Chapter 40 - Kanroji Mitsuri

After Shun moved to the Butterfly Mansion, he finally enjoyed a relaxed life for a few days.

He practiced Sun Breathing every day, drank tea, snacked, and flirted with the little girls in the Butterfly Mansion, and it was very enjoyable.

Of course, it would have been better if there weren't any serious younger sisters causing trouble while flirting with Kanae.

Shun initially liked to eat rice bowls, wanting to guide the softest and kindest Kanae.

However, Shinobu was very curious about him and always wanted to be close to him.

As a result, Shun's strategic plans were repeatedly hindered.

In the end, Shun encountered many problems and imparted a little knowledge about medicine from his past life to her, and then he let Shinobu quietly stay in the pharmacy for the last two days.

Seeing the beautiful sky, Shun thought to take this opportunity to find Kanae.

"Takema-sama, Haganezuka Hotaru from the Swordsmith Village is here! Please go to the Rengoku family home!"

The voice of a Demon Slayer Corps member interrupted Shun's plans.

Even though a regular sword could also kill demons, since the Demon Slayer Corps was here, Shun might also get a better Nichirin Sword.

The Demon Slayer Corps always collaborated with the Swordsmith Village. The swordsmiths in this village were not only responsible for forging and maintaining all the Nichirin Swords for the Demon Slayer Corps but also put a lot of enthusiasm and sense of community into forging swords. Generations of people had learned and forged Nichirin Swords, making the sword-forging expertise advance year by year.

Each member of the Demon Slayer Corps had a swordsmith who specifically crafted a Nichirin Sword for them. To prevent attacks from demons, the location of the Swordsmith Village was also very hidden. One even needed to be blindfolded to enter the village. Some people responsible for guarding the path would lead step by step, often changing direction with crows. Its concealment was comparable to the Ubayashiki family's home.

At least in terms of making Nichirin Swords, the swordsmiths in the Swordsmith Village were clearly the best in the world of Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Moreover, the Nichirin Swords made from Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore that absorbs sunlight.

Therefore, Shun believed that Nichirin Swords made from these materials had a great possibility of killing demons in the world where their spiritual energy was revived.

After all, it was the Demon Slayer Corps that paid for it. If everything went well, Shun planned to adjust one or two hundred Nichirin Swords to take back before leaving.

After all, Muzan would die by then, and keeping them would be pointless if they were taken back and used again.

Shun arrived at the Rengoku family home and spoke briefly with Haganezuka. The latter forged a Nichirin Sword with a thin blade according to his customs and requirements, promising it would be completed in a week.

As Shun was about to return and prepare to suppress Shinobu in a certain way, a figure from the Rengoku family's martial arts training area appeared before him.

She had a pair of large leaf-green eyes, often flushed cheeks, and a mole under each eye. She had three long cherry-pink braids with grass-green tips. Wearing a snow-white haori, her open-chested team uniform and short skirt were very eye-catching, and the green-striped stockings accentuated the girl's beautiful legs.

Seeing the girl swinging her sword vigorously as the figure moved, Shun suddenly felt that his rice bowl could be put back first.

He stepped forward decisively.

"Did you create your own Breathing Technique?"

"Ah!"

Shun's sudden appearance and words startled Kanroji Mitsuri. Upon seeing his handsome face, she immediately blushed.

"Yes, recently I wanted to improve a Breathing Technique that suited me."

Hearing Mitsuri speak in a low voice, Shun knew something was happening!

Unlike others with blood feuds, Mitsuri chose to join the Demon Slayer Corps to find a man who could accept her true self. She also wanted to find a good husband in a team stronger than herself who could protect her.

Yes, she came here to find a husband.

When Mitsuri was little, she lifted a 15-kilogram stone out of greed, which shocked her mother. She had shown extraordinary strength and appetite since she was young. She even ate more than three sumo wrestlers.

The special color of her hair and eyes was because she loved eating sakura mochi so much that she consumed 170 pieces in eight months, causing her originally black hair to turn pink.

When Mitsuri reached the age of 17 to marry, at a blind date party, because of her large appetite and strange hair color, her date not only rejected her but even said sarcastically: Only a bear or a pig could marry you.

This deeply hurt Mitsuri, and she realized that she was very different.

Gradually, she, who was once cheerful and confident, turned into a girl who feared the gaze of others. So she dyed her hair black, went on a diet for several days until she nearly fainted, and went on another blind date. Because she almost fainted from hunger, her sad appearance managed to capture the heart of a man.

However, at this moment, Mitsuri kept thinking: "Do I want to continue like this? Is this really me? I eat a lot, have great strength, and have strange hair color. This is my true self. Is there a place for me in this world? No one will love my true self?"

In the end, Mitsuri decided to be herself, so she joined the Demon Slayer Corps to find a husband stronger than herself who could protect her.

Her criteria were very simple:

One: Able to accept her large appetite.

Two: She didn't mind how strong the other party was.

Three: Accept her true self and become stronger than her!

No need for a house, no need for a car, no need to add name, no need for engagement gifts, just three simple and humble conditions.

As long as satisfied and willing to take the initiative to pursue, the strategy could be accomplished.

Moreover, Mitsuri was just an ordinary little girl with a cheerful personality. If a handsome man could say sweet words, he might be able to complete the level in 'easy mode.'

"Do you need my help?"

Shun looked at her with a sincere face.

"Really? Takema-sama!"

"Huh? Do you know me?"

"Well, Rengoku-san often says that Takema-sama is a very strong swordsman. He has defeated several Hashira before!"

Talking about this, Mitsuri's eyes sparkled.

The man in front of her seemed to meet her criteria for choosing a husband.

She just didn't know if the other party would know her true situation...

"It would be easier if you got to know me."

Shun seemed to want to show something, and he immediately said:

"I just observed that your strength is very strong, almost several times that of an ordinary person. Even among the Hashira, you are very powerful. Therefore, you can improve your flexibility and agility compared to attacking."

"What does Takema-sama mean... Eh?!"

Mitsuri looked at him in surprise. At this moment, Shun still looked serious and was analyzing seriously.

"Takema-sama sees it! How embarrassing…"

"What happened?"

Shun blinked and asked:

"Isn't it better to become stronger? I think that's good. It would be better to look for a wife who is stronger in the future. Both of you could compete with each other in swordsmanship over time, and train more postures, how interesting."

Mitsuri's eyes immediately sparkled, and her level of fondness increased significantly!

"Well then… Takema-sama, what do you think about a girl with a large appetite?"

"It's nothing. It's not that I can't afford it. As long as your body shape doesn't change, it's fine if you eat too much. I really like beautiful girls who are food lovers."

Kanroji Mitsuri's level of fondness RISE↑↑↑

"What's wrong? Kanroji? Why is your face so red?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Mitsuri gathered her courage and said loudly:

"Mhm, if you don't mind, just call me by my name."

"Well then, please give me your advice in the future, Mitsuri."

"Yes! Please give me advice!"
