Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Soon, several swordsmen dressed in Demon Slayer Corps uniforms approached. One of them stepped forward first, bowing slightly: "Hello, sir, may I bother you for a moment?"

Su Mu stopped and quietly looked at the swordsman. His hand clenched slightly, then quickly relaxed, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face: "Is there something you need?"

"It's like this, we got separated from a companion. He said he came to this mountain to pay respects to the dead, but we haven't heard from him since. I don't know if you've seen him, sir. He wasn't very tall, probably up to your chest. He was wearing the same clothes as us, had thick eyebrows, and a mole on his lip..."

As the swordsman described his companion, he looked at Su Mu with some anticipation.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it."

Su Mu shook his head: "If I see it, I will tell you."

"Ugh!"

The swordsman sighed and bowed to Su Mu again: "I'm sorry to have bothered you."

"It's ok."

Su Mu looked at the swordsman with a gentle smile: "Don't you think there's anything different about me?"

"Forehead……"

The swordsman looked up, somewhat puzzled, at Su Mu.

"It's just a matter of appropriately mentioning what makes me different."

He smiled gently.

The swordsman found Su Mu's question strange, but since he had just asked him a question, he couldn't refuse. So he smiled and said, "Sir, you're very tall, taller than most people. You also look quite strong, with calluses on your palms. You must have practiced swordsmanship, right? Hmm, and you're very handsome too..."

Su Mu shook his head and continued to look at the swordsman gently: "That's not what I meant?"

"So, what difference are you trying to make, sir?"

The swordsman looked puzzled.

"Don't you think I'm a ghost?"

He stared at the demon-slaying swordsman with a smile.

"ghost?"

Almost instinctively, the swordsman's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura emanated from him, but he immediately laughed, looking at the demon bathed in sunlight, and at the shadow cast by the sun, and said:

"Sir, you're joking. Ghosts don't exist in this world. Or rather, have you ever seen a ghost? Could you tell us the details?"

"I've only heard people say that ghosts exist in this world."

Su Mu shook his head.

"That must be a joke; ghosts don't exist in this world."

The swordsman's hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of his sword: "Even if ghosts do exist in this world, they will be quickly eradicated. There will be people specifically protecting humans to kill all the ghosts."

The swordsman spoke with a firm tone.

"I think so too. How could there be ghosts in this world?"

Su Mu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost bent over.

The swordsman was baffled, and his companions were equally confused, not understanding what was wrong with him.

"We're still looking for companions, so we won't bother you any longer."

The swordsman forced a laugh and quickly left with his companions.

"Is he a madman?"

"We've walked some distance from Su Mu," a swordsman said in a low voice.

"It looks like it."

Another swordsman muttered

…………

Su Mu remained standing, watching the departing group of swordsmen. He picked up a flask of wine and took a large gulp. The fiery taste of the wine was almost like being on fire. As he watched their departing figures, he laughed heartily again.

At that moment, he almost wanted to shout, "Have you ever seen a ghost bathed in sunlight?"

However, he didn't shout it out; he just laughed heartily.

Kanao tilted her head, looking at her uncle, not understanding what he was laughing at. But seeing him laughing so hard, she scratched her head and let out a cute, innocent laugh.

"Hehe~hehe~~hehehe~~"

Chapter 96 Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, Kanao (3/4 (two-in-one))

Kanao is sick

She fell ill after spending a day and a night in the rain without eating a single grain of rice. At that time, Kanao's mind was already hazy. Coupled with the extreme emotions she experienced, from great sorrow to great joy, little Kanao had to bear burdens that were not appropriate for her age.

So, not long after Su Mu carried her out of the mountains, Kanao's body began to burn, and she became dizzy and confused.

It was only at this moment that Su Mu snapped out of his excitement from basking in the sunlight.

They immediately took Kanao to find the best doctor in the vicinity.

…………

A nice room.

The girl lay there drowsily on the soft bedding.

"How about it?"

Beside him, Su Mu held the hand of the old doctor who had just finished examining Kanao, looking somewhat nervous.

"It's alright, nothing serious. After taking the medicine and resting, you'll get better soon. Don't worry too much."

The old doctor offered a word of comfort, but with a hint of reproach: "It's just that girls have good immune systems. If they were more delicate, they might have a hard time. How could you, as an adult, not be careful?"

"It's my fault."

Su Mu also felt very guilty.

The old doctor actually wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Su Mu's appearance, he didn't continue to say anything blaming. However, he still reminded him, "You need to pay more attention to him on a daily basis. Children are actually very delicate. Even a minor illness can lead to big problems."

"I must pay close attention to these things."

Su Mu nodded.

"Just take your medicine on time and get plenty of rest. I should go now."

"it is good."

Su Mu nodded and handed a large sum of money to the doctor.

"That's too much."

Looking at the amount of money, the old doctor felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Please take it, sir. If anything happens later, we may need to trouble you again."

Su Mu put the money into the doctor's medical kit: "Thank you so much."

"If there are any problems later, let me know in time and I will come over to check immediately."

"it is good."

………………

The dawn pierced through the thin mist, bringing a soft light to the horizon.

The birdsong of newly awakened birds carries the dewdrops, and the tips of grass hold up the morning dew like shattered diamonds, refracting the first wisp of gold into tiny starlight.

Everything was bathed in a cool tranquility, as if waiting for the rosy dawn to drape the world in a pale golden veil.

Kanao woke up groggily, her head still felt terrible, she was very thirsty, and she felt generally unwell.

She vaguely sensed someone watching her. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw her uncle sitting beside her, quietly watching her with a cup of hot water in his hand.

"You're awake, Kanao."

Su Mu reached out and touched the girl's head; it was still a little hot.

"uncle."

Kanao struggled to get up, but her uncle gently pressed down on her shoulder: "You're not well yet, you need to rest."

"But Kanao wants to train."

Kanao bit her lip.

"Let's talk about it after you recover."

The tone was firm and unquestionable.

"Ok."

Kanao was somewhat reluctant, but her uncle's wishes always outweighed everything else, even her own life.

"Are you thirsty? Have a sip of water first. I've cooked some porridge for you outside, but it will take a while to prepare."

"I'm a little thirsty."

Kanao whispered, and then her uncle gently helped her up, and her head rested in his warm embrace.

Then, warm water appeared on her lips.

Kanao took a small sip, then looked up. The warm sunlight shone through the window behind her uncle, falling on his profile.

Suddenly, I felt that my body didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Good morning, Uncle.

She watched the morning sunlight fall on her uncle and spoke softly.

Good morning, Kanao.

Su Mu spoke in a similarly gentle tone.

After feeding Kanao a sip of warm water, Su Mu gently put Kanao down and went to the kitchen. Seeing that the hot porridge was ready, he brought it back.

Kanao, who was sick, didn't have a good appetite, but she still ate some.

Although he was still feeling groggy, he seemed to really want to talk to his uncle, but Su Mu asked him to close his eyes and continue resting.
