"Mr. Li, I want to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Will you support me?" asked Kanae Kocho, looking at the moon in the sky.
Li Mo asked: "Why?"
"I just thought that maybe at this moment, there will be other people in other places who are harmed by ghosts. I feel sad, both for the victims and for the ghosts. It's like this." said Kanae Kocho.
She is a delicate and gentle person. Such people often judge others by themselves, understand others' difficulties and tolerate others' mistakes.
She is a good person.
Good people are the most vulnerable.
"Kanae-san, in the eyes of demons, humans are just food. Fighting them is very dangerous. I don't recommend that you, a girl, join the Demon Slayer Corps. Compared to boys, girls are too weak."
Butterfly Chanae said: "Ah~~~ I thought Li Sang would support me?"
Li Mo said: "You are suitable to find a good husband to marry. Instead of fighting and killing, isn't it better to be a Yamato Nadeshiko?"
In the original story, Kanae Kocho joined the Demon Slayer Corps and became a "Pillar", but ended up dying at the hands of the Second Upper Moon.
"Mr. Li, you are joking. Forget about me getting married. But for Xiaonin, it would be great if I could see her get married in my lifetime."
"Her choice should be the same as yours."
Butterfly Kanae lowered her head and immediately smiled proudly: "That's my sister. Li-san, you will join the Demon Slayer Corps too, right?"
"Of course, if a genius like me doesn't join the Demon Slayer Corps, it will be a loss for the Demon Slayer Corps."
"You're so narcissistic, Li-san. But I don't hate you." Kocho Kanae said, "Well, please wait for me in the Demon Slayer Corps, Li-san. How about that?"
"Will we fight side by side in the future? But I would rather make all members of the Demon Slayer Corps unemployed before that day comes."
As long as all the demons are killed, there is no need for the Demon Slayer Corps to exist. Just like in the original world line, Muzan Kibutsuji died and the Demon Slayer Corps was disbanded by the Ubuyashiki family.
Butterfly Chanae said: "I will cheer for Lee-san, but I think it will be difficult."
"I'll be waiting for you."
"Then it's a deal."
Butterfly Kanae stretched out her little finger.
With the help of moonlight, Li Mo reached an agreement with the girl again.
Chapter 24: Chains of Sorrow
"What did you and my sister say?"
Tonight was destined to be a turbulent night. Not long after seeing off Butterfly Chanae, Li Mo welcomed the second visitor.
Shinobu Kocho stood right in front of him. The height difference between them made Li Mo need to lower his head to look at her.
"You look very bad."
"None of your business! You just need to answer my questions!" Shinobu Kocho said stubbornly, biting her lower lip.
This day was her darkest day.
My parents passed away one after another, and suddenly I was left with only my sister and I to depend on each other. Is there anything more painful than this?
"What a stubborn child. Why don't you try crying? You will feel much better." Li Mo gently patted Shinobu Kocho's head.
Shinobu Kocho didn't slap Li Mo's hand. She just lowered her voice and said, "I just want to know the answer, so... Li Sang, what topic did my sister talk to you about?"
"Really, Shinobu Kocho. Aren't you strong?"
"If you say that again, I'll cry in front of you." Shinobu Kocho threatened.
Li Mo raised his hands and gave a standard French military salute: "I surrender, what a difficult child. Okay, I'll say it. Kanae-san is asking if I support her joining the Demon Slayer Corps..."
"Demon Slayer Corps, huh? I want to join the Demon Slayer Corps too."
"Shinobu Kocho, I don't want you to join the Demon Slayer Corps. You are too weak." Li Mo told the cruel truth.
Shinobu Kocho will be the only member of the Demon Slayer Corps who cannot chop off the heads of demons in the future because she is too weak.
She is simply not suitable to be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Shinobu Kocho asked: "Do you want to join the Demon Slayer Corps?"
"meeting."
"Then I want to join the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Ah, this...are you too stubborn, kid? Do you want me to tell you the truth? Do you really have to hold others back?"
"The Demon Slayer Corps has a selection mechanism. Becoming a member of the Corps means that I will not be held back by others. Secondly, I don't think the method of killing demons is only the Nichirin sword. If they are living creatures, then they can be poisoned."
Li Mo was surprised and said, "You even know this? Did you know it from Yin? It seems you have a big mouth."
"So, do you support it?"
"It's already said to this extent, it seems that I have to support you. After all, your legs are on your own body, and there is nothing I can do if you run to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Really, you and your sister are the same. You have made a decision in your heart, why do you come to ask for my opinion." Li Mo showed a distressed expression. This pair of sisters, one looks gentle and the other irritable, but they are the same in their bones. If you insist on something, you will not waver.
Li Mo immediately smiled and gave Shinobu Kocho a thumbs up, "However, I will try to kill all the demons before you become a formal member."
"Did you say the same thing to my sister?"
"Yes?"
Then, Li Mo suddenly felt that Kocho Shinobu's expression had become even more unhappy. Alas, her expression should always be this unhappy. Could it be that because he always teased her, it started to backfire?
"I want to thank you for what happened today. Secondly, I know you are doing this for my own good, but no matter how dangerous it is, I will join the Demon Slayer Corps."
Just like you and your sister. She couldn't say this out loud, she only dared to say it in her heart.
As Shinobu Kocho said this, she looked down and could see the bloody bandage. The bloody, cruel scene happened just an hour or two ago, how could she forget it.
She also wanted to escape, but when she thought of the image of her parents lying in a pool of blood, deep sadness came over her heart.
——Why do ghosts exist in this world?
Whenever she thought of this, anger would arise after sadness. She felt that there was an image of the Mingwang in her body.
and so……
She wants a world where ghosts don't exist.
"You are such a stubborn little devil. I don't care about you anymore. Anyway, I have made my attitude clear." Li Mo said, "I will try to make devils become history before you become a soldier."
"Anyway, I think the time is long enough. It's enough to take it slow."
Shinobu Kocho felt the veins on her forehead popping out, "You really think it will take a long time for me to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"
"Yes." Li Mo nodded sincerely.
Looking at the innocent face of Li Mo, Hu Die Ren took a long breath. How come this man, who was many years older than her, could always accurately hit the spots that she hated?
Shinobu Kocho said, "I'm too lazy to be angry with you. I have one last thing to do."
"About what I said this afternoon. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have misunderstood you."
This morning, Li Mo said that he had fought with wild beasts in the mountains all night. She didn't believe it, because she only saw dirt and dust on his body, but no blood. For this reason, she thought he was a boaster, but now she saw that she was completely wrong.
He was not fighting a beast, but a ghost.
A ghost that turns to ashes when exposed to sunlight, leaving no trace at all.
"It's okay, I won't be angry."
"I still want to apologize. I was wrong. Okay, that's it. I'm leaving. So that I won't be mad at you for talking to me again!"
Shinobu Kocho left.
But before leaving, she said, "In addition, I allow Li Sang to tell me to endure like my sister does."
After leaving these words, she left completely.
Li Mo touched his chin and smiled.
……
Later, Shinobu Kocho went to take a bath, and the warm water wrapped around her body, which made her feel much calmer. When she came out, she saw her sister standing at the door.
Butterfly Chanahui, wearing a bathrobe, said, "Shinobu, how about you sleeping with me today?"
Shinobu Kocho followed her sister and responded, "Okay."
"Shinobu, please take good care of your sister tonight, or I will have a nightmare."
Shinobu Kocho looked at the smile on her sister's face. Did she still have the heart to joke at this moment? Sister, what are you thinking about?
Immediately, Shinobu Kocho felt a small tap on her forehead.
"Xiao Shinobu, you should always look up. Now try to smile more. I think father and mother don't want to see us crying."
"Oh."
"Shinobu, don't be so cold. Did my sister say something wrong?"
While chatting, the two came to the bedroom. After tidying up the quilt for the extra person to sleep on, the two sisters went to bed together without much movement. It was already very late, and under normal circumstances, the two sisters didn't know how many hours they slept.
But there is still one step to true sleep.
——Whisper session.
"Shinobu, have all the people from the Demon Slayer Corps been arranged?"
"Well, they're all asleep."
"Thanks to them, the main hall was cleaned up so cleanly this time."
In the darkness, Butterfly Kanae spoke.
With the arrival of Mr. Xingming from the island of grief, and the help of "Yin", the bodies of the parents were temporarily collected, waiting for the two sisters to slowly deal with the aftermath.
Shinobu Kocho asked: "Sister, I want to join the Demon Slayer Corps."
"I know, Shinobu. We should join the Demon Slayer Corps together and save people like us."
"it is good."
In the darkness, the two sisters exchanged their ideas for the future. Join the Demon Slayer Corps, master the method of killing demons, and then go kill demons.
Man-eating ghosts are pathetic. But they are also hated. Their existence will only make pain and sadness continue. Butterfly Kanae doesn't like this.
The chains of sadness need someone to break.
