Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

I really wish I could spend every night with Sumu, just like Nezuko.

…………

"Da da..."

Su Mu knocked gently on the door, and the woman in the kimono opened it. Upon seeing Su Mu, she placed her small hand on her abdomen and bowed slightly.

As Nezuko's mother, Kamado Hime is always very gentle and pays great attention to etiquette.

He had actually told her it wasn't necessary, but Kamado Aoi always verbally agreed, yet she did it every time. Perhaps gentleness and a strong sense of etiquette were ingrained in this woman's very being.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to raise such an outstanding daughter as Nezuko.

Su Mu smiled gently and handed Kanao to Kamado Aoi.

Kanao has been very close to Kamado Aoi lately, and she spends almost every night with her when she rests.

"Sir, you should also get some rest."

Kamado Aoi pulled Kanao into the house, and as she closed the door, she said softly.

"it is good."

Su Mu nodded.

…………

The full moon rose into the night sky at some unknown time, casting its soft moonlight.

The moonlight fell on the snow-covered ground, as if it were covered with a layer of silvery radiance.

Su Mu walked slowly along the cleaned path in the yard toward his place. Nezuko had told him earlier that night, while he and Nezuko were busy in the kitchen, that Makomo would stay there.

It subtly implies that one should take the initiative.

However, after dinner, Nezuko pulled Makomo away again, and no one knows what the two of them were doing. Nezuko and Makomo have not shown up since.

Su Mu had a vague premonition, and his heart began to race.

As Su Mu stepped out of the courtyard, he heard a shout coming from outside. Looking over, he saw Tanjiro practicing swordsmanship with his younger brother Takeo.

Even though the source of all demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, has been killed and demon slayers have gradually faded from the stage of history, Tanjiro still maintains a certain level of training.

Su Mu glanced at it and continued walking forward.

Because he broke off his relationship with Nezuko, the two of them often had intimate moments at night and he didn't like to disturb them. Therefore, Su Mu's room was built separately and was some distance away from the Kamado family's house.

A small, detached courtyard.

He walked in quietly.

The snow that had fallen in the courtyard had been cleared away, and the lights in the house were on. The flickering light shone through the windows and into the courtyard, where a figure could be vaguely seen sitting upright.

It's not Nezuko's figure.

His breathing quickened slightly, Su Mu took a breath, and walked to the door.

When he stood at the door, he could clearly feel that the person inside was breathing rapidly, something he could hear very clearly, given his keen hearing.

The girl in the room looks very nervous.

Su Mu's heart was actually racing a little at this moment, but it was alright.

After calming down a bit, Su Mu gently pushed open the door.

As the door opened, it seemed to bring in the cold wind from outside, causing the girl sitting upright in the chair to tremble noticeably.

Su Mu turned around and gently closed the door.

After closing the door, Su Mu turned around and looked at the girl sitting upright in the chair in the room.

Her light blue robe, like frost formed from morning mist, thinly draped over her figure.

The waistband was a deeper shade of autumn water, narrowly bound, yet loosening in the middle to reveal a crescent-shaped arc.

Her long, dark blue hair was loosely tied up with a plain wooden hairpin, with a few stray strands clinging to her ears, adding a touch of unconventional softness.

When she lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow under her eyes.

It is just like the green plum next door, the mako.

At this moment, besides himself, only Makomo and another person were in the room.

Late night

Lonely man and woman

Sharing a room...

I don't know what Nezuko said to Makomo that made her come over alone.

Su Mu walked over slowly, and could clearly feel the girl's body tremble slightly as he approached.

probably

Makomo also knew that tonight might change her life.

Chapter 305 Su Mu and Makomo Break Through Their Relationship

Night falls

The winter night was very quiet.

In such cold weather, most people would already be snuggled into bed and fast asleep.

But Kanao couldn't sleep. She stared blankly at the ceiling with her beautiful pinkish-purple eyes wide open.

Kamado Aoi, who was standing nearby, saw everything and probably knew that Kanao was troubled.

Kamado Aoi had long regarded Kanao as her daughter, and knowing about the girl's childhood experiences, she poured even more love and care into Kanao.

Kanao, having never experienced maternal love, was closest to Kamado Aoi, besides her uncle.

What are you thinking about?

Kamado Aoi reached out and gently stroked Kanao's soft hair: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'm thinking, how can two people stay together forever? Ideally, they should be together all the time."

Kanao spoke softly, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered. As she grew older, Kanao realized that there always seemed to be some distance between her and her uncle.

This feeling isn't very pleasant.

I still want to go back to the very beginning, when I could always be by my uncle's side.

"Two people, together forever."

Kawado Kuiji whispered, then shook her head: "Where in the world is there such a good thing?"

"No?"

Kanao turned around and looked at Kamado Aoi.

"Maybe."

Kamado Aoi smiled warmly: "But I haven't seen it. I think that no matter how close two people are, there will always be a day when they are separated. They can't be together forever. Especially since people's lifespans vary, some will go first and some will go later. They will always be separated..."

Hearing this, Kanao was somewhat disappointed.

She longed to be with her uncle forever, but her uncle was a ghost with an infinite lifespan, while she was a human who would eventually reach the end of her life, grow old, and die.

Kanao wasn't so afraid of death, but she was afraid of not being able to stay with her uncle forever.

"I want to know, what kind of relationship is the closest between two people?"

Kanao opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Kamado Aoi.

What kind of relationship is the closest?

Kamado Aoi repeated the sentence softly, then thought for a moment before whispering, "If they're both boys, they're probably brothers who would die for each other, right? If it's one boy and one girl, they're probably husband and wife. If it's two girls..."

Kanao listened attentively, then asked a question.

"Then what exactly is a husband and wife?"

"Husband and wife..."

Kamado Aoi didn't know how to answer. She had been married before, but like most people, her marriage was arranged by an introduction, her parents met, and then they got together.

To be honest, her marriage was quite uneventful, without many ups and downs.

"A couple is probably just two people living the same kind of life."

Kamado Aoi replied softly, "It's like a pair of shoes; they have to be a pair. If one is missing, it's hard to walk; if one is too many, you'll trip over it."

"So what do you think a married couple should be like?"

Kamado Aoi looked at Kanao and thought for a while: "It should feel like a person's two hands."

"Two hands?"

Kanao stretched out her two hands from under the covers, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, that's how it should be between husband and wife. It's like your left hand touching your right hand. You don't feel anything at first, but when your left hand bleeds, your right hand will definitely help stop the bleeding. When your left hand is tired from carrying things, your right hand will definitely help to support it."

Hearing Kamado Aoi say this, Kanao vaguely understood, yet remained somewhat puzzled.

"Don't think too much, go to sleep."

Kamado Aoi looked at Kanao, who had her brows furrowed.

"I can't sleep, I want to go for a walk."

Kanao shook her head.

"It's very cold outside now."

"It's okay, I'm in good health."

"Sigh, this..."

Kamado Aoi wasn't really keen on Kanao going out so late, but since Kanao wanted to go for a walk and clear her head, she couldn't very well stop her.

Kamado Aoi probably understood why Kanao suddenly became emotional, since Makomo's arrival today might have triggered some of Kanao's emotions.

"You should wear more clothes so you don't get cold."
