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

Tanjiro counted on his fingers and found that Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka were not participating in this pillar training.

"Is there something wrong..."

He made wild guesses.

At this moment, an explosive "crackling" sound was heard, which startled him so much that he almost screamed on the spot.

His crow opened its black beak and pointed at its raised feet with the tips of its wing feathers.

——A piece of paper was tied in a circle around its little ankle.

"Is it a letter?" Zenitsu scratched his head.

Tanjiro hummed, untied the string, spread out the letter, and took a quick look at it.

Xiyue was a little curious. She looked at Tanjiro's expression, which was sometimes relaxed and sometimes solemn, and asked, "What did the letter say?"

Tanjiro did not intend to hide it. He turned the letter over and showed it to Xiyue: "It was written to me by the lord. He asked me to persuade Mr. Yiyong and talk to him."

Xiyue understood: "It's because Mr. Tomioka refused to participate in the training..."

She knew that Giyu Tomioka had always had some kind of knot in his heart, but he kept it deep in his heart and was unwilling to reveal it to anyone.

Using the lord this time might be a good time to get him to open up.

After thinking for a while, Xiyue said to Tanjiro: "Tanjiro, you are the only one who can breathe the sun, and your identity is special, so you can just focus on training. As for persuading Mr. Tomioka, I will do these things for you."

"Eh?" Tanjiro was a little embarrassed, "But this is not a good idea, right? After all, this is a mission assigned to me by my master."

Xiyue smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I can let Cai and the others take my place, they know everything about training, I will arrange everything."

"That's it..."

Seeing that Xiyue insisted on doing so, Tanjiro didn't know what to say.

Xiyue is a pillar, a privileged person in the Demon Slayer Corps, and she has spent more time with Mr. Giyuu than herself.

It would probably be better for Miss Kujo to go than for me to go...

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

After instructing the team members on the training schedule with Ishihara Aya and the others, Xiyue set out for Yiyong's house in the evening with a nervous mood.

The night made the haystacks around the ridges of the fields look green, and the pond water also looked pitch black under the backlight, as if splashes could burst out of it at any time and a ghost could emerge.

In this terrifying and gloomy environment, Giyu Tomioka was standing in the center, becoming the most depressing focus of the whole scene.

Xiyue was delighted and ran towards him: "Mr. Tomioka!"

——She was still worried that Tomioka Giyuu would hide, but she didn't expect to see him so easily.

The wind caused by her running lifted the girl's golden hair on her shoulders. Her eyebrows were like leaves, and her eyes seemed to contain flower petals. She looked like a gorgeous and passionate sunflower.

The light was so bright that Yiyong couldn't open his eyes.

Yiyong frowned: "..."

(′-﹏-`;)

Xiyue was puzzled by Yiyong's reaction: "?"

(???.???)? ? ????

Strange, what's that expression on his face?

Yiyong's face was full of resistance. He turned his eyes away and looked elsewhere, leaving only the back of his head to Xiyue.

Xiyue had a question mark on her head. She quickly stepped forward and stood side by side with Yiyong, saying, "Mr. Tomioka, Xiaonin has already told me the reason why she didn't participate in the training. Can you tell me your reason now?"

Yiyong was silent for a moment, then said, "I've already said that."

"..." Xiyue thought about it for a moment and confirmed that Yiyong had not said anything that contained any information, so she continued, "But you didn't seem to explain it in detail."

"I did say that." Yiyong paused, "I'm different from you, that's it."

Jiu Tiao Xiyue: "..."

Not really, it shouldn’t be that…

Is it because of this that you keep people away from you?

But what about the loss she felt from Yiyong's heart...

Xiyue shook her head and continued to follow Yiyong without giving up.

"If I just keep following him, maybe he'll say something..."

she thought.

……

The two walked further and further away.

Xiyue had no idea where Yiyong was going.

Maybe he had a destination but he just didn't tell her; maybe he was also aimless and just wanted to walk around.

As we walked, the scenery on the left side of the road changed from grass and pond to dark green woods.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, and a purple figure walked out from them.

Xiyue immediately looked at Yiyong's expression, and she found that Yiyong didn't seem to know this handsome tall man.

The man was wearing a warrior suit, purple on top and black on the bottom, with long red hair tied up high behind his head, like the tail of a little red horse.

Her chest was startled and she straightened her back a little more.

“This man is so tall.

This aura is just like..."

Xiyue couldn't think of who she looked like for a while. She moved her lips and wanted to speak involuntarily, but the man opposite her spoke first:

"My Lords, have you ever seen my sister?"

"..."

The words Xiyue was about to say got stuck in her throat.

Yiyong asked expressionlessly: "Who is your sister?"

"My sister..." The man lowered his eyelashes, and his mind flashed back to the time when the charming woman whispered in his ear a few days ago.

"Kuroshibo, don't forget about your brother.

……

Have you forgotten? "

The woman's expression in the memory turned into anger.

——Ah, brother…

He just lost his younger brother four hundred years ago, and now he has to be the older brother again.

I'm really not used to the way common people address their elder brother in this era...

Kokushibo lied to the two people in front of him without changing his expression: "My sister is Xiaowu."

"..."

"Have you... seen her?"

"..."

Xiao Wu...

Xiyue clenched the corner of her clothes and looked gloomy.

Yiyong's originally calm expression also changed. He twisted his eyelids, stared at Kokushibo's face, and asked, "Who are you to her?"

"I am her brother." Kokushibo answered Giyuu's questions one by one.

He had clearly said just now that "Xiao Wu" was his sister. Could it be that this Demon Slayer Corps member couldn't infer the truth?

The Demon Slayer Corps of today are really getting worse with each generation. They don't even have the most basic logical relationship. Compared with the first generation who learned the breathing method, they are really far behind.

After finally hearing this name that he had been dreaming about, Yiyong was overwhelmed with emotions.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."

His face finally showed a somewhat approachable look.

……

After seeing the legendary brother that Xiaowu often mentioned, Yiyong stopped wandering outside and led Kokushibo and Xiyue into the house.

His home is very tidy, and all kinds of items are placed in order. And all these tasks are done by Yiyong himself.

After arranging the guests to sit down, Giyuu turned around and took out a makeup box from the second drawer under the cabinet against the wall. He then opened the small drawer under the makeup box and handed the contents to Kokushibo.

"She asked me to make this before. Now I'm giving it to you."

Kokushibo lowered his head and was shocked to see the pair of red and white Sunflower brand earrings. His whole body couldn't help but tremble violently!
