Demon Slayer: You call paying to get stronger "lightning"?

"It's alright, it's his loss if he doesn't like you. My dear daughter is so wonderful, she'll definitely find someone who truly loves you!"

After saying that, he looked at Ryosuke and the other man and thanked them solemnly.

"Thank you so much, gentlemen, for taking care of my daughter. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Kyojuro's voice was firm: "No need to be polite! It's only right to stand up for what's right! Miss Kanroji did nothing wrong!"

Mitsuri arrived home safely, and the two prepared to leave.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Mi Li's eyes.

"Um, Mr. Purgatory, can we still have meals together in the future?"

Kyojuro smiled broadly and agreed without hesitation.

"No problem! We'll be in this area for a while, I'll call you when we have lunch."

Mitsuri nodded happily.

After saying goodbye to the Kanroji family, Ryosuke and his companion began their investigation and cleanup based on the clues.

Over the next few days, the two cleared away some wandering evil spirits.

But these ghosts are not very strong.

Let alone Ryosuke, even Kyojuro, with his current strength as a Class A swordsman, could handle it with ease on his own.

Such a demanding task could not possibly have made Yaozai so concerned.

After killing a demon lurking in an abandoned house, Kyojuro couldn't help but speak.

“Mr. Ryosuke, the ghosts here are not enough to warrant the Lord’s dispatch of you and me. Now the clues seem to have gone cold. What should we do next?”

Ryosuke crossed his arms and smiled faintly.

"Of course, we should let them say it themselves."

Kyojuro asked, puzzled, "Would a demon honestly reveal information?"

"of course not."

Ryosuke flexed his wrist: "We'll need some special methods."

These little bread rolls were human before they became ghosts, retaining human emotions and perceptions.

Thanks to their powerful regenerative abilities, you can torture them without any restraint.

In a short while, the two captured a demon alive.

At this moment, the evil spirit huddled in a dark corner, trembling.

Who in the family understands?

I just went out for a stroll, and somehow I ran into that legendary perverted Naruto!

Moreover, the owl beside him is not to be trifled with.

Little bread, I'm a bit dead~

Ryosuke smiled kindly and stomped on the demon's shinbone, breaking it.

"Uhhhhh-!"

The evil spirit screamed in agony.

"Stop howling, you're not going to die."

Ryosuke picked at his ear: "I have a question for you. Have any powerful demons appeared in this area recently?"

The demon grimaced in pain, cold sweat pouring down its face.

"No, no! I'm just a nobody, how could I possibly have any contact with such important people!"

Ryosuke pursed his lips and took out a small knife, playing with it between his fingers.

"I know you guys have strong regenerative abilities; even severed limbs can grow back. I see you're a man, so I won't make things difficult for you..."

Ryosuke paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"I'll castrate you in a bit, and then I'll castrate you again when it grows back. Anyway, I have plenty of time to play with you. I've been itching to practice my knife skills lately."

Anjuro:? ? ?

Kyojuro's lips twitched violently.

No... huh?!

Is this something a human being could say?!

Mr. Ryosuke, you're such a pervert!

Ryosuke's expression remained unchanged, but his tone turned cold.

"My patience is limited. If you had told me sooner, you would have suffered less."

The demon hugged its legs and shrank back, crying out in a sob, "I really don't know, sir!"

Without wasting words, Ryosuke dislocated both of his legs, and the throwing knife in his hand fell with a cold glint.

Blood splattered everywhere, and everything was destroyed!

Anjuro:! ! !

It is well known that men share certain pain sensations.

Kyojuro's body trembled, and he subconsciously looked away.

Ryosuke drew his sword and repeated the action four times.

The evil spirit cried out, tears streaming down its face.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! It's Lord Pedro, Lower Moon Two!"

"He's been active in this area recently and has eaten a lot of people!"

"But he left a few days ago! Really! I wouldn't lie to you! Please, just give me a quick death!"

Chapter 141 A Strong Yet Gentle Man

Upon hearing this name, Kyojuro's face was filled with complex emotions.

Back then, when Makijuro was on a mission, he was drunk and fought with Pero, but failed to kill him and he escaped.

Ultimately, it was Makijuro's dereliction of duty as the Flame Pillar.

Meanwhile, Pero endured humiliation and hardship, biding his time and gradually building his strength to reach the Lower Moon Two.

That's exactly the same as the original work.

Although Kyojuro looks similar to Makijuro and has a similarly bold personality, their core personalities are completely different.

Kyojuro was more resilient and meticulous than him.

This also stems from the ideas that Lady Ruka instilled in him from a young age.

It is a respect and understanding of the essence of life, as well as the correct use and recognition of one's own power.

In his eyes, humans are lovable and noble precisely because their lives are short, and they age and die.

A powerful talent is meant to protect the weak, not to harm oneself.

This is precisely why Kyojuro finds it difficult to forgive Makijuro's past mistakes.

He could not tolerate the evil left behind by his own family continuing to harm humanity.

After casually chopping up a small bread roll, Ryosuke patted Kyojuro on the shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself too much."

Ryosuke gently comforted him, "You didn't have the ability to make up for anything back then, but you can now."

"Yes, Mr. Ryosuke!"

Kyojuro nodded emphatically, gripping the hilt of his Nichirin Blade tightly with his right hand.

"If you find out the exact whereabouts of this evil spirit, please let me know as soon as possible!"

"It's natural."

In the original story, this was Kyojuro's true promotion battle to take over the position of Flame Pillar.

All grudges and entanglements, the fickle nature of fate, will eventually be annihilated in the blazing flames.

In the next few days,

After cleaning up the surrounding bread rolls and failing to find Pei Lang, the two decided to return to report.

After all, this wolf is playing the jungle role, and its whereabouts are even more elusive than Doma's.

As long as he doesn't show himself, apart from the scoundrel Muzan, no one or no demon can find him.

On the morning of the day of parting, Kyojuro left early.

He obtained the list and addresses of the missing family members from the local authorities.

Kyojuro did not make a big show of visiting each household.

Instead, they secretly placed the money they had prepared in advance, along with some non-perishable food and daily necessities, in front of their door.

He moved quietly, put down his things, and left quickly, leaving behind only a small amount of comfort.

Kyojuro also asked Hidden to look after and help these families to the best of his ability, with the money provided by the Rengoku family.

"A strong yet gentle man..."

Ryosuke watched from a distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This kind of kindness and sense of responsibility, ingrained in one's very being, is far more moving than mere force.

Just as Ryosuke was lost in thought, light footsteps came from behind him.

Immediately, his shoulder was gently tapped.

Ryosuke turned around and saw Kanroji Mitsuri's bright smile.

She wore a light cherry blossom-colored kimono today, which matched her hair color perfectly.
