Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

Before it even got dark, Yayoi pulled some strings and forced Yuichiro into a small team to go on a mission. He wouldn't be seen by Yayoi for at least three to five days.

Inosuke is always missing, who knows which mountain he's off to be a mountain king on again. Yayoi is too lazy to look for that pig. He'll know to go home when he's hungry. It's even better if he can't find his way home. Anyway, his mother isn't at the camp anymore, so the dancing pig is useless.

It's not far, but there's a section of mountain road that's not easy to walk on. At this point, Sanemi will probably carry her mother on her back and continue on her way. It should take her at most two hours to reach the town where Sumi and the others are.

Yayoi closed her eyes, unable to fall asleep. Tossing and turning, only two words echoed in her mind: "regret".

Tsk, it's all that damn Upper Moon Two's fault.

If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have had to shorten her lifespan, and if she hadn't, she wouldn't have been able to give up her mother.

Oh shit!

The more Yayoi thought about it, the angrier she became, and she lost all sleepiness.

Anyone who dances in front of Yayoi at this time is simply unlucky.

For example, Inosuke spent three days staking out a pheasant nest and finally managed to raid it, bringing back seven or eight wild eggs to give to his mother.

"I'm back!"

With a loud crash, Inosuke, carrying his spoils wrapped in his never-before-worn shirt, was struck by a wild boar and plunged headfirst into the yard.

Startled, Chacha-chan, who was dozing in the pavilion, instantly activated her Spinosaurus form.

Ignoring Chacha-chan's challenge to a fight, Inosuke grabbed a bag of wild eggs and headed straight for Shizu's room.

"Look! I brought you something nice!"

The door opened, and the house was empty.

"Hmm? Did they go to the backyard?" Inosuke placed the delicious wild eggs one by one on the windowsill so that Shizu could see them as soon as she returned.

After arranging his troops, Inosuke left the room quietly, quite satisfied, and searched the entire yard for Shizu.

There is no flowerbed.

Hot springs? No.

There is no pavilion.

There is no kitchen.

Why is the pot empty?

Hungry Inosuke had intended to grab a bite of the leftover rice from Shizu in the pot, just like before, but the empty pot made Inosuke's big, bright eyes instantly shrink into tiny, beady eyes.

"This isn't right, is it?"

"Isn't there dinner today?"

Grabbing Chacha-chan by the tail, Inosuke subjected the innocent Chacha-chan to a brutal interrogation, demanding, "Tell me! Where did you hide that woman?!"

"Meow!"

"Temple? You wretched, hairy four-legged monster! How dare you hide that woman there..."

Enraged, Chacha slapped Inosuke's arm, almost making him learn to speak human language on the spot.

Foolish humans!

"Stop arguing, Mom has gone home."

Yayoi always walks silently, and her sudden appearance behind Inosuke startled him. She loosened her grip, allowing Chacha to escape her clutches, leaving Inosuke with two more bloody welts before swaggering onto the roof and disappearing into the distance.

"Hiss—" Inosuke gasped in pain, not daring to yell at Yayoi, and instead blamed Chacha-chan, the only person he could currently beat, for it. "That wretched furry four-legged beast!"

After cursing Chacha-chan, Inosuke's single-core processor finally had a chance to ponder Yayoi's words, "Go home? Isn't her home right here? Where did she go back to?"

"It's none of your business where my mom goes. Just remember this: if my mom thinks you're too noisy, she'll tell me she doesn't want you anymore."

Inosuke stuck his little finger into the nostril of the boar's head mask. "Weren't you abandoned too? She doesn't want you anymore, right?"

“I knew all along that she was the mother of that white hedgehog.”

“You are just like me, an orphan without a mother.”

Inosuke has always been straightforward, and out of consideration for Shizu, Yayoi has never disciplined Inosuke for this in front of her mother.

The protective umbrella was gone, but he still retained the same speaking habits as before. That night, Inosuke almost died at the age of thirteen.

Fortunately, Inosuke's luck stat was maxed out, and Kaigaku returned to the camp that night after finishing the mission, preventing Inosuke from turning into a giant in the pond.

After following that energetic water column on a mission, he was exhausted and had to come back to deal with this pig. Kaigaku was also extremely annoyed.

Without even taking off his shoes, he waded into the pond, picked up Inosuke who was floating on the surface, and threw him towards the edge of the pond.

Artificial respiration? He doesn't even deserve such a luxury. Kaigaku grabbed Inosuke by the neck and slapped Inosuke across the face twice.

Inosuke pulled himself together and spat out a mouthful of water, saving his life.

"Am I still alive?"

"I'm awesome."

Lying flat on the ground, Inosuke was in pain all over his body. After regaining consciousness, he managed to say these two sentences.

"You got beaten up by that she-devil? Why?" Kaigaku asked Inosuke, wringing out his wet team uniform.

“I told her that he was an orphan like me, and she started beating me without any reason!”

"..." Kaiyue sensed that things were not going well.

Without bothering to wring out his uniform any longer, Kaigaku rushed straight towards Shizu's bedroom.

Where is Mrs. Shizu?

"I don't know, the she-devil said she went home," Inosuke shouted.

Kaigaku closed the door and decisively walked out of the camp.

Inosuke, who had finally managed to sit up after recovering, was knocked down by Kaigaku, who was walking briskly, and fell flat on his face.

"Hey! Didn't you just get back?"

"Don't tell anyone I came back, or I'll beat you up again."

After warning Inosuke, Kaigaku headed towards headquarters without looking back, intending to find more people to team up for a mission.

We can't go back to the base for at least a month, otherwise the female devil will definitely take her anger out on us!

……

After casually tossing the unconscious Inosuke, covered in bruises, into the pond, Yayoi picked up her Nichirin Blade and turned to leave the camp.

Why bother sleeping? Go take a stroll around the area to vent your anger.

He claimed to be inspecting the area, but in reality, he ended up circling around the same alley outside the Shinazugawa family's courtyard, just like a few years ago.

Compared to the shabby log cabin of a few years ago, the Shinazugawa family has now been rebuilt by Yayoi with a huge investment into a three-story Western-style villa, which is rare in the whole town.

There's no other way; we have too many younger siblings, and we can't keep squeezing them into two small wooden houses.

Even if Shoumei and the others are willing, as their older sister, I can't just let them live a miserable life because they're so confused, can I?

The room sounded lively, and Genya and Sumi seemed to be having a good time.

Mom too.

Yayoi stood there for a while, clenching and unclenching her hands, before finally turning away with a somber expression.

As soon as I turned around, I bumped into a rock hard chest.

"Since you're already here, come in and sit for a while."

"Mom is actually quite reluctant to part with you."

Chapter 122 Go cook, brother-in-law, don't let my sister go hungry.

I thought I would see Yayoi moved to tears, but I actually saw Yayoi covering her nose with tears in her eyes.

"Are you okay?"

Miya hurriedly put down the large pile of things she was carrying, and then squatted down to check how serious the injury Yayoi had suffered was.

"Damn it, you almost knocked my perfect nose bridge off! Do you think I'm alright?!"

Yayoi grew angrier as she spoke, especially since this wretched little white-haired girl was the culprit who had caused her and her daughter to be separated. Yayoi grabbed Miyako's collar and slammed her head against him.

Now, there were two people squatting in the alley, covering their noses.

Without a handkerchief, and with his haori getting dirty, which he would have to wash morning and night, Sanemi used his sleeve to wipe away the blood from his nose from the impact.

He looked rather disheveled.

After stopping the bleeding, Sanemi took two more steps closer to Yayoi and poked her arm, asking, "Are you calm now?"

"No." Yayoi turned around irritably, her back to Sanemi.

"Alright, it's all my fault, no matter what."

"How about we go home and have something to eat with Shoumei and the others first? Don't keep them waiting too long, they'll worry."

Sanemi gently coaxed Yayoi, who was clearly throwing a tantrum.

"Alright then." Yayoi rubbed her nose one last time, stood up, and pointed to a pile of bags on the ground not far away. "Do you want to take all of these back?"

"Yes, I was planning to have hot pot with Xuanmi and the others, so I went to buy some ingredients."

Sanemi explained, grabbing all the bags in his own hands before Yayoi could reach for them.

"I can do it. You don't need to do any work while I'm here."

"Alright then." Yayoi didn't stand on ceremony with Sanemi any longer and turned to walk towards the front door.

Knowing the place well, Yayoi could ring the doorbell even without a light.

Just seconds after the sound rang, the door was opened from the inside.

"Brother, come back... Sister Yayoi!"

When Sadako, wearing a birthday hat, saw who was standing at the door, her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed into Yayoi's arms with lightning speed.

Yayoi caught Sadako in her arms, took a closer look at the birthday hat on Sadako's head, and turned to question Sanemi:

"Why didn't you tell me it was Sadako's birthday beforehand? Were you trying to trick me into coming empty-handed?"
