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

Yoshiichi...

Why did Lord Muzan want to do things for Yoriichi? Wasn't he also very resistant to Yoriichi?

Kokushibo thought again of the time when Muzan took the initiative to learn about the Breathing of the Sun. He really couldn't figure out Muzan's thoughts.

The item was already in front of him, and Kokushibo had no choice but to take the pair of sun earrings. As if the two painted suns were hot, Kokushibo's hands shook uncontrollably when he touched the earrings.

He struggled to fit the two thin rectangles into his pocket.

He decided that as soon as he had the chance, he would throw the thing away.

——No, he would use the breath of the moon to chop it into pieces and throw it into the gutter to rot and stink!

Seeing Kokushibo's heavy expression, Xiyue couldn't help but feel deeply sad.

This handsome man was already worried about his sister's disappearance, and now that he has to tell the truth, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it.

But she still had to tell the truth—

"This sir, Xiao Wu she..."

Xiyue frowned and slowly told the story of how Xiaowu was kidnapped by a ghost and how she herself turned into a ghost.

In order to calm the other party, Xiyue also emphasized that Xiaowu was unharmed throughout the whole process, and that the Demon Slayer Corps had a member with an extraordinarily sensitive nose, who smelled at the time that Xiaowu had never eaten anyone.

Kokushibo nodded, calm and composed: "Yes, that's why I came here."

Giyuu's expression straightened up a little, and he heard Kokushibo continue,

"I've been looking for my sister, and I finally found some information recently. I heard that there is a ghost near the Infinite Train, who always holds humans hostage and uses them to have sweet dreams as bait. So I guess that Xiao Wu was turned into a ghost by that ghost."

"That's about it." Xiyue agreed.

Yiyong, who had been silent and only listened, suddenly looked up and asked, "What are your plans after that?"

——It was obvious that this question was directed at Kokushibo.

Kokushibo was stunned and subconsciously wanted to frown, but then he realized it was not appropriate to frown at this time.

As he swayed left and right in a tangled manner, his eyebrows flew up and down, back and forth, like dancing ribbons.

——Ask him what his plans are, how would he know?

All his actions were carried out according to Muzan's orders.

He didn't even know what Muzan was trying to do.

His sister being kidnapped was not a good thing no matter how he thought about it. But he really couldn't sympathize with her, and he really didn't know what expression he should put on at this moment.

Unable to even pretend, Kokushibo simply had a blank expression like Giyuu, and spread his hands to express his helplessness: "This happened too suddenly, it's really too bad."

——His tone was calm, as if he was talking about someone else.

"..."

The two people in front of him looked at him subtly.

"However," Kokushibo changed the subject slightly, "I believe in Xiaowu. She can definitely defeat the evil spirit and herself."

"..."

The two of them looked a little more relaxed.

Xiyue rubbed her chin with her knuckles and couldn't help but look at Kokushibo seriously again.

This man's demeanor was really eye-catching. Even if he did nothing but sit quietly here, he was already very noble. He looked like a phoenix and a dragon, with a swallow chin and a tiger neck. When he spoke, he was quite mature and steady, like a noble man from ancient times.

Thinking back to when the Kujo family had not yet declined, the young masters in the family were probably like him.

Xiyue couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards Kokushibo. She asked, "I'm sorry it might be a little rude, but what do you do mainly, sir?"

Work is the easiest thing for people to see through. Kokushibo thought for a moment and replied, "I am just a wanderer, not worth mentioning. You don't have to worry about it."

In the "setting" given to him by Muzan, he has been looking for his sister since he rescued "Xiao Wu" from the red-light district. He has been traveling to many places and doing odd jobs to maintain short-term expenses. He does not have any long-term job.

Xiyue nodded thoughtfully: "I see."

——Xiao Wu has an indescribable nobleness about her body, perhaps this is something she inherited from this brother and sister.

The dim light became dimmer and dimmer, and the skin color of the three people became darker and darker, and they could hardly see each other's faces.

Yiyong stood up and replaced the lamp oil in the lamp on the table.

Replenished with new strength, the oil lamp flickered, illuminating the entire room proudly like a seedling growing wildly.

Kokushibo stared at the oil lamp that was shining again, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a person named 'Muichiro' in the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"How did you know him?" Xiyue was surprised.

Kokushibo couldn't tell the truth about this matter, so he continued to use the cover he used before: "As far as I know, the boy named Muichiro might know something about Xiaowu."

——Anyway, the purpose of all his actions is for Xiao Wu, so it’s not wrong to attribute everything to Xiao Wu.

Hearing Xiao Wu's name again, Yi Yong shuddered slightly: "Xiao Wu?"

Shi Tou...actually knows something about Xiao Wu?

But Tokito seems to have lost his memory...

Thinking of this, Yiyong's eyes dimmed a little more, "Tokito is a very talented boy, different from me."

“……” Xiyue let out a breath helplessly.

It's this sentence again...

Every time he said this, Fuzugawa and Iguro would get angry with him.

Yiyong continued, "I, did not pass the trial."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiyue's eyes suddenly became solemn.

Kokushibo actually didn't have much interest in Giyu's growth journey, but several people were sitting at a table having a long talk under the lights, and he was now playing the role of Xiaowu's brother, so it was not easy for him to put on a cold attitude or just ignore him and leave. He had to sit upright and listen to him quietly.

Yiyong still looked dazed: "I was rescued on Fujiki Mountain. But the boy who saved me, Xuntu, died there.

"He was a fellow disciple of my age. We quickly became friends during our training. Xuantu was really strong. On Mount Fuji, he killed almost all the ghosts by himself, but at the end, he collapsed due to exhaustion. And someone like me was attacked and seriously injured as soon as I entered the mountain. I didn't even kill a single ghost, but I passed the test.

"So, someone like me is not qualified to be a pillar. The Water Pillar should be the position of the Rabbit."

He looked at Xiyue, "I can't be compared with you, whether it's Shi Tou or Xiao Wu...

"I am only temporarily filling in as the Water Pillar, so I cannot participate in the Pillar's instruction this time."

"How could this happen..."

Is this why Mr. Giyuu doesn't want to participate in the Pillar training? Did he just tell her...

Although Xiyue didn't know the young man named Xuantu, she still felt sorry for him.

No wonder Mr. Giyuu has been brooding over it but is unwilling to speak out. If Santo were alive, he would be a man as reliable and strong as Kyojuro.

Kokushibo also listened carefully to what Giyuu said. He looked at the dim light and commented from the bottom of his heart: "You have been training for more than one or two years, but you can't even pass the first test. Excuse me, you are indeed not qualified to be a pillar."

"Sir!" Xiyue's whole body was broken, and she tried her best to wink at Kokushibo.

If they were not unfamiliar with each other, she would have wanted to cover his mouth!

This is Mr. Yiyong's inner trauma. Xiaowu's brother is upright, but he can't say that.

Kokushibo was still sitting upright.

——He didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Each of these people was so weak that he didn't want to talk. It was too ridiculous that they couldn't even pass the first level, let alone let them compete with his disgusting brother.

If you want to become strong, you have to work hard to climb, practice, and constantly improve yourself, instead of gathering with a group of rabble and complaining about yourself.

"Yes." Giyuu looked at Kokushibo, "You think so too."

"..." Kokushibo didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

"But..." Xiyue asked unwillingly, "Whether it's temporary or permanent, since I'm in the position of Water Pillar, then the training of the Pillar...

"Are you here because of the boy named Xuantu or because of Xiaowu?"

——Mr. Yiyong’s idea of ​​doing his job well has never changed, and he has never neglected his duties before.

When he decided to say these things just now, he thought about it carefully and analyzed it. It might be because he heard Xiao Wu's name...

Yiyong did not directly answer Xiyue's question. He just said softly, "I know, Xiaowu didn't mean it."

“…Huh? What do you mean?” Xiyue didn’t understand.

Yiyong did not answer.

Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, he stood up calmly, turned his back to them, took a step forward and walked forward.

He actually went straight to his room...

The only ones left on the guest table were Xiyue and Kokushibo's two heads, one yellow and one red. The two sat together, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Xiyue felt a little helpless——

How can a host suddenly go back to his room and leave the guests sitting in the living room staring at each other? (????)
