Chapter 63: Makomo's Request

After the selection results came out, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, received the news for the first time. At this time, his eyes were not completely blind, and the scars on his face were not very obvious.

The curse's erosion of his body was not serious.

"This selection has produced an interesting teenager who has such strength at a young age."

Hearing the information constantly revealed by the Messenger Crow, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, sitting in the courtyard corridor, said with satisfaction, "So it is Himejima's successor. His Rock Breathing finally has a successor? That's great..."

"I hope the appearance of this teenager can bring a little turning point to this war that has lasted for a thousand years."

The empty courtyard, no one responded to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's earnest expectation. Every time the Final Selection ended, he would say similar words.

Chu Yang, who officially became a swordsman, went to the Butterfly Mansion before returning to the temple.

Intending to inform Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho, who saved his life, of this news.

However, Makomo, who arrived at the Butterfly Mansion first, had already said everything she could say, making Kanae marvel at the whole process of the Final Selection.

"It's going to be busy next. This kid almost killed all the demons in Fujikasane Mountain. We have to catch another batch and put them in." Kanae's tone was full of appreciation, but also a bit helpless. There are many wounded and sick in the Butterfly Mansion, and she can't get away at all.

"Obviously it is the trial ground for the Final Selection, but such powerful demons appeared. No wonder the survival rate in the past was not high. If it could be detected earlier, many people should have been able to survive." Shinobu Kocho, who was still young, couldn't help but complain to her sister.

"Shinobu, this situation may be cruel, but it is what members of the Demon Slayer Corps must experience. Once you become an official member, you will often experience such cruel things. The object may be ordinary people, or it may be ourselves."

Kanae warned earnestly, "Although you are also an official member, you have always lived in the Butterfly Mansion with me and have not experienced these things, but this does not mean that you can always be so naive."

"I know, sister." Shinobu Kocho, who had not yet experienced life and death, was lively and cheerful, and mischievously stuck her tongue out at her sister.

Kanae shook her head helplessly when she saw that she didn't take it to heart.

While the two sisters were talking, Chu Yang had already pushed open the door of the Butterfly Mansion.

Just wanted to say hello to them, but was driven to the bathroom by Kanae to wash away the filth on his body.

This is a place to treat the wounded, and the most taboo is Chu Yang bringing blood and dirty things in. If he is unlucky, he may cause patients to be infected with diseases.

Chu Yang, who was used to the smell of blood, didn't realize this.

If it were before, he would be the first one who couldn't stand having dirty things on his body.

When Chu Yang walked out of the bathroom clean.

The sun had quietly set, and at dusk, a smell of rice wafted in the Butterfly Mansion.

"Familiar meal time."

Chu Yang, who had lived here for a week, was very familiar with every grass and tree in the Butterfly Mansion and could find the cafeteria of the Butterfly Mansion without anyone leading the way.

Makomo, whose legs were both in casts, sat alone at the dining table.

After seeing Chu Yang, light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Do you want to sit here?" Makomo stared with wide eyes, looking at Chu Yang pleadingly.

Chu Yang smacked his lips and walked over reluctantly. Even if they had been together for seven days on Fujikasane Mountain, the anger of being treated as a pervert by the little girl had not completely dissipated.

In fact, the two were not together for seven days in the true sense.

But Makomo woke up and slept on Chu Yang's back, passing seven days in a daze.

Chu Yang didn't even say a word to her, busy killing demons everywhere. Makomo was also embarrassed to take the initiative to talk to Chu Yang, because she misunderstood Chu Yang before and treated him as a bad person, so the two weirdos really didn't say a word for seven full days.

Until the selection ended, Makomo was brought to the Butterfly Mansion by "Attendants." "How is it?" Chu Yang sat beside her carelessly and looked at her leg injury, feeling that it seemed a bit serious.

"Fortunately, Kanae-sama said that if I receive treatment well, my mobility will not be affected." Makomo, who survived the disaster, was very happy, and her eyes curved into a crescent moon, "If you came a little later, I might really be disabled."

"Not bad." Chu Yang nodded, feeling relieved in his heart, and then asked, "About when can you recover?"

The smile on Makomo's face faded a little, but she still tried hard to smile, "I can take off the cast in three months, but to fully recover my mobility, I have to undergo another month of rehabilitation training."

"I didn't expect that the first four months of officially becoming a member would be spent in the Butterfly Mansion..."

Makomo stopped talking when she said this, looking at Chu Yang.

"You don't want me to do anything troublesome, do you?" Chu Yang looked at her vigilantly.

Makomo, whose mind was guessed, had a red face, and the blood rushed from her ears to her neck. She waved her hands shyly and hurriedly, "Sorry, if you don't want to, forget it."

And Chu Yang, who was always afraid of trouble, nodded, "Indeed, I don't want to."

Makomo's face was red as blood, and her voice became smaller and smaller, buzzing like a mosquito, and finally buried her head.

"Bullying girls is not something a man should do!"

Kanae suddenly appeared beside the two.

Looking at Chu Yang with contempt, she hit Chu Yang's head hard with the spoon in her hand.

The sound was quite loud, but Chu Yang didn't feel any pain at all, probably because he was too thick-skinned.

Shinobu Kocho also wanted to learn from her sister to knock on Chu Yang's head.

As a result, Chu Yang snatched the spoon and knocked a big bag on her head.

"Wow!!" Shinobu Kocho, who was in pain, hugged her sister, her eyes full of tears, staring at Chu Yang fiercely.

The childishness of the two made Kanae feel angry and funny.

"What's wrong with listening to someone's

"Go on, go on." Chu Yang's mouth curled up slightly, his mood pleasant.

"I just wanted to ask you to deliver a message to Mr. Urokodaki for me, so he can rest easy, and also..." Makomo bit her lip and said softly, "About the Hand Demon, I don't know if I should tell him."

Hearing this, Chu Yang also became solemn.

Those dead children have likely become a heavy burden on Urokodaki Sakonji's heart.

Kanae sighed softly; what she feared most was not facing powerful demons, but rather Urokodaki Sakonji's current situation.

If he knew that the warding masks he had kindly given his disciples had ultimately become their death warrants, anyone would break down.

"He has the right to know. As for whether he can let it go, that is his own business." Chu Yang decided to make the trip on Makomo's behalf; he wasn't in a hurry to return to the temple anyway, and demon-slaying missions could come at any time.

Finally, Makomo told Chu Yang the location of Mount Sagiri, and the latter decided to travel through the night as soon as he finished dinner, even though Kanae tried to stop him.

Kanae complained, "Why is this person like a stubborn ox?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded repeatedly from the side, calculating that next time she must flick this forehead-flick back at him.
