As a good guy, it was normal for someone to expect Isao to listen to their request and help them, especially when the voice and expression of those who asked for help were extremely miserable and filled with sadness.
Still, whether he would listen to their request or not, as a good person, he couldn't let them continue to kowtow on the ground of his courtyard even though they entered his property without permission.
Moreover, the three trespassers weren't strangers. Instead, everyone was familiar with each other.
Yes, those three were the wives of Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira, the man who had provoked Isao before.
Among all the Hashira, if Isao was asked who he remembered the most, it would be Tengen since, unlike others who were single and didn't have anyone by their sides, Tengen had three wives.
Yes, three.
Even though polygamy wasn't allowed in this country, this guy had three wives illegally.
Moreover, Tengen's wives were all beautiful.
Hinatsuru, Maiko, and Suma.
Those were their names, and due to their origin, they didn't have a family name, yet even so, they were beautiful on their own.
Hinatsuru had a curvaceous and slender figure with long black hair tied in a ponytail. She also had big, almond-shaped violet eyes framed with thin eyelashes and eyebrows and a distinct beauty mark located beneath her left eye, giving her a gentle and kind appearance.
Maiko had a voluptuous figure with pale skin and large golden brown eyes framed by eyelashes with prominent ones present on both the upper and lower lashes and thin eyebrows arched downward, which gave her a determined and headstrong look. Her black hair was tied up with golden-brown bangs, which hung loosely, framing her face.
Suma, the last woman, also had a shapely figure but with shoulder-length black hair, short bangs, and blue eyes.
All of them had revealing clothes that showed their deep cleavage and their smooth thighs. As they bowed down, their breasts became even more prominent and showed off their amazing figure.
While Isao wanted to see more, his women were inside, and more importantly, he was confused by their appearance.
Why the heck did that guy send their wives here?
Did Tengen wish to show off that he had three wives?
If so, then it was meaningless since Isao had a lot of experience and didn't lack women. At the same time, while he was a good guy, he wasn't someone that was easily provoked!
At the same time, he remembered that Tengen's plot shouldn't appear now.
Among all the plots of the Kimetsu no Yaiba, he had to say Tengen's arc was the weirdest, and this was so dammed since Tengen let his wives become prostitutes. While it was true that Tengen and his wives were ninjas and a ninja was an existence that would do anything to complete their missions, the era had changed, and no matter how one beautified the prostitute profession, it was impossible to erase social stigma, and for a guy who could let his wives serve others?
Isao shook his head and didn't have an interest in such a guy, especially when he had replicated Tengen's DNA, which erased all the value that Tengen had. Moreover, unlike the others, Tengen wasn't that talented, and among all the Hashira, his skill could be among the lowest.
Like the breathing style that Tengen mastered, Sound Breathing was all noise without much essence.
Even Shinobu's Insect Breathing, which used poison, was much better than the Sound Breathing, which was all loud and used a firework to defeat his enemy.
Moreover, after Tengen's provocation of him before, how did Tengen dare to ask for his help?
Lastly, had they been stalking Kanae, Shinobu, and Kanao to find his house?
If so, then it was impossible for him to have a better impression of Tengen.
Still, there was no need for him to say anything since Shinobu, who was the most outspoken, quickly asked the three, "Hinatsuru-san, Maiko-san, Suma-san, what are you three doing? How did you find this place? Have you been following us?!" Even though they knew each other, it was impossible for Shinobu to have a good impression of someone who had followed her.
"Calm down, Shinobu. You should know what their situation is, right?" Kanae said calmly, but her expression wasn't much better since their request would endanger Isao, the father of her children. Still, she also felt a lot of helplessness, especially when she knew their situation.
"What's wrong?" Isao asked in doubt.
Still, this question made Kanae and Shinobu feel awkward and also sad.
As for Kanao, she never said much to begin with, so she just stayed in silence, but her expression showed that she knew what was happening.
"What's happening?" Amane asked with a frown. As she had been with Isao for the past two weeks, she didn't know anything that had happened in the Demon Slayer Corps.
Hesitating, in the end, Suma, the one whose emotion was easily affected, cried. "Te-Tengen-sama had died!" Her crying was heartbreaking, and Maiko, who usually scolded Suma, didn't say anything and just quietly cried.
"Te-Tengen Uzui-sama died?" Amane was shocked since she didn't expect one of the Hashira to die.
Isao was also dumbfounded since how could this guy die?
Out of all the Hashira, while Tengen was weak, he had the best luck among all its members.
Unlike the others who had their families killed by the demon, he joined the Demon Slayer Corps because he just wanted to part away from his family's tradition. Moreover, he also had three wives, and unlike the others who joined the last battle, he just stayed quietly with his wives, leaving all the last fights to others.
Moreover, unlike others who died early due to awakening the "Demon Slayer Marks," Tengen didn't have such a mark, so he should have died due to old age, and before he died, he lived a lovey-dovey life with his wives.
Yet, his wives told Isao that Tengen had died.
Still, while Isao was confused, Tengen had died, and this fact didn't change. Frankly, he didn't feel anything since they didn't have much of a connection, and Tengen even antagonized him, so he couldn't feel sad.
However, as a good person, Isao felt sad about Tengen's three wives since they had become young widows due to the death of their husbands.
Still, as Tengen had decided to become the Demon Slayer Corps, he should have prepared for this day.
At the same time, Isao felt confused by the purpose of the three beautiful young widows that came to his house.
"I see... that's a shame. He is a powerful man, after all..."
Even if Isao didn't think so and had even defeated Tengen easily, he still needed to say so regardless. He wasn't a bad guy anymore, and as a good person, he needed to think about the feelings of others, especially when those three widows had just lost their husbands.
"You don't need to feel sorry for us. He has decided to become a Demon Slayer and expects something like this to happen in the future."
Hinatsuru, the calmest among the three, said those words while facing Isao. She might appear normal, but it was because she had cried before, and unlike the others, she didn't let herself be swallowed by the sadness. Still, even if she was sad, she had to force herself since there was something that she had to do.
"You can't say that." Isao shook his head and said, "Whatever the situation is, whether you are prepared or not, losing someone important to us is hurt. There is no need to pretend that everything is okay. Instead of holding yourself, you should release your emotions rather than burying them deep since they might affect you, especially when you have something that you want to achieve, right?"
Those words broke their defense, and the three cried together while hugging each other.
Isao felt that it was quite noisy, but he held it since, as a good person, he had to be patient. Still, he wondered whether the plot had changed due to him.
'Well, it doesn't matter.'
Unlike the protagonist, who would become stronger as they were challenged with impossibility, Isao had already become strong, especially when he had absorbed the DNA of many unique animals within him. While it was true that he spent a lovey-dovey day with Amane, the wife of Kagaya, he had become stronger than ever.
"So, why are you all here?"
When the three had stopped crying and calmed themselves, Shinobu asked with confusion.
Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma took a deep breath and then kowtowed toward Isao once again.
"We'll do anything! Please help us to avenge Tengen-sama!" 3x
The three begged once again.
However, Isao's lips twitched, wondering why this plot was quite similar.
