Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

"hold head high!"

Why would she steal your room?

"Who knows what illness she's having this time! She's been mentally unstable for a long time now."

Whatever Sabito was cursing on this side, Yayoi on the other side couldn't hear at all, and even if she did, she wouldn't take it to heart.

Let them scold me, it won't hurt me.

Mimi inherited the warm blankets that Sabito had finally managed to make, and Yayoi slept exceptionally soundly.

……

After finally following behind a Kasugai crow whose name she couldn't recall, she found the hidden man in charge of building the camp. Yayoi then made a huge move, holding her Nichirin Blade to his neck.

"You little brat, are you messing with me?! You built my base deep in the mountains!"

"It's almost as far from the town in Jingqiao District as it is from headquarters!"

"Why don't you just build my base on the seabed?!"

With his life threatened, Yin wisely refrained from confronting Yayoi and instead tried to appease her:

"I'm innocent, Lord Naruhashi! These bases were built exactly according to your specifications..."

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because once she mentioned it as required, Yayoi immediately demonstrated what it means to be furious:

"Bullshit! When did I ever say I wanted to build the base in the middle of nowhere?!"

“Uh…” Hidden raised his hand to hold the Nichirin Blade, and moved to the side, afraid of being accidentally injured. “Lord Naruhashi, you said it yourself, it must be the same as Lord Sound Hashira’s base.”

"so what?"

"If we want a natural hot spring like the Sound Pillar's in the base, we can only build it on the mountain..." Yin almost cried.

I've seen unreasonable people, but I've never seen anyone this unreasonable.

Why do you want both?

I want it to be like the Sound Pillar, but I don't want it to be built in the mountains.

What, do you think I can conjure up a natural hot spring for you?!

God knows how many mountains he and his friends had to climb to find a place with hot springs in Kyobashi Ward. Now his friends want to cut ties with him.

Why is life so hard...?

As I was thinking about it, I couldn't hold back any longer, and tears just started flowing.

"Why don't you just kill me..."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Yayoi took the opportunity to back down, rolled her eyes, and sheathed her Nichirin Blade.

"Dream on. I can tell you're a really wicked guy."

"You want to deliberately get yourself killed so you can make me pay you back, huh?"

"Ha, I'll make sure you don't get your way."

Seeing Mi arrive and leave in a huff, Yin was truly at his wit's end.

He was utterly wicked in his past life, and in this life he's been assigned to work under a female demon.

I can't stand this lousy job anymore. I'm going to ask the lord to let me transfer to the four-eyed tailor. Let whoever wants to do this lousy construction work do it!

Chapter 28 Wow, my mom is awesome! My mom can transform!

After the last snowfall, time flew by, and spring was so short that it was over in the blink of an eye.

The days after becoming a Pillar of Sound were not as painful as Yayoi had imagined.

It's also possible that when the lord wanted to add a territory to Yayoi's domain, Yayoi went to the Ubuyashiki mansion and cosplayed as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll symbolizing good weather), thus protecting her rights and avoiding having to run around to several different places like those two unlucky guys, Makijuro and Gyomei.

Yayoi, whose workload is the lightest, simply goes out for a walk around her jurisdiction every night. If she encounters an unlucky guy, she'll slit his throat on the spot; if she doesn't, she just treats it as a post-dinner stroll to digest her food.

Occasionally, I'll take on a mission, venturing to some remote, obscure place to rescue a group of unlucky souls who were almost eaten by Lower Moon demons.

Ever since she almost died at the hands of Upper Moon One, Yayoi has been dealing a complete blow to the Lower Moons, relying on the idea that if she can't beat the older ones, she can't beat the younger ones!

"You noob, it's one thing to be ugly, but you're still so bad even after you've turned into a ghost."

Yayoi continued her usual taunting tactic, followed by a fatal blow. With a single basic attack, the demon's head rolled to the ground like a ball, its eyes filled with resentment.

"Why...why...it's impossible..."

"It's so noisy." Yayoi kicked her head away with practiced ease and looked at the two lucky survivors beside her.

"Can you two still walk on your own? Do you need us to call someone to carry you?"

“No need, Lord Naruhashi,” a seemingly honest swordsman forced a smile in response to Yayoi. “My Kasugai Crow has already gone to inform the nearby ninjas, so I won’t trouble Lord Naruhashi.”

"You're the one who knows what's good for you, kid." Yayoi nodded in satisfaction, then squatted down in front of the honest-looking swordsman and looked him up and down. "By the way, haven't I seen you before?"

“Yes, Lord Naruhashi.” The swordsman nodded. “My name is Kubino Masachika. I encountered a Lower Moon near Kyobashi Ward last time and asked you for help.”

"Oh, so you're quite popular with Lower Moons. You're definitely lucky. Train hard, and one day you'll kill a Lower Moon and become a Pillar-level swordsman."

Yayoi, in a good mood, chatted with Konno Masachika for a while, then got up and looked at the sky.

It had just gotten dark, and if I went to town now, I could catch my mother off work and sneak a peek.

The thought of Shizu brightened Yayoi's mood noticeably.

Lord Naruhashi's emotions have always been unpredictable, a fact that is well-known within the Demon Slayer Corps and is not explicitly stated in the manual.

Kugeno Masachika didn't ask any more questions. After watching Yayoi disappear from sight, he obediently followed his unconscious companion and was carried by Kaku to the nearby Wisteria House.

Half an hour later.

The two groups of people miraculously met on the edge of town.

"What a coincidence, we meet again, Lord Naruhashi."

Yayoi glanced at Masachika Kamino, who was lying on a stretcher and awkwardly waving to her.

"..."

"You bastard, you're stalking me?!"

"No, no, no..." Kugeno Masachika's survival instinct kicked in, and he waved his hands repeatedly before Yayoi could draw her sword.

"It just so happens that the nearest house with wisteria flowers is in this town."

"Really?" Yayoi sheathed the half-drawn sword and turned her gaze to Yin, who was carrying the stretcher.

"Mmm-hmm!" Feeling uneasy under Yayoi's gaze, Hikaru nodded hastily, fearing he would be implicated.

"Oh." Yayoi lowered her guard and turned to leave.

Thankfully, I didn't run into any sasaeng fans. With my damn charm, it's not impossible for someone to follow me.

Seriously, if these guys delay me, I might miss my mom getting off work and coming home.

It's been a while since I've seen my mom, so I'll reward myself by watching her for a few more minutes this time.

Yayoi walked happily toward the Shinazugawa family's residence.

Huh? That person in front of me...doesn't she look a bit like my mom?

Is Mom tired today? Why is she walking so strangely?

Yayoi had always worried that getting too close would attract the attention of that petty Shinazugawa, so she had always just followed from a distance to take a quick look.

So much so that he escorted his mother home from get off work countless times over six months without ever being discovered.

With Mom about to arrive home, I wonder where that little white-haired kid has gone today.

"She's really incredibly incompetent," Yayoi thought to herself, repeatedly bringing up Sanemi and giving her a thorough dressing-down.

Just as Yayoi was about to leave after seeing that Shizu had arrived home safely, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why is Mom drooling in front of the door? Why have Mom's eyes changed color?

not good!

"Mom's back."

"I'll go open the door for Mom."

"mom!"

Yayoi dared not delay any longer. She took a deep breath, channeled all her leg strength, and flashed behind Shizu almost instantly.

The door opened.

Shizu swung a claw toward the door, but luckily Yayoi arrived in time and used the back of her knife to twist Shizu's neck backward, preventing the claw from landing on Hiro and Sadako, who were running the fastest.

There was no time to comfort the terrified children in front of him. Shizu, who had been knocked to the ground by the knife, was about to blame Yayoi.

This gave Yayoi a bit of a headache.

That son of a bitch, Muzan Kibutsuji! What are you doing wandering around aimlessly!

It's blanched!

Yayoi really didn't want to cut off Shizu's head.

But now it's clear that these children saw their mother turn into a monster. If we ignore it, these children won't survive the night.

Sin ah.

Forget it, let's take Mom outside of town first, so that no one else sees her and then we can't settle this privately.

“Yayoi-neechan…” Both Sumi and Genya remembered Yayoi.

Sumi hugged the nearly terrified Sadako tightly, asking, "Yayoi-neechan, is that... Mommy?"

Yayoi clicked her tongue, unsure how to explain it to the children.

"I guess so." Seeing that Shizu was about to attack the children in the house again, Yayoi had no choice but to cut her arm.

Fresh blood gushed out, and the stench of blood was incredibly attractive to Shizu, who had just been transformed into a demon.

Yayoi dodged Shizu's attacks and led Shizu towards the outside of the courtyard.

"If your eldest brother can get home before dawn, let him go to the woods east of town."
