After they finished dinner, Tanjiro and Nezuko helped wash the plates.
Mitsuri wanted to join in but accidentally broke a plate and had to stop with a helpless look.
Aoi thanked them gratefully for the help.
Because Yoru-san was old, she only assisted the little ones and could not stand for long.
Aoi had been handling the cleaning and washing duties since arriving at the Butterfly Mansion.
Though Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho were always ready to lend a hand. Sometimes even quiet Kanao helped without a word.
The arrival of the Kamado family had honestly eased some burden off Aoi's shoulders.
Nezuko, Takeo, Shigeru, and Hanako provided assistance whenever needed, as they were going to live in the mansion from now on. Perhaps also because Tanjiro had instructed them to behave accordingly.
Once the work was done, Tanjiro went to the sleeping hall where his siblings were to rest. The room was quite spacious, so all five of them could fit and sleep comfortably.
As their big brother, he stayed with them until bedtime.
Even Mitsuri was there to spend time with them, despite her body still aching slightly from the training.
Meanwhile, Kanae had long since disappeared to Shinobu's side. That ghost had no needs like eating, excreting, or sleeping, so she could only get used to spending most of the night alone while everyone slept.
Tanjiro understood that. That was why he wanted to resolve her issue as soon as possible—finding a perfect body for Kanae to possess.
Her matter aside, there was something else confusing him.
'Why the fuck hasn't a single mission popped up since this morning?'
Although deeply pissed, he had his own doubts.
Was there a limit to the number of missions per day?
Like how he had not received any mission from Mitsuri because of the damned Sex Mission he got right after meeting her. The same seemed true with Shinobu now.
'…Hmm.'
Despite conversing with others, he easily recalled today's memories and realized he had already received four missions—two from Shinobu and one each from Aoi and Kanao.
This got him thinking.
'I received three missions on the first day and two yesterday…'
Although he tried to find patterns or answers, he simply couldn't.
'Weird as fuck system… I should stop trying to make sense of it… FUCK…!'
Sure, it was wasteful if he couldn't control his own cheat as he wanted, but so what.
There were many possibilities out there.
Muzan had lived for over a thousand years as an apex predator.
Though he couldn't step out under the sun.
During the night, nobody was his equal.
There had been only one person capable of ending him, but he too died of old age in the end.
And now, Tanjiro was here.
He possessed absolute strength unlike any other human currently alive, capable of ending several demons alone. Honestly, he didn't even need the Heavenly Demon Sword, his ace.
So what if that fraud demon refused to show himself?
If Tanjiro truly got serious, all he had to do was research demon cells and turn himself immortal too.
Had to eat humans? Not necessarily. Even Tamayo had survived five hundred years consuming only blood and nothing else.
Afraid of burning under the sun?
What a joke.
He was Kamado Tanjiro, who had conquered the sun in seconds after becoming a demon.
What about the current him?
To put it bluntly, he was much stronger than every Demon Slayer combined who had participated in the Infinity Castle.
Mastery over swordsmanship, Total Concentration Breathing, Transparent World, Selfless State, and deep-seated battle experience were enough to beat anyone. Now he had Bone Tempering, Self-healing, Senzu Beans, and an unbreakable overpowered sword that could devour demons.
There was nothing he truly feared at this point.
Not to mention, his unreliable system was still there to provide rewards in the future.
So what if he had to mate with multiple women?
He had already planned on doing so from the start.
Though he still had his own values and lines he would not cross.
An hour or so later.
Tanjiro turned off the lights. "Alright, you guys. Close your eyes—it's time to sleep…" he said softly to his siblings, who were already tucked under the futon.
"Goodnight~ Onii-chan!" came their warm voices filled with love.
"Goodnight." He responded with a smile and quietly closed the door.
Next, Tanjiro looked at the sleeping woman in his arms and chuckled inwardly.
'Good grief, girl… You're too careless.'
Her robe had loosened, leaving most of her cleavage visible.
Even though he tried not to notice, his powerful senses worked on their own.
His growing body, full of raging hormones, pressed against her soft skin and curves. He would have been fully aroused if not for his absolute control over body and mind.
Releasing a frustrated sigh, he carried her to her room and gently laid her on the bed, pulling the blanket properly over her.
He stared at her innocent sleeping face for a moment and couldn't help mumbling. "If only you'd told the truth this morning… Ha."
She was deep asleep—he could tell from her quiet, steady breathing.
'It's not some rom-com anime. Of course she's out cold…'
He briefly caressed her head and hair, then turned off the lights and left the room.
….
'Kanae is still out there… huh.' He noticed.
She hadn't returned and would likely stay with Shinobu for the night.
'I rested enough earlier, so I don't feel like sleeping now… I guess I'll stay awake in the laboratory then. I can either deepen my knowledge or pester Shinobu, hmm…'
Deciding that, he entered his own room.
Kie, lying on the bed, had noticed his presence long ago. She turned to look at him, her expression sad and mouth tightly shut. "Tanjiro… Too late."
Tanjiro showed a helpless smile. "Sorry."
She hummed softly, still lying on her back carelessly.
The blood droplets in her purple eyes that surrounded her pupils glowed with a vibrant light. Her fangs were visible whenever she opened her mouth. With her hair shifting from black to red and the curved features of her pale, mature body dressed in a thin lavender robe, Tanjiro had to avert his eyes regularly or he would be in deep trouble.
'Bloody hell, she's too attractive…' he cursed inwardly.
From the original Tanjiro's memories, he had learned a blood-boiling secret about his mother.
She was a big pervert.
Never judge a book by its cover. The saying was absolutely true.
Behind her gentle and warm nature, she had deep lust that she hid and only released during late nights.
Back then, poor little Tanjiro had caught her multiple times with his weak and sickly father because of his acute sense of smell. Since he was young and had no idea what the act even was, his immature brain had deemed it completely normal until he was eleven and got enlightened by the village kids.
By then, his father had grown too sick to do charcoal work without his help.
Because of that, his mother had remained unsatisfied and exuded that uncanny scent everywhere. He could recognize it immediately.
It was even stronger after baths when she pleasured herself thoroughly.
The original Tanjiro could only endure it awkwardly and remain silent. That was just how he was.
But the current him was different.
He licked his lips in anticipation for the future and controlled himself for now.
Afterward, he pulled out a small pot from within his robe and smiled warmly at Kie. "Time to feed you, Mother…"
Hearing his words, Kie looked at the pot curiously.
