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

Sweet dream, sweet dream, she wants to have it too.

But there is no love in her dreams.

As agreed before, Muzan accompanied Tanjiro to practice Fire God Kagura for the whole morning.

Tanjiro also asked Muzan why he wasn't wearing earrings, to which Muzan didn't explain much, but simply answered with a halfhearted "I'm not used to it".

——Although perfunctory, it is reasonable.

"It seems that this is Tanjiro's current level."

Muzan thought again that Tanjiro admired her so much that he even dreamed about her, so before leaving, she said to Tanjiro seriously:

"Tanjiro, I have to leave eventually."

"Okay, see you next time!" Tanjiro waved to Muzan desperately and smiled happily.

"..."

Wuzan curled his lips and turned away.

-----------------------------------

Are we people in dreams or lives in shadows?

Muzan only knew that in the past few years, she had been living in sobriety and being sober while living.

Unable to truly die, unable to truly break free from the cycle of reincarnation, everything seemed to be a curse on her.

Can't escape, can't sleep.

However, there is still one person in this world who can allow her to escape temporarily——

The soles of her shoes stepped on the luxurious cashmere carpet, and the wind chimes hanging at the door made a "ding ding" sound. She saw at a glance that there was a broken hand in a conspicuous glass cabinet at the entrance, and there was an eye on the hand, with the words "xia" and "yi" written on the eyeball.

"Lord Muzan..."

The slippery voice "leads" out a handsome man.

And she was very familiar with that man.

Muzan walked up to the man and looked up at him: "Nightmare, I want to dream."

——No extra words, just make your request directly.

Nightmare sighed happily at Muzan's beauty and replied, "Yes, as long as it is what Master Muzan asks for..."

Whatever it was, he would do it.

……

The dream demon's hypnosis was indeed effective. With his own consent, Muzan soon fell into a deep sleep.

She dreamed about the past again.

In her dream, she was the big star wearing the golden and purple robes again. She was producing one work after another and learning one skill after another step by step.

The internet was full of hot searches and praises about her. She carried the flowers and applause, looking up, at the trophy that belonged to the best actress.

That was something she had always wanted.

Her high heels made crisp sounds as they stepped on the long stairs. If she took one more step up, she would be able to get it.

However, the hand that had been stretched out was retracted.

"Ka-ka-"

There was a sound of glass breaking, and she looked up, only to be confronted with the nightmare in the illusion.

From her perspective, she should be able to see nothing. All she could see was the empty ceiling of the venue.

Nightmare wondered how Lord Muzan discovered that he was in a dream.

He had been standing by her side and watching her carefully, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

"Master Wuhan?"

he called softly.

The dream was completely shattered. Muzan opened his eyes from the bed and looked into the bright turquoise eyes of Nightmare.

"How long did I sleep?" she asked.

Nightmare shook his head: "Only five minutes."

"Really? It feels like hours here."

"In dreams," Nightmare said, "time goes much slower than in the real world."

"The real world... huh..."

I wonder where her "time" has gone in the real world?

Having stayed in the world of books for too long, she could hardly figure out which side was "reality".

The original name has gradually become unfamiliar, but the five words "Kizan Kibutsuji Muzan" have become more deeply and clearly engraved.

If it was that “very miserable” or the nightmare in front of us, it would be fine, they are all born bad guys, but what about the people in the Demon Slayer Corps?

They are obviously all good people, but unlike what is written in the book and liking the kind-hearted Xiyue, they actually like her.

She will eventually leave this world...

"Master Wuhan?"

Seeing Wuzhan stunned for a long time, Yanmeng called her tentatively.

Wuzan looked at him.

"Lord Muzan." Nightmare lowered his head meekly, "I am always at your service. I can do anything for you, even at the cost of my life."

——So, don’t be stingy in using him.

"Then I want you to take good care of your life." Muzan touched Nightmare's soft hair.

She originally thought that her appearance would not make much of a difference to the ending. Just like many time-travel novels with known plots, history would go on as usual and no one could escape the shackles of fate.

But now, because of her misbehavior, she has taken away all the roles from the heroine of the original book.

She did not forget the ending of the book, and how the rest of the characters lived after Xiyue's death in the extra chapters.

In order to highlight the charm of the heroine, the author wrote that all the male protagonists remained unmarried throughout their lives. Shigeya, Giyuu, Tanjiro and others were all immersed in the pain of Xiyue's departure all day long, and finally died of depression.

In short, no one who likes Xiyue has a good ending.

And now, she, Muzan, has replaced Xiyue. So when the day comes that she leaves, I wonder if these people will become like what is written in the book?

Although they are all paper figures, they always feel that they have committed a great sin...

"Nightmare, let me ask you." Wuzan lifted Nightmare's chin and asked seriously, "Do you like me?"

"...Huh?!" Nightmare's chest jumped suddenly, "I... In this world, the person I love most is you, Master Muzan. Nothing can surpass your position in my heart, including my own life."

"..."

These things about nightmares are the same as what is written in the book, and do not destroy the character's setting.

So she asked again: "What will you do if I am gone one day?"

After hearing this, Nightmare's eyes were suddenly filled with gloom: "What? This is impossible, because if Master Muzan is gone, then all the demons in this world will die with him."

“Muzan-sama is not here… This is really too scary. I feel so painful just imagining it. It’s the most horrible nightmare…”

Nightmare's voice came into Wuzan's mind word for word.

"What if you don't die?" Muzan made a hypothesis.

Nightmare's eyes were blank, and after a moment, he slowly said: "If this is the case, then I will make those who hurt Master Muzan sleep in nightmares forever."

"……I see."

Although the answer to the nightmare is completely different from the endings of the Demon Slayer Corps members in the book, in the final analysis, they all revolve around the "central character".

If this is the case, then let's end it all quickly before our relationship reaches its peak.

After all, she had been delayed here for too long.

"Nightmare, we should go to the next stop."

she said softly.

Nightmare asked, "Where is the next stop?"

The long road was accompanied by a lighthouse that flickered on and off, and a blurry picture appeared before her eyes.

It seemed like a previous life, but also like a dream.

She looked in a direction she was not sure of.

"Next stop, the Infinity Train."
