Chapter 14: Encountering the Demon Slayer World in a Dream...
I was stunned when I suddenly turned back into a human from a cat. I never expected that I could resist the transformation spell under President Fukuzawa, but I broke the spell under Katsumi Tsugikuni. In the midst of the relaxed moment of petting the cat and being petted, I suddenly turned into a human. We both felt very awkward.
Now that I've transformed into a human in front of Katsuyuki Tsugikuni, it must be the same in the real world. I just don't know if it's been exposed in front of the president.
Fortunately, I had watched Kokushiro Tsugikuni practice kendo for a long time beforehand, so the president must have already taken me out of the bathroom. Even if I was exposed, there was a buffer period. Otherwise, if I were to reveal my true form while taking a shower, I would feel like I would suffer social death.
After these random thoughts, I nimbly flipped over and jumped off Jiguo Yansheng's lap to the ground.
Although they were adversaries, they had been enjoying each other's services just half a minute ago, so it was really embarrassing to turn on each other directly. Subconsciously, they raised their hands and said "Hi," only to belatedly realize how silly their behavior was.
Ji Guoyan Sheng only then realized what was happening and jumped down from the wooden corridor where he was sitting, a wooden sword suddenly appearing in his hand.
Fortunately, he didn't chase after me with a knife like last time. He just raised his hand, pointed the knife at me, and asked, "It's you! What are you doing in my dream again?"
"I already told you, this is also my dream!" I pouted. Under my influence, this grand mansion of the Tsugikuni family has transformed into the alley of the Bungo Stray Dogs world, a world of towering buildings that I just transmigrated to today.
The last time I materialized a corner of Konoha, Konoha's Konoha ninja village, Konoha's Konoha ninja village remained quite calm. After all, Konoha is just a village. Although the style is a bit strange, it still has some similarities to the architecture of this era, so it couldn't make the young lord of Konoha show any surprise.
When I materialized the Bungo world, the modern buildings around me immediately shocked Iwakatsu from the Sengoku period, who exclaimed, "This is where yokai live? You're a cat yokai, aren't you!"
"I'm not a cat demon! I'm human!" I stomped my foot, feeling instantly disqualified from being human, and then directly dissed him, "Hmph, you're nothing special. Yoriichi was quite calm when he saw this scene!"
When I heard what Tsugikuni Iwakatsu said, his face immediately darkened. I also realized that I had stepped on a landmine. Saying that he was not as good as Yoriichi in front of this jealous Tsugikuni Iwakatsu was just asking to get beaten up!
I thought Kokushiro was going to come after me with his sword again, but to my surprise, he just gripped the wooden sword tightly, so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and said with a self-deprecating look, "Isn't that a given? Someone like Yoriichi, who is favored by all the gods, has long been beyond the realm of common sense. Even if he sees such a shocking and otherworldly scene, he won't show the expression that a normal person would have."
I looked at Kokushiro Tsugikuni with mixed feelings. Although this lemon-spirited guy was extremely jealous of Yoriichi, when it came to praising Yoriichi, he considered himself second to none.
"Actually, I think Yoriichi's almost indifferent attitude is not a good thing. That feeling of being detached from the world makes me very worried about him."
I shared my opinion: Yoriichi's condition is clearly autistic. Fortunately, he will gradually overcome his autism as he grows older, and he will also actively teach Sun Breathing after joining the Demon Slayer Corps. Otherwise, the entire Demon Slayer world would be doomed.
Looking at the child in front of me with a sullen face, and recalling how gently he had petted me before, I couldn't help but add, "Compared to him, your reaction is more like what a normal person should do. It's actually quite cute."
"Who, who allowed you to use those words to describe me!" Tsugikuni Iwakatsu looked offended and his eyes, which resembled Yoriichi's, widened and looked round, making him even cuter.
"Your expression now is much more pleasing to the eye than when you were jealous of Yui."
To be honest, Tsugikuni Iwakatsu seemed even angrier after hearing this. He even raised his hand holding the wooden sword, looking like he wanted to hit me. However, perhaps because of the time we petted the cat, he didn't actually swing the wooden sword at me, which is an improvement.
The surrounding high-rise buildings returned to the Tsugikuni residence. Tsugikuni Iwakatsu ignored me, took his wooden sword, walked to his usual sword practice spot, concentrated for a moment, and then resumed his sword practice, which was admirable.
I sat down in the corridor, swinging my legs out of boredom. The thought of being in the Bungo Stray Dogs world made me anxious. I wondered if the Demon Slayer world's consciousness had noticed that Yoriichi and I were missing.
The moment the thought crossed my mind, the scene before me rippled like a stone thrown into a lake. The next moment, the consciousness of the Demon Slayer world popped out from the ripples, which surprised me. It really was like speaking of the devil and he appears.
"I've finally found you! If you hadn't been calling my name in your heart, I'd still be wandering around like a lost soul!"
The world consciousness of Demon Slayer shouted with a joyful expression, completely abandoning its previous calm and arrogant demeanor. It seems that Yoriichi's disappearance has dealt it a heavy blow.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. Established world consciousnesses like the Naruto world consciousness cherish their subordinate Naruto worlds, let alone emerging world consciousnesses like Demon Slayer, which have very few subordinate worlds. Without Yoriichi's existence, that world would definitely be destroyed, which would be a huge loss for them.
Upon seeing the Demon Slayer world consciousness, Kokushibo immediately strode over and asked with a grim expression, "And who are you?"
Well, it's understandable that people are furious about being able to freely enter and exit one's dreams.
"Get out of my way! I'm busy right now! Don't bother me!"
The Demon Slayer world's consciousness wasn't friendly towards Kokushibo. It swatted him away with a single finger and then asked me urgently, "Where did you and Yoriichi go? I've been looking for you two everywhere, I'm exhausted!"
"Yoichi accidentally touched the foundation stone of my world, and then he and I fell into the world of Bungo Stray Dogs. It was about seven years before the start of the main story. We are currently staying at President Fukuzawa's house, and we have no problem surviving."
I briefly explained the current situation, secretly relieved that I had seen this anime where literary giants abandoned literature for martial arts; otherwise, it would have been even worse if I didn't even know where I had fallen.
"I will immediately negotiate with the world consciousness of Bungo and bring you and Yoriichi back soon!" The world consciousness of Demon Slayer said and left in a hurry, truly coming and going in a hurry.
I really wanted to say that He didn't need to be in such a hurry. I haven't had enough of modern society like Wenye. Who wants to go to the mountains to live a primitive life without electricity?
Even if Yoriichi is willing, it won't matter in this matter; I, for one, am absolutely unwilling.
The treatment of a savior is truly different; it makes the Demon Slayer world consciousness value him exceptionally. Look at Kokushibo, who was rendered unable to get up by a single finger strike; I feel I understand more and more why he resents Yoriichi so much.
I walked up to Jiguo Yansheng, squatted down, poked his head with my finger, and asked insincerely, "Do you need any help?"
The boy lying on the ground ignored me and struggled to get up. Even though his hands and feet were trembling, he still tried his best to support his body, which made people admire his tenacity.
After trying for a long time, Katsumi Tsugikuni finally managed to get up, then looked at me and asked, "Who exactly is that guy?"
"He is not human; if we had to describe him, he would probably be something like a god."
He immediately believed it and showed a look of shock. Then, as if he had thought of something, he clutched his chest and showed a twisted expression of pain and disgust. Seeing that he looked like he couldn't breathe, I was speechless. What happened now?
After a long pause, he finally recovered and asked in a deep voice, "Why does God value Yoriichi so much?"
Okay, I know why. The contrast between the brother who is disliked by the gods and the brother who is favored by the gods is truly tragic. No wonder he was agitated and had hyperventilation again.
"Yoriichi will save this world in the future! Perhaps that is the meaning of his birth into this world."
As I said this, I couldn't help but sigh. Is there any savior in the world more tragic than Yoriichi? He was unloved by his father from a young age, his mother died early, his pregnant wife was killed by a demon when he grew up, his most respected brother also became a demon, and he was expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps for failing to kill Muzan. He lived alone until he was eighty years old, with nothing in his life but killing demons. Thinking about it, I feel sorry for Yoriichi. Compared to a savior, he is more like a tool to pass on the Breath of the Sun to future generations.
When Kokushima Tsugikuni heard my words, he clenched his fists tightly, and his body trembled slightly from the intense emotions. After a long while, he managed to speak with difficulty, "Yoichi saved the world with his swordsmanship, didn't he?"
"Yes, the Sun Breathing technique he created is the key to slaying the Demon King who was wreaking havoc on the world." I explained patiently; this level of spoiler was acceptable in the dream world.
Perhaps when I have time, I can try spoiling Yoriichi's story in the Bungo Stray Dogs world. If I can reveal more about the future plot, things will be much easier later on, and that scumbag boss Muzan will definitely be wiped out without a trace.
"Sun Breathing? Is it very strong?" Kokushiro Tsugikuni's seemingly nonchalant tone revealed a hint of anticipation and longing.
"Extremely powerful! It's a breathing technique that can turn an ordinary swordsman into a top-tier swordsman."
In that instant, I saw Yan Sheng's eyes shining, the desire within them so intense that it could not be hidden.
"Where is Yoriichi? I must learn the Breathing of the Sun!"
Kokushiro Tsugikuni's resolute words left me feeling helpless. He's only seven years old. His biggest concern should be preserving his position as the heir to the Tsugikuni family. Why is he suddenly so eager to surpass Yoriichi in swordsmanship? That storyline should only begin after he becomes the lord of the Tsugikuni family.
Seemingly sensing my thoughts, the boy in front of me said in a childish yet resolute voice, "If Yoriichi's strength is due to the Breath of the Sun, then I must learn his breathing technique. I will never be content to lose to him!"
I remained silent. Sun Breathing was impossible, and Iwakatsu could only do Moon Breathing. In fact, he would be unwilling to accept it for the rest of his life. I lit a candle for him.
"I have another idea, which may seem ridiculous to you, but I want to kill the Demon King before Yoriichi, to prove that even gods can be wrong. Even if I wasn't born as a savior, I can still fulfill the mission that Yoriichi was born with!"
Kokushiro Tsugikatsu's resounding words left me speechless. He was destined to become Upper Moon One under Muzan's command! How come he's already thinking about how to kill Muzan?
Just imagining the scene of Sun Breathing and Moon Breathing teaming up to beat up Muzan is absolutely delightful!
