Demon Slayer: I will play the ancestor of the Flame Pillar

The first time, the first time, was a big mistake.

Outskirts of Tokyo.

Somewhere in the base of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Speaking of which, how long do we have to wait? Hasn't the little ancestor arrived yet?"

In the spacious house, Makijuro tapped the chess pieces from time to time.

As the current head of the Purgatory family, Lin Heng must be present for the first meeting between the Demon Slayer Corps.

Playing chess opposite him is the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Umayashiki Yoya.

Yoya has been ill for a long time and can only lie on the soft couch, but his voice is still gentle.

"Please wait patiently, Makijuro, someone has gone to invite that lord."

"Is it Kanroji Mitsuri? Where did she go? Why didn't she meet at the headquarters?"

"Asakusa, not far from here. The headquarters is remote, and I don't want Lord Rengoku to be away for too long."

"Lord, how did you know where Xiaozu is? Why didn't you let me or Kyojuro go?"

Makijuro's eyes narrowed slightly, and his body gradually leaned forward like a vigilant rabbit.

"Master, who is Tamayo? I don't seem to have heard of this name in the Demon Slayer Corps."

Faced with Makijuro's continuous questions, Yoya slowly raised his body, and he said frankly and sincerely.

"Kanroji volunteered to go and greet her, and as for Miss Tamayo..."

After a silence, Yoya said.

"She is a demon."

————————————

Three hours ago.

Asakusa, Tokyo.

Chachamaru's healing house.

Mitsuri Kanroji pushed open the door and entered the house that was ignored by the passers-by.

"Gu, Gugu!" Gugu, who was the first to sense it, rushed into Mitsuri's arms.

Gugu, who was expecting to be fed, did not get the reward as usual and looked up in confusion.

Mitsuri's face was as gloomy as water, and she walked up the narrow stairs without saying a word. The conversation between the two people came from the end of the corridor.

"Ms. Tamayo, please take more care of the development of the human transformation drug. I need you to fulfill that condition soon."

"I understand, Lord Rengoku, you still have something to do, so I won't bother you anymore."

The wooden door opened, and the dignified and beautiful woman walked out.

She saw Mitsuri in the aisle and was a little surprised, but soon bowed and bowed and slowly walked away.

Looking at Tamayo's departing back, Mitsuri hesitated for a while, let go of the Nichirin sword in her hand and walked into the room.

"Mr. Rengoku, I'm here to pick you up."

Lin Heng smiled and greeted Mitsuri as if he didn't notice her strangeness.

"Thank you for your hard work. I thought it was Makijuro who came."

"Senior Makijuro is waiting for you at the base. The Demon Slayer Corps has sent out the highest standard of reception this time."

Mitsuri and Lin Heng walked out of the hut together and went to the destination one after the other.

Feeling the complex emotions that kept surging in Mitsuri beside him, Lin Heng could only sigh secretly.

Some things, even if they are just a layer of window paper away, need to wait for the other party to speak first before that.

Forgive me, Kanroji, this is the last time...

The two hurried on their way in silence, and in the end, it was Mitsuri who broke the strange silence first.

She couldn't help but turn her head and ask.

"Mr. Rengoku, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Tamayo just now is a ghost, right?"

"That's right, Ubuyashiki should have told you that Miss Tamayo has overcome the instinct of a ghost, and now her purpose is the same as yours."

Mitsuri nodded.

"Nezuko, Tamayo, and the boy with a cold face downstairs, three of them appeared at once, is it easy for demons to overcome their instincts?"

Lin Heng's voice was a little dull.

"It's actually very difficult. Even if you succeed, there will be sequelae, and it's probably not polite to describe it as 'only'."

"I see..."

After passing the edge of the city, the road became more and more off-center, and the gradually dense woods cast shadows.

Mitsuri's figure gradually slowed down and stopped in front.

Lin Heng's body flashed a few times and landed beside her, knowing that he was an advisor.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

"Nothing, we're almost there." Mitsuri shook her head and bowed deeply to Lin Heng.

"Thanks to you for recommending me to join the Demon Slayer Corps, I was able to meet everyone and accept my true self. The time here is the happiest day of my life."

Under the super perception, the other party's emotions were turbulent, and Lin Heng's eyes gradually darkened.

"Don't thank me, that's your own talent. You are much different now than you were back then. Only by accepting your true self can you grow."

"Yes, but compared to two years ago..."

Took a deep breath and looked directly at Lin Heng's eyes.

Eyes, Mi Li gritted her teeth and said with a firm look.

"Mr. Purgatory, you haven't changed at all."

Under the moonlight, Lin Heng leaned back tactically, his face was covered by the mottled shadows of the trees and could not be seen clearly.

Many times, before the moment of making a test, people often have the answer in their hearts.

The long-lost "ding" sound rang out, and the real value that had been shrinking for two years began to climb.

The black handwriting that flashed back and forth on the ability entry was finally fixed.

The thorough change started from the depths of the genes. Every cell in Lin Heng's body was constantly broken and reborn at an astonishing speed.

In this endless cycle, everything in the body became tougher, stronger, and more... inhuman.

The burning sensation of purgatory kept coming.

Only extreme pain can make mortals transform and become more noble ultimate life forms.

After a long two seconds, the pain gradually faded, replaced by the false feeling of being almost omnipotent after the sublimation of the essence of life.

Dark golden lines spread across Lin Heng's body, and finally outlined the sacred lines of the three-legged bird on his chest.

The glorious evolution ended here.

Looking at the man who took a step back and then stopped moving, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri suddenly took two steps forward and held up his left hand under Lin Heng's surprised eyes.

"What is the real you?"

Swish--

The sound of a sharp weapon scratching the skin sounded.

"There is not even a trace of blood on it."

Ganlu Temple Mitsuri carefully observed the pink knife hidden in her palm and finally sighed.

A pink heart-shaped pattern slowly emerged on her fair neck.

"Is it because the wound healed too quickly?"

Looking at the sudden appearance of the pattern, Lin Heng finally came to his senses and slowly moved forward.

"Relax, you are too nervous."

The black shadow gradually completely covered the girl in front of him.

————————————

“…So although Miss Tamayo is a demon, she has overcome her cannibalistic instinct and has been in contact with our ancestors for hundreds of years. That’s it.”

Ubuyashiki Yoya gave a complete explanation.

Makijuro nodded in surprise, and then said naturally.

“I see, no wonder you accepted Nezuko so easily. It seems that we are still very open-minded about such demons.”

“No, that’s different. Nezuko grew up under the care of Lord Urokodaki. Miss Tamayo and the Demon Slayer Corps have a hundred years of trust.’”

The blind eyes stared at Makijuro accurately, and Yoya shook his head slowly.

“But for some people, we have no way of knowing any of his experiences.”

“It’s a great secret, but don’t involve the Demon Slayer Corps. It’s your Ubuyashiki clan’s family affair.”

Putting away his leisurely smile, Makijuro’s expression became serious.

"Is it really appropriate to tell me this news, Yoya?"

"There is nothing appropriate or inappropriate. As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, I must be responsible for all the members."

Yoya straightened his shoulders, and at this moment he really had the majesty of a leader.

The Demon Slayer Corps is a violent organization hidden in the shadow of the empire. This leader who has always acted gently was unusually tough when he was about to die of illness.

However, there are people who are much tougher than him.

Clang——!

The red sun blade was unsheathed, and Makijuro stood up and blocked the moonlight in front of Yoya.

The people hiding in the dark were all shocked.

"Stop it, Mr. Rengoku!"

"Stop, don't be rude to the lord."

"Are you going to betray the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Father..."

"Sure enough, there are so many people hiding, are all the pillars gathered?"

With a sigh, Makijuro opened his pupils like blazing fire and looked down at Yoya.

"Tell me, Ubuyashiki, what do you want to do?"

(I'll take the Level 6 exam this afternoon, and I'll probably have to send it in. I wonder if any prospective college students are reading this. For non-foreign language majors, I sincerely advise you to take it in your first or second year of college, because you'll forget everything after a while)
