Chapter 37: Is Komayuki an Upper Rank Demon? Mitsuri's Past

Vroom!!!

A figure flashed by, stirring up a cloud of dust, leaving only a gust of wind and sand in place.

Zero rode his motorcycle for several days and finally returned to the area under his jurisdiction.

He stopped the motorcycle and put it back into the 【Nano Space】, took out his scythe, and walked back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, by the way clearing the evil demons in his area.

The Kasugai Crow Yuki also landed on Zero's shoulder and began its life of slacking off. Oh, no, it should be a slacking crow life.

Its master was either searching in deep mountains and old forests or searching in some relatively hidden mountain caves.

Even if there were other fierce beasts in the cave, he could make them obey and not disturb himself.

Once, while searching for the traces of evil demons at night, he entered a cave. Inside was a large black bear, but the large bear not only didn't dare to resist, but had several particularly large meat buns on its head and lay obediently on the side.

After all, the large gold brick with the word "Virtue" in Zero's hand was indeed quite useful.

And every time he could accurately find the hiding place of the evil demons and find them for a "friendly" exchange.

Even during the day, he could find demons and let them come out to enjoy a sunbath.

So it was like this, just like before, not returning to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to take missions, because there was no need.

The evil demons never expected that after being quiet for a few days, they thought that the Death God had already left.

Unexpectedly, Zero walked back again.

Hiding in a hidden place to avoid the sun, waiting to go out at night to prey on humans to fill their stomachs, they didn't know how they appeared under the sunlight and were exposed to death...

Night.

Zero cleared evil demons for a day and found a family with wisteria patterns, staying here for one night, and continuing to rush on the road tomorrow.

At night, he had always had a problem he couldn't understand.

He only left the area under his jurisdiction for a few days, not expecting that so many evil demons would pop up again!?

Just today, he cleared nearly fifteen or sixteen evil demons, and among them, there were many evil demons who knew Blood Demon Art.

Is Muzan Kibutsuji's demon-making speed that fast?

Is he not afraid of anemia?

Moreover, Zero also thought, since Muzan Kibutsuji has the ability of mimicry, when he becomes a woman, will he also have a menstrual period?

If there is a menstrual period, is the blood that flows out during that (her) menstrual period also used to make demons so as not to waste it?

"But having said that, Muzan Kibutsuji has five brains and seven hearts. If he gets a cerebral thrombosis, will he get it all? Or if he gets heart disease, will he get it all?"

Thinking about it, Zero couldn't think of what that scene would be like. Muzan Kibutsuji, that guy with worrying IQ, estimated that even if he got these diseases, he would just cut them off and regenerate a new one. After all, he is the Demon King.

Although some IQ is not online, and he is very cruel and very scum.

"Sigh~ It's a pity, this dimensional world actually has boundary suppression and cannot use dark matter weapons. Otherwise, with my strength in my prime, plus dark matter weapons, I really want to catch Muzan Kibutsuji, dissect him, and study what he looks like?!"

In a town, Muzan Kibutsuji, who had become a woman, was accompanying her fat and greasy husband. Suddenly, she sneezed for no reason and felt a chill, as if something bad had happened.

Achoo~

"What's going on? I'm only one step away from becoming the perfect ultimate creature, how could I sneeze?" Muzan Kibutsuji thought to himself.

Midnight.

Zero lay on the tatami, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Strange memories always appeared in his mind from time to time, very blurry. He didn't understand, what exactly was going on with these memories?

Since coming to this world and encountering some things, these memories appeared from time to time. He didn't even know when these memories were.

Don't understand, don't understand...

He got up directly, took out a notebook and pen, and recorded the legend the woodcutter told a few days ago, as well as the small graves he encountered.

On a new page of the notebook, he wrote 【Soryu Hall】, and after a distance, he wrote 【Kendo Hall】.

As for the three small graves, Zero thought for a while, drew a line under 【Soryu Hall】, and wrote 【Master: Keizo】. Below it, he drew two lines and wrote 【Daughter: Koyuki】 and 【Disciple: Komayuki】.

Afterwards, he drew two lines from the names of Koyuki and Komayuki and wrote the two words 【Husband and Wife】.

The reason he wrote it this way was because he made an inference based on the legend the woodcutter told, plus the names of two of the three small graves.

He guessed that the young man in the legend the woodcutter told was Komayuki.

Komayuki saw his master and Koyuki poisoned to death, so he went to the 【Kendo Hall】 unarmed and started a massacre...

After the incident, he returned to the 【Soryu Hall】 and buried his master and Koyuki in the forest, and after doing all this, he disappeared.

As for the 【Grave of father Nozaku】, if he guessed correctly, it was Komayuki's father.

But the legend didn't mention that Komayuki's father was poisoned to death, so it might be old age or illness, or it might be because of other reasons, for example: suicide?

But no matter which one it was, for Komayuki, it was not good.

Afterwards, he looked at 【Kendo Hall】 and drew a line below it, writing 【Poisoning people, self-destruction】.

"However... did Komayuki really disappear?" Zero was a bit suspicious.

He flipped the notebook to the page of 【Muzan Kibutsuji】 and 【Twelve Kizuki】 to look, and then returned to the page just now. He made many inferences in his mind and finally got a relatively close answer: Komayuki became an evil demon!

Such an inference might be a bit absurd for Zero, but it was not impossible.

Zero made an assumption in his mind: After Komayuki killed everyone in the 【Kendo Hall】 unarmed, he buried his master and fiancée and left.

During this period, Muzan Kibutsuji heard about what happened here and came to check out of curiosity, and happened to meet Komayuki, whose will had collapsed.

Because of interest, and because Komayuki's strength was far stronger than ordinary people, and Muzan Kibutsuji also needed powerful subordinates, he turned him into an evil demon...

"Edo Period... It has been several hundred years from now to this Taisho Period. If it is really as I guessed, his own strength plus becoming an evil demon, then his strength must be at the Upper Rank demon level!"

"But this is ultimately just my speculation and inference... But if it is really as I guessed, then which Upper Rank would Komayuki be?"

His eyes wandered on the words of Upper Rank demon written on the notebook, and the tip of the pen stayed there.

Upper Rank Five is already dead, Upper Rank Two is Doma, Upper Rank One is Kokushibo, so only Upper Rank Three, Upper Rank Four, and Upper Rank Six are left...

"Upper Rank Six... This should not be, after all, Komayuki's strength in his human period was far beyond others, so becoming an evil demon plus hundreds of years of precipitation, his strength must be more than that..."

"Upper Rank Four... Although it is possible, it should be more than that... Then..."

Finally, Zero's eyes stared at the words 【Upper Rank Three】. Speculation is speculation. Whether it is like this or not, he can only wait until he has a chance to meet him later to analyze it.

"Sigh... I hope my guess is wrong. He didn't know where to go when he was a human, so what about him after becoming an evil demon?"

After several days of rushing, Zero returned to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. When he was about to go to his estate, he met someone he didn't expect, the Love Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps—Mitsuri Kanroji.

A cute girl with a love brain.

"Ah! Mr. Zero, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, little Mitsuri."

Hearing Zero call her little Mitsuri, she immediately began to blush again.

"He actually called me little Mitsuri! Could it be that he really has feelings for me..." Mitsuri Kanroji recalled the previous things, and some images instantly appeared in her mind.

As a result, her face became hotter and hotter, and she couldn't help but cover her face and say her inner words: "Mr. Zero, dame dame yo~ I'm not ready yet~ Ehehe..."

Zero looked at Mitsuri Kanroji muttering to herself, and a lot of question marks appeared on his head...

What does "not ready yet" mean? And what does "ehehe" mean? Is she imagining some strange images?

"Little Mitsuri, what's wrong with you? Why is your body so hot?" Looking at Mitsuri Kanroji's body in front of him that was constantly heating up, and she was still sweating hot, he didn't understand what was wrong with her?

"Ah? No... nothing... I... I... I'm very good... just... just..."

"Strange, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?" Zero stretched out his right hand and placed it on Mitsuri Kanroji's head to test the temperature.

Good guy, it is estimated that if you break an egg on it, it can become a fried egg!

But in Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes, this behavior was clearly caring for her, and even her head began to smoke...

"He... he... he is actually caring for me? Could it be that Zero really has feelings for me? What to do?! What to do?! I... I... how should I tell him? Or... tie him home... no, no, or should I take him home to let my parents meet him?!" Mitsuri Kanroji had already thought about the future, and even thought about how to trick Zero... take him home to let her parents meet him!

"Little Mitsuri? Little Mitsuri?" Zero saw that Mitsuri Kanroji's situation was a bit wrong, and kept calling Mitsuri Kanroji, who then woke up from her fantasy and hurriedly said: "Ah?! Sorry, sorry, I was just thinking about how to trick you..."

Before the words were finished, Mitsuri Kanroji hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head, indicating that she hadn't said anything just now.

Zero:? _? Did she just say something strange?!

Seeing this, Mitsuri Kanroji hurriedly said: "I... I still have a mission, so I'll leave first..."

After speaking, she ran away in a flash, for fear that Zero would misunderstand something!

Looking at Mitsuri Kanroji, whose figure was gradually becoming smaller, Zero only felt that his brain couldn't turn around. So what exactly happened just now?

What was she saying? He just touched her head to see if she was sick? Did she misunderstand something?

Thinking about it, he didn't understand, so he simply stopped thinking and went directly to his estate to see how Xiao Yue and the Kie Kamado family were living.

Mitsuri Kanroji ran to a corner where no one was, touched her hot face, recalled what happened just now, and only felt a blush, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Her purpose for joining was also very simple, just to find a husband who was willing to accompany her for a lifetime.

But when she recalled the particularly hurtful words that those blind date objects had said to her when she went on blind dates before, Mitsuri Kanroji didn't know why, but felt a pain again.

Mitsuri Kanroji was born in a large family with five brothers and sisters, and she was the eldest sister among the brothers and sisters.

Mitsuri's physique was far superior to ordinary people from birth, and her muscle density was eight times that of ordinary humans. Her seemingly slender body actually contained incomparably powerful strength.

At 1 year and two months old, Mitsuri could easily lift a 15 kg pickle stone, even scaring her mother, who had always been known for her boldness.

At the same time, Mitsuri's appetite was also very large, and her food intake almost exceeded the sum of three sumo wrestlers.

Because she ate too many sakura mochi continuously, her hair color turned pink and green, and her body was even stronger than a man's, so Mitsuri was fiercely rejected by her blind date objects during blind dates, which was a big blow to her.

After that, she felt that she should hide her true situation.

Since then, she deliberately suppressed her appetite, not only dyed her hair back to black with dye, but also made up a lot of lies, pretending to be physically weak. Unexpectedly, she actually succeeded in a blind date in the end.

However, although someone was finally willing to marry her, Mitsuri realized: the happiness gained by lies was not what she wanted. Even if she ate a lot, had a strong body, and had a strange hair color, that was the real her.

Therefore, Mitsuri's later blind date ultimately ended up with nothing.

In order to find a boy who could accept the real her, Mitsuri Kanroji chose to join the Demon Slayer Corps and wanted to find a good husband in the corps who was stronger than her and could protect her.

After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, because she was deceived by the perverted tailor Masao Maeda, who belonged to the "Kakushi" and was responsible for designing the team uniforms, Mitsuri Kanroji mistakenly thought that the female uniforms of the Demon Slayer Corps were open-chested, until she saw the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, and realized she had been deceived...

Afterwards, Mitsuri first became the successor of the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, and later spontaneously developed the derivative breathing of Flame Breathing—Love Breathing, and became the Love Hashira in one fell swoop...

After Mitsuri Kanroji became a Hashira, the leader Kagaya Ubuyashiki personally comforted her because he learned about Mitsuri's experience, and asked her to be proud of her strength and not care about the eyes of the world.

Since then, Mitsuri no longer cared about other people's criticism of her and always lived optimistically and cheerfully.

Various pasts appeared in Mitsuri Kanroji's mind, and she recalled the things during the blind date again.

'Miss Kanroji, for someone like you, I'm afraid only a cow or a bear can marry you?'

At that time, the words that person said were like a sharp thorn deeply piercing her heart.

She was very afraid that the same thing would happen again.

"Mr. Zero... will he care about my past? Will he care about a girl like me?"

Mitsuri Kanroji kept thinking about this matter, her physique, her hair color, and her surprisingly large appetite...

Then she made up her mind to have a good chat with Zero the next time they met.

(Should Zero take in Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji in this book? You decide, and I will change it then. In addition, I am preparing to have surgery next, which is about my left eye. The left eye looks at things as if it is relatively gray, and it is already a bit unclear, so I may temporarily stop updating for a few days in the next period of time, please forgive me.) ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
