Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Akaza is one of the first demons to stand out under Muzan. After becoming a demon, in addition to searching for the so-called blue spider lily as ordered, he has been persistently playing games with the strong, making himself gradually stronger.

Lin Guang heard all these things from Muzan's mouth.

It was said that even Akaza's transformation into a demon was an accident, a place without demons but with an unexpected death rate. So Muzan went to investigate, and when he returned, Rinkou had an extra bedtime story. Even though he didn't need it, Muzan still slowly told it to him.

Muzan has a high opinion of Akaza, saying that he is very loyal and a pragmatist. He became a Lower Moon not long after becoming a demon, and then challenged for higher positions while training.

Although he had heard many stories about them, in reality, Rinko and Akaza had never met each other. It was only because Muzan had hardly ever praised other ghosts that he was more curious about Akaza.

But that didn't mean Rinko really wanted to see him.

But Muzan has his own ideas about this.

The child is interested and wants to make new friends.

----

"Akaza. This is Rinkou. I'm handing him over to you. You'll keep him with you for now."

Akaza had heard of this name from other ghosts.

It is said that there is an inconspicuous child beside Lord Muzan. No one knows whether it is a human child or a ghost. The child is very small and looks very weak. They once had a bad discussion about whether it might be a reserve food.

But Akaza was not interested in these rumors, nor was he interested in eating children. Muzan never brought the legendary child with him when he came to see him, so Akaza once thought that they would never meet again.

Obviously, he was not mentally prepared enough. Now he not only had to meet her, but also had to keep this legendary child by his side?

"Is there anything I need to do, Master Muzan?"

He naturally asked, if there was any task, if he could finish it as soon as possible, could he send the child back...

"No need. Teach him if you can. It doesn't matter what you teach him. If you can't teach him, don't force it. Lin Guang has his own role. You just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him run into the ghost hunters and lose his head."

This sounds like a bit of a troublesome task.

But Akaza had no room for refusal. He knelt on one knee, lowered his head to look at the ground, and silently agreed.

Only after the oppressive feeling disappeared did he raise his head, ready to take a good look at this 'reserve food' who only existed in legends.

The reflection in his eyes was of a child, scanned from bottom to top. Barefoot, revealing a sliver of calf, he wore loose shorts and an even looser coat. He didn't know who had put them on; it was clearly ill-fitting, even ridiculously large. Even tucked in, the hem hung down, and the long sleeves completely concealed his arms. He would have believed it if it were Muzan's own coat. Above him was a pale face, its gray-blue eyes staring at him unblinkingly, expressionless and indifferent. Only those vertical pupils confirmed his identity.

He seemed like a rather dull child. Furthermore, he was so weak that it was almost impossible to tell if he actually existed.

"Rinko. My name is Rinko. Nice to meet you, please be kind."

Inside the open mouth were the sharp fangs of a demon. The child's body shape was hard to discern, but from the sound he made, Akaza could tell it was a boy. Though he was a bit clueless, he was quite polite.

"Yiwo seat."

Compared to those human children who started crying and screaming when they saw him, Lin Guang was the type that caught his eye.

That's good news.

Akaza had no other way to comfort himself except this.

"Since Master Muzan has entrusted you to me...then we can only get along well."

Akaza glanced at the skinny kid in front of him again. He looked like a kid who could crush his head if any ghost passed by, let alone a ghost hunter. He felt that taking care of him would most likely not be an easy job.

Take good care of this kid's head, don't let the ghost hunters chop it off...

A little guy who seems to have no ability to protect himself will only be the first target to be killed by the ghost hunters...

trouble.

"You don't have to take his words to heart."

Akaza was walking in front, and just as he was thinking, Rinkou spoke without warning. The voice was right next to him, and the boy was standing next to him.

The word "without any sign" is not an exaggeration, but a true description. In his perception, the boy was just two steps behind him, but disappeared from his perception world the moment before he opened his mouth, and appeared right next to him the next second.

"what?"

Akaza asked back before showing any abnormality.

"I'm saying, as for not letting me run into ghost hunters, I can take care of myself. You can act according to your habits. It's okay."

Akaza's face was a little screwed up. He even temporarily ignored Rinkou's strange behavior just now.

"what?"

What kind of bullshit is this kid talking about? Does he even realize how vulnerable his head is to being targeted? Does he really understand how weak he is?

This kid can protect himself? And he's told not to listen to Master Muzan? How many heads would be lost if the two of them were combined?

"Don't worry, I..."

Akaza interrupted Rinkou's explanation and raised a finger.

"First, don't use the word 'you' when addressing me. Second, kid, you've got a few heads chopped off by ghost hunters."

The two outstretched fingers tapped the boy's hairy head with such force that Lin Guang's head tilted back.

"With your current state, ghosts, let alone ghost hunters, can tear you into three pieces. You should be more clear about your position."

Akaza sighed, stood up, waved his hand and continued walking forward.

-

A person who doesn't believe you won't believe you no matter how you explain it, and Rinkou knows this very well. So he doesn't expect to convince Akaza directly in one go.

While accepting the arrangements for reading, writing and management from Lord Akaza, who thought he was his elder and needed to supervise him carefully, he was thinking about his next plan.

Akaza's life is horrible. As soon as it gets dark, he starts running around, training, looking for flowers, fighting with ghosts, and occasionally fighting with people. The last time Rinkou was picked up from the ground after the sun went down was when he was studying with Kokushibo.

And that was many, many years ago.

Rinko actually didn't understand why Muzan suddenly arranged him to be with Akaza, as their personalities and styles were very different.

Rather than sitting quietly, Akaza would rather find something to fight with all night. Rinkou had no doubt that if he suggested that Akaza sit down and look at the stars together, Akaza would definitely punch him so hard that only stars could be seen.

How could a young man full of energy and a more reserved and docile little boy reach an agreement?

But this was Muzan's order, and all both Akaza and Rinkou could do was accept it.
