Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Horitake successfully distracted Mitsuri Kanroji, and she listened quietly to Horitake's explanation:

"I use the Breath of Thunder. Only the lightning released by the Breath of Thunder can be directed to the ground to attack the ghosts underground.

Think about it, besides the Breath of Thunder, what other breathing methods can attack underground?"

Mitsuri was stunned.

After thinking about it carefully, she found that it was indeed the case. Apart from the Breath of Thunder, other breathing methods could not attack underground at all!

After understanding this, Mitsuri was frightened and a cold sweat broke out on her head.

Hori continued to explain:

"Nothing is absolute. A pillar-level swordsman can cut the ground with all his strength, attack the demons underground, and save you.

However, where can we find the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps in Fujiki Mountain?"

Mitsuri was still in shock.

Following this line of thought, it was indeed a blessing in disguise for Mitsuri to meet Horitake who saved her, because there was no one else in the entire Fujiki Mountain who was capable of saving her.

Seeing that Mitsuri was frightened, Horitake breathed a sigh of relief.

If this girl realized that he had been following her, her favorability would definitely plummet.

Now that Kanroji Mitsuri has been rescued, the mission should have been completed, right?

Horitake called up the system to check the mission.

What surprised Horitake was that this mission was still hanging on the system and showed as incomplete.

Mitsuri has obviously been rescued, right?

Could it be that Mitsuri must pass the final selection before this mission is considered completed?

Or... must the ghost just now be killed?

Wait!

Thinking of the underground ghost just now, Horitake felt vaguely uneasy. He always felt that something had been overlooked, and this matter could cause a lot of trouble if he was not careful.

Horitake sat on a branch, meditating and thinking... underground ghost... underground ghost? Underground ghost!

""No! This ghost is wrong!"

Horitake muttered to himself, his face quite serious.

His serious tone also startled Mitsuri next to him:

"What's wrong, Lord Horitake?"

"Mitsuri, there's something wrong with that burrowing ghost just now! Very wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"The strength is wrong! This underground ghost is quite powerful, and with his evil blood ghost technique, he shouldn't appear in Tengxi Mountain! And he shouldn't appear in the final selection! It

's impossible for the swordsmen who want to participate in the selection to deal with such a ghost!

He is much more troublesome than the hand ghost!

I suspect that he is not a ghost captured alive in Tengxi Mountain, he may be a ghost from outside Tengxi Mountain!"

"How is that possible?"Miri subconsciously retorted:"There are wisteria flowers blooming at the foot of Tengxi Mountain. How could this ghost break through the wisteria flowers and enter?……"

At this point, Mitsuri's eyes widened.

Mitsuri also discovered this blind spot, and also discovered this loophole!

This ghost can burrow underground! He can sneak underground, which means he can avoid the wisteria flowers on the ground and enter and exit Fujiki Mountain at will!

Horitake began to speculate along this line of thought, and the more he speculated, the more frightened he became:

"The underground ghost can enter and exit Fujixi Mountain at will by burrowing underground, which means that he is most likely a ghost outside the mountain.

So why did he come to Fujixi Mountain?

To eat people!

For a ghost, eating a strong swordsman will definitely increase its strength more than eating ordinary people.

If he continues to eat, when he grows to the level of the 12th ghost moon, coupled with his evil blood ghost art, and his ability to burrow underground during the day,……"

The more Mitsuri thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"By then, there will be no one to save this ghost!"

Mi Li stood up and said anxiously:

"This demon is too dangerous and must be completely eliminated before he grows up!

I must report this to the Demon Slayer Corps!

Damn it! The final selection is in progress and I can’t contact the Flame Pillar!

What should I do? Should I give up this selection and leave Fujikiyama to report?"

Mitsuri was unable to make a decision for a while.

Just when she decided to give up this final selection, Horitake stood up, reminded and comforted Mitsuri:

"You don't have to give up this final selection, and you don't have to leave Fujikiyama. I have a way to tell the Demon Slayer Corps about this."

"any solution?"

"Mitsuri, have you forgotten? There are twins at the torii gate at the foot of the mountain? They are the two who hosted the final selection this time."

Mitsuri suddenly realized:

"That’s right! Since they can host the final selection, they should also be members of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"Not only that." Horitake revealed to Mitsuri mysteriously:"The twins are not only members of the Demon Slayer Corps, they are also the daughter and son of the Demon Slayer Corps' chief, Yashiki Yoshiya!"

"What!? The Lord's children!? No, they are clearly two girls? How can they be the Lord's daughter and son?"

"No, no, no, the one with white hair is a girl, and the one with black hair is a boy"

"Eh!?"

"That's true. This is the tradition of the Ubuyashiki family. Because the boys in their family are born weak, they will be raised as girls until they are thirteen years old."

Mitsuri was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

But Horitake continued to reveal the news, and led Mitsuri's thoughts in a different direction:

"How is it? Isn't that little guy cute? He doesn't look out of place in women's clothing, and you can't tell he's a boy at all.

Based on the current appearance of this little guy, you can guess what the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps looked like when he was a child. Ubuyashiki Yoya must have looked a lot like his son when he was a child!

Equally beautiful, the same kimono, the same women's clothing, the same lipstick, the same dress……"

"Ah! Horitake, don't say that anymore!" Mitsuri blushed, covered her head and shook her head, her pink braids flying on both sides:"Don't destroy the image of the lord in my mind! Ah!"

But how can one control such things as thinking?

The result is that in Mitsuri's mind, the image of the elegant and peaceful lord completely collapsed!

Horitake looked at the somewhat confused Mitsuri with a bad smile.

Don't get me wrong, Horitake doesn't have any special hobbies for shota or women's clothing, he just can't help but want to tease Ubuyashiki Kakuya, and by the way, he wants to tease Mitsuri.

Sure enough, Mitsuri's reaction was too cute.

Horitake stood up, stood on a branch and looked at the setting sun, his attitude became serious:

"Okay, let's get back to the point. The news about the underground ghost must be passed on to the Demon Slayer Corps in a timely manner. I will go down the mountain and go to the Torii to tell the siblings about this."

Mitsuri also became serious:

"I'll go with you!"

Hori looked at Mitsuri with a blank expression, and suddenly said:

"Are you sure you want to go with me? Are you sure you don't want to see the young master of the Lord? Are you sure you don't want to guess what the Lord looked like when he was a child through this young master?"

"Ahhhh! Dirt! Horitake!"

Mitsuri's face turned red again, steam came out of her head, and she kept scolding Horitake.

""Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll go down the mountain now. Mitsuri, if you want to come with me, come on. Just in case, let's walk on the trees instead of on the ground." After saying that, Horitake quickly jumped between branches.

Mitsuri was embarrassed and annoyed for a while, and hurriedly followed, muttering:

"Really! I didn't go there for that kind of thing!"

The two of them quickly went down the mountain, and at the moment the sun set, they arrived at the torii platform in the wisteria forest.

Under the torii, the Ubuyashiki brother and sister, wearing the same kimono and the same clothes, were lighting the lanterns in their hands. When they saw Horitake and Mitsuri coming down the mountain, they had a misunderstanding:

"You two, tonight is the last night of the final selection. If you go down the mountain at this time, it is equivalent to withdrawing from the final selection. Are you sure you want to withdraw?"

Hori Gaku shook his head and told the story of the underground ghost to the Ubuyashiki siblings.
