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

Chapter 9 Down and Out

We stared at each other for a while, until Xuanmi, who was hiding behind Shimi, grabbed his brother's clothes, stretched his head out and spoke to me slowly.

"Not far to the right... there is an inn."

Hearing this, I raised my eyes and spoke to Shimi with a provocative look.

"Look, look at how nice your brother is. Look at you, I just asked you something, but you act like you and I have some kind of irreconcilable hatred!"

"Asshole, what do you mean?"

I didn't wait for him to finish, I just spoke to him first.

"What have you decided to do next? Continue to stay here?"

When they finished saying this, I saw them lower their heads, pick the mud off their bodies with their hands, and their eyes were wandering.

In the original story, Shimi killed his mother in order to prevent her from becoming a ghost, but Xuanmi mistakenly thought that he had killed her. In the end, in order to protect Xuanmi, Shimi decided to go out hunting ghosts alone, and eventually abandoned Xuanmi and disappeared.

Later, during another ghost hunting operation, he met Kuangjin Ino. After Kuangjin's introduction, he learned the Breathing of Wind and became a formal ghost hunter.

"How about this, you lead the way for me, and I'll take you to a place worth stopping at."

I saw Shimi looked at me with disgust, as if he was thinking about something, then he looked at his younger brother Xuanmi, and finally agreed to my request.

......

“This one is here.”

I looked up at the inn. Just like the red and white rotating lampposts in front of the barber shop, there were rectangular white paper lanterns hanging under the eaves. The whole store was three stories high and had a simple appearance.

[“I’m a rich ghost after all, but I didn’t expect to live here. I’m so poor!”]

"Let's go in."

I held Xuan Mi with my left hand and Shi Mi with my right hand and carried him on my shoulder. No matter how much he struggled, I remained motionless and carried him inside.

At this time, there was a fat man with a lot of fat on his face and a greasy face. He looked like the boss here. When he saw us, he hurried over to us.

"you....."

He saw Shimi struggling on my shoulder and was about to rush out the door to call for help, but at this moment I stopped in front of him with a silver token.

The moment he saw the token, his panicked eyes slowly calmed down. He swallowed, let out a long sigh and said.

"So you belong to that master."

(That silver token was specially made by me. Since I am one of the richest people (ghosts), I naturally have a lot of funding. At least half of the places within a hundred miles were built because of my funding, so they trust me immensely.)

(The tokens come in gold, silver, and bronze, symbolizing A, B, and C, which are also different identities. I gave a gold token to Kokushibo, and another one... I don't know who or which ghosts I gave the rest to, and I hold a jade token myself.)

I took out a "small pan" (five taels of gold) and placed it on the table, and said to him.

"I am their older brother. I need to accommodate three people. I need a room with a bathroom. I need three meals a day. Bring up any snacks you have. Bring more autumn pancakes and watermelons."

When the boss saw what I took out, his eyes lit up and he said a lot of respectful words. After making sure everything was OK, he took me to the room I needed. After entering the room, I opened the window to block out all the light.

(In the Edo period, if you stayed in a hotel here, you could buy land within a hundred miles.)

By the way, I threw Shimi on a hard bench. As for Xuanmi, when he saw his brother being thrown aside by me, he immediately broke free from my hand and ran behind his brother.

I looked at the surrounding shape and environment and nodded. Although it was not very good, it was already pretty good. I sat on a rocking chair and looked at Shimi's angry look. His expression looked as if he wanted to kill me immediately. I looked at the two of them looking dirty and said to them.

"Take off your clothes, both of you!"

When Shimi heard what I said, he was a little confused, but after he came to his senses, he stood in front of his brother Xuanmi, his eyes full of hostility.

"What are you going to do?!"

Looking at his nervous look, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him and said.

"Wash yourself clean. You are covered in mud and there is blood on your face. What will others think of you?"

After I said this, they still didn't move and were still wary of me, but I didn't care. I picked them up one by one and threw them directly into the bathroom, pretending to be angry and speaking to them in a commanding tone.

"If you want to stay here peacefully, you must follow my instructions carefully, or I will kill you both right now!"
