Nen users starting from Highschool of the Dead

Chapter 189 The "Squeeze Dry" Plan Continues to Add People

Greed Island.

Tamayo finished her questioning of Makomo.

Actually, it shouldn't be called platitudes, because Makomo had no intention of hiding anything from her, and she answered almost every question Makomo asked.

Therefore, Tamayo easily extracted the following important information from Makomo's words.

First of all, the first thing is that the place he is in now is no longer the original world that Su Yan called the Demon Slayer world.

As far as the eye could see, everything before him belonged to Su Yan, a small world called Greed Island.

Secondly, she was indeed killed by Muzan, and her current state is the same as Makomo's.

According to Ms. Makomo, they could only condense special physical bodies that could be seen by people because of the power of this world when they were on Greed Island.

If they leave Greed Island, they will need the materialization-linked Nen power provided by Nen users like Su Yan to maintain the same state they had on Greed Island.

Moreover, once she gets too far away from Su Yan and her energy to maintain her physical condition is depleted, she will be like she was when she opened her eyes just now.

They inexplicably appeared on Greed Island.

This is something that only happens to the dead like her and Makomo.

Finally, there is the method to leave Greed Island and return to the original world.

On Greed Island, there is a portal that connects to other worlds, known as the Gate of Transcendence.

Once you pass through that portal, you can travel to other worlds. Currently, in addition to connecting to their former world, Greed Island is also connected to another world that is said to be the world of Shizuka Marikawa and her friends.

However, on Greed Island, only Su Yan and his contractors have the ability and qualification to open the portal.

Others won't work.

However, for Tamayo, it made no difference whether she was on Greed Island or in the Demon Slayer world.

Because her only motivation to live was to seek revenge against Muzan, and as long as she could achieve this goal, even life and death didn't matter to her.

Needless to say, the others are even more obvious.

The only thing Tamayo couldn't understand was...

Why doesn't my soul go to heaven or hell after I die?

Instead, it was absorbed into Su Yan's Greed Island.

"Could it be?"

A guess suddenly arose in Tamayo's mind.

More than a month ago, on the night she first met Su Yan.

After witnessing Su Yan easily defeat the Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, she made a deal with him.

At the time, she was focused on the possibility of killing Muzan and taking revenge in the future.

They focused their attention on the terms of the transaction and didn't pay much attention to the parchment that contained those terms.

Looking back now.

After reaching an agreement with Su Yan, a ball of light flew out from his body and merged into the other's body.

Perhaps that was the seed that was planted at that time?

Tamayo shook her head.

He thought to himself that the opponent's power was a bit too domineering.

Because he breached the contract and failed to meet the terms of the deal, his soul was stolen from places like heaven and hell after his death.

She even had a strong intuition in her heart.

No matter how much one tries to kill oneself on Greed Island, there is no chance of being reborn in Heaven or Hell; one will only reappear on Greed Island just like before.

Essentially, she became a being bound to Greed Island, much like a bound spirit.

Of course, it's not without its advantages.

At least once Su Yan returns to Greed Island, she can ask him the questions she cares about most.

Did Muzan actually die?

She felt a little awkward, wondering how she should face Su Yan when he returned to Greed Island.

Originally, she had hoped to make amends to him by serving him as a slave in her next life, and thus chose to perish together with Muzan.

The result was good.

No need for a next life.

She'd be willing to be Su Yan's slave right now.

Just as Tamayo was pondering what to do next.

A loud rumbling sound came from afar.

Tamayo looked up in the direction of the sound.

Surprisingly, a giant Edo-style wooden building rose from the ground on the distant plain.

"What is this?"

Tamayo was startled by the sudden appearance of the building and quickly turned to look at Makomo, wanting to ask her a question:

66

Makoto-chan————”

That's when I realized it.

Makomo's eyes were slightly closed, her breathing was long and even, and her head would occasionally nod slightly forward.

He looked like he might fall forward at any moment.

Unbeknownst to her, Makomo had already fallen asleep.

"Huff~ Huff~"

As the distant buildings gradually took shape, all that reached Tamayo's ears was the long, drawn-out breathing of Makomo as she slept.

Seeing Makomo's angelic, delicate sleeping face as she lay there, I was struck by her beauty.

For a moment, Tamayo felt a pang of reluctance to wake the other person.

Makomo has been on Greed Island for much longer than her, so perhaps such things are already commonplace for this little angel?

After all, even a small world like Greed Island exists; this is just another building that has suddenly appeared.

What's so strange about that?

With that thought in mind, Tamayo reached out and hugged Makomo.

He let her lean against his body, then slowly sat down while holding Makomo's body, leaning his back against the large rock that Makomo had used as a bed to sleep on.

Try to find a suitable angle so that you can fall asleep peacefully.

Tamayo gently stroked Makomo's short black hair.

This moment.

She, who should have lost all meaning after avenging herself on Muzan, looked at the angelic girl in front of her and smiled gently.

The thought that perhaps this wasn't so bad couldn't be helped to rise in my mind.

On the other side, Infinite City.

Just as Tamayo saw the building that rose from the ground on Greed Island.

Su Yan also sensed it.

Suddenly, the Infinite City beneath their feet shook violently.

That's right, the building that rose up on Greed Island was the Blood Demon Art he obtained after making a deal with Nakime.

He had previously worried that after obtaining this Blood Demon Art, Infinite City would suffer due to its own reasons.

This limits it to the Demon Slayer world.

This prevents the Blood Demon Art from being used normally in other worlds.

Unexpectedly, he obtained the Blood Demon Art that controlled the Infinite City in this way.

He actually embedded the entire Infinite City into his Island of Greed.

In this way, no matter which world he travels to in the future, he can rely on the existence of Greed Island to continue using his current resources normally—

The Infinite City of Hands.

However...

Although the Infinite City became a building within Greed Island.

However, it is different from normal buildings.

Its architecture is more like that of a prison.

Apart from the portals on the ground or walls used for entry and exit when controlling the Infinite City, the Infinite City itself does not have any other doors or windows.

Or rather, it is in a completely closed state.

For ordinary people, it is simply impossible to live in it as a normal building.

Or rather, no one wants to live in a house where not a single ray of light can get in from the outside.

This is easy to understand.

After all, the Infinity Castle was originally built for demons like Muzan who couldn't stand the light of day.

same.

Although in the future Su Yan could use the Infinite City as a prison to lock others inside.

However, strictly speaking, the Infinite City is attached to Greed Island, so people inside cannot enter Greed Island through the Infinite City.

Greed Island's xenophobia remains unchanged.

Su Yan turned his head and glanced at Nakime, who had become somewhat timid and cowering in the corner like a weak woman who had been bullied, after he had taken the vampire's power.

The current situation is more of a deception to mislead him.

Nakime is no pushover.

When Nakime was still human, she was a biwa player who made a living by performing.

There's a reason why he was captured by Muzan and turned into a demon.

Just like Kanao Tsuyuri was abused by her parents from a young age and eventually sold, and Kotoha, the mother of Inosuke Hashibira who was killed by Doma, ran away from home after being abused by her husband and almost couldn't survive.

Nakime also has a gambling and abusive husband.

However, Nakime's resistance was more intense than that of the others.

After her husband pawned her biwa-playing outfit as gambling money, Narumi, unable to bear it any longer, killed him with a hammer.

However, after killing her husband, Nakime did not live a happy life like an ordinary person.

Instead, he went from being a pitiful person to a hateful one.

After killing her husband, she became completely consumed by the urge to kill, and she would kill someone before each performance of the pipa for her guests.

The reason why Muzan turned him into a demon.

It was because she had her eye on Muzan before one of her performances and made him her target for murder.

Instead of being killed by Muzan, he was instead turned into a demon by Muzan.

"Sir, um—"

At this moment, Nakime's hair had once again covered her eyes, adding to her delicate and fragile appearance.

Nakime looked up at Su Yan and asked, "Can I leave now?"

"I will let you leave, but not now. Until then, you'll stay here."

Su Yan responded calmly.

Because he knew Nakime's past and what kind of person she was.

Therefore, it's impossible to let the other party go so easily.

We'll have to wait until Shizuka Marikawa can replicate a recovery potion to turn the other person back into a human, or at least make use of what's left.

After adding zombies to the demons' diet, they are sent to the apocalyptic world along with other demons, where they increase their power by consuming zombies.

Like Yue, he could provide himself with a Blood Demon Technique that didn't appear in the original work.

However, in either case...

He couldn't possibly let the other party go so easily.

Otherwise, releasing a demon with a strong desire to kill would undoubtedly be an irresponsible act.

Even if Su Yan were to encounter Kai Yue again in the future, she would consider doing the same thing to him.

After saying that, Su Yan used his materialization ability to conjure a biwa (a type of lute) similar to Nakime's in his hand.

Clang!

Plucking the strings of the pipa.

Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of them.

Su Yan went directly back to the Butterfly House through this portal.

"grown ups----"

As Nakime looked at Su Yan's retreating figure and the wide-open doorway before her, she reached out her hand, trying to stop him from leaving.

However, they failed and could only watch the other person's back as they left Infinite City.

She originally thought that Su Yan's desire for her Blood Demon Art meant that he wanted to use her like Muzan.

I never expected that the other party could actually steal my Blood Demon Art.

She knelt in the most familiar spot in the Infinite City.

But in my heart, I no longer felt that sense of familiarity with the infinite city before me, as if it were an integral part of me.

This infinite city felt utterly unfamiliar to her.

This left her somewhat at a loss.

Even if Su Yan had killed her outright, it probably wouldn't have frightened her as much.

But now Su Yan has left me here alone, without revealing the outcome of his treatment.

This made her feel particularly uneasy.

She didn't choose to run away because it was impossible.

No one knew the structure of the Infinite City better than her, without the manipulation of the Blood Demon Art.

This infinite city has no exit at all.

Clang!

Shortly after Su Yan left, the sound of a pipa rang out again within the Infinite City.

"grown ups!"

A hint of joy appeared on Nakime's face.

He was about to step forward to greet Su Yan's arrival.

However, the person who appeared in front of her was not Su Yan, who had just taken away her Blood Demon Art.

Instead, they were giant glass jars.

The glass jars contained Muzan, Mammo (Lower Moon One), and Rui (Lower Moon Five).

And other lower-level demons and some evil spirits whose names I don't even know.

"Muzan-sama? As expected!"

Nakime suddenly realized.

From the moment she felt that the portal she controlled, which had opened the Infinite City, could not be closed.

She realized that something was wrong.

The invincible Muzan has even had his escape route cut off this time, and he is very likely to lose.

The appearance of Muzan and his group now undoubtedly proves that her guess was correct.

However, compared to Muzan and the others, at least I am still alive after losing the Blood Demon Surgery, and I was not locked in a glass jar.

They possess a certain degree of freedom.

Butterfly House.

After throwing Muzan and the others into the Infinity Castle.

Su Yan's arms were immediately grabbed by Yuriko Takagi and Saya Takagi, and he said helplessly, "Seriously, do you have to do this?"

"Of course."

-

Yuriko Takagi replied with a smile, "We agreed beforehand that we'd drain you dry after this was all over, so we can't let you get away."

Saya Takagi chimed in, "Exactly, exactly."

Although the pressure of the two women's softness on his arms wasn't uncomfortable, it was rather too comfortable, but it made it difficult for Su Yan to move.

So Su Yan spoke again, saying, "It's not that bad. I won't go back on my word, so could you please let me go?"

"Little Su Yan!"

At this moment, Shizuka Marikawa also learned about tonight's "draining" operation from her best friend, Rika Minami.

Jump directly behind him.

She placed all her weight on him.

Shizuka Marikawa's luscious red lips brushed against Su Yan's ear as she excitedly exclaimed, "Let's hurry back to Greed Island, GOGOGO!!"

Okay.

Now Su Yan's body was even more unable to move.

After dealing with Muzan, he originally wanted to go find Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

However, the current situation is clearly not suitable.

And who exactly is Kagaya Ubuyashiki?

None of them are as important as my own contractors.

Su Yan shrugged and said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's go back to Greed Island."

Then he looked at Kanae and Shinobu not far away and said, "Kanae, Shinobu, do you want to come with us?"

""

The current situation is that having too much debt is no longer a burden; it's a case of "the more debts, the better."

Apart from the six women of the Apocalypse who were present.

Also, there are Kanroji Mitsuri and Nezuko, who were sent to Greed Island by him before the battle began.

Even if we add more Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

And to be honest, Su Yan also wanted to test his limits.

After all, before crossing over into the Demon Slayer world.

Dokushima and her six friends have teamed up to challenge him quite a few times.

So far, his record is undefeated.

"Together with what?"

Kanae blinked, puzzled.

"ah!!!"

Shinobu Kocho, who was standing to the side, guessed what was going on, since she had just received an invitation from Yuriko Takashiro.

Even if you want to forget, you can't forget it so quickly.

Shinobu Kocho, her face slightly flushed, clung to Kanae Kocho's arm and said, "Sister, look at how badly the Butterfly Mansion is destroyed. I think we should stay and fix it."

"Eh?"

Kanae Kocho gently rested her index finger on her chin and replied with a curious expression, "But you're very curious about what Su Yan said."

"Aren't you curious? Besides, Shinobu hasn't even been to Greed Island yet, has she?"

"Not curious at all," Shinobu Kocho replied decisively.

"Then why don't you stay here yourself, Xiaoren?"

Kanae Kocho tentatively suggested, "Anyway, I can't do much."

In Kanae's view, the Butterfly Mansion is indeed a memory for her and her sister.

But now they have all been destroyed in this battle with the demons.

The Butterfly Mansion has fulfilled its historical mission.

Instead of rebuilding on this ruin, it would be better to create a one-to-one replica of the Butterfly House on Greed Island.

After all, they would eventually have to move to Greed Island and live with their husband, Su Yan.

Let's not waste any more time at the Butterfly Mansion.

Shinobu Kocho retorted loudly, "No way! In short, you have to stay with me tonight and you can't leave my side for even a moment."

Unless she's gone mad.

Otherwise, how could she let her older sister, Kanae Kocho, go out and have fun, leaving herself alone in the Butterfly Mansion?

If later on, through sensory sharing, I suddenly receive waves of sensations from my sister about doing *that* kind of thing.

Does she even want to live anymore?

Shinobu Kocho tried to calm herself down, turned around and decisively rejected Su Yan's invitation: "Mr. Scumbag, I don't care what you're going to do tonight, my sister and I are not going to be with you tonight."

"Really? Never mind then."

Since Shinobu Kocho was unwilling, Su Yan did not force her. He simply said to Shinobu, "In that case, please tell Kagaya Ubuyashiki that I have already dealt with Muzan."

"No new evil spirits will appear in this world in the future."

"So, the ore we agreed on before, to be used to forge the Nichirin Blade, should be sent over by him."

"As for the Butterfly Mansion—"

At this point, Su Yan paused and did not continue.

Shizuka Marikawa bears a great deal of responsibility for the destruction of the Butterfly Mansion.

Of all those present, the wooden dragon she summoned caused the most destruction.

Su Yan thought for a moment and continued, "From now on, Shinobu and Kanae will live with us on Greed Island."

What exactly is Greed Island?

Seeing that Su Yan and the others had mentioned the name Greed Island to her many times, Shinobu Kocho finally couldn't help but ask him the question.

"Greed Island, huh? Let your older sister Kanae tell you about it."

Su Yan did not answer directly.

Instead, she gestured for the other person to ask her older sister, Kanae Kocho.

After all, it's quite troublesome to explain.

Moreover, Shizuka Marikawa and the other contractors were already getting impatient.

"Alright, alright, let's head back to Greed Island now."

Su Yan comforted Shizuka Marikawa behind him, and then materialized the portal to Shinobu Kocho in front of him.

Under Shinobu Kocho's astonished gaze, he led Shizuka Marikawa and the others back to Greed Island.

at the same time.

Makomo, who was resting against Ms. Tamayo, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Little angel? What's wrong?"

Tamayo noticed Makomo's movements and immediately asked.

Makomo did not refute Tamayo's angelic address, and replied lightly, "Master brother is back."

""

She hadn't forgotten what Tamayo had told her while she was asleep—that she wanted to make amends to Su Yan.

So, Su Yan woke up immediately after returning to Greed Island.

Makomo took Tamayo's hand and said, "I'll take you to find Master."

"Oh, this!"

Tamayo then realized what was happening.

But to be honest.

Actually, she was already somewhat indifferent to that issue.

Since Su Yan has returned, it is without a doubt that he has won the battle against the evil spirits.

In other words, Muzan is most likely already dead.

Of course, the main problem was that she didn't know how to face Su Yan.

However, before she could explain to Mako.

Makomo then took her hand seriously and walked towards Su Yan.

Soon, the two arrived at the location of the portal.

Makomo sweetly called out to Su Yan, "Master, brother."

"Mikomo-chan? You've come at the right time. I'll include you tonight."

Yuriko Takagi first smiled and said something to Makomo, then looked at Ms. Tamayo, whom Makomo was holding hands with, and asked in confusion, "Who is she?"

"Miss Tamayo, thank goodness, you're alive!"

With a look of surprise, Shizuka Marikawa jumped down from behind Su Yan, quickly walked to Miss Tamayo, grabbed her hand, and said with delight.

"Miss Marikawa————"

Tamayo lowered her head, her face deeply moved.

I felt a little guilty, not expecting that I had only spent a little over a month with Shizuka Marikawa.

The other person actually cares about me so much.

After all, considering the more than four hundred years I've lived through, a month is hardly a long time.

What makes me feel even more guilty is my feelings for Su Yan.

Tamayo even hesitated to look Su Yan in the eye: "And, Lord Su Yan—"

However, before Su Yan could speak...

Then Shizuka Marikawa continued, "It's wonderful that Miss Tamayo is still alive. This way, I won't have to go through the trouble of researching recovery and longevity medicines for Su Yan anymore."

Tamayo: "

'

After hearing what Shizuka Marikawa said next.

In an instant, most of the guilt Tamayo felt towards Shizuka Marikawa disappeared.

Su Yan looked at Shizuka Marikawa with a face full of black lines.

This lazy woman—

There's really no hope for them.

Shizuka Marikawa showed no reaction, but instead felt that since Ms. Tamayo was able to appear on Greed Island, it meant that she was one of their own.

You don't need to be as polite to your own people as you are to outsiders.

So she took Tamayo's hand and suggested, "Tamayo, would you like to come along?"
