Demon Slayer: I advise Wuzan to abandon evil and become a good person
Chapter 3 Utsuya Shikihiko
noon.
Shortly after arriving in Heian-kyo, Teruo Aoki ran around, asking questions here and there, and finally found out the information he wanted.
The Ubuyashiki family is recruiting a large number of servants and maids this time, all for their young master.
I heard that their young master was moody and many servants and maids were kicked out for various reasons, so they were often short-staffed.
Recently, it has been rumored that those chosen by young masters are mostly those with extraordinary looks, causing many common families to want their children to try.
Of course, the most important reason is that as long as you pass the initial screening, even if the young master doesn't like you, the Ubuyashiki family will give you a hundred coins.
Even Aoki Terusei's travel expenses to Heian-kyo were only between twenty and fifty yuan, and the expenses for others were probably similar.
Therefore, many people are willing to let their children give it a try.
“Is this the place to sign up?”
Teruo Aoki looked at the shop in front of him. This used to be a shop selling things under the name of Ubuyashiki, but now it is open for everyone to sign up.
Looking up, there were quite a few people in front of the store.
Teruo Aoki is six years old now, which just meets the threshold. They only recruit children between the ages of six and ten.
The reason was that the older maids had mixed thoughts, and the young master hated those with ulterior motives the most.
Besides, being younger has its advantages. Not only do you have fewer worries, but you will also have a stronger sense of belonging to the family and can serve the master better.
Aoki Teruo washed himself nearby, and after washing, Aoki Teruo grew very well.
If he took off those gray clothes, I believe no one would mistake him for a civilian.
Of course, it was common for civilians to have dusty clothes.
After cleaning myself up, I returned to the registration office. The sky had been dyed orange by dye.
"Time flies." Teruo Aoki looked around while queuing.
Because the sun was about to set, there were only two people in front of him, and behind him... well, not many either.
Aoki Hui saw the person in front leave in frustration, and in front of him was a well-behaved girl. He only heard the manager ask the girl a few questions and then let her go to the backyard.
This should be the person who passed the preliminary examination, right? It's my turn.
The manager was very straightforward and asked, "Name and age."
"Aoki Teruo, 6 years old."
The manager looked at the child in front of him carefully and nodded inwardly.
"Where are you from? Are you alone?"
"I'm alone in Osaka. I'm an orphan." Teruo Aoki said the first half of the sentence, paused and added.
"Yes, you are smart enough to do this. You can go to the back." The manager added, "But this first level is not over yet."
Aoki Teruo nodded, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you!"
He knew that the steward was reminding him to be more careful later.
There is a small courtyard behind the shop. When he pushed open the door to the backyard, Teruo Aoki saw dozens of people lined up neatly, waiting to be inspected by a female manager in front of them.
So, Teruo Aoki quickly followed the line and stood at the end, and waited for a long time before it was his turn.
The female manager fumbled around Aoki Teruo, feeling his bones to check his physical strength.
Finally, she nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, better than most people."
"Did you understand before you came? Do you know who you will serve in the future?"
"I know. It's the young master of Ubuyashiki, Master Tsukihiko."
"Have you ever learned to read before?" Although the housekeeper knew that learning to read was rare for common people, she still had to go through this process as instructed by her superiors.
But she didn't hold out much hope, as so far she had only received three or four children who could read a little.
"know a little."
Teruo Aoki did not intend to tell the housekeeper that he knew all these words because it was not normal.
It is as ridiculous for ordinary people here to know all the words as it is for an ordinary person in the first life to tell others that he can solve the NS equation.
As expected, the housekeeper was overjoyed after hearing this. After looking at Aoki Teruo, she took out a book from the cabinet next to her and pointed at the words on it, "What are these words?"
"and."
"what about this?"
"can't read."
"What about this?"
"..."
The housekeeper asked more than ten questions in one breath, and Aoki Teruo selectively told the housekeeper the answers.
Finally, "Good, you passed the first round, go to the next room to rest, and follow me to see Master Yueyan in the evening."
"Yes." Aoki Teruo bowed respectfully and walked towards the next room.
"I'm so envious. I wonder if I can be selected."
"Yes yes yes!"
"envious……"
“I want to be chosen, too.”
Under the astonished and envious gazes of more than a dozen children around him, Teruo Aoki calmly walked to the room, pushed open the door and walked in.
The door hinges made a clicking sound, and at a glance, there were already seven or eight children inside.
The room was very quiet. In this strange place, the children each found a place to sit down.
They keep a distance from each other and seek their own sense of security in this strange environment.
Some children hugged their knees tightly, their eyes wandering around; others stared blankly at a corner, as if they were thinking about something important.
Seeing this, Aoki Teruo walked towards a small open space, slowly sat cross-legged, and took a deep breath.
Although he was curious about this young master, his main goal now was to catch the young master's eye and gain recognition from the master's family.
He didn't want to wait until he grew up to use power other than this world to change anything. He came to this world to pursue what his master said, not to become invincible.
In this ordinary ancient world, it is better to use unnatural mysterious powers less.
As for immortality? He couldn't control this passive ability either.
In the absence of external invasion, his body will be affected by the soul and he will achieve theoretical immortality. It will be difficult for him to be killed by disease, natural disasters, or knife wounds.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the body and soul are completely synchronized.
Aoki Teruo calculated that it would take at least until he was 18 years old for his body and soul to synchronize.
At the age of 18, he can use a weakened version of his full power. Although it is weak, his abilities are complete.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky had completely darkened and I could only see a little orange halo when looking out from the house.
Two more children came behind, and the housekeeper pushed the door open.
The female steward looked at the twelve children in front of her, smiled and said, "Okay, kids, there will be a carriage coming to take us to the Ubuyashiki residence. Everyone, be good and don't cause trouble, okay?"
"Okay!" the children said in unison.
Aoki Teruo also opened his mouth softly to cooperate.
A group of people walked out of the room in a mighty procession and came outside, where they found two carriages parked at the door.
The two carriages looked spacious enough to accommodate five or six adults, and were more than enough for the group of children, the oldest of whom was no more than ten years old.
The children got on the carriage one by one. There was plenty of space inside the carriage and there was no feeling of crowding at all.
However, the atmosphere in the car was still a bit solemn, which was a sign of worry and concern about the future.
They couldn't predict what would happen next, and they were surrounded by people they didn't know. Their parents' instructions made them uneasy.
These factors combined made them temporarily abandon their childish and naughty nature.
After everyone was seated, the carriage began to sway slowly towards its destination.
Teruo Aoki gently pulled open the curtain and looked at the bustling, brightly lit streets outside.
Finally, the carriage stopped.
The female steward clapped her hands and shouted, "Okay, we're here, kids, come down and line up."
The children got off the carriage one after another. Teruo Aoki stood in the middle of the small group of more than ten people, waiting for further orders for action with the others.
This is a huge mansion with the door wide open. There is a stone tablet with "ちゃんおくし" written on it, and the family crest of Ubuyashiki next to it. The road is paved with fine sand and pebbles, and many green plants can be vaguely seen on the roadside. There are two tall and strong warriors standing at the door.
In a nutshell, this place gives people a feeling of solemnity, magnificence, elegance and wealth.
"Everyone follow me, we will go to meet the young master, and he will decide whether you stay or go."
The housekeeper walked and talked, followed by a group of children who imitated her walking posture.
"Yes!"
