Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

"I'm too weak. I couldn't even withstand one of my brother's punches."

Shinazugawa Genya lowered his head.

"Even though you say that, Genya must be feeling really down inside, right?"

Su Mu shook his head: "You must really want to catch up with your brother to do this."

Shinazugawa Genya lowered his head, eager for his brother's approval. When he saw the haori his brother was wearing, Shinazugawa Genya knew that his brother had become a revered 'pillar'.

As for himself, if the gentleman hadn't discovered the difference in his physique, he probably wouldn't have even been able to embark on the path of ghost hunting.

"squeak"

The door opened, and a white-haired, scarred man with an arrogant air and a fierce aura, the 'Wind Pillar' Sanemi Shinazugawa, walked in.

Upon seeing his brother, Xuanmi almost struggled to sit up, but his injuries made him feel dizzy as soon as he moved. However, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to sit up straight, not wanting his brother to look down on him because of this.

"Are you okay?"

Sanemi's voice was somewhat hoarse, even impatient, but his eyes, fixed on Genya, betrayed him.

"fine."

Xuanmi looked at his brother and said.

"I'm alright. I'll go back after a few days of recuperating. As for hunting ghosts, don't even think about it."

She arranged her younger brother's future path almost without hesitation.

"No."

Xuanmi spoke almost immediately, and seeing his brother frowning and staring at him, he lowered his eyes slightly: "I want to... be with my brother, I also want to help my brother."

"what……"

Sanemi scoffed, about to utter the word 'trash,' but ultimately refrained from doing so. Instead, he said in a cold voice, "The greatest help you can give me is simply to stay at home and live as an ordinary person."

"I... although I am weak now, I can still hunt demons. In the future, I will become stronger. Even if I am still a burden to my brother now, I will definitely catch up with him in the future."

"Ghost hunting?"

Sanemi sneered at Genya: "With your frail appearance, you'd be more likely to be eaten by demons than hunt them."

“I have already hunted down a ghost. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the master.”

Xuanmi stubbornly raised his head, looking rather unconvinced.

Sanemi really didn't believe it.

He had just had a brief exchange with his younger brother, and he clearly felt his brother's strength. His brother couldn't even breathe properly, and given his brother's naturally weak physique, he simply couldn't believe that his brother had the ability to kill a demon.

"Yes, Genmi has already hunted down a demon on his own."

Su Mu said something from the side.

"Absolutely impossible."

Shinazugawa Sanemi shook his head, even feeling that Su Mu was helping his younger brother deceive him.

"It seems you don't know your own brother at all!"

Su Mu looked at this seemingly arrogant man. In the future, during the battle against Kokushibo, his younger brother Genmi died fighting alongside him. It wasn't until he saw his brother's mangled body after his death that this man gradually understood his brother's heart, but by then, it was obviously too late.

"who are you?"

Shinazugawa Sanemi fixed his gaze on Su Mu, looking him up and down with a rather impolite air.

“Su Mu”.

Su Mu revealed his name.

Sanemi Shinazugawa fell silent.

After all, Su Mu's name is already very famous in the Demon Slayer Corps. Not to mention his achievements in the swordsman test at Fujikasane Mountain, he is also the one who brought us the long-lost techniques of the Demon Slayer Corps, such as the "Sun Breathing," "Crimson Blade," "Scarlet Mark," and "Transparent World."

It can be said that because of this person, the Demon Slayer Corps' upper-level combat power has almost reached a new level.

At least now that he has mastered the 'Crimson Blade', he could easily kill Lower Moon Two, Ubume, if he were to face him again.

As for the 'spots', he is confident that he can activate them, but there is no ghost that can make him activate them yet. After all, the issue of the life force lost when activating the 'spots' cannot be resolved.

He didn't mind the quick death that would result from activating the 'spot,' he just wanted to kill more demons.

Knowing Su Mu's name, Shinazugawa Sanemi probably knew that the other party was unlikely to be lying.

Even so, Sanemi still questioned Genya: "I know the strength of demons. How could Genya be a match for a demon?"

"As the older brother, can't you trust your younger brother just this once?"

Su Mu sighed from the side.

Sanemi Shinazugawa instinctively wanted to say something like 'useless,' but feeling his younger brother's nervous gaze, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it.

"At the very least, Genmi's frail body is no match for demons."

Su Mu simply looked calmly at Shinazugawa Sanemi: "What if Genya could defeat the demons on his own? What then?"

On the bed, Shinazugawa Genya clenched his fists, looking at his brother with a tense expression.

"Even if he can deal with demons, I will never allow Genmi to embark on the path of demon hunting. If he dares to take this path, I will personally break his legs."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu looked at the 'wind pillar' that had revealed its fierce nature and chuckled softly.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm just laughing because you're not ruthless enough."

"what?"

"Breaking legs isn't enough."

Su Mu calmly looked at the 'wind pillar' with its clenched fists and bulging veins on its forehead: "I think you should just kill your brother directly, so he won't go down this path of ghost hunting."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Shinazugawa Genya: "Genya, do you think you would stop hunting demons if your brother broke your leg?"

"will not."

He answered almost without hesitation: "If my leg is broken, I still have my hands; if my hands are broken, I still have my teeth. As long as I'm not killed, I won't change my mind."

Sanemi Shinazugawa was stunned by his unwavering determination to hunt demons.

Chapter 204 Teeth and Wind, Making Up for Regret

Sensing his younger brother's determination to hunt demons, Shinazugawa Sanemi's mood plummeted.

Ever since killing his mother, who had fallen into demonhood, he had given up on living a normal life. The driving force that kept him alive was his endless hatred for demons.

If there's anything that could still be considered a dream, it's that my younger brother can marry the woman he loves, have children, and live a happy life.

He would do anything to protect Xuanmi's happiness.

But his younger brother is determined to follow the same path of demon hunting as him, a path steeped in blood, where he doesn't know when a demon might take his life.

Just thinking about this made Sanemi Shinazugawa unable to accept it. He couldn't accept his younger brother fighting alongside him, and he couldn't do what Kanae Kocho did—accept his sister's presence.

But now, faced with his younger brother's insistence on hunting demons, he has no way to stop him.

He had always felt that he was different from Kanae Kocho, but now he felt that he was no different from Kanae Kocho.

Faced with his younger brother who is willing to embark on the path of demon hunting and doesn't even care about his own life or death, what can he do to stop him?

If he were truly ruthless, he could break his brother's legs, but as his brother said, even if his legs were broken, he would still have his hands and teeth, and as long as his body could still move, he would continue to hunt demons.

Was he going to continue breaking his brother's hand and knocking out his teeth?

Just as Shinazugawa Sanemi was feeling anxious, Su Mu walked over.

Shinazugawa Sanemi almost instinctively narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

Su Mu didn't care about any of that. Instead, he patted Shimi on the shoulder and said, "Even now, don't you understand your younger brother?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"Since neither of you is willing to talk about it, then I will break the silence for you."

Su Mu sighed, "In the anime, the estrangement between the two brothers led to the final tragedy."

"Just as the 'Wind Pillar' did not want his younger brother Genya to be involved in the danger of demon hunting, your younger brother would never want his older brother to be involved in the danger of demon hunting."

"I am enough on my own."

Sanemi clenched his teeth.

"Have you considered your brother's feelings?"

Su Mu looked at Shinazugawa Sanemi: "Letting the younger brother watch his older brother fall into danger, while he himself acts like an ordinary person, as if he has forgotten everything, living an ordinary life, and having ordinary happiness..."

"Is this what Sanemi wanted?"

"You, Sanemi, will bear all the dangers and risks yourself. All you need to do is keep your younger brother in a safe and happy place forever."

Sanemi Shinazugawa didn't say anything, but that was indeed what he was thinking.

"But ask Genmi, is this the life Genmi himself wanted to live?"

As he spoke, Su Mu turned his gaze to Shinazugawa Genya.

Despite the pain in his body, Shinazugawa Genya stood up: "I want to stand by my brother's side. I don't want to always be protected by him..."

"Shut up."

Before Genya could finish speaking, Sanemi angrily interrupted him: "I don't need you to stand by my side. I just need you to live like an ordinary person. As for demon hunting, don't even think about it."

Shinazugawa Genya didn't say anything more, but stubbornly raised his head to look at his brother.

Sanemi glared at his younger brother with a mixture of anger and frustration, his face turning completely dark. But clearly, he had no way to deal with his stubborn brother. He knew his brother's personality well; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

"Your younger brother is no longer able to live the life of an ordinary person and have the happiness of an ordinary person as you hoped."

Su Mu said in a low voice, "Do you really think that everything that happened to your brother can be treated as if nothing ever happened?"

Su Mu sighed: "Just like Shinobu Kocho, her parents were eaten by demons right before her eyes. How could Shinobu Kocho forget these things?"

"How could I forget?"

A voice filled with intense hatred for demons came from behind; it was Shinobu Kocho, who had returned. The girl gritted her teeth and looked at Sanemi Shinazugawa:
