Chapter 044 High School Student Misery

"Tanjiro, is that guy okay now? It feels like those pillars are going to tear down the Butterfly House!"

Agatsuma Zenitsu shouted at Tanjiro who was practicing swordsmanship.

Three days ago, the Demon Slayer Corps' major operation ended. Although Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan was not completely eliminated, all the upper ranks were killed and the Demon King was seriously injured in his self-explosion.

Logically speaking, the otherworldly Wuman, who indirectly facilitated all of this, should be the hero.

...if he hadn't brought the lord to the brink of death.

Now the lord is still in a coma, barely hanging on to his last breath. If the curse is not eliminated within a week, I'm afraid the lord will really not survive.

But the only person who can find Muzan Muzan is now living safely in the lord's mansion, and goes to different places of the Demon Slayer Corps every day like a stroller.

In the morning, he went to the Butterfly House to eat, and at noon he randomly went to different pillars' residences to provoke them, and took a few children from the Umayashiki family with him to prevent himself from being beaten.

The other party didn't feel nervous at all. He just enjoyed seeing other people being upset but unable to beat him up. He had a very leisurely time these few days.

Such behavior successfully aroused the anger of the Demon Slayer Corps. The Wind Pillar even wanted to disregard the rules and take action several times, but was stopped by the children who held his legs.

Agatsuma Zenitsu grabbed his hair and was obviously very devastated. He was also injured in the previous action and now he cannot leave the Butterfly House, otherwise he would have run away long ago.

Because that person likes to come to the Butterfly House the most, watch them and then fall into a deep sleep.

“Tanjiro! Are you listening to me? Ahhhh what should I do? That person is so hateful! If he keeps going like this I’m going to be assassinated too!”

Agatsuma Zenitsu screamed and finally stopped the sword-wielding boy.

Tanjiro slept for too long and needs time to do recovery training. Before Oni completely destroys Chi, he must return to his best condition.

He was silent for a long time. After all, his feelings towards that tragedy were quite complicated.

He is not a purely evil person, but he is not a good person either.

But Nezuko liked him very much, so he just tilted his head and said, "I think it's OK to ignore Mr. Wuwu. He will leave on his own if he is not interested anymore."

He had just finished speaking when he heard Agatsuma Zenitsu's scream: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no, you can't say that name, after saying it,"

Before he could finish his words, Agatsuma Zenitsu felt someone tapping his shoulder, and the devil's voice came: "What will happen if you tell me?"

Zenitsu turned his head slowly with his eyes wide open like a machine, and when he saw the pair of smiling rosy eyes, he quickly fainted.

Chidori looked at the fainted man and couldn't help but chuckle. This guy was exaggerating too much. He couldn't be that scary.

He ignored Zenitsu and sat down casually, feeling the wind that brought the scent of wisteria flowers.

"Mr. Wuyun, good afternoon." After greeting Chidori, Tanjiro stood up and dragged Zenitsu into the back room before running out to continue practicing swordsmanship.

After saying hello, he had no intention of continuing to talk to Chidori.

Chidori was a little unhappy about being ignored. He rested his head on his legs, stared at Tanjiro and said with a smile: "I thought you would also ask why I didn't do anything."

After all, everyone who has contacted him these days asks this question. Umayashiki Kōya is the current spiritual pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Tanjiro did not stop swinging the sword, and the wooden stake made a sound, accompanied by Tanjiro's serious answer: "I know you will do it. You are very annoying, right?"

Chidori raised an eyebrow: "Intuition?"

"Intuition."

Chidori laughed and asked again, "Is it possible that I have to wait until Umayashiki Yoshiya dies before taking any action?"

In this way, he would not have violated the agreement.

The wooden sword hit the wooden stake fiercely, and the thick wooden stake broke into two pieces with a "crack" and fell to the ground with a sound.

The smile on Chidori's face froze. Although it didn't look like it, he still knew his limits. An honest man is more terrifying when he gets angry.

So he tensed his body, ready to turn around and run at any time, staring at Tanjiro with his cat-like eyes.

But Tanjiro just wiped his sweat, turned his head and looked at Chidori, with sincere doubt in his eyes. He said: "You and the lord should be a family in the other world. It is normal to help your family."

His words were so sincere that Chidori didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt that if she emphasized that they were not family, this guy would say something weird again.

"You guys are all just as weird." Chidori covered her head, not wanting to talk to this stubborn guy anymore.

He sighed deeply, looking at Tanjiro who was wielding the fiery sword moves. That move was completely different from the Breathing of Flame, it was a dazzling move like the sun.

After brushing Tanjiro's earrings, he narrowed his eyes and still told the purpose of his visit: "Tanjiro, I'll give you three days to master this breathing technique, and I'll let you chop off Muzan Muzan's head with your own hands."

He seemed to be talking about something as plain as what to eat for lunch, but Tanjiro just froze in place and subconsciously said "Huh?"

Chidori didn't care whether he understood or not. He had made his words clear anyway, and it was up to him whether to do it or not.

He walked around for a long time before finally returning to the Uzumayashiki residence. He walked towards one of the rooms with a clear purpose and opened the door.

Hearing the noise, Tianyin just raised her head to look at him, then lowered her eyes to look at the seriously ill Uzumaki Yoya who was lying there.

This was already a sign of her extreme dissatisfaction. Just like those kids, she certainly couldn't remain calm in front of Chidori.

But Chidori didn't care what he thought. She just knelt quietly beside Ubuyashiki Yoya, looking at the person whose head was almost entirely covered with gauze and whose breathing was so shallow that one had to get close to hear it clearly.

Three days later is the last deadline given by the doctor to Kōya Oyabuya. If Chidori fails to resolve Mumu by that day, the curse will take him away completely.

Kouyashiki Yoya is not dead, so Chidori will fulfill his promise. Although he does not seem to be a man who keeps his word, he is indeed very trustworthy in some aspects.

"He once taught me that I should keep my promise when I make an agreement. Only in this way can I have the possibility of further development."

Chidori suddenly spoke, and it was unclear whether she was talking to Tianyin or to the sleeping person.

In this regard, he still listened to the other party very much. After all, he was working hard to learn everything from Mitsuzan Yashiki.

He raised his hand and stretched it forward, as if he wanted to touch Yoya, the lower-born house. Tianyin's hands on her legs shrank, and she wanted to stop him, but she still didn't reach out.

The last order that Sanyashiki Yoya gave before he fell into a coma was that no action should be taken against Sanyashiki Muneshige unless something beyond the line, such as murder, occurred.

She looked at the handsome boy in front of her expressionlessly, not missing a single move of his, but the next second, she unexpectedly opened her mouth slightly.

Chidori's hand changed direction halfway and landed on Amane's sleeve. He knew how to use his appearance to gain favor, and his gaze from childhood to upwards was obedient and sincere.

“It’s really unpleasant to find your own weaknesses, but I have a solution. The Demon Slayer Corps will now obey your orders and cooperate with me, Tianyin.”

Even though she looks well-behaved and what she says is not very nice, it is indeed Chidori's way of expressing his goodwill.

Tianyin lowered her eyes and looked at him. In fact, she had never understood why her husband trusted her so much, but at this moment, she actually understood a little bit.

He did not touch her hand, but just conveyed his warmth invisibly, comforting the flustered Tianyin and gaining her trust.

Even if all this was caused by him, he was willful and selfish, contradictory and timid, and was indeed a wild cat.

When the lord is away, she certainly has the right to take charge of the Demon Slayer Corps, and her abilities are no worse than anyone else.

After a helpless sigh, Tianyin agreed that she would lead the Demon Slayer Corps to cooperate with Chidori.

Chidori smiled with satisfaction, withdrew her hand, sat up straight, and explained her plan bit by bit.

————————

Tamayo finally got out at night and saw wanted warrants that could be seen almost every few steps on the street.

There was a government seal on it, and even she was a little curious about who could be treated like this.

But after she got closer and saw clearly who it was, she just froze in place, confirming over and over again that she was not hallucinating.

Yes, it’s true, what’s shown above is Wu Po’s appearance, and even his several pseudonyms and real name are openly disclosed.

As for the crimes he was wanted for, including murder, theft, and even crimes similar to honey traps, each one was clearly written.

The bounty is very reasonable and the portrait is very realistic. If the person above wasn't Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan, perhaps Tamayo would have paid attention to it.

Is this the idea that the Demon Slayer Corps came up with? To humiliate Muzan Muzan? But she knew very well that the man was extremely afraid of death, and even if he was furious, he would not show up at this time.

She was a little worried, and after hesitating for a moment, she went to the Demon Slayer Corps to ask for clarification. When she entered, she saw Chidori handling the affairs of the Uzumaki family.

The other party looked impatient, but it was obvious that he was still somewhat excited, and his hands were moving at a pace that did not slow down at all.

If she felt frightened when she first saw him, it was completely different now. At least Muzan Muzan would not look at her like that.

The other party obviously noticed her. After looking up, he let out a "tsk" and lowered his head to deal with things.

Chidori really doesn't like Tamayo, but she is indeed afraid to let her go out, so she can only bury herself in her work.

The workload during this period was too heavy, and Amane and Kaoriya were too busy to handle it. Chidori was also worried about leaving it all to them, so she took on some of the work herself.

I never thought that one day he would be competing with Kouyashiki for work. At home, he usually only did jobs that were paid for him.

Perhaps guessing why Tamayo came, Chidori didn't even raise her head, wanting to get her out as soon as possible, and said impatiently, "I know this won't force him out, but he'll be very angry, and those kinds of bastards usually have no IQ when they get angry."

Muzan Kibutsuji Musashi has been in a position of rule for thousands of years, which has made him accustomed to using his strength. When he is angry to the point of losing his mind, he will vent his anger even if he knows he cannot show up.

Just like when Chidori vented her anger on Ubuyashiki Yoya before, it was a symbol of him losing his mind.

If I'm not mistaken, Muzan Muzan should have a hiding place or subordinates.

If it were him, he would use the vampire magic of his subordinates to find him alone, pull him into the space, vent his anger and kill him.

Therefore, in a space where his own safety can be guaranteed, Muzan Muzan will of course follow his own mood.

Under normal circumstances, Muzan Kibutsuji would not take risks, but he was angry, so angry that he wanted to tear Chidori into pieces.

But he is just an ordinary person. Even if they have the same blood, he cannot defeat the Ghost King. The ghosts' contempt for ordinary people has lasted for thousands of years.

Thinking of this, Chidori couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile. It wasn't a smart plan, but it did take advantage of Wu Can's weakness.

I will let him die in the lair he trusts the most, step on his head, and feed him his blood.

Disgusting things belong in the trash.
