Chapter 93 Chapter 93 "Idiot."
93
The next day, the sun shone brightly on the earth, and the stream in the yard flowed quickly.
Li Xiaoqi was sitting on a rock beside the bridge, shaking his legs impatiently.
Dazai Osamu lay on the grass, looking depressed.
“Oh no, that’s terrible…”
"Yeah, it can't be any worse."
The sparrow landed on the grass, picked up the plump white insects accurately and swallowed them.
It tilted its head and stared at Li Xiaoqi curiously, but did not fly away immediately.
Seeing this, Dazai Osamu reached out and gently touched the sparrow's back. "As expected of a land of Umayashiki, even the sparrows aren't afraid of humans anymore."
"Ah, really?"
Li Xiaoqi's forehead twitched, and his expression became even more impatient.
Dazai Osamu sighed incomprehensibly and said, "Xiao Qi, I remember there's a metaphysical saying in China that shaking your legs will cause you to lose money..."
Li Xiaoqi immediately stopped his trembling legs and slapped his thigh in annoyance.
"How do you know?"
Dazai Osamu spread out his five fingers, watching the sunlight filter through them and fall onto his face. "A friend told me this."
Li Xiaoqi teased: "Do you have any Chinese friends?"
Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and looked at Li Xiaoqi. In his eyes, he saw Li Xiaoqi bathed in sunlight.
"Yes."
Li Xiaoqi: "Okay."
Dazai Osamu was stunned and smiled helplessly: "Idiot."
Li Xiaoqi was furious and retorted, "Who are you talking about?"
Dazai Osamu sat up, extended his right fist, and knocked her head. "It's been so long, and you still haven't realized it. Take your time to figure it out."
Li Xiaoqi covered his forehead and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Hey! What on earth are you keeping in suspense——"
Dazai Osamu lay back, closed his eyes, and returned to his listless state.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Xiaoqi was annoyed and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Just like that, the two returned to their original low-pressure state.
At this moment, a shocking sound was heard from the house.
"These things happened last night?!"
"H-huh?--Pfft."
"Kibutsuji deserves it!"
"What?! Hashira training??"
"Teach the team members how to use the new muskets—?"
"Ms. Nana went undercover for Muzan Kibutsuji?"
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? How can I be an undercover agent? Do I have to turn into a ghost?"
"Ms. Nana said that she has a tool that can turn her into a non-human demon and can also turn back into a human. After turning into a demon, she won't have a blood connection with Muzan Kibutsuji and won't have a head. The information about the Demon Slayer Corps... It's just a pity that this method of turning back into a human doesn't work for Nezuko."
Li Xiaoqi smacked his lips, picked up a small stone and threw it into the water.
Last night, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu discussed for a long time with the lord and his wife. Combining their own tasks, they used the excuse that there was elemental power to be collected in the Infinite City, the residence of the Ghost King Muzan, and proposed a plan to go to the Infinite City to collect information on the enemy's capabilities.
In order to complete the mission, Dazai Osamu also took the opportunity to say that he would teach the members of the Demon Slayer Corps how to use thermal weapons. All they had to do was to improve the thermal weapons into materials specifically for use against demons.
When Ubuyashiki Yoya heard this, he immediately agreed. His expression brightened up a lot, and he repeatedly confirmed with worry for a long time whether it would endanger the lives of the two.
With Li Xiaoqi's assurance, Ubuyashiki Yoya finally felt relieved.
The door was opened, and the pillars came out one after another, each with a look of surprise on their face.
They were called back temporarily to hold a meeting. The lord said that there was something important to discuss, but they didn't expect to hear such an... unexpected thing.
The core members of this plan, Mr. Dazai and Ms. Nana, were completely lifeless and emitting a dark aura in the yard.
"Miss Nana and the others are okay...?"
Mitsuri Kanroji asked with a worried look on her face.
"Hmm!"
Rengoku Kyojuro frowned slightly and thought seriously, "Could it be because he's too nervous about having to get so close to Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes lit up, and she looked at Rengoku Kyojuro and said, "Mr. Rengoku! Let's make sweet potato rice for Mr. Dazai and Miss Nana. They will definitely feel better after eating it."
Rengoku Kyojuro gave a thumbs up and said, "That's a good idea. Shall we do it now?"
Mitsuri Kanroji rolled up her sleeves, clenched her fists and said excitedly, "Let's go!"
Iguro Obana pursed her lips, looked at their departing backs, and lowered her eyes to hide her envious look.
"As expected of someone from another world, they easily proposed going undercover in the demon's base. I really admire them."
He commented as he leaned against a pillar and crossed his arms.
Fuzukawa Shima was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Well... well, there's probably nothing they can't do."
He recalled what happened last night and looked at Li Xiaoqi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a conflicted look on his face.
"I'm glad they're on the human side, providing advanced weapons and teaching the Demon Slayer Corps how to use them."
Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and tears welled up in his eyes.
He spoke with emotion, listening carefully to every movement.
"Ms. Nana is a kind woman, Mr. Dazai...it probably depends on Ms. Nana's stance."
Shinobu Kocho was stunned and a little surprised.
"Ms. Nana took the most dangerous mission, and Mr. Dazai stayed in the Demon Slayer Corps. To be selfish, I think this arrangement is just right."
Beiming Island Xingming added.
"Just right... Indeed, that's the right word."
Iguro Obanai murmured, and the figure of Dazai Osamu was reflected in his eyes.
He scoffed, "Indeed, it's impossible to tell what that man is thinking... Sometimes he carries the aura of a beast crawling in the darkness. He's so dangerous."
"If Mr. Dazai were to undertake a spy mission as part of this proposal, I also believe we could be betrayed at any time."
Beimingyu Xingming nodded, "That's right. It's precisely because of this arrangement that we find them trustworthy."
"But the lord seems to have an unusual trust in them."
Shinobu Kocho's purple eyes held a smile, and her fingertips began to tremble slightly.
Tengen Uzui was stunned, his eyes swept over Shinobu Kocho's clenched fists, and then he hooked his hands around Minami Uzui's neck.
He said in a teasing tone, "Why are you staring at Miss Nana?"
Tomioka Giyu looked over and blinked slowly.
Fuzukawa Miya's forehead jumped up, and he waved away Uzui Tengen's hand like a madman, "Nothing!"
He jumped down the corridor and stepped into the yard to leave.
stare--
Giyu Tomioka looked at Minami-sama Busou's back without moving.
Fuzukawa Shima stopped and turned around and said angrily: "Tomioka, do you want to fight——"
Tomioka Giyu shook his head with a cold expression, "No...what happened between you and Miss Nana?"
He tried to make his tone softer, but he didn't realize it sounded like a question to others.
The expression on Fuzukawa Shima's face became even more angry. He stepped forward and grabbed Tomioka Giyu's collar, "You really want to fight, don't you?"
"The lord is still resting inside."
Shinobu Kocho looked helpless and stepped forward to separate them.
Fuzukawa Miya glared at Tomioka Giyu, turned his head away and said nothing.
Tomioka Giyu: “…”
Shinobu Kocho looked at Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi with complicated emotions in her eyes.
She recalled what her lord had said at the meeting and clenched her fists.
"Butterfly?"
Giyu Tomioka noticed that Shinobu Kocho was in a bad mood and spoke in a puzzled voice.
Shinobu Kocho turned and walked towards the side courtyard, trying to calm her breathing which was beginning to become disordered.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
She began to mutter anxiously.
Fushigawa Shima didn't say anything, a look of sadness flashed across his eyes.
"It's really difficult for her to cooperate with a demon named Tamayo."
Seeing that his attempt to divert Shinobu Kocho's attention had failed, Uzui Tengen raised his hand and scratched his head helplessly.
He recalled Li Xiaoqi's anxious and worried expression last night when he pinched his mouth and forced him to drink food that would heal his injuries, and laughed out loud.
"However, you will gradually understand the charm of Miss Nana."
Uzui Tengen waved his hand and walked towards Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu, "Ms. Nana is a good woman."
His eyes fell on Fuzukawa Saneya, "Right, Fuzukawa?"
The corner of Fuzukawa Shiya's mouth twitched, "What does it have to do with me?"
"After all, you witnessed Muzan's transformation into a woman with your own eyes."
Uzui Tengen said.
In an instant, Iguro Obana, Haimei Shima Gyomei, Tomioka Giyu, and Shinobu Kocho, who had not yet left the yard, all fell silent.
Their expressions were extremely complicated, and they all looked at Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu.
Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu turned around and saw everyone looking at them for some reason.
As a result, Iguro Obana, Gyoumei Hirumi, Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho all raised their thumbs up in unison and gave a thumbs up.
Li Xiaoqi: “???”
Dazai Osamu blinked slowly and tilted his head cutely.
"What's wrong with everyone?"
Uzui Tengen walked over to Dazai Osamu and sat down cross-legged. He said, "It's nothing. This is just everyone's compliment for what you did last night."
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched: "Thank you."
Uzui Tengen raised his hand and patted Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu on the back with a smile, "Cheer up, weren't you very excited when you proposed this to the lord last night——"
"Anyway, Muzan Kibutsuji doesn't remember you anymore, so pretend boldly!"
Li Xiaoqi wiped his face with a complicated expression, "Thank you for your concern..."
Uzui Tengen raised the corner of his lips and said maliciously, "Anyway, I think Muzan will be unlucky if he meets you guys, which is good."
Li Xiaoqi: “…”
Dazai Osamu covered his lips and his shoulders shook with laughter.
"By the way, the location for the Pillar training has been decided. With this mansion as the center, we'll set up bases for each Pillar. Team members will come here in batches for training. First, they'll strengthen their basic stamina, increase their flexibility, correct their sword swings, strengthen their combat skills, and pass the comprehensive quality test."
"Through these projects, we can see which team members are suitable for learning firearms. After all, some team members may not be very good at swordsmanship, but they are good at other areas."
"However, we, the pillars, are all within the scope of study. I'll have to trouble Mr. Dazai when the time comes."
Uzui Tengen laughed and pointed at himself, "I'm definitely the one who learned it the fastest! I'm a ninja."
Li Xiaoqi chuckled softly, resting his hands on his knees and holding his chin, "Yes, Mr. Uzui's words will definitely be fine."
Dazai Osamu picked up a stone and tossed it up and down. "As expected of Mr. Yaoya, this will not only enhance the basic abilities of most of the team members, but also train a group of team members who can skillfully use firearms. It's the best of both worlds."
Li Xiaoqi raised his hand and asked, "But this will cause a lot of changes, right? What if Muzan Kibutsuji finds out? What about the ghosts wandering around outside?"
"Don't worry about that. The demons with Ms. Tamayo have special blood demon arts that can produce talismans to hide their tracks. They agreed to lend it to us. The team members are also undergoing secret training in batches. The untrained team members will be responsible for completing the mission."
Uzui Tengen frowned slightly, and spoke in a much lower voice, "The lord will invite them here to develop the potion with Butterfly."
Li Xiaoqi licked his lower lip and nodded, not feeling very surprised.
She had anticipated this situation after proposing the plan last night.
Compared to the original destiny, the training was advanced a little, but not too much. I hope that the "world rules" mentioned by the system will not interfere too much.
At that time, the incident in the Swordsmith Village will be a good opportunity to test the results of the training.
Or, just lure the snake out of its hole and kill the ghost with one stroke.
Dazai Osamu looked at Li Xiaoqi and laughed silently.
"It seems that Miss Nana has realized the lord's ultimate plan."
Uzui Tengen teased.
Li Xiaoqi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"
Uzui Tengen pointed to his brain and said, "I have my own judgment."
Dazai Osamu chuckled and flicked Li Xiaoqi's forehead with his finger.
"Actually, your expression is too obvious."
Li Xiaoqi held her cheeks in her hands, incredulous: "Is this true? You have such good eyesight!"
Uzui Tengen stuck out his tongue and spread his hands, "Well, that's it."
"It's almost time to go to the cafeteria. Purgatory and Ganlu Temple saw that you were in a bad mood, so they made sweet potato rice."
Li Xiaoqi blinked slowly, "Really???"
Dazai Osamu stood up, stretched, twisted his waist and moved his legs, and suddenly reacted.
"You mean Kyojuro-kun?"
Uzui Tengen: “Yes.”
Dazai Osamu's face froze, "Ah, that... I'm going to the bathroom!"
He covered his mouth and quickly slipped away.
Li Xiaoqi: “…”
"What happened to him?"
Uzui Tengen was puzzled.
Li Xiaoqi chuckled and said, "Well, let's avoid the human-shaped sun."
Uzui Tengen: “?”
Li Xiaoqi looked down at the corridor. The pillars had dispersed without him noticing, leaving only Tomioka Giyu.
He sat alone in the corridor, his body straight, his hands on his legs, staring at this side motionlessly.
Li Xiaoqi extended his hand and greeted: "Mr. Tomioka?"
Tomioka Giyu blinked slowly and suddenly stood up.
"What's up?"
He walked up to her and asked.
Uzui Tengen looked at Li Xiaoqi, then at Tomioka Giyu, and smiled meaningfully.
"Well, I'll go to the cafeteria first. You guys can chat slowly."
After saying this, he disappeared in a flash.
Li Xiaoqi looked up into Tomioka Giyu's calm eyes, awkward for a few seconds, and said, "Mr. Tomioka, shall we go to the cafeteria together?"
Tomioka Giyu nodded silently.
Li Xiaoqi: “…”
So, the two of them walked quietly on the quiet road without saying a word.
Yiyong, you are really too quiet.
Li Xiaoqi looked at the profile of Tomioka Giyu and complained in his heart.
She thought the other party had something to talk to her about, but in the end he didn't say anything along the way.
"Ah, speaking of which, where are Mr. Giotto and Mr. Asari?"
Li Xiaoqi suddenly remembered the two people who had disappeared since he got up, and asked in confusion.
