National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

His expression began to become alluring, and slowly, he controlled the ribbon to wrap around the woman who was still asleep in bed, gently covering her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

During the recent parade, Daki saw this woman on the street, a woman whose posture, temperament, and appearance were all top-notch.

Golden hair, strange black clothes—is he a stranger? And that tuft of hair on his head, whose origins are unclear, but none of that matters anymore.

He had his eye on this woman and wanted to devour her to enhance his own beauty and strength, so as not to hold his brother back and gain Muzan's favor.

The ribbon, trailing behind, slowly began to retract, bringing the woman to Daki's presence.

The two looked at each other...

"Eh?"

807 Daki was stunned. She found that the blonde woman she had wrapped in ribbons did not show any surprise or fear. She just stared at her.

This guy? Isn't he scared?

The blonde woman simply stared at him expressionlessly, her beautiful emerald green eyes devoid of emotion.

Are you kidding me? I'm a ghost! This isn't how ordinary people usually see me! Is this woman the kind who sleeps with her eyes open?

"Hey? Are you awake?"

Daki couldn't help but ask a question.

"..."

The blonde woman didn't answer, continuing to stare at him expressionlessly, without even blinking.

Daki shook her head, suddenly realizing how foolish she had been around everyone. Oh well, no matter how this person slept, she was going to be...

"Wow, logically speaking, having Chinese characters in one's eyes should be quite handsome, but why do I find you so ugly..."

The blonde woman's sudden words startled Daki, who was momentarily stunned before she could react, but the woman continued.

"It's not that it's ugly, but rather a kind of grotesque... How should I put it... um... anyway, it's just not good-looking."

In that instant, Daki heard nothing; the only thing that popped into her mind was the word "ugly"...

He tilted his head and glared disdainfully at the blonde woman in front of him, whom he had completely controlled in every way.

He was angry, and his body trembled slightly.

"Huh? What are you saying, you ugly woman! A mere human! Just a meal for me! How dare you define me..."

--Bang!!!--

…………

…………

…………

After a loud bang, the surroundings fell silent again; no one knew what had happened…

Daki stared blankly at the blonde woman in front of her...

When? When did this happen? When did I end up being pinned to the ground?!

Just a moment ago, I was manipulating them! I had completely bound them tightly!

How could a human change their clothes in an instant, grab their own neck, and slam their body to the ground?

"—Ugh—"

That's incredibly strong... I can't breathe...

Out of the corner of her eye, Daki painfully discovered that... the ribbons that were supposed to wrap around the blonde woman had somehow been completely cut off!

How did they manage to do that?!

"Don't move, look into my eyes."

The blonde woman spoke, reaching out to touch Daki's face, forcing her to look directly into her eyes.

Forced into a corner, Daki was compelled to look at the woman riding on top of her!

"Damn it! You Chaos! I'm going to kill you..."

Daki's face flushed instantly... She looked tremblingly at her own body...

He could see...where the blonde woman's hand was on his abdomen...

Pink light appeared from my fingertips... and flowed into my body...

Meanwhile, on one side

--------

Hey! Tanjiro, where are you going?!

Zenitsu Gasai shouted from inside the house!

Tanjiro ran out of one inn and immediately headed back to the inn where he had originally stayed.

He can't wait!

The opponent is the Upper Moon of the Twelve Demon Moons! It's dangerous to fight him alone! No allies! No plan! All by himself?!

not long ago.

After the parade in Huajie ended, Wu Yue and Xiao Nan returned to their room. Wu Yue called everyone together to discuss matters.

"What?! That ghost is going to ambush us tonight?! This is a perfect opportunity to take her down!"

"Inosuke said, his eyes wide."

"Yes, yes, that Upper Moon named Daki will be coming to see me tonight. Just in case, all of you should move out tonight and find another inn to stay at."

Wu Yue nodded as well.

"Huh?! Why?! This is too dangerous!"

Tanjiro asked, puzzled.

"Because if you are here, any slight disturbance or discovery might arouse Daki's suspicion."

Wu Yue pointed to the markings on Tanjiro's forehead and said.

Everyone left, leaving Wu Yue alone in his room.

They settled into another inn, but no one slept. Tanjiro and the other two waited anxiously, while Konan sat quietly on the bed reading a book.

I don't know how long I waited

"Lord Nan! Aren't you worried?!"

Tanjiro, still too worried, anxiously asked Konan.

“Don’t worry, you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, so you might think that Wu Yue’s statement that he is invincible in this world is just a joke.”

Konan looked up at Tanjiro, holding the book in her hand.

"This is no joke, she is invincible."

Xiao Nan spoke in a very relaxed tone and with a calm expression; she trusted Wu Yue completely.

But Tanjiro eventually escaped and headed to the inn where Wu Yue was staying.

Even if he's invincible... to let a girl face an Upper Moon alone...

Tanjiro still couldn't let it go.

"Huh?! What's going on?! Lord Konan?!"

Tanjiro was running when he suddenly realized that his feet had left his feet, which startled him.

Looking up, he saw that Xiao Nan had used a strange ability to create a pair of wings out of white paper and was flying up while holding him.

"Yes, yes, if you're worried, let's go take a look together. Zenitsu and Inosuke are packing their gear, they'll catch up in a bit."

Tanjiro nodded.

"I see!"

They flew very fast, arriving at the inn's entrance in less than a minute, where they found a person sitting on the stone steps...

It's Wu and Yue!

He had changed back into the blue and white battle dress he wore when we first met, and he sat on the stone steps with his head down, seemingly doing nothing.

Konan put Tanjiro down, and Tanjiro immediately ran over and anxiously asked.

"Lord Wu Yue! Are you alright?"

"Huh? Ah... umm... it's nothing... haha..."

Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, because he noticed that Wu Yue's face was flushed...

She looked very shy, which made her very endearing.

This left Tanjiro completely flustered. He looked left and right, stammering and unsure of what to say.
