediately. Can you do this, Rinkou?"

This wasn't even a request, and Lingguang agreed very readily.

"can."

Rinko didn't know what kind of mental journey Muzan had gone through, nor how he finally made such a judgment.

But he could actually understand why Muzan was in a bad mood.

She was walking peacefully on the street, ready to spend a leisurely evening, but was frightened by Tanjiro who showed up unexpectedly. The pair of earrings brought him back to the desperate situation of several hundred years ago. She wanted to test him, but the other party kept saying that he would chop off her head and chase her to hell. She was a complete ghost.

After finally sending Miss Li and Chiyo away, he was ready to carefully find out whether Tanjiro was the reincarnation of the demon. Just as he was about to find a quiet place, he was bumped into by three drunkards who took the initiative to provoke him. One of them even stepped on a landmine. Anyone would probably not be in a good mood, let alone Muzan who had just been scared by Tanjiro.

What frightened the ghosts even more was that after sending out two ghosts, no news came back after one night, and neither of them came back until dawn.

Rinko does not understand fear and is not afraid, so he cannot empathize with Muzan.

But he could understand why Muzan was in a bad mood, just like he was in a bad mood when he faced those drunks.

But Rinko really couldn't figure out how Tanjiro found this place? And how did he recognize Muzan?

Muzan's disguise is flawless. Even Miss Rei and Chiyo, who live with them day and night, never thought that he and Muzan would be ghosts. How did Tanjiro recognize them?

Moreover, the other party did not simply discover that Muzan was a demon, but also recognized the fact that 'Tsukihiko' was 'Muzan'.

Even when Rinko knew that Muzan was a demon, it was not so easy for him to find him in a city.

How did Tanjiro come out from nowhere and find it so accurately?

And why would Muzan choose to let himself out at this time?

There were many questions, but Lin Guang couldn't think of any of them.

Lin Guang would never be able to figure out something without an answer no matter how long he relied on himself. When the night breeze blew across his face, he threw this confusion along with the memories of his years of pretending to be human into the wind, and began to think about questions that were more meaningful to the 'present'.

Where to go.

With a casual shake of his wrist, the pot on the rope spun around in the air. The night wind was a bit chilly, and he vaguely remembered the feeling of confusion after returning to freedom. The last time he was released, he had made an appointment with a member to meet again.

Gyokutsuchi was right beside him. Akaza and Douma had just met before and had also been to Hana-gai. However, the one he hadn't seen for a long time was Hantengu, whose whereabouts were unknown. However, Rinkou still had some trauma about Hantengu's family of ghosts, so visiting an old friend became the most appropriate decision at the moment.

Before Yu Hu could complain, Ling Guang decided on their next destination. Although most ghosts were keen on wandering around, there were still some ghosts willing to stay.

Tired is one of them.

It took Lin Guang a longer time than expected to find the mountain where the spider family lived. Since he was not good at remembering the specific locations of places he had been to, Lin Guang used the simplest and most effective method for him, and followed the same route back.

Eliminate all the wrong places and you will always find the right route.

The first mountain they arrived at was Tanjiro's home. There was no longer the bustling scene he remembered. The house was covered with dust, and the piles of firewood and coal showed that no one had lived here for a long time. Rinko knew very well what those small piles of stones represented.

"What a shame. But don't worry, Tanjiro is doing well and has joined the Demon Slayer Corps."

Lin Guang placed the bouquets of flowers in front of the mound, slightly straightened the arrangement of the stones, waved to them, and turned to head to the next mountain.

Speaking of which, does the number of graves on the mountain not match the number of people in Tanjiro's family?

Rinkou tilted his head as he slid down the hillside, but he didn't think about it seriously. Maybe he followed Tanjiro, or was buried somewhere else. If he wanted to know everything, he would be exhausted.

The mountain behind them belonged to Mr. Urokodaki. It was unusually quiet, perhaps because he hadn't been teaching any students recently. A light was on in the house at the foot of the mountain. From his perch by the window, Rinkou could see the man inside, bent over a table, writing something with a pen. There were many words written on a long page, but Rinkou didn't bother to examine it. He simply waved quietly and walked away.

Then came a quiet mountain range that didn't match his memory. The last time he'd been here, a wild beast had roamed the area, but now it was gone. Had it left, or died? Lin Guang wasn't sure, so he just kept walking. Then came a familiar grave. The things in front of the grave were still there, but the wooden planks had gathered dust, and the carved words were a little blurry. Lin Guang wiped away the dust, covered it with new carvings, and then neatly arranged the gifts from that year and replaced the flowers with a new one.

"Goodbye."

Of course, no one responded to his politeness, so Rinkou turned and walked away.

There was a mountain after another, and the boring journey lasted for a week. He walked through the flower street and went around to where he used to live. There he saw Kyojuro, who took over his father's job to look after this area. He originally wanted to say hello to him, but thinking of Tanjiro, he finally slipped away without opening his mouth.

Lin Guang's luck cannot be said to be good, but his energy is indeed not bad. The final destination of the journey was finally found accurately after searching along the way.

The long period of not seeing each other did not create any barriers for him in this family. For Gui, these few years were not long. The family members had changed and were a little different from what Rinko had remembered, but his mother's appearance had not changed, and she was still there. Rinko felt that this was still the "home" he was familiar with.

"This is the gift we agreed on."

Before every trip, Rinko would make a promise that he would bring back gifts as a souvenir of the trip and as a welcome for the reunion. Because he had been to so many places in recent years, he brought quite a few gifts to Rui. At first, Rui just reached out to take them, but as he kept taking them, he had to weave a net to hold the souvenirs that Rinko brought back.

"Did you bring back a whole store?"

Lei looked at the bag of various miscellaneous things and couldn't help feeling confused.

"No, it's just that I've been to many places and seen many things. Plus, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I'm giving you a little more."

Lin Guang began to count with him on his fingers.

"Some mountains have very special woods, some have very beautiful leaves, and some have nothing at all. The towns below the mountains have also changed a lot, so of course we have to bring you all kinds of different things to see."

"There's no need to bring back so much..."

Lei originally wanted to say that these were useless things, but the words were swallowed back at his throat, and he just paused there, looking helpless.

"You can't go out when you're tired, right? Then I'll show you."

Lin Guang said it as a matter of course.
