Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

After settling Shizu in, Yayoi carefully ensured that the room was properly shaded and locked it before leaving.

Now I don't have to worry about that damned Sarutobi accidentally trespassing into the forbidden area again when I'm not around.

Sitting on a stone bench in a pavilion in the courtyard, Yayoi stuffed handfuls of red dates into her mouth.

It's sweet, but not tasty.

It has a date-like flavor.

Yayoi rewarded herself with two plump, juicy peaches after completing her task, having eaten a plate of red dates as her meal.

After finishing the peach at lightning speed, he casually tossed the pit into the pond, startling the fat koi carp, which darted about in all directions.

"Tch, coward."

A bolder koi peeked out and blew a bubble at Yayoi.

Yayoi, with her sharp eyes, noticed the fish.

Hiss... It's become human-like?

And they even dared to secretly curse at me.

Is it about to become sentient?

No, I have to get rid of this guy quickly, lest he come back and take revenge on me someday.

As soon as Yayoi stood up, the koi sensed the killing intent and immediately turned and plunged into the school of fish.

Having finished eating and scaring everyone she needed to, Yayoi went back to her room to continue sleeping, completely satisfied.

The following evening, Yayoi, who was patrolling in the mountains, received a reply from Tamayo.

Chachamaru was still the messenger, but he didn't look too well.

It looks... a bit like a male cat.

Before taking the letter, Yayoi, always eager for a good show, picked up Chachamaru by the hind leg and glanced at him. Oh dear~ the male cat's dignity is gone.

"Hahaha, Chacha Maru, no, it should be called Chacha Sauce now~"

Chachamaru didn't want to understand what Yayoi meant, so she lay down and covered her ears with her paws.

I'm not listening, you're just spouting nonsense!

Honestly, nothing is more heartbreaking for a cat than having the woman it loves perform a sterilization procedure on it.

What's even more devastating is that the anesthetic was administered to him by his love rival.

Why should only mine be uninstalled? Yushiro's should be uninstalled too!

After teasing Chachamaru, Yayoi pulled out Tamayo's reply from her small backpack.

Just as she took the letter out, Chachamaru took two steps forward and disappeared.

Why are you running so fast? Do you know I was the one who suggested sterilization? That shouldn't be the case.

As Yayoi pondered, she unfolded Tamayo's reply.

There was a lot of polite talk, which Yayoi skipped and only read the useful parts.

Tamayo's explanation is that Shizu drank Yayoi's blood for the first time, so he would regard Yayoi as a close person.

Shizu's obsession in life was to become a mother who could protect her child, which is why she amplified this obsession infinitely after becoming a demon.

Fortunately, during this time I've been giving my mother my own blood to drink, so she sees me as someone close to her. Having me is enough for her.

Yayoi breathed a sigh of relief, marveling at how wise her previous decision had been.

"I wonder what changes Mom will undergo when she wakes up this time~ I'm so excited~"

In a good mood, Yayoi strolled around the forest in her jurisdiction for a while until she killed a very abstract-looking demon before calling it a day and going home.

I, Yayoi, am such a dedicated and hardworking model worker!

Chapter 49 This is my own junior brother, how can you call it hiring child labor?

This time, Shizu was unconscious for much longer than last time.

From the fourth day onwards, Yayoi would check on Shizu's breathing every now and then, fearing that Shizu might suddenly fall asleep and really "die".

Yayoi grew more and more anxious each day. At first, she would sit quietly at the table in her bedroom, munching on peaches and making the peach pits stand upright on the table like soldiers at attention. But then she started carving small boats out of peach pits with a knife.

After ruining the last peach pit, Yayoi stared at it for a long time before throwing the unusable product into the basket, which was full of its brothers and sisters, a whole basket of damaged peach pits.

After finishing her daily patrol once again, Yayoi did not leave her Nichirin Blade outside the bedroom this time, but instead took a whetstone back to the master bedroom.

He stood by Shizu's bedside, sharpening his Nichirin Blade, stroke by stroke.

Damn it, I've been sleeping for a whole week!

Did those two bastards deliberately concoct this medicine to starve Mom to death in her sleep?

You think your mother, who's far away from the emperor, can't find you two?

Okay, good, very good!

Yayoi held the sword upright, its blade visibly sharp, even the body of the sword was polished to a gleaming shine, reflecting Yayoi's eyes filled with murderous intent.

As dawn broke, Yayoi headed straight for Momoyama with her sharpened sword.

"Hey? Senior sister? We were just about to bring you the peaches."

Kaigaku carried a large bamboo basket on his back, while Zenitsu followed behind him carrying a small bamboo basket.

When they saw Yayoi appear at the foot of the mountain, the two brothers had the same expression: they were both completely dumbfounded.

Kaigaku took a half-step back defensively, looked at Zenitsu, and secretly asked in his heart: Did my senior sister find out that you secretly ate two peaches when you were delivering them to her last time?

Zenitsu couldn't hide anything, and after hearing Kaigaku's words, his guilty conscience was practically written all over his face.

"Senior sister... what brings you back this time?" Zenitsu cautiously inquired about Yayoi's purpose, smiling ingratiatingly as he spoke.

You can't hit someone who's smiling, right? There must be a reason why Grandpa taught me that.

Yayoi looked at the little brown mushroom-headed boy in front of her, who was laughing like he had no brain stem, and frowned: "Stop looking so stupid. Now come with me to do something."

"What's the matter?"

"Kill the demon."

"..." Zenitsu glanced uncertainly at Kaigaku, then at Yayoi, and pointed to himself: "Me?"

"Yes, you."

“But I haven’t learned it…” Zenitsu tried to struggle.

If you don't know anything and just follow your senior sister to kill ghosts, won't you get eaten by them?

Senior sister must have discovered that I was cheating on her, which is why she's trying to get rid of me, right?

"You don't need to lift a finger. Come with me willingly, or I'll knock you out and take you away. The choice is yours." Yayoi didn't want to waste any more time at this critical juncture and gave Zenitsu a final ultimatum.

"I..." Zenitsu looked like he was about to cry, and turned to Kaigaku beside him for help.

Senior brother, help me!!

Kaigaku readily looked away, rejecting Zenitsu's plea for help.

Is it really impossible to choose not to go?

Yayoi raised her hand, ready to chop—

Zenitsu immediately chickened out, clutching the back of his neck, "I'll go! I'll go with you!"

Since I'm going to go anyway, I might as well avoid getting beaten up as much as possible.

"Senior sister... what about these peaches?"

"Kaigaku, can you carry these two baskets?" Yayoi took the small basket off Zenitsu's back and handed it to Kaigaku.

"..." Kaigaku took the basket from Zenitsu and resignedly hoisted it onto his back. "I can do it, Shine."

“Alright,” Yayoi nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed Zenitsu and left without looking back, leaving behind a less-than-pleasant message:

"Next time you and Zenitsu bring me peaches, make sure you each carry two baskets like this!"

Only after the two figures disappeared from sight did Kaigaku dare to sigh and lament his tragic fate.

Why don't you go and participate in the selection to join the Demon Slayer Corps sooner?

I feel that killing demons is better than being a free laborer in Momoyama.

Kaiyue felt like a single mother with a hard life, carrying her three-year-old son on her back and her one-year-old son on her back.

To make a living, they had no choice but to carry their two children to faraway places.

"Never mind, Zenitsu always eats two anyway, and the female demon hasn't noticed."

After walking quite a distance, Kaigaku extended his evil clutches to his "child".

Hmm~ It's quite crispy.

After teasing the peach that wouldn't complain, Kaigaku comforted himself as he carried two baskets of peaches to Yayoi's camp.

……

"Senior sister...you wouldn't send me to my death as bait, would you?"

"Senior sister, I will really get back to Grandpa safely, right?"

"Senior sister..."

On the way from Momoyama to Asakusa, Zenitsu kept talking nonstop, which really annoyed Yayoi.

"If you bark like a dog again, I'll send you to see your grandfather's grandfather right now."

Zenitsu promptly shut his mouth, demonstrating the adage "discretion is the better part of valor."

Not long after they left, Zenitsu spoke up again, weakly, "Senior sister..."

Yayoi drew her Nichirin Blade from her waist and threatened Zenitsu: "You'd better get hurt."

"I need to pee."

Well, this really is an important matter.
