Demon Slayer: Starting with the Kingdom

Listening to Doma's explanation, she raised her hand to touch her chin, thought about it carefully, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Knight Doma, you're in love."

Turning to look into Mitsuha's determined eyes, Doma blinked rapidly.

What does "love" mean?

"It means that your heart will no longer belong to you alone; a part of it will belong to someone else."

Completely unable to comprehend Mitsuha's profound words, which carried a hint of philosophy, Douma pointed to his heart and earnestly explained:

"No, Your Holiness, my heart has always been here. No one has taken it away from me."

"Ha, you don't believe me? Fine, I'll go down and kill that woman right now, and we'll split her in two, one half for each of us..."

"No! Your Majesty! Please, spare Kotoyo!"

In an instant, he pounced forward and hugged Mitsuha's leg tightly. Doma lay on the ground, his face contorted with grief.

"Little Qinye is so cute, I really want her to live forever!"

"Huh? Since she's so cute, shouldn't we kill her even more?"

If I remember correctly, Knight Doma, you really love eating pretty girls, don't you?

"But...but Xiaoqinye is different! She's the kind of person who's very special..."

Looking down at Doma, who was racking his brains to find the right words, Mitsuha finally revealed a smile that seemed to indicate that his wicked scheme had succeeded.

She crouched down and gently patted Doma's shoulder.

"So, Knight Doma, you're in love, and it's a rare case of love at first sight..."

"love at first sight?"

"Without a doubt, you fell in love with Xiao Qinye the moment you saw her."

That's why you unconsciously resist your physical instincts and decide to keep her by your side.

It's incredible.

This creature, which has always been empty and indifferent to everyone, has actually become so concerned about others.

Moreover, the other party was actually a human being whom he had always pitied and despised in the past?

This must be love!

Even if it isn't, it must be the precursor to love!

This is truly amazing! She actually witnessed such a spectacle in her lifetime!

The probability of this happening is no less low than that of Yan Sheng's brother using Muzan's appearance to go to the red-light district, pick up ten beautiful girls, play with them until he was completely exhausted, and not pay them!

[...Mitsuba?]

No way, she absolutely has to get involved in something this interesting!

Ignoring a sudden, unusual voice, Mitsuha made a decision in her heart.

She was determined to bring Doma and that little girl named Kotoha together!

She had to see what it looked like when this guy truly fell in love with someone!

I imagine that would be a truly wonderful scene!

"So that's how it is... So I've fallen in love with Kotoha..."

Completely unaware of Mitsuha's thoughts at that moment, Doma sat cross-legged on the ground, looking thoughtful.

He suddenly looked up at the smiling Mitsuha in front of him and asked curiously:

"Your Holiness, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"Knight Doma, do you think I'm the kind of person who would lie to you?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, you used to do this kind of thing quite often."

Doma answered Mitsuha's question without hesitation.

After all, they've known each other for over two hundred years, so they understand each other's personalities very well.

"Okay, okay, let's not worry about these trivial things."

But Mitsuha completely ignored the topic and changed the subject, saying:

"Just tell me straight, what exactly do you want me to do for you by calling me here today?"

"Actually, I wanted to ask Your Excellency to... stay with me for a while..."

Feeling a little embarrassed by Mitsuha's direct stare, Douma said:

"Because, as you see, Your Excellency, there's usually no one else in my villa..."

Besides the maids, there was only one girl, Xiaoqinye, and one boy, me.

Perhaps that's why Kotoha usually keeps her distance from me and doesn't want to get too close.

So I thought, if such an outstanding woman as Your Excellency the Saint lived here, it would definitely ease the sense of distance in Kotoha's heart~

"no problem!"

As if afraid that Doma might change his mind, Mitsuha readily agreed.

"Knight Doma, leave everything to me! I swear in the name of the saintess! I will ensure that you and Kotoha are inseparable for all eternity!"

"Great! As expected of the Holy Maiden, she can easily do things that I can't!"

The sound of two people high-fiving echoed in the living room.

"You know that's good! Come on, let me tell you, now just do this..."

And so, under the pretext of reconciling and promoting the relationship between Doma and Kotoha, Mitsuha officially moved into Doma's large villa from that day onwards.

Although Mitsuha herself has no experience in love, it doesn't matter, because it's not important.

Who decided that a dating guru must have dating experience?

This is a new era, we can't have this kind of discrimination anymore, understand?

Moreover, in essence, it wasn't a very difficult thing to bring Doma and Kotoha together.

Firstly, from Douma's perspective, he is indeed very handsome, tall and imposing, with top-notch looks.

Few women in this world would not feel a good impression of him at first sight.

Secondly, while Doma has an abstract personality, a peculiar thought process, and many flaws such as contempt for humanity...

But when he's being a normal person, he's actually quite human.

He uses honorifics with everyone and is generally quite polite, so he could be considered a well-mannered person.

More importantly, Doma was very rich and famous.

In human society, these two things are the biggest advantages besides power and status.

Imagine someone who is good-looking, comes from a wealthy family, has a high social status, and is willing to treat you well for the rest of their life, determined to stay with you until old age. How many people wouldn't be tempted?

Overall, if we ignore his hidden identity as a demon, Doma could be considered a decent man to some extent, I suppose...

Then there's Kokoro's side.

She was a poor woman who had been married but ran away because she could no longer endure her husband's domestic violence.

Qinye's heart must be broken at this moment, and she longs to find a safe haven again.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed him here after being persuaded by Doumo in just a few words.

Therefore, if a gentle, reliable man with good qualities in all aspects appears by her side to accompany her at this time, the relationship between the two will definitely heat up quickly!

Besides all of the above, what's even more surprising is that Xiao Qinye actually had a child with her!

Chapter 149 Please do your best, Miss Kotoha, just for my sake!

The wife ran away from home, and even took her child with her?

This situation is extremely rare in history.

A pitiful woman like Qinye, who chooses to escape her husband's family because of domestic violence, will see her and her husband's children as a burden, even if she doesn't hate them.

In the vast majority of cases, they would not be able to escape with their children.

People like Qinye are extremely rare.

The fact that she didn't forget to take her infant child with her when she fled can only mean that Kotoha truly loves her child...

This also shows that this child is the best breakthrough point!

A perfect breakthrough that can help Doma open up Kotoyo's heart!

"So, you two suddenly called me over because you wanted me to help you... take care of this child?"

On an ordinary day, Akaza, who was preparing for a lecture at the University of Tokyo, was inexplicably dragged away by Mitsuha and Doma.

He looked down at the little brat named Inosuke in Kotoha's arms, his eyes twitching involuntarily.

He, a Doctor of Literature from the University of Tokyo, is now here to enlighten a mere brat?

Are you kidding me? !

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Akaza, under the questioning gazes of Kotoha and Doma, grabbed Mitsuha's hand, pulled her into the hallway outside, and said bluntly:

"I won't do it!"

"Huh? Even if that child is Doma's future son, is it still not allowed?"

"Even if that brat is your son, I still won't do it!"

Despite Mitsuha's persuasion, Akaza refused to budge.

"I'm a PhD in Literature from the University of Tokyo! You filthy woman, do you even know what that means?!"

I am now the youngest, most outstanding, and top scholar at the best university in this country!

Every student who teaches under my tutelage today is a genius, one in a million!

You actually want me to waste my precious time teaching a little kid who can't even read a few words to read and write?

I'm telling you! Don't even think about it! I absolutely will not…

"But what if I told you that this was actually for Komaji's sake too?"

Faced with Akaza's expected rejection, Mitsuha easily defused the situation with just one sentence.

She leaned closer, placed her hand on Akaza's shoulder, and whispered in his ear:

"Doma seems quite interested in that girl, and the girl loves her child so much."

Komaji, think about it. If you could spend more time at once and teach that brat well, make that girl happy, and successfully bring the two of them together...

"By then, will that guy Doma still have time to bother you?"

[Strange...what's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so motivated?]

[So, if I properly train that brat for a while and find a way to get Douma and that woman together, I won't be bothered by Douma anymore?]

Deeply moved by Mitsuha's words, Akaza fell silent, seemingly having already made a decision in his heart.

Before Mitsuha could say anything more, he strode back to the living room, walked straight to Kotoha, and reached out to hold one of her hands tightly.

"Miss Kotoha!"

"Yes, yes! I'm here!"

Seemingly startled by Akaza's incredibly serious expression, Kotoha, who was holding Inosuke, immediately straightened her back.

"From now on, your child is in my care!"

Akaza shouted loudly.

Kotoha was completely bewildered as she looked at Akaza, who was speaking righteously in front of her.

"I promise I will train him to become a talent as outstanding as myself!"

"Th-thank you, Mr. Komaji..."

"At the same time, I wish you and Doma a happy ending!"
