I estimate that the Demon Slayer Corps should be here in less than a cup of tea, and I have already prepared how to escape. ('? ')

Thinking of this, I turned to look at the two people, Fushigawa Minoru and Fushigawa Genya, who were still eating.

[“How am I supposed to explain this to these two?”]

Shimi seemed to have noticed my gaze. He stopped chewing the food in his mouth, turned to look at me, and said in an impatient tone.

"What? You want to eat? No more!"

I looked at him and he still looked so imposing. If it was when I first met him, I would have given him two big slaps if he looked like this now.

But after a month of getting along, I finally see him clearly. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though his words may be a bit hurtful, he actually cares about you in his heart.

I held my chin and spoke to them both with a slightly serious expression.

"I said, if I become a ghost, what will you do to me?"

The two were obviously stunned by what I said, but after a while they both answered, first Shimi and then Xuanmi.

"Of course I'll kill you!"

"Catch him and take him to the Demon Slayer Corps."

I listened to their answers and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Have you ever thought of letting me go?"

"How... (possible!)"

Before Shiya could finish his words, a figure rushed towards me quickly.

"Dance of the Bee Fangs - True Mi!"

The person coming was very fast, but I could see clearly and dodged the attack by turning sideways and quickly jumped five meters away.

After steadying my body, I looked up at the rocking chair I was sitting on. The attack pierced me from above, and the direction I was pierced was instantly corrupted. If I hadn't run fast, my head would have been pierced. Not only would I have been pierced, but I would also have been corroded to death by the poison.

I turned around and saw someone standing not far in front of me. Because the roof was damaged, the moonlight shone directly on her, allowing me to see her face clearly.

"Why does she look so much like Butterfly Kanae?"

She had black hair with purple bangs at the ends, purple pupils, and a mint-colored butterfly hair accessory with dark purple edges on the back of her hair. She was wearing a standard Demon Slayer Corps uniform.

During my observation, I noticed that the buttons on her uniform were not gold.

Not a pillar!

"How do you know my sister's name?!"

["elder sister?"]

The man pointed his knife at my forehead and looked at me coldly.

The man stood right in front of me, holding a Sun Wheel Sword with the tip of the sword pointing at my forehead.

I could clearly see that the knife had a four-leaf-shaped guard, the handle was mainly mint green, and the scabbard was white. It was worth noting that the blade of the knife was slender and had a barb on the tip of the blade.

[“With a sword like this… could she be Shinobu Kocho? Her personality is different from what I thought.”]

The sudden scene just now scared the two brothers who were still eating. Shimi stood in front of Xuanmi and stretched out his arms to protect him.

At this moment, more Demon Slayer Corps members began to rush into the room, about five or six of them, and they all drew their swords against me.

Shiya looked at the girl in front of him who was slightly younger than him and spoke.

"Mo Yunchuan, why did she attack you?

Shinobu Kocho turned her head to look at the two Busei brothers beside her, frowned, and spoke.

"Is it human?"

I looked at her confused expression, curled my lips, squinted my eyes and looked at Shimi next to me, and said in a calm tone.

"If I were a ghost, would you kill me?"

Shimi was stunned, probably because he didn't expect me to say this. But in an instant, the confusion in his eyes turned into anger. He reached out to grab my sleeve and asked me with a slightly trembling voice.

“You…are a ghost?!

In an instant, Shinobu Kocho shouted.

"Get away from him! He's a ghost!"

Shinobu Kocho wanted to stab me again with the knife, but maybe because Shimizu was next to me, she didn't do it.

At this moment, Fushigawa Miya's eyes were bloodshot, tears welled up in his eye sockets, and he spoke to me with a sob in his mouth.

"You bastard! Why... did you lie to me?!"

I looked at Shimi crying in front of me. To be honest, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel sad.

I leaned over and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and spoke to him in a tone that even I didn't recognize.

"I never said I was a human, and I never said I wasn't a ghost."

Xuan Mi came towards me with tears in his eyes. Judging from his reaction, he must have heard something.

I looked at the two Busei brothers in front of me, and my heart was suddenly filled with guilt. Although I had thought about encountering such a scene a long time ago, when it really came, I still couldn't accept it calmly.

I gritted my teeth and hardened my heart, pulled out his hand that was pulling my sleeve, and looking at their disbelieving eyes, I raised my hand and pushed them aside with a little force.

At this moment, Shinobu Kocho's voice suddenly came.

"You...didn't eat anyone?"

Just as I was about to answer, Shiya suddenly came up to me and punched me in the face.

"You...liar!"

This punch didn't cause much damage to me, I didn't even feel anything. This punch didn't bring me anger, but more guilt.

[“If we had just thrown them over to the Demon Slayer Corps at that time, this wouldn’t have happened.”]

I didn't answer him. I moved my body a little distance away from him, threw him a bag with purple patterns, which contained "Dapan" (ten taels of gold), and spoke to him with a cold expression.

"This is my gift to you."

Shimi held the bag tightly, his eyes already filled with tears.

Shinobu Kocho saw that Saneya was no longer beside me, and stabbed at me with the Nichirin Sword in her hand.

I pulled out the Sun Wheel Sword that I was wearing on my back, chopped it off with my backhand, and cut off the blade directly. Then I moved behind her, lifted her hands up behind her back, held the fiery red blade tightly against her throat, and said in a cold voice.

"I'm in a bad mood right now. If you make any moves again, I don't mind eating you!"

Shinobu Kocho seemed to be frightened by me. She had wanted to stab me with the knife hidden in the sole of her shoe, but after hearing what I said, she no longer took any other action.

Seeing that she didn't move, he turned to look at Shimi and Xuanmi who were still crying, softened his tone, and spoke to them softly.

"See you again when you have a chance."

I connected to Mingnu's brain, told her my current location, and asked her to teleport me back to Infinite City.

As he left, he also said this to Shinobu Kocho.

"Ms. Kocho Shinobu, remember to pay for the damage to the roof~"

Shinobu Kocho was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, she realized that she had never said her name.

"Why does he know my name? And why does he know my sister's name?"

According to Xuanya's recollection, after I was teleported away, Shinobu Kocho took them to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. Sometimes I saw my brother holding a purple patterned bag and staring at the autumn pancakes that were part of the food delivered to him every day. He locked himself in the room for nearly a week, and sometimes I could hear a faint roar.
