Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

Hehe, that felt great.

From the very beginning, Yayoi never intended to do anything to Sanemi. After all, he was her mother's precious eldest son, and if he were to be killed, her mother would be heartbroken.

The kid is pretty sensible, so there's no need to waste any more effort threatening him.

Unaware that Yayoi was teasing him, Sanemi, who genuinely believed he had escaped death and been given a second chance at life, lay motionless in the blankets.

Until I heard Yayoi's steady breathing.

"madman……"

Sanemi stretched his hand out from under the covers again and touched his neck, which was still aching slightly.

Yayoi slept soundly until dawn, while Sanemi dared not let herself fall into a deep sleep.

"Brother, wake up."

Sanemi, who had barely managed to get some sleep just before dawn, was also woken up by pinching his nose.

Still feeling a bit confused, Sanemi sat up and looked to the other side of the room.

The bedsheets were neatly folded and piled in the corner, but the female demon was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Yayoi-neechan?" Sanemi asked.

Sumi carried the wooden basin into the house. "Yayoi-neechan left early this morning."

"You left?" Sanemi was somewhat taken aback.

Was it because you stumbled upon their true colors that they left in a hurry, or because their rude request last night was rejected?

Tsk, that guy's wounds haven't healed at all, why is he running around like that?

Sanemi gradually became agitated, even blaming himself. If he hadn't been discovered eavesdropping last night, would that female demon have left in such a hurry?

"She...left alone?"

Sumi put the basin in the corner, turned to look at Sanemi, and shook her head. "No, it was a lady who looked about the same age as Yayoi-neechan, wearing a butterfly hair ornament, who came to pick up Yayoi-neechan."

“Yayoi-neechan left a letter for brother too,” Sumi said, pulling a neatly folded letter from her bosom.

Don't forget our promise, Sanemi.

I left a hush money behind the water tank in the yard.

Take good care of your mother and younger siblings.

And, I look forward to seeing you again.

The incredibly beautiful and invincible Yayoi Kuwashima.

Worried that Sanemi couldn't read, Yayoi thoughtfully drew something that looked like a treasure map, with the destination being the water tank in the yard.

Following the contents of the letter, Sanemi found an envelope behind the water tank.

There was a thick stack of banknotes inside, totaling two hundred thousand taels.

"Brother, is this scarf yours?" Xuanmi found a red scarf in the outer room while tidying up the house and assumed it was his brother's.

Sanemi turned around and looked at the scarf in Genya's hand. "No, this belongs to your sister Yayoi."

"What should we do? Yayoi-nee left her scarf behind."

"It's alright, just keep it safe. She'll come again." Sanemi folded the letter back up and put it in his pocket.

That female demon will definitely come back.

……

"Ouch~ Be gentle, Kanae."

Cold sweat rolled down Yayoi's forehead.

Kanae continued applying medicine to Yayoi's wounds, her hands moving constantly.

"It's already quite minor. Your wound was treated very poorly. It looks like it had even reopened. The subsequent medication was also applied very perfunctorily."

"If it's not handled properly, it will definitely..."

Unable to bear Kanae's nagging, Yayoi obediently admitted her mistake:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, sister, please stop scolding me."

After finally managing to treat her injuries, Yayoi collapsed onto the bed like a stranded fish, unwilling to move.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

How could something so painful happen?

It felt like I was run over by the tram three or four times.

"Just bear with it. The newly prepared medicine has a miraculous effect on wound healing, it's just..."

"It hurts like hell, right?" Yayoi regained consciousness, turned to look at Kanae, and replied.

"Pretty much, right?" Kanae smiled, peeled a piece of fruit candy and put it in Yayoi's mouth; it was peach-flavored.

Since there were no peaches in winter, this was the only way to soothe Yayoi's little mood.

"Delicious." Yayoi squinted her eyes and smacked her lips as she chewed the candy.

"By the way, Matsuko said you met Upper Moon One?" Kanae sat on the edge of the bed, looking nervously at Yayoi, confirming the truth of the news.

"Uh." Yayoi held the candy to her cheek, sat up, and looked at Kanae with a serious expression.

"Let me tell you, that guy is really ugly."

"How ugly?" Kanae's focus was successfully diverted by Yayoi.

"He has six eyes!"

As Yayoi spoke, she gestured to her face, "Here, here, and here."

"It was terrifying. When I looked into his eyes, I didn't know which pair to look at."

Kanae chuckled at Yayoi's playful remark, "So how did you defeat Upper Moon One?"

"We didn't win."

"Huh?" Kanae was a little confused. In her opinion, Yayoi must have defeated the demon to have come back alive.

"So they dragged it out until dawn?"

"No, not at all." Yayoi didn't think there was anything shameful about losing to that kind of monster.

To be able to hold out until dawn under such a pervert's control... that's already a long way from being human, isn't it?

They're either monsters or gods.

"Then how did you..."

"Maybe he thought I was pretty, and since he was ugly, he felt inferior and couldn't bring himself to kill me?"

Kanae didn't believe Yayoi's nonsense at all, but she didn't press the matter further.

"Alright, since you have the energy to banter, let's go see the lord."

"Huh?" Yayoi shifted back, her face full of resistance. "I'm still a patient."

Why are people being forced to work like beasts of burden as soon as they get back? That's not fair!

"It's okay, everything is prepared for you."

Kanae clapped her hands, and two hidden figures entered through the door carrying an empty stretcher.

"..."

Yayoi remained silent, then pretended to be dead, and was carried onto a stretcher.

Hate!

Chapter 21 Promotion Pillar? No! Exile to the Frontier? Yes!

The consequence of the ineffective protest was that Yayoi, dressed in the classic Butterfly Mansion hospital gown, was carried to the Ubuyashiki residence.

"It's been a long time, Miss Kuwashima." Kagaya greeted Yayoi warmly.

The method that had always worked so well to build rapport with swordsmen backfired when it came to Yayoi.

"My lord, you must get some rest." Yayoi said with concern, which left Kagaya somewhat bewildered.

What's going on? Has the sun risen in the west? When did Miss Kuwashima become someone who says such things?

Before Kagaya could figure it out, Yayoi's next sentence came crashing down on him like a stroke of luck.

"Look at you, your memory has gotten worse from not sleeping well. Didn't we just see each other last week?"

"That time I tried putting gasoline on my Nichirin Blade to see if I could make my breathing technique more powerful, and I ended up setting the dojo on fire."

"..."

Yaozai almost couldn't keep his smile on his face.

Painful memories were instantly awakened.

The headquarters is mostly made of wood, as is the dojo.

The flames that day shot up four or five meters high, and I could see them clearly even standing on the side of the main house of the Ubuyashiki.

If it weren't for Hikaru dragging the blackened Yayoi to "submit to the law," he would have thought that an Upper Moon demon had stormed into the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

On the day of the confrontation with Yayoi, Yayoi acted as if she had neither money nor life, and threatened to take off her uniform and retire on the spot if she said a few more words.

Having exhausted all other options, Kagaya could only send Kasugai Crow to gain the trust of Mr. Kuwashima.

After reading Mr. Kuwashima's reply, Yayoi obediently admitted her mistake and apologized to each of the swordsmen who were affected.

As for the contents of the letter, only Yayoi knew them, and it was also Jigoro's ultimate weapon to control Yayoi.

After that, Kagaya got a headache seeing Yayoi loitering right under his nose, so he assigned Yayoi a simpler task and sent her to Kyobashi Ward.

It's hard to say whether Yayoi's luck was good or bad, but Kagaya felt that he was quite lucky.

With this mission and her experience fighting the Upper Moon demons, Yayoi now has fifty demons. After being promoted to Pillar-level swordsman, given Yayoi's personality, she probably won't come to headquarters often to help with paperwork.

If the jurisdiction is further away, Yayoi will have to come to headquarters less often.
