"I was forced, I was forced to obey him! If I disobeyed him, I would be dismembered into eight pieces!"
Sure enough, the first thing she thought of when she encountered danger was to excuse herself. If Rui heard these words, what would happen?
"Oh~ is that so? That's really pitiful. I'm willing to help you, let's get along nicely!" Shinobu Kocho said gently, her tone carrying concern.
In Takeshi's view, she was indeed very gentle, her words carrying genuine concern, but!
Looking down, her feet were stepping on the Demon Sister, and she was squatting on top of her, this style was...
A little off.
"Yo-You're really willing to help me?" The Demon Sister was a little moved.
"Of course I'm willing to help you, Miss, but I want to ask you a few questions, this lovely Miss, how many people have you killed in total?"
The emotions in her eyes were changing, but her voice was still as gentle as ever.
Looking up at the person above her, the Demon Sister said, "Five people." Tears welled up in her eyes, turning her face away. "But that was all under orders, I couldn't help it!"
Her pitiful appearance was as if she had suffered a great deal of grievance.
Takeshi no longer continued to stay here. Since Shinobu Kocho was here, there was no need for him to do anything, he should quickly go find Tanjiro and the others.
That Lower Moon Five, Rui, was probably on Tanjiro's side.
Just as Takeshi had turned to leave a few steps away, he heard the words that Shinobu Kocho said, making him subconsciously stop, and he couldn't help but think, what kind of creature was a woman?
They could be gentle, kind, virtuous, and... like Shinobu Kocho?!!!
"I'm not angry at all~ I'm just confirming, confirming the correct number, in order to have Miss punished, and then we can get along nicely, you know!"
"Pu-Punishment?"
"Having killed so many people, and not being punished, those people won't be able to avenge themselves."
Feeling the fear of the person beneath her, Shinobu Kocho continued to say in a relatively friendly voice, "For example, gouging out your eyes, or cutting open your stomach and pulling out your internal organs, the more people you kill, the more torture I'll have."
"After you endure these punishments, your sins will be forgiven! Let's do our best together!
It's okay, Miss is a demon after all, doing these things won't kill you or have any aftereffects!"
Takeshi's mouth twitched slightly as he listened. Gouging, cutting, these things sounded like she was talking about digging potatoes, cutting radishes?
At this moment, Takeshi couldn't find the right words to describe Shinobu Kocho, but hearing these words too much made his back feel a little cold.
The Demon Sister instantly became angry, only feeling that this woman was playing her, from the moment she had opened her mouth, saying that they should get along nicely, she had been playing her.
Opening her hands, she released a large amount of threads, wanting to wrap this woman up.
Knowing that the Demon Sister was going to attack, and knowing that Shinobu Kocho could handle it, Takeshi still subconsciously turned around to help, his hand just placed on his sword.
In a daze, he seemed to see a group of butterflies flying past the Demon Sister, the butterflies scattering, and Shinobu Kocho landing on the ground, holding her sword.
"Insect Breathing! Butterfly Dance: Caprice."
Just like her breathing technique, "Caprice", from the very beginning when they had met, she had been amusing herself.
Coming from the west, she knew very well how many people the Demon Sister had killed, but she still asked gently.
And her sword didn't directly cut off the Demon Sister's neck, it wasn't that she, as a girl, didn't have the strength, but that she had another, relatively easy way to make the demon die.
The methods that could make a demon die were Kibutsuji Muzan's curse, the Nichirin blade, sunlight, and specially made poison.
Coincidentally, Shinobu Kocho was a female swordsman who was proficient in toxicology and pharmacology, and skilled in poisoning demons.
Before the Demon Sister could secretly rejoice in her heart, her body showed abnormalities, uncontrollably retreating backwards, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, finally falling to the ground, dying.
"You can't let your guard down just because your neck wasn't cut off, you know! Because there are swordsmen like me who use poison."
The unique sword in her hand made a beautiful sword flourish, and she held it again.
"Demon Slayer Corps, Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho. I am the only swordsman among the Hashira who can't cut off a demon's neck, but I'm someone who has made a somewhat amazing poison for killing demons!"
"Oh dear, she's already dead, if she's already dead then she can't hear me, right! Sigh, I was careless!"
These words, spoken in a gentle voice, paired with a sweet smile, made Takeshi feel that Shinobu Kocho was a living combination of an angel and a demon.
"Oh my, you're still waiting for me! Then let's go together! I wonder if Giyu has resolved things over there~"
"Oh right, I haven't asked your name yet, how rude of me!" Shinobu Kocho said with a smile, a sweet smile hanging on her face.
Takeshi put his hand on the cloth covering his face, hesitating for a second, then putting his hand down, saying, "Nagasawa Aoyama."
"What a lovely name!" Shinobu Kocho said politely.
Having spent so much time, the Rui family on Natagumo Mountain had been almost completely slain, now only Rui was left.
He has always been pursuing the bond between his family, but his biological father wants to kill him, and his biological mother just watches from the side without any intention of stopping him.
Did he not have the bonds of family with them?
Several sharp threads flew towards Inosuke, who was charging forward, the threads touching his skin, sinking into his flesh, fresh blood flowing from the wounds.
Tanjiro quickly stepped forward, swinging his sword, looking at the threads connected to Inosuke.
Clang—
With a crisp sound, the sword in Tanjiro's hand broke into two.
Inosuke, whom he wanted to save, was thrown out violently by the threads, the bones in his body making cracking sounds, a large amount of blood spitting from his mouth.
