Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

And so, the Demon Slayer Corps, the organization that hunts demons, appeared before everyone's eyes.

The level of support for the Demon Slayer Corps has increased to an unprecedented level.

It wasn't that no one suspected the evil spirit's intrusion was suspicious, but only slightly. Most people realized how terrifying ghosts were.

…………

then

Rarely, the Demon Slayer Corps began to receive unprecedented support from the government, and was officially established as an official organization.

Furthermore, upon hearing of the devastating blow suffered by the Demon Slayer Corps, the official authorities are willing to cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps and provide them with more personnel, such as combat personnel, researchers, and logistical support.

The Demon Slayer Corps, which had been severely damaged by Muzan Kibutsuji, is recovering and rebuilding at an even faster pace than before, with its strength increasing almost every second.

After Chapter 241, I'll leave everything to you.

As night fell, Nezuko's heart was filled with trepidation.

In the past, Nezuko would often bother her husband at night, and she would even cook red bean porridge for him almost every night.

But tonight, going to Mr.'s place might be completely different, and it might take their relationship... to the next level. Nezuko felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness, a longing for the future and a lot of inexplicable feelings.

Because they have never experienced these things before, they are facing what may be the most important moment of their lives.

The girl's mind was in turmoil at that moment.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I carried the cooked red bean porridge on the road. The closer I got to the room, the more nervous I became. I felt that the small house was like a ferocious beast, and I was walking on the path through its mouth, becoming sweet food to be fed to it.

Despite having this feeling, I felt no fear; in fact, I was somewhat willing.

"Da da..."

Approaching the door, the girl nervously knocked.

"Come in, the door isn't locked."

The familiar, gentle voice made Nezuko's heart race.

Nezuko took a deep breath, her full chest heaving, and pushed open the door, where she saw her husband sitting at the table.

At this moment, Su Mu was looking at a piece of intelligence in his hand, a letter from 'Ubuyashiki' delivered by Kasugai.

The letter was written in very delicate handwriting, clearly the work of a woman.

The content is about an attack by evil spirits.

In fact, these days, evil spirits have been rampant, and there have been incidents of evil spirit attacks in various places, but this time the evil spirit attack is not ordinary.

Because this attack occurred in the royal palace.

Nowadays, the royal family's power has long been hollowed out, but in terms of status, they are still the highest, at least on the surface. However, recently, they have been attacked by evil spirits.

This is the first time in so many years.

The impact it has had is enormous.

Those in higher positions are aware of ghosts, but they have never been as active as imagined. Even when evil ghost attacks occur, they mostly happen in remote areas. Even if there are man-eating ghosts in cities, they are well hidden and do not cause much of an impact.

Furthermore, with the Demon Slayer Corps supported by 'Ubuyashiki' doing demon hunting, I felt that it was enough to leave it to the Demon Slayer Corps to handle.

Furthermore, the higher-ups did not want to expose these man-eating ghosts, as this would cause public panic and lead to things beyond their control.

But this attack by the evil spirit shattered the illusions of many people. In particular, the horrific scene made more high-ranking officials understand what kind of creature a ghost really is and what makes it so terrifying.

The letter briefly recounted the demon attack, which, despite the timely arrival of the Demon Slayer Corps, resulted in extremely tragic casualties and had a significant impact.

But the fact that he received such information about a demon attack is quite intriguing, especially since he had made such a suggestion to 'Ubuyashiki' not long ago.

Now, this place, which was almost never haunted, is suddenly haunted.

Therefore, the appearance of ghosts in the palace area is quite intriguing.

Clearly, the message from 'Ubuyashiki' wasn't telling Su Mu about the demon attack, but rather that 'Ubuyashiki' had done as he had suggested.

However, such matters cannot be brought to light and cannot be explicitly stated in a letter.

“I never expected Ubuyashiki to do this.”

Su Mu placed the letter in front of the candle and lit it, watching it burn slowly. After all, under certain circumstances, this could be considered evil, and it basically deviated from the original intention of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Having witnessed the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen risk their lives to protect humanity, Su Mu felt that he would never do such a thing.

But upon closer reflection, I realized I had been overthinking it. In order to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon Slayer Corps was willing to sacrifice almost anything, not just the lives of swordsmen, but even their lord, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, was willing to sacrifice himself.

So, sacrificing the lives of some ordinary people is also acceptable.

"gentlemen……"

A soft voice sounded in his ear. Su Mu looked up and saw Nezuko had appeared beside him at some point, placing a bowl of red bean porridge on the table and looking at him strangely as he lit the letter.

Nezuko is clearly dressed up today.

Her long hair was loosely draped down her back, only tied at the ends with a plain-colored hairband, and a few strands fell naturally beside her ears, making her fair face even more delicate.

The girl wore a light cherry blossom-colored yukata with delicate cherry blossom patterns printed on the fabric. The cuffs and collar were embroidered with exquisite vines in silver thread, and the belt was tied tighter than usual, outlining the girl's slender waist.

Her chest rose and fell slightly with her tense breathing, and her collar trembled gently with each breath, revealing a section of her fair collarbone.

When Nezuko saw his gaze, her cheeks flushed red, burning from the tips of her ears all the way to the base of her neck.

The flickering candlelight fell on the girl's skin, giving it a delicate, pinkish texture. The girl's face was not only beautiful but also naturally cute, and her slightly chubby cheeks added to her charm.

"Nezuko, you look beautiful today."

Su Mu admired her, feeling a surge of excitement, but sensing Nezuko's nervousness, he managed to suppress it.

Nezuko's face grew increasingly rosy.

"Sit here."

Su Mu pointed to the chair next to him.

Nezuko obediently sat down on the chair next to her.

Actually, people here usually kneel, but Su Mu has different habits and always prefers to sit in chairs or something similar, which Nezuko is aware of.

Seeing Nezuko sit down, Su Mu picked up the bowl of red bean porridge and started eating.

Nezuko was very nervous, her heart was pounding, and she kept thinking that Mr. would pounce on her in the next second.

Before coming here, Nezuko had probably consulted her mother and already knew a lot.

The thought of what might happen makes my heart clench, and this manifests physically as my skin tensing up all over, making me feel like a drawn string.

However, what was expected did not happen. The gentleman was slowly drinking his porridge, seemingly... not thinking much about it.

But... it was clearly the master who told her to come over at night.

She was already prepared...

So, at this moment, a sense of loss inexplicably arose in my heart.

"How is the situation at Sagiri Mountain while I was away these past few days?"

Su Mu asked questions while drinking his porridge.

"Everything is fine. Everyone is working hard to train. Many injured people have come and been taken in and treated..."

Nezuko suppressed her slight disappointment and spoke softly.

How long did the porridge take to cook today?

Two hours.

"Was it made by Nezuko?"

"Ah."

"You've really worked hard."

"It's not hard work, as long as you like it."

The night breeze blew in through the window, bringing a slightly cool breeze, and Su Mu and Nezuko chatted casually.

At first, Nezuko was a little reserved, but gradually, the tension eased as the atmosphere relaxed.

Before anyone knew it, Su Mu came to the girl's side. The two were very close, and they unconsciously touched each other.

The touch of skin made the girl's heart skip a beat again, and she couldn't help but look up. The man was talking and didn't look at her. Nezuko could only see his profile.

Suddenly I felt very safe.

"Nezuko, you can stay here tonight."

Su Mu suddenly spoke.

The sudden words made Nezuko's eyes widen instantly. Although she had come here at night and was prepared, hearing these words still made her breathing rapid and her heart almost beat uncontrollably.

A surge of shyness welled up inside her, causing the girl's face to flush almost completely from her brow to her heels.

How could she possibly answer that?

How could she, as a girl, answer such a question?

"I'm going to take a shower."

Seeing Nezuko with her head down and her little hands clenched tightly, Su Mu said something gently, then picked up a towel and walked outside.

Soon, Nezuko was the only one left in the room.

Although the person had left, the girl felt both ashamed and anxious. Seeing that the window was still open, she immediately ran over and closed it, her face flushed.

At that moment, Nezuko felt her legs were sore and weak, and it took her a lot of effort to get to Su Mu's bed.

Nezuko was no stranger to this bed, and she would come over to clean it almost every morning. In fact, she had been learning the duties of a wife all along. Ever since the second time Sumai came to the Kamado house and misunderstood that her husband had taken a liking to her, Nezuko had been trying hard to convince herself that she should become his future wife.

But at first, I was unwilling and afraid.

After all, it was a despicable ghost.

But after getting to know it for a while, I realized that this ghost wasn't as scary as I had imagined; in fact, it was quite nice.

At this point, she is less resistant to becoming his wife.

As we spent more time together, I found myself becoming somewhat willing.
