Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Su Mu smiled.

"If...if you like it, I can...I can find a way."

"Ha, forget it, too much trouble."

Su Mu shook his head, then said somewhat seriously, "Instead of studying these things, I think Nezuko can focus more on swordsmanship. Nezuko has a high talent for swordsmanship."

"I'm a girl... I don't need to do this kind of thing..."

Nezuko retorted.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu frowned deeply, his expression turning rather unpleasant.

Nezuko, who was about to retort, looked up and saw the man's expression. Her voice immediately softened, and she lowered her head, saying, "I...I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again next time."

"Okay, don't do it again next time."

Su Mu said earnestly, "You should focus more on swordsmanship."

"Ah."

Nezuko nodded seriously, then secretly glanced at the man: "This time..."

"Let it go this time, but don't let it happen again."

"This won't happen again."

The girl said it heavily.

Chapter 122 May You Gather More (4/4 (Two-in-One))

Having purchased a horse-drawn carriage and carrying only simple luggage, Su Mu led the Zao Men family on another moving journey.

Many things were abandoned, including the tools that the Kamado family had used for generations to make charcoal.

Su Mu sat on the carriage shaft, driving the carriage, while Kanao sat quietly beside him, her pink and purple eyes watching the passing scenery.

Kamado Aoi held her youngest child, Rokuta, inside the carriage, looking out through the carriage window. Although the carriage's shock absorption was only so-so, and the road conditions made it a bit bumpy, it was much better than the last time they had trekked through the deep mountains in heavy snow.

The food was plentiful, the weather was great, and occasionally if anyone got tired of sitting, my husband would stop to rest. Once everyone had rested enough, we would set off again.

Rather than a chaotic relocation, it was more like a trip, at least for Kamado Hime.

Occasionally, she would pull her daughter Nezuko aside and whisper a few words to her on the street. Every time she spoke, Nezuko couldn't help but secretly glance at Su Mu, then lower her head and blush.

The girl's eyes no longer held the same resistance and sadness as before.

There was even a hint of anticipation.

…………

"Sir, why did you choose to move to Sagiri Mountain?"

Tanjiro was somewhat curious when he came to replace Su Mu as the driver of the carriage.

"Because I need to visit someone named Urokodaki Sakonji on your behalf."

"Urako-no-Kami?"

Tanjiro looked confused.

Su Mu glanced at Tanjiro. At this moment, Tanjiro was unaware that Urokodaki Sakonji was originally supposed to be his future mentor, and it was Urokodaki Sakonji's initial teaching that laid a solid foundation for Tanjiro.

In the past few days, while teaching Tanjiro and the Kamado family swordsmanship, he discovered that he was not actually suited to be a 'trainer', and he suddenly realized that the Demon Slayer Corps was actually the best place to train Tanjiro.

"He is a retired 'Pillar' from the Demon Slayer Corps."

He explained again.

"column?"

"The 'Pillars' are the most powerful members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Generally speaking, there are only nine 'Pillars' at any given time, and each 'Pillar' has a record of slaying the Twelve Demon Moons."

Tanjiro now understands demons and knows how terrifying the Twelve Demon Moons are. According to his master, even he is no match for the Twelve Demon Moons now.

It's hard to imagine just how powerful a 'Pillar' could slay the Twelve Demon Moons.

"This time, I'm going to visit Urokodaki Sakonji and ask him to teach you how to slay demons. After all, he's much better than me at slaying demons."

Tanjiro looked up and glanced at Su Mu: "Aren't you worried at all, sir?"

What are you worried about?

Su Mu looked up at Tanjiro with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding the implied meaning in Tanjiro's words.

"nothing."

Tanjiro lowered his head.

Su Mu smiled and patted Tanjiro on the shoulder: "You drive now, I'll rest in the carriage for a while."

"Ah."

Su Mu handed the riding crop to Tanjiro, then took Kanao's hand and stepped into the carriage.

The interior of the car is actually quite spacious, but with so many people and a lot of stuff loaded inside, it feels a bit cramped.

Upon seeing him enter, Nezuko immediately made way for him.

He nodded to Nezuko, then pulled Kanao to sit down beside her.

Sitting opposite was Kamado Aoi. Although the carriage was a bit bumpy, the woman's posture was still very proper, and she exuded a very gentle aura.

Because they were sitting almost face-to-face, Su Mu could clearly observe everything, thinking of Tanjiro, Nezuko, and this family of well-behaved children.

He couldn't help but admire the woman's always proper and serene demeanor, as well as her excellent ability to manage a household.

You know, naughty kids can be a real headache, but he didn't have a single headache with these kids during his many days at the Kamado family. Not to mention Tanjiro and Nezuko, Hanako and Takeo were both very sensible, and even the younger Rokuta was very well-behaved.

Therefore, every time I see Kamado Hime and feel her gentle temperament, I can't help but admire her.

I also marvel at Tanjuro's good fortune.

Such a gentle woman was cruelly murdered by Muzan Kibutsuji in the original ending, which is truly heartbreaking.

At this moment, he had no lewd thoughts; he was simply appreciating it purely.

Being watched, especially by men, was somewhat uncomfortable for Kamado Aoi, who was almost always at home. However, she could also sense that Su Mu's gaze was not malicious, which made her feel much more at ease.

Reaching out, she gently smoothed her slightly disheveled hair, and asked softly, "Don't you know how old you are, sir?"

Why are you asking these questions?

Kamado Aoi glanced at Nezuko, then lowered her head again: "I was just asking casually."

"Oh!"

Su Mu nodded and thought for a moment. He was actually a little confused about his age because he didn't remember these things. After all, he wasn't one of those people who were obsessed with birthdays. In the other world, he rarely celebrated birthdays either. He would often realize that he had grown another year older only after a year had passed.

For a working-class person, being busy with life is already exhausting.

"I'm probably around twenty-eight."

"Twenty-eight?"

Kamado Aoi was somewhat surprised. She looked very young, not at all like someone who was twenty-eight. She looked more like someone who was around twenty years old. Even Nezuko next to her looked up in surprise.

"It's much bigger than Nezuko."

Kamado Aoi said softly, "I'm only twenty-nine years old. In fact, the two of you are about the same age." She glanced at Nezuko, who looked a little disappointed, and said gently, "It's normal for a guy to be a little older. Although he's a decade older than Nezuko, older guys are more likely to take care of people."

Su Mu looked at the sunflower branch by the stove with some confusion.

"I wonder if you have ever had wives or concubines in the past?"

Kamado Aoi asked again.

Nezuko, standing nearby, was even more nervous, clutching the hem of her clothes.

Not yet.

He shook his head.

Kamado Aoi looked at Su Mu with some doubt, somewhat disbelieving: "Someone as outstanding as you should have many girls who like you, right?"

"Really!"

He smiled but didn't say anything.

Kamado Aoi, however, felt that there might be some story behind this.

Or perhaps something happened before she became a ghost, or she had other unhappy experiences.

But in any case, it's a good thing for Nezuko.

The only regrettable thing is that he is a ghost.

Aside from her identity as a demon, the only other issue is her age. But in Kamado Aoi's view, age is not a problem at all; in fact, age might even be an advantage.

She was more worried about Nezuko, after all, it wouldn't be good if the immature Nezuko harbored some resentment because of her age.

In Kamado Aoi's view, young men and women often have big conflicts over small disagreements, which can easily escalate into major disputes. Older men, on the other hand, tend to be more tolerant and more forgiving of their younger wives' little whims.

Moreover, these days I've also felt that the gentleman is a very tolerant and gentle person, and more willing to listen to women's thoughts and respect women's wishes than any other man here.

These things were even unimaginable to Kamado Aoi, after all, her master was already so powerful.

Kamado Aoi wanted to ask Su Mu when he planned to marry Nezuko, but seeing that Su Mu had already closed his eyes, she decided not to ask.

In truth, she still doesn't really understand Su Mu.

However, given the superior performance Nezuko has shown at the Kamado family these past few days compared to any other man there, Kamado Aoi, being someone with experience, believes that Nezuko would be happier if she followed him.

…………

When they were still some distance from Mount Kyogoku, Su Mu had Tanjiro stop the carriage.

The children were exhausted from the long car ride, and when they got off, they all had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Su Mu was very familiar with the process of lighting a campfire.

While the campfire was being lit, Zaomen Kuizhi had already prepared the ingredients.

Su Mu decisively rejected Kamado Aoi's suggestion to come alone and also helped out from the side.

Soon, the aroma of hot food was released.
