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

Chapter 14 Butterfly Kanae

A few years later.

I saw the butterfly Kanae. It was drizzling at the moment, and sometimes I could see faint flashes of lightning. But I was not there. I saw it from Kokushibo's perspective.

But this perspective gives me the feeling of "lying down".

“Pfft…Hahahaha!

I really didn't expect that Kokushibo would be willing to lie on the ground so that I could see from a better perspective.

I couldn't help but laugh like a pig. I was sitting in the Infinite Castle and playing with the cat. Suddenly, Kokushibo conveyed information to me through my brain. After I understood it, I turned on the shared vision and saw this scene.

I paused, stopped smiling, and carefully observed Kocho Kanae through Kokushibo's perspective.

He has black hair and purple eyes, and wears emerald green butterfly hairpins with pink edges on both sides of his hair. He is wearing a standard Demon Slayer Corps uniform with gold buttons on the chest and a colorful butterfly pattern haori draped over the outside.

In the original description of her, she is a gentle and kind person with a constant smile on her face.

But at this moment there was no smile on her face, and her body was covered in blood and many wounds.

"Vampire Art·Winter Icicle!"

It was Douma's voice. Although we were sharing vision, the voice could also be shared, so I could hear it clearly.

Douma cut his wrist and froze the flowing blood into mist-like "ice crystals" that scattered on the surface of the iron fan, and gently waved the iron fan in his hand with one hand.

In an instant, many sharp icicles containing blood poison appeared above Kanae's head and fell from a great height.

"Flower Breathing·Sixth Form·Uzumaki."

Kanae waved the Sun Blade in her hand, used sword skills, flipped sideways in mid-air, and made a horizontal slash. Flower petals fell wherever the Sun Blade passed, and the slash and the petals together shattered nearly half of the icicles falling from the sky.

As for the remaining icicles, some fell in the direction where Kanae landed after using sword skills.

As she had no time to dodge, she could only move back a few steps as far as she could to avoid it, but an icicle still pierced her left shoulder, and the surface of the wound was frozen due to the poisoning.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Didn't that bastard Douma say he liked her? Why did he do that to her? It's like they were meeting enemies!"

[“Sir, do you want to…?”]

Kokushibo's voice came from my brain, the tone remained unchanged, and he looked the same as always.

【“No need, I want to go by myself.”】

I stopped petting the cat and looked towards the upper right corner. Through the walls, I saw Mingnu sitting on an empty table with a pipa in her hand.

"Blood Demon Technique: Blood Shadow Clone!"

This blood magic was originally only able to divide into ten, but after nearly a hundred years of practice, it can now be divided into thirty.

This time I only separated one, not because I am arrogant, but because I have enough confidence to save Kanae Kocho from Douma!

I changed the face of my clone into one that no one had ever seen, but the blood-red pupils could not be changed.

After thinking for a moment, he had to wrap a white bandage around his eyes to cover them. He wore the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps and a haori embroidered with red red spider lilies as his outer garment.

(The Demon Slayer Corps' uniforms were obtained from the Demon Slayer Corps, but how they got them... I don't know.)

" ? !"

Mingnu pressed the strings with her fingers, plucked them lightly, and used her unique blood demon technique to teleport the clone I controlled to their location.

At this moment, Kanae Kocho felt the injury on her left arm and adjusted her breathing at an extremely fast speed, trying her best to minimize the pain, while her eyes never left Douma.

Douma looked at Kanae in front of him, with the same sly expression on his face as usual, and smiled.

"Why don't you accept it? Why don't you want to become a ghost? If you become a ghost, we can be together forever..."

Kanae did not answer, but held the hilt of the knife tightly in her right hand.

When Douma saw her action, his smiling face immediately fell, replaced by a cold and ruthless face, and he spoke in an emotionless tone.

"Tsk... As expected, you...can't replace her."

I thought her gentleness was enough to replace the woman who had always been in Douma's mind, but it turned out to be a pipe dream.

How could there be the same people in the world...

Even those who believe that ghosts can coexist can't reach Qinye's special gentleness. ...It may also be because that girl is smart, and she...is a little stupid...

"Blood vampire magic..."

And Kanae knew that she would not be able to retreat unscathed, and when she was ready to fight to the death, a snow-white and slender hand pressed down her arm! "

Kanae turned her head and looked behind her, only to see a "person" wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform with his eyes covered by a white cloth.

[“It’s a ghost! Why couldn’t I sense his presence at that moment?]

Just when he was wondering, the ghost's hand that was holding his arm suddenly glowed red, and instantly the red light enveloped his entire body.

Kanae wanted to escape, but her hands were held firmly down and she couldn't move. She felt that she was doomed to die.

Suddenly he realized that the red light did not hurt him. Instead, the wounds on his body were healing, and the poison in his left arm began to slowly dissipate.

Douma looked at the ghost in front of him that suddenly disturbed him, and suddenly became interested and spoke.

"Why bother us, Fugitive!"

(Fugitive is a title for ghosts that escape from my control!)

Hearing this, I released my hand that was holding Kanae, but the red light did not dissipate but remained around Kanae.

I slowly walked towards Douma, a mysterious smile appeared on my face, and pointed a finger at Kanae behind me and said.

"Mr. Douma, I want her!"

"Who are you)?"

Before he could finish his words, I stretched out my right hand and tore half of Douma's body apart without him noticing!

"!!?"

Kanae looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, and she didn't even see clearly when I made the move.

[“Who is he? Is he the Upper Rank One?]

(Kuroshibo: ......)

Kokushibo, who was observing from a distance, watched my appearance and the entire process of my attack on Douma carefully.

[“Master Muzan… is very strong.]

I looked at Douma who was recovering quickly in front of me, and spoke again, but my tone was filled with undisguised malice.

"The next crack will be on your neck!"

"Ah, my Lord, please at least let me make myself clear before you attack. This is very rude."

The boy wiped the blood off his body, looked at me with his colorful eyes, waved the opened golden iron fan in his hand, and said with a harmless smile on his face.

"It's fun to fight against strong people other than Lord Kokushibo and Lord Muzan~"

I looked at Douma calmly, then looked up at the sky. It was almost dawn, so I spoke to him.

"It's getting light. Do you want to die here with me for this human, Lord Douma?"

I knew that this simple sentence would definitely not make Douma give up the idea of ​​taking Kanae away. I stretched out my bloody right hand and spoke to him in a serious tone.

"Or, can you defeat me and take this girl away before the sun rises?"

At this moment, Douma also realized that it was almost dawn, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat me in a short time. He seemed to be unwilling to say so to me.

"Could you tell me your name, sir?"

Seeing that he had given up the idea, I took out a handkerchief, wiped my bloody right hand, and said to him.

"I have no name or surname. If I really want to call it that, I'd just call it 'Traveler'!"

Douma inserted his fingers into my brain and stirred it, trying to carve my name deeply into it, with anger in his eyes.

"I'll remember this!"

After saying this, he put away the iron fan and left quickly.

I looked at the time it would take for the light to reach here, and spoke through my brain to Kokushibo who was observing from a distance.

[“You can go back now. You completed the mission very well. You will be rewarded.”]

Kokushibo had already left when he heard the first half of my sentence, but when he heard the second half, his body suddenly shook.

Kokushibo: ["Master Muzan said there is a reward... a reward..."]

"Give him the reward..."

..........

I walked towards Chanae and saw that her body had recovered, so I retracted the red light. Chanae looked at me in front of her and was about to ask something, but she felt weak all over and fainted on the ground.

That blood magic can heal wounds, but it won't restore physical strength. When I squatted down and was about to observe if she had any wounds, a long and thin knife blocked me!

[Hmm? Kocho Shinobu's sword? ...Yes! How could I have forgotten about Kocho Shinobu? If I had known, I would have left just now!]

I took a few steps back. Shinobu Kocho squatted down and wanted to observe her sister Kanae. When she saw that I didn't move, she nervously observed Kanae's injuries.

But seeing Kanae, who was covered in blood and whose uniform was damaged but had no wounds, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at me, gripped the Nichirin Sword tightly, posed, and said.

"Mo Yunchuan! Why are you here?!"

[“??? How did he recognize me?”]

I definitely couldn't admit that I had been guessed, so I adjusted my tone slightly and said it in a puzzled tone.

"Who is Mo......"

"Don't lie! Even if your appearance has changed, your smell remains the same!

Shinobu Kocho interrupted me immediately and told me the reason why she knew me.

[“Smell? The smell of the two brothers back then?”

I was stunned when I thought of this, but I reacted in an instant.

[Ah.....my brain is not working well now, how could I have forgotten this!]

"Okay, I admit it, but I wasn't the one who hurt your sister, and her original injuries were healed by me. You can ask her when she wakes up. Bye!"

I finished saying these words in less than three seconds and left quickly, because if I didn't leave now the sunlight would shine here, and I would really die. But I said to Shinobu Kocho as I left.

"Ms. Shinobu Kocho, learn more from your sister in the future. You have a bit of a bad temper."

Shinobu Kocho looked at my receding figure, sheathed the Sun Wheel in her hand, came to her sister, and thought about the last words I said to her.

"Study sister? What...do you mean?"
