Do you think this is a monster spawner?!
Ryosuke ruffled Muichiro's hair.
"What are you thinking about! Alright, go back to sleep."
Muichiro nodded.
Yuichiro remained silent.
He stared at the dissipating corpse of the evil spirit, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
The following morning, Ryosuke prepared to leave as usual.
He had just reached the courtyard gate when he heard a voice behind him.
Ryosuke turned around in surprise.
Ichiro stood under the eaves with his fists clenched, staring straight at Ryosuke.
"I have something to ask you."
This kid actually took the initiative to talk to me?
Ryosuke also found it strange and crossed his arms over his chest.
Yeah, if you have something to say, just say it.
Ichiro ignored Ryosuke's perverse sense of humor, glanced at Muichiro who was washing dishes, pursed his lips, and silently walked out of the courtyard.
They even know to avoid people...
Ryosuke followed.
The two walked into the forest, one after the other.
In a relatively open space, Ichiro stopped.
"That monster from last night..."
Yuichiro paused for a moment, then asked, "Are there many like that in this world?"
"Yes, a lot."
Ryosuke nodded: "As long as the root cause is not eliminated, they can never be completely killed."
Seeing Ichiro's serious expression, Ryosuke explained further.
"This is an entanglement and destiny that spans thousands of years."
"The progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, could turn humans into cannibalistic demons using his own blood."
"As long as he lives, the evil spirit will never perish."
Ichiro roughly understood and continued to ask, "Then they're all like that one from last night..."
He considered it for a moment, but still couldn't think of a suitable word.
After all, last night, that demon was killed instantly by Ryosuke with a single strike.
Ichiro wasn't entirely clear on the relative strengths of the two sides.
"The ghost you saw last night wasn't very strong, or rather, it was relatively weak."
Ryosuke patiently explained, "The truly powerful demons are called the Twelve Demon Moons, which are divided into Upper Moon and Lower Moon."
"They possess all sorts of bizarre blood demon magic, and their strength and speed far surpass those of other evil spirits. Even if their limbs are severed, they can regenerate instantly."
"Even now, I'm not entirely confident of defeating the Upper Moon."
After a long silence, Yuichiro nodded.
"I understand."
"You know nothing!"
Ryosuke gave him a hard punch on the head.
"Weakness is not a sin, and no one is born strong, but in this world where evil spirits roam, only by having power can one protect those they want to protect."
"There's no need to remind me of these grand principles!"
Yuichiro glared at him.
"You're just trying to get us to join the Demon Slayer Corps and fight those monsters."
"If even you can't slay a demon, how can we two children possibly do it? In the end, we'll just be throwing our lives away!"
"I will not agree, so don't waste your time!"
Ichiro is currently unaware of just how extraordinary their talents and potential are.
They also lack a clear understanding of themselves.
Ryosuke didn't argue with him, because it was meaningless at the moment.
Ignoring Ichiro's resistance, Ryosuke ruffled the top of his hair.
"Then take good care of your brother."
"I will!"
No sooner had Ichiro finished speaking than Ryosuke had already left along the mountain path.
On the way down the mountain, Ryosuke's thoughts drifted away.
What a troublesome child...
Although I wavered in my heart, I still needed recognition and an opportunity, which was not cute at all!
There is no harm without comparison.
Ryosuke thought of Tanko's family.
They're all so obedient!
However, it has been almost a year since my last visit with Kyojuro.
It's not long, it's not long, it's not short.
He still misses Aoi very much...
Ahem! No, wait! It's charcoal!
Yes! I mainly miss that pure-hearted, gentle, and kind-hearted Tanzi!
Absolutely no other intentions!
With a thought in mind, Ryosuke turned around and sped away.
Yuntori Mountain, in front of the wooden house.
The sound of children's laughter came from the courtyard.
Tanjiro, who was delivering charcoal, hadn't returned yet, so Nezuko was playing with her younger siblings.
Tanjuro sat on the veranda as usual, his expression calm.
When Ryosuke appeared at the gate, Takeo was the first to spot him.
"Mr. Ryousuke!"
Zhu Xiong shouted and immediately pounced over.
The other children gathered around, chattering excitedly.
"Alright, alright, let me go first."
The children then made way for them.
Ryosuke walked to the front of the corridor and smiled at Tanjuro.
"Mr. Tanjuro, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Tanjuro nodded gently to Ryosuke: "Thank you for your concern. It's the same as always, Mr. Ryosuke, welcome back."
Hearing the sound, Kui Zhi came out of the house, wearing a clean apron, her fair face elegant and gentle.
"Mr. Ryosuke, you've arrived."
Ryosuke nodded in response.
He opened the package he had brought and distributed snacks, candies, and some plush toys to the children.
The children cheered with joy.
"Don't forget to leave some for your brother," Ryosuke instructed.
"Know it!"
Zhu Xiong already had a piece of candy in his mouth, and he responded loudly but indistinctly.
Ryosuke smiled, took a package out of his bag and handed it to Nezuko.
Nezuko paused, somewhat confused: "Ryosuke-san, this is..."
"I bought you new clothes."
Ryosuke said calmly, "Girls grow up, so it's time for them to wear nice new clothes."
"I don't know your exact size, I just guessed. If it doesn't fit, please let me know and I'll go back and exchange it."
Nezuko was taken aback, and carefully opened it.
Inside was a soft, elegant blue and white kimono with embroidery on the collar and cuffs, giving it a very refined look.
Nezuko quickly shook her head.
“Mr. Ryosuke, this is too precious! I cannot accept it…”
"Just take it."
Ryosuke shoved the package back into her hands: "You've already bought it, do you really expect me to wear it?"
Nezuko was amused.
She blushed and thanked Ryosuke.
"Thank you, Mr. Ryosuke! Shall I... I'll give it a try?"
