A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

"Wait a minute."

Gyuu Taro picked up Daki and was about to leave when Taiichi suddenly called him back. Taiichi's eyes bulged with veins, and he roared, "..."

"Human! Don't go too far!"

"What are you yelling about?" Tai tilted his head subconsciously, then casually said while pointing his little finger at his ear, "I didn't even tell you what you were supposed to do, and you're already leaving?"

"Fuck away!"

Gyutaro's eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled uncontrollably from extreme anger.

"You can still hide in Yoshiwara from now on."

After Taiichi finished speaking, Gyutaro was stunned.

Oh? It seems the human shogunate is quite sensible after all.

"However, you must never eat people again, otherwise I will reappear with an army."

"You fucking bully me! What am I supposed to eat if you don't eat people?!"

"You call yourself human? You can't eat the living, but you can eat the dead! People die every day in Edo—in the ditches, the suburbs, the cemeteries." Taiichi shrugged and continued, "Besides, I'll be checking on you from time to time. If you dare to run away..."

Taiyi lowered his head, then stared at the other party with a sinister gaze, and said coldly, "I am a fire thief named Gai Tongxin, and I have the authority to issue a nationwide warrant for your arrest."

"you!"

Gyutaro's pupils contracted sharply, and his chest began to heave violently.

He then exhaled, nodded repeatedly, and asked fiercely:

"Alright, human, I'll agree to whatever you say. What's your name?"

"Yamada Asaemon Taichi, if you have any questions, you can come to the Ohanya in Edo-cho and I will be there for you during working hours."

What are the working hours?

Gyutaro was taken aback again and asked subconsciously.

"daytime."

Taiyi replied with a smile.

This time, Gyutaro did not choose to talk back. Instead, he closed his eyes, tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and then leaped onto the roof.

However, during this time, he caught a glimpse of Su Yi being supported by He Yi out of the corner of his eye.

"I can't even eat people anymore, and my identity has been exposed, so what use are you to me!"

Swish!

The blood wheel spun, flashing past Su Yi's neck in the blink of an eye. Then its rotation slowed down, and finally it turned into a scythe and fell back to Gyutaro's waist.

damn it.

Taiichi was also taken aback. Although he sensed that Gyutaro was about to make a move, his body had already reached its limit, and he felt that he couldn't even muster the strength to move a finger.

When I was coaxing the other person just now, I was already pushing myself to the limit, and I managed to achieve the best possible outcome.

If he could kill his opponent, Taiyi would not hesitate to do so.

Unfortunately, his body no longer allowed it, so he could only ask the other party to stop eating people and accept his supervision.

As for how long he could keep up the lie, he wasn't worried.

The longer time goes by, the stronger I will become. When the time comes, I will kill Muzan and make all the demons in the world die. That will be the end of it all.

"elder sister."

Su Yi's eyes darted around, her voice hoarse, and then a red line quickly spread from the middle of her neck to both sides.

Snapped!

He Yi subconsciously raised his hand and caught an object.

Then she lowered her head, looking at the severed head in her hands, her eyes widening, her head trembling, her mouth opening and closing, until she collapsed to the ground, and suddenly burst forth:

No!!! No!!!!!!!!!

"My plain clothes!!! My plain clothes!!!"

"what!!!!!"

A piercing howl shattered the tranquility of the night, and the previously high-hanging bright moon was now shrouded in dark clouds.

Hearing footsteps approaching behind him, Taiyi suddenly raised his left hand and stopped making noise.

"What happened? What is she shouting? Why are you covered in blood? Hey, I don't see any wounds on you."

Rantaro, acting like a walking encyclopedia, first glanced at the location of the cloaked figure, then turned to examine Taiichi.

He had changed his clothes, abandoning his usual crested haori and hakama. Instead, he wore a jinkasa (a type of hat) on his head, a kimono (another type of hat), a teppo (another type of hat), and carried a teppo in his hand, while still having two swords at his waist.

Without answering Rantaro's question, Taiichi took a step forward, and suddenly the sword in his hand broke into many pieces.

But he only frowned and looked at it, then stuffed the broken sword into Rantarō's arms and slowly walked towards Heiyi.

"Eh? Brother Taiyi, what's going on?"

"Please wait here for a moment, I will explain to you later."

Tai turned his head to one side and said in a gentle tone.

"Okay, okay."

Rantaro was completely bewildered, but because of his relationship with Taichi and the fact that Taichi's tone was very kind, he just stood there.

As Taiyi approached Heyi, he gradually heard what Suyi was saying.

At this moment, He Yi's tears flowed continuously from her eyes, splashing onto her kimono and forming smudges in circles.

"Sister, I'm sorry for being so mean to you before."

"Daki used you to threaten me, making me deliberately create terror to attract the Demon Slayer Corps samurai."

"But you stopped me from killing people in order to protect me."

“But you can only get too few people. If this continues, I’m afraid that Daki will eat you up sooner or later. That’s why I’m so fierce to you. That’s why I took the initiative to kill people. I just want you to hate me and leave me.”

Su Yi's body began to dissipate, and at the same time, his head also began to disintegrate from top to bottom.

"No...don't say anymore, don't say anymore..."

He Yi was crying uncontrollably, shaking his head while tightly covering the spot where Su Yi's head had disappeared, as if doing so would slow down his brother's decomposition.

"Sister, let me finish." Su Yi's amber eyes revealed endless longing as she looked tenderly at He Yi.

"Thank you, sister, for not abandoning me when I was little, but now, I have no chance to repay you."

"I'm sorry, sister..." Su Yi's head finally disintegrated down to just the mouth, and then he uttered his last words:

"I couldn't help you escape Yoshiwara sooner, but I really want to see you become a normal girl, wearing a white kimono..."

"For this reason, I was so foolish that I named myself Suyi, just because I wanted to be your... wedding dress."

Su Yi had completely disappeared, while He Yi knelt on the ground, her hands sliding limply from her thighs to her sides, and then murmured to herself:

"Idiot, I know you've always been afraid of the cold, that's why I call myself Heyi."

"Because, all I want to be is your... sun."

Taiyi stood to the side, head down, listening to their entire conversation.

At the same time, after waking up, Matsujuro limped over to his side, looking at Hei with a complicated expression.

He Yi and Su Yi, the older sister didn't want her younger brother to be too conspicuous and thus be discovered by the government or the Demon Slayer Corps, leading to his arrest and death. So she would rather make up a reason for herself to be a cannibalistic courtesan and lure people in to kill.

What's even more foolish is that because she didn't deceive many people, her younger brother came to hate her.

But she didn't know that Su Yi did this so that she could leave on her own and escape the gaze of the Fallen Princess.

"What are you going to do?"

Matsujuro asked Taiichi.

As the Flame Pillar, he deeply hates demons and those humans who associate with them.

However, I am only alive now because of Taiyi's desperate efforts, so I must respect his opinion.

Taiichi glanced at Matsujuro and then said with a smile, "Let's keep business as it is."

He then walked up to He Yi, looked down at him, and said calmly:

“Heyitafu, although you had your reasons, you did indeed deceive others to buy people and then feed them to evil spirits.”

"Therefore, I, who am a thief who has been converted to Tongxin, hereby arrest you and bring you to justice immediately!"

After Taiyi finished reading, Heyi slowly turned around, knelt down before him, bowed her head, and softly said:

"He Yi, accept your punishment."
