I don't want to be an elf!

Although she calls herself brother, it is not difficult to tell from her surname that she is not a biological sister.

Ten years ago, his father, who was also the previous Yanzhu, Purgatory Makijuro, had adopted a [stepson].

However, unlike the stepson in the traditional sense, the stepson in the Demon Slayer Corps refers more to the apprentice who has accepted the inheritance.

Purgatory Makijuro's stepson is Itsuka Kotori's real father.

However, Wuhe Qinli's father lost his life due to an accident during the ghost slaying mission.

Before he died, he handed over his five-year-old daughter to the purgatory Makijuro, hoping that his master could watch Wuhe Kotori grow up instead of him.

The guilty purgatory Makijuro agreed.

As a result, Wuhe Qinli became the daughter of the Purgatory family, and at the same time became the younger sister of Purgatory Xingjulang.

After finally pushing the tearful girl away, Purgatory Kyojuro took out a wooden box from the bag on the ground.

Open the wooden box to reveal the candy inside.

"This is a gift I bought as compensation, I hope you like it."

"This is......"

Seeing the lollipop in the wooden box, Wuhe Kotori showed a slightly surprised expression.

However, she showed a happy look and took the wooden box happily.

"Thank you brother! This is my favorite thing!"

"This is what you deserve."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Purgatory Xingshourou looked at a corner of the mansion, and asked, "Is Julang okay during my absence?"

Purgatory family, a total of four people.

Purgatory Makijuro as the father, Purgatory Kyojuro as the eldest son, Wuhe Kotori as the second sister, and Purgatory Juro as the second son.

However, compared to Purgatory Xingshourou, who inherited his father's career, his younger brother has no talent for fighting, and lives an ordinary life like Wuhe Kotoli.

"Well, Juro is okay. He seems to have made some friends in the private school recently." Itsuka Kotori replied.

"What about...father?"

"Uncle..."

Hearing this question, Wuhe Qinli's eyes dimmed.

Although there was no answer, for Purgatory Xingshourou, this was already an answer.

The purgatory family originally had five members.

But nine years ago, after his mother died of illness in Purgatory Ruhuo, his father was hit hard and became very depressed.

Not only did he give up his duty as Yanzhu, he even started to drink away his sorrows every day, completely turning into a useless person.

Not only did he abandon his responsibilities as the head of the Purgatory family and Yan Zhu of the ghost killing team, but he also no longer fulfilled the agreement with his stepson before his death.

The heavy responsibility of taking care of the family can only be shouldered by Itsuka Kotori.

"It's really hard work for you." Purgatory Xingshoulang said again solemnly, "Without you, I would definitely not be so focused when performing tasks outside."

"I'm also very happy that I can share the pressure with my brother." Itsuka Kotori said with a smile, "And with the money my brother sends every month, I don't need to work outside. Juro is also very sensible, so I don't have to work hard. oh."

"Father, is he at home now?"

"Well, in the old place."

"Then I'll report to my father about the latest situation."

Although he knew that the other party would not care, Purgatory Kyojuro still insisted on reporting what happened to the Ghost Slayer Squad every time he came back.

He firmly believed that his father was only temporarily frustrated and would one day get back on his feet.

"elder brother."

Just when Purgatory Xingshoulang was about to find his father, Wuhe Qinli stopped him.

"what's up?"

"Brother came back suddenly this time. Did something happen?"

"Well, the Lord convened a Pillar Trial and said there were urgent matters that needed to be resolved."

"Pillar Judgment..."

Hearing what Purgatory Kyojuro said, Wuhe Kotori narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself.

"It turns out that the timeline is here."

Chapter 2 Ratatosk returns to the world

One second before stepping through the gate, the girl was still tempting Miku.

In the next second after crossing, the girl became Wuhe Kotori.

Without the slightest precaution, without the slightest concern, the system threw her into the mansion of the Purgatory family.

"At least give me some time to react."

Seeing the disappearance of Purgatory Xingshourou, Wuhe Qinli showed a pained expression: "So many strange memories have been stuffed into my mind, I almost didn't realize it, the system, are you playing me on purpose?"

Before crossing, she used a prop card of [Identity Fabrication Voucher].

The effect of this prop card is to allow the traveler to get a fabricated but real life in the world he traveled through.

Not only can the traversers perform better performances, but it also eliminates the need to think about how to change from a black household to a normal resident.

And her identity in this world is the adopted daughter of the purgatory family.

Digesting the memories in his mind, Wuhe Qinli already had a general understanding of his life experience.

A large number of memory fragments poured into her mind. Although her reaction was a little slow at first, the negative effect only ended there.

Her personality will not change because of this fabricated life.

For her, these memories are like watching a movie, experiencing more than ten years of life from the perspective of No.1.

The memories of some side branches are vague, and only the important memories are very clear. This is also a way to protect the personality.

"However, is there a lollipop in this era?" Wuhe Qinli looked at the candy in the exquisite wooden box in his hand, "Now the most important accessories for playing Wuhe Qinli are also available."

At the beginning, she really didn't expect that there are lollipops in this era.

However, this also seems to be taken for granted.

The art of making sugar figures was introduced to Japan from China during the Heian period and has been passed down to this day.

Although compared with modern lollipops, the workmanship of these candies is much rougher, but it is better than nothing.

After all, the appearance of lollipops falling from his mouth all the time is a standard feature of Wuhe Qinli in the original book.

It's not a doubly good card, but it does the trick.

"Since brother... Purgatory Anjuro came back for the Pillars Trial, then this time period should be the time period when the protagonist group defeated the Spider Mountain dungeon and was captured by the Demon Slayer Squad." Itsuka Kotori He murmured to himself, "Anyway, let's take a look at the mission first."

Because Anjurou from Purgatory just returned so suddenly, Itsuka Kotori, who had just traveled through, had not had time to look at the system panel.

Calling up the system panel again, she looked at the main and side quests that she needed to complete in this world.

[Current role: Itsuka Kotori]

[Currently in the world: Blade of Demon Slayer]

【Main quest release】

[Main task: Become the Balrog (Efreet) that burns out the old era]

【Announcement of side quests】

[Sub-quest [-]: Form your own forces (the higher the prestige in the human camp and the ghost camp, the higher the settlement evaluation)]

[Sub-quest [-]: Defeat five pillar-level members/shangxian ghosts (the more the number defeated, the higher the settlement evaluation)]

[Sub-quest [-]: Accelerate the arrival of the final battle (the greater the credit, the higher the settlement evaluation)]

Looking at the tasks issued by the system, Wuhe Qinli raised his eyebrows.

Burn out the old era?

Form your own forces?

Provoking the Ghost Killing Squad and ghosts?

Accelerate the final battle?

Why do I feel like I'm a troublemaker...

Shaking his head and putting this illusion behind him, Itsuka Kotori began to think about his future plans.

Wuhe Qinli in the original book is a bridge between elves and humans.

As the commander of [Ratatosk], she upholds the principle of peaceful coexistence with elves and takes in all elf girls as much as possible.

However, it is slightly ironic that the name Ratatosk comes from the name of the squirrel that lives on the World Tree in Norse mythology.

On the top of the tree of the world lives the eagle-Vedfornir, and at the root of the tree is the poisonous dragon-Nidhogg. Ratatosk usually goes back and forth between the top and the root of the tree. The gossip heard by the top of the tree told Nid Hogg, thus causing suspicion between the eagle and the dragon.

Therefore, rather than allowing the two sides to coexist peacefully, what Ratatosk has done is to sow discord and cause trouble.

It's almost like what the system asks her to do now.

"Besides, the establishment of a third organization that does not belong to the ghost killing team and ghosts is equivalent to asking me to re-establish Ratatosk, right?" Wuhe Kotori mused, "According to the original book, Wuhe Kotori accommodated the elves. way of action, then don’t I want to…contain ghosts?”

As this thought appeared, she showed a bitter expression.

Elves and ghosts are fundamentally different.

Elf girls are mostly kind-hearted girls.

Although there are sometimes people like Saki Kurumi who have killed tens of thousands of people, people like Tobiichi Origami who have caused catastrophes, and people like Miku Miku who treat girls as toys and men as cockroaches.

But their natures are not bad.

Tokisaki Kurumi kills people because she thinks that once she fulfills her sad wish, not only those killed by her will be resurrected, but also those killed by other elves will be resurrected.

Tobiichi Origami caused a fire in Tengu City, not only killing his parents, but also causing more casualties, but half of the blame had to be shouldered by Takamiya, and Tobiichi Origami was also a victim.

As for Yu Xiaomeijiu, the world kisses me painfully, so I also want to make the world feel the pain.

Although no matter what the reason is, they are all burdened with sin and evil, but from their point of view, at least it is more or less understandable.

But, ghost?

Unlike Takamiya Mio, the mother of elves who always picks innocent girls to turn into elves, when the ancestor of all ghosts, Oni Wu Tsuji, chooses 90.00% of the people who turn into ghosts are people who are extremely sinister.

The vast majority of ghosts are villains who deserve to die.

Recruiting this kind of guy into the organization, let alone her, even if the real Wuhe Qinli came, probably wouldn't do it.

"How many of the ghost camp are capable of joining my organization?"

Itsuka Kotori recalled the plot in the original work and counted on his fingers: "Zhu Shi counts as one, Yushiro counts as one, Yiwo Zao counts as half, the fallen princess and the prostitute Taro... add up to barely enough Also count as half?"

But even if the flexible moral standard is lowered, only five can join Ratatosk.

Three of them are still of the type that they won't join even if they are asked to join.

To put it bluntly, there are actually only Zhushi and Yushiro.

"Ah, wait."

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Wuhe Kotori clenched his fist and hammered his hand, and said in surprise: "How could I forget Nezuko."

If there is anyone in the camp of ghosts who is really pure and pure, then only Nezuko is left.

The most important thing is that according to the current time period, Nezuko and Kamado Tanjiro should have just been captured and are still being escorted to the trial location.

Both she and her brother could become the first members of Ratatosk.

"Very good, the system has wrongly blamed you. This is indeed a good time travel time."

The corners of Wuhe Qinli's eyes curled up.

"Tonight, let's rob someone~"
