Demon Progenitor Development Project

Shugo finally managed to find time from his busy schedule to go on a date with Muzan.

Dating was Shugo's idea.

Muzan simply couldn't bear being separated from his family for so long.

Even in modern times, long-distance relationships often end in separation, with fewer surviving.

Shugo travels all over Europe, Asia, and America all year round, while Muzan is left behind to oversee the organization and keep an eye on those demons who can't control themselves.

This resulted in Muzan's patience with demons dwindling, and he started getting angry at the drop of a hat.

The ghost is crying; this is unbearable.

Soon, a ghost secretly sent a message, asking when Lord Shugo would return.

Hiiragi:……

Muzan: You said you wanted him to train properly to handle affairs, and that you wanted to leave someone to be the backbone back home! You haven't messed with someone outside again, have you?

Shugo thought to himself: ...You talk like you're watching your husband who's away on a business trip.

Considering Muzan's limited patience, Shugo decided to temporarily suspend his overseas business and stay in his small town for a while to appease the almost exploding Muzan cat.

While he was at it, he also wanted to see which idiots would jump out. With that thought, Shugo's eyes turned cold.

Once a family becomes large and prosperous, it becomes difficult to manage!

There will always be people with ulterior motives who try to sabotage his business.

In Edo, on Honmachi Avenue near the Shimakuni Bridge, a family named Sato moved in.

They are said to be merchants who moved from Kyoto.

The family of three, all of whom are extremely good-looking, are a beautiful sight to behold.

Unfortunately, his health isn't very good.

Hiiragi stared intently at his "wife and daughter" in front of him.

As it turns out, Muzan really knows how to play tricks.

He now plays not only his 'wife', but also his 'daughter'.

No wonder it's the progenitor of all ghosts, capable of forming a family of three from a single ghost.

Muzan in his loli form, dressed in a pink outfit, ran over adorably and called out "Daddy" in a soft, sweet voice.

Hiiragi's body trembled, and his scalp tingled.

Please don't call me that!

Although I used to call myself that in private, but now?

He doesn't want to have a father-daughter (or son) relationship!

Have you no shame?!

The beautiful woman, Muzan, with her hair styled in a bun and wearing a black kimono with red flowers, looked at the embarrassed Shugo and chuckled softly, covering her mouth.

Muzan was very satisfied with his decision; he had considered it carefully before appearing as his wife.

He had no doubt that if Shugo presented himself as a single man, someone would definitely come to propose marriage.

Muzan felt that if he saw such a scene, he would kill that audacious matchmaker without hesitation to vent his anger.

snort!

Although he knew that Shugo wouldn't develop feelings for ordinary people who would be buried in the ground in less than a hundred years, Muzan couldn't bear to even think about it.

But if you have a wife, you have to have children, otherwise what if you doubt your fertility?

Although Muzan was unhappy that he might be questioned about this, it was due to the social environment, and the progenitor of demons had no other choice.

Women were treated harshly in ancient times!

Therefore, one must have a child to prevent sycophants from sending women to bear children for one's master.

perfect!

Muzan pondered his idea several times and concluded that it was perfect.

And so, this family of three came into being.

Husband: Sato Night (Fujiwara Hiiragi); Wife: Sato Yue (Onimbutsuji Muzan); Daughter: Sato Reika (Onibatsuji Muzan).

Since they are husband and wife, they will naturally have intimate interactions.

Muzan hugged Shugo like a cat hugging catnip, the whole demon looking like it was high.

Shugo tried to break free, but Muzan held him tightly again.

Muzan, suffering from separation anxiety: I'm inhaling~ I'm inhaling~

After being hugged for an hour, Shugo said, "Is that enough? I still have things to do. If you want to be hugged, we can do it when I'm resting." I'll let you hug me as much as you want then.

As the person in charge, he never had the option of taking a complete break; Shugo, who was in charge, always had to review reports every day.

Since I was living in Edo, I naturally had to deal with my neighbors.

My neighbor's surname is Ayaki. He is a businessman and quite wealthy. When Ayaki and his wife came to visit, although they smiled, the smile did not reach their eyes, and their brows showed an unconcealable worry.

Out of curiosity, Shugo inquired about it, and Mr. Ayaki explained the reason with a wry smile.

It turned out that Ayaki had a young son who was seriously ill and didn't have much time left to live, and he had been worried about this.

So Mr. Ayaki took the opportunity to ask Shugo to help him introduce him to a famous doctor.

Shugo sensed something was wrong: seriously ill? A child?

Is that you? Tired?

The only demon that Muzan Kibutsuji treated specially.

What kind of fate is this?

Shugo drank a cup of tea with a sigh. This address was chosen by Muzan.

That's normal, though; a family that can afford to raise a seriously ill child is unlikely to be poor.

Poor families would only abandon this child.

As Edo was the center of wealth and politics in that era, living there was perfectly normal.

Just as Shugo had predicted, Muzan did indeed become interested in Rui.

Is it a situation similar to my past?

Muzan's perception of Rui was fairly good, but it's hard to say how much of it made up for his past thoughts.

Sometimes I feel so tired that I feel like a burden, unable to even leave this room.

The thin boy huddled in bed, gazing at the bright sunlight outside the window with eyes full of disgust, the maid's voice echoing in his ears.

Lei's parents were worried that he would be lonely, since they were always very busy. So they found a servant to tell him about the latest happenings, and also provided him with all sorts of strange toys to play with.

The new things naturally included the newly moved-in Sato family and an incident that occurred at the Terakoya.

(Terakoya, a place similar to an elementary school in the Edo period, mainly trained reading, writing and arithmetic skills. Commoners in Edo who were well-off would send their children to school.)

The maid's tone unconsciously carried a hint of lament.

"A student at the temple school drowned, and his father died trying to save his son. I don't know how this family will survive..."

His tired eyes rolled for a moment.

It is a father's responsibility to be willing to die for his child.

How wonderful it would be to die for one's own child!

"Master said that Miss Sato will be coming to visit tomorrow," the maid added.

He's tired and uninterested. It's not like he hasn't had peers who tried to play with him before, but he didn't like any of them.

That overly cautious manner is repulsive.
