Demon Slayer: The Demon King is actually a weak girl?!

Returning to the "stupid room" with full of anger, Shimi carefully examined the surface and found that Xiaowu had taken everything very cleanly, leaving nothing behind.

Unable to describe his mood for a moment, he sat on the chair, staring at the empty table in a daze.

drawer……

The drawer must be completely empty, without even a mothball left...

He reached out and opened the drawer, only to see that it was indeed empty. However, there was only one blood-red hairpin that stood out.

He remembered that he had given it to her personally during the summer fireworks festival...

……

It was a hot summer night.

It happened that he hadn't received any mission that day, but Xiao Wu said she wanted to go out to join in the fun because there would be fireworks. So he and Xiao Wu put on yukatas on the pretext of maintaining public order, and the two of them went to the fireworks party together.

He also met many acquaintances that day.

Iguro and Kanroji also made an appointment to watch the fireworks. When they saw him and Xiaowu, they were quite embarrassed. There were also Rengoku and Kujo. In short, they were all one man and one woman, one pair.

But when they met, Jiu Tiao said that she just happened to meet Rengoku, because Butterfly Sister had an appointment with her, but she unexpectedly broke up with her. Rengoku also said that he actually came out with his brother, and his brother went to the side to catch goldfish and saw Jiu Tiao, so he walked with Jiu Tiao and talked to her.

In fact, Shimizu didn't care about their explanation.

He had no interest in what happened between Purgatory and Kujo.

But Xiao Wu was interested. After walking away from them, Xiao Wu kept sighing and saying something like "I hope it's not a bad fate." He asked her what she meant. Didn't Purgatory and the others say that they just met by chance?

However, Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with gold, and he said to him in an unfathomable way: "On such a romantic festival, a man and a woman are walking together, talking and laughing. Who would believe if they said there was no affair?"

Shimi raised his eyebrows. He felt that Xiaowu's idea was too gossipy. When he and Xiaowu walked together, he suddenly realized that he and Xiaowu were also a single man and a single woman walking together.

Not only do they walk together, they also live together!

However, it seems that they do not fully meet the condition of "talking and laughing" at the moment. Because they "talked" and "laughed", but he always sneered with disdain, and there was no normal smile at all.

Thinking of this, he tried to smile softer and lighter, and at the same time checked Xiao Wu's expression. But what he saw was Xiao Wu's blushing and shy smile, like a blooming crabapple flower.

Seeing her like this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Wow, it's released, it's released!" The girl's smile widened, and the discomfort just now disappeared, "Master, look!"

She pulled the sleeve of his bathrobe and shook it left and right, and raised her other hand high, pointing at the clusters of flowers that exploded in the night.

The fireworks made her face yellow, red, and purple.

Her eyes sparkled, as bright as the most precious rubies in the dark night.

He also looked up at the fireworks.

In fact, it was not the first time for him to watch fireworks, but he had not been so happy for a long time.

After watching for a long time, he felt that there was nothing interesting, because the fireworks were almost repetitive. Shimi went to see if there were other tourists who had the same idea as him, and whether everyone was like Xiaowu. As a result, he turned his head and saw the nearest vendor selling some beautiful hairpins.

Among those hairpins, there was one that he felt was particularly suitable for Xiao Wu.

He took three or two steps forward and bought the hairpin in one go. He knew the price was too high but he was too lazy to even bargain. He went back to Xiao Wu, hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to give the thing away.

Finally, he awkwardly hit her on the head and cursed, "Your headdress is so ugly and artificial. I get annoyed when I see it."

"..."

"Use this."

He stared straight at the fireworks exploding in front of him and carefully handed the thing in his hand to her.

Xiao Wu didn't say anything. She took it obediently and silently took off the headdresses on her head one by one, as if she was afraid that it would be an eyesore to him.

"Master~" Her voice sounded a little coquettish and charming, which made him unable to help but look at her, "There is no mirror here, it is not easy for me to wear it."

He was serious.

She said it’s hard to take care of, right? If that’s the case, well, there’s nothing we can do.

He picked up the hairpin, and his fingertips touched her soft palm, but only for a moment. The hairpin was very light, but it felt like a thousand pounds in his hand. He was a little at a loss, looking left and right, and carefully inserted the hairpin into the big bun behind Xiao Wu's head.

The fireworks continued, making the red peony on her head look even more colorful. The pearl tassels hanging down from her head shone with a crystal luster, swaying as she looked back.

She smiled so beautifully that it seemed to make the colorful fireworks lose their color...
