Chapter Two
The group scrambled around, but finally managed to coax the person away, and the meeting was barely completed.
Throughout the entire meeting, only one thing stood out—
Tanjiro Kamado, a boy trained by Master Urokodaki, and his sister Nezuko Kamado, who is a demon.
Everything else remains the same.
Sanemi always hated demons with a passion, and every time Nezuko Kamado was mentioned, he would jump up and down, shouting that demons were inhuman and had to be killed.
This time, however, he seemed to have lost his temper and remained silent throughout the meeting. As soon as it ended, he vanished in a flash.
When Sanemi returned to the Butterfly Mansion, Chinatsu was huddled under the cabinet, sobbing uncontrollably.
The people from the Butterfly Mansion stood by anxiously, not knowing what to do. When they saw Sanemi rushing over and Shinobu Kocho watching the show, they all rushed forward and started chattering.
"Lord Shinazugawa, you've finally arrived. Chika has refused to eat anything and just keeps hiding down there calling your name."
"Lady Shinobu Kocho, look at her!"
Kanzaki Aoi was so angry she wanted to hit someone, because this white rabbit was seriously affecting the operation of the entire Butterfly Mansion.
Sanemi was so angry he wanted to hit someone too. He rolled up his sleeves, kicked the cabinet, and yelled fiercely, "Get out here!"
He wanted to teach her a lesson, at least to let her know that barging in during meetings was not allowed.
"don't want!"
Chika's youthful voice came from under the cabinet.
"You don't want me anymore, so why do you still care about me! You liar! You promised to take me to find my brother, and you told me I couldn't leave your sight for a second, you liar! You big liar!"
Sanemi was furious, feeling like he'd lost his mind. "What was wrong with me? Why did I carry this guy back to the Butterfly Mansion?"
Shinobu Kocho laughed heartily from the side, "Mr. Iguro said that you lost yourself in calling him 'brother' over and over again."
Sanemi pinched the bridge of his nose, his head throbbing with pain.
If he lived in Chika's world, he would know that there is a professional term for this practice.
It is called—
PUA, or praise to death.
"Come out, don't make me say it a second time!"
His voice was as cold as ice, and everyone present couldn't help but take two steps back.
Chika, on the other hand, hid even further inside, leaving only her round, fluffy tail. Curled up into a white ball, she looked just like a rabbit about to dig a hole in the wall.
The rabbit hugged its knees, squatted on the ground, and turned its head to reveal a pair of wet eyes.
"You said you would help me find my brother, and adults can't go back on their word."
Sanemi took a deep breath, recalling what Ubuyashiki had just said, "This child is very talented. He doesn't have any breathing techniques, yet he can keep all four of the hidden beings from catching him."
“Sanemi, teach her well, she will become one of us.”
Chika could sense his hesitation, and since he was hesitant, it meant there was still a possibility.
She shuffled around under the cabinet, reaching out her little hand towards Sanemi.
"Do you want me? Will you take me with you? I'm very easy to take care of; I can survive on grass."
The girl's eyes were beautiful, more beautiful than the eyes of any other child in the world, like dazzling glass gems that softened one's heart.
The outstretched little hand looked as tender as tofu, clearly indicating that the child had been well cared for by her family.
"Tsk!"
Sanemi couldn't help but want to curse. He turned around and strode away. He really didn't understand why he was the only one who got entangled with Obanai Iguro.
Qianxia's face instantly fell. She didn't understand. She was already so pitiful, so why was he still unmoved? Sigh, why is it so hard to find a free meal ticket?
As Sanemi stepped out of the door, he turned his head to look inside. The girl had her head down, and her curly bangs fell across her cheeks, obscuring all her emotions.
But the tears in her eyes could not be hidden, dripping onto the ground, and her hands, clutching the hem of her clothes, turned white and bluish.
It's heartbreaking to see!
"Hurry up and follow me!"
In front of everyone, Sanemi shouted in frustration.
Chika lowered her head, her red lips slightly pursed, and from an angle unnoticed by anyone, a sly smile slowly crept onto her face.
Her expression softened instantly when she looked up again, and her bright eyes were filled with surprise. "Brother! Wait for me!"
That "brother" was so sweet that anyone with a younger sister couldn't resist it.
Shinobu Kocho cupped her face and let out a long sigh, "How wonderful~" There's a high chance the little rabbit will become Sanemi's stepson.
She glanced leisurely at Kanao to one side, then sighed again.
When will Kanao become this lively?
......
Inside the Shinazugawa mansion, Chinatsu and Sanemi sat at opposite ends of a table, Chinatsu holding a pen as if facing a formidable enemy.
"I said write it, did you hear me!" Sanemi crossed his arms, his face cold and fierce.
Wearing rabbit ears, Chika blinked her big eyes and nodded heavily, but inwardly she snorted coldly. This thing doesn't have any Nen ability to restrain it, so writing it is probably just for show.
Sanemi knew perfectly well that this wouldn't be very effective, but it was still better than doing nothing and letting her cause trouble everywhere.
"First, you are not allowed to cry at night, you are not allowed to run around, and you are absolutely not allowed to barge into...the meeting."
Chika held the pen and carefully wrote in Hunter's Language on the paper: 1. No crying at night, no running around, and no disturbing the meeting.
Seeing her obedient appearance, Sanemi's expression softened a bit. "She looks like a ghost; it's not good to scare people."
"Secondly, no one is allowed to be idle in the family. You are responsible for washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning."
Sanemi's eyes were cold. "Can you do these things?"
Chika shook her head without even thinking.
Even if you say you can, you'll say you can't; otherwise, you'll be treated like a babysitter.
"Tsk! If you don't know how, you have to learn. You absolutely have to know these things. No one can take care of you forever. If you can't do it, get out, you hear me?"
Sanemi felt like dying; he knew he had left behind a troublesome ancestor.
Chika pouted, tears streaming down her face, but her hand obediently wrote on the paper: Second, I need to do laundry, cook, and clean.
"Third, starting today, you will train with me and become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."
Chika exclaimed "Ah!" and looked up at him.
No, we still need to train?
"What do you mean, 'ah'?"
Sanemi tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his eyes looking down at her. "Until we find your brother, you have to support yourself. You can't do this or that. How are you going to survive?"
"oh!"
Damn! Chika suddenly felt like she was being manipulated in reverse. Babysitting, training, and now she had to become a team member?!
Damn it! I'll put up with it for the sake of making a living!
Chika held the pen and wrote normally on the paper, "Training to become a Demon Slayer Corps member."
More and more treaties followed, and Chika was so angry she was about to explode, but she silently endured it because of her situation.
And in his heart he chanted frantically: "Three days east of the river, three days west of the river; a woman's revenge is never too late, even in ten days."
After writing a long and detailed piece of paper, Qianxia's arm was sore.
"Anything else?" She shook her slightly stiff shoulders and whispered, "No, I'll sign then."
Sanemi frowned, his eyes scanning her up and down with disdain. "Well, that's all for now."
"Come run with me first thing tomorrow morning. Go wash up now and get ready for bed. I've already boiled the water for you. Wear my old clothes for now, and I'll take you to buy new ones tomorrow."
Chika said "Oh," signed her name, and got up to walk towards the bathroom.
The moment she turned around, her little mouth curled into a smirk. This person may have a fierce mouth, but she's really thoughtful.
Food, lodging, and even a job and tutoring are all included. No wonder I chose this person. As for housework, well, I'm not bragging, but no one has ever managed to get me to do that before.
Sanemi watched the little guy's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh. His lord had used all his resources, but he still couldn't find a single living person named Chizuru.
The child's older brother, with whom he depended on each other for survival, is probably in grave danger.
Forget it, forget it. I'll just consider myself unlucky and raise him as my stepson for now. At least he has some talent. I'll just consider it a contribution to the army and a way to cultivate talent.
He picked up the paper covered in writing from the table, and the fire that had just been extinguished instantly burst into flames three feet high. "Chika!"
In the bathtub, Chinatsu was lying comfortably on her back in the warm water. The perfect temperature made all her pores feel relaxed. "Ah~ this feels so good."
With a loud "bang!", the bathroom door was slammed and shook violently.
A murderous glint flashed in Qianxia's eyes. She quickly grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around herself, while her other hand crackled with blue electricity.
She vowed that whoever dared to break in would suffer a fate worse than death!
It was at this time that she began to doubt her decision.
All of these things, all of these choices, are based on the premise that he is truly an honest person on the surface.
If he wasn't...
snort! !
Sanemi, who was standing at the door holding a piece of paper with scribbled ghost symbols, suddenly shivered. For some reason, he felt a chill on his body, but he couldn't smell any ghostly aura around him.
"Get out here after you've finished showering!" He put his hands on his hips and knocked on the door. "Did you hear me?"
After saying that, he turned and left, thinking he should check the surrounding area just in case. It wouldn't be good if there were any evil spirits.
As the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, the electricity in Qianxia's hand dissipated. She was a little confused about what was wrong with this person's temper, so she quickly rubbed her hands together and left.
After taking a shower, Chika was still wearing her fluffy clothes, her bare feet scratching the floor helplessly.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" She sat cross-legged on the table obediently, while her eyes kept glancing at the pot out of the corner of her eye.
Food! Dinner!
"What are these words you wrote?" Sanemi held the paper in his hand, his face contorted with rage. "Can you even read what you wrote?"
Chika scratched her forehead, suddenly realizing, oh dear, the languages of the two worlds are not interchangeable.
“This is the word we use in my hometown,” she blinked her innocent big eyes, “I can read it to you from beginning to end.”
After she finished speaking, she read it aloud from beginning to end, and every sentence was correct without any mistakes.
When it comes to words, Sanemi really had no idea. Looking at the little kid's terrified expression, his anger towards the demon suddenly surged even higher.
