Chapter 183
What should I do if the kids at home are disobedient?
Regarding this issue, Qingxi feels that he has a lot of experience to share with others.
For example, don't do anything else for 24 hours a day, just move a small stool into the ward and sit there to watch people or something.
Even if she occasionally needs to go out to do something else, she will ask someone to come and help watch over her for a while in advance, and she will leave only after the other party agrees.
She kept this habit until the four people in the ward got out of bed one after another, holding on to the auxiliary frame and walking slowly.
At this time, the hydrangeas in the yard outside the house were in full bloom.
"It has been confirmed that the courtesan at Kyogokuya in Yoshiwara is indeed called Warabihime."
In the front yard of the Crow House, the nine pillars gathered together for a rare occasion.
Uzui Tengen said to everyone.
"The only thing that is still uncertain is whether the other party is a ghost." His voice continued.
I can only say that the other party chose this profession very cleverly.
What is Yoshiwara?
Flower Street.
The busiest time of Flower Street is at night.
At that time, the lights on the road and in the surrounding buildings will all light up, like stars falling into the earth, driving away the darkness and making it as bright as day. At this time, the prostitutes will come out and sit in the windows, attracting people around them to stop for them, and finally walk into the house for them and spend money on them.
After a night of extravagance and decadence, when the surrounding darkness is dispelled by the rising sun, peace will return here.
At this time, Yoshiwara fell into silence after a busy night. Unlike the lives of ordinary people, daytime is the rest time for everyone here.
"However," he changed the subject, "every day there are one or two people trying to escape from Yoshiwara. Some are caught and recaptured, while others disappear without a trace. In those cases, no one would know whether they have escaped or been captured by ghosts who hide in some dark, deserted corner and eat them.
I personally think that Princess Warabi is an upper-rank demon.
Because it is said that Princess Warabi hates wisteria flowers so much that not only does she not touch them herself, but she also forbids everyone in Kyogokuya from using them for anything."
After summarizing the information he had collected, Uzui Tengen looked towards the other four pillars who were in good health and had intact limbs.
He didn't know where his lord got the news that the courtesan Warabihime of Yoshiwara Kyogokuya was an Upper Six, but, she was another Upper Six.
If he was solved, Muzan Kibutsuji would have lost another of his most trusted allies. So how could they not discuss such matters?
"What do you think?" he asked.
The others looked at him with strange eyes.
What could they possibly be thinking? Since they already knew the other party was most likely an upper-rank demon, why were they still wasting time here?
Of course they would wait until dark before attacking.
A few well-shaped characters popped up on Uzui Tengen's forehead. "I mean, who should we send? My lord said that there's a demon named "Brother" inside the body of that upper-rank demon. His combat power exceeds Warabihime's, and he also uses poison.
We've agreed in advance that as the god of the festival, I must be included this time."
"Then give me the last remaining spot." said Fuzukawa Minoru.
"I'll go," said Tokito Muichiro. "I don't have enough experience fighting upper-rank demons, but I could use some time to build up my skills."
Seeing the five pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps fighting over who would solve the Upper Six problem, Qingxi tilted his head, puzzled, "If you want to go so badly, why don't you all go together?"
As soon as she asked the question, everyone who was still arguing paused. Iguro Obanai was the first to speak up, "It's just an Upper Six. Even if they have two demons crammed into one body, we don't have to mobilize all the Pillar-level personnel above the second level."
"That's right." Fuzukawa Saneya responded, "At most they can only be considered two demons. They are not qualified to mobilize the remaining five pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Furthermore, excluding Upper Six, we still don't know where the remaining three demons, Upper One to Upper Three, are operating, so we must always conserve our combat power to deal with them."
Qingxi understood, "It's so important to save face."
"What do you mean by being too concerned about your reputation?" Fushigawa Shimada angrily corrected the girl, "Anyone who's not a fool knows this. This is a tactic, a tactic!"
Qingxi's sight that was facing Fushigawa Minoru was blocked as Rengoku Kyojuro slowly moved over with the help of a stand, and the momentum of the other party that was indiscriminately shooting at the people around him was also blocked.
The girl couldn't help but grin at the boy's silent way of protecting herself, but she soon remembered that everyone was still in a meeting, so she put away the smile.
Blinking at the boy with flaming hair, she leaned forward and said, "In that case, it's easy. If you're confident, we can ask Yakumo and the others to help with Yoshiwara's upper-rank demons.
Although they don't know how to breathe, they are sword masters and they understand everything on the battlefield.
I believe they will be a help to you, not a hindrance.”
"Huh? Are you willing to lend your people out?" Fuzukawa Minami said sarcastically.
Qingxi, who often heard this kind of talk, wasn't angry at all. She said matter-of-factly, "I don't force anyone. If Yaoyan and the others want to go out and kill demons with you, I'll just make some more amulets for them."
"In that case, how about the main combat personnel who go to Yoshiwara to deal with the Upper Six this time are all from your side?" Fuzukawa Minami asked provocatively.
"Okay." Qingxi nodded. Then, as if to counterattack, she said, "If you are worried, Master Fengzhu, you can assist me."
Fuzukawa Miya: "Tsk!"
Because the two of them were suddenly arguing with each other, it turned out that the sword man on Qingxi's side took over the task of going to Yoshiwara to deal with the Upper Six, so the Pillars didn't even have to argue anymore.
They couldn't say they knew the swordsmen's strength completely, but they had fought against them before, so the pillars on this side were very confident in their strength, especially in a situation where they were outnumbered by two.
But now they are arguing about something else.
"Well, that place is not suitable for girls to go there, so after we confirm the time to deal with Upper Six, Ah Xi, you don't have to go there. Stay in the Butterfly House and accompany me." Rengoku Kyojuro said.
"But, it's so rare." Qingxi was a little eager to try, "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't go there, right? I probably won't go there in my lifetime. Now that I have this unexpected opportunity, it feels a bit regrettable to miss it.
I heard that the girls there are all very beautiful, and each store has its own top-notch courtesan who is elegant, beautiful, funny, and considerate... I actually really want to experience communicating with a top-notch courtesan.
However, I heard that even if you spend a fortune on an oiran, if she doesn't want you, or doesn't like you, it's very difficult to have a meal with her. So forget about that, but I can still go there disguised as a man to look at other girls."
Seeing that her eagerness was about to turn into action, Rengoku Kyojuro quickly reached out and clasped her hands, suppressing all her thoughts.
"Aki, you are the best. You don't need to look at others." Rengoku Kyojuro said.
Yagen Toushirou continued, "If the general simply wants to admire beauties, Honmaru is also filled with beauties."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga leaned closer with his glowing white face and asked with a depressed look, "Yes, yes, am I not attractive enough? I actually make you want to cheat!!!"
"Behave normally." Seeing that things were getting increasingly out of control, Qingxi raised her hand and rudely pushed Tsurumaru Kuninaga's handsome face away. "I'm just going to take a look, not to mess around. Do you have to react so violently?"
"The most important thing is, I'm a woman. What are you worried about?" She raised her hand, which was held by Rengoku Kyojuro. "Are you worried that I'm gay? How is that possible? The legitimate one is still here."
Rengoku Kyojuro, who was suddenly openly acknowledged by the girl he liked, said: "..."
Heaven?
So happy.
Rengoku Kyojuro took the initiative and held Qingxi's hand even tighter.
Everyone: “…”
Are they watching the romance channel right now? Aren't they talking about ghosts right now?
"Master, since you are preparing to deal with the upper-rank demons, who are you going to send out?" Horikawa Kunihiro handed the cold tea he had just poured to the girl, and then calmly changed the subject.
Following the boy's words, Qingxi thought, "Logically, for slaying demons, the Buddha's sword, the demon-slaying sword, and the spirit sword are the most suitable. But——"
She looked like she had a toothache.
The swords she mentioned above are all katanas. Katanas are fine during the day, but their detection ability is not good at night. And the ghost they are killing now is a creature that is afraid of sunlight and can only go out at night.
"Speaking of light, the streetlights in Yoshiwara turn on at night, so it's not really dark then," Tsurumaru Kuninaga said. "Also, have you forgotten again? We don't have short swords at night. They're just good at spotting, not blind. Why do you always forget that?"
Her head was held by He and her hair was rubbed by him, as if she would remember it if he rubbed it for a while longer.
"Ouch, it hurts! I remember, I remember." Qingxi struggled, feeling her hair about to be ripped off. "In that case, the personnel going out are the short sword Yakugen Toshiro, the wakizashi Himen Aoue, the dachi Yamatakeri Kunihiro, the tachi Onimaru Kunitsugu, the tachi Jujumaru Tsunetsugu, and the tachi Daidenita Mitsuyo... If there are no problems, then that's it. Please contact the Honmaru and bring some sword equipment for you... I'll also give each of you three amulets."
Finally pulling Tsurumaru Kuninaga's claws off her head, she said with a hint of regret: "Actually, if the location wasn't in a densely populated area like Yoshiwara with a lot of buildings, I could have some explosives here.
You don't have to fight seriously at the beginning, just use explosives to attack the Upper Six first. If you can't kill them, you can at least disgust them to death. That's pretty good too."
"Master, if you have that kind of thing, shouldn't you save it for the final fight against the biggest boss? If you take it out now, it will give Muzan Kibutsuji the opportunity to prepare."
"Ah, speaking of biological weapons with great destructive power, I actually have one here." As if thinking of a very unpleasant picture, Qingxi grabbed the clothes in front of her chest with a distorted expression and looked like she was retching.
"Aki, what's wrong with you?" Rengoku Kyojuro, who was standing by, felt his heart tighten when he saw her like this.
Similarly, when the other people present saw her like this, they also became interested in the huge biological weapon she mentioned.
After the most disgusting feeling passed, Qingxi said to him with a very bad expression: "I'm fine, I just thought of some bad memories."
She took a deep breath, trying to relax herself and ignore the memory, but the feeling was that she wanted to retch again.
Looking at Qingxi's expression, Kocho Kanae sighed, "If I didn't know that you two, Aki and Kyojuro, wouldn't mess around, I would have really suspected that you were pregnant, Aki."
"How, how is that possible?" Qingxi was furious. "Sister Kanae, please don't make such jokes. It will cause misunderstandings."
"Hey, hey, I get it." Kanae Kocho covered her mouth to indicate that she would not say anything more.
"If it's a bad memory, Ah Xi, you don't have to tell it." Beimingyu said in the dark way.
"No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying it." Qingxi shook his head repeatedly without any hesitation.
Because she found that because of what Sister Kanae said, other people looked at her differently.
"It's a super smelly durian bomb." She covered her mouth and said with a look of discomfort. "You guys should know what kind of fruit it is."
"Is it that fruit that has a very strong and strange taste?" asked Shinobu Kocho. "I had the opportunity to try it once at Wisteria House while on a mission."
Shinobu Kocho looked like she had an aftertaste, and she definitely didn't want to try it again. "I think most women wouldn't be able to accept that taste."
Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief. If someone knew what that thing was, then it would be easier for her to talk to him next. "The stench of the super stinky durian bomb is a hundred times worse than the stench of ordinary durian you have ever smelled, Sister Shinobi.
It is a being that can rot the clothes you wear if you get close to it.
The extent to which the stench spreads... emmmm, as soon as I take it out, the stench will probably spread all over Japan, and it will not go away for a year or two.
...It's comparable to biological weapons. Do you need this kind of trump card weapon?"
Shinobu Kocho said in a cold voice: "I refuse."
Qingxi sincerely suggested: "In fact, if Muzan Kibutsuji brings out the Infinite City, we can not go in ourselves, but throw a super smelly durian bomb in. Then the huge stench will fill the entire Infinite City. As long as their sense of smell is not a problem, they should run out of the Infinite City.
Moreover, at the very least, they will not be able to use Infinite City as their gathering place for a year."
Everyone: “…”
Shinobu Kocho suddenly raised her hand and asked with a harmless smile, "I have a question." The girl's eyes were fixed on the girl, "What is Infinite City?"
Qingxi: “…” Oh no, oh no.
Why didn't she control her mouth and blurted out that?
Seeing that Ubuyashiki Kōya only mentioned Yoshiwara Upper Six to everyone, it means that for the time being, he is not ready to take action against Muzan Kibutsuji.
No, it should be said that it’s not that he doesn’t want to, but currently four of the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are seriously injured, and they are far from being the strongest combat force on this side.
Even if he didn't want the situation, which was already completely on his side, to tilt even a little bit towards Muzan Kibutsuji, giving him another chance to escape, he had to wait until the seriously injured people recovered and their combat power returned to its peak, and all the arrangements were confirmed again and again before launching a general attack on Muzan Kibutsuji.
Obviously, considering that some people in the Demon Slayer Corps were too aggressive, he did not tell this matter to anyone.
Thinking of this, Qingxi stood up and quietly retreated behind Yagen Toushirou and Daikurigara. It was over. She felt that this was not safe enough. She held Daidenta Mitsuyo, who was closest to her, in her left hand, and pulled Esetsu Samamonji behind her with her right hand.
Who wouldn't understand Qingxi when they see her like this?
Iguro Obanai flashed and disappeared on the spot, and the next moment, Daitenta Mitsuyo grabbed the hand that he stretched out to Qingxi to grab her.
The black-haired boy tutted his words, frowned, and asked, "What are you and the lord hiding from us?"
"My lord, do you already know the whereabouts of Muzan Kibutsuji? Why did you tell such an important thing to you, a person without any fighting ability, and not to us? Are you preparing something?"
The young man with long black hair that fell past his shoulders threw out questions one after another, leaving the audience completely unable to respond.
If there wasn't any intention to hurt anyone in his aggressive tone, the four men with swords who surrounded her would have probably held him back and prevented him from getting any closer.
Who is Qingxi? Would she be scared by his words?
In response to his three consecutive questions, she did not answer but said, "It's useless to say it now. The Demon Slayer Corps has only 90% of its main combat power left, only 4. Do you think you can kill Muzan Kibutsuji with such a strong force?
Or are you still thinking that you are not good enough and you still want to use the A-level players?
Now we are in the dark, and Muzan Kibutsuji is in the light. The enemy doesn't know that we know where he is. We have finally ended this war that has lasted for a thousand years. Do you want to continue the war for another thousand years because of your own impulsiveness?
Qingxi took a deep breath. "Shouldn't we lie low now? Those who are injured should heal quickly, and those who are not injured should find ways to improve their combat power. Once our combat power is restored to its peak, then it will be time for all of us to attack Muzan Kibutsuji?"
The blue eyes met those present, "It's almost time for the final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji. You should trust the lord a little more."
Having said that, Qingxi, who saw that Jiuzhu had endured his objections in his heart, brought up her proposal again.
"Seriously, do you want me to prepare a super stinky durian bomb? It might have an unexpected effect on Muzan Kibutsuji."
Everyone: “…” Forget it.
Although your suggestion seems to be good, it tastes 100 times more like durian.
Those who don’t know what durian tastes like can substitute the smell of shit, 100 times the smell of shit... If it is really thrown into the infinite city you mentioned, then will that infinite city still be good?
Or will it not be corroded, and then the "poison gas" will leak out, causing the entire island of Japan to be corroded, and this country will no longer exist on the earth?
That would be terrible.
He's just Muzan Kibutsuji, so there's no need to use weapons of that level of lethality.
"No need!" X All people
"We have so many people. Can't a group of us beat him alone?" Uzui Tengen said with disgust.
Absolutely, absolutely, I can't let Ah Xi use that disgusting, unglamorous, life-threatening ingredient. Ugh, is that still an ingredient? That's definitely a deadly poison.
I also want to live a long life with my wives after I get rid of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Iguro Obanai: "It's not worth it to let all of Japan be buried with Muzan Kibutsuji for him."
Fuzukawa Miya: "Hey, don't let that thing out."
Qingxi: "...Actually, the flesh is quite delicious. Would you like to try it?"
"I refuse!" X everyone.
Shinobu Kocho: "If possible, I would like to ask you for some of them, Aki. However, if I think about it, even a little bit of that smell will make people think in a bad direction. There is no other way, I can only forget it."
Speaking of this, Shinobu Kocho looked quite lost.
