Chapter 166
The main purpose was to successfully capture and kill the upper-rank demons under Muzan Kibutsuji, and the second purpose was to try to lure Muzan Kibutsuji himself out. Ubuyashiki Kōya only took one night to formulate the plan.
At dawn the next day, dozens of mutant crows were sent out from the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and then they flew back within a few days.
As Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at the letter sent back by the mutant crows in his hand, the smile on his lips grew wider.
He lowered his eyes and said, "The bait has been laid. Muzan Kibutsuji, I wonder if you will take the bait that is right in front of your mouth."
The days seemed to pass by unchanged, and the pillars also rested during the day and went out for patrol at night as usual. However, only they themselves knew that after learning about the strength of the upper-rank demons from the former pillar, Kanae Kocho, they had secretly increased their daytime training during this period.
However, this also led to an increase in Qingxi's workload.
For example, as daily consumption increases, the stomach becomes hungry faster. So with the mentality of eating more delicious food to make the food cells in the body more active, whenever they are free, Jiuzhu’s three meals a day are changed from their own home to the Butterfly House.
Considering that he couldn't compete with the patients for the kitchen, Yaoya simply sent someone to make a major change to the kitchen in the crow house, transforming it from a kitchen that was only used to feed the crows into a kitchen that served the pillars.
Not only were all the stoves and furnaces left out, but they were also prepared in abundance.
As a result, Qingxi stayed in the kitchen of the crow house all day long, and there was one thing that concerned her very much.
Because of the Nine Pillars, whenever Qingxi came to Butterfly House, she would subconsciously take care of the gluttonous and particularly shy Mitsuri Kanroji. Recently, the ingredients in her food backpack have been consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, which made Qingxi anxious because she felt that she could not finish eating them in dozens of lifetimes.
At the rate they ate, her gourmet backpack would probably be eaten up in just two or three years.
This question made Qingxi feel a little worried. For this reason, she had to pick a night when she was resting in her room and secretly send a private message to Atong who was called back by the main brain, asking it if it could give her a back door and replenish the ingredients in her food backpack to the amount of 9999.
Thinking back to the beginning, when she saw that Atong had stuffed every compartment in the gourmet backpack with ingredients, she felt quite disgusted. But when she saw the private message she had written to Atong, she felt her face hurt.
I don’t know when Atong will be able to see the private message I sent to him. Qingxi just left it alone after doing this.
Because even if she wanted to, she didn't have the ability to do so.
"Wow, this pudding is delicious." The girl's voice was cheerful. "Every bite can make people taste the rich milky aroma."
"...The most important thing is, Axi, you actually treated me to so much food." Mitsuri Kanroji said excitedly.
There was a big bowl in front of her. Some of the people who came to eat today would find this bowl familiar.
That’s right, this big bowl was the same model that she had prepared specifically for Beiming Island Xingming, and later she took it away and made it Jiro’s exclusive bowl.
Although it was shocking to see a big eater eating out of a normal person's bowl and seeing the empty bowls beside him, she didn't want to wash so many bowls by herself. So she not only ordered three large bowls for Kanroji Mitsuri, but also three similar bowls for Jiuzhu.
Qingxi: Why use more bowls to solve a problem that can be solved with three bowls?
Are you dissatisfied with having no place to spend your energy?
"If you like it, I'll prepare it for you next time." Qingxi's hands were busy.
Pudding Mountain, a natural food source from nature, is 60 meters above sea level and is a mountain where an average person cannot finish eating all the food in their lifetime.
"But now—" She slammed the large bowl filled with food in front of Mitsuri Kanroji, "Super deluxe curry tempura rice bowl, please enjoy."
"Wow." Looking at the large bowl in front of her, which was covered with freshly fried tempura, Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes sparkled and her face flushed. "Just looking at it makes me very hungry... The aroma of curry is so rich and special."
Qingxi, who had already started serving rice to another person next to him, didn't even look up: "Eat first. If you want more after you finish, I'll serve you more."
Kanroji Mitsuri covered half of her face with her hands and said softly, "Thank you."
After serving everyone their lunch today, Qingxi slowly served himself a bowl.
However, when she put an average person's normal daily food amount on a plate together with theirs, it gave people the feeling of adults and children.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of muscles suddenly expanding was heard.
I looked in the direction of the noise, and oh, it turned out that Giyu Tomioka's right arm holding the spoon suddenly turned into a demon. That's nothing.
Everyone took a quick look and then looked away.
It's not that they are too careless, but because they have been eating Qingxi's dishes every day recently, some of the ingredients are exactly what the gourmet cells in their bodies need. Therefore, as situations like today have become more common, they have gone from being shocked at first to being accustomed to it.
"The siege... will happen tonight?" They were all familiar with each other, so Qingxi was less hesitant when asking the question.
Rengoku Kyojuro ate a piece of tempura shrimp from his bowl, exclaimed that it was delicious, and nodded, "Yes, if nothing goes wrong."
"Is that so?" Qingxi said and nodded.
Rengoku Kyojuro tilted his head, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Qingxi shook his head, "It's just that generally speaking, you guys must be hungry after the battle... I'll start preparing the food this afternoon, and you can come and eat then.
...Don't worry if it's not today, I can put them in my gourmet backpack and you can have them for lunch tomorrow."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"That's okay. There are enough people in Butterfly House right now, and they don't need me alone. I have plenty of time."
The two of them chatted casually, and the atmosphere seemed very good.
Of course, this is just what Mitsuri Kanroji personally sees, but in fact, some people are not in a very good mood.
"Aki." Shinobu Kocho was the first to attack, calling the girl's name with a smile on her face.
"Hmm?" Qingxi raised his head and uttered a single sound through his nose.
"Do you still have the coffee you brewed for me?" asked Shinobu Kocho. "I suddenly feel like drinking it."
Qingxi, who couldn't quite understand why she suddenly wanted to drink coffee while eating curry rice, was confused for a few seconds. Then she put down the half-eaten curry rice and stood up, "Yes. But the weather is so stuffy, Sister Shinobu, I'll make you a cup of iced coffee this time."
"Okay." Shinobu Kocho responded in a gentle voice, but the look she gave Rengoku Kyojuro was a little unfriendly.
It would be fine if you didn't see it, or the occasion didn't allow it, but in a situation like now where you are here and everyone else is around, isn't it a bit too much for you to so openly show off your presence at Axi's place?
Don't think they didn't see the little tricks you were doing just now to try to attract Axi's attention.
Shinobu Kocho withdrew her gaze, and coincidentally, her eyes met those of Rengoku Makijuro who was looking over here.
Shinobu Kocho: Mr. Purgatory, your owl is still far from being good enough.
Rengoku Makijuro: ...
Rengoku Makijuro was feeling very grateful at this moment. He was grateful that when he married Ruka, Ruka's family did not have so many powerful and difficult brothers and sisters. Otherwise, he thought Kyojuro's birth might have to be postponed for a few years.
As for Kyojuro...just think of it as...good things come to those who wait.
What else can he do?
Help your son to snatch his daughter-in-law?
Putting aside the issue that this daughter-in-law is a little bit special, can the father and son together break through Ahina's huge group of relatives and friends?
In terms of speed, Flame Breathing is not as fast as Snake Breathing and Insect Breathing. In terms of power, there is also Rock Breathing suppressing it. Then there is Water Breathing's Tomioka Giyuu who seems to have a strange interest in Aki. Kasumi Breathing's Tokito Muichiro and the Class A Ghost Hunter Tokito Ichiro are people Aki has always called his younger brother. The only ones left are Oto and Fuu. If they are asked to choose, he guessed that they will either help no one or choose to help Aki... In this way, both the father and son will have no chance of winning... So, don't bother with it, and let Kyojuro conquer those people of Aki one by one.
Kiyoki, unaware that a silent battle of glances could unfold in her cafeteria in just a few moments, brought the brewed iced coffee to Shinobu Kocho. Just as she was about to sit back down to eat, she suddenly realized that the half-eaten curry tempura rice bowl that had been placed across from Rengoku Kyojuro was gone!
"Kyojuro, have you seen where my rice went?" Qingxi changed the words on the tip of his tongue from "Because it's so delicious, Kyojuro, did you eat my portion?" to the above sentence after seeing that the other party had only finished one-third of the rice in the big bowl.
Rengoku Kyojuro blinked, his face full of innocence, then he turned his head and looked in the direction of the table farthest from him.
Qingxi was confused, so she turned her head to follow his action. After just one glance, the corners of her mouth twitched.
She saw that the half-eaten bowl was placed right in front of Beimingyu Xingming. She turned her gaze and looked at everyone else, but each of them acted so well that she couldn't find out who had moved her bowl when she wasn't paying attention.
She lowered her head and looked at Rengoku Kyojuro. If she didn't find it, then he should have seen it.
Rengoku Kyojuro: I saw it, but except for myself, Kanroji and my father, everyone else committed the crime...
He was more worried that if he gave them all away now, they would try to interfere with his future dealings with Ah Xi.
Seeing Rengoku Kyojuro wanting to say something but holding it back with great frustration, Qingxi temporarily gave up on making things difficult for him.
She turned and walked to Beimingyu Xingming's table, sat opposite him, and finally quietly ate the curry tempura rice bowl that she had not finished.
