"I'm alive?"
Waking, Kaido found himself lying on an incredibly soft bed. Pure white radiance surrounded him—strangely comforting.
[Host, you're awake. How do you feel?]
A sudden voice spoke nearby. Turning his head, he saw a stunningly beautiful long-haired girl kneeling beside the bed. She looked... familiar.
"Why does she look so familiar... Wait! You—you're—"
Kaido shot upright like he'd been electrocuted, finally understanding why she seemed recognizable. One of his favorite anime characters from his previous life.
Bold, passionate, seductive yet slightly tsundere—Kurumi.
[Host, don't be alarmed. This system merely extracted a random character from your memories to create a virtual embodiment.]
"Oh, that makes sense. Scared the hell out of me... WAIT! My memories?? What exactly did you see??"
[Besides that 1TB of 'study materials,' also discovered photos of the host crossdressing in his previous life.]
Hearing this, Kaido's hands flew to cover himself defensively as he scrambled backward across the bed. But something felt wrong with his upper body—heavy, bulging.
Looking down—a glimpse of pale cleavage. He was wearing a shrine maiden outfit.
Horror flooded his eyes. He spun around, lifted the skirt, reached inside—and discovered it was gone...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
━━━━━━━━
Unable to accept reality, Kaido sat curled at the bed's edge, head buried against his knees, sobbing.
"Gone... sob... my little brother's gone... what's the point of living anymore... sob... might as well just die..."
"This system was definitely a Perverted System or Lewd System in its previous iteration, absolutely not a Demon Slayer System... sob... why are other people's systems so professional while mine just wants to molest me..." Kaido wailed in exasperation.
[Host, calm down. This is only temporary! After one hour, you'll revert to your original form!]
"You're telling the truth? Not lying?"
[Absolutely true! If I'm lying, may every guy who stares at you with weird eyes transform into a girl!]
"Phew~ Okay, I feel better now." Hearing that reassurance, Kaido relaxed. As long as he could change back, everything was fine.
[Host, do you remember your previous promise to this system?]
"Uh..." Kaido suddenly recalled promising that as long as it didn't cross certain boundaries, he'd wear any outfit the System provided. Resigned: "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid a curse. Do whatever you want."
[Then I won't hold back! slurp]
The System slowly extended its evil hands, supporting its body weight while crawling forward with predatory intent—approaching Kaido with unmistakable malicious intent.
"Hey, hey, hey... why are you licking your lips like that??"
"Don't pull my clothes off... No, no... the skirt can't come off... that's crossing the line... don't touch there... I'm exposed... "
[Don't worry, Host. Holy light censorship has everything covered—they can't see anything! Just ignore those stares!]
"NOOOOO!"
(Emmm... whose suffering is this?)
━━━━━━━━
Temporarily transformed into female form by the System, Kaido was dressed in a black maid outfit, paired with garter-belt white stockings. Long white hair cascaded loosely. A bell hung around his neck.
To preserve the maid outfit's aesthetic perfection, the System had even hidden Kaido's dragon horns and tail.
[Maid Host, hehehe! Host, strike a cat pose! You don't want to stay female forever, do you?]
Kaido had no choice but to comply. Face flushed crimson, tears streaming, legs pressed tightly together—he assumed the humiliating maid-cat pose and let out a mortified "meow."
Next, the System changed him into another outfit: a black cheongsam slit to the thigh, paired with a small fan.
But the System's favorite transformation was zombie-girl style. Wide sleeves, black stockings, form-fitting zombie garb.
Hair styled into twin buns at the back of the head, secured with ornamental pins. A talisman affixed to the forehead beneath a cap. Three talismans attached to each wide sleeve. Kaido was made to stick out his tongue and cross his legs for the pose.
Remaining hair braided into two long plaits hanging behind the buns. Combined with the System's feminized body, paired with platform wooden sandals—the effect was uniquely charming.
Again, to preserve aesthetics, the System "thoughtfully" (deliberately) hid the dragon horns and tail.
[Haa~ Host, this system doesn't ask for much, but I want to...] Gazing at zombie-girl Kaido, the System suddenly conceived a bold idea!
"IMPOSSIBLE! Don't even think about it! This is already my absolute limit! All you think about is perverted stuff—what kind of ambition does this system have??"
Thus passed one hour—seemingly brief, yet Kaido felt like an entire century had elapsed. Escape was impossible.
━━━━━━━━
Time flowed like water, swift and relentless. Three months passed in what felt like moments.
Everyone's injuries had completely healed. Just as they prepared to return to their respective residences for recovery training, Kagaya's messenger crows delivered summons—attendance required at a Pillar meeting.
The ten Hashira, upon receiving notification, immediately prepared and departed for the Ubuyashiki estate.
During this period, Kanae had visited Kaido's estate...
Upon arriving at the estate, everyone sat formally, awaiting Kagaya's arrival.
"The Master arrives!"
Shortly after, another door opened. Two girls' voices announced his presence.
Kagaya entered, kneeling on the tatami before everyone. Behind him stood Amane, their four daughters, and their son.
"Children, thank you all for attending this meeting. Today marks the final Pillar conference."
"Himejima, Tengen, Sanemi, Giyu, Kyojuro, Obanai, Muichiro, Mitsuri, Kanae, Shinobu, Kaido..."
Speaking Kaido's name, Kagaya paused. Every Hashira and the Ubuyashiki family's gaze fell upon the vacant position—where only a case containing the broken blade rested silently.
Earlier, Kanae had visited Kaido's estate seeking Retsuki's permission—hoping to bring "Kaido" to this final Pillar meeting.
Retsuki had agreed. But she'd insisted on accompanying them. After the conference concluded, she wanted to personally bring her brother home...
Gazing at the shattered greatsword, everyone fell into reminiscence...
"Children, Muzan Kibutsuji has been destroyed. But we lost one Pillar-level swordsman—Kaido. Regardless, I hope you'll honor what that child said: live well. Don't disappoint him."
"Now that demons have been eliminated, I declare: effective today, the Demon Slayer Corps is officially disbanded!"
"Yes, Master!" the Hashira responded in unison.
"You've wagered your lives, fought for humanity, given everything. The entire Ubuyashiki family expresses profound gratitude."
The family of seven bowed deeply to the assembled Hashira in respectful tribute.
"Master, please don't!"
"Raise your heads! This isn't necessary!"
Everyone immediately moved to stop them.
"The Corps' survival depended entirely on the Ubuyashiki family's efforts!"
"Without you, we wouldn't have known what to do. Please don't act this way. If Kaido were still here, I believe he wouldn't want this either."
Hearing those words, the Ubuyashiki family raised their heads, smiling. "Thank you all."
"After the Corps' disbandment, our family will provide sufficient compensation to support you comfortably for life. This is what you've earned—please don't refuse."
━━━━━━━━
Retsuki had been kneeling outside the conference room, waiting for the final meeting to conclude. She rose and entered, bowing to everyone. "Forgive the interruption. I'm here to bring my brother home to rest."
She closed the case and shouldered it onto her back.
"Retsuki-chan, let us accompany you both home this time, okay?"
Retsuki looked at everyone, then at the Ubuyashiki family, smiling. "Thank you all."
━━━━━━━━
Retsuki carried the case on her back. Behind her walked the ten Hashira and the Ubuyashiki family—over half an hour's journey to Kaido's estate.
However, at the estate's entrance, everyone saw an intensely familiar figure. A fox mask atop his head, a sword in his hand.
"Kaido-niisan?"
Seeing her beloved brother standing before her, Retsuki thought it was an illusion. She called out tentatively.
The figure slowly turned. Everyone realized—this wasn't illusion. This was real.
"KAIDO-NIISAN!"
Retsuki took one step forward—but the hundred-pound case on her back threw her off balance.
In less than a heartbeat, Kaido appeared before her—steadying her, setting the case down gently, then pulling her into his embrace.
This time, Retsuki didn't let go. Her arms wrapped tightly around him—terrified he'd vanish the next instant.
Kaido felt the trembling form in his arms. He knew. Retsuki was crying.
"I'm sorry. I'm home."
