I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing Shinobu's words, Ji Lin paused for a moment, then looked at Yuhaka's picture on the tablet before saying to Shinobu:

"There's nothing wrong with it, is there?"

After hearing Ji Lin's answer, Shinobu Kocho was a little dumbfounded. But no matter how she looked at the little girl with strange pointed horns and cat ears in the photo, she looked like a little girl, right?

Could it just be a little boy who looks like a girl? If so, Shinobu Kocho could understand it. Even in the Taisho era, there were similar cases of child brides. But to Shinobu Kocho, that child looked like a little girl.

Meanwhile, Ji Lin, standing to the side, didn't notice the subtle expression on Shinobu's face, and Shinobu's seemingly boastful expression as she said:

"Isn't my Yu-Yu-chan adorable, Ninja-neechan?"

Seeing Ji Lin's smug expression, Shinobu Kocho also slightly curled the corners of her mouth and said:

"Hmm, what a cute child~ But..."

Shinobu Kocho looked at the photo of Yuhaka on the tablet in Ji Lin's hand with a subtle smile and asked:

Is the child a boy or a girl?

Upon hearing Shinobu's question, Hime Rin gave a "Wow?" look and blinked before saying:

"Huh? Of course it's a girl."

Chapter 499 [Ji Lin has captured an Eohaka]

Meanwhile, Bronya and Yuhaka were having a picnic in a clearing in the wild.

Bronya, munching on corn and looking at the sky, said:

"Hmm... Well, Ji Lin's mother is so slow."

In response to Bronya's complaint, Sirin waved her hand and said:

"They must be busy with something. But why are we waiting for Ji Lin here? Can't I just open the Gate of Imaginary Numbers and go straight there?"

Hearing Sirin's words, Bronya shook her head and said:

"No, it's better to stay normal. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to scare the people of this world..."

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Sirin also showed a look of disgust and said:

"Tch, humans are so pretentious..."

Bronya sighed helplessly when she heard Sirin's words. In fact, Bronya was not worried about scaring the humans, but about Sirin and Yuhaka. If the two accidentally scared someone and they attacked them, Bronya was sure that the two would not hesitate to fight back.

Especially Youyou's mother... After all, given Youhaka's way of thinking, she would launch a counterattack on her own when attacked.

Of course, aside from the painless attacks, these attacks would leave Yuhaka with a completely bewildered reaction, like, "What's going on? I feel itchy all over."

But at that moment, Yuhaka, who was gnawing on meat with bones, suddenly sensed something and raised its head like an alert raptor, looking in a certain direction.

Bronya and Sirin, who were present, looked at Yuhaka, who seemed to have noticed something, and asked:

"Youyou's mom, have you noticed anything?"

Soon, after sniffing her little nose, Yuhaka knew who was coming. So Yuhaka stood up and ran in one direction. Bronya and the others were stunned for a moment when they saw Yuhaka running with her short legs, but then they understood what was going on.

Not far away, Ji Lin was riding his Pipi horse with Kocho Shinobu. To be honest, when Kocho Shinobu first saw Ji Lin summon the Pipi horse, she was very curious about how this mechanical horse was made. Would people in the future ride such a means of transportation?

Just then, a figure pounced down from the tree towards Ji Lin and the others. Only then did Shinobu Kocho realize that something was rushing towards them. Ji Lin noticed the creature even earlier than Shinobu Kocho. Ji Lin took the Xuanyuan Sword from her waist and transformed it into a huge insect net. Then, with a casual wave of her hand, Ji Lin scooped up the creature.

"Master Youyou, please don't grab people's clothes with your oily hands..."

Ji Lin looked at Yuhaka in the insect net in his hand with a speechless expression. Yuhaka's two little hands were covered in oil, and there were also oil stains on its little mouth.

"OwO?"

Yuhaka just tilted her head in confusion at Ji Lin's words, but her big tail was wagging quite happily. Meanwhile, Shinobu Kocho, standing behind Ji Lin, looked at the little girl in the large insect net in Ji Lin's hand and wore an embarrassed expression.

Although Shinobu had seen Yuhaka's photos before, seeing him in person now, she felt that Himeko's husband was much simpler than she had imagined...

Soon, guided by Yuhaka, Ji Lin and Shinobu arrived at Bronya and the others who were having a picnic. When Bronya saw Ji Lin coming, she wanted to wave and say hello, but she was stunned when she saw Yuhaka caught by Ji Lin with a large insect net. Even Sirin, who was standing next to her, almost spat out the food in her mouth.

After all, it was really funny to see Yuhaka caught in the insect net.

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

After dismounting, Ji Lin pulled Yuhaka out of the insect net and then used a towel to wipe Yuhaka's oily little hands and soft little face, cleaning off the oil stains.

Watching Himeko and Yuhaka interact, Shinobu saw it as an older sister taking care of her younger sister. To be honest, Shinobu recalled some memories from the past, memories of her older sister and herself.

Just as Ji Lin was wiping Yuhaka's face, Bronya, who was standing nearby, looked at Ji Lin curiously and said:

"Ji Lin's mother, have you still not dealt with that target on your side? Is the target particularly troublesome?"

In response to Bronya's question, Ji Lin replied:

"Hmm... Rather than saying it's difficult, it's more accurate to say that the other party is too good at playing hide-and-seek."

"?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Bronya also showed a puzzled expression. After all, Bronya did not expect that Ji Lin's target was such a coward.

Moreover, Ji Lin was unable to catch that target, which seemed to be quite adept at playing hide-and-seek.

Ji Lin looked at Yuhaka and Xilin, whose faces he was wiping, and said:

"If it's Master Yu-Yu and Sirin, they should be able to find Muzan Kibutsuji."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Shinobu Kocho, who was sitting to the side, was also very puzzled when she looked at Yuhaka and Sirin in Ji Lin's hands. Although Yuhaka had inhuman horns and a tail, Shinobu Kocho did not see anything powerful about Sirin. However, Shinobu Kocho remembered that Ji Lin seemed to have borrowed a strange gem from this girl with long purple hair last time.

Shinobu Kocho knew very well that it was that gem that healed Lord Ubuyashiki and Gyomei Himejima.

Could it be that the girl named Sirin has the ability to find Muzan Kibutsuji?

Thinking of all this, Shinobu Kocho suddenly became a little excited. Nakime, one of the Twelve Demon Moons under Muzan Kibutsuji, possessed Blood Demon Arts related to space, which made it impossible for the Demon Slayer Corps to launch a decapitation operation against Muzan Kibutsuji.

The subsequent conversation between Ji Lin and Sirin also proved that Sirin had the ability to find the Infinity Castle where Muzan Kibutsuji was located.

However, this is on the premise that Sirin was using the Imaginary Number ability to search when Nakime activated her ability.

Chapter 500 [500th Chapter Commemoration!]

"How is it, Sirin? Have you noticed anything?"

Sitting on the picnic blanket, Ji Lin looked at Xi Lin, who had her eyes closed, and asked her this question. Soon, Xi Lin opened her eyes, looked at Ji Lin, and said:

"No, I didn't sense any spatial abilities at work. It seems that the demon called Nakime didn't use any... I think it's called Blood Demon Art?"

Ji Lin wasn't disappointed that Sirin hadn't found Nakime. After all, Ji Lin also felt that the target wouldn't be found so easily. However, Ji Lin didn't think it mattered much, because demons need to eat people. Ji Lin didn't believe that Muzan Kibutsuji could resist the urge to eat people. As long as Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to eat people, Nakime would definitely activate her Blood Demon Art. If Sirin sensed it, they could directly parachute to the Infinity Castle. At that time, Muzan Kibutsuji wouldn't be like a naked loli who could be manipulated by them.

Shinobu, who was standing to the side, was slightly disappointed to see that Sirin hadn't gone looking for a fight. However, Shinobu felt that now was not the time, since most of the Demon Slayer Corps' equipment and items were not yet ready, especially the brand-new Nichirin Blade, which was the most important thing.

Furthermore, the Butterfly Mansion is cultivating various kinds of potions in preparation for the future battle against Muzan Kibutsuji.

After eating the picnic prepared by Yuhaka, Shinobu and Himeko led Yuhaka and the others to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. On the way, Shinobu and the others encountered some demons and ghouls. Although they didn't know why they were acting together, the demons and ghouls were almost powerless against Yuhaka and the others and were easily defeated.

Shinobu was particularly shocked by the attack methods of Yuhaka, Bronya, and Sirin. Bronya and Sirin's attack methods were beyond Shinobu's imagination. Can you imagine cannons that can fire beams and spears and ribbons flying out of strange holes?

Shinobu Kocho had never seen anything like it before, especially a weapon that could instantly turn demons and ghouls into dust.

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

When Shinobu and the others returned to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, everyone was quite surprised to see Yuhka and the others. Apart from Bronya and Sirin, whom they had seen on the tablet before, Yuhka was probably the first person they had ever seen with dragon horns and a big tail.

Although demons do have horns, most of their horns are in the front, and some demons even have only one horn. However, the pillars are used to seeing demons in all sorts of strange shapes.

After introducing themselves, Shinobu, along with Yuhaka and the others, returned to the Butterfly House. Once back at the Butterfly House, Shinobu looked at Bronya and the others and said:

"How's the environment at the Butterfly House?"

Regarding Shinobu's question, Bronya, who was standing nearby, nodded and said:

"It's very nice, a very Japanese-style garden. It's hard to tell that this is a hospital."

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Shinobu Kocho's head popped up with three small question marks. What was so special about a hospital?

Shinobu then led Bronya and the others to the room where Ji Lin was staying and told them to stay there. Bronya and the others had no objection to Shinobu's actions.

Inside the Butterfly House, Ji Lin looked at Bronya and the others standing nearby and asked curiously:

"Bronya, Sirin, did you manage to settle things in your world so quickly?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, Bronya and the others, who were standing nearby, also showed embarrassed expressions and said:

"Uh... although the mission was completed quickly, it's more like the target delivered themselves to our doorstep..."

"???"

Upon hearing Bronya and the others' answer, Ji Lin was filled with a series of question marks. Then, after hearing them say that the target had walked right into their trap, Ji Lin couldn't help but feel ashamed. Why was it that he had to search everywhere for Muzan Kibutsuji's whereabouts just to fight him, and yet the other party still managed to escape, while Bronya and the others could just wait for their target to walk into the trap on his own? What kind of nonsense was that?!

The fact that Yuhaka's side was more normal brought Ji Lin some peace of mind.

Xilin looked at Ji Lin curiously and asked how things were going. Ji Lin replied to Yuhaka and the others:

"Well, there's no problem in front of me. The target is so scared that he's stuck in his den and doesn't dare to move. But because I can't find him in that place, I can't do anything about him."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Xi Lin stroked her chin and said:

"I see. No wonder you were so slow and didn't complete the mission, Senior Sister Ji Lin. Was that target very strong?"

Hearing Sirin's words, Ji Lin scratched his cheek, looking a little embarrassed. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Although Ji Lin was strong enough to kill Muzan Kibutsuji when they ambushed him, he didn't use his full strength because there were more people in Asakusa. Otherwise, Muzan Kibutsuji would have been killed by Ji Lin in an instant.

Even so, Ji Lin underestimated Kibutsuji Muzan's integrity. He had no intention of fighting Ji Lin and simply tucked his tail between his legs and ran away.

Bronya and Sirin looked enlightened after hearing Ji Lin's explanation. Indeed, it was quite normal for Ji Lin to make a mistake in this situation.

Celine crossed her arms, puffed out her chest which barely rose and fell, and said with her little nose sticking out:

"Well, it's normal for you to make a mistake, Senior Sister Ji Lin, after all, the enemy is the kind of guy who has no morals whatsoever."

Ji Lin also sighed and said:

"Although I knew Muzan Kibutsuji was such a coward, I didn't expect him to escape so completely. And this is the first time I've ever seen someone split themselves in two to dodge an attack..."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Bronya and Sirin both wore bewildered expressions, clearly confused by Muzan Kibutsuji's method of dodging by splitting himself in two.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka yawned with his eyes half-closed, then curled up on the ground and went to sleep.

Chapter 501 [Accelerating the Demon Slayer Plot]

When Yuhka and the others were living at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, they weren't just freeloaders living in the Butterfly Mansion.

Yuhaka was helping out in the kitchen. At first, the cook in charge of the kitchen at the Butterfly House was a little skeptical when she saw Yuhaka. But soon she saw Yuhaka's amazing cooking skills. She could do the work of two or three people all by herself, and she did not reduce the quality of the dishes. On the contrary, she improved them.

Most importantly, Yuhaka also brought a lot of ingredients. Although Jilin can bring a lot of materials and herbs, Jilin did not bring any ingredients.

So the Demon Slayer Corps got to taste the flavors of dishes made with ingredients from another world.
