Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

At Horitake's command, the members of the Hidden Team began to light the fire. Soon, the fire spread, and a large amount of firewood and the entire house were burning.

The fire was raging, and the flames were soaring into the sky. Feeling the rolling heat waves coming towards them, the team members did not dare to get close for a while, for fear of being burned.

There were also team members who were conscientious and concerned about the surroundings, fearing that the surrounding mountains and forests would also be ignited. Fortunately, the weather was good today, dry and windless, and there were no trees in a large area around the house, forming a natural isolation zone.

The burning went smoothly, and Horitake also turned on the spiritual vision to check the situation.

Sure enough, the basement was also burned by the flames.

Although the plague enclosed in the basement leaked due to the burning, the plague was immediately engulfed by the high temperature fire as soon as it leaked upwards, and nothing was left.

Horitake discovered through the spiritual vision that the basement was engulfed by the fire little by little, and the red and black ominous aura there was also burned clean by the fire.

After confirming this, Horitake closed the spiritual vision with confidence and ordered the Hidden Team members:

"It's ok, the plague has been burned out, no need to add firewood to keep the fire going"

"yes!"

"Let the fire die out slowly, and be careful not to let it burn the forest. Finally, you must put out the fire completely without leaving any sparks!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Horitake was finally able to relax completely.

He leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, he remembered the doubt he had before, and called out the system in his consciousness, asking him through his mind:

"Dog system! Come out! I want to ask you, this is such a major event, but the mission was not triggered! ? Isn’t this a negative butterfly effect! ?"

The system spoke and explained to Horitake:

"Although this incident is serious, it is indeed not a negative butterfly effect."

"Are you kidding me? It’s not a negative butterfly effect, but a positive butterfly effect! ?"

"To be precise, this incident is not a butterfly effect at all!"

Hori Gaku was annoyed and his tone became unfriendly:

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not the butterfly effect? Such a major event is not in the original book, and it's not even mentioned. A major event that doesn't appear in the original book, and you tell me it's not the butterfly effect? "

Who knows, the system asked Horitake:

"Host, are all the things that did not appear in the original story the butterfly effect? "

This question stumped Horitake, who instinctively wanted to answer yes, but after thinking about it, it seemed not to be.

The system continued to explain:

"Please note that when you travel to the world of Demon Slayer, the world you are in is a real world, not just a comic or an anime, but a real reality! The fact that this major event in Kusatsu County was not recorded in the plot does not mean that it will not happen.

In other words, even if the host did not travel through time, this event would still happen, but it would no longer be the host who would solve this event."

The system's words made Hori Gaku think deeply:

"In other words, whether I was involved or not, the incident in Kusatsu County would have happened and would have been resolved. Even if it was not something in the plot, it was also something in destiny, right?"

"Yes, the host understood it very well. The plot can be the fate of this world, but fate is not just the plot. Fate includes this plot."

Hori Gaku completely understood.

To put it bluntly, the incident in Kusatsu County was not recorded in the plot. It was something that would have happened anyway. He just happened to encounter and solve this matter.

Wait! Hori Gaku suddenly remembered something! He quickly asked the system:

"System! Although I traveled through time and space and changed my name to Horitake, this body belongs to Horitake after all. In the original novel, Horitake became a demon after meeting Kokushibo. This time I met Kokushibo, is it……"

The system confirmed Horitake's idea:

"Yes, since the host has inherited Gyougaku's body and identity, of course he has to bear some of his fate.

Gyougaku has only two most important destinies, one is to worship Kuwashima Jigoro as a teacher and join the Demon Slayer Corps, the other is to meet Kokushibo and become a demon.

The host has already gone through the first fate and changed it to a certain extent.

Just now, the host went through the second fate and did not become a demon, which greatly changed this fate.

In short, congratulations to the host, Hori Gaku will not be Gyougaku after all."

After listening to the system's explanation, Hori Gaku was shocked, and there was still a lingering surprise.

Hey! That's not right!

Hori Gaku realized that something was wrong and continued to ask the system:

"The timeline is wrong, isn't it? In the original work, Horitake met Kokushibo at this time? It seems not, right?"

Who knows, the tone of the system at this time has a sense of madness, it scolded Horitake:

"If you pay too much attention to details, you will lose! What does it matter if the time is earlier? ? Anyway, Xiaoyue will become a ghost sooner or later, sooner or later! You don’t want to become a ghost sooner or later, and sooner or later you won’t become a ghost!"

"Uh... well, it doesn't really matter if it's earlier or later.

But there's still a question, this time when I faced Kokushibo, I wasn't turned into a demon by him, did this change my fate?"

"Yes"

"If it's such a big deal, why didn't the task get triggered?"

"Because you triggered a positive butterfly effect this time!"

The system's voice was so reasonable that Hori Gaku felt guilty.

Come to think of it, since he hadn't turned into a ghost, the things that would change in the future would definitely be a series of good things, which would trigger a positive butterfly effect, and of course the task would not be triggered!

Scratching his head, Hori Gaku compared himself to the system in his heart.���Thumbs up:

You are awesome, you can do it, you gave me a perfect explanation, everything is rounded up.

(Haha! This bug was rounded up by the author! I don't know how many brain cells I spent! Although the rounding is a bit rough, but at least it is rounded up!)

(It's not easy!)

Through the consultation system, Horitake understood everything and felt relieved.

He supported the tree trunk, slowly stood up, and said to Shinobu Kocho next to him:

"Sister Shinobu, the key things have been completed, and the remaining fire-fighting and finishing work will be handed over to you."

Kimaru Shinobu was surprised:

"What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?"

Horitake asked with a smile, and pulled Mitsuri up from the other side:

"Of course we have to go back to Kusatsu!

We finally came to Kusatsu, but we just strolled around and ate something during the day, and we were delayed for a whole night by these bullshit. It's too much of a loss.

Now that everything is done, of course we have to make up for it and go back to Kusatsu to continue resting and enjoying.

By the way, let's confirm the situation in Kusatsu County. Of course, enjoying the hot springs is the most important thing."

Hearing Horitake's blunt words about enjoying the hot springs, Shinobu Kocho's face turned a little red, not sure if it was because of embarrassment or anger. She stretched out a slender jade finger and accused Horitake:

"Horitake-san, you are not doing your job properly. You are being lazy. Be careful or I will tell the lord about this.

Horitake said nonchalantly:

"It's okay, Shinobu. It's okay for the two of us to take a break and relax. I believe the master will understand us. After all, we have been killing demons for two consecutive months. The Demon Slayer Corps calls me a workaholic.

Eh? Otherwise, Shinobu, why don't you come with us? Let's take a hot spring bath together to relax?"
