"Um?"
Shinobu Kocho keenly glanced towards the kitchen door, but Chinatsu had already pulled her head back, so Shinobu didn't notice Chinatsu's presence.
Now that the demons have been eliminated, Shinobu's obsession has also dissipated. Although she is sensitive, she doesn't think much of it and continues to enthusiastically brew her "century soup".
On the other hand, Chika leaned against the wall of the kitchen, her lips trembling slightly, the image of the bubbling purple soup constantly flashing through her mind.
"This... I should be able to drink it..." Chika muttered to herself with some uncertainty, and then she left Kocho Shinobu's residence with light steps.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, inside the lord's residence.
The lord exhaled a breath of air, his arm slightly aching as he swung it around, for he had finally completed the content of "Demon Slayer: Chapter Two." All that remained was to arrange for it to be printed and mass-produced before it could be published.
Seeing this, Tianyin kindly stepped forward and massaged her lord's sore arm.
"Although the curse on you has disappeared, your body is still much weaker than that of an ordinary person. You still need to take better care of your health," Tianyin said while squeezing her lord's arm.
Perhaps due to the aftereffects of being plagued by the curse for many years, or perhaps due to the side effects of forcibly taking a large number of supplements before the battle with Muzan, although the Lord's body is no longer cursed, he cannot be considered a healthy person.
The lord waved his other arm and replied with a smile, "The children are all working so hard, so I have to work hard too. Although history cannot be made public, it should not be buried either. This is what I should do."
The lord said that all he can do now, besides distributing money, is write with his own hands. Fortunately, the already released "Demon Slayer: Chapter 1" is very popular, which makes the lord feel that his efforts have not been in vain.
Just as the lord was about to get up from the cushion, the sound of footsteps, "tap! tap! tap!" came from outside the house.
"Father, Chika has come to visit."
The lord's son, Teruya Ubuyashiki, said this: "How could the lord not welcome Chinatsu when he heard that she was visiting?"
You know, Chika is his lucky star!
The lord greeted Chika with a smile. Although it seemed like a senior was treating a junior, the age difference between the two was not that great.
The Lord is now 24 years old, and Chika is 18 years old.
"There's still some time before the party starts, would you like to chat with me?" As the lord spoke, he took a steaming cup of tea from his son. Just as he was comfortably taking a sip, what Qianxia said next almost broke his composure.
Qianxia looked at her lord with a kind expression, but she slowly raised one of her hands and made a "money" gesture.
"My lord, although we are not greedy, as the saying goes, money isn't everything, but you can't do without it. Don't you think you should offer something in return?"
The lord's hands, holding the teacup, trembled slightly. He had thought that Chika had come to discuss some philosophical and profound topics with him, but he hadn't expected her to be so blunt.
But this is very Chika.
"Ahem, I haven't forgotten any of the heroes who fought against the demons. As for you, Chinatsu... I was originally going to give you this gift after the party."
The lord coughed awkwardly and then handed his newly completed book, "Demon Slayer: Chapter Two," to Chika.
Chika took the book with a suspicious look on her face. In fact, she had already read the first chapter of Demon Slayer written by her master. The content was not very similar to the original work, but it did have the style of the Demon Slayer Corps. Many of the characters could be found in the Demon Slayer Corps. It was an excellent book.
But what does this have to do with "gifts"?
Seeing Chika's puzzled expression, the lord smiled gently and told Chika to open the first page of the book.
Chika did as she was told and turned to the first page. After some searching, she finally found the "gift" that her master had mentioned in the author's section.
Author: Chika Kamado.
“I didn’t show favoritism to the other members either; I gave them all a considerable financial subsidy. But looking at you lying in bed, the thought of giving you a different gift flashed through my mind.”
This book records your story, and I've listed your name as the author. The royalties from this book will continue to flow into your name, Chika. What do you think of this gift?
The lord's actions undoubtedly boosted Chika's favorability towards him to the maximum.
However, Chika wasn't moved to tears. Instead, she looked at her lord, who was six years older than her, with the expression of a proud mother. It was as if she was about to say, "Ah~ you've really grown up~".
It's night, six o'clock.
Everyone, including the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, was gathered outside. This gathering was naturally not to be held indoors; an open-air party was the proper way to go.
The three groups that went out to buy ingredients and cook each carried their own delicious dishes to the wooden table outside.
The food that Mitsuri and Obanai encountered was very authentic. Mitsuri's plate was full of cherry blossom mochi, while Obanai's plate was full of different kinds of meat skewers.
Lamb, pork, chicken, beef...
Mitsuri: Sakura mochi with meat, unbeatable!
Tanjiro and Kanao then brought up the food that Chinatsu had prepared earlier. When Chinatsu smelled the familiar aromas, the anxiety she had been feeling finally subsided.
That's more like it! It's fine if the two of them can't cook, but they can definitely finish the dishes.
Just as Chika breathed a sigh of relief, Shinobu Kocho, carrying a large bowl of rich soup in both hands, walked over with a smile.
Chika suddenly turned around and looked at Shinobu Kocho, who was walking slowly towards her, with the century soup in her hands. Chika, who was usually fearless, suddenly felt a sense of fear.
When Shinobu Kocho placed this century's rich soup on the wooden table, everyone gathered around the enormous bowl. Under the expectant gazes of everyone except Chinatsu, Shinobu Kocho smiled and lifted the lid.
Others are the golden legends.
Shinobu Kocho is a purple legend!
Just like the golden light that appeared when Chika picked up the kitchen knife, this collective hallucination phenomenon reappeared, and everyone's vision was completely engulfed by a purple light...
