Demon Slayer: I am a Demon

Chapter 101 Are you really a ghost? (4/4)

"Really?!"

Looking at the ghost in front of her, Midouzi felt both anticipation and fear, her little hands on her knees almost twisting together.

Su Mu didn't say anything, but simply raised the wine glass in front of the girl. Mi Douzi glanced at Gui somewhat timidly, then carefully took the wine glass and put it to her lips. While drinking, she secretly glanced at Gui with her eyes. When she saw Gui looking over, she immediately lowered her head, closed her eyes, and drank all the wine in one gulp.

However, the girl had obviously never drunk alcohol before. As soon as she swallowed the wine, she started coughing violently. She seemed worried about angering the ghost, and kept covering her mouth with her hands.

"Cough cough————"

Coughing, Mi Douzi stared at the ghost with fear.

But once Su Mu saw that Mi Douzi had drunk the wine, he stopped paying attention to her and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

"Cough cough————"

Midouzi couldn't help but cough a few more times. Seeing that the ghost didn't seem to care, it stuck out its little tongue and fanned its mouth, as if it could fan away the burning sensation in its throat. However, it not only failed to fan away the burning sensation, but also felt a little dizzy.

At this moment, the owner, Imai, also came over with the food. He glanced at the guests and, seeing that they didn't seem to have any intention of flirting, quietly withdrew.

The food they ordered was plentiful. Su Mu drank his wine and ate the dishes, enjoying the long-missed taste of the food.

Kanao was also sitting opposite her, eating in small bites. Mizuko's head was already a little dizzy. She really wanted to leave, but the ghost wouldn't let her go, so she really didn't dare to move at all.

While enduring the hazy feeling in her mind, the aroma of food wafted into her nostrils, causing Mi Douzi to unconsciously swallow her saliva.

Life was already tough for Mi Douzi, but moving to a new place and starting all over again made it even more difficult. The family hadn't tasted meat in months.

Although she worked at the restaurant, she was always careful, afraid of losing her job. Even if some customers left a lot of food uneaten, she dared not eat it.

Rather than risk losing her job and the pay she would receive here, her brother would have to work even harder, and the family would face greater difficulties. So, she always endured it.

Looking at the table laden with delicious food, I feel—

Are you very hungry?

Kanao raised her eyes and looked at Mizuko.

"No—no, no, no—"

Ni Douzi waved her hands in a flustered manner.

"If you're hungry, let's eat something together."

Su Mu, who was enjoying his meal, looked up at Mi Douzi and said casually.

"No—I wouldn't dare."

The girl quickly lowered her head, but her head was still a little dizzy.

"What, are you afraid I'll eat you up?"

Su Mu muttered something.

"without."

Mi Douzi was so scared she almost stood up, especially when she saw the ghost looking at her. She immediately mustered her courage, picked up her chopsticks, and took a piece of meat: "I—I'll eat it."

Su Mu withdrew his gaze and continued to enjoy the delicious food. He had to admit that the chef's skills were quite good to have so many customers.

With trembling hands, Ni Douzi picked up the meat and put it to her mouth, taking a small bite. The aroma of the food made the girl's eyes almost unconsciously squint.

The delicious taste immediately reminded Midouzi of her younger brother and sister at home, her hardworking older brother, and her tired mother. If only she could give this to them—

Of course, being able to eat a piece of meat was already very satisfying; I wouldn't dare to have any other extravagant desires.

While chewing the food in small bites, the delicious taste made Mi Douzi feel almost filled with happiness.

But even if you eat slowly, you'll eventually finish a small bite of meat. After chewing, you can't help but keep looking at the abundant food on the table, and you also see Kanao, who is the same age as you.

Kanao seemed to sense the gaze, her pinkish-purple eyes fixed on Nezuko: "Hungry again?"

Midouzi blushed, feeling utterly humiliated. If there were a hole in the ground right now, she would have loved to crawl into it immediately.

"If you're hungry, just use your chopsticks to pick something up yourself."

Su Mu glanced at Mizuko, then picked up a chicken leg and put it in Kanao's bowl. Kanao also withdrew her gaze from Mizuko, lowered her head, and happily ate her food.

Mizuko unconsciously glanced at Kanao, who was eating. She recognized the girl as the one who had picked flowers on the hill behind her house.

Compared to the last time we met, she seemed to have grown taller, her face was more rosy, her hair was neatly combed, and she wore a pretty butterfly hair clip on her high ponytail. Her clothes fit her well and were very stylish, highlighting her slender figure perfectly.

The warm sunlight fell on Kanao, illuminating her exquisite face, making her so dazzling and beautiful, just like a brand-new doll carefully dressed up and placed in a shop window.

Unconsciously, she lowered her head. Although she had trimmed her clothes to fit her perfectly, the outdated style made her look like a world apart from the beautiful swan. She felt like an ugly duckling facing a beautiful swan.

For no reason at all, I felt a little inferior.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder, isn't this girl afraid of being with a ghost?

Aren't you afraid of being eaten by ghosts?

According to Grandpa Sanlang, these ghosts are very cruel. But why does the other person seem to be well taken care of? She had seen the ghost's true face before, and it was truly terrifying.

Just as Midouzi was lost in thought, a chicken leg was suddenly placed in the small bowl in front of her.

Almost instinctively, I looked up, only to find that the terrifying ghost was right in front of me, and I was immediately filled with fear.

"Eat."

Su Mu seemed to sense that Mi Douzi was afraid of him, and after saying a word, he continued eating his own food.

Mi Douzi held the small bowl almost fearfully, glanced cautiously at the ghost, then looked down at the chicken leg in her bowl, somewhat incredulous.

Give this ghost a chicken leg to eat.

Is she trying to gain weight before eating?

How about we don't eat it?

Just as Midouzi was lost in her thoughts again, she suddenly felt as if she were being watched. She looked up and saw a very pretty, exquisitely dressed girl pouting as she looked at her.

The beans are a bit strange.

Kanao took a big bite of the chicken leg in her bowl before looking away.

The sudden, subtle hostility left Nezuko somewhat bewildered. She tried to glean something from Kanao, but the latter completely ignored her.

Looking down at the chicken leg in the small bowl, Mi Douzi still seemed a little incredulous.

Would a ghost give her a chicken leg to eat?

What a joke.

Maybe I've made a mistake, misunderstood something. Perhaps the other person isn't the evil spirit I saw that day, but just looks somewhat similar.

So, Midouzi secretly glanced at the ghost. The sunlight was already shining on the ghost, while the man was bathing in the sunlight as if nothing had happened.

Didn't Grandpa Saburo say that ghosts can't be bathed in sunlight?

What does the present moment matter?

Or perhaps I've really misunderstood.

So, Mizuko spoke somewhat cautiously: "Sir..."

"Um."

Su Mu, who was eating, looked up at Ni Douzi.

Midouzi clenched her small fists slightly, mustered her courage, but spoke very softly: "You—you really are a ghost?"
