Chapter 50 Yan Sheng's outrageous antics once again caught everyone off guard, resulting in a kiss...

While I was still confused by Yan Sheng's words, a memory brought to me by a shadow clone suddenly appeared in my mind.

Actually, I've received a lot of information from the shadow clones during this time, but I've ignored it since it's not useful to me. However, I can't ignore that memory from just now.

The Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and the Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, ran towards us one after the other. Although my shadow clone successfully lured away the Stone Pillar, the Wind Pillar stubbornly insisted on coming this way and was about to attack.

This is really troublesome! Brother Feng is quite difficult to deal with.

I was still frowning when Yan Sheng, who had been watching me closely, suddenly asked in a steady voice, "What's wrong? Song."

I said with a slightly troubled expression, "The wind pillar is coming soon."

Muichiro and Genya's eyes lit up when they learned that their companion/elder brother was about to arrive, but Iwakatsu's words immediately put them on guard.

"Don't worry, just kill them."

"This will only make you more worried!"

As I spoke, I hurriedly treated Muichiro, otherwise the unpredictable Kaze-ju would arrive soon, and the fight would greatly affect the treatment.

Especially since the Stone Pillar has already been lured away by my shadow clones, the Wind Pillar alone can't defeat Upper Moon One. I might even have to step in to save his life, so I need to heal Muichiro as soon as possible.

My treatment was quite fast; in no time, my son's arm was completely healed.

"Muichiro, your hand has been reattached. How about giving it a try?"

Even though I was quite confident in my medical ninjutsu, I still spoke with a tone full of expectation. The fourteen-year-old boy in front of me began to try to grasp and move his five fingers with his regained hand, and his handsome little face showed surprise.

"It seems everything is alright now, that's great!"

I clasped my hands together and said happily, while Muichiro stood up, gripped his Nichirin Blade with both hands, and aimed it at Iwakatsu. His eyes were wary and hesitant as he stared at Iwakatsu, looking very conflicted.

Perhaps it's a mother's instinct, but I immediately sensed what my son was struggling with. Muichiro must have begun to believe that Iwakatsu was his biological father, which is why he was starting to feel conflicted.

As a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, he and Upper Moon One were naturally mortal enemies. But suddenly, the other party became his biological father. Although he was seriously injured, the other party allowed the demon who was most likely his biological mother to heal him. This made the child, whose duty was to kill demons, unsure whether he should continue to fight his biological father to the death.

As expected, a biological father is different from an ancestor who is separated by countless generations! If it were Muichiro from the original story, he would have already rushed over and drawn his sword to fight.

Seeing Muichiro turn on him with a blade the moment his hand was healed, Iwakatsu turned to me and said, "I'm planning to turn him into a demon. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Muichiro and Genya tensed up and gripped their Nichirin Blades tightly. I frowned and disagreed, saying, "No way! Muichiro's future should be decided by himself! Whether he becomes a human or a demon is his freedom. As parents, we shouldn't interfere too much in our children's lives!"

My words plunged the two people and the ghost present into an eerie silence. Only then did I realize that I had directly brought up the serious and inhumane matter of becoming a ghost to the issue of children's education, which was somewhat out of character for the show "Battle of the Infinite City"!

Just then, the Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, arrived in a menacing manner. The atmosphere around him changed as soon as he entered, instantly becoming filled with murderous intent.

Even with Iwakatsu there, I suddenly felt immense pressure facing this pillar of wind, and I desperately wanted to leave this place and find Yoriichi.

Seeing that Shinazugawa Sanemi was about to charge at me with his Nichirin Blade in hand, I hurriedly shouted, "Wait! I don't want to be your enemy!"

The extremely annoying Wind Pillar didn't waste any words with me and immediately used Wind Breathing - Third Form: Sunny Breathing Tree, instantly unleashing three wind blades at me.

I quickly drew my Nichirin Blade to defend myself, but before I could even use Moon Breathing, Iwakatsu had already pulled me into his arms, drawn his sword, and used the Second Form, Juka Nyogetsu. As I turned around, I unleashed two wind blades with moon blades, directly clashing with his energy, causing the Wind Pillar to suffer a slight loss.

"Thanks to you." I said with a sigh of relief, realizing that I, with my extremely limited combat experience, was no match for Brother Feng, who had killed countless ghosts.

The tall, purple-clad warrior looked down at me. Even though his six eyes made his face look somewhat ferocious, his voice, as always calm and reserved, carried a hint of tenderness. "By my side, you will never need to draw your sword to fight off enemies."

Iwakatsu's promise-like words actually gave me a sense of peace and tranquility; that must have been an illusion.

Just as I was about to sheath my Nichirin Blade, Shinazugawa Sanemi saw the four characters for "Demon Slayer" on the blade in my hand and angrily shouted, "How do you have a Nichirin Blade?!"

His younger brother, Genya Shinazugawa, explained from the side, "Big brother, she's a senior member of the Demon Slayer Corps. She has no ill intentions towards us. She even saved Mr. Tokito before."

"No malice? Upper Moon One beside her is full of malice!"

The Wind Pillar glared at me with bloodshot eyes, his entire body radiating a surging fighting spirit. I couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling quite wary of this Wind Pillar.

This person has extremely rare blood, capable of making even ghosts who smell his scent completely intoxicated. I'm terrified that I might accidentally get dizzy and have my head chopped off!

At that moment, Muichiro firmly stood in front of me and said to the Wind Pillar, "Mr. Shinazugawa, I guarantee as the Mist Pillar that she is not an enemy. Please do not harm her again."

At that moment, I was so moved that I almost cried. You know, the guarantee in the Demon Slayer Corps is extremely precious. If you betray that trust, the guarantor has to commit seppuku to atone for it. Muichiro was using his own life to guarantee me!

I hugged the child from behind, deeply moved, and said, "Muichiro, Mommy is so happy! I never want to be separated from you again!"

Muichiro, whom I was holding, turned his head and looked at me with a cute, somewhat bewildered expression. Sanemi Shinazugawa, upon hearing my self-identification, was completely taken aback and shouted, "What did you say?! Who are you to him?!"

"I am Muichiro's mother. Thank you for taking care of Muichiro all this time."

Reluctantly letting go of my son, I formally thanked the Wind Pillar. After all, he was Muichiro's colleague, so I had to handle the situation properly.

Sanemi Shinazugawa looked at me in disbelief, then at Muichiro, and then shouted, "Forget it! I'll kill Upper Moon One first!"

Then, the boy Genya reminded his brother, "Big brother, Upper Moon One is Tokito's father."

"I don't have a cannibalistic father!"

Tokito Muichiro said this with considerable repulsion, but he looked at me with some unease, which made me realize that he was afraid that I was also a cannibalistic demon.

I immediately smiled gently at my son and said, "Muichiro, don't worry, Kokushi and I don't eat people! You'll see!"

To prevent my son from losing face in front of his colleagues, I put the blood from my finger that I had used to treat Muichiro into Iwakatsu's mouth, which immediately made him gag. The effect was quite remarkable.

"See? Yan Sheng can't even get his hands on human blood, let alone eat people, otherwise he'll keep gagging like this."

As I spoke, I gently patted Iwakatsu's back, who had lost all his energy due to gagging, hoping it would make him feel better. My actions earlier were quite excessive; even as friends, it crossed a line, but I had no choice but to do so to maintain a good working relationship with Muichiro.

See, the Wind Pillar saw that Upper Moon One was an oddball who couldn't eat people, and his murderous aura diminished considerably.

And Muichiro was also very happy to find that his parents didn't eat people, which was a great deal!

Although that's what I thought, Yan Sheng, whom I had persecuted, didn't seem to think so. After stopping gagging, he immediately gripped his sword, his whole body radiating a fierce killing intent. However, this killing intent wasn't directed at me, but at the Shinazugawa brothers.

Knowing that Yan Sheng wanted to kill the two brothers who saw his predicament, I quickly grabbed his hand holding the knife and said, "Don't do this! It's not shameful to not be able to eat people. Didn't you make the decision yourself? Why take it out on others?! At worst, I'll taste the blood too."

Upon hearing my words, Yan Sheng's murderous aura vanished instantly. He looked down at me expectantly and said in a deep voice, "You said it."

"Yes, I said it."

I nodded quite readily and reached out to lick the bloodstains on my palm, but Yan Sheng grabbed my wrist and leaned down to kiss my lips. I was stunned for a moment before I pushed him away forcefully, feeling like my head was about to explode.

I never dreamed that Kokusatsu would pull off such a bizarre move. He's supposed to be from the Sengoku period, but he's acting like a modern person! Didn't you see the Shinazugawa brothers looking like they'd just been fed expired dog food? They're utterly shameless!

Yan Sheng wasn't angry when I pushed him away; he even licked his lips as if he was savoring the moment. It made me want to scream like a groundhog, my character has completely collapsed! The majesty of Upper Moon One has been shattered to pieces!

Seeing Muichiro's big, thin, green eyes staring blankly at us, seemingly not understanding what had happened, I felt like crying. How could I let such an innocent child see such inappropriate scenes? I don't deserve to be a mother, and Iwakatsu doesn't deserve to be a father!

I'm completely devastated and all I want to do is leave this absurd world. Fortunately, because I've been with the World Foundation for hundreds of years, my connection with it is now inseparable. With the help of the horizontal and vertical spacetime axes, I can easily anchor the worlds and times I travel through. Forget about going back to Bungo Stray Dogs to find Yoriichi; I could even go straight back to Konoha to attend my brother's wedding.

Of course, I had no intention of going back before killing the Demon King. Only after Muzan died could I be completely free.

I used the World Foundation to cut my palm and dripped blood onto it. Before opening the time tunnel, I grabbed Iwakatsu with my left hand and Muichiro with my right, intending to take the two of them with me.

Otherwise, leaving Upper Moon One and the Mist Hashira in the Infinity Castle would be too worrying; if something were to happen to them, it would be too late to cry.

"I'm taking them to find Sun Breathing to slay the Demon King. We'll be back soon, see you in a bit!"

As I spoke to the Shinazugawa brothers, I pulled my son and his father into the time tunnel to return to the Bungo Stray Dogs world.

Since both Iwakatsu and I are demons, we can't appear in the sunlight. I even adjusted the time I entered the Bungo world so that it was after sunset, which can effectively avoid the very unfriendly thing for demons, like dying from exposure to sunlight.
