Demon Progenitor Development Project

Even after riding home with her adoptive father, Tsuruchiyo still seemed absent-minded.

“Young master, young master,” the attendant Ren Guang called out.

Tsuruchiyo responded.

"Renguang, don't let anyone bother me after this. I want to rest for a while."

The attendant nodded in agreement.

Shugo went inside, trying to sort out the jumbled emotions in his mind.

It can be confirmed that the world we are in is Demon Slayer.

However, it cannot be ruled out that it may have been adapted from other films.

Still pending confirmation.

Tsuruchiyo marked the matter as pending.

but……

Hiiragi looked conflicted.

—If you were faced with a newborn baby who would grow up to be a scourge that causes countless tragedies, what would you do?

—If it were a magician-killer, he would have killed this baby without hesitation, even though he hasn't done anything yet.

Tsuruchiyo does not have the surname Emiya, nor does she intend to do so.

To put it humorously, in a sense, Muzan Kibutsuji was also an anti-Japanese hero! (laughs)

Tsuruchiyo dislikes ancient times.

Ghosts possess the characteristic of immortality, allowing them to survive until the modern era, where there are iced sodas and computers.

Although the diet has been changed to humans, and they have the weakness of dying in the light, they have achieved immortality and awakened superpowers.

However, that scumbag boss Muzan Kibutsuji is seriously affecting his plan to survive until the modern era.

Look at Muzan Kibutsuji's flaws: unpredictable temper, arbitrary layoffs, frequent verbal abuse of subordinates, and a sole focus on his own life.

Working under a ruthless capitalist means he will exploit your labor and sleep time, and if you don't meet your targets, he will at most deduct your pay.

Working under a scumbag boss means you get no pay, and if you fail to meet your targets and get confronted by the boss, you risk your life. You also have your own nemesis company, the Demon Slayer Corps, constantly hunting you down.

The workplace environment for ghosts is truly awful!

But do ghosts really go looking for the blue spider lily?

Tsuruchiyo's expression was subtle, as if she didn't feel anything at all!

Once you become a ghost, find a chance to run away.

Tsuruchiyo listed Muzan's numerous flaws and his completely blank advantages.

This kind of boss is beyond what a stay-at-home freelancer like him can handle.

Aside from the scumbag boss himself, there are two major problems facing the time travelers.

Blood Curse

[Mind Reading]

These two are the biggest problems.

The blood curse of Muzan Kibutsuji means that becoming a demon means your life is completely in the hands of a capricious demon king.

Moreover, they have no privacy whatsoever; not only are their thoughts known, but even their location is known.

The secret of being a time traveler must never be revealed.

Is it because Muzan's unique status as a transmigrator prevents him from hearing his thoughts?

Gamblers will never have a good end.

Tsuruchiyo didn't want to gamble with her life.

How to get rid of the blood curse?

Tsuruchiyo wrote down this crucial question.

Ms. Tamayo from the original story set an example.

Taking advantage of Muzan Kibutsuji's severe injuries and extreme weakness, she used her medical knowledge to modify herself and thus break free from Muzan's control.

No, was the Blood Curse an innate skill of the progenitor of demons, or was it developed later?

Tsuruchiyo seemed to be deep in thought.

To prepare for the future, it's still necessary to learn medical skills.

One more course has been added to the schedule.

As for replacing Muzan Kibutsuji as the progenitor of demons?

Tsuruchiyo never expected such a windfall.

In his opinion.

Ubuyashiki, a pharmacy since childhood + a doctor's prescription = Muzan Kibutsuji

Perhaps a little bit of villainous luck should also be added.

First of all, he is not a pharmacist, and he cannot confirm whether the doctor's prescription will actually work for people with different constitutions.

The well-known idiom "treat the symptoms" tells us that ancient prescriptions were not universally applicable.

Kibutsuji Muzan traded twenty years of struggling on the brink of life and death for the power of the progenitor of demons.

Tsuruchiyo couldn't believe she was so lucky to get something without suffering.

—If he were lucky, how could he possibly have traveled back to ancient times?

—If he were lucky, how could he not even have a cheat code?

Tsuruchiyo let out a heavy sigh.

Also, be prepared to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji; this is a backup plan.

Wisteria flowers and sun-absorbing ore, or rather, sun-absorbing minerals.

Transplanting wisteria can be put on the agenda; it's a small matter, and with his current status and position, it's enough.

It would be better to wait until he inherits the position of family head before searching for minerals.

Shugo prioritized the tasks.

We also need to consider the possibility of failing to break free of the blood curse, which would mean having to work with Muzan.

For ghosts who are not from the Twelve Ghost Months, this boss is basically elusive and rarely appears. As long as you don't run into him, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The boss assigned the task of finding the blue spider lily.

For a thousand years, no ghost has completed this task.

In fact, Shugo seriously doubts that the demons ever actually went looking for them.

For most of these beast-like ghosts, simply having enough to eat is a blessing.

The living environment for demons only became difficult after Yoriichi Tsugikuni spread the Breathing Technique; before that, it was completely easy.

Moreover, the problem with the Demon Slayer Corps can be completely solved.

All we need to do is sever the bloodline of the Ubuyashiki family.

Tsuruchiyo tapped her knuckles on the table, her eyes filled with a coldness.

I'm sorry, but when it comes to her own interests, Tsuruchiyo is willing to take drastic measures.

Tsuruchiyo's fingers slid across the table, offering an extremely cold and cruel solution.

No.

Wherever there are demons, there will be demon-slaying swordsmen.

However, without Ubuyashiki as logistical support, it would be a minor undertaking and not a cause for concern.

A well-organized organization and a disorganized mess are two different things.

So the best solution is to make the Ubuyashiki family so poor that they can't afford to support the Demon Slayer Corps?

Tsuruchiyo fell into deep thought.

The kind of person who could persist in doing one thing for over a thousand years, suffering losses and endangering their life multiple times, yet remaining steadfast in their commitment, is Ubuyashiki.

It's just like Muzan's obsession with finding the Blue Spider Lily... a kind of fanaticism.

A peculiar family trait has emerged.

Oops, I've gone off-topic.

Bringing her wandering thoughts back, Tsuruchiyo wrote down a question that could change the course of events.

They nurtured Muzan Kibutsuji and interfered with his growth process.

This was the thought that popped into Tsuruchiyo's mind the instant she thought of Muzan when he was just born.

Giving a young, corrupted villain enough care and love to help him become a normal person is a fairly common trope in redemption novels, involving rehabilitation and whitewashing.

But would this work on Muzan?

Or did he ever turn evil?

The official guidebook describes Muzan Kibutsuji's emotional system as being like that of an insect.

Muzan, your face is clearly my type, so why is your personality so difficult to deal with? Tsuruchiyo sighed.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tsuruchiyo still hesitated on the word "nurturing".

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

We must take the initiative.

We need to plan carefully how to raise Muzan in a logical and reasonable way.
