Demon Slayer: The Second God Who Walks the Earth

Seemingly noticing the doubts of the others, Shinobu Kocho continued, "After all, Mr. Tomioka seems quite unreliable. If no one is watching over him, he might soon be wearing tattered clothes, being disliked, alone, starving, and forced to eat garbage from the ground."

Σ(?д?lll)

Giyu felt like he'd been hit with a thousand points of damage when he heard Shinobu's words, especially after she said she was disliked and alone.

Giyu was initially quite happy when Shinobu Kocho said she wanted to be with him, since she was one of the few people in the entire Demon Slayer Corps who was willing to talk to him. However, the things she said next made Giyu disagree with her.

"I can't be hated by anyone..."

Yiyong began to speak with some emotion.

Hearing his words, the others were already too lazy to even comment.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Shinobu Kocho replied to Giyuu as if she were coaxing a child.

Upon hearing this, Yi Yong shut his mouth and stopped talking.

"Nezuko and I are planning to go home."

Then Tanjiro said with a smile.

"I also need to go!"

After hearing Tanjiro's words, Inosuke raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Tanjiro happily agreed.

Zenitsu, who had been clinging to Tanjiro and Nezuko, didn't say anything at this moment. Although he also wanted to go, what he wanted to do most right now was to go back to Momoyama to take care of Kuwajima Jigoro.

"Yang, do you want to come along?"

Tanjiro smiled and asked Chiba Yang. He, Zenitsu, and Chiba Yang basically knew each other's experiences. Tanjiro knew that Zenitsu should return to Momoyama, so he didn't ask him. However, he did tell Zenitsu the location of his home.

Chiba Yang was taken aback upon hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

"I want to go back and be with my mother..."

Chiba Yo smiled and replied.

After hearing his words, Kyojuro, who had originally wanted to invite Chiba Yo to his house, stopped saying anything.

"Goodbye, children..."

Before parting, Yaozai stood at the headquarters entrance with his family and smiled as he said something to everyone.

Under the midday sun, everyone smiled at each other, then said their goodbyes and went their separate ways...

A few days later, outside Yoshiwara entertainment district

"I don't even know who my parents and family are, so where should I go?"

Koi Natsu stood opposite Chiba Yo and said with a forlorn expression.

"Then come home with me."

More than four hundred years ago, standing by the paddy field, Ji Guoyuan, who had just left home, said to the girl with obsidian-like eyes, "Then I'll go home with you."

In the end, Muichiro remembered the word "infinite," Kyojuro heard Makijuro's long-lost concern, Gyomei and Sayo resolved their inner conflicts, Sanemi regained his gentle smile, Tengen and his wives returned to a peaceful life, Hebi Koi relied on each other, Yoshinobu was his companion, and Chiba Yoya and Koika returned to the village that had become empty...

As they stood before temples, mansions, villages, and huts, they all uttered, with tears in their eyes, the words: "I'm back..."

The deeds of demons and the Demon Slayer Corps are almost unknown to most people. Now, the only one who knows these things is the last demon that was turned from a human...

In a house in a remote town

The walls here are covered with exquisite paintings, each one carefully framed, and all the paintings depict the same subject: an extremely gentle and beautiful woman.

A man is holding a kitten and gazing intently at a painting hanging on the wall. This man is a very famous painter named Yushiro.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and a girl walked in. Her appearance was almost identical to the woman in the painting on the wall.

The sound of the door opening brought Yushiro back to his senses, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he said coldly, "The paintings here are not for sale, and I won't paint for anyone else."

"Sorry to bother you, but a friend told me that the paintings here look a lot like me, so I came to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the woman explained softly that she looked up at the painting hanging on the wall and felt as if she were looking in a mirror.

Upon hearing the voice, Yushiro froze. He turned around, and the figure that had appeared in his dreams so many times was now standing right in front of him.

Chacha Maru jumped down from his arms, walked over to the woman's feet, and rubbed against her leg, the action as practiced as if it had encountered its long-lost owner.

"Jushi...sir..."

The next day, Yushiro held Chachamaru and basked in the sunlight, having consumed the last two doses of the human transformation drug.

At the same time, ghosts completely disappeared from the world...
