Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

The girl didn't think much of it and carried the food over.

A man and a woman were by the window. The man was dressed in simple everyday clothes and looked very tall and strong. He was looking out the window, so his face was not visible.

The girl next to her was very pretty, dressed exquisitely, and her hair was well-groomed. Occasionally, guests would glance at her, but unlike her, no one dared to say anything vulgar to her.

The girl felt that this girl, who was almost the same age as her, was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place her.

"Sir, here is the food you ordered."

The girl carried the food upstairs, bent down slightly, and placed the food on the table one by one.

At this moment, Su Mu, who was looking out the window, turned around and said in a gentle tone:

Thank you.

"It's alright, sir."

The girl spoke softly. Compared to other guests, this guest was very polite, and his voice was also very gentle. But when the girl looked up and saw that fairly good-looking face, her delicate and cute face almost immediately showed an expression of extreme fear, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"what!"

Almost instinctively, she screamed, dropping the food she was carrying. She stumbled backward, falling to the ground, her eyes filled with terror.

"Ghost... ghost!"

All the guests in the room were drawn to the girl by the noise.

The shop owner, Imai, also showed annoyance and anger. In broad daylight, how could there be ghosts?

Su Mu, who was being pointed at by the girl, was slightly surprised, but after seeing the girl's face clearly, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Su Mu never expected to meet Nezuko here.

However, upon closer reflection, it wasn't entirely unexpected. After leaving the deep mountains, due to Kanao's illness, he could only seek medical treatment in a nearby town. The Kamado family, a large household consisting entirely of women and children, couldn't possibly move too far. It was already quite an achievement that they were able to leave the deep mountains at all.

"Ghost, ghost!"

Nezuko almost retreated in terror. She remembered Su Mu, that demon, all too clearly. Back then, her brother had almost split Su Mu's skull open with an axe, but Su Mu had simply removed the axe as if nothing had happened.

The sight of his bloodied and ferocious face back then still haunts me, giving me nightmares almost every night.

Every time I think of that terrifying scene, I tremble all over.

"Nezuko, what are you doing...?"

The restaurant owner, Imai, walked over angrily. What kind of customer would come to eat and say that the other party was a ghost? In broad daylight, what kind of ghost would come out? If you anger the customer, how can you do business?

While scolding him, Imai smiled apologetically at Su Mu: "Sir, this child is ignorant, please don't take it to heart. This meal is on me."

Su Mu ignored Imai, instead toying with the sake cup in his hand, looking at Nezuko with a rather mischievous grin, his tone relaxed:

Have you ever seen a ghost bathed in sunlight?

Beside her, Kanao sensed her uncle's relaxed mood and leaned forward slightly, resting her chin on her hand, her pinkish-purple eyes sizing up Nezuko, who was the same age as her.

Compared to her own exquisite clothes and well-dressed appearance, Nezuko looked much more disheveled, and her pretty and cute face now showed signs of terror.

"Is my uncle really that scary?"

Kanao blinked, looking somewhat puzzled.

Why are you afraid of my uncle?

Nezuko, who had fallen to the ground, retreated in terror, glancing around at everyone who seemed surprised by her actions.

Su Mu gently downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and seeing the terrified Nezuko, he smiled again and asked, "Have you ever seen a demon bathed in sunlight?"

"Why do people think I'm a ghost? This is so boring."

He smiled softly and shrugged as if in helplessness.

"Nezuko, hurry up and apologize to the guest."

Imai berated Nezuko, regretting hiring her. Although Nezuko's beauty had brought a lot of business to the restaurant, it had also attracted a lot of local thugs, making the restaurant a chaotic mess.

Nezuko looked around the hall. Everyone was staring at her strangely, which intensified her fear. Right now, standing in front of her was a demon! Hadn't they all noticed?

Didn't you realize it was a ghost?

The thought of a ghost standing right in front of them, while everyone else ignored it, was unbearable.

Even now, bathed in sunlight, Nezuko felt a chill run through her body, especially when she thought about that night; she was so terrified she almost cowered there.

"I'm...I'm sorry, please, please don't hurt my family, don't eat my family, eat me instead..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Nezuko?"

Su Mu spoke again: "What ghosts? There are no ghosts in this world."

Nezuko pursed her lips, looked at Su Mu, and didn't dare to speak, but her eyes grew increasingly terrified.

Beside them, the boss, Imai, was about to lose his temper again, but Su Mu smiled and said, "Let her come and have a drink with me for a while, and you can go and bring some food. You'll still pay the price."

Seeing that the customer was not angry and would still pay the price, Imai smiled with relief. He was really worried that the customer would make a scene and cause a big fuss, which would be difficult to handle.

"Nezuko, you should apologize properly and not upset the guests again."

Imai gave Nezuko a stern reprimand and then went to prepare. After all, the guest seemed like an easy-going person and probably not some thug. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to leave Nezuko alone.

"Come and sit down."

Su Mu patted the side.

"Waaah..."

Nezuko let out a pitiful, animal-like cry of distress, which made her appear endearingly pathetic.

Not daring to disobey the evil spirit's command, they knelt down beside it almost cautiously.

Su Mu glanced at her briefly. Even amidst such fear, Nezuko still managed to display a touch of cuteness in her expression. Truly worthy of being called Nezuko.

Nezuko, you seem to be afraid of me?

Su Mu sipped his wine and asked with a smile.

"Please...please don't hurt my family."

Nezuko said softly, her voice almost pleading.

Su Mu was somewhat amused and exasperated. However, judging from Nezuko's expression, he guessed that his intrusion into Nezuko's house that night had created a very bad impression on her.

Why would I hurt your family?

He shrugged, then leaned forward, his face almost touching Nezuko's: "Back then, it was your good brother who hurt me first. That axe blow really hurt me."

The demon's scorching breath and the crimson glint hidden in his dark eyes nearly made Nezuko faint. If she hadn't been kneeling there, her weak legs would have caused her to collapse.

"I...I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of...on behalf of my brother."

The girl lowered her head, not daring to meet the ghost's eyes. After thinking carefully, she realized that it was indeed her brother who had attacked the ghost with the axe first.

"An apology is all it takes?"

Looking at Nezuko, whose face had turned pale with fright, Su Mu sneered: "That was a blow from an axe, it really... hurts."

Beside her, Kanao narrowed her beautiful pinkish-purple eyes, staring at Nezuko with murderous intent.

"M-Master, what...what can I do to forgive my brother? As long as...as long as you forgive my brother, you...you can make Nezuko do...do anything."

"Oh! You can do anything?"

Su Mu brought his face close to Nezuko's, his eyes fixed on the girl's almost closed eyes.

"Well, anything...anything is fine, even eating...eating is fine too, as long as it doesn't hurt my family, doesn't hurt my brother."

"It seems you have a really good relationship with your family. You're even willing to sacrifice yourself for them."

Su Mu chuckled, then raised his glass and looked at Nezuko: "Really... anything?"

"Anything...anything is fine."

Nezuko bit her lip, mustered her courage, and raised her head. She had already imagined the scene of being dismembered and eaten. Just thinking about it terrified her, but as long as the demon was willing to spare her brother and family, that was enough.

However, even though I was prepared to make a sacrifice, I couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness.

"How about this..."

Su Mu looked at Nezuko.

Nezuko, kneeling on the ground, clenched her little hands tightly, her whole body radiating unease, as if she had become the little white rabbit in the big bad wolf's mouth, about to be swallowed whole at any moment.

He was prepared to be sentenced to death.

Su Mu placed the poured wine glass in front of Nezuko: "How about this, if you finish this glass of wine, it will be your apology to me, and I will forgive your brother for his rudeness to me back then?"

Nezuko didn't understand at first.

Once she understood, she immediately looked up at the ghost in astonishment, her voice stammering, "Really...really...as long as...as long as I drink one cup of wine, is that all it takes?"

"of course."

Su Mu looked at Nezuko with a smile.

"really?"

Nezuko almost screamed with delight.

"of course."

Su Mu repeated it again.

Nezuko still stared at the demon in disbelief, still somewhat doubtful. Were all demons this easy to talk to? This demon... didn't seem so scary.

Chapter 101 Are you really a ghost? (4/4)

"Really...really?"

Nezuko looked at the demon before her with a mixture of anticipation and fear, her small hands, resting on her knees, almost twisting together.

Su Mu didn't say anything, but simply raised his glass to the girl.

Nezuko glanced at the demon somewhat timidly, then carefully took the sake cup and brought it to her lips. As she drank, her eyes secretly glanced at the demon. When she saw the demon looking at her, she immediately lowered her head, closed her eyes, and drank the entire cup in one gulp.
