Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life.

"Really? So how do you and Shinobu Kocho usually communicate?"

"We don't communicate much."

"You can't do it like this," Xia Sheng said, looking at her with disdain.

"..." Kurihana Raku Kanao silently lowered her head.

"In that case, come on, give me a shoulder massage," Xia Sheng said, patting his shoulder.

"Shoulder massage?"

"Won't you?"

"It is possible... but why?"

"Why so many questions? Isn't it enough that I'm Kagaya's benefactor?"

But I...

"Hurry up, stop dawdling," Xia Sheng urged.

"Yes..." Kanao Tsuyuri found that she couldn't refuse, so she could only obediently come behind him and start massaging him.

Everyone knows how to give a massage.

Her slender hands rested on Xia Sheng's shoulders, gently applying pressure and kneading them little by little.

"Put some force into it," Xia Sheng instructed, shaking his shoulders.

"Yes."

"Hmm, it's barely acceptable. Keep it up." Xia Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

"it is good."

Kanao Tsuyuri is easy to handle. This girl has no opinions of her own, and if he is a little forceful, she will obediently listen to him.

The two of them continued like this, one giving a massage and the other enjoying herself, until Shinobu Kocho returned.

"Mr. Xia Sheng!"

As soon as she returned, Shinobu rushed to Natsuo, her expression excited and thrilled: "Thank you!"

"I didn't save Kagaya for you."

"I know, but I am very grateful that you replied, my lord."

"If you want to thank me, please prepare a room for me. I'll be staying at the Butterfly Mansion for a while."

"no problem!"

"Then go and get it done quickly."

"Okay... Kanao, what's this?"

Shinobu Kocho didn't care about Natsuo's rudeness; the fact that he saved their lord was enough to make him stay.

But just as she was about to leave, she saw that Xia Sheng's younger sister was actually giving him a massage.

what's the situation?

“I’m getting a massage,” Kanao Tsukihana replied.

"I can tell... but why are you giving Mr. Natsuo a massage?"

"He told me to press it."

"You just pressed it?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Natsuo, why did you have Kanao give you a massage?"

"Anyway, she has nothing to do, so I'll find her something to do so she won't overthink things."

“I see, that makes sense. Kanao, you can continue. I’ll go and help Mr. Natsuo set up a room first.”

"Ok."

After Shinobu Kocho left, Kanao Tsuyuri continued to massage Natsuo diligently.

She wasn't just spacing out; Xia Sheng's words made her think a lot and she had a certain idea.

"Mr. Xia Sheng."

"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng replied with his eyes closed.

"I'd like to ask, besides you, who else can deal with evil spirits?"

"just me."

"Only you... then can I be like you too?"

"Hmm?" Xia Sheng opened his eyes and turned to look at her.

"You want the power to fight evil spirits?"

"Yes." Kanao Tsukihana nodded vigorously.

"I won't ask you why, I do have a way to help you deal with evil spirits."

"really?"

"There's no need for me to lie to you; you just want to pay the price."

"I'm willing to pay any price!"

"Don't be so definitive. What if it's your personal freedom?"

“This…” Kanao Tsuyuri hesitated.

"Giving you power is easy, but once you have it, you'll be mine and have to obey me. Are you willing?"

Is this really necessary?

"This is the price. I'm not trying to make things difficult for you."

"I...I'll think about it."

Shouldn't we make the decision by flipping a coin?

"how do you know?"

"I know everything."

"Who exactly are you?"

"I've already said I'm just a savior who happened to be passing by."

"..."

"Let's not do the coin toss; I want you to make the decision yourself."

"Own?"

"Yes, I want you to gain power from me through your own will, and to make up your mind to become one of mine."

Why did you make me do this?

“I don’t need someone who can only obey. You need to have your own ideas, be able to think for yourself, and make your own decisions.”

"Mr. Xia Sheng...you seem to know me quite well?"

"I know you better than you think."

"You know me?"

"know."

"But I don't know you."

"We'll get to know each other later."

"Is that so?"

"In short, think it over carefully. Think about whether the decision you're about to make is worthwhile. Is it worth it for you to entrust your life to me to kill evil spirits?"

"lifetime......"

"Take your time to think about it."

No longer allowing Kurihana Kanao to massage him, Natsuo picked up his wooden box and left.

Shinobu Kocho had already prepared the room, though of course she didn't prepare it herself; she had Kiyoshi Terauchi help her decorate it.

The room was very simple, with just a bed and nothing else.

That's normal. What else could there be in this world, in this era?

Xia Sheng sat down on the bed, set up a barrier to block the sun, and then opened the wooden box.

Inside, the little guy opened his eyes, his innocent gaze fixed on Xia Sheng.

"Do you still recognize me?" Xia Sheng looked at her and asked softly.

"Hmm." Nezuko nodded gently.

"Come out here, I have something to tell you. Don't worry, it's dark outside."

"Hmm." Nezuko obediently crawled out.

"Good girl." Xia Sheng rubbed her head.

After Nezuko crawled out, she didn't look around, but just stared at Natsuo with her big, innocent, and curious eyes.

Chapter 623 Nezuko's Kiss

"Nezuko, you should be able to understand what I'm saying, right?" Natsuo asked, just in case.

"Hmm." Nezuko nodded gently, her little face serious.

"That's fine then." Xia Sheng reached out and rubbed her little head.

With his years of experience in using head-patting techniques, he easily made Nezuko squint and enjoy it.

“Nezuko, your brother has gone to train with someone to become stronger. From now on, you'll have to follow me,” Natsumi said again.

Nezuko was still conscious when she was separated from Tanjiro Kamado, so she now knows that Natsuo is the savior of her and her brother.

"Yes." Nezuko nodded, indicating that she understood.

"If you want to see your brother in the future, I can take you. Don't be shy with me, okay?"

"Ah."

“Very well, now let’s talk about the most crucial thing.” Xia Sheng became serious. “You should know your current situation, right?”

"Hmm..." Nezuko nodded dejectedly.

She still knew that she had become a ghost, including the fact that she almost harmed her own brother.

"You don't need to worry too much. Ghosts aren't considered dangerous anymore. The real danger is evil spirits."

"Hmm?" Nezuko tilted her head in confusion.

"You don't know yet, but I want to tell you about ghosts."

Natsumi briefly explained the origin of demons and the Demon Slayer Corps, which has been fighting against demons all along.

After hearing this, Nezuko felt even more distressed; she had actually become such a sinful being.

"It's okay." Xia Sheng smiled and patted her head.

"Huh?" Nezuko looked up at him, puzzled.

"Ghosts can be good or bad, you know?"

Nezuko shook her head; she didn't understand.

"Simply put, only ghosts that have eaten people are evil. You haven't done anything yet, and you won't do it in the future, right?"

"Hmm!" Nezuko nodded vigorously; of course she wouldn't eat people.

"Then there's no problem. You're a good ghost, no one will come after you."

"Mmm." Nezuko nodded happily.
