Chapter 41: ch40
"Miss Kanae, Miss Shinobu, welcome. Lord Gyomei Himejima is waiting for you," the Kakushi who had been waiting for a long time greeted Kanae and Shinobu Kocho as they hurried back.
The Kakushi are the support team for the Demon Slayer Corps, mostly composed of members without sword skills, responsible for the cleanup and support after the Corps battles with demons.
Kanae nodded gently to the Kakushi. "I see."
Saying that, she took her sister's hand and walked towards Gyomei Himejima's residence.
"Mr. Himejima..."
Upon entering the room, Kanae gently acknowledged the person present.
He was dressed in monk-style clothes, with tears in his eyes, a long scar on his forehead, blind, and wore a brown cassock with "Namo Amitabha" written on it over his uniform.
He was the Stone Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps and the strongest among all the 'Pillars.'
He was later admired by Kokushibo as a swordsman who had tempered his body to a limit unseen in 300 years.
"Namo Amitabha."
"Kanae, this is the first time you are late," Gyomei Himejima stated, raising his head in Kanae's direction. Although he was blind, it didn't seem to affect him, and he knew exactly where Kanae was.
"Something delayed me," Kanae explained softly.
"Namo Amitabha," Gyomei clasped his hands together and offered a prayer. "I assume you encountered some difficult trouble."
Kanae didn't answer the question directly but instead asked softly, "Why didn't I see anyone else?"
"They were all sent out by the lord. After all, the principle of the Demon Slayer Corps is that all the 'Pillars' should not stay in one place for too long until it is certain that it is safe."
Kanae nodded. Until they were sure they could completely defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, they couldn't be too careful.
"It seems I really am late," Kanae lowered her head, blaming herself, but then quickly lifted it again. "The lord said that Muzan Kibutsuji appeared. Where is it?"
"I don't know," Gyomei shook his head, his expression becoming solemn. "The lord said this is a test."
A test?
Kanae frowned deeply, then understood.
That demon, always cautious!
"Mr. Himejima, I encountered a very strange demon during my mission this time, and I need to report it to the lord."
"A strange demon?" Gyomei was slightly puzzled but then nodded. "The lord hasn't left yet. You can report to him."
"Okay," Kanae nodded.
...
After leaving with her sister Shinobu, Sam and Kanao were left alone.
He didn't stay in that place too long, knowing he couldn't wait there for the attention of the Kocho sisters. Similarly, he didn't let his guard down against the Demon Slayer Corps.
No matter what, he's still a demon, right?
Looking down at Kanao beside him, he reached out and took her hand.
Perhaps now, only Kanao, who can't feel pain or express feelings, even if sold to traffickers by her parents, wouldn't feel the slightest sadness.
Now, what is his purpose in this world?
Looking at Kanao obediently standing before him, perhaps it's to nurture his future fiancée well.
It must be said that nurturing this kind of relationship is quite fun.
It is a very exciting process.
But before that, strength must be improved.
In the world of Demon Slayer, how does one improve strength?
As a demon, he could naturally increase his strength by eating humans, but he didn't like this method.
Of course, it seems that killing demons can also be done through the system? He remembered that when he killed the first demon, he got the ability of a 'demon hand,' so if he killed other demons, would he also gain abilities?
He could try this.
Another way to improve strength is through breathing techniques.
However, as a demon, and considering the Demon Slayer Corps' attitude towards demons, they would never teach him the breathing techniques.
The breathing techniques seem to be unique to the Demon Slayer Corps.
But it seems there are breathing techniques available in places outside the Corps.
Similarly, that place is where the protagonist of this world resides.
Nezuko's charm!
He's looking forward to it.
He looked down at Kanao. "Let's go. Your fiancé is going to find you a good friend."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and laughed unconsciously.
