After traveling through Demon Slayer, is it possible to survive?

Chapter 133: Leisure Life after Retirement in Middle Age - To be revised

"......" I just looked at him without saying anything, and reached out to move the chess board.

It seems that not only I am becoming strange, he seems to be slowly becoming strange as well, although fundamentally, I don't even know who he is.

But I always feel like he and I have known each other for a long time, but I seem to have forgotten...

"In the end, you still replaced me. Your so-called envy has been satisfied, right? Then why did you come here to talk to me?"

Faced with my sudden question, An, who was originally immersed in his own world, pulled his thoughts back to his senses, looked at me, and raised the corners of his mouth after a moment.

"Replacement is always replacement, although it is short, it is also full of beauty. ... But what I want is not just replacement..."

After hearing his answer, my face suddenly became black. I still couldn't understand what he was saying, nor could I figure out what he meant.

He immediately said in dissatisfaction, "Can you explain it more clearly!" Then he pointed his finger at himself and said, "What do you think I am, a translator?"

In response to my questioning, An stretched out his finger and shook it, while playing chess.

"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time. Once I've told you everything I need to say, you'll understand everything I say."

I still looked at him in silence. I wanted to be angry, but I felt that would only make myself uncomfortable, so I just cursed him in my heart.

[“Fuck, there’s actually a mentally retarded soul living in my mind for hundreds of years... Could it be that the influence is because of him?”]

A few minutes later.

The chess game was becoming increasingly unfavorable to me. Although he was not much better, he acted calm and composed from the beginning, as if he had already defeated me.

Every move he made was in line with my plan, but at the critical moment he would find a breakthrough, putting me at a disadvantage. The situation gradually became stalemate, and now there were no more than ten pieces on the board for both sides.

After a few minutes, I lost.

"Come again." For some reason, a fire suddenly ignited in my heart, and my decadent expression became more serious.

An placed the chess pieces one by one. He did not choose to complete it instantly with his mind. He only spoke after he had completely placed them manually.

"So I go first in this round?"

Recalling that I was the first player in the previous round, and then he kept stalling me step by step, I immediately asked him to go first.

Hearing this, he remained calm and composed and made the first move.

"Oh, if it's just this, it's too monotonous. Let's take a look at this~"

An snapped his fingers, and a square screen suddenly unfolded on the side, playing pictures.

"I haven't seen him for so long. Do you have any feelings when you see him now?" An Shi smiled and pointed at the picture.

The person on the screen is Yoichi Tsugumi, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.

Judging from the appearance at that time, it should be the time when he accompanied Tanjiro to start the mission.

"What kind of feeling can there be... Excited? Happy?" I said with contempt in my eyes, and my expression was even more embarrassed.

An looked at me without saying anything, his expression still showing a faint smile. While playing chess, he used his consciousness to change the scene, and soon it switched to the time in the Swordsmith Village.

Wait, the picture above...I don’t seem to have any impression of it.

Looking at the picture above, my eyes suddenly shrank. Would I say such words to Tsugakugo Yuichi? Would I take off my clothes and pounce on him? And then...

At this moment, a flame of rage rose in my heart, even to the point of overwhelming my mind. I wished I could tear off his (Dark) neck, peel off his skin, pull out his tendons, break his bones, and hang him high in the air to let him bleed!

But at this moment, I don't know why I felt my brain go blank, and the anger slowly faded away.

"Do you feel anything?" An suddenly paused the screen and looked at me sideways.

"Yes, I wanted to kill you, but it will be over soon."

"You're so cold. I thought you would be angry enough to destroy this place." An said with a bored look, obviously dissatisfied with my reaction, but he spoke again quickly.

"You should be wondering why the "you" in the picture did something like that, but you didn't remember doing it."

I nodded but didn't say anything.

"Because at that time I replaced you for a short time, and I happened to experience something I had never experienced before. It's a pity that I didn't expect there was medicine at that time, otherwise I could have gone further." As he spoke, a silly smile suddenly appeared on An's face, a silly smile that came from being satisfied after falling into fantasy.

Looking at him, I felt like I was seeing a pervert, but for some reason, I felt empty inside.

It’s like... before you even finish something, someone else has already gotten it.

"By the way, you have been with him (Tsugikuni Yoriichi) for so long, do you have any special feelings for him?" Yami suddenly asked.

"Feeling? I don't know, but after being with him for such a long time, I vaguely have a feeling of wanting to get closer to him, which shouldn't exist." I answered subconsciously, but also very seriously. But the next moment I suddenly realized something and refuted fiercely: "What do you mean by being with him for so long? Who is with him?!"

Seeing the angry look of the person in front of him, An suddenly burst into laughter, even laughing to the point of tears. He wiped the tears away with his hand and said jokingly.

"We sleep in the same bed together, never out of sight of each other, do things together, chat together, and feed each other. It's just like the leisure life of a middle-aged retired couple."

"What do you mean by sleeping in the same bed? He doesn't allow me to sleep in a separate bed. Go and try if you can. See if he dares to nail you to the wall! And he can't keep his sight more than ten meters away. What can he do if he's afraid that I'll run away? What else can I do if I have something else to do? He won't let me stay more than ten meters away from his sight. This is not modern times. What else can I do if I don't chat! And try the food he cooks. He puts a spoonful of salt in the dishes, and he uses a soup spoon! A full spoonful!! If I hadn't been there at that time, he would have eaten himself to death!"
