Chapter 101: Warm tea kills evil spirits
---
"A presumptuous question?" Aoki said. "Please go ahead, head of the Ubuyashiki family."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya said seriously, "Mr. Aomura, have you overcome the sunlight?"
"No," Aoki shook his head. He thought it was a sensitive topic. In fact, the sunlight is no longer a threat to him now. Of course, this does not mean that sunlight cannot kill him, but even if he is forced to be exposed to sunlight, he can enter another space to hide without worrying about his life. Especially now that the "space shuttle" is strengthened and has become an instinct. As long as he is conscious, no one can kill him. If you want to make him lose consciousness, you can refer to other Upper Moons. It is basically an impossible task. Additionally, he has broken through the limit and will not die even if beheaded by a Nichirin sword. The Demon Slayer Corps is no longer a threat to him.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya nodded gently. "In this case, the mission time is still at night."
"Yes," Aoki said. "If you find a demon during the day, you can let the team members handle it themselves, but please leave the two Upper Moons to me."
Kagaya smiled. "Mr. Aomura, don't worry. If we find the Upper Moons, we will notify you as soon as possible!"
To fight the Upper Moons, at least two Hashira are needed. Moreover, there is a high probability of casualties. Especially for one particular Upper Moon, it might require most of the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps to join forces. The Hashira are not afraid of sacrifice. However, why not use better and safer methods?
Kagaya said again, "Mr. Aomura, there is one more thing. Would you like to stay here?"
"Stay here?" Aoki looked at him in surprise.
Kagaya smiled. "Living here, Mr. Aomura, you can receive information as soon as possible, and there will be no need to send it to the Butterfly House. You can also rest assured about your daily needs; we will take care of everything."
Aoki pondered for a while and agreed. Being able to receive information faster really excited him. As for daily needs, it didn't matter. As a demon, he didn't need to eat, drink, or use the bathroom, and his material requirements were extremely low. At most, he just needed to take a bath.
...
Night gradually fell.
"Sister," Shinobu walked into the room and greeted her.
Kanae smiled. "Shinobu, you're here! Come eat quickly"
Shinobu sat down next to her, drank the flavor-enhancing soup first, then picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of golden fried fish. "Sister, it's been a day. Why hasn't Mr. Aomura come back yet?"
Kanae said, "In order to receive information faster, Mr. Aomura will live in the lord's house in the future."
Shinobu was stunned and muttered, "He left without saying a word."
Kanae smiled. "Mr. Aomura didn't say he wouldn't come to the Butterfly House. He still has to guide Kanao. Anyway, with the 'space shuttle,' it's very convenient to travel."
...
At the same time, Aoki received the first piece of information. Ubuyashiki Amane said in a serious tone, "In the northeast direction, the team members sent intelligence and found the traces of a demon."
The wound on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's face had spread to his eyes, and he was completely blind. She had to help with daily chores. "Okay, I'll leave now." Aoki didn't waste any words, greeted the two, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
Amane poured a cup of hot tea for Kagaya. "I hope everything goes well."
"Don't worry. With Mr. Aomura taking action, there will be no problem"Kagaya tasted a sip of tea. Although his condition was getting worse, he had been in a very good mood recently. The Upper Moons died one after another, and he could feel that they were getting closer and closer to defeating Muzan Kibutsuji. The dream that had lasted for thousands of years finally had the possibility of realization in his generation.
...
Two team members lay motionless in the grass, watching a demon feasting below. Blood was everywhere, and the scene was very bloody. One of the young men with short hair whispered, "When will the support arrive?"
"They said it will be very soon"
"How soon is very soon?" His companion did not speak. After a while, the young man with short hair gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we go? By the time the reinforcements arrive, the demon may have already escaped"
The companion was a little hesitant. Their mission was to report the demon's traces immediately after discovering them, without engaging themselves. It was originally carried out according to plan, but the demon had suddenly appeared unexpectedly.
"No! I can't stand it anymore!" The young man with short hair was about to get up when the demon below suddenly put down the corpse in his hand, stood up, and looked up at the sky. "Exposed?" The two were startled, and their expressions became firm, ready to strike first. Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky. With a puff, they didn't see what happened clearly, and the demon's head exploded like a watermelon.
A tall black-haired young man stood where the demon was before, with a pair of huge black wings behind him, exuding an unfathomable aura. Strong fear swept through their bodies, and they both swallowed hard, their bodies frozen, not daring to move.
[Kill a demon and gain 1 experience point.]
Aoki: "..."
Okay, at least it was not a wasted trip. In addition to experience, he could feel that there were some things accumulated, which should be attribute points and skill points.
Turning off the system, Aoki looked towards the hillside next to him. The two people were lying there, and they could vaguely see that they were wearing Demon Slayer uniforms. They should be the members who were delivering the information. Aoki nodded towards the two of them, without contacting them, and disappeared into thin air.
After a while, the two of them got up. "Just now, what was that?" The short-haired young man swallowed. He still felt that his legs were weak. Especially when the other party looked towards them, they almost couldn't control their sphincter. This has nothing to do with courage. The absolutely crushing and superior aura made his body tremble instinctively.
The companion was silent for a long time and said uncertainly, "Could it be reinforcements?"
"Reinforcements?" The short-haired young man subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly stopped. The demon was indeed dead. The other party didn't hurt them either. Before leaving, he seemed to take the initiative to say hello to them, and his attitude was very friendly. It seemed, maybe, as if reinforcements were actually possible. The two looked at each other. After a while, the short-haired young man shook his head. "Forget it. As long as the demon is dead, let's go, let's go and finish it off." His companion didn't think much about it. The two of them walked down together.
Demon Slayer Squad. Aoki's figure suddenly appeared. Kagaya heard the sound, picked up the cup, and put it down again. "Mr. Aomura? Are you back?"
Aoki nodded, then realized he couldn't see and said, "The demon has been dealt with."
Kagaya sighed. "Mr. Aomura's efficiency is really amazing." Amane looked at the cup next to her. In the cup was the tea she poured when Mr. Aomura left, and it was still steaming.
Aoki explained, "This demon was relatively weak, and when I arrived, it had already appeared, so I didn't spend any more time looking for it."
"Only Mr. Aomura can arrive so quickly." Kagaya sighed. Just as Aoki was about to say something, he stopped and turned to look outside. "I'm leaving for a while" As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the room.
"Did someone activate the spatial imprint?" Kagaya thought thoughtfully and picked up the cup. At this moment, Aoki's figure appeared again. "This demon was stronger than the last one."
A full 3 points of experience.
Kagaya felt the temperature of the cup in his hand and smiled warmly.
