My avatar is the heroine

"You also want to join the Demon Slayer Corps?" Shinobu Kocho paused for a moment, then deliberately let out a surprised laugh. "If you join the Demon Slayer Corps, I would be very happy to welcome you."

Strength is extremely important. The Demon Slayer Corps has existed for hundreds of years and has never been able to completely eliminate Muzan. This shows just how terrifying the fighting power of demons is.

Over the years, countless families have been plunged into tragedy. Ordinary people turned into demons by Muzan have most likely lost their humanity, wanting to eat human flesh at the sight of it, not even sparing their own families. Moreover, their fighting power increases rapidly from the start, they are immune to blades, and their injuries can heal automatically. As they consume more and more human flesh, they may even gain some unique characteristics.

It is precisely for these reasons that the Demon Slayer Corps' battles are exceptionally dangerous. Even ordinary demons can cause casualties among its members.

However, over the years, they have faced countless demons, but they have never encountered an Upper Moon demon, let alone Muzan.

……

With the arrival of the crow's message, Kanao stopped killing Nezuko and focused her attention on the crow's order.

Why did headquarters take them away?

---Dividing line---

P.S.: Updates will resume tomorrow.

Chapter 131 Strange People

After the crow relayed the order, everyone stopped fighting.

Kurohime landed in front of Kanao first and carefully scanned the three people in front of her.

Kanao and Nezuko were unharmed, while Tanjiro had wounds. It was clear that most of the wounds were inflicted by Lower Moon Five, with only a few inflicted by Kanao.

As Kurome arrived at the scene, Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka followed.

"Wow, that's fast! Are you a monster?"

Shinobu Kocho considered herself to be quite fast, not only as agile as a swallow but also able to leap quickly from treetop to treetop. But even so, she couldn't catch up with Kurome in front of her at all.

Upon seeing the three who had suddenly arrived, Kanao hesitated for a moment, then took out a coin from her person and tossed it forcefully into the air.

After falling, the coin landed heads up.

Then she asked, "Who are you?"

His tone didn't reveal any strong emotions, and his words were very concise.

After thinking for a moment, Yoshiyuki Tomioka bluntly said, "She is very likely to be the tenth pillar in the future."

Kanao tilted her head, saying nothing.

……

The battle is over, and the cleanup work has begun.

The Demon Slayer Corps' aftermath unit swiftly and efficiently treated the wounded. Most of their members were weak individuals lacking swordsmanship skills and unable to fight. Therefore, they had to wait until after the battle to treat the injured.

Black Eyes sat on a tree, gently swinging her slender legs.

She and her main body were in a relatively distant, open area, quietly gazing at the distant scenery.

A large group of people were tied up tightly, with only their two big, blinking eyes showing.

He saw Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was much smaller and leaning against a tree, covered in bandages, looking rather adorable.

This battle against the Lower Moon Five is incredibly difficult; in Su Lin's opinion, Lei even has more potential than some Upper Moons. If he could rise to the Upper Moon, who knows how hard his spider silk would become.

After all, even without activating Blood Demon Art, he was already able to easily cut through the Nichirin Blade.

The Demon Slayer Corps' aftermath unit was busy moving the wounded. Most of the tiny people were transformed by a spider-like demon. Anyone poisoned by it would turn into a tiny spider.

Hashibira Inosuke is in a very bad situation; he has encountered the father of the Oni clan. Not only is the opponent enormous and incredibly strong, but his body is also comparable to solid steel.

If it weren't for Giyu Tomioka's timely rescue, he might have died in this battle.

"Something seems off about Pig-kun."

Wearing a wild boar headgear, he was no longer the berserk pig shouting "Pig Charge!" but a dazed pig who doubted his own existence and was filled with self-doubt.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The key point is that Kurohime's request to join the Demon Slayer Corps was reported at this time. Because of her contribution in helping to kill Lower Moon Five, she was able to go to headquarters with these people with the help of Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka.

Correspondingly, Kurohime felt she should tell these people about her true form.

Otherwise, if they find out when the time comes, there will be no way to explain it.

……

Half an hour later, dawn broke.

The morning sun had begun to show a glimmer of light, but the earth remained dark.

Giyu Tomioka arrived under the big tree, intending to call Kurohime to leave together, but instead he saw a man sitting with the black-haired girl.

They were so close, they looked just like a couple.

Although this should be normal, he still instinctively felt somewhat uncomfortable after seeing Su Lin's appearance and temperament.

This feeling is actually quite normal. After all, it's normal for a beautiful woman to be in front of you, especially since she has a boyfriend who doesn't seem very outstanding. Most young people would feel uncomfortable about that.

How could you not have any thoughts when a beautiful girl is in front of you?

While the competition for mates among humans may not be as frenzied as in some animals, it is still ingrained in our genes. Even if you don't consciously pay attention, your subconscious will remind you at times.

“Mr. Tomioka, right?” Kurohime said to Giyu Tomioka, who was about ten meters away, “I have to take him with me.”

"The Demon Slayer Corps doesn't accept just anyone."

This means that Su Lin's origins are unknown, and it's one thing to make an exception for the single Black Pupil, but there's no way to add another one now.

"We're all demon hunters, what's the difference? If you think the organization doesn't need someone like me, then I won't go. Anyway, he's going to stick with me; we can't be separated." Black Eyes shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

Giyu Tomioka: "..."

Damn, they're still on such good terms.

Beneath his calm expression, his envy for Su Lin was even stronger. What had this man done to seduce this woman, making her almost give up the chance to join the Demon Slayer Corps?

"In that case, you shall come with me. If the lord does not agree, there is nothing I can do."

"Of course, no problem. If I go, your lord's health condition might still be treatable."

Black Eyes spoke with a smile, instantly putting the other person on guard.

How did you know about the lord's situation?

"Is it strange? It's not a big deal to know these things."

Giyu Tomioka: "..."

The report naturally agreed. As Su Lin had predicted, the Demon Slayer Corps lacked combat power; any individual capable of killing demons was needed. The organization's true enemies were only demons, and Kurome was human and a powerful demon slayer, so there was no reason to let him go.

Furthermore, she possesses the power to control demons, which is particularly strange. If it weren't for repeated confirmation that she is human, everyone might suspect that she is an undercover agent sent by Muzan.

……

When the sunlight appeared, the ghost's corpse was burned to ashes in the sunlight.

This long night has finally come to an end.

Since he decided to move to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Su Lin decided to move all his belongings there.

It is mainly equipment used for forging.

He couldn't forge Nichirin Blades, but the ordinary weapons he forged could kill demons, which was the most incredible thing.

Shinobu Kocho actually knew about this a long time ago, and she especially wanted to tell her lord about it as soon as possible.

Perhaps because of the heavy shadow cast by tonight, many team members left in a hurry, their minds uneasy along the way.

The main force returned to their camp along the wilderness path.

Meanwhile, Su Lin's clones also arrived at headquarters (Rikka Manufacturing) in a vehicle resembling an electric delivery truck.

When many members of the Demon Slayer Corps saw such a car driving by, they all seemed very interested.

What's even more amazing is that there were several incredibly beautiful girls sitting up there.

"What the hell? Is this guy the master of a harem? How come he's surrounded by so many beautiful women?" an unknown member of the Demon Slayer Corps exclaimed in shock.

Chapter 132 Forging at Headquarters

Su Lin had no choice. He knew his situation would be exposed sooner or later, so he might as well reveal it clearly, just like in the first world.

Moreover, he would never reveal information about his abilities to the people of this world. Although this world itself is actually quite safe, it is still somewhat unsettling compared to the original world.

Upon arriving at headquarters, Su Lin was immediately assigned to a designated room.

She had to make Kurome explain to Shinobu Kocho.

"I can only exist for 12 hours a day, after which I will disappear completely."

Upon hearing this, Shinobu Kocho immediately fell silent.

So what's with the idea that it will disappear?

Then Kurohime performed it in front of her.

"Like a certain kind of limited person, whose existence is limited to a certain amount of time each day, the rest of the time is meaningless."

When Shinobu Kocho saw her black eyes flash and disappear for a while before reappearing, her worldview was once again severely impacted.

From the moment he met Su Lin, the style of his art began to change towards a certain metaphysical and mysterious side.

Now, with someone whose existence is limited to a certain time appearing before her, the shock she felt was indescribable.

"You... are you a god?"

Shinobu Kocho remained silent for a long time before uttering those words in disbelief.

"Gods?" Kuroko didn't expect her to use that word.

With her stunning looks, exceptional abilities, and incredible talents, it's not surprising that Shinobu Kocho has some strange speculations about her.

"If even a bizarre monster like Muzan has appeared in this world, it's not surprising that someone like me was born, right?"

After bidding farewell to the Insect Pillar with mixed feelings, Su Lin returned to his room.

He specifically sent his clone over so he could begin a new round of forging.

Like a lottery, you might occasionally get something during forging. Simple things like "Strength +1" or "Spirit +1" that increase physical abilities, while more complex things like materials that increase weapon potential or items that grant you certain abilities.

The previous [Demon-Slaying Stone +1] was actually a type of material.

"Now that I've reached the beginner level of forging, I should be able to forge a weapon with all my might without doing too badly, right?"

Su Lin sighed, picked up the mold in his hand, and prepared to make a piece with a unique appearance.

Swiss Army Knife...revamped.

This folding knife was incredibly famous in its time, incorporating countless functions into one blade. It served as a bottle opener, saw, nail clippers, fruit knife, and more, all in a remarkably small size, easily held in the hand.

Su Lin had long forgotten what this thing looked like, but it wasn't impossible to create something similar.

"With my current skills, I can manage to make a dagger this small, but as for a folding knife... it's definitely a bit difficult."

After brainstorming the design and carefully sketching it on paper, Su Lin began to take action.

Unlike before, when you could make a whole knife from scratch, now you have to start with the individual parts.

Perhaps it was some kind of enhancement, but with a few taps, he quickly achieved his desired result on the forging table.

[Sharpness +1]

With a slight tap, such a sound was heard in my ear.

Every weapon is like this: when it's first forged, it's easy to increase its attributes, but later on, it's very difficult to improve them even a little bit.

On one of his taps, Su Lin received the long-awaited [Killer Ghost] notification.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use."

Not to mention that the +1 effect of the Demon-Killing ability is limited, in the previous battles, we were able to easily kill the demons only because of Kurohime's superb skills and Yatsufusa's powerful performance. Now, it would be too difficult to kill the demons with this weapon. I don't know how many times I would have to stab them.

Besides... who would use a weapon the size of a fist to cut a demon's neck?

Ding!

Another blow.

[Weight - 1]

[Gained +1 Flame-Defying Demon Stone.]
