Demon Slayer: I am a Demon

training ground

Su Mu stopped, looked up, and saw a man with reddish-brown hair, holding a knife, standing quietly with his eyes closed.

As if sensing something, the man with reddish-brown hair suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, a chilling aura made him unconsciously take a small step back.

Even just one glance from him was enough to make Su Mu feel breathless with the imposing aura in his eyes.

The man with reddish-brown hair opened his eyes, saw Su Mu, nodded slightly, then closed his eyes again, holding the knife, and continued to stand there quietly, seemingly immersed in his own world, no longer paying attention to anything around him.

Su Mu glanced at the man again before leading Su Hualuo and Xiang Naihu toward a house next to the training ground.

He knocked on the door.

Soon, footsteps could be heard coming from inside the house.

The door opened quickly, and 'Arakawa Akihiro' came out yawning. Seeing that it was Su Mu, he said helplessly, "It's so late, I thought you weren't coming."

"Sorry to bother you."

"It's nothing, after all, you paid a lot more money."

Arakawa Akihiro shook his head, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the little girl beside him, and he asked with some confusion, "Who is this?"

"This is my friend's child. He asked me to take care of him these past few days, and I couldn't leave, so I just brought him with me."

Su Mu explained.

Arakawa Akihiro didn't pay much attention to these things.

"Oh right, I saw a man when I came in just now. He looked really powerful. He was...?"

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Arakawa Akihiro probably knew who it was, and a respectful expression appeared on his face: "He is our senior brother, Himura Kenshin, and also Master's most powerful disciple. He is also the most likely person in our Hiko Dojo to defeat Master and seize the title of Battosai. He is also currently the most powerful person in the Hiko Dojo besides Master."

"Kenshin Himura!"

Su Mu sighed, no wonder it felt so dangerous to him.

This character belongs to the cast of "Rurouni Kenshin," and is a main character just like Tanjiro in "Demon Slayer."

"Next, I will continue to explain the techniques of the 'Flying Sword Style' to you..."

Arakawa Akihiro also spoke at this moment.

"it is good."

Su Mu sat up straight and nodded seriously.

………………

Time flies

Su Mu diligently followed Arakawa Akihiro in learning the "Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu" style. Facing the threat of the Demon Slayer Corps, he desperately wanted to master this swordsmanship specifically designed for killing, in order to improve himself.

An hour later, 'Arakawa Akihiro' also stopped teaching: 'It's too late, let's end it here for today.'

"it is good."

Su Mu nodded, and at the same time beckoned to Su Hualuo. Kanao, the girl who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the room immediately ran to Su Mu's side.

"We're leaving."

He said goodbye to 'Akihiro Arakawa'.

Arakawa Akihiro nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "How about you come during the day next time? You'll have more time during the day and more energy..."

"I'm sorry, I'm too busy during the day, and I can only spare a little time at night."

Su Mu shook his head, full of apology.

"Okay then."

Arakawa Akihiro nodded helplessly. He had no intention of prying into other people's private affairs. Although he had some complaints in his heart, he reluctantly accepted the money given to him.

Of course, besides money, another important reason was that the other person's learning progress was very fast, unlike that blockhead who bothered him.

…………

Holding Kanao's hand, Su Mu left Arakawa Akihiro's place. As they passed the spacious training ground, Su Mu paused slightly.

The man named Kenshin Himura still stood there quietly with his eyes closed, surrounded by silence, with only the sound of his soft breathing.

Su Mu nodded to her, then took Aoi Hanarou's hand and left the "Hiko Dojo".

…………

Town, a hotel

The red lanterns hanging above the storefront chased away the darkness of the night, casting a soft red glow on the ground. Under the soft red light, a woman in a kimono could be seen resting on the counter.

Su Mu led Su Hualuo and Kanao into the inn.

At this time, no guests were checking in, so there was no one else in the lobby except for the woman who was resting.

Su Mu walked to the counter, stretched out his finger, and tapped on the counter.

The proprietress, who was resting, was startled awake. She opened her still-sleepy eyes and looked at the two people who appeared in front of her. She was clearly surprised that someone would come so late.

Do you need housing?

"Um."

Su Mu nodded: "Get a room. I'll be staying here long-term, so the room should be as nice as possible."

"no problem."

The proprietress glanced at Su Mu and Su Hualuo. Xiang Naihu, an adult and a child, who didn't seem like vicious people.

Although the landlady was still a little sleepy, she still forced herself to lead Su Mu to see the room.

Since she heard that Su Mu would be staying there for a long time and wanted a nice room, the landlady naturally chose the best hotel, a small detached house next to the courtyard.

Su Mu looked around the room. It was very clean, with complete bedding, toiletries, and a large storage box.

"This is the one."

He spoke, taking out a large sum of money: "I'm a bit of a germaphobe and don't like being disturbed, so I don't need outsiders to disturb my room. Without my permission, no outsiders are allowed to come in. As for the food, I'll have Kanao come out to get it during the day. When you see her, just give the food to Kanao..."

Although the landlady found Su Mu's request a bit strange, she didn't pay much attention to it. Every year, guests who rent rooms in the hotel come from all over the country, and there are all sorts of quirks and personalities. Besides, the money he offered was more than enough.

"it is good."

The landlady nodded in agreement and handed over the room key.

Su Mu took the key, then led Ayumi Hanako and Kanae into the room, closed the door, and bolted it.

Once inside, Su Mu moved the bed aside, picked up his Nichirin Blade, and silently began digging.

Digging is hard work, but for a tireless and extremely strong ghost, it is very simple. As for the soil he dug out, he put it directly into the cabinet. Fortunately, the cabinet was very large and could hold a lot of soil, so he didn't have to find a way to transport it out.

In half an hour, a simple pit was dug out. Then, a lid was found and put on the pit. The bed was then pushed onto the pit, and the dirt on the ground was swept away. Only after confirming that everything was almost done did they raise their heads and look outside.

Before we knew it, the sun was about to rise again.

For evil spirits, whenever the sun rises, they must hide in the dark corners of the world like rats lurking in underground tunnels.
