I don't want to be an elf!

"Even if that ghost has never eaten a human before, who can guarantee that it will not do so in the future?" Butterfly Ninja also said, "Having compassion for a ghost is not a wise choice."

"Yes, the original intention of our Demon Slayer Team is to kill ghosts. As a pillar, you should take the lead." Purgatory Anjuro said, "If that ghost goes berserk and hurts other people, you can bear the consequences." Are you up?"

"If Nezuko kills someone, I can cut my stomach and apologize."

"But your apology will not bring the dead back to life."

"..."

Seeing that Tomioka Yoshiyuki was silent, Purgatory Xingjulang did not continue to question him.

Today's protagonist was robbed halfway, the meeting of the pillars was cancelled, and the others quickly lost interest.

A few pillars either hated that iron could not be made into steel, or took a last look at Tomioka Yoshiyuki with deep meaning, and left here.

"I remember, you also have a younger sister."

Just when Purgatory Kyojuro was about to leave, Yoshiyuki Tomioka who was standing there suddenly spoke.

Purgatory Xingshou Lang stopped in his footsteps.

Looking back at him, there was no answer.

"If, I mean if."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked calm, as if he was just curious.

"What would you do if your sister also turned into a ghost?"

Chapter 6 Kotori's Cooking Skills

After Nine Pillars disbanded, Purgatory Kyojuro returned to his family mansion.

Opening the gate, he saw his younger brother, Purgatory Shourou, sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom in the courtyard.

"Ah, brother, good morning."

Seeing Purgatory Xingshourou appearing at the door, the boy who looked almost like him showed a smile.

The genes of the purgatory family are very strong, and the father and son are almost all carved out of the same mold.

It's just that, unlike them, the youngest Purgatory Juro didn't inherit the genes for breathing and sword skills.

"My sister has already prepared breakfast, and she is in the living room."

"Is Kotori cooking today?"

"Well, my sister said that my brother finally came back once, and I'm going to show off."

"Really, then I have to look forward to Kotori's progress, haha!"

Saying that, Purgatory Xingjulang walked into the mansion.

Looking at the back of his eldest brother leaving, Purgatory Shoulang muttered in a low voice: "Brother's physique is so good, it should be fine, um, probably."

Purgatory family, never open a fire to cook on weekdays.

Three meals a day are purchased from outside.

In this era, although such expenses are huge for ordinary people, it is not a problem for purgatory families.

The Purgatory family has been the Yan Zhu of the Ghost Killing Team for generations, and is the only family that can be called [hereditary], and has a very high status in the Ghost Killing Team.

Therefore, as long as you ask, the Demon Slayer Corps will not be stingy in providing assistance.

Walking into the mansion, Purgatory Xingjurou's nose twitched, and he smelled the slightly mushy smell of sea fish coming from the kitchen. .

"Huh~huh`"

When he came to the room, he saw Wuhe Qinli wearing an apron humming an unknown song while washing the dishes.

"Oh! Brother, are you back?"

Sensing the familiar aura, Wuhe Kotori turned around and saw Purgatory Kyojuro leaning on the door: "Today I made my brother's favorite salt-grilled sea bream~ come and eat while it's hot~"

"Salt grilled... sea bream?"

Looking at the large pot of almost untouched black and purple dishes on the table, there was a little confusion in the eyes of Lian Ji Xing Shou Lang.

"Where's the salt?"

"No, so I substituted sugar."

"Where's the snapper?"

"Not anymore, but squid is also a fish, right?"

Purgatory Kyojuro fell silent.

Dare to love this salt grilled sea bream, only the word grilled has not been changed by magic?

"Father and Shoulang, have they eaten?"

"Yeah, but they all only ate a small amount. They said it was my brother's favorite dish, so they left it for him."

Wuhe Kotori, who took off his apron after washing his hands, walked out of the kitchen and said with a happy smile, "It's rare for my brother to go home. Everyone wants to leave the best things for my brother!"

Looking at the purple-black food in the pot, the hesitation in Purgatory Xingshourou's eyes was replaced by determination.

This was made especially for him by Kotori, and was reserved specially for him by his father and younger brother.

Even if it doesn't taste good, eat it all.

Breathing method, fully concentrated? Normal, fully open!

He took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks and the rice bowl, and quickly wiped out the food in the pot as if facing an enemy.

"thanks for treatment!"

In less than 1 minute, he ate up a pot full of food.

"Is it delicious?" Wuhe Qinli asked expectantly.

"Delicious...probably."

The last two words were spoken in my heart.

After all, he had been holding his breath just now, and he didn't chew at all. He almost ate a pot of salt-roasted sea bream as if it had been poured into his stomach, and he didn't taste the slightest taste.

This can't blame him for cheating.

He still remembered the last time Wuhe Qinli cooked dinner with great enthusiasm, and after he gave an honest evaluation, he directly made her cry.

After that, his younger brother told him that no matter what Wuhe Qinli cooks in the future, as long as it is delicious, it is enough.

Sure enough, after hearing the delicious answer, she showed a happy smile.

After receiving the empty dinner plate, Wuhe Qinli bounced back to the kitchen, and continued to wash the dishes while humming a song.

As if infected by her happiness, although the bitterness in his mouth still remained, the corners of Purgatory Xingjurou's mouth could not help but slightly twitch.

Being able to let his family live a carefree life is also one of the reasons why he joined the Ghost Killing Squad.

If he can protect his current life, his efforts will be worth it.

However, looking at Wuhe Kotori's back, Tomioka Yoshiyuki's question once again came to mind.

"If my sister also becomes a ghost, what will I do?"

He didn't give Tomioka Giyu an accurate answer.

Because he is not sure what choice he will make at that time.

Will Wuhe Qinli be beheaded out of a sense of mission and responsibility?

Or if you can't do it yourself, let other colleagues handle it?

Sitting at the dining table, Purgatory Kyojuro, with a bit of confusion mixed in his eternally straightforward expression.

But if, as Tomioka Giyuu said, there really are ghosts in this world that don’t eat people, and his sister happens to become such a ghost...

I'm afraid he will also hide Wuhe Qinli, so that no one will know.

"Perhaps, I can somewhat understand the decision made by the boy named Tanjiro Kamado."

Thoughts flashed in his mind that he would never be able to produce as a pillar.

Purgatory Xingshoulang shook his head, leaving the messy thoughts in his mind behind.

"Kinri, I won't eat lunch at home."

Standing up from the chair, Purgatory Xingshourou put on the haori again, put on the sun wheel sword, and said seriously: "The trial of Zhuzhong did not go smoothly, but this does not affect my next work. Originally, I was leaving the headquarters. Afterwards, I was ready to go to the next ghost-slaying location, but considering that I don’t know how long it will be before I return, I decided to go home and say goodbye to you.”

He still doesn't know what decision he would make if his family members turned into ghosts.

But as Yan Zhu of the Ghost Killing Squad, it is his duty to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

He doesn't have time to rest, because every minute he rests, the people facing the disaster of evil spirits will be more likely to be killed.

Although I hope to spend more time with my family in my heart, the sooner I leave, the more likely I am to protect a family that will be broken by ghosts.

"Are you going now?"

Wuhe Kotori turned around and asked reluctantly, "Can't you stay until noon? I have prepared other dishes for my brother to try."

"Sorry, next time."

"Where is brother going this time?"

"Asakusa." Purgatory Kyojuro replied, "The sightings of ghosts over there suddenly increased. I need to go over and check the situation."

"Asakusa..."

As if he didn't expect Purgatory Xingshoulang to go to this place, Wuhe Qinli's eyes flashed with surprise.

But she covered it up so well that she wasn't seen.

"Speaking of which, I have a pen pal who is also in Asakusa. Recently, I want to go there to meet him. Can I drop by and go with my brother?"

Although she didn't think that Purgatory Anjuro would meet Kamado Tanjiro in Asakusa by such a coincidence.

But in order to be safe, she still decided to follow Xingshourou in purgatory.

Hearing Wuhe Qinli's request, he originally wanted to refuse.

But after thinking about it, even if he didn't agree, his sister would definitely go there alone in the future.

Rather than letting her go out alone as a weak woman, she might as well follow him to ensure safety.

"Since the destination is the same, let's go together."

Purgatory Xingshou Lang said.

"When you are ready, we will set off immediately."

Chapter 7 Descendants of that man? Two in one

Asakusa is one of the cities in the Tokyo area.

The distance between Purgatory House and Asakusa is actually not too far. Originally, Purgatory Kyojuro planned to walk all the way.

However, considering that he was bringing Wuhe Kotori with him, he finally decided to take the train once in a while.

In the evening, the two arrived in Asakusa.

After instructing his younger sister to stay obediently at the Ghost Slayer Squad's settlement in Asakusa at night, Purgatory Kyojuro started the search in Asakusa non-stop.

Late at night, at the appointed time.

In the dark, Kotori Wuhe slipped out of the mansion, hiding from the eyes of other people in the settlement.

No matter which world she is in, this is her first visit to Asakusa.

After referring to many signs along the way according to Kamado Tanjiro's description, she came to a clearing in a forest in the outskirts of Asakusa.

"We meet again, Five Rivers...Commander!"

They noticed each other's approach, and soon Kamado Tanjiro, who was hiding here, appeared in front of her.

Beside him was a pure girl with black hair reaching her waist and a bamboo in her mouth.

There was a curious look in the girl's eyes, and she kept staring at Wuhe Kotori, but she didn't take any further action.

She is Zaomen Nezuko, who has received the blood of Oni Wu Tsuji, but has suppressed her instinct as a ghost, a ghost who does not need to eat human flesh.
