I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"OwO?"

Yuhaka looked down at the petite woman lying on the ground at his feet, wearing a beautiful hat with large feathers. Then, for some reason, Yuhaka felt that he smelled a familiar scent, just like the one he smelled on Riko.

"Hey~ OwO"

Yuhaka poked the hat of the person lying on the ground with its big tail, but there was no reaction. Then, after hearing a gurgling sound, Yuhaka knew that the person had fainted from hunger.

Then Yuhaka carried the person to a suitable place and started cooking. As the aroma of the grilled fish Yuhaka made wafted over, the petite woman lying on the blanket sniffed her nose, then suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the blanket.

"This is... the smell of grilled fish?!"

Following the direction of the smell, the petite blonde girl (or perhaps the young woman?) looked at the grilled fish on the grill. Although the grilled fish was very attractive to the blonde girl who was hungry, the little girl with pointed horns and animal ears next to the grilled fish attracted her attention even more.

"Huh?? A living corpse?"

Hearing the blonde girl's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at her, saying:

"Youyou, it's not a living corpse."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, the blonde girl was also surprised. Originally, the blonde girl thought Yuhaka was a zombie, but the way Yuhaka spoke shocked her. After all, she had never heard of anyone who could maintain their sanity after becoming a zombie.

This is indeed a significant discovery!

Then the blonde girl looked at Yuhaka and said:

"My name is Lysa, little one, your name... is it Youyou, right?"

"Hmm? Hmm, Youyou's name is Youyou."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, the blonde girl, Ryza, gave a strange look and said:

"Youyou? Hmm... that name sounds a bit strange."

"OwO? That's weird?"

Yuhaka looked completely bewildered. He didn't find anything particularly strange about his own name, but the name Lysa seemed familiar... However, he quickly couldn't remember why and stopped thinking about it.

.................................................. .........

After chatting with Ryza for a while and treating her to a nice meal, Ryza suddenly asked her if she wanted to go on an adventure with her. Yuhaka refused Ryza's invitation, after all, Yuhaka's intuition told her that Ryza "had ill intentions." In fact, Ryza wanted to freeload off Yuhaka's meal, so it couldn't really be considered ill intentions, right?

After being rejected, Lysa was neither angry nor frustrated. She simply stretched, said goodbye to Yuhaka, and went to explore this place known as the City of No Return.

Just as Yuhaka was about to leave, Zelus sent him a message saying:

"Alright, Youyou, your world is stable now. I'm sending you back to the time period you left last time. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka decided to say goodbye to Faputa and leave. Zelus agreed, as leaving without saying goodbye would be too much, and she didn't want Yuhaka to become a freeloader.

After bidding a reluctant farewell to Faputa, Yuhaka, with the help of Zelus, returned to the correct time period.

......................................................

In the world of Demon Slayer, after Tanjiro and his companions defeated the former Lower Rank Six, the Drum Demon, they were able to avoid encountering the person who flew out of the house and fell to the ground dead because they were there earlier. They also managed to defeat the two demons and the former Lower Rank Six inside the house.

While Tanjiro and the others went to rest, Ji Lin felt relieved enough to head to the location of Mount Natagumo. After learning the location of Mount Natagumo from the nearby towns and villages, Ji Lin drove his horse, Pipi, to the location of Mount Natagumo. Along the way, Ji Lin also chatted with Zelusi.

"Phew, finally got Yuhaka back on his original trajectory."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin was also taken aback and said:

"Did Master Youyou return it to its original location?"

Regarding Ji Lin's question, Zelus tapped the system panel to indicate yes, and Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief. If Yuhaka was alright, then there was no problem. Zelus then asked Ji Lin:

"By the way, Ji Lin, are you planning to go to Mount Tajiro?"

Ji Lin nodded in agreement, as he wanted to eliminate all the demons on Mount Natagumo before the Demon Slayer Corps arrived.

Zelus didn't say anything after learning Ji Lin's thoughts, because such a small matter was too easy for Ji Lin. After all, Ji Lin had learned Ripple Breathing and was basically like a human sun. If a demon had its head chopped off by Ji Lin, it could be said to be dead.

Aside from Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons who maxed out his escape and survival skills (shameful).

Chapter 459 [Mount Natagumo]

After traveling for almost a day on a horse, Ji Lin finally arrived at the foot of Mount Natagumo. Looking at Mount Natagumo before him, Ji Lin couldn't help but sigh:

"This mountain is really big..."

Although Ji Lin appeared relaxed, she was actually quite troubled inside. After all, Mount Natagumo was simply too big. If she were to search such a large mountain by herself, she didn't know how much time it would take to find the Lower Moon Five [Rai] family within Mount Natagumo. However, given the nature of those demons, they probably wouldn't let her, who had entered Mount Natagumo, go.

"Using yourself as bait..."

Ji Lin stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility of this method. On his way to Natagumo Mountain, Ji Lin knew that this mountain was originally a hunting ground for hunters from nearby villages and towns. However, that was in the past. Afterwards, more and more humans disappeared on Natagumo Mountain, making the surrounding people afraid to come to Natagumo Mountain anymore.

This is also why the Demon Slayer Corps noticed the demons on Mount Natagumo, right?

However, this is none of Ji Lin's business anymore. After Ji Lin finds those demons, he plans to kill all the demons on Mount Natagumo before the Demon Slayer Corps can do so.

But now...

Ji Lin looked up at the bright sun in the sky, a helpless expression on his face, and said:

"Right now, none of those ghosts have come out, have they?"

Although Ji Lin didn't know the situation inside Mount Natagumo, it was basically very difficult to find ghosts during the day, since you didn't know where they would hide. But at night, the ghosts would definitely come out and take action, and then she would be looking for the ghosts and the ghosts would be looking for her, and they would definitely find each other.

All she has to do is cut off the ghost's head.

.......................................................................

After the sun had completely set, Ji Lin, who was eating a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), stuffed the remaining roujiamo into his mouth, washed his hands, wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and then went up the mountain to exorcise the ghost.

On Mount Natagumo, Hime Rin walked along a frequently used path. The chances of encountering ghosts on these paths were quite high, since ghosts knew where to ambush people most easily...

Soon, Ji Lin noticed something amiss, such as the presence of spiders and numerous spider webs around them...

However, Ji Lin pretended not to see it, after all, it wouldn't be good if the other party got away.

squeak squeak...

Strange noises rang out around them, and several spiders tried to descend from the sky onto Ji Lin. However, before they could land on him, Ji Lin drew the Xuanyuan Sword from his waist and slashed upwards.

"【Sword Shape - Flaming Moon】"

As Ji Lin swung his Xuanyuan Sword, creating a fiery crescent slash in mid-air, the spiders that tried to land on him instantly turned to ashes and vanished from the world.

Meanwhile, a white-haired woman, who was controlling a spider created by her Blood Demon Art, was sitting on a large rock in the distance. The spider silk she was controlling suddenly dropped, surprising her.

She initially thought it was just another poor creature that had wandered into her hunting grounds, but to her surprise, it wasn't a poor creature at all, but a sparrow.

"Hmph, you just got lucky and found my spiders. Let's see how many you can defend against now."

As she spoke, the white-haired woman revealed a ferocious smile as she manipulated the silk threads in her hands.

As for Ji Lin.........

Ji Lin swung his flaming Xuanyuan Sword, burning the surrounding spider webs to ashes. Even so, some spiders still managed to pounce on Ji Lin, but this was no problem for him.

"Hmm... what should we do? Dealing with so many spiders is quite troublesome. Is there a more effective method?"

Then Ji Lin realized that these little spiders were the blood demon magic of the spider mother.

If that's the case.........

"【Rhythmic Ripple】"

As the light from Ji Lin's body rippled continuously, any small spiders that approached Ji Lin instantly turned to ashes and disappeared from the world, just like ghosts being exposed to sunlight.

Seeing that his method had worked, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, even demons' Blood Demon Art is afraid of sunlight, just like demons themselves. However, the range of this ripple effect is still too short, only affecting about 5 centimeters away from me at most..."

Although the distance is short, it's enough to defend against those small spiders. Now, Ji Lin needs to find the ghost who controls the Blood Demon Spider.

Meanwhile, the Spider Demon Mother, who was controlling the Blood Demon Art from afar, also noticed that her Blood Demon Art turned to ashes as it approached the girl. This terrified the Spider Demon Mother. What she feared was not Hime Rin, but the leader of all the demons on their Natagumo Mountain, the Lower Moon Five.

The thought of being punished for failing to stop the intruder, and the memory of being punished for failing to stop a Demon Slayer Corps member last time, sent a shiver down the spine of the Spider Demon Mother. But at that moment, she noticed that the little girl, who looked like a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, was walking towards her as if she had been spotted.

"Damn it... Did I get caught?! Oh well, I'll use that one!"

As she spoke, the Spider Demon Mother manipulated her Blood Demon Magic, and instantly a headless, gigantic muscular man appeared before her. Although the gigantic muscular man had no head, he moved quite nimbly under the Spider Demon Mother's control.

Meanwhile, Ji Lin was observing the spider webs in the forest through his special vision. Although the spider webs were intricate, they all had a common direction. Ji Lin felt that he could find his target by following the direction of these spider webs.

dong dong dong-

As the weighing procession echoed, Ji Lin noticed a headless figure appear before him. Seeing the headless figure, Ji Lin knew that his method was correct.

Chapter 460 [Double Kill]

Looking at the enormous, headless figure before him, Ji Lin did not panic. Through his vision, Ji Lin could see dozens of spider silk threads on the headless monster's body. Ji Lin immediately knew how to deal with such a monster.

dong dong dong——!

The headless monster, controlled by the Spider Demon Mother, charged towards Ji Lin and swung its wrist blades at him. Ji Lin dodged the attack by turning around and then slashed off the arm that was attacking him with his sword. Before the Spider Demon Mother could react, Ji Lin also cut off the headless monster's right foot.

Boom!

With one leg cut off, Shouwu immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground. At that moment, Ji Lin swung the flaming Xuanyuan Sword at the top and back of Shouwu, instantly cutting off the spider silk on Shouwu's body.

The Spider Demon Mother, watching from afar, was startled to see the spider silk on her hand snap. She hadn't expected her puppet to be defeated so quickly.

Just then, a voice rang out not far in front of the Spider Demon Mother.

"Ah, I found it."

"Eh?!"

The Spider Demon Mother, who had abruptly raised her head, looked on in shock at the figure wielding the golden sword that had appeared not far from her. Panic gripped her, and Ji Lin approached her step by step, saying:

"You're the one controlling those little spiders and puppets outside, aren't you?"

Seeing Ji Lin walking towards her step by step terrified Spider Demon Mother, causing her to fall off the rock. The power Ji Lin had just displayed terrified Spider Demon Mother, and she hadn't even noticed how the little girl had gotten there.

"You, you don't come any closer—!"

The Spider Demon Mother used Blood Demon Art to summon a large number of small spiders and released them towards Ji Lin. Unfortunately, these small spiders were all instantly killed by Ji Lin when they rushed over. Then, before the Spider Demon Mother could react, Ji Lin used Ripple Sword to cut off her head.

Ji Lin looked back at the corpse that was gradually turning to ashes and sighed, saying:

"I hope you'll be reborn into a better family in your next life..."

As he spoke, Ji Lin suddenly thought of a question: Where are the other spider demons?

This is a big problem. Ji Lin gets a headache just thinking about it. If only she had pressed that spider demon mother to find out where the other demons are.

However, thinking of that pitiful creature's plight, Ji Lin sighed and said:
