Chapter 56 Chapter 56 The Little Ancestor and the Naughty Kids
In the Infinite Castle, all the demons gathered together. The upper ranks put aside their airs and prejudices against each other, and had a great time drinking and playing rock-paper-scissors.
Oh, by the way, this doesn't include Akaza and Douma.
Douma, who originally intended to give Akaza a "Young Girl Tender Beef Five-Sided Meal" and a "Women's Super Deluxe Set Meal", was the first demon to respond to the call when he just entered the Infinite Castle and heard his (pseudo) boss Muzan Kibutsuji announce a banquet.
"Ah, my Lord, you are so considerate of us."
The leader of the Eternal Paradise Cult, with his rainbow-colored eyes, clapped his hands with a smile, his oak-colored hair swaying slightly as he tilted his head. "It just so happens that I've also been thinking of building some rapport with Lord Akaza and Lord Kokushibo."
"Especially Akaza-sama."
Looking at the pink-haired Upper Rank Three beside him, Douma deliberately leaned over as if he didn't notice the disgusted expression on his face, and even stretched out his hand to try to put his arm around Akaza's shoulder. "I believe that Akaza-dono and I can become good friends. Akaza-dono-dono thinks so too, right?"
Akaza, whose neck was being strangled, looked indifferent: I don’t want to, I don’t have that idea, get out.
Completely ignoring Akaza's confused expression, Douma acted very excited and interested, and even indirectly helped Muzan Kibutsuji dispel some of the doubts and suspicions that the other demons had about the nonsensical order he gave.
"Your Excellency has already found the location of the headquarters of those annoying Demon Slayers, right?"
Douma, now a bit more serious, opened the metal fan in his hand, half covering his face. With his upturned lips obscured, only a pair of beautiful colorful eyes were exposed, making Douma look a bit scary.
Because there was no warmth in the only pair of eyes that were exposed. They were cold and indifferent, like a hollow doll without any emotional fluctuations.
"This banquet, sir, besides superficially mobilizing us, the real purpose is to gather everyone and prepare to wipe out those annoying rats in one fell swoop. After all, didn't sir already visit the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters last time?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, his face expressionless as he stated his speculation, unsure whether to smile or remain silent due to the fan. "And the blue spider lily... The demon who overcame the sunlight appeared earlier, and happened to be in the Demon Slayer Corps as well."
As long as Muzan Kibutsuji devours the demon named Nezuko Kamado, he can gain the same ability - no longer afraid of sunlight. In this way, even the blue spider lily is no longer the only antidote.
Compared to the blue spider lily that has been searched for in vain for hundreds of years, Nezuko Kamado is obviously easier to obtain.
Douma's analysis was very logical, Kokushibo seemed to be lost in thought, Akaza was completely uninterested, and the exclamations and echoes of Gyokutsuchi, Hantengu, and Daki showed that they were completely convinced of Douma's words.
Looking at the group of cannibals below who had come up with excuses and perfected all his arguments for him, Muzan Kibutsuji said: ...
There is a reason why the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji in this world cannot find the blue spider lily, and there is also a reason why his own Twelve Kizuki are always laid off by the Demon Slayer Corps.
When the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji is looking for employees, doesn’t he conduct an interview or assessment?
It’s amazing!
While Muzan Kibutsuji was complaining in his heart, he displayed the aura of a superior that he inherited during his time in Heian-kyo and the aura of a person in power that he learned from Kokarasuma. He stared at Douma silently for a long time, then nodded without comment, which was considered as an approval of Douma's words.
And this performance of Muzan Kibutsuji completely dispelled the doubts of some upper-rank demons.
After all, no ghost/creature can have the same despicable buff aura and sinister, condescending and arrogant aura as Muzan Kibutsuji!
So, Muzan Kibutsuji, who had no idea that his pretense had just been misinterpreted by the demon, successfully secured his position, pushed the plan forward, and successfully became the enemy's boss by going undercover.
This is also the reason why when the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji returned home, he saw that the group of cannibals were so drunk and believed in the orders of another imposter.
However, the plot continues from the previous chapter. The Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji has no chance to settle accounts with Muzan Kibutsuji, because right behind him, an old acquaintance is greeting him.
Turning around, I met my beloved boss with pupils shaking: "Tsugikoku Yuichi!!! Don't come over here!!!"
Not to mention that the scumbag boss almost performed "How I turned into countless pieces" on the spot when he saw Tsugikuni Yoriichi, just that distorted high-pitched voice that seemed to pierce the ceiling of the Infinite Castle was enough to make countless drunken ghosts sober up a little.
What's more, there is another upper-rank demon who has a deep connection with Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and is as sensitive to this name as the trash boss.
Kokushibo, who had originally closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being slightly drunk, suddenly opened his six eyes, quickly stood up and turned his head to look towards the place where the taboo name was shouted. Then, a figure that made him feel familiar to the core was clearly reflected in his six eyes.
"Tsugumi-kun-yonichi!"
As if squeezed out from between teeth, or as if it had been too long since he had mentioned this name and it was a little unfamiliar and difficult to say, Kokushibo drew his sword and rushed towards Tsugikoku Yoshiichi without thinking: "You are not dead yet!"
“Clang——”
To Kokushibo's surprise, a katana suddenly appeared from the side and blocked his blade.
Following the blade's edge, Kokushibo saw a strange yet familiar figure. It was... the human form of himself he had abandoned and thought he had forgotten.
If Kokushibo felt anger and inexplicable jealousy and joy when he first saw Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, then when he saw Tsugikoku Iwaki, Kokushibo felt only absurdity.
Perhaps the appearance of the Jikoku brothers was too shocking, Kokushibo's pupils trembled, and he stood there for a moment.
However, Kokushibo was confused, but Tsugakuin Iwaki was not.
"You are Kokushibo...?"
Although he had only heard that he in this world had fallen into a demon, this was the first time that Jiguo Yansheng actually saw his fallen self.
Looking Kokushibo up and down, Tsugakugo Iwakatsu's eyes contained no mockery, disgust, or disdain, but only a calmness that made Kokushibo even more furious. It was like the calmness of someone looking down from a high position, someone who had nothing to do with him.
"So, this is what it's like to fall into the state of a demon?"
Tsugakugo Yansheng flipped his wrist, deflected Kokushibo's blade, and then took an offensive stance: "Although I don't want to admit that I am you, but...tsk. You have become a demon, you should have died long ago."
"The Tsugakuin Iwakatsu of this time and space is already dead. As a demon, Kokushibo, you will pay the price for what you have done today."
"ha?"
As if irritated, Kokushibo's face showed a mocking expression: "Who do you think you are?"
Countless branches appeared on the blade, and sporadic sparks flew with a harsh sound when the weapons collided. Two beings that were somewhat similar but had completely different postures looked at each other, one with an indifferent expression and the other with anger in his eyes.
"Just a mere human..."
Kokushibo swung his sword, and the Breath of the Moon was released in the blink of an eye: "You want to defeat me? Even if Tsugakugo Iwa wins, you are just wishful thinking."
"Yeah?"
Jiguo Yansheng lowered his body slightly, took a step back with his left foot, and then, in just a breath, before even Kokushibo could see his movements clearly, the sword energy released by the Moon Breathing had been dispersed.
"You are a demonic being, while I am training with a god."
Standing up, Tsugakugo Yansheng once again took up his offensive stance, his expression remaining calm. "Two extremes, two possibilities. Let's end it all today."
"Oh."
Finally sober and calm, Kokushibo closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the blood demon technique had been brought to its peak: "Then let's give it a try."
"Let's see, am I the one who's right as a ghost, or am I the one who's right as the other end?"
"Lord Kokushibo seems serious."
Douma waved his fan and watched the massive battle unfolding nearby. The smile on his face never faded, and his tone remained as nonchalant as ever: "Ah, ah, this is truly rare."
"Really? I didn't expect you to have the leisure to watch a show here."
Byakuran, who had been caught off guard and tricked by Douma's blood demon art before, went straight to him this time. The wings made of white flames behind him spread out, and a white dragon coiled around him.
His purple eyes narrowed slightly, and Bai Lan nodded at the inverted crown beneath his eyelids. His tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "The last battle has not yet concluded."
"Who are you?"
Looking at Bai Lan in front of him, Douma tilted his head with a puzzled expression: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm only interested in cute and beautiful girls, and I don't have any memory of worthless men like you."
"oh?"
He opened his eyes slightly, and a ring representing the cube of seven appeared on his hand. Byakuran hit Douma in the face without hesitation: "Then I will give you an unforgettable experience."
"You don't seem to know, or maybe you forgot?"
Douma easily dodged Byakuran's attack. The moment the two passed each other, an ice lotus emerged, and huge ice crystal statues appeared here, freezing the surrounding ogres who were unable to dodge into ice sculptures and then crushing them into powder.
"This place is poisonous, huh?"
Douma folded his fan and tapped it on his palm, kindly reminding him.
"Don't bother you worrying about this."
Shinobu Kocho, Kanao Kocho, and Kanae Kocho appeared on the battlefield together. The porcelain bottles in their hands were opened, and a faint cold fragrance filled the air: "Your poison doesn't seem to be particularly sophisticated."
Sprinkling the antidote developed by Chouya and Tamayo into the air, Chou Shinobu took the lead in attacking, and her special blade pierced Douma's shoulder: "Pay the price for your actions."
Douma and Kokushibo were completely entangled, and Akaza was also in a bad situation.
Rengoku Kyojuro's blade pierced Akaza's arm. The man and the demon stared at each other, neither of them willing to take a step back, just like the night they met on the train.
"Kyojuro, come on, let's continue the battle we left unfinished last time!"
Compared to other demons who fight because of the orders of Muzan Kibutsuji, Akaza's current fighting spirit comes entirely from his own will - to fight with the strong, kill the strong, and then devour the strong.
"Hmm, as much as I'd like to, I'm afraid I can't today."
Rengoku Kyojuro swung his sword fiercely, and crimson flames roared and rolled. "My comrades are here with me. My mission and goal today is to completely annihilate you!"
A giant dragon made of clear water roared and rushed towards Akaza with flames. Tomioka Giyu and Sanagi rushed towards Akaza from the left and right: "Breathing of water, picking up the form, flowing!"
"The battle situation over there seems to be very intense."
Tokito Muichiro withdrew his gaze from other battlefields and said, "Hurry up and get rid of this guy. I have to go find Kokushibo." Then, get rid of him.
If it weren't for that guy, they wouldn't have to move to the mountains to escape the world, and his parents wouldn't have died.
"Don't underestimate me."
Yu Hu stuck half of his body out, and a large number of fish gathered around him: "Burn into the belly of the fish!"
"Snack?"
Ryunosuke Akutagawa simply stretched out his hand, and the giant Rashomon beast behind him bit and swallowed all the piranhas that rushed towards him.
Although Nakajima Atsushi was not as simple and brutal as Akutagawa Ryunosuke, he broke through the school of fish and attacked the Jade Pot's body.
“Boring.”
Fuzukawa Minoru and Fuzukawa Genya stood side by side. Wind Pillar Fuzukawa Minoru looked at the large number of piranhas that suddenly appeared in front of him and simply pulled his stupid brother behind him: "Stay here, protect yourself."
The Breath of Wind slashed out, and Fuzukawa Shima rushed forward with force: "Xuan Mi, I'll leave my back to you!"
The tacit understanding between the brothers led to the two of them being very familiar with each other's words and actions, and even knowing what to do next with just a glance from the other. But before this, Fushigawa Xuanya was often protected by his brother.
Although almost no one noticed this action, every time Buzuigawa Xuanya received a mission or traveled on a mission, he often met familiar figures on the road and heard news about his brother performing a mission here, which told him that in his brother's eyes, he had always been the younger brother who needed to be well protected behind his back.
But this is not what Fuzukawa Xuanya wants.
What he wanted was to be able to truly stand on the same platform with his brother, stand back to back with his brother, and together kill those cannibals who should not exist in this world and bring suffering to people.
But today, Fushigawa Xuanya heard what his brother had never said to him.
The back is up to him.
Instantly realizing that his brother had complete confidence in his own strength and had agreed to fight alongside him this time, Xuanya Fushigawa couldn't help but raise his lips, then responded loudly: "Brother, I will protect your back!"
So, go for it without any burden!
"Really? It's so troublesome."
The belt behind Daki cut the surrounding buildings and the ogres who were unable to dodge and should have been considered companions into pieces, and blood mixed with the debris of the buildings piled up on the ground.
Glancing across at the fake Muzan Kibutsuji who had deceived her before, Daki's originally beautiful face instantly twisted and became hideous: "It's all you, you deceived me!"
And when this war is over, she will definitely be blamed by Lord Muzan! She will definitely be scolded and held accountable!
"Fake! Die! Pay the price for your actions!"
As the target of the accusation, Muzan Kibutsuji stood at the back leisurely, watching Daki being stopped by Uzui Tengen, Kamado Tanjiro, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Hashibira Inosuke, and Mori Ogai, while adding fuel to the fire, "I remember I clarified several times when we first met that I am not that Demon King."
You recognized the wrong person, and you can still blame me?
Daki: ...
Dazai Osamu, who had been hiding nearby, observing and analyzing the situation like Muzan Kibutsuji, also joined in the discussion: "I've only heard that ghosts can make people ugly. I didn't expect you to prove this point and help others prove another."
"If you're that stupid, even becoming a ghost can't make up for your lack of intelligence."
Daki:!!!
"So weak."
In the blink of an eye, Uzui Tengen chopped off Daki's head, and then delivered a final defense-breaking critical strike: "Hurry up and let the real online six come out, okay? I really don't feel like playing with a weakling like you."
Daki: I'm going to kill you! Kill you!
Brother! Someone is bullying me!!!
Seeing that the Infinite Castle was almost in ruins, Hantengou, Mingnu, Kanroji Mitsuri, and Iguro Obana were confronting each other. While being fed dog food crazily, they had to be careful not to get their heads chopped off.
However, the building was collapsing so quickly that the space available for movement was shrinking.
At this moment, a huge explosion like thunder sounded, and then the already crumbling Infinite City completely collapsed into ruins.
“So much trouble!!”
Nakahara Chuuya was standing on a massive pillar that had been dismantled from who knows where. The surrounding buildings seemed to be made of paper, gradually bending, collapsing, and sinking. Deep pits appeared on the ground. "Why should I be the one to deal with these noobs?"
It refers to the group of ordinary ogres who have no fighting ability and are completely crushed into ashes by gravity.
"Because that's the only value a slug has."
Dazai Osamu successfully triggered Chuuya Nakahara with just one sentence.
"Bluefin Fish, shut up! You're the one who does nothing but just stands there to make up the numbers, right?" After all, no one can match his speed in cleaning up the small fish!
The remaining half of Infinite City was completely reduced to ruins.
Boss: ...
Thank you so much for helping me to dismantle my house and lay off employees:)
Yuichi Tsugikuni holding a knife: No need to thank me, you will be demolished soon :)
Xiao Wuhuan, who was drinking tea from a teacup and watching, passed the snacks in his hand to Tamayo, and then pinched a big fuku with his fingertips and brought it to the lips of Nezuko Kamado who was lying on his lap: "Be good, don't worry."
The comforted Nezuko Kamado hummed a few times, then rubbed along Karasuma's hand.
Muzan Kibutsuji, who was originally watching the show: ...
I wasn't paying attention and my house was stolen by some wild outsiders again!!!
*
Things started quickly and ended quickly.
All the man-eating ghosts were produced. When the Ghost King Muzan Kibutsuji tried to struggle for the last time, the sun just rose. The trash boss under the sunlight melted like mud in the rising sun.
"it's over."
Xiao Wuhuan looked at the cubs who had more or less scratches on their bodies and smiled at them: "You have grown a lot, that's enough."
The kids who suddenly had a bad feeling: Wait, this tone...
"I'm leaving."
With the disappearance of the cannibal ghost, Xiao Wuwan felt that his connection with this time and space was getting weaker and weaker, and his connection with those little guys was also fading.
Through the eyes of the Demon Slayer Corps and the cubs, she saw her body fading.
"It's okay, this is a necessary farewell."
Xiao Wuhuan was very calm. The first thing she learned over a long period of time was habit.
"Go back to your world and live a good life."
After taking a last look at those little guys, Xiao Wuhuan turned around firmly, the black crow-feather-like hair ends passed by, and the red-clothed Tsukumogami completely disappeared.
"As long as the memory remains, this bond..." will not disappear due to the barriers of time and space.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Small extra:
At this time, Xiao Wuhuan suddenly felt the call of a certain Honmaru.
It is very rare for a main spirit to be called by a subordinate main spirit.
Xiao Wuhuan, who was rarely interested, followed the call and went to the Honmaru. However, to her surprise, there was no swordsman in the Honmaru. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar dumpling.
"Mother!"
Chuuya Dango happily rushed over and hugged Karasuma's waist: "Finally seeing you again!"
Xiao Wuhuan, who was standing there in confusion: ...?
"The Time Government said that if we come to work there, we can see Mom again!"
The well-behaved little Dumpling sold out a government organization without blinking an eye.
Kokarasuma: ...Hehe.
"Just now, did you say 'you guys'?"
Xiao Wuhuan, who accurately captured the key words, felt a black screen in front of his eyes after seeing Chuuya nodding hesitantly.
Why does she want to be a mother after all these years?
Finally unable to hold back, Dazai Dango, Mori Ogai Dango, Akutagawa Dango, Nakajima Atsushi Dango, and Muzan Dango rushed out from behind the screen and pounced: "Me too!"
Kokarasuma: ...
There was another slight noise from behind the screen, and a group of unfamiliar people poked their heads out.
"Yes, Mom?"
Akutagawa Gin asked timidly. Beside him, Higuchi Ichiyo Dango was holding Izumi Kyoka Dango's hand. Edogawa Ranpo Dango glanced at them and said with certainty, "Ranpo-sama can clearly tell you, yes."
Kokarasuma: No, it's not.
I'm so excited that I have more kids to take care of this time!!!
*
As time went by, Xiao Wuhuan had accepted his fate.
Isn't it just being a mother? It's not like I haven't been one before, haha.
However, Xiao Wuhuan did not expect that he would regret it so soon.
Because, one day when she woke up, she opened her eyes and saw a sword-shaped dumpling that was so familiar that it made her teeth itch greeting her.
"Mother, do you miss me?"
Doujiqidango leaned over and gave Karasuma a big kiss, leaving a saliva mark on his face: "I know Mother must have missed me!"
Little Karasuma sat up with a wooden face and looked around. Great, all the dumplings from Heian-kyo were here.
Covering his face with his hands, Xiao Wuhuan sighed deeply.
I'm so tired...
But things could always get worse.
Because these sword-wielding balls met those little brats.
Kokarasuma: Goodbye, Time Government, you damn well better explode right here!
