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

The deadline is today. If Muzan doesn't show up, we'll head to the Infinity Castle tomorrow.

Yoshiwara Street is quite large. Wu Yue didn't return until evening and lay down on the bed. She hadn't slept for 24 hours and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Gyutaro had regained his memory and was shouting. Wu Yue used rune magic on him to put him to sleep, and then lay down on the bed himself, falling asleep without even taking off his kimono.

In the middle of the night, Wu Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

Turning my head to look out the window, I could feel the sound of seven hearts beating simultaneously.

Chapter 192 Muzan: How can you prove that I can walk normally in sunlight again?

In the middle of the night, Wu Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

Turning my head to look out the window, I could feel the sound of seven hearts beating at the same time.

I started doing it in a daze, and when I looked around, I saw food covered with a white cloth on the table, and a note next to it.

It was left behind by Xiao Nan.

"If the food gets cold after you wake up, just heat it up. I've already told the innkeeper that the kitchen door downstairs isn't locked, so remember to finish your meal."

"Thank you."

Wu Yue couldn't help but smile gently, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

This feeling of having someone think about you.

Looking at the unconscious Gyutaro in the corner, she got off the bed, picked him up, threw him outside the door, locked the door, and took off her kimono.

Then, with a thought, a flash of golden light appeared, and he transformed back into his Artoria persona, wearing a black fitted suit. He reopened the door and walked through the corridor towards Daki's room.

Cancel the rune magic in Daki's room and open the door.

"Well……"

The moment the scent wafted over... Wu Yue's face flushed instantly... and his ahoge (cowlick) stood on end...;

"Feel sorry……"

Wu Yue began using purification magic on the room and on the fallen princess...

After everything was settled, he carried the unconscious Daki on his right shoulder, tucked Gyutaro under his left arm, and jumped out of the window.

Before I could run two steps, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in my head!

—The Celestial Empire's representative has been detected as ready. Live broadcast of the Celestial Empire's representative will resume. 3, 2, 1—

The sudden sound startled Wu Yue!

"Sigh, seriously, is this some kind of war that threatens the fate of the nation? I'm speechless."

Wu Yue complained.

--------

Celestial Empire

"First, first! It was worth the wait! My wife is so beautiful, she just woke up... Wait, what's going on?"

"First! Holy crap? Where is Wu Yue headed in the middle of the night with two women on his arms?"

"Come! Let me see which of my sons is the first to arrive!"

"First place, first place!"

"First! I told you so! According to the normal life rhythm, Wu Yue should have woken up by now."

"What the hell! What era are we living in?! How can anyone still use this kind of tired joke to try and gain this kind of petty advantage?! I'm your brother! We're both your mother's sons!"

"Holy crap! Muzan! You scumbag boss, guys!"

--------

Sakura Country

"Hehehehe, I'm number one!"

"Ugh, this is terrible! Losing first place is such a pain! But second place isn't so bad!"

"Do you people even deserve to be called 'Sakura people'? I stayed up all night specifically to find you guys, and I'm asking you, aren't you ashamed?"

"Fool!"

"Pighead!"

"Bagaya road!"

--------

It was 2 a.m. The streets were deserted, and a man was walking on the ground under the pale moonlight.

She had black hair, a tall and slender figure, pale skin, plum-red eyes, and delicate features. She wore a black tuxedo and a black top hat.

鬼舞辻无惨

Muzan strolled along the street, heading straight for Daki's hiding place, Kyogoku-ya.

Muzan sensed something and looked ahead. In the moonlight, a person stood ten meters in front of him, blocking his way.

Judging from the breath, it was a woman.

Blonde hair, strangely dressed in black—is he a stranger? And who are the people on his shoulders and around his waist?

"I'm not hungry right now, and I don't really want to cause any trouble," Muzan asked politely with a smile.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you? If not, could you please move aside? I have some urgent business to attend to right away."

"Yes, yes, just a moment."

As Wu Yue spoke, he put down the geisha Taro and the dakini on his body, breathed a sigh of relief, and calmed his mind.

The basic task has been completed. Now Muzan is right in front of me. If I wanted to, I could send Muzan to meet my own mother in a second.

"Do you see who those two are?"

Wu Yue asked the question, while stepping aside to let the moonlight shine on the faces of Gyutaro and Daki.

Muzan glanced at it, and his expression clearly changed...

Gyutaro and his sister... no!

Something's a little off!

Looks, physique, heartbeat—they really are a good match for Gyutaro and his sister…

But... but I clearly can't sense any ghostly presence! Human?!

Is there really anyone among humans who is exactly like Gyutaro and his sister in every way?!

Muzan looked at the woman's face. It was a very beautiful face, and she had those strange six-pointed red eyes. He had many questions in his mind, and his expression was displeased.

And I don't know where it is, but I always feel very uncomfortable.

"There's no doubt about it, they are Gyutaro and Daki. Are you wondering why you can't sense the presence of a demon?"

Upon hearing this, Muzan understood everything! His forehead veins bulged, and his eyes widened in fury!

The invisible aura emanating from the Ghost King was quietly gathering, and his anger was nearing its peak.

The Demon Slayer Corps! They've already found my location! Oh, I see. No wonder I've lost Gyutaro and Daki's control; they've probably already beheaded.

The streets here are probably also full of Demon Slayer Corps members lying in ambush.

But... why can't I hear a heartbeat?

He was going to kill the woman in front of him.

"I see. I didn't expect that woman Tamayo would actually find a way to turn demons back into humans. Not only that, she even found my current location. This is truly a great discovery. So, you bunch of self-proclaimed Demon Slayer Corps pests..."

"Wait, wait! I need to interrupt!"

Wu Yue interrupted Muzan before he could finish speaking.

"I'm not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and I don't know Tamayo. I turned them both back into humans. I came alone, but none of that matters. The important thing is that I can let you walk in the sunlight again and live forever."

"What did you say?"

Muzan was clearly intrigued. He took another look at Gyutaro and Daki lying on the ground.

"How can you expect me to trust you, stranger?"

"You'll see soon enough; I'll prove it to you."

As Wu Yue spoke, he clapped his hands.

—Slap—Slap—

next second!

Gyutaro and Daki moved their bodies slightly, and then they actually started doing it!

Their skin gradually turned deathly pale! Words reappeared in their eyes! The ribbon also reappeared on Daki's back!

Muzan was shocked!

What happened?! It turned into a ghost?! It turned back into a ghost without even receiving its own blood?!

"Master Wuhan?!"
