Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The dead are buried in the graves.

There is a cemetery behind the Ubuyashiki family, where the Demon Slayers who died in the battle with demons are buried.

Most of them are orphans and have no other family members, so the lord and his family are responsible for tomb sweeping and offering sacrifices.

The lord often comes here to visit the sacrificed swordsmen, and every year he brings tributes to worship on behalf of their families.

It is not quite accurate to say this, it should be more accurate to say that they are worshipped as family members.

The lord can remember each of their names, life stories, achievements, levels, and even what they like to eat and what hobbies they have.

Therefore, every year the lord will order people to bring these things and put them accurately in front of each swordsman’s tombstone.

Shimi stood in front of these tombstones, clenching his fists.

Thinking of the trial of Nezuko in the yard in the morning, Shimi felt uncomfortable.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of wind behind him.

Shimi turned around instantly, stretched out his hand, and a gourd fell into his hand.

"What's wrong with you like this?" Shimi frowned, and what caught his eyes was Kuang Jin with a bandage on his head and a plaster cast on his left hand hanging around his neck.

Kuang Jin smiled awkwardly: "I'm so lucky to have met the Twelve Demon Moons. If the other party hadn't retreated suddenly, I would have been lying here . "

Shimi sighed: "Since you are injured, go back and rest well. Why are you running around?"

Kuang Jin said: "I heard from Master Mingzhu that you came here, and I am a little worried. Master Mingzhu also told me about the things before the meeting of the pillars."

Shimi looked at him and whispered: "Master's performance today, on the surface, is to help me. But think about it carefully, in fact, he is using me to help the Kamado brothers and sisters prove that Nezuko Kamado can still not be affected by my blood after consuming energy to heal her wounds, and suppress the urge to eat people. Whether it is the pillars present or other team members, most of them will let go of their hostility. "

Kuang Jin was stunned, and said with some doubts: "Isn't this good? At least we know that there are ghosts who don't eat people, and they can stand on our side. "

"What a joke!"

Shimi suddenly yelled: "A ghost that doesn't eat people? How can such a thing exist? Once it becomes a ghost, even if it faces its own flesh and blood, it will kill without hesitation like a hunting beast. As a ghost, can it fight for an unrelated human? I don't believe this.

The cannibalistic instinct of ghosts cannot be suppressed by willpower. It can be suppressed in the short term, but the bloodthirsty instinct will continue to erode their reason, and in the end they will still become evil ghosts who eat people. Don't you think it's ridiculous that ghosts can fight to protect humans? As a mother, she can become a man-eating beast and regard her children as prey. Why would she protect strangers?"

"Shimi..."

Kuang Jin looked at Shimi like this and didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

He had also heard about Shimi's mother from Shinya.

Shimi's knot was here. Kuang Jin had to stand on Shimi's side to persuade him, but once he stood on Shimi's side, there was nothing to persuade him.

What could he say? Let Shimi not be too extreme? Let him accept the fact that there are non-human ghosts?

What does it mean for Shimi to accept this fact?

It means that Shimi must admit that his mother's instinct to eat people after becoming a ghost overwhelmed her love for her children.

Perhaps there is another possibility, which is even more difficult for Shimi to accept.

That is, his mother can still be saved and there is a chance to awaken her memory, but Shimi watched her die in front of him.

Although different from the original work, in this time and space, Shimi did not kill his mother with his own hands.

But the moment Shimi arrived, watching his mother turn into ashes in the sun, he actually regarded his mother as an evil ghost in his heart.

At that moment, the creature in front of him was no longer his mother, but an evil ghost who intended to hurt his younger brother and sister.

Therefore, from Shimi's point of view, if he admitted that Nezuko was an evil ghost, it meant that he had to deny his former self.

Either admit that his mother did not love him enough, or admit that he did not try his best to save his mother.

No matter which possibility it is, it is not something Shimi can accept in a short time.

......

At the same time, in a restaurant near the Ubuyashiki family, Shinya and Mitsuri were having a big eating contest.

Seeing the bowls piled higher and higher in front of the two, the people around them

The guests and the team members were stunned.

"This... Mitsuri-sama... "

"As expected of a pillar, she is so powerful even when eating!"

"Ah! My little cutie Mitsuri, my dream is shattered."

......

There are actually many big eaters in the Demon Slayer Corps, at least the pillars' appetites are not small.

Xingmei's appetite is even bigger than Mitsuri's, but his tall and strong body makes his appetite look not exaggerated.

Moreover, Xingmei eats very calmly, and the visual impact is not strong. He often eats several days' worth of food for ordinary people without knowing it.

And Shinya, needless to say, the energy that normal food can provide him is far less than the energy obtained by directly extracting the life of a demon. Shinya eats these foods completely to satisfy his appetite and enjoy his rights as a human.

Although the ultimate goal is to become an ultimate creature, Shinya does not think that he will completely separate from humans and become a lofty existence that does not eat worldly fireworks after becoming an ultimate creature.

On the contrary, even if he became the ultimate creature, he evolved from humans and could never get rid of his basic color.

Just like humans, no matter how much they claim to be the spirit of all things, they can never get rid of the basic color of mammals.

Therefore, in order to get enough food for a day, Shinya's appetite is naturally very exaggerated.

However, Shinya is also 1.9 meters tall, and visually he is a double-door that is no less than Xingming, so eating so much is not too unacceptable.

But Mitsuri, with a cheerful, gentle personality, treats people kindly, looks like a cute girl.

Except for the strange hair color, there is really nothing special about her, of course, being particularly cute does not count.

Therefore, when there were so many bowls in front of Mitsuri, everyone was stunned.

I heard that Mitsuri joined the Demon Slayer Corps because she failed in blind dates and no man was willing to marry her, just to find a good husband.

Many team members were wondering before, how could such a cute girl, who has almost all advantages except the strange hair color, not want anyone?

Now that the case has been solved, some team members who admired Mitsuri are planning to stay away from her after seeing this scene.

From today on, there is no more cute Kanroji Mitsuri, only the respected Lord Koihashira.
