DDDS: Chapter 78

To let Nezuko experience the city's prosperity, Tanjiro had already let her out of the {Kirikumo Cedar} box early on.

At this time, Tanjiro was holding Nezuko's hand, admiring the city's night view.

However, Nezuko didn't seem to have gotten enough rest. She kept her eyes closed.

After the initial shock, Tanjiro looked at Ryuji. Seeing that Ryuji looked calm, he asked curiously, "Senior Ryuji, why aren't you surprised at all? This is the first time I've come to such a prosperous city! Even at night, it's brightly lit. It feels even livelier than during the day."

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Once you've seen enough, you won't be surprised." Ryuji answered calmly.

Hearing this, Tanjiro thought that Ryuji had lived in the city before. He asked again, "So, Senior Ryuji, you used to live in a prosperous city like this?"

This time, Ryuji nodded and said, "Let's do another round of patrol, then we'll find somewhere to fill our stomachs."

Then, Ryuji and Tanjiro saw a noodle vendor with a pushcart under a streetlight on a secluded path. There were also some benches set up near the pushcart for customers to sit and eat noodles.

It should have been past the peak mealtime, so there were no customers eating noodles at the moment. Only the bald-headed boss was sitting on a bench, leisurely smoking his pipe.

Because the city was so big, Ryuji and Tanjiro had only patrolled a small part of it. Plus, the city was densely populated, so it was difficult for Tanjiro's nose to find the {demon}'s scent in the complex smells.

After searching without success, Ryuji and Tanjiro decided to eat something first and then continue searching tomorrow.

"Excuse me, we're interrupting you. Could you please give us two bowls of seafood udon?" Tanjiro said to the bald-headed boss with a tired expression.

"Ah, okay! Just a moment." The boss, who had come to his senses, immediately put away his pipe, stood up, and started preparing the udon for Tanjiro.

Ryuji, Tanjiro, and Nezuko sat down on a long bench.

As soon as they sat down, Nezuko couldn't help but lean against Tanjiro's shoulder. An exhausted smile appeared on Tanjiro's face.

"This is the first time I've been to a place like this. There are so many people! In the end, we didn't find any clues." Tanjiro's expression became serious again. He said calmly to Ryuji.

"The city is so big, and it's densely populated. The smells are easily covered up, so it's normal not to have any clues in a short period of time." Ryuji also responded to Tanjiro.

Soon, two bowls of steaming seafood udon were ready. The bald-headed boss placed them on the window of the pushcart.

"Your seafood udon is ready! Please enjoy." The bald-headed boss then called out to Ryuji and Tanjiro.

Then, Ryuji and Tanjiro picked up their bowls of udon, ready to enjoy a delicious meal.

At this time, Tanjiro's face suddenly changed. He dropped his bowl of udon to the ground.

Fortunately, Ryuji reacted quickly and instantly caught the bowl of udon that was about to fall.

"Tanjiro, what's wrong?" Ryuji asked hastily.

"I smell something." Tanjiro finished speaking and immediately ran towards the city center.
