Demon Slayer: Starting with the Kingdom

In any case, the two siblings had never been treated well by anyone since they were young. Even their mother, who brought them into the world, disliked them in every way and regarded them as a burden.

If that's the case, why should he care about others?

Why should he care about those who have never cared about them?

Who cares! Let all this nonsense go to hell! As long as my sister is happy, that's all that matters!

"They're really determined..."

Looking down at Gyutaro's anxious expression, Mitsuha's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

Her palm suddenly cracked open, and blood slowly seeped out.

"Then, as you wish."

The transformation of the Gyutaro siblings did not take long, only a little over a day in total.

To Mitsuha's surprise, the brother and sister woke up together.

What surprised Mitsuha even more was that the two siblings had become the extremely rare "twin demons"!

Twin demons, also known as twin demons, are, as the name suggests, two demons in one, bound by a bond of "being born together".

For this special kind of evil spirit, as long as one evil spirit is not beheaded, the other evil spirit will not die even if it is beheaded.

To completely kill the twin demons, the only way is to behead both demons simultaneously within a very short period of time.

Even in the past few hundred years, demons with this special mechanism have been extremely rare.

After all, its conditions are extremely demanding. In addition to requiring the two evil spirits to have a close blood relationship, they must also transform at the same time, and the two must have a deep bond with each other, etc.

To Mitsuha's even greater surprise, both siblings had awakened Blood Demon Arts.

Among them, Mei, the younger sister, can transform her own flesh and blood into multiple sharp ribbons. These ribbons are flexible and sharp, and can not only be used for wide-range slashing attacks, but also to bind enemies.

More importantly, these ribbons can also act as Xiaomei's "eyes," helping her observe and gather information.

A Blood Demon Art that is more suitable for gathering intelligence in urban areas with many buildings than for combat.

As for the older brother, Gyutaro, his Blood Demon Art is much more aggressive.

Based on his fighting preferences as a human, after transforming into a demon, Gyutaro prefers to use twin scythes made from his own flesh and blood as weapons.

He can use his own blood in conjunction with his scythe to perform various attacks, such as transforming it into a blood scythe and unleashing blood-based slashes, etc.

Its application is somewhat similar to Douma's Blood Demon Art, and it is very much like a degraded and mutated version of Douma's Blood Demon Art.

If we work hard to develop it, we might be able to develop even more attack methods in the future.

In addition, Gyutaro's blood is highly poisonous; even a slight scratch can cause the toxin to quickly enter the body and take effect, making it quite deadly.

"That's all the abilities these siblings currently possess, Lord Muzan."

Late at night, in a private room of a brothel in the red-light district, Doma and the three demons, including Gyutaro, were enjoying themselves as they talked about the demon hunters Doma had just captured from outside.

Meanwhile, Mitsuha sat alone to the side, reporting to Muzan, who was far away, through a mental dialogue.

What do you think of Mitsuha and the others?

"I think at least the lower moon is definitely within reach, and with some effort, becoming the upper moon might even be possible."

After all, it is indeed rare for twin demons to both possess blood demon magic; this has only happened once in hundreds of years.

"And putting aside Kome for now, Gyutaro does have a lot of potential. If he trains properly, he'll definitely become a good helper for you, Lord Muzan..."

Mitsuha replied earnestly.

As the Demon King's excellent secretary, Upper Moon One temporarily holds the power to convene the Upper and Lower Moon meetings and has the right to decide the positions of the Twelve Demon Moons.

Although she didn't really want to do it, she would still do it seriously when it was time to do it.

Sigh, what can you do? Their Ghost King is just AFK and has gone into seclusion...

Chapter 117 Xiaomei can also become a saintess! (Bonus Chapter)

"Then I'll leave these two siblings to you, Mitsuha. Train them to their strength as quickly as possible. I don't want to see any more Upper Moon demons die at the hands of those ants!"

Muzan's voice rang out again.

From his voice, which carried a hint of anger, it was clear that he had not yet recovered from the rage of Upper Moon Six being killed by the Demon Slayer.

Thinking about it carefully, Muzan is actually quite "pitiful" in this matter.

In his original conception, any one of the Twelve Demon Moons should be an existence that could crush the Demon Slayer.

They were supposed to be powerful beings who could inflict devastating damage on the Demon Slayer Corps as soon as they appeared.

Unfortunately for the demons, more than two hundred years since the birth of the Twelve Demon Moons, the Lower Moon demons have never been very powerful and have always been frequently killed by demon slayers.

The Demon Slayer Corps even developed a rule that "anyone who can kill a Lower Rank demon can be directly promoted to a Pillar."

Damn it, the Twelve Demon Moons, a force to be reckoned with, have become a whetstone for your Demon Slayer Corps?!

The Demon King was furious, but unfortunately, the Lower Moon Demon was indeed not very capable, so in the end, his anger could only be a helpless rage.

Now, Muzan has adopted a "semi-laissez-faire" attitude towards the Lower Rank demons, hoping only that the Upper Rank demons can save face and not be killed at will like the Lower Rank demons.

But even this small wish is difficult for the Upper Moon demon to fulfill.

Every few decades, an Upper Moon demon will die at the hands of a demon slayer. This act of suddenly dying in front of you at any time constantly provokes the Demon King's irritable and easily angered nerves.

This ultimately led to the current "Ghost King cheat mechanism".

Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, it was Mitsuha who first proposed the creation of the Twelve Demon Moons, so perhaps it's a matter of responsibility returning to her now...

However, faced with Muzan's unhesitating decision to wash his hands of the matter, Mitsuha decided to fight for herself.

"No, Master Muzan. I'm already exhausted just keeping an eye on Komaji. Besides, I'm juggling multiple roles right now. If you add more people to my team, I'll be worked to death."

[In that case, Mitsuha, you should find someone else to take charge of things for you! Anyway, all I want to see is for these siblings to become Upper Moons as soon as possible! That's all!]

After saying that, Muzan didn't give Mitsuha any more chance to speak and directly cut off the mental dialogue.

Mitsuha's mind went silent for a moment, and she let out a deep sigh.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Hearing her sigh, Douma, who was clinging to his arm and gnawing on it, turned around and asked:

"Did that lord say something to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the geisha brother and sister, Taro, turned around and looked at him at the same time.

Clearly, the brother and sister were also very concerned about where they would go in the future.

"Lord Muzan said that I should be in charge of teaching the Gyutaro siblings..."

"Isn't this great? With your strength, Holy Maiden, you'll definitely be able to train these siblings to be very, very strong! Maybe they'll even become stronger than me!"

"Good my foot! I have a lot of things to do too, you know, and I'm already teaching that little Komaji... wait!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Mitsuha looked at Doma, a meaningful smile curving her lips.

"Doma, I suddenly had a thought, why don't we just send the brother and sister to your Eternal Paradise Cult?"

"Hey, what are you doing at my Eternal Bliss Cult?"

"Of course I'd become a saintess!"

Meeting Douma's questioning gaze, Mitsuha quickly stepped forward and sat down next to Komei, putting one arm around her shoulder and poking her pretty little face, which was stained with a few specks of blood, with the other, and said with a smile:

"Don't religions usually have a similar symbol? Look how cute Xiaomei is, she's perfect for you to be the saintess!"

That's right, that's it!

By selling the Gyutaro siblings to Doma, they could not only achieve their main goal of "finding a powerful demon to teach the two siblings."

It can also give Doma something to do, so that he won't keep bothering her, the saintess, all the time.

More importantly, Mitsuha can also use this opportunity to carefully observe Doma's various reactions when interacting with others, thereby further achieving her additional goal of observing Doma's psychological state!

This is a plan that kills three birds with one stone!

But Douma refused.

He refuted Mitsuha's sales pitch without hesitation:

"But my Eternal Bliss Cult already has a Holy Maiden like you!"

"So, when exactly did I become your saintess?"

Mitsuha asked helplessly.

She had been curious about this for a long time. Why did this guy keep calling her "Saintess" as soon as he saw her?

What, did you see me in a past life?

"It has always been so! From the very first day since the founding of the Pure Land of Eternal Bliss!"

"If that's the case, why don't you just find another saintess now?!"

"Look how cute Xiaomei is, isn't she more suitable than me?"

"Absolutely not! Our entire Eternal Bliss Sect exists solely for Miss Sanye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Douma raised his head and held his hands high above his head, then bowed his head and clasped his hands together in front of his chest. Finally, with a devout expression, he shouted loudly:

"Praise be to the Holy Maiden!"

Goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body. Before Mitsuha could react, she saw Koume beside her also imitating Douma's movements, devoutly shouting:

"Praise be to the Holy Maiden!"

Mei didn't know what Douma was doing, nor did she know what it meant; she just thought it was fun.

"Doma! You son of a bitch...!"

"That, that..."

Just as Mitsuha was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to twist Doma's head off, Gyutaro, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up tentatively.

"Actually, Xiaomei and I could have continued living in the flower street..."

For Gyutaro, who had never left the red-light district since childhood, he could not imagine what the world outside the red-light district was like.

Living at the bottom of society, he had no expectations or longings for the outside world.

He undoubtedly loathed everything about the red-light district, but if he had to choose, he would instinctively choose this place he despised...

The contradictions and complexities of human nature.

But this time, it was Mitsuha's turn to disagree.

Mitsuha rejected Gyutaro's suggestion without hesitation.

“A place like Red Street is not for normal people. Since I said I would take responsibility, I naturally cannot let you stay in this filthy cannibalistic place any longer.”

Her expression finally became more serious, and two suitable figures appeared in her mind. Mitsuha stood up and said:

"Let's go, stop eating for now, I'll take you to see two people."

(Take a guess at where these two siblings went, meow~)

Chapter 118 Diligent Study Akaza

As night falls, Akaza's day officially begins.

In the secluded mountain cabin, Yiwo first bathed and changed clothes, then burned incense and lit candles.

Then I sat down at the front of the desk, spread out a sheet of white paper, ground the ink, picked up the brush, and began my day of writing.

"In the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

Confucius said, “Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?”

"The Tao can be said, very Tao, the name can be famous, very famous..."

On the white paper, Yiwozuo's handwriting was neat, vigorous and powerful.

This is the beautiful handwriting he painstakingly honed over decades under the oppression of that vile woman.

Every day, Yiwo-zuo ​​recites the Three Character Classic, the Analects, and the Tao Te Ching from memory. This is a daily task for him.

Of course, he was definitely not happy about it at first.
