Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

"Make sure you eat well, Miss Mitsuri."

Nezuko smiled gently at that moment.

"Yes, Miss Mitsuri, don't worry about others. Actually, nobody really cares."

……

Su Mu smiled and said, "Actually, I think girls who eat a lot are quite cute. In my opinion, eating a lot is not a bad thing."

"How can a girl who eats so much be cute?"

Kanroji Mitsuri whispered that it was because she ate too much that her blind date rejected her, and even mocked her for only being with animals like pigs, bears, and cows.

Su Mu picked up a plate of food and placed it in front of him: "If Mi Li doesn't believe me, I can eat with Miss Mi Li. I'll eat as much as Miss Mi Li eats."

"I have a huge appetite..."

Kanroji Mitsuri lowered her head slightly, her small hands gently gripping her sleeves.

"I have quite an appetite."

Su Mu smiled and started eating the food.

Seeing that Su Mu had already started eating, and noticing that everyone was watching her and didn't seem to mind her big appetite, Kanroji Mitsuri blushed and also picked up her food and started eating.

The food entered her taste buds and filled her hungry stomach, making Kanroji Mitsuri, who was enduring hunger, feel very comfortable.

Kanroji Mitsuri ate another large plate of food, then carefully looked at everyone. Everyone was watching her, and they all seemed happy that she had eaten so much food, unlike the disgust she had felt with her blind date.

Turning her head, Kanroji Mitsuri looked at Su Mu. This tall and gentle gentleman was still eating so that she wouldn't mind his 'big appetite' flaw.

This touched Kanroji Mitsuri somewhat, as she thought that Su Mu was forcing himself to continue eating to avoid making her feel awkward. After all, most people don't eat much, and Su Mu had already eaten a lot.

Even Kanroji Mitsuri felt that the other person was putting on a brave face for her sake.

“Mr. Su Mu, you don’t need to eat so much. Eating too much food will make you feel uncomfortable.”

Kanroji Mitsuri wanted to stop Su Mu from continuing to eat.

"what……"

Su Mu chuckled and patted his stomach: "Miss Mi Li is underestimating me. Actually, I have a big appetite."

"Now, let's have a competition to see who can eat more. After all, it's bad to waste food."

As he spoke, Su Mu pointed to the food on the table. He had specially asked Zaomen Kuizhi to prepare a lot of food today, and there was still a lot left on the table.

At this moment, Kanroji Mitsuri noticed the food left on the table. This made Kanroji Mitsuri certain that Su Mu probably knew about her big appetite, which was why he specially made so much food, and also to avoid embarrassing her, and even to have a competition with her.

"Thank you."

Kanroji Mitsuri spoke softly.

"What are you talking about? Actually, I really like girls who eat a lot. I find them really cute."

Su Mu smiled.

Kanroji Mitsuri lowered her head shyly.

"Let the competition begin."

Su Mu picked up the food again and started eating.

Seeing Su Mu like this, Kanroji Mitsuri gradually relaxed and also picked up the food to eat.

The girl had a much larger appetite than expected. She ate for a long time before patting her slightly bulging belly with satisfaction. She had eaten the equivalent of more than a dozen people's worth of food.

Such a large appetite is truly astonishing, and it's no wonder that Mi Li's blind date rejected her and even mocked her. With such an appetite, most people probably couldn't even feed her.

"Oh... you can't eat anymore, Miss Mitsuri?"

Su Mu took another plate of food and looked at the stopped Ganroji Mitsuri with surprise in his voice.

Kanroji Mitsuri wanted to continue eating, but her stomach was really full and she couldn't eat any more.

"Looking back now, I realize I have a bigger appetite."

Su Mu smiled and continued eating the food on his plate.

Kanroji Mitsuri couldn't help but look up at Su Mu in shock. She had thought that Mr. Su Mu was deliberately forcing himself to continue eating so that she wouldn't feel too awkward by herself.

I just realized that the other person has a really big appetite.

"In the future, if anyone mocks Miss Mitsuri's big appetite, Mitsuri should think of me. My appetite is even bigger than Miss Mitsuri's."

Su Mu smiled, his eyes fixed on Kanroji Mitsuri.

As soon as Kanroji Mitsuri looked up, she met Su Mu's gaze. She felt that his eyes were sincere and bright, and that gaze, which was almost entirely devoid of any other meaning, was as precious as a treasure to Kanroji Mitsuri.

Involuntarily, the reason why he joined the Demon Slayer Corps came to mind.

Isn't it just about finding a guy who's willing to truly accept you? Do you want to find a better husband here who's stronger than you and can protect you?

The tall, gentle man before her was exactly the man she had imagined.

this moment

Kanroji Mitsuri felt her heart beating faster than ever before.

Chapter 251 Marriage Contract

For most swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, the reason they joined the Demon Slayer Corps was because their loved ones had been brutally killed by demons, or because their happiness had been destroyed by demons, and they joined the Demon Slayer Corps out of intense hatred for demons, either for revenge or to prevent such happiness from being destroyed again.

But Kanroji Mitsuri is different.

Kanroji Mitsuri has a very happy and wealthy family. Her family loves her very much. Even if she eats 170 sakura mochi for eight consecutive months, her loving mother will not stop her, and her family will not dislike her because she is naturally strong.

Even if Kanroji Mitsuri herself was worried about not being able to get married, her father would smile and tell her that she could just stay at home.

The only unpleasant experience was the annoyance of blind dates, where the other person complained about her large appetite and even said some harsh words.

In fact, after being rejected on this blind date, Kanroji Mitsuri realized that she should try to hide everything about herself. So, she dyed her hair black and suppressed her desire to eat, which made her dizzy from hunger. In front of outsiders, she pretended that she was very weak.

Because of these disguises, men soon proposed to her.

That time, Kanroji Mitsuri, who had disguised everything, met this man. He seemed to admire her, but at that moment, Kanroji Mitsuri felt uncomfortable all over, her heart even felt like it was about to stop beating, and her whole heart felt like it was tangled up.

Is she going to keep pretending forever?

At that moment, Kanroji Mitsuri felt that this version of herself was not the real her. Relying on pretense to gain others' approval, or even their disdain, was not genuine at all.

She is a girl with an amazing appetite and incredible strength. She tries hard to suppress her appetite and even pretends that she is not very strong. This is not the real her at all.

She didn't want to forever play an identity that wasn't hers.

What she wanted was to be accepted as she was, not to like the person she was pretending to be. By chance, she came into contact with the Demon Slayer Corps and wanted to find a better husband there who was stronger than her, who could protect her, and who wouldn't mind that she ate a lot or that she was strong.

The man in front of him, Mr. Su Mu, was tall, handsome, and stronger than him. He didn't seem to mind that Mr. Su Mu ate a lot. Although Mr. Su Mu hadn't seen Mr. Su Mu's strength yet, judging from his gentle nature, he probably wouldn't mind.

In Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes, the other person exudes the label of 'good husband' from head to toe.

This made Kanroji Mitsuri feel her heart beating very fast.

"You've eaten so much, have a glass of water."

Su Mu poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.

What felt like a casual, caring inquiry between friends was a source of warmth for Kanroji Mitsuri.

"Thank you."

Kanroji Mitsuri took the water glass, held it in her palm, lowered her head, and silently took a sip.

The warm water flowed down her throat, leaving a soothing sensation that brought a slight blush to Kanroji Mitsuri's face.

Kanroji Mitsuri felt... her heart flutter.

In fact, almost every day, Kanroji Mitsuri would feel a flutter in her heart. For example, she would feel a flutter when she saw the tall Himejima Gyomei interacting intimately with his kitten, and she would feel a flutter when she saw the beautiful butterfly Kanae.

She always feels her heart flutter and her heart races whenever she sees anything beautiful.

But the feeling of excitement I have now is completely different from before.

My heart seemed to be beating very fast at this moment, but it also seemed not so fast; a feeling of joy welled up throughout my heart.

Su Mu handed Kanroji Mitsuri a glass of warm water, then poured himself a glass of sake and drank it by himself. He knew why Kanroji Mitsuri joined the Demon Slayer Corps, but he didn't know that she would fall in love with him the first time she saw him.

Ultimately, Su Mu didn't really know much about Kanroji Mitsuri.

It seems that Kanroji Mitsuri is enthusiastic towards everyone and always maintains her passion, but in the heart of this young girl, she has her own purest pursuit of love. Just like other Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who have had loved ones harmed or their happiness destroyed by demons, Kanroji Mitsuri has none of these.

Mitsuri Kanroji joined the Demon Slayer Corps solely because of her own inner desire to find a husband who was stronger than her, could protect her, and wouldn't look down on her.

Just like love, it originates solely from the desires of the heart.

Therefore, Su Mu thought that the way Ganroji Mitsuri was behaving at this moment was probably due to her own characteristics. She would always be moved when she encountered something she liked, but she didn't know that some feelings of being moved were actually different.

While drinking and chatting for a while, Su Mu told everyone to go and rest, in preparation for the hunt for Upper Moon Two in a few days.

…………

“Miss Mitsuri, I’ll take you to the room prepared for you.”

Kamado Aoi came over and spoke gently to the girl.

"Ok."

Kanroji Mitsuri answered with a smile, but before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at Su Mu a few more times, feeling a sudden pang of reluctance.

Although they had little contact, it was rare to meet someone who matched her ideal husband so well. He was so attractive in every way that her heart was always racing and she was always very happy.

I really want to stay with them a little longer.

But that was obviously impossible, which made Kanroji Mitsuri feel very disappointed. However, she also had expectations in her heart, after all, there was still a long time to go and she would have to meet again in the future.

Deep down, I also longed to make a good impression in this operation and impress the other party.

…………

After letting everyone rest for a while, around the morning of the next day, Su Mu had everyone pack up, said goodbye to Kamado Aoi and the others, and then set off.

Giyu Tomioka thought he would be walking, but after descending from Mount Sagiri, he traveled by vehicle the whole way, either by horse-drawn carriage or by train.

This was something that Giyu Tomioka, who had always relied on his own feet to carry out missions, found very difficult to adapt to.

These feelings of unease reached their peak later on. Giyu Tomioka thought this was a life-or-death battle against Upper Moon Two and was very tense, but Su Mu seemed very relaxed, which made Giyu Tomioka doubt the mission several times.
