Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

The night was deep and still, with only the Butterfly Mansion's two villas bustling with activity.

After finishing with Mitsuri, Tamayo, Daki, and Nezuko, Lan Mingang arrived at Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri's villa.

Inside Kanao's room, Lan Mingang reached out and stroked Kanao's cheek, asking:

"Kanao, do you still remember the feeling I told you to remember, the one called 'love'?"

Kanao nodded, having kept the feeling from that day firmly in her mind since Lan Mingang kissed her and left last time.

Just as Lan Mingang was preparing to misbehave, Shinobu Kocho, who had been hiding in the room, vigilantly guarding her sister from Lan Mingang's night raid, burst out of the closet!

"Mingang! Let go..."

Before Shinobu could finish speaking, Lan Mingang directly pinned Shinobu to the bed as well.

"Shinobu, you didn't really think I didn't sense you, did you?"

"Then let's all do it together!"

If Kanzaki Aoi hadn't been in the villa with the three little ones, and they were living together, Kanzaki Aoi wouldn't have escaped last night either.

Time passed quickly, day by day.

A month later, both Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri had reached the point where they could easily kill the training automaton, Yoriichi Type Zero, in the Swordsmith Village.

During this time, Lan Mingang and the women had also moved into a new, large villa built by Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

Lan Mingang also took the opportunity to capture Kanzaki Aoi.

"Mingang, are Kanao's and my strengths sufficient to kill Upper Moon Two, Doma?"

Inside the Swordsmith Village's hot spring, Shinobu Kocho asked while lying in Lan Mingang's arms.

Lan Mingang pinched Kanao's little butt and said, "As long as you don't get cocky and follow my instructions, you'll definitely be able to kill Doma with one strike."

"Really!?" Shinobu Kocho and Kanao asked excitedly.

"Of course, you two were personally taught by me, after all. Killing a Doma is a piece of cake."

"When shall we depart?"

"Tomorrow morning, perhaps."

Killing demons doesn't necessarily have to be done at night. The daytime has the advantage of the sun. Even if Shinobu and Kanao fail to kill Doma instantly, they can rely on destroying the house to let the sun kill Doma.

......

As night fell, in a remote village in the countryside.

With black hair and blue eyes, always frowning, and wearing a blue magatama on his neck, Kaigaku saw a very beautiful vase painted with aquatic plants by the roadside after finishing his mission.

"No one wants it?"

Kaigaku picked up the vase and examined it carefully.

Just as Kaigaku wanted to see what the bottom of the vase looked like, the vase he was holding suddenly began to shake.

Not only that, but the weight of the vase was also increasing sharply.

Realizing something was wrong, Kaigaku quickly threw down the vase and drew his Nichirin Blade, slashing at the vase on the ground.

However, before he could hit the vase, two goldfish flew out of it.

The goldfish shot out several bone spurs carrying venom from their mouths, not only knocking away the Nichirin Blade in Kaigaku's hand but also piercing into Kaigaku's body.

Paralyzing Kaigaku.

"Oh ho ho, what good luck."

"To actually encounter a Demon Slayer!"

A strange voice came from the vase on the ground.

A creature with two mouths where its eyes should be, and an eye where its mouths should be.

Its forehead also had a third eye, with three red dots above it.

Without ears, it had a total of four arms on both sides of its head.

Only having an upper body, with five arms on each side, and a lower body consisting of a black, striped substance, the creature crawled out of the vase.

Kaigaku, who had originally wanted to pick up the Nichirin Blade on the ground and counterattack the two goldfish that had ambushed him, immediately collapsed onto the ground upon seeing the strange creature emerging from the vase.

No other reason.

It was only because Kaigaku saw the words 'Upper Moon' 'Five' on the creature's two eyeballs respectively.

"Upper Moon Five!"

Kaigaku collapsed on the ground, his eyes filled with terror.

"Don't, don't, don't kill me..."

"I beg you!"

"I'll take you to kill my companions... will you spare me...?"

"Ah le? What a cowardly Demon Slayer, a bit rare indeed."

Gyokko twisted his body, looking down at Kaigaku, who was collapsed on the ground.

Remembering the task Muzan Kibutsuji had given him, Gyokko suddenly asked:

"Do you know where the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters is?"

Seeing that Gyokko wanted to ask him questions, Kaigaku bowed and prostrated himself, saying:

"I know! I can take you to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, but you have to promise me, spare my life!"

Did Kaigaku know the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters? Kaigaku originally didn't know.

But because of Ubuyashiki Kagaya's seed plan—to leave behind a seed of hope for Muzan Kibutsuji's re-emergence a century later.

The vast majority of capable Demon Slayers were recalled to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters for unified arrangements.

Kaigaku therefore learned the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Holy crap?

Gyokko was dumbfounded. He originally thought this Demon Slayer would be like other Demon Slayers, vowing to die rather than submit.

Or simply knowing nothing when asked.

But who knew this guy would actually agree so readily.

Could it be a trap!?

Upon recalling that even the invincible name among the Upper Moons, Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, had died at the hands of Demon Slayers, Gyokko couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Seeing that this Upper Moon Five didn't directly agree to his request, Kaigaku steeled his heart and said:

"I can become a demon!"

"As long as you can let me live, I can become a demon and lead you to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!"

"Oh!?

Gyokko was shocked once again.

Is this even a Demon Slayer?

Fake, right?

Having killed Demon Slayers for hundreds of years, Gyokko had never seen such a craven fellow before.

"Interesting!"

Gyokko twisted his body, carefully examining Kaigaku, who was still prostrating on the ground.

After thinking for a moment, Gyokko decided to turn Kaigaku into a demon and then have him lead the way to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

The main reason was that Gyokko didn't dare to trust Kaigaku's words.

This guy was too cowardly; he looked like a double agent and couldn't be trusted deeply.

But if he became a demon, he could be trusted. Because demons cannot do anything harmful to Lord Muzan.

However, before that, he had to ask Lord Muzan for instructions and obtain his permission.

If they really found the legendary Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, it would definitely be unrealistic to rely on himself alone to annihilate everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

He would need to gather other demons.

Gyokko casually conjured a dark, mottled vase, and several enormous octopus tentacles emerged from the vase, wrapping around Kaigaku on the ground, leaving only half of his head exposed for breathing.

"As long as you honestly lead me to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, I will definitely not kill you, and it's even possible that I'll turn you into a noble demon."

"But if you deceive me, hmph hmph, I'll make you wish you were dead."

After uttering those harsh words, Gyokko returned to the vase and began to call Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Lord Muzan!"

"Lord Muzan!"

"I have a major discovery to report to you!"

"I've found the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!"

Inside the Infinity Castle, Muzan Kibutsuji, who was busy researching a potion that could turn him into a perfect being, connected Gyokko's call upon hearing Gyokko say he had a major discovery.

"Gyokko!"

"You better really have a major discovery!"

Inside the pot, Gyokko's cheeks flushed with a mysterious red upon hearing Muzan Kibutsuji's voice, and he said excitedly:

"Ah~ Lord Muzan, it's really a major discovery! I've captured a Demon Slayer who can lead me to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!"

"Gyokko... are you tired of living!?" Muzan roared in anger.

Captured a Demon Slayer who could lead a demon, and even the Upper Moon Five demon, to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters?

Do you think you captured a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps?

Or did you capture Ubuyashiki Kagaya's son?

The demon blood in Gyokko's veins was constantly ravaging Gyokko's body.

"Ah~"

Gyokko screamed in excitement from the pain.

Lord Muzan was clashing within his body~

"Lord Muzan, it's true! If you don't believe me, take a look~"

Gyokko requested a video call with Muzan Kibutsuji.

Seeing that Gyokko was still trying to convince him even after being tortured so painfully, Muzan switched to Gyokko's perspective with skepticism.

Gyokko crawled out of the pot and looked at Kaigaku, who was bound by octopus tentacles.

Under Gyokko's control, the octopus tentacles left only one tentacle binding Kaigaku, so that Lord Muzan could see Kaigaku's full appearance.

"Lord Muzan, this Demon Slayer said that in order to survive, he can first be turned into a demon."

"Then he can lead the way, so there will be no behavior of betraying you, Lord Muzan, and you can also discern whether what he says is true or false."
