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

Chapter 43 2 questions

"Can we join together?" Wuichiro's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it. I almost spit out the coffee that had just been handed to my mouth, and my eyes scanned the surroundings.

[“The opening scene has two pillars and a ghost king. Is this still a story of youth inspiration?”]

I looked at Tanjiro and Tsugakuni Yoriichi, and neither of them objected. Tanjiro might have thought that it would be more fun with more people, while Tsugakuni Yoriichi probably thought that one more or one less person was dispensable.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became weird at this moment.

Tanjiro ate his food in small bites, Nezuko took the bamboo tube out of her mouth and ate the konpeito on the plate with a smile on her face, and Yoriichi Tsugakuni ate the udon noodles placed in front of him. There was no extra talk, they just ate.

I picked up my book again and started reading. I quickly finished a cup of coffee and simply picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it while reading.

But the two brothers were not idle. They kept looking at me and sometimes opened their mouths but didn't say anything.

I simply put the book down, ate the last bit of the watermelon, looked at the two of them with a slightly serious expression, and said.

"If you have any questions, please tell me."

"Really?" Youzhilang was a little unconvinced. After all, the person in front of him was a ghost, and it was a ghost that he had been looking for for several years but had never found any trace.

"Yeah." Facing his doubt, I just confirmed it with one word, but I still made a little calculation in my mind, ["Anyway, I will answer the questions I can answer, and if I can't answer them, I can just find an excuse to get away with it~"]

Our conversation instantly caught the attention of Tanjiro and Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Except for Nezuko, the other two stopped what they were doing and looked at us straight.

"Okay, so the first question we want to know is..."

"Are you Muzan Kibutsuji?" The two said this in a firm tone and became alert, wanting to listen carefully and not miss any words I would answer next.

The ones who had the biggest reaction here were me and Tanjiro. I really didn't expect that he would come up with such a bomb right after he opened his mouth.

As for Tanjiro, he was curious at the beginning, but after hearing the question, his curiosity turned into confusion, excitement, and anger, until he finally began to show disbelief.

[“No, Mr. Bramiya is definitely not that kind of scum! He can’t be the bastard who wanted to kill my family at that time! The gentle Mr. Bramiya in front of me can’t be that kind of person.] Tanjiro has basically confirmed that the Bramiya Chijo in front of him can’t be that ghost, but doubts are slowly emerging in his mind. Why would the two people in front of him who are about the same age as him ask such questions?

I quickly suppressed my surprise, changed my mood to appear indifferent, put on an innocent look, and said.

"No, why are you asking this question?"

When the two brothers heard my answer, their tense nerves relaxed with a sigh. In fact, they had already expected the answer in their hearts. Muzan Kibutsuji is the Demon King and the beginning of the chaos in this world. How could he possibly save people?

"Indeed, maybe I am...too sensitive." Muichiro scratched his head awkwardly. This question was something he came up with himself. The friendly atmosphere was disrupted by his own question. He stood up and bowed in my direction. "I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question."

Hearing all this, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't smell any sign of lying from the smell he smelled, which meant that I was telling the truth. So his heart was relieved at this moment, but he didn't notice that there was a thin red light covering his nasal cavity.

Facing his apology, I nodded to accept it and motioned for him to sit down. In the eyes of everyone, every move I made was full of tenderness.

But after he sat down, I added to my previous answer, "Even if I were him, I wouldn't dare get so close to him (Tsugokuni Yoriichi), and there's no reason to save him."

Faced with my additional answer, the two of them didn't think much about it. After all, they didn't want to change something that had already been confirmed, not at all.

As for the second question, it was Youichiro who stared at me for a while, and after a while, he opened his mouth and spoke.

"When we were in the team, we chatted with Feng Zhu and he told us about you, so we were very curious. The place where Feng Zhu died as a child was a civilian area, so it was easy to find him after he caused a commotion. It can be said that he was acting bravely. But the place where we were at that time was a remote and uninhabited area. It is impossible that you met him while taking a walk."

Yuichiro's words were decisive. Although he didn't explain all the details, it was not difficult to guess what he meant.

The two Busuigawa brothers might have been rescued by accident, but it was different for the two Tokito brothers. Their houses were at least several kilometers away from the town, so no matter how loud the noise was, it would not be heard in the town.

And this is exactly where the suspicious point lies. The distance between them was very far, but they suddenly appeared within a few dozen minutes before their deaths, killed their own kind, healed the wounds of strangers, and when they left, they took off their clothes and covered the two people with them for fear that they would catch a cold.

"If there is no purpose, how could one do something meaningless and without gaining any benefit or interest?" Judging from Wuichiro's condition, he also wanted to know why this was the case.

I looked at the two people with serious faces and sighed again. These two guys asked very sharp questions. I had to find a better excuse. I closed my eyes and was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke.

"My friend, a friend wanted me to help him. I can't tell you who it is, so saving you is half an agreement and half is my own." I suddenly stopped answering, lowered my head in thought, pretending to be affectionate, but then changed to a teasing tone, "Maybe I was moved by the true feelings of you two brothers." (?っ ? ?????)

Ichiro looked a little embarrassed when he heard the answer. After all, he was very kind to Muichiro from the beginning [Author: I don't want to write, so go read the comics]. Even if he was pretending to be kind to protect his brother, he finally realized that his brother's talent seemed too great. Since he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, few demons could hurt him.

"So that's how it is... I'm sorry, our question once again misunderstood you in a bad light." Yuichiro and Muichiro stood up, bowed, and made sincere apologies. After all, this kind of question treats others as people who act for their own benefit.

The following ones are all minor problems, not as overwhelming as the previous two.

From the beginning of the question until now, Jiguo Yuanyi's eyes have been fixed on Mo Yunchuan. Sometimes he lowered his head in thought, sometimes he looked indifferent, but sometimes he would look at him with a special look.

After answering all the questions, I relaxed and almost finished my food. I had already eaten two slices of watermelon, and it would be a bit greasy if I ate any more.

I looked at Nezuko, who had a plate of candies in front of her. She put them into her mouth one by one and chewed them. She had become a ghost, and her taste buds only reacted to flesh and blood. I wondered why she still liked to eat premium candies?

I reached out and touched Nezuko's head, and the smile on my face became even wider. Nezuko didn't react at all, but instead looked very happy.

A bit like a cat...

I tried tickling her chin with my fingers, and Nezuko's reaction was exactly the same as that of a cat. She smiled like a cat, looking like she enjoyed it, and made a humming sound in her throat.

After playing for a few times, I stopped, touched her face with a smile, and then withdrew my hand.

Just as I withdrew my hand, Nezuko suddenly pushed the plate of Konpeito towards me, as if she wanted to share it with me.

I didn't refuse. Looking at the Konpeito, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have never eaten it before. Anyway, I just knew that it was sweet.

I reached out and took a piece of candy and put it in my mouth. It was sweet, a little sour and delicious.

But I don’t like sweets, and I don’t know why. In short, I seldom eat sweet things.

Except for drinks, of course.

After I picked up another one, I waved to Nezuko and said that the candy was delicious, but I had eaten enough now.

Seeing this, Nezuko stopped pushing the plate towards me and moved her stool away from her brother. She leaned towards me, lay on the table, picked up the konpeito one by one and ate them, still with a smile on her face.

Tanjiro watched his sister move away from him and approach the boy. He did not feel lost as he had expected. Instead, he was very excited. He thought to himself that his sister seemed to have a friend, even though she was also a ghost.

But so what. Tanjiro thought to himself that if his sister hadn't turned into a demon, she would probably have a lot of friends in the future...now...

As Ji Guoyuan looked at this heartwarming scene, the look in his eyes softened a lot. Although there was no smile on his face, people could tell that he was smiling.

After a while we walked out of the restaurant, and our group attracted countless people's attention as we walked on the street.

I dare to ask who doesn’t like to look at good-looking people, and there were so many of them. If the police hadn’t come to disperse the crowd, all vehicles on this street would have been stopped.

[“By the way, Tamayo should be here, right? Do you want to catch up on the plot?”]

[“…Forget it. I’ll just find a way to take Tanjiro there later. Leading her out in front of this man-made disaster will always have bad consequences…”]

Just when I interrupted this thought and was about to do so, I felt something rubbing at the corner of my pants, and made a slight meowing sound.

I turned around and looked down, only to see a large white cat scratching my trouser legs with its front paws.

I squatted down and picked up the cat. I have to say that this cat is really fat. Jiguo Yuanyi also looked closer, and when he saw that it was a cat, he showed a kind look to the cat, but I don’t know why, his kind look to me was a look that wanted to eat the cat.

"Why does he look so familiar... Could it be... Yuanbao?"

I called the cat's name in a puzzled tone, and the cat immediately opened its mouth and started calling to me when it heard it.

"It's really you! Why are you here~"

My voice immediately attracted the attention of the two brothers Tanjiro and Tokito, and they instantly looked at the cat in my hand.

After I recognized her, I immediately held her in my arms. The touch was so soft. I haven't touched a cat since I watched Tanjiro's trial at Fujiyama. This time I felt good, but I also thought of something in an instant.

[“No, I gave Yuanbao to Zhushi to take care of a year ago. Yuanbao is here, so…”]

I guess I had made up my mind. I looked around and saw a woman wearing a kimono with floral patterns embroidered on it.

When my eyes fell on her, she also noticed me and our eyes met. In an instant, her originally calm expression turned into a smile and she slowly walked towards me.

This is really awesome! This thing even adds plot points!
