Chapter 103: Kanroji Mitsuri's reaction
---
"On the first day after Mr. Aomura left, Shinobu arrived at Azabu to investigate the demon problem.
Shinobu is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, one year younger than me, but very powerful!
Through her introduction, I also joined the Demon Slayer Corps, learned breathing techniques from Mr. Rengoku, and finally passed the final selection…"
Mitsuri pulled Aoki and chattered about her experiences.
Aoki listened quietly and chimed in from time to time.
"Mr. Aomura, what about you?" Mitsuri suddenly asked.
"Me?"
Aoki said, "As I said at the beginning, I basically wander around killing demons."
"It turns out that Mr. Aomura is also killing demons. Shinobu said that Mr. Aomura was not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps…"
As Mitsuri spoke, her voice gradually became softer, and her face turned serious.
"Have you finally discovered it?" Aoki said nothing and looked at her quietly.
"Ah!"
Mitsuri suddenly jumped up. "Mr. Aomura, why did you, you, you become a demon?"
Aoki smiled. "It's not that I turned into a demon. I was originally a demon, at least when we first met."
Mitsuri was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
No wonder Mr. Aomura gave her a strange feeling when they first met. At that time, she didn't know where the strange feeling came from.
Now she finally understood.
"Miss Kanroji, actually I…"
Aoki was ready to reveal his identity. When they parted, he thought about whether they would become enemies if they met again. However, after he reached a cooperation with the Demon Slayer Corps, this worry no longer existed. He had no intention of testing human nature, nor did he want to embarrass Mitsuri.
However, Mitsuri didn't hear his words at all and turned around anxiously.
"What to do? What to do? What to do?"
She scratched her beautiful hair. "Mr. Aomura, how about we run away?"
Aoki was stunned. "Run Away? Where to go?"
"Anywhere is fine! It's best to leave Tokyo and leave this country!"
Mitsuri sounded anxious. "I heard that the world is very big, and the country we are in is just an insignificant corner of this world! As long as you escape from here, you don't have to worry about being chased by the Demon Slayers!"
A smile appeared on Aoki's face. "I'm a demon, aren't you going to kill me?"
Mitsuri asked, "Have you ever eaten anyone?"
"No."
"Then have you ever killed innocent people?"
"I have killed many people, but none of them were innocent."
"Then why should I kill Mr. Aomura?" Mitsuri's expression and tone were very serious.
Aoki smiled and said, "I said it, do you believe it?"
Mitsuri said, "Mr. Aomura has saved so many girls. Although he has the aura of demons, he doesn't have the smell of decay. Moreover, he is also very handsome. I believe Mr. Aomura is not a bad person"
"It's okay not to mention the last reason."
Aoki laughed and shook his head, opening his arms. "However, thank you, Miss Kanroji, for your trust. Look at me again"
Mitsuri was a little confused, but soon her eyes widened. "Team uniform? Mr. Aomura, why are you wearing the Demon Slayer uniform too?"
Aoki explained, "Actually, I have reached a cooperation with the Demon Slayer Corps. Do you remember that wooden token?"
"Wooden token?" Kanroji Mitsuri quickly remembered. "The one I broke?"
Aoki nodded. "That's what I made."
"It turns out Mr. Aomura is the helper."
Mitsuri completely understood, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes shining slightly. "Great, this way we don't have to run away! Wow, wow, wow, I thought we would be chased by the Demon Slayers!"
Aoki thought for a while and asked, "Miss Kanroji, what happened to Azabu after I left? How is the Aoki Dojo? How did things develop?"
He never returned to Azabu, but he never forgot the situation there.
Mitsuri was quite familiar with her hometown, including the situation at Aoki Dojo.
"Because Mr. Aomura destroyed the demon, Miss Mizuno Taeko returned to Aoki Dojo safely. Later, many policemen came to Aoki Dojo to inquire about Mr. Aomura. The business of the dojo was affected to a certain extent, but it soon recovered. About two months later, Mr. Keisuke and Ms. Taeko got married"
"They are already married" Aoki sighed.
The birth and perfection of Aoki-ryu is due to Keisuke. However, the late arrival of the "martial artist" career may also be due to Keisuke. But forget it, the "Martial Artist" level is now maxed out anyway.
"As for Yehime society."
Mitsuri continued, "The incident at Yoshiya Yehime exposed the next day, causing a huge sensation and everyone was filled with indignation. That day, the Yehime society was sealed off, and three days later, all the main members of the Fujita family were arrested and imprisoned. Soon, Fujita Steel collapsed, and a large number of high-ranking government officials were sentenced."
"They deserve it," Aoki said.
Mitsuri whispered, "Actually, it is because Mr. Mizuno Kengo and all the victims and their families united to put pressure; otherwise, those high-ranking officials may not have been punished. And, it is said that even so, some high-ranking prisoners were not affected."
"Not surprising," Aoki said calmly.
There are so many bad things in this world, he has no ability and energy to care.
Mitsuri Kanroji pouted. "Mr. Aomura saved people, good! They protected criminals, bad!"
Aoki laughed and stood up. "It's almost time to go. By the way, Miss Kanroji, do you want to go to the Butterfly Mansion and meet Shinobu Kocho?"
"The Butterfly Mansion? Oh, I know, I know, that is the medical institution opened by Shinobu and her sister, Miss Kanae!"
Mitsuri Kanroji tilted her head. "Mr. Aomura also knows Shinobu?"
"In fact, my first contact with the Demon Slayer Corps was because of Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho."
Aoki briefly talked about how he met the Butterfly sisters and the subsequent development.
"Okay! Then I'm going!" Mitsuri said happily. "After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, I haven't seen Shinobu yet"
Aoki grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go back to the headquarters first and tell the head of the Ubuyashiki family, and then go to the Butterfly Mansion."
Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes widened slightly. "Eh? Wait a minute, the head of the Ubuyashiki family, isn't that…"
Before she finished her words, the two of them suddenly disappeared.
Back at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Aoki greeted Ubuyashiki Kagaya, and then took Mitsuri to the Butterfly Mansion.
