115: Akaza, Rengoku Kyojuro.

Daki’s expression turned fierce, and her sashes slashed down in anger.

However, what happened before her eyes caused her brain to instantly crash.

The sashes she created with her Blood Demon Art, which could cut through steel like mud.

When they struck the female swordswoman, they couldn't even cut through her clothes.

“You!”

“This is impossible!”

“Even if we are both Upper Rank demons! There’s no way you can withstand my Blood Demon Art with your body!”

An inexplicable fear rose in Daki’s heart, making her involuntarily retreat several steps.

“Brother!”

While slashing at the unresponsive Kanae with her sashes.

Daki urgently called out to Gyutaro.

Her back suddenly bulged.

After hearing his sister’s call, Gyutaro separated from her body.

“She’s just a female swordswoman.”

“Why are you so scared?”

After her brother Gyutaro appeared, Daki’s emotions stabilized greatly, and she retorted discontentedly.

“It’s easy for you to say!”

“Go and fight her yourself!”

Upon hearing this, Gyutaro didn't say much, but instead scratched his forehead with his sharp nails.

Leaving streaks of blood on his forehead.

He took two steps forward, blocking his sister’s path.

Gyutaro’s gaze fell on Kanae.

“Very nice indeed!”

“But compared to my cute sister, your appearance is far inferior.”

As his voice fell, Gyutaro’s figure instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters.

He appeared in front of Kanae, raising the blood scythe in his hand, and mercilessly slashed towards Kanae’s forehead.

The sinister grin on his face seemed to wish that this move would directly kill Kanae completely.

Calmly watching Gyutaro’s attack, Kanae didn’t even have the thought of defending.

“Before bringing You back, I need to properly train You.”

“I don’t want to fail the first task he gave me.”

Ignoring Kanae’s self-talk, Gyutaro let out a strange laugh.

“Hehehe! Die!”

However…

The blood scythe, swung out with certainty, after striking the opponent’s forehead.

The scene of flesh and blood splattering, which Gyutaro had expected, did not appear.

The blood scythe clanged against Kanae’s forehead, making a sound of metal clashing, and couldn't even cut off a single hair or strand of hair.

With a clang, the Nichirin Blade was drawn.

Gyutaro, whose internal alarm bells were ringing loudly, had no time to dodge at all.

Several flashes of sword light passed, and his body was instantly dismembered, falling to the ground with a patter.

“How! Is this possible?!”

“Brother!”

Daki had just cried out in surprise.

The next moment, Kanae’s figure appeared before her.

“Next, no one will disturb us.”

“I need to let You know how fortunate it is to be favored by him.”

Kanae’s sudden appearance in front of her startled Daki, who nervously retreated over ten meters.

“What exactly do You want to do?”

“Since just now, You’ve been saying things that make no sense!”

“Who is he, exactly?!”

Kanae appeared before Daki again like a shadow, and with a *thump*, she thrust a palm into Daki’s abdomen, speaking at the same time.

“He is… an existence far beyond Your understanding and cognition.”

“Besides submitting to him, You have no other way out.”

As Kanae’s voice fell, Daki immediately let out a piercing scream.

“Ah!!”

“What’s happening?!!”

“What did You do to me!”

“Why does my body feel like it’s melting!”

Kanae withdrew her hand, letting Daki kneel and curl up on the ground.

“This is… a blessing.”

Watching the words ‘Upper Rank Six’ slowly fade from Daki’s eyes.

Kanae turned her head to look at Gyutaro, who was still in pieces on the ground, showing no signs of recovery.

She casually flung a mass of Blacklight Virus towards the pile of minced meat.

Kanae then closed her eyes to rest, waiting quietly.

……

On the other side.

In a certain mansion not far from Tokyo.

Mitsuri Kanroji tilted her head, looking at the talking Kasugai Crow, her face full of bewilderment.

“Hmm… so strange.”

“A talking crow.”

Seeing that the girl in front of him completely ignored his words, the Kasugai Crow spoke again.

“Lady Mitsuri Kanroji, please proceed to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters immediately.”

“Proceed to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters immediately.”

Hearing the Kasugai Crow’s urging, Mitsuri Kanroji found it even more interesting.

“What is this Demon Slayer Corps You speak of?”

“Are there any boys there who would be willing to accept me?”

She looked at the Kasugai Crow expectantly, waiting for its answer.

The next moment.

A gentle voice sounded.

“There are.”

Turning her head, she looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Mitsuri Kanroji hadn’t even noticed when her room door had been slid open.

Looking at the woman standing at the doorway, dressed in a kimono, with white hair and a gentle appearance.

She spoke softly.

“Um, You are…”

“My name is Amane Ubuyashiki, I’ve come to ask You a question.”

“Do You… want a man or not…”

……

While Kanae, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and Amane were each scouting for women for Joa.

Joa was playing block stacking and jigsaw puzzles with Shinobu Kocho.

By the time he had enjoyed himself enough.

A whole night had passed.

In the morning.

Stepping out of the room.

Joa called for Sasuke.

“Go and find an Upper Rank demon named Akaza.”

“The characters in his eyes should be Upper Rank Three.”

“Do not touch the other Upper Rank demons for now.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Upon receiving the order, Sasuke bowed respectfully and then left the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.

The current timeline is still a bit early.

Nezuko has not yet become a demon.

Therefore, Joa temporarily doesn’t plan to move Muzan.

He was here for entertainment anyway.

If the game ended so quickly, it would be boring.

He would capture Akaza, make him fight Kyojuro Rengoku a few more times.

To make up for the regrets left when watching the anime.

Then, after Muzan turns Nezuko into a demon, he would capture Muzan and torment him.

By then, Ancient One should have thoroughly researched the power system of The Lands Between.

After Sasuke left.

In the courtyard, Water Pillar, Rock Pillar, and Flame Pillar, who were doing their morning training and familiarizing themselves with their abilities, heard Joa’s command.

They felt quite emotional.

The Upper Rank demons, even Upper Rank Three, who once forced them to be cautious.

Now, in their eyes, they were no different from a roadside pebble.

The World was changing too quickly.

It made them always feel particularly unreal and difficult to adapt to.

“Kyojuro Rengoku.”

Flame Pillar suddenly heard Joa call him, and hurriedly responded loudly.

“Here! My Lord!”

Seeing his energetic appearance, Joa laughed heartily.

“Haha, no need to be so loud, I can hear You.”

“Your ears should be fine now, right?”

Upon hearing this, Kyojuro Rengoku nodded repeatedly.

“Thank You, My Lord, my ears have completely healed.”

Once, in a certain battle, Kyojuro Rengoku encountered a demon whose Blood Demon Art could emit sonic attacks.

To deal with the opponent, he decisively ruptured his eardrums at that time.

This caused all the sounds he heard to be extremely faint ever since.

His speaking voice involuntarily became louder.
