Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

I don't know if I can overcome my bad habit of not being able to sleep in a new bed. Oh well, there are only a few hours left. I can just go back to the camp and catch up on sleep after dawn.

The room was a bit dark as the lights were off.

"It's so troublesome to turn it on and then off." Yayoi muttered, groping her way to the bed in the dark. Once she reached the bed, she jumped up and threw herself onto it.

"Plop—" Yayoi buried herself deep into the soft mattress.

This is the kind of life Yayoi should enjoy after she retires...

Forget it, we'll talk about retirement later.

Every day is a good day.

I'm so sleepy. Why is Sadako taking so long? If she doesn't come soon, I'm not waiting anymore and I'm going to sleep right away.

Yayoi buried her face in the pillow, her eyelids already drooping. In her hazy state, Yayoi heard deliberately soft footsteps.

He's a very well-behaved child; he even knows to keep quiet.

Yayoi moved further into the bed, quite satisfied, and patted the side of her pillow. "Come on, put your pillow here, and don't you dare steal my blanket."

Sadako didn't speak, nor did she place a pillow.

Yayoi felt that half of the bed had collapsed quite badly, and she wondered to herself: Did Sadako eat that much tonight? Her weight seems a bit off.

It wasn't until a hand carefully rested on her waist that Yayoi realized, "This isn't Sadako at all!"

"What, it's you, kid? Where's my sweet and soft little sister?"

"Sadako wanted to prove she'd grown up, so she went to sleep in her own room." Sanemi lied without batting an eye, pulling Yayoi closer to her with a slight pull.

It's cool and refreshing, I like it.

"Go ahead and lie to me, Sanemi Shinazugawa. Do you think I'd believe you even a little bit?"

Through the thin yukata, Yayoi could clearly feel the temperature behind her, and her dislike for Sanemi reached its peak.

"It's so hot, why are you standing so close? If you can sleep, go to sleep; if you can't, get lost."

"I can sleep, I can sleep," Sanemi replied repeatedly, still clinging to her tightly without letting go.

Too sleepy to bear, Yayoi gave up struggling and let Sanemi hug her like a pillow.

"How dare you talk about Sadako like that? You're such a grown-up, why don't you sleep alone?"

"How can this be the same?" Only after confirming that she wouldn't be kicked off the bed like last time did Sanemi dare to rest her chin on Yayoi's head and rub it against her.

"Isn't it natural for us to sleep in the same bed?"

Not hearing Yayoi's response, I looked down and saw that she was already fast asleep.

She looks so cute when she's asleep...

Sanemi stared unabashedly at the person in his arms, her eyebrows, eyes, nose...so beautiful, so well-behaved.

I am so lucky.

Sanemi tightened his grip and placed a kiss on Yayoi's head.

"Good night."

Chapter 124 You cannibalistic beast, why do you pity her?

Time flew by after Shizu left the post.

It's possible that Yayoi, who used to stay at home, has found the motivation to go out. She used to only go out to patrol her jurisdiction once a week when she didn't have a mission, but now she goes out to patrol every few days.

When you're out for a long time, time naturally seems to fly by.

The peaches have fallen, the leaves have fallen, and the branches are covered with snow.

During the heavy snows of winter, that unfortunate child, Qiantu, fell ill again.

"Why are you sighing again? Did someone in your family die?" Yayoi buried her face in her scarf and breathed on it to warm her frozen face.

I don't understand why any ghost would be so foolish as to go out and do evil in this awful weather. Wouldn't it be better to just stay indoors during the winter and wait until spring when the flowers bloom before venturing out to forage for food?

"Sigh..." Sabito sighed again, looking extremely pessimistic. "Not yet, but it'll be soon."

"Yayoi, aren't we good brothers?"

“No, we’re sworn enemies,” Yayoi said irritably.

“Alright,” Sabito said, scratching his messy hair in a somewhat resigned manner, and instructed Yayoi, “If one day I need to commit seppuku, remember to be my second and give me a quick death.”

Not one to tolerate Sabito, Yayoi slowed her pace and landed behind him, kicking him in the rear and making him stumble.

"I think you're really out of your mind."

"If you're going to die, pick a good spot and bury yourself alive. Before you die, get to work. Who has time to waste with you if someone's freezing to death?"

"I..." Sabito covered his buttocks, feeling even more aggrieved, "There are other swordsmen here, can't you give me some face?"

Yayoi glanced at the two unfamiliar swordsmen leading the way. "You two heard? You saw?"

No! No!

The two Class B swordsmen walking in front didn't dare to turn their heads and stood still, mimicking the sound of rattles.

“See? Life doesn’t have that many spectators.” Yayoi shrugged, then pulled her hands back into her haori sleeves.

Blanched! It's so cold!

The demon that had troubled other swordsmen for a long time, forcing the dispatch of two pillar-level swordsmen to deal with it, wasn't very strong. It was just good at hiding and would occasionally come out to bite people when the mountain roads were difficult to traverse in snowy weather, which had a very bad influence.

If he hadn't been so greedy, he wouldn't have caught Chi's attention so early and ended up getting killed off.

Yayoi stepped on the snow demon's shoulder, pinning him to the snow, and then bent down and slapped the snow demon twice across the face.

"Run, huh? You're pretty fast, aren't you?"

"I'm so hot from all that running around."

As she was speaking, Yayoi loosened the red scarf around her neck, and white smoke began to rise from her exposed neck.

"Hey, don't do that, she's such a cute little girl." Sabito approached, carrying his Nichirin Blade, his eyes filled with pity as he looked at Yuki. "Just give her a quick death, there's no need to humiliate her."

"Little girl, don't resist. I promise you won't feel any pain."

The snow demon, trampled under Yayoi's feet, seemed to have given up struggling, its gaze towards Sabito filled with gratitude.

Loading cargo.

After scolding both of them, Yayoi took two steps back and released Yuki, giving Sabito the chance to kill Yuki.

"The Breath of Water, Form Five, the Compassionate Rain of the Dry Sky"

It's not at all like the sword technique Sabito would use with his fiery temper; it's very slow and doesn't look like it would hurt much.

The seemingly docile snow demon, who had been waiting for judgment with his arms outstretched, kicked Sabito's sword-wielding hand when the blade was just inches away from him.

Caught off guard, the Nichirin Blade slipped from his hand, and the Snow Demon flipped over and ran away.

"See? How could someone like her possibly repent?"

"After all, it's a beast that has eaten so many people."

After mocking the kind-hearted Sabito, Yayoi bent down and placed her hand on the hilt of her Nichirin Blade.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form: Lightning Flash!"

The blade flashed, and with a "whoosh," it disappeared in an instant.

As the snow demon, which had run two miles away, had its head moved, it flew through the air with a look of relief on its face, as if it had escaped a calamity.

How could this be...?

How did she manage to chase after him so far in such a short time?

Before the snow demon could figure it out, its body had already turned to ashes and disappeared into the night.

Sabito, somewhat embarrassed by having his Nichirin Blade kicked away, silently picked it up, sheathed it, and prepared to return with Yayoi.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you used to hate ghosts the most? Why are you suddenly being so kind?"

"I was just wondering, are all ghosts really treacherous and evil beings? Is it possible that there are ghosts that don't eat people or do evil? Could we not kill those kinds of ghosts according to the team rules?"

Sabito's series of questions set off Yayoi's alarm bells. Was this bastard trying to get her into trouble?

"You went to Jingqiao District, kid?"

The bewilderment on Sakoto's face seemed genuine. "What would I do there? Isn't Jingqiao District under your jurisdiction?"

"It's nothing, I was just asking. I thought you'd be happy to patrol the area for me while you're there."

"I refuse." Sabito didn't think Yayoi was joking at all; this lazy girl would really do something like that.

"So stingy."

Either way, it will get criticized, and Sagittarius has been immune to it for years.

"By the way, what do you think of what I just said, Yayoi?"

"What else can we say? Isn't the Demon Slayer Corps' rule to kill evil demons that harm ordinary people? She doesn't eat people anymore, so why bother dealing with her? Are we just bored?"

Yayoi thought she should take this opportunity to give Sabito a heads-up, so that if Shizu's affair were ever exposed, there wouldn't be no way to back down.

"Yayoi, is that what you think too?!"

"also?"

The rabbit's reaction was a bit strange. It didn't seem like it had been given a heads-up, but rather like it had done something wrong and was trying to find out what it was thinking.

"What the hell have you done?"

"N-nothing." He awkwardly and deliberately looked away, whistling as if to relax.

"It sounds awful, stop playing it." Yayoi's disgust was almost palpable.

"Oh."

……

"Alright, I've arrived."

"Don't invite me next time there's something good like this, it's freezing cold."
