"Look, it's Kazumi!"
"He looks so pitiful! He's so haggard."
"He became like this because his fiancée, Satoko, suddenly disappeared when she was with him."
"Sigh, I don't know what's going on. Lately, girls have been mysteriously disappearing from the town every night. I'm so sick of it!"
"Do you think another one will disappear tonight?"
"If this keeps up, I'm going to move out of here!"
Ryuji listened to the whispers around him and asked Tanjiro, "Did you hear what those people were saying?"
Tanjiro nodded. He hadn't listened carefully to the gossip, but he still knew the general content of their conversation.
"Here's our clue! Let's ask this walking corpse."
After Ryuji finished speaking, Tanjiro immediately chased after the man named Kazumi.
"Mr. Kazumi!"
As soon as Tanjiro called out, Kazumi stopped walking and then turned around woodenly.
Ryuji also walked in front of Kazumi. Kazumi looked at Ryuji and Tanjiro, who were dressed a little differently, and couldn't understand why they had stopped him.
"I'd like to ask you about something. Would it be convenient?"
"That, what is it? If you want to ask about something, I suggest you go to the mayor." Kazumi answered.
"I want to ask, the girl who was with you but suddenly disappeared, where did she disappear? Would it be convenient for you to take us there?" Ryuji directly stated what he wanted to ask.
Hearing Ryuji ask about this, Kazumi felt a pang of heartache. He asked back, "Why are you asking this?"
"We can help you find that girl."
Ryuji's words hit Kazumi's weak spot. Hearing this, Kazumi's heart trembled. This answer gave him no reason to refuse.
Although he thought Ryuji's words were a bit far-fetched, in this situation, he could only put his hope in Ryuji and Tanjiro. He was grasping at straws.
"Okay, follow me."
After speaking, Kazumi began to lead Ryuji and Tanjiro.
The women on both sides of the street, seeing Kazumi leave with two strangers, couldn't help but gossip again.
"Are those two kids telling the truth? They actually said they would help Kazumi find Satoko."
"Who knows? Maybe they're going to take Kazumi to a deserted place to rob him! Didn't you see the swords on their waists?"
Kazumi didn't pay attention to these whispers. He didn't want to argue with these women who only knew how to gossip.
Even if Ryuji and Tanjiro really just wanted to rob him of his money, Kazumi didn't care anymore. If that was the case, Kazumi was even thinking about letting Ryuji and Tanjiro kill him. After all, he didn't want to live anymore!
With all sorts of chaotic thoughts, Kazumi still led Ryuji and Tanjiro to where his fiancée, Satoko, had disappeared.
"This is the place. Satoko suddenly disappeared in this alley. Although you might not believe me." Kazumi stopped and said to Ryuji and Tanjiro.
"Since you brought us here, we naturally won't doubt your words." Ryuji answered calmly.
"Mr. Kazumi, we believe what you said." Tanjiro also replied to Kazumi.
