Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

"Ugly appearance?"

Lan Mingang shook his head.

"Mei is not only not ugly, but also very beautiful."

"In addition to her white hair and azure blue eyes, after she grew into a girl, people would strike up conversations with Mei whenever she walked on the road, and Mei's smile could easily obtain tributes from others."

"Because of the existence of a beautiful younger sister, Gyutaro's inferiority complex has also disappeared."

"Everything seems to be developing in a good direction..."

As he spoke, Lan Mingang began to carefully examine Daki in front of him.

"Miss Warabihime, I think if Mei's age was the same as yours, except for the color of her hair and pupils, her appearance should be basically the same as yours."

"It's just a pity that her age will forever be fixed at thirteen years old."

Listening to Lan Mingang's narration, Daki always felt that this story was a bit familiar.

Especially after hearing that Mei's grown-up appearance was basically the same as her own, and that her age would forever be fixed at thirteen years old.

Daki frowned slightly, and her heart trembled inexplicably.

An emotion called sadness spread in Daki's heart.

What's wrong with me? Why is this happening?

Daki asked:

"Why is Mei's age forever fixed at thirteen years old? Is she... dead?"

"Yes, she died. Not only did she die that day, but her brother, Gyutaro, also killed the enemy to avenge her. After killing the enemy, he hugged Mei, who had lost too much blood, and fell on the street."

"That night, it was very cold, the night was very dark, and it was also snowing."

"Gyutaro protected Mei under him, letting the wind and snow blow, without moving a bit..."

"......"

After a moment of silence, Lan Mingang picked up a handkerchief from the side and handed it to Daki.

"Miss Warabihime, you... are crying..."

Daki came back to her senses and reached out to touch her cheek.

A tear had flowed from the corner of her eye at some point, slowly moving down her cheek.

I... what's wrong with me?

Why does my heart hurt so much?

Mei... who exactly is she?

Daki didn't take Lan Mingang's handkerchief and asked:

"How did Mei die?"

"And who is her enemy?"

Lan Mingang put away the handkerchief and said:

"Mei was burned to death. Born on the Rashomon riverbank, her future was already destined from the moment she was born."

"That is to become a prostitute."

"That day was her first time receiving a guest. The guest was a samurai, but because the guest insulted her brother Gyutaro, Mei used scissors to poke out the guest's eyes."

"As for the result, as you can imagine, Mei was tied up by the samurai and burned in a fire."

"When Gyutaro, who had gone out to collect debts, returned, his very beautiful younger sister, Mei, who liked to follow him all the time, was lying in a pit burned by fire, her body charred and her face unrecognizable."

"While Gyutaro was grieving, Mei's madam led the samurai and tried to kill Gyutaro as well."

"Gyutaro was unprepared and was cut in the back by the samurai's sword. Although he tried his best to kill the madam and the samurai, everything was irreversible."

"Gyutaro hugged Mei and sought medical attention, seeking help, but no one paid any attention."

"Heavy snow fell, and Gyutaro protected Mei under him..."

After that, it was about Douma turning the two into demons, which Lan Mingang naturally wouldn't say.

All of this needs Daki to comprehend and recall on her own.

When the will of a demon is strong enough, then it is entirely possible to restore memories.

For example, Tamayo, or Nezuko, or Upper Rank One, Kokushibo.

Daki's nature is not bad. Because she didn't have human memories when she became a demon, and her age and mind were not mature, coupled with Gyutaro's encouragement and doting, this led to Daki's current personality.

If Daki can restore her memories from when she was human, her temper will probably be much gentler.

Although her current appearance is very beautiful, coupled with her cold personality, it is indeed quite interesting, but it is definitely not as good-looking as white hair and blue eyes.

"Miss Warabihime, my story is finished, do you have any more questions?"

Daki did not answer Lan Mingang's question.

Filled with sadness, she is now trying hard to recall her memories from when she was human.

As Daki listened to the story told by Lan Mingang, Daki felt more and more that the Mei in the story was herself when she was human.

The Gyutaro in the story had two sickles as weapons, and her brother also had them.

The Gyutaro in the story worked as a debt collector, and her brother also often used debt collection as a catchphrase when fighting enemies.

The Gyutaro in the story had a white-haired younger sister, and her brother also had a white-haired younger sister.

Except that one has azure blue eyes and is named Mei, and the other has yellow eyes and is named Daki.

Everything else is the same...

Brother, come out quickly...

Daki, I feel so uncomfortable...

Suppressing the grievances and sadness in her heart, Daki gently waved her hand towards Lan Mingang and said:

"Young Master Lan, let's stop here for today."

"I'm not feeling well."

"Then, Miss Warabihime, we'll see you tomorrow..."

What needed to be said has already been said, so there is no need for Lan Mingang to continue staying here.

Whether Daki can awaken her memories from when she was human depends on tonight.

Lan Mingang once again left the Kyogoku House under the embrace of the madam and a group of girls in the shop.

After Lan Mingang left, Daki returned to her room on the grounds of being unwell.

As soon as she returned to the room, tears flowed from the corners of Daki's eyes again, and then it became uncontrollable.

Even Daki herself doesn't understand why she is crying.

"Brother, come out quickly — —"

"Wuwuwu ~"

Daki knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying, hoping that her brother Gyutaro could come out and solve her doubts.

Gyutaro, who had been attached to Daki's back, gradually grew out of Daki's back after hearing Daki's call.

"Ah, sister, I didn't mean to damage your clothes."

Gyutaro said apologetically when he saw that his appearance had torn the clothes Daki was wearing.

Daki shook her head, not taking this matter to heart.

What she is most concerned about now is whether she is Mei and whether her brother is Gyutaro.

"It's okay, brother."

"Brother, do you know Mei?"

"Mei! ?" After hearing Daki say the name 'Mei', some images of Daki when she was human flashed through Gyutaro's mind.

"Ah!"

"Damn it!"

"What are these things!"

Gyutaro suddenly curled up on the ground in pain, constantly scratching and scratching with both hands.

Even if he scratched out blood, he still had no intention of stopping.

"Bastard!"

Gyutaro frantically used his fists to hit his head, trying to drive those painful memories out of his mind.

However, the more Gyutaro did this, the clearer the figure of Mei in his mind became.

Looking at the frantic Gyutaro, Daki stopped crying in confusion.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

As Mei's figure completely appeared, Gyutaro finally stopped hurting himself.

The memories of when he was human have been completely recalled.

Looking at Daki kneeling on the ground, who had not recalled her memories from when she was human.

Gyutaro did not intend to let Daki also restore her memories from when she was human.

Because they lived too hard when they were human.

He didn't want to let Daki experience that burning pain again.

It would be best if Daki could forget it.

I will bear all the suffering.

Mei.

You just need to live happily the life you want.
