As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

asked puzzledly.

"...a matter of men and women."

The general looked away and asked with a blush.

"..."

Ying was silent at this moment, staring blankly at his daughter.

"I'm sorry...I asked if I didn't--"

The general felt that he had asked a stupid question...he quickly wanted to explain but——

"Pfft...hehe..."

Ying laughed, yes, he really laughed.

"?"

The general looked at her in confusion.

"Huh... General, do you think I... the existence of Lei Movie is a man or a woman?"

Ying calmed down from being amused by his lovely daughter, and then asked her a philosophical question in a serious tone.

"Of course it's a female—"

"That's not right."

However, Ying shook his head.

"What's wrong? Could it be that you are a man?!"

The general immediately curled up his neck and asked cutely.

"Pfft...that's not right either...huh...let's put it this way, I have no gender."

Shadow shook his head again and then told the truth.

"Why?"

"Because I am a demon, and demons are gender-neutral. At least they do not differentiate between men and women in the human world. They are neither men nor women, so in terms of incarnation... both men and women can be used."

Ying finally told his current daughter this knowledge.

"Then you now..."

"Of course, I am a female avatar now. The reason why Zhen and I chose to use female avatars was just because our personalities are more relevant to women in the world."

"what about me…"

"Of course you are a woman. General, you are a doll based on a woman. You are my... daughter."

When she said 'I', Ying even wanted to add 'It's true' but... she thought about it and gave up. She was afraid that the general wouldn't accept it.

"Well... I see."

The general answered obediently... She understood... Only at this moment did she truly feel the demon side of the mother in front of her who was gentle to her and only her.

"As for what you just asked me...well - I have never experienced anything between a man and a woman."

After seeing her appearance, Ying smiled slightly and then picked up the topic and answered her again.

"In the future...you will find a companion——"

"Will not."

Ying seemed to know what she was going to ask, so he answered decisively, as if to reassure her.

"..."

She looked at each other, and two pairs of equally beautiful purple eyes looked at each other.

"Why—"

"Because for me...you are enough."

She can't take care of her own daughter yet, and what about her future partner? For her, having a lovely and good daughter is enough~

As for future male partners?

Huh...that's ridiculous. She doesn't have that free time to spend time with the other person. If she has that time, she might as well spend more time with her daughter. Besides, the devil will definitely find another immortal person for marriage. How can there be so many immortal people in the world?I'm just aggrieved that the general doesn't have a father, but...it doesn't matter!

She can...be both a mother and a father!

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ~ Self-cultivation as Naruhashira: Chapter 20 Ramen and bubble milk tea?

The two people who wanted to go for a walk on the street were now sitting in a restaurant. The reason was that in the middle of the night, Ying suddenly said that she was hungry and wanted to eat. She couldn't cook for each other directly under the current situation, so I had to find a restaurant somewhere to have a bite.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of places to eat in this bustling commercial street. There are a lot of restaurants. After wandering around, I found a ramen shop. The plaque on the door of the shop still has the color of neon lights. The proportion of the shop is very large. It's big and business is booming.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening, and some office workers happened to have a casual bite with their colleagues after get off work, so there were more people in the store at night, and it was very lively anyway.

"Drink water?"

The shadow sitting on the general's left picked up a small cup in front of him, got himself a cup of warm water, and then signaled to the people around him.

“…not thirsty.

She shook her head, then put her hands lazily on the table and rested her chin slightly.

"..."

Ying didn't say anything after looking at her appearance. He picked up a cup, poured water for her and quietly placed it next to her hand.

"Have a drink..."

She suggested...

"……call."

The general raised her eyes and glanced at the cup in front of her. She seemed to feel a slight heat coming out of it. Then she stood up slightly and lazily picked up the cup and took a simple sip of water.

After Ying saw her drinking, he also drank with her...the elbows of both arms were lightly pressed against the table, and he covered the cup with both hands and put his jade lips on the mouth of the cup to take a subtle sip.

During this period, the general rested his head on his forearm and tilted his head slightly, watching Ying drink water quietly, his eyes filled with idle trance.

They chose a corner location in the store at the moment. Of course, most of the other locations were occupied. Only a few locations had seats, including here. They chose this location so as not to attract other people's attention. .

A standard table for four, with two-seat sofas on both sides. Since it was in a corner... the sofa opposite was right against the wall. On the right was a wall covered with warm wallpaper. On the left was the shadow. Her own position was right inside. She Originally, I wanted to let Ying sit inside, but the other party disagreed and said that she must sit inside. Is this also a mother's obligation?

she doesn't understand...

"film…"

She spoke silently...because she was a little lazy, her tone was a little dull for a while.

"Ok?"

The other party is quite energetic...

"Normally... we should sit opposite each other."

She explained it.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Ying glanced at the guests elsewhere...if they both sat opposite each other, that is to say, they sat on the sofa opposite.

"Is this... a rule?"

Ying asked her confusedly.

"...No, just generally speaking..."

The general shook his head silently and replied lazily, still resting his forearm on his head.

"Since it's not a rule, then it doesn't matter, right?"

Shadow looked away from them... holding his own glass of water as if he didn't care at all.

"Could it be that you don't want me to sit next to you? Do you dislike me?

Shadow asked her quietly.

"(Shakes head)."

The general shook his head silently.

"It's okay if you don't dislike it. If you dislike it...I'll have to sit across from you."

Shadow breathed a sigh of relief.

"No way? I just think that this kind of side-by-side approach is usually... that kind of thing."

The general gestured to the table opposite with his eyes.

"?"

After watching the movie... I found that the opposite person was sitting like them, except that the mother opposite was accompanied by a little girl who was not yet 7 years old, and the child's father was sitting opposite.

"identical?"

Shadow looked at her and answered.

"...What's the same?"

The general complained speechlessly.

"Are we also mother and daughter?"

Ying said to her with a smile, casually getting close to her body, raising his hand to caress her back and her smooth long hair, his movements filled with motherly love.

"...Phew...it's up to you."

Seeing this, she didn't say anything anymore... she closed her eyes and remained motionless while lying on the table with her forearms resting on her arms, but her beautiful face was still facing the direction of Ying.

Seeing this, Ying leaned forward slightly, letting his face be gently close to his daughter's, and his body was also pressed against the table.

"Are you tired?"

He asked in a soft voice.

"No... close your eyes and relax."

The general did not open his eyes, but spoke softly.

"..."
