Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

"My hair is the same. It used to be black like my mom and dad's, but it turned out like this because I ate too many sakura mochi."

"Oh~ how much is a lot?"

"Hmm..." Mitsuri rested her index finger on her chin, trying hard to recall, "It was probably about eight months in a row, eating 170 sakura mochi a day?"

"Tao Shao?!"

If I remember correctly, the sakura mochi I almost ate in the meeting room was about the size of a fist.

One hundred and seventy yuan...

Yayoi's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Mitsuri's flat stomach.

This is like a connection to another dimension, isn't it?

"Uh... I've always had a bigger appetite than other people since I was little."

"It's alright, being able to eat is a blessing, being able to eat is a blessing." Yayoi looked away and comforted Mitsuri.

The two walked side by side toward the reception room, chatting as they went. They found they had so much in common that they almost wanted to become sworn brothers on the spot.

"By the way, I still don't know your name."

Mitsuri stopped and looked at Yayoi with anticipation.

Oh, so this child can talk so much from the heart to a stranger.

“Kuwashima Yayoi, you can just call me Yayoi.”

“Then Yayoi can just call me Mitsuri~” Mitsuri was quite excited in response to Yayoi’s gesture of goodwill.

After all, this is the first friend who has completely accepted all the "abnormal" aspects of himself.

"...Haven't I always called you Mitsuri?"

"Eh?!" Mitsuri's face flushed bright red. She looked left and right in a panic, her embarrassment practically written all over her face. "Is...is that so? I didn't even notice~"

"By the way, is Yayoi here to visit Dad?" Mitsuri tried to change the subject.

"No, I'm here to flirt with you."

Her words were astonishing; the word "flirt" completely shut down Miri's brain.

"Flirting...flirting?"

After realizing what the word meant, Mitsuri reacted quite strongly, "This...you...I, I can't do this!"

"No, I mean...we're all girls, how can we..."

"Although I am indeed in a hurry to get married, and Yayoi, you are really beautiful and make me feel very safe, but..."

The more Miri talked, the redder her face became, and she was completely flustered.

Seeing that Mitsuri had already begun to list her strengths in an attempt to win her over, Yayoi immediately proved her innocence:

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant I wanted to recruit you into the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Demon Slayer Corps?"

Mili calmed down and stopped worrying about marriage.

That was close; we almost had to implement monogamy.

Mi breathed a sigh of relief. If that jealous little white-haired girl knew this, she'd probably be incredibly sour.

After a long explanation, Mitsuri's eyes lit up more and more as she listened.

Is the Demon Slayer Corps really such a great place?

No...did I add too much oil and vinegar?

Yayoi felt a little guilty. "Pretty much. At least there, eating a lot won't make you look like an oddball, and being strong will actually make you admired."

"Then I want to join the Demon Slayer Corps too!"

"Don't you want to reconsider?" Yayoi felt a pang of guilt.

"No, if someone as good as Yayoi joined the Demon Slayer Corps, I believe the Demon Slayer Corps is a very, very good organization!"

"More importantly..."

Mitsuri kicked the pebbles under her feet, looking a little awkward. "I think what you said earlier makes sense. Even if I really want to find a husband, I should find someone stronger than me, not someone weaker than me who will slander me to protect his own pride."

"Hmm~ It's good that you've come to your senses." Yayoi nodded in satisfaction, almost saying, "You're a promising student."

"By the way, Yayoi, what made you join the Demon Slayer Corps? Was it love or justice?"

After all, I didn't sense any deep-seated hatred between Yayoi and "demons".

“Neither,” Yayoi said, waving her index finger in denial.

"what is that?"

"For money."

"...What a straightforward answer."

The two returned to the reception room almost hand in hand, leaving Kanae and Mr. Kanroji stunned.

Kanae winked at Yayoi: No, Yayoi, did you really trick Kanroji into coming here?

Yayoi proudly raised her chin: Praising me.

Chapter 114 Xiaoxing, do you want a stepson?

No matter what the process is like, the result is always good.

On the day of their visit to Kanroji Temple, Mitsuri, full of anticipation, embarked on the return journey with Kanae and Yayoi.

Miri's parents and younger brother saw her off all the way to the gate of the hospital, their faces full of reluctance.

My daughter has grown up and has things she wants to do. As a father, I should be happy.

Mr. Kanroji tried to comfort himself, repeating the words several times in his mind, but he still couldn't help but reach out and wipe the corner of his eye.

This is the first time Mitsuri has ever left home in her life...

I'm so reluctant to part with it.

"Sister~ You must take good care of yourself!" The younger brother from Ganlu Temple stood in front of his parents, cupping his hands to his cheeks, and loudly reminded Miri.

"Mmm!" Mili smiled happily, turned around and waved to her family.

After a brief farewell, the group quickened their pace and headed towards the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"I'm so excited!"

The three of them spoke these words for the sixth time, and the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters complex came into view.

"What's wrong, Yayoi? You've seemed a bit reluctant to talk since earlier." Kanae quickened her pace and walked over to Yayoi. "Are you thinking about something?"

"Hmm." Yayoi responded, then immediately grabbed Mitsuri, who was carrying a simple bundle and wanted to continue forward, and turned to look at Kanae.

"Let's not go to headquarters yet."

"Where to? The Butterfly Mansion?" Kanae asked.

"No, go to Purgatory Mansion."

During the latter half of the journey, Yayoi kept thinking about how to get more benefits for Mitsuri.

Living in the communal dormitory is definitely not an option; it's too shabby. This child trusted me so much, and I just lured her to the Demon Slayer Corps and then abandoned her. That's just inhuman.

After thinking it over, Yayoi felt that sending Mitsuri, who had a big appetite, came from a noble family, and was a little insecure, to Anzu's side as her stepson was the most suitable arrangement.

"Purgatory?" Mili tilted her head, her eyes turning into beady ones, and asked in confusion.

"Shouldn't we take Mitsuri to see the lord first?"

"What's the point of seeing that sickly girl? There will be plenty of time to see her later." Yayoi waved to Kanae nonchalantly, then changed direction and led Mitsuri on their way back to the Purgatory Mansion.

"But..." Kanae still looked hesitant.

"Oh my~ My lord has agreed to let me send Mitsuri to Anzu's place as her stepson."

Kanae is not usually suspicious, but when faced with Yayoi, she couldn't help but ask, "When did you say that? Yesterday or the day before?"

"tomorrow."

"..."

Good grief, another case of acting first and informing later.

Kanae was at her wit's end, and her shoulders slumped with a sigh.

"Here's what we'll do. You take Mitsuri there. I'll go and talk to the lord now. If there are any changes, Hanamaru will inform you."

"Alright~ I knew you were the best, Kanae."

Before she could react, Mitsuri was dragged away from headquarters by Yayoi's arm.

"Um... is it really okay not to go see the lord immediately?"

Still retaining some semblance of normal human thinking, Miri timidly raised her hand and asked.

"What's wrong with it? It's not like meeting him once will make him immortal." Yayoi replied to Mitsuri with her hands behind her head in a nonchalant manner.

"Uh...that seems to make sense, but..."

“Alright, there’s no need for so many rules and regulations,” Yayoi said, taking Mitsuri’s clasped hands and leading her towards the Purgatory Mansion. “Of all the things in this world, nothing beats the words ‘I’m willing’.”

"Isn't this just three words?"

Mitsuri counted with her free hand, and corrected Yayoi with some uncertainty.

"Hehe~ I'd love to."

Just before nightfall, they successfully arrived outside the Purgatory Mansion.

It was Kyojuro who opened the door, and before he could, Yayoi asked with a grin:

"Xiao Xing, do you want a stepson?"

"Huh?" Kyojuro, who was opening the door for Yayoi, was just about to greet her when he was taken aback by this question.

"This... isn't that against the rules? Isn't it only Pillars who can take in adopted sons?"
