Chapter 43

[As if not wanting to be outdone, the one who came to the live broadcast yesterday was the brother [Tokito] from Demon Slayer Academy, and the one who came to the live broadcast today is the teacher [Komaji] from Kizuki Academy.

A certain young lady from the director's team was crying and biting her hand silk - damn it! Originally, the Tokitoshi brothers were planning to invite the Demon Slayer trio from Demon Slayer Academy to do the live broadcast, but the plan changed. After the original plan was known by Kibutsuji Muzuru, the principal of Kizuki Academy, he angrily donated a sum of money and demanded that their teacher Komaji be allowed to do the live broadcast first.

Although teacher Komaji is also very good, she still likes the Big Devil Trio more! So why... why is Muzan Muzan so rich!

The protagonist of the young lady's words, Mr. Komaji, was also helpless - he obviously didn't want to come, wouldn't it be better to go out and have fun with his newlywed wife Koiyuki, but Principal Muzan Muzan forced him to come.

Principal Murei was originally a sworn enemy of Principal Ubuyashiki of Demon Slayer Academy. This time, seeing that the other side had several teachers/students live streaming in a row, while he only had two (Xie Hanatarō and Xie Hanamei were counted as one because they were siblings), he felt that he had lost, so he bought several of them at the price of 20w per spot due to his strong competitive spirit.

——And the position that Komaji is currently occupying is one of the places that the other party bought. Muzan Muzan even specifically requested that the director team put him before the three demon kings. In the other party’s original words, it was——

"Yeah, you old thief! I finally beat you this time!"

His thoughts were a bit far away, so Komaji quickly shook his head, put his focus back on the live broadcast, and greeted the camera:

"Hello everyone, I am [Komaji], the actor who plays the third rank in the series "Slayer"."】

Tomioka Giyuu looked at the broadcaster with short black hair, blue eyes, and light pink eyelashes. He was wondering who this person was, but after hearing the latter part, he understood - ah, it turned out to be Upper Rank Three.

But the Upper Three described on the forum doesn't seem to be like this?

"He's just an actor." Fuzugawa said. Tomioka realized that he had accidentally expressed his doubts, "Not all actors look like ghosts."

I see. Tomioka Giyuu nodded.

[“Let me first introduce myself briefly. I’m Mr. Komaji of Kigetsu Academy, and I’m the physical education teacher. By the way, Kigetsu Academy has very good welfare benefits, huge dormitories, and the students and teachers are patient... and easy to get along with.”

Komaji couldn't say any more: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's start with the human period of Akaza."

"It's a coincidence that Inuza's name when he was a human was the same as mine, Komaji. He was born in Edo. Because he was born with fangs, he was called the 'Demon's Child'."

"When he was 11 years old, his relatives died one after another, and his father was the only relative left. But his father was seriously ill, so he could only try his best to buy medicine for his father. However, at that time, medicinal materials were not something that a poor child like him could afford. Therefore, in order to save his father's life, he had to choose to steal money to buy medicine for his father."】

Some members of the Demon Slayer Corps fell silent.

Someone hesitated and said, "Why do I feel that this Yiwozuo is not a bad person? He stole the money to buy medicine for his father. He had no choice!"

"But he's a demon! He's Upper Rank Three... He might have eaten our relatives... He's a demon! All demons deserve to die!"

"Is there any reason for this? I don't think I enjoy being a bad guy yet."

"You're crazy! That's a ghost!"

"What's the point of saying this now?" Colleague C was unusually calm at this moment. "First, this has already happened. Second, no matter how pitiful he is, it can't change the fact that he was eaten by a ghost. Third, yelling here now won't solve the problem. Let's read on."

【“With the intuition of a poor child, Akaza believed that if he was too weak, he would definitely not be able to escape the revenge of the victims of the theft and the pursuit of the magistrate. Therefore, Akaza continued to hone himself while stealing. During this period, although Akaza was caught by the magistrate for stealing many times, because he was still young, he was often let go by the magistrate after being punished.”

"At the age of 15, Akaza was sentenced to 100 strokes of the cane at the magistrate's office, a punishment that would have knocked even a strong man unconscious. Since he had been training to become stronger since he was young, his physique was stronger than that of an ordinary person, so Akaza remained conscious even after receiving such a severe punishment."

"Although Akaza had long since become numb to this kind of punishment, bad news kept coming. What he didn't expect was that after returning home, he actually learned from his neighbors that his father had hanged himself. It turned out that his father had long been very sad about his son's continuous criminal behavior, and at the same time believed that it was his own serious illness that dragged his son down; in order to allow his son to be a good person and start over, he chose to end it this way. Not long after, Akaza was exiled from Edo. After being expelled, he wandered alone."】

"Will he be driven out of Edo and meet Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan, and decide to take revenge on everyone because he couldn't stand his father's suicide, and thus became a demon?"

"There must be something pitiful about a hateful person." Colleague B said, "Or should we say a hateful...ghost? Although we sympathize with his childhood, this has nothing to do with what happened to him after he became a ghost. Since he has become a ghost...he should be killed!"

"Amitābha." Beiming Yu Xingming sat in the wisteria house, touching the Buddhist beads, tears falling from his eyes.

[“Thinking back to the time when I tried so hard to save my father, and even used whatever means to do so, but my father still ended his life in such a tragic way. Inuza finally realized that it was this ugly and evil world where the rich can do whatever they want and the poor are not even allowed to live that forced his father to death!”

At this point, Komaji couldn't help but sigh - fortunately he lived in this society, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that if he encountered such a situation, he would do the same thing as Inoueza above.

"Then, thinking that as long as his father was alive, it didn't matter what happened to him, Inoza defeated seven adults who had troubled him with his bare hands to vent his grief over his father's death and his hatred for the world."]

"Look!" The Demon Slayer who had just made the guess pointed at the screen and shouted, "I was right!"

"No, it's different from what you said." Murata complained, "At least I didn't hear the name Muzan Muzan."

"I think they'll be here soon! Just keep an eye on them!"

Unlike the ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members, the Pillars were analyzing very calmly at this moment.

"He defeated seven adults who annoyed him with his bare hands?" Fuzugawa Shigeya frowned, "Did he show amazing strength at that time?"

"Upper Rank Three is indeed not to be underestimated." said Shinobu Kocho.

Uzui Tengen: "As expected of an Upper Rank Three, you were able to defeat seven adults with your bare hands when you were a child?"

【“However, at this time, Akaza met the noble man in his life - Master Keizo.” At this point, [Komaji] sighed again, it was such a coincidence that [Koiyuki]'s father was also called [Keizo].

"When Akaza and the Master fought before, Master Keizo saw at a glance the other party's talent in martial arts. Because he didn't want him to fall into depravity, Master Keizo showed his strength, and after easily defeating Akaza, he took him back to his Soryu Dojo."】

"I got it wrong." Colleague B said, "It's the noble man in the life of Upper Rank 3, Muzan Kibutsuji Mukuro."

【“After arriving at the dojo, Akaza discovered that there was no other disciple in the entire dojo except himself. In response, Master Keizo smiled bitterly and said that because he had no ability, his wife and daughter had suffered a lot in the past. His wife even committed suicide not long ago. At the same time, because he had to go out to work to maintain his livelihood and the management of the dojo, he really couldn't spare time to take care of his sick daughter, so he planned to ask Akaza to take care of his daughter, Koyuki.”

"However, Akaza always considered himself a sinner, and felt that he was not qualified for this kind of job. However, when he asked his master if he was safe to leave the house with only his daughter at home to him, a sinner, the master said to him: 'As a sinner, I have already dealt with you, no problem!' After that, Akaza met Koiyuki. Seeing that the sick Koiyuki had a similar experience to his father, Akaza finally decided to stay in the dojo and take care of Koiyuki in order to prevent the tragedy that happened to him from repeating itself."

Ah, Koiyuki, Koiyuki. Komaji thought of his girlfriend again. He sighed - fortunately Koiyuki is in good health. 】

"Based on my experience!" said the member who made the guess at the beginning, "Upper Three must have fallen in love with this girl in the end, but the girl died because of illness. In the end, Upper Three lost hope of living and met Muzan Muzan. Under Muzan Muzan's coercion, he turned into a demon and forgot everything about his human life."

"No." Murata was worried, "I always feel that things are not that simple."

[“During this period, because Inoza showed his gentle nature when taking care of Renxue, Renxue gradually fell in love with him as they spent time together. However, because Inoza always thought that he was a sinner and never thought that anyone would like him, he never discovered Renxue's feelings for him.”]

"Look, Lian Xue likes Shang Shang San now. My guess this time must be correct!"

"No, this feeling... is a bit like be." Colleague B mentioned a new word that was posted on the forum last time.
