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

In the novel, at the end of the final battle in Infinite Castle, when Shinobu Kocho died and became a revolving door, she did recall the fact that "her stepsons died one after another."

This is enough to explain that she had several step-children who died before.

The three people in front of us may be close to death.

"What a shame. These three beautiful girls are so pretty."

Muzan felt regretful in her heart, but to her, these girls were just tools used by the original authors.

In order to highlight the pain of losing their beloved disciple, the bravery of the Demon Slayer Corps also contrasts with the cruelty of their own side.

These have nothing to do with her. A work is supposed to have some twists and turns to stir up tears among the audience and readers and to create a tragic atmosphere. Whether or not to send out lunch boxes is up to the author.

She just wants to mind her own business.

"You can call me Xiao Wu, can I also call you by your names?" Wu Can smiled brightly, and his tone became more and more cautious, "You are the first girls I have contacted. Can I...be good friends with you?"

"of course!"

The three girls pulled Muzan inside with friendly smiles and showed her the direction of the room.

After passing through corridors, he finally stopped in front of a door.

"Xiao Wu, your room is here." Mika said.

Wuzan nodded: "Can I have a look around?"

"Of course, but we'll take you on a tour tomorrow. It's too late now, so you should go to bed early." Mika said as she walked into the house and turned on the lights.

Muzan glanced at the door of the next room curiously and found that all the doors in the row looked the same and each door was tightly closed. He wondered if there were also rooms inside that could be used for accommodation.

"It's probably close. There might be someone inside."

Wuzan guessed.

"Da da... da da..."

At this moment, a sound of footsteps, neither fast nor slow, came from far away.

Muzan's whole body tensed up, because in addition to the sound of footsteps, there was also a mixed smell that seemed to be a faint sweet fragrance, which was rare.

"That's the pillar, and the breath of rare blood."

In my sight, a hedgehog-head with ferocious eyes slowly appeared from the corner.

The man had silver hair like ice, and his jacket was also short and white. The front of his Demon Slayer Corps uniform was open, revealing a large area of ​​skin, as if he was showing off his well-developed chest muscles.

On the chest muscles, there were all kinds of scars deep into the flesh. Some of them looked quite old, while others were still dripping with blood, obviously caused today.

This person is too clear--

In his previous life, apart from the anime protagonist Tanjiro and the novel protagonist Kujo Shiozuki, he was the one who beat himself the most harshly.

He is none other than the Wind Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps - Fuzugawa Miyako, the second most powerful of all the pillars in the anime!

When he thought about how this man had chopped him up before, Muzan could no longer maintain his smile.

"Xiao Wu, come here quickly..."

The faint whispers of mosquitoes and flies were heard intermittently. Ishihara Aya and the others stood at the door, trying their best to wink at Muzan.

Don't turn a deaf ear to the tragedy.

The ferocious male Pillar-level soldier continued to move forward, and the distance between him and the girl in the flowery kimono was getting closer and closer.

Fushigawa Shigeya just noticed this woman who was dressed like an opera singer, and when they were about to pass by each other, he couldn't help but take another look at the woman.

Butterfly House has always admitted injured people for hospitalization, so there are all kinds of people here. As a frequent visitor to Butterfly House, he has long been accustomed to it.

But, this person seemed to be looking at me with some dissatisfaction just now?

Fushigi Miya looked into Muzan's eyes again.

The woman's posture was too weak, and the man's expression was too ferocious. The three girls were all frightened and pale. They ran to Muzan's side and bowed to Fuzugawa Shiya repeatedly: "Good evening, Fuzugawa-sama! Please take care, Fuzugawa-sama!"

"Huh?" Wuzan just turned his head to look at them, but was poked hard in the armpit by Kobayashi Ling.

"Xiao Wu, you should say hello too!"

"Uh..." Muzan was stunned for a moment, then said stupidly, "Good night, Master Busikawa."

Busei stood still and looked around at the four of them, his eyes falling on the uniforms of three team members.

When the three team members saw Busui Kawai, they trembled all over as if they had seen a tiger; Muzan, on the other hand, was not afraid of Busui Kawai and just looked back at him calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Fuzukawa Shiya's eyes widened even more -

Has the quality of the Demon Slayer Corps become like this now?

Not as good as an ordinary person like an opera singer?

“You’re so scared when you see me, if you see a higher-level ghost, wouldn’t you be killed instantly?

What on earth are these trainers doing?!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He frowned in displeasure: "A bunch of idiots..."

“……” The three team members trembled even more violently.

Muzan looked at him blankly, only to hear him stop talking about the swear word that was about to come out of his mouth and turn it into a simple "hmm".

"Strange, who is he scolding?"

But after Fuzugawa finished his hum, he didn't say anything else and just left on his own. Only the big word "Kill" on the back of his coat showed his obsession with exterminating demons.

It was not until the figure of Busei completely disappeared that the three girls finally relaxed completely, like the strings of a loose rope.

"Xiao Wu, you just scared me to death! That was the Wind Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Master Fuzugawa Shigeya. He's very fierce!"

"Yeah, didn't you think he was scary just now?"

"Xiao Wu, he is a ruthless man. When he gets angry, he will even cut himself. Don't mess with him in the future."

Reiya, Mika, and Sai carefully instructed Muzan.

"Well, I remember it." Wuzan said to them, and at the same time he sighed secretly in his heart -

"Why didn't the original owner, Muzan, have the "self-mutilation spirit" that Fushigawa Minoru has?"

This was the first time she began to appreciate this "quality"...

……

The next day, Sakuma Mika and Kobayashi Rei also went out to complete the mission, and the only one who knocked on Muzan's door was Ishihara Aya.

Ishihara took Muzan on a brief tour of the Butterfly House. Of course, Muzan held an umbrella the whole time, and every ten minutes or so he would find a shady spot to let the sunburn on his skin slowly heal, and then continue walking in the sun after it healed.

"Isn't Lord Insect Pillar here?" Muzan asked casually.

Cai explained: "The pillar-level swordsmen are very busy. They are either on a mission or on their way to a mission."

"Yes. Come to think of it, I didn't see the Wind Pillar-sama I met last night this morning."

"Yeah, he must have gone on a mission..."

……

When there are no missions, the Demon Slayer Corps basically spend their time training.

During this day, Muzan basically visited the Butterfly House and watched Ishihara Aya practice the swordsmanship of "Breath of Insects".

"Insect Breathing" is a derivative of "Flower Breathing". Shinobu Kocho was unable to learn Flower Breathing, so she created her own breathing method based on her own characteristics.

As the stepson of Shinobu Kocho, Ishihara Aya naturally learned the Insect Breathing from Shinobu Kocho.

However, there was another girl practicing another breathing method in the Butterfly House—Kanao Kurika.

In his previous life, Muzan had also fought with Kanao - to be precise, Kanao mixed in with the crowd and everyone joined in on beating Muzan up.

Kanao uses the "Breathing of Flowers" used by Shinobu Kocho's sister, Kanae Kocho. Each move is like a gorgeous blooming flower, brilliant and dazzling.

"Kanaho, she's Xiaowu~" Ishihara Aya introduced them both, "Xiaowu, she's also the master's stepson, her name is Kanao."

"Hello Kanao." Wuzan greeted Kanao with a smile.

Kanao was wearing a pink and red Japanese swordsmanship uniform, and it seemed that she had not yet become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. She just smiled faintly at Muzan, and stared at Muzan quietly with her beautiful pink and purple eyes, like a beautiful doll, without saying a word.

"Hehe..." Ishihara Aya laughed dryly twice, trying to ease the embarrassment.

Wuzan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

In fact, she also knew a little about Chanao from novels.

It's just that she's practicing swordsmanship now, so it's not good for her to force herself to get close to her. And she's not interested in comforting people, so let it go.

……

At night, Muzan hid in the room alone when Ishihara Aya was not around and checked the vision of all the ghosts. He then saw Reiya and Mika fighting a desperate battle with a certain ghost.

It seems that they are at a disadvantage...

When the demon had already stretched out its claws to grab their crowns and was about to crush their heads, Muzan swiftly activated the blood demon technique, causing the demon's internal organs to explode instantly.

Mika and Reiya were slightly surprised, but at the critical moment, they immediately found the right opportunity to swing their knives and stab the ghost's body, injecting the wisteria flower poison into the ghost's body.

Then, the vision gradually turned black until it slowly disappeared.

Nobody, dead.

“I didn’t expect that if I didn’t take action, the two of them would die tonight.

But who was that scapegoat…"

Muzan nodded and finally found the name of this ghost in his vast memory that was like a library.

"Who is he?

No impression at all.

Then of course I should help someone I know.”

Wuzan smiled lightly, feeling extremely satisfied.

……

The next day, Mika and Ling returned alive, also covered in wounds.

Their bodies were covered with wounds of varying sizes and they looked miserable. Fortunately, both of them were born in the Butterfly House and knew some medical skills, so they had already given each other emergency treatment.

Ishihara Aya suddenly had an idea: "Xiao Wu, that's perfect! I'll use Mika to show you how to apply medicine and bandage, you can watch and learn from the side, and then use Lingye to practice for me."

Miuka Sakuma & Reiya Kobayashi: "..." (°ー°〃)

Wu Can pursed his lips and chuckled, then stood up and took the medicine-applying tools: "Just wait and see."

In no time, she had re-bandaged Ling, her movements smooth and effortless.

Facing their surprise, Wuzan explained seriously: "Because some girls will run away when they are in the red-light district. If they are found by the people in the brothel, they will be beaten up. But they have to continue to receive customers after being beaten up, so we will bandage them and apply medicine out of kindness..."

"What?" Ishihara Cai's eyes were filled with tears. "You are so pitiful."

Wuzan comforted: "Don't worry, I didn't run away."

——Not only would he not run away, on the contrary, that scumbag boss was deliberately "picked up" by the people in the brothel.

The purpose is very simple, which is to let those men help her find the blue spider lily and make connections.

After all, those who can go to Red Street to spend money are either officials or nobles.

But in the eyes of the three girls, they still felt that Muzan’s past was very miserable.

Muzan was too lazy to explain more about this and just laughed it off.

……

As evening approached, the owner of the Butterfly House, Shinobu Kocho, finally returned from her mission.

In her hand she held a medical kit filled with the freshly collected blood she had collected when she slewed the demon this time.

"Master." The three girls greeted Shinobu Kocho in unison.

Shinobu Kocho had her usual smile on her lips, and her smile deepened when she saw Muzan: "Xiao Wu, we meet again."

"Lord Insect Pillar." Muzan nodded slightly.

This pillar did not beat herself up like the other pillars in her previous life, because when she faced Upper Moon Two, Douma, she was ruthlessly absorbed by the opponent and died.

However, she was mentioned repeatedly in the novel.

According to the comments, Shinobu Kocho is a very popular character in the original anime. Almost all the original protagonists of almost all fan works are related to her. It is even said that many original protagonists of male-oriented novels are directly paired with her.

Therefore, Muzan has a good understanding of Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho glanced at the wounds of Reiya and Mika, frowned and asked, "Why are they so badly injured?"

"Ah, this..." Mika said embarrassedly, "That ghost was quite strong, but fortunately the poison we injected finally took effect. It was really a close call."

Wuzan on the side smiled calmly.

"It seems that they misunderstood the ghost's abnormality as a poison attack."

Ling also looked at Kocho Shinobu's expression, pointed at the bandage on her abdomen and changed the subject: "By the way, Master, look here, it was bandaged by Xiao Wu~ Why don't you accept Xiao Wu as your disciple!"

"Really~" Kocho Shinobu looked at Muzan with a smile.

Wuzan waved his hands repeatedly: "No... no."

In order to play the alias of that scumbag boss in her previous life, and to leave this annoying world as soon as possible, she forced herself to study medicine.

But as the saying goes - if you persuade people to study medicine, God will strike you with lightning!

Now she has decided to live the life she wants, and of course she no longer wants to study medicine.

If you want to learn, then let the scumbag boss "show his power" and learn enough by yourself.

And the reason why she agreed to join the Demon Slayer Corps was to find an opportunity to learn Sun Breathing and teach the original owner Muzan a lesson.

When I have learned enough, I will dance with the scumbag boss in a variety of ways, and then threaten him by standing in the sun...

Ho!

Just thinking about this picture must be extremely comfortable.

"Ala~" With her onion-like fingertips gently twisting her hair, Butterfly smiled softly, "They told me that you wanted to study here and find a job, didn't they?"

"Well, I guess so." Wuzan responded.

"So ~ learn to treat diseases and make medicine?"

"I don't want to learn." He shook his hands.

“Studying nursing care?”

“No, no, I don’t want to learn.” He shook his head.

"Rebuilding the ruins?"

"I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn." Back off, back off.

"…It can't be cleaning, right?"

And it seems that you don’t need to learn it specially, right?

“No——” Muzan raised his head, his eyes as bright as the dwarf’s brilliant mine, “Lord Insect Pillar, I want to learn the breathing method and become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps!”

"..."

Shinobu Kocho froze in place like a paper man, and the three girls were petrified on the spot.

——It’s impossible just think about it!

The geishas in the red-light district never leave their houses, living a life of luxury. They can get sunburned if they are exposed to the sun, and their feet can be rubbed raw if they walk on uneven roads...

Such a delicate person actually said that he wanted to become a swordsman who chewed snow and swallowed felt? !

It’s hard to imagine…

Shinobu Kocho was still smiling, and three black lines appeared silently on her head: "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Muzan nodded firmly, looked at Kocho Shinobu expectantly and said, "No matter how hard or difficult it is, I will learn it!"

After she finished speaking, she immediately laughed wildly in her heart.

"Mutekibutsuji is in a bad state, just wait for me to shred you into mashed potatoes.

Because of your disdain, I have been busy for two lifetimes and cannot go back. It's all your fault!

Hehe, your doomsday is coming, please stay tuned..."
