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

Chapter 22 The Girl in the Butterfly House

There were large amounts of foreign words mixed in, and both the prostitute Taro and the girl were confused and had no idea what the other was saying.

The man who came in was handsome, with long watermelon green hair that was extremely soft and fell to his waist. His green eyes were watery and clear like two mare's milk grapes, sparkling and lustrous, and full of vitality.

Jifutaro frowned: "You are..."

"My name is Guasheng." The man introduced himself. "You are new here, right? Excuse me, I have to entertain customers next door. Your piano playing is too bad, it will drive customers away. If you don't want Mommy to deduct your money, please leave now!"

This time, we can roughly guess the meaning of the English spoken by Guasheng by combining the context.

To put it bluntly, it means that they dislike him and want him to get lost.

Jifu Taro twisted his mouth, put down his zither, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to beat him. Suddenly, the soft and clear voice of Muzan rang in his mind -

"Gitarou, have you forgotten what I told you?"

The prostitute Taro's whole body suddenly stiffened!

"Yes... Master Muzan...

Master Muzan has been watching me the whole time..."

Wuzan's tone became increasingly gloomy.

"Gitarou, don't reveal your identity. Don't kill anyone without my instructions.

Study the piano with Mingnu and make money, do you understand?"

Having just been made to bleed from all seven orifices and have his internal organs ruptured by Muzan, Jifutaro had no room to refute Muzan's words.

He wasn't sure whether Muzan had been looking at him the whole time, and even after Muzan stopped talking, he was still unsure.

With no other options, Jifutaro looked at Uesugi unhappily and glared at him viciously.

——After all, Muzan can only see what he sees, and he has no idea whether he is threatening people with his eyes.

Moreover, with that glare just now, Jifutaro had already lost his mind. That was his last glare after he had suppressed all his urge to hit someone.

Uesugi put his hands on his hips, raised his head and glared back at Jifutaro angrily, then glared back at Mingnu.

Mingnu didn't care about these things at all. She just picked up the pipa calmly and asked Jifutaro: "Then Mr. Jifutaro, shall we go?"

"Hmph." Jifutaro snorted, picked up the piano, turned around and walked out of the practice room.

"There is a practice room at the northernmost end, so you should practice well!" Guasheng kindly reminded.

Jifutaro clenched his fists, but thought of Muzan's warning to him, so he could only tell himself that Lord Muzan was the most important.

He ignored the guy and went straight away.

……

"How about it?"

On the other side, the original owner, Muzan, looked at the female version of himself and smiled.

Wuzan had a manly smile on his face: "Your subordinates are very loyal to you."

"Yes, they are all my dogs. Now, they are your dogs too."

——This is really a case of “one dog with two uses”.

"Thank you for being so kind to me and leaving me such a great benefit. I will always keep you in my heart." Wuzan said casually.

Noticing that a strand of hair on the woman's forehead was a little messy, the original owner Wuzan reached out to help her tidy it up: "Don't use the same tricks you use on your guests on me. I know everything about you, from your hair to your toes. I know everything about you."

"Yes, yes, I know all that because of you..."

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting. If the original owner, Muzan, hadn't created so many aliases, she wouldn't have to act so hard...

As they were talking, the door of the room was opened from the outside.

"Xiao Wu," the person standing outside the door was Uzui Tengen, who was dressed in the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps, "I have already contacted them, and a member of the Hidden Corps will come to pick you up tomorrow."

"Oh, really? Thank you, Mr. Uzui." Wucan looked at him with a smile.

"How funny..."

As soon as Uzui Tengen arrived, a guy who was always showing off and pretending to be cool all day long instantly evaporated on the spot, like some kind of switch button.

The original owner, Muzan, is very miserable, and he is also a "socially phobic and miserable" person!

Uzui Tengen stood at the door, frowning slightly.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop on the girl talking to herself in the room, but he accidentally heard it and couldn't help but take it seriously.

Are you so happy to see me? Is it necessary to laugh like this?

Didn't he tell her that he already had a wife...

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and said earnestly: "Xiao Wu, maybe you saw too many greasy men when you were in the red-light district, and it's been too long since you saw someone as handsome and refreshing as me. You may not see anyone more handsome than me when you join the Demon Slayer Corps in the future, but as long as you lower your standards appropriately, you can still find your ideal husband. I wish you success!"

"Huh?" Wuzan was puzzled.

Uzui Tengen added: "I already have three wives..."

"Uh-oh." Wuzan nodded.

The other party's reaction was somewhat unexpected to him: "Aren't you surprised?"

“……” Muzan then remembered that Uzui Tengen had never mentioned that he had three wives.

When you hear something like this, it seems like you should be surprised.

To be honest, when she was reading the novel, she was quite surprised to know that Tengen Uzui had three wives.

Because the book was written during the Taisho period, and as far as she knew, Japan had abolished the concubine system during the Meiji Restoration, and all men could only marry one wife. If they wanted to have a relationship with a second woman, they had to either divorce and remarry, visit prostitutes, or have an affair.

I never expected that such dregs would still exist during the Taisho period.

But now, for her, this matter is something she has known for many years and she has long lost the stage of being surprised, not to mention that she has already given her reaction just now.

So Wuzan said calmly: "I think it's okay, it's the nature of men, otherwise you wouldn't have been staring at the red-light district. I can completely understand that you want to marry more concubines. If I were you, I would probably marry a hundred."

"What did you say? That's not why I'm staring at Huajie!"

What did she think he was? Some lecher?!

Everyone was surprised when they heard about the fact that he had three wives, but after the surprise was over and everything was explained clearly, everyone could understand the whole thing.

Why is it that she is the only one who seems to take it for granted that she likes collecting pretty girls!

"Alright, alright, I understand." Muzan waved his hand, wanting to end the topic quickly. "You're staring at the red-light district to catch ghosts. Even though you have three wives, and even though you're always staring at the oiran geishas, ​​you're a good man who doesn't cheat. I believe you."

"I don't want to spend money." Uzui Tengen looked at her speechlessly.

——But why did he feel that what she said just now sounded a bit strange?

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain!

When she goes to the Butterfly House, if everyone discusses this topic, then everything will be made clear.”

After all, it’s because he’s too handsome.

But it’s not his fault that he is handsome, and it is everyone’s instinct to like handsome guys.

Originally, I told her that I had three wives in order to tell her that my place was "overcrowded" and there was no way for her to go anywhere. But in her mind, it seemed that she liked playing "Jijile" anyway, so it was reasonable to have one more wife?

——The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

He thought he should talk to her as little as possible.

"Anyway, just stay here. If you need anything, you can call anyone here. Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow. I'm going to be busy now." Uzui Tengen finally told Muzan.

Wu Can nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, goodbye, I wish you success in catching the ghost."

With a "whoosh" sound, Uzui Tengen's figure disappeared from the spot, with the same speed as the disappearance of the original owner Muzan a few minutes ago.

After Uzui Tengen left, the figure of the original owner, Muzan, appeared again.

"How did you resist killing them?"

——He saw everything that just happened.

Every time the demon camp came into contact with the Demon Slayer Corps, if the Twelve Demon Moons missed killing a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, even if the swordsman's strength was almost zero, he would get angry and punish his subordinates with an internal organ rupture meal, and then repeatedly warn them that they must kill them all without leaving a single one alive.

Because whenever he saw the Demon Slayer Corps, he wished they would all explode on the spot.

And Xiao Wu could actually talk so peacefully with the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Seeing how they were living in peace, the original owner Muzan found it quite magical.

Wuzan curled his lips into a smile and slowly uttered four words: "Keep a calm mind."

The original owner, Wuzan, expressed his incomprehension: "I can't let it go."

"If you can't put it right, then stop talking and just disappear."

"You!" The original owner, Wuzhan, was so angry that his veins popped out and his sharp claws were pointed, but in the end he couldn't do anything when faced with her beautiful head that was so beautiful that it could shame the moon and the flowers.

Helpless, he had to withdraw his hand.

"You can't do anything to me anyway." He cleverly regained some psychological balance.

Muzan glanced at him and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes."

In this way, the two of them chatted idly in the room.

Time always passes quickly when we are chatting awkwardly, and before we know it, daybreak has arrived.

Due to Tomioka Giyu's prior notification, the person in charge of this matter in the Demon Slayer Corps already knew that Muzan suffered from skin disease, so they had to wait until the evening of the next day before those who came to pick him up arrived.

"Hello, I'm a hidden member of the Demon Slayer Corps, my name is Goto."

The man who first walked into Wisteria's House did not reveal his true identity. His entire head was covered with black cloth, leaving only two melon-seed-sized eyes exposed.

This is the inherent dress of the hidden members.

Wuzan also greeted: "Hello, my name is Xiaowu."

"And me..." A head wearing an orange butterfly hair accessory popped out of the door. "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Ishihara Aya, a member of the Ren-class team. Thank you for your guidance."

The girl was wearing a black Demon Slayer Corps uniform, and her hairstyle was a bit similar to Shinobu Kocho's, except that this girl had slightly inward-curling bangs in the front of her hair, and the butterfly hair accessory behind her head was much smaller than Shinobu Kocho's, making her look a little well-behaved and reserved.

The two of them also seem to have a clear division of labor - Goto is strong and is responsible for physical labor; Ishihara Aya has a certain level of fighting ability and is responsible for security guarding.

"Then please come with us." Goto said to Muzan.

Wuzan responded softly: "Okay."

……

It was dark outside the house. The slanted crescent moon looked like silver hidden in the ink mist, faint and just like when Muzan first arrived.

Now the development of the situation has become more and more bizarre because of my own arbitrariness. What will happen in the future?

——Nobody knows.

Ishihara Aya turned her head and carefully reminded: "Miss Wu, watch your step."

The roads in nature are different from artificial roads. Not only are they bumpy, but you can also step into puddles if you are not careful.

When Ishihara Aya said this, Muzan's foot happened to step on a protruding stone.

He was originally preparing to stand firmly in a magnificent manner, but Muzan suddenly remembered the delicate persona he had created in front of Tomioka Giyuu.

So she fell to the ground: "Hey——"

Ishihara Cai was quick to grab her and said, "Miss Wu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Wu Can smiled, "I've never left Flower Street before, and I've never walked on such a bad road. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"No, no, I don't mean to laugh." Ishihara Aya shook her hands and head awkwardly, fearing that Wuzan would misunderstand.

However, Muzan's level of pampering did shock her and Goto.

In the end, Goto acted as a means of transportation, carrying Muzan along the long journey...

……

A few hours later…

……

This is Muzan’s first time visiting the Butterfly House.

In her previous life, she had been to Ubuyashiki's mansion for the sake of the plot, but she had never been to any other place in the Demon Slayer Corps' base.

The Butterfly House appeared repeatedly in the novel, but she had never watched the anime, and no one had posted a picture of the Butterfly House in the novel reviews, so she had no idea what the Butterfly House looked like.

Now I finally see——

What caught my eye was a large area of ​​secluded and peaceful Japanese-style houses, with countless colorful butterflies dancing. A breeze blew over, bringing with it a faint fragrance that was refreshing.

How can this be a hospital? This is the Perfume Fantasy Dream Garden!

Two girls wearing butterfly hair accessories ran out of the house. One of them had a ponytail and a blue butterfly hair accessory, while the other had short hair with a green butterfly hair accessory on the left side.

Adding Ishihara Aya's hair accessories, it looks like the three of them are made as a set.

"Cai, is she the person you are going to pick up?" asked the girl with blue hair accessories.

"Yes, her name is Xiao Wu."

"Hello, Xiao Wu, my name is Kobayashi Reiya and her name is Sakuma Mika." The girl with green hair accessories introduced to Muzan.

Wuzan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Hello."

——I can’t remember, I really can’t remember.

But things like names, as you get to know them better, you will slowly be able to remember them.

First, she had to remember Ishihara Aya, as she had already used up all her strength. As for the next two, she thought, she should just secretly call them "Little Blue" and "Little Green".

But it was really strange, because the three of them did not appear in the novel. She remembered that the only girls wearing butterfly hair accessories in the Butterfly House were Shinobu Kocho herself, her long-dead sister Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho's stepson Kanao Kurika, the Butterfly House's manager Aoi Kanzaki, and the three sisters with big eyes.

The three people in front of me look like three sisters, but their eyes are not small.

"Is he just a passerby who wasn't mentioned in the book?

Or maybe…"

Muzan suddenly thought of a horrifying answer.

“Perhaps they were already dead at that time?”
