I'm not going to be an Spirit! (Translate)

Dawn, wasteland.

In the dim light of dawn, several men in black wearing hats and gauze were pulling a prison cart along a country road.

They were incredibly fast, even faster than ordinary horses. They took turns pulling the cart and maintained a very fast speed.

They are [Hidden].

A team within the Demon Slayer Corps that is responsible for cleanup and support.

Although they were unable to perform the task of slaying demons due to their lack of sword skills, they were all proficient in the simple [Breathing Technique], which enabled them to obtain physical fitness that surpassed that of ordinary people.

In the morning glow, their figures moved silently like nimble black cats.

And in that prison car, there was a young man imprisoned.

The boy had multiple injuries on his body and looked weak, as if he had just been through a battle.

The constant vibrations of the prison van twitched the wounds inside and outside his body, causing his expression to twitch slightly unconsciously.

The boy name is Tanjiro Kamado, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, at this moment, he was being escorted by the people who were supposed to be his partners to Tokyo for a rare trial of the Pillars.

The reason is that the Demon Slayer Corps discovered that his sister, Nezuko Kamado, was a demon.

It is unacceptable in any way that members of the Demon Slayer Corps are colluding with demons.

Because in the Demon Slayer Corps thousands of years of demon slaying history, all evil demons are man eating monsters that must be eliminated.

Not executing him and his sister on the spot was already a great favor.

"Its almost there."

A member of the Hidden Team looked at the vague outline of the city not far away, and his vigilant nerves relaxed a little.

As a logistical force, they are more like ninjas who operate in the dark, performing covert work while trying not to attract the attention of ordinary people and the government as much as possible, rather than demon slayers who specialize in combat.

But at the same time, they also need to beware of sudden attacks from Demons.

Although their job is not as dangerous as that of a demon slayer, it is just as troublesome.

"stop!"

However, at this moment, the leader of this hidden team suddenly stopped as if he had noticed something.

Looking at a big tree on the side of the road that was so thick that it was enough for three people to hug, the leader put his hand on the pistol at his waist.

Although Demons are natural enemies of humans, for Yin, who is responsible for logistics, the probability of encountering them is actually not high.

In their usual missions, they encountered more mountain bandits, wild warriors, and robbers and bandits.

Feeling the powerful aura behind the tree, the leader said in a deep voice: "We are just here to hurry on our way. If you are not here for us, please give way."

"You guys are really slow in coming. I've been waiting here for a long time. I thought I was guarding the wrong road."

Behind the big tree, a girl wearing a burning light cherry colored feather veil, a black headband with two hair accessories that looked like demon horns, and a demon mask on her face appeared in front of the road.

Although it looks like a real Demons, since it can stand in the sun, it must be a human.

However, since the girl who blocked the road knew about the existence of the breathing method, she must not be an ordinary person.

"May I ask who you are?"

The team leader did not dare to be arrogant and bowed.

However, Kotori Itsuka, who was blocking the road, had no intention of answering. She crossed her arms and said in a cold and arrogant tone: "If you don't want to get hurt, then leave the prison van here."

"I'm sorry, this is a prisoner who violated the rules. We need to transport him to where the trial will take place."

The leader lowered his body slightly and took a defensive stance: "Although I don't know who you are, I'm sorry that I can't agree to your request."

"Trial? Who? The government?" Kotori Itsuka chuckled. "Don't think you are in such a high position. What you did was just lynching. The Demon Slayer Corps not only does not have the power to judge others, but also does not have the power to imprison others."

It seems that the visitor has bad intentions.

The hearts of the team leader and other team members sank to the bottom.

Originally, they were accompanied by two Pillar-level members, but for some reason, the two Pillars left first.

The mission of escorting criminals is not dangerous, especially when the target of the escort is seriously injured and unconscious.

But I didn't expect that someone would come to hijack the car.

This is outrageous.

After all, the person they were escorting didn't have any powerful background that was worth anyone spending a lot of money to kidnap him.

Normally, if you encounter a few people blocking the road, they will at most ask for some tolls. It may be a little dangerous for ordinary people and caravans, but for Yin who has learned the breathing method, fighting against ten or twenty ordinary people alone is not a problem at all.

However, the girl blocking the road in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person.

The purpose of blocking the road was not for money, but for the people they were escorting.

This kind of situation has never been encountered before.

"Forget it. It seems like you guys are the type that won't adapt. So let's just do it."

Just as the team leader was thinking about how to respond, Kotori Itsuka lost her patience.

Everyone immediately became alert, and some touched the ordinary swords at their waists, or the pistols in their arms.

However, their reaction was still a step slow.

Kotori Itsuka just moved slightly, and her figure appeared in front of the team leader from outside the big tree dozens of meters away as if she had teleported.

"you..."

The leader face showed astonishment.

This speed is comparable to the speed of a Pillar level member running at full speed.

Not only does one need to master the breathing method to a high degree [Full Concentration], but one also needs to learn the advanced level of breathing method that only a few elites are qualified to learn [Full Concentration? Regular], in order to achieve such speed through muscle bursts.

But now is no time to be surprised.

There was a flash of determination in the leader eyes.

The pistol that had been prepared long ago was already pointed at the girl in front of him, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang--!"

The bullet was aimed at the head, but the opponent dodged it by tilting his head slightly.

The lead bullet grazed Kotori Itsuka ear, leaving a faint scratch.

However, the leader did not have the chance to fire a second shot.

Kotori Itsuka raised her fist, and the team leader felt a huge force coming from her chin.

With a crisp sound of bone breaking, he was knocked directly into the sky without even being able to let out a scream.

Then he fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and lost consciousness.

"Demons..."

Among the other members of the Hidden Clan, a sharp eyed one noticed that flames were burning in Kotori Itsuka ears.

And in that flame, the scratches were healed in just a moment.

"How is that possible!"

The other members also exclaimed.

This inhuman self-healing speed is absolutely not something that humans can possess.

Even if it was just a scratch, it would be impossible to recover so quickly.

There is only one creature in this world that can heal itself at this speed.

Demons.

However, if the other party was really a Demons, why would it be standing in the sun safely and soundly?

Seeing the expressions on everyone faces, Kotori Itsuka smiled under the mask, as if her plan had succeeded.

She deliberately did not activate the shield of the Astral Dress in order to prevent these people from mistaking her for a Demons.

Otherwise, let alone the 20th century's muskets, even the 21st century's missiles would not be able to penetrate the A-level divine spiritual suit.

"If you are willing to give up resistance, I can make you suffer less."

The girl who was blocking the road clapped her fists as if she had just swatted away a fly.

However, no one laid down their weapons.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but sigh.

"But it seems that you all have chosen the side that is thankless."

Three minutes later.

All ten hidden members, including the team leader, fainted around the prison van.

Although he is not dead, he will definitely not wake up in a short time.

Kotori Itsuka took off the evil spirit mask that she had bought casually at a roadside stall, and looking at the mess on the ground, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"Sure enough, the character in Kotori is much easier to play."

In the original story, Kotori Itsuka is mostly divided into two personalities, namely the so called Black Kotori and White Kotori.

The method to distinguish the two is also very simple. Just look at the color of the headband on her head to know which state she is in.

However, Kotori Itsuka does not have a dual personality in the traditional sense like Yoshino Himekawa, and her situation is also different from that of the Yamai sisters.

If I have to say, Black and White Kotori are two personalities of Kotori Itsuka.

When she is an ordinary person, Kotori Itsuka wears the personality mask of the innocent and pure Shiro Kotori.

But when she is working, Kotori Itsuka will put on the personality mask of the sharp-tongued and sadistic Black Kotori.

In front of her brother in this world, Kyōjurō Rengoku, she plays the role of White Kotori, who is clingy and crybaby.

But in this situation, it is obviously the time for Black Kotori to appear.

Compared to the clingy and crybaby [sister] personality, the decisive and action oriented [commander] personality is obviously easier for the girl to play.

When she was acting coquettishly in front of Kyōjurō Rengoku yesterday, she had to resist the urge to dig her way out of the three bedroom, one living room apartment with her toes before she could play the role of White Kotori.

"After all, Kotori is one of the few combat type Spirit, and I haven't drawn any powerful combat abilities so far." Kotori Itsuka muttered, "If I can play Kotori well and draw a combat type talent, this mere feeling of shame won't matter."

Then, she looked at the real purpose of her carjacking.

The Kamado siblings.

The steel prison car cage was like paper in front of her and was easily broken.

Stepping into the cage of the prison van, she stepped on Tanjiro Kamado gray face.

"Hey, time to get up."

The wooden clogs twisted a few times on the boy face, causing Tanjiro Kamado eyelids to twitch.

The clear pain made his chaotic consciousness a little clearer.

Under the constant stimulation of Kotori Itsuka, Tanjiro Kamado finally opened his eyes.

"here it is..."

The pain in his body, his slow thinking, and the girl stepping on his face made it difficult for him to figure out his situation.

However, as the last memories before the coma gradually emerged in his mind, that foolish expression suddenly changed.

"Nezuko, where's Nezuko?!"

"Don't worry, isn't it right next to you?"

Looking in the direction of Kotori Itsuka pout, Tanjiro Kamado discovered that his wooden box was lying quietly in another corner of the prison car.

He could feel his sister, who had turned into a demon but was still connected to him by blood, sleeping in it.

Then, the panicked expression on his face relaxed a little.

On Spider Mountain, Nezuko identity as a demon was exposed, attracting the Demon Slayer Corps to hunt her down.

In order to protect him and his sister, his senior, Giyu Tomioka, even drew his sword against his own colleagues, just to buy him time to escape.

But in the end, both of them were caught.

Just before they were about to be executed, the Demon Slayer Corps members on Spider Mountain received an order from their leader to bring the two of them back to the temporary headquarters in Tokyo for trial, which allowed them to escape.

After thinking through the whole cause and effect, Tanjiro Kamado expression, which had just relaxed, became stiff again.

"I can explain. Although Nezuko is a Demons, she is a Demons that doesn't eat humans!"

Tanjiro Kamado naturally regarded the girl in front of him as an important member of the Demon Slayer Corps, thinking that the so-called trial had begun, and hurriedly explained: "Although this sounds incredible, but..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Kotori Itsuka raised her index finger to interrupt his long speech and said impatiently: "I'm not interested in listening to you, and you don't have to explain anything to me."

"But..."

Tanjiro Kamado face turned even paler.

Just when he thought his sister was about to be executed, Kotori Itsuka continued to explain: "Because I am not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"You...you are not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?" Tanjiro Kamado was stunned, "But wasn't I sent to trial?"

"Well, I stopped him halfway."

Kotori Itsuka pointed at the hidden members lying on the ground and said calmly: "These are the members of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"ah..."

Tanjiro Kamado brain short circuited.

Although I had no idea what happened, the fact is that I was rescued.

Without the danger of losing his life, facing the lifesaver of himself and his sister, Tanjiro Kamado immediately sat up and solemnly performed a standard dogeza: "Thank you very much for saving my life and my sister life."

"You're welcome."

"Excuse me, what is your name?"

"We'll talk about names later. I'm not saving you without any conditions."

"I completely understand. You can take anything I can give you." Tanjiro Kamado said sincerely, "But if you want money... I haven't been in the Demon Slayer Corps for long. I was caught as a traitor before my first month's salary was paid. So I'm afraid money can't satisfy your expectations, but I can pay with my body!"

Kotori Itsuka looked at him speechlessly.

Although she knew that paying with her body meant paying with her labor, it still sounded a bit awkward.

But considering that this guy purity is comparable to Tohka, I will let it go for now.

"It just so happens that I do need some help with my work. This is actually why I saved you and your sister."

Kotori Itsuka took out a lollipop from the pocket of her Kamui Spirit Suit and put it in her mouth, asking coolly.

"Are you willing to sign a contract with me and become a member of Ratatoskr?"
