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

Asakusa is one of the cities in the Tokyo area.

The distance between the Rengoku family and Asakusa is actually not far, and Kyōjurō Rengoku originally planned to walk all the way.

However, considering bringing Kotori Itsuka with him, he finally decided to take the train.

In the evening, the two arrived in Asakusa.

After instructing his sister to stay at the Demon Slayer Corps' settlement in Asakusa at night, Kyōjurō Rengoku immediately began searching in Asakusa.

Late at night, the agreed time.

In the dark, hiding from the eyes of other people in the settlement, Kotori Itsuka slipped out of the mansion.

No matter which world it is, this is her first time visiting Asakusa.

Following Tanjiro Kamado description and referring to many signs along the way, she arrived at an open space in a forest somewhere in the suburbs of Asakusa.

"We meet again, Itsuka... Commander!"

They noticed each other approaching, and soon, Tanjiro Kamado, who was hiding here, appeared in front of her.

Next to him was an innocent girl with waist-length black hair and a bamboo in her mouth.

There was a gleam of curiosity in the girl's eyes as she stared at Kotori Itsuka, but she did not take any further action.

She is Nezuko Kamado, who inherited the blood of Muzan Kibutsujibut suppressed her instincts as a demon and does not need to eat human flesh.

It was already late at night, and without the influence of the sun, Nezuko, who usually hid in the box, could move around freely outside.

However, Kotori Itsuka attention was not on her.

"Your persuasion failed?"

Seeing that there was no one else around Tanjiro Kamado, Kotori Itsuka frowned: "The two potential members you mentioned are not willing to join Ratatoskr?"

"Don't worry, they are not unwilling to join. After I told them about you, they all showed great interest." Tanjiro Kamado replied, "It's just that they usually act cautiously and are not sure whether they can really trust you."

Of course, Kotori Itsuka knew who the two potential members mentioned by Tanjiro Kamado were.

Tamayo and Yushiro.

As Demons, they are one of the few special cases who can survive without eating humans.

However, unlike Nezuko who only needs to sleep to restore her energy, they have not completely reversed their instincts as demons, but only suppressed them. Therefore, they still need to suck a small amount of human blood to maintain their sanity.

The most important thing is that they two might also be the two demons who stand on the opposite side of Muzan.

Moreover, they are the two experts with the most say in studying how to transform Demons into humans and how to change the eating habits of Demons.

These two Demons are the ones that Kotori Itsuka is determined to bring into her camp no matter what.

"Reasonable doubt. If I were them, I wouldn't trust a stranger right away."

Faced with the other party's caution, Kotori Itsuka expressed her understanding: "Then what do I need to do so that they are willing to trust me?"

Tanjiro Kamado said nothing.

Just standing there with Nezuko, speechless.

Just when Kotori Itsuka was wondering why this guy didn't say a word, he seemed to remember something and a look of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

Soon, as she expected, two figures appeared in the bushes not far away as if by magic.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Itsuka."

A woman wearing a kimono embroidered with flowers and exuding traditional femininity walked slowly to the two of them.

Behind the woman, there was a man who seemed to have a bad temper. There was a hint of vigilance and hostility in his eyes as he looked at Kotori Itsuka.

"Please forgive my impoliteness. In order to confirm that you are not someone sent by that man, I must observe you first."

Tamayo voice was gentle and soft, and it sounded very soothing, and she would unconsciously develop a favorable impression of him: "I didn't detect the blood on your body like other Demons, nor did I feel the mark of that man. It seems that you are indeed a special Demons as Tanjiro said."

Demons, according to common sense, are man eating monsters.

Anyone who is sensitive to scents can detect the strong smell of blood on a Demons at a glance.

As for Tamayo, she can not only identify the identity of a Demons from the smell of blood, but she can also identify it from a deeper level.

Those are the cells of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Every demon was once a human being, but after being given the blood of Muzan, they became monsters like him.

However, Muzan Kibutsuji was not kind to his own people, but even more cruel.

Any Demons that possesses his cells can be said to have their life controlled by him. With just a thought from Muzan Kibutsuji, their life can be easily taken away.

Because Muzan cells bring not only power to demons, but also curses.

In the past, Tamayo was also a monster.

However, through her continuous research on Muzan cells, she found a way to eliminate the curse in Muzan cells and gained her freedom.

When it comes to the research on Muzan cells, perhaps even Muzan Kibutsuji himself doesn't know as much as Tamayo.

As for the reason why they appeared out of thin air just now, it was because Yushiro blood demon art had the ability to control vision and create illusions.

Before Kotori Itsuka arrived, he must have prepared talismans drawn with his own blood to cover up the two people's traces and breath.

"Now that my identity has been confirmed, there's no need to chat any more. Let's get down to business."

Kotori Itsuka did not show any surprise at the appearance of the two people. She said straight to the point: "I know you must have a lot of questions you want to ask me. Just ask. I will answer everything I can."

"Tanjiro said that Miss Itsuka is a decisive person. It seems to be true."

Tamayo nodded, and without much politeness, she asked, "Regarding your organization, Ratatoskr, Tanjiro said it is a neutral organization that does not belong to the Demon Slayer Corps or the demons, and its goal is to end the war between humans and demons, is that right?"

"That's right."

"Then how do you do this?" Tamayo asked seriously, "The conflict between humans and demons has lasted for thousands of years. It is definitely not something that one person or one demon can end."

"That's why I founded Ratatoskr and recruited capable people and Demons."

"If you want to end the war, the most direct way is to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji. Why do you think that with the organization you just founded, you can do what the Demon Slayer Corps has not done in a thousand years?"

"The answer is simple."

A crazy smile appeared on the corner of Kotori Itsuka mouth.

The aura she exuded increased to a point that made people's faces turn pale with the appearance of the Divine Power Spirit Suit: Fifth Division.

The red flames swept through, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to soar instantly.

It was like being in magma. Even the air was distorted by the burning. The heat waves burned all the weeds within a radius of ten meters, turning them into ashes.

"Master Tamayo!"

Yushiro, who had been looking at Kotori Itsuka in silence, suddenly took a step forward and protected Tamayo behind him.

As the demon's instincts were aroused, Yushiro human like features suddenly became hideous, with the whites of his eyes stained a terrifying scarlet color.

Even Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko stepped back, as if they were afraid of being affected by this real flame and getting burned.

"Because I have a power that the Demon Slayer Corps does not have."

In the rising flames, Kotori Itsuka was like an immortal phoenix of fire. She raised her chin with an arrogant look and said, "It's enough power to kill Muzan Kibutsuji."

It has to be admitted that the power she displayed has exceeded Tamayo expectations.

If a Demons wants to improve its strength, the most direct way is to eat humans.

The more people a Demons eats, the stronger its power becomes.

But if you don't gain strength by eating humans, then another more convenient way is to get more blood of Muzan.

The more blood of Muzan the body has, the greater the upper limit of its strength will be.

This is also the reason why Demons fight each other.

Muzan was reluctant to distribute his blood, so they could only snatch it from their own kind.

However, for a demon, the two fastest ways to improve strength do not work on Kotori Itsuka.

There was no smell of blood on her body, which meant that she had not eaten either humans or Demons for a long time.

And for a demon like her who is not controlled by the curse contained in Muzan cells, it is even more impossible for Muzan to give her more blood.

Therefore, before meeting Kotori Itsuka, neither Tamayo nor Yushiro took her strength seriously.

This is also one of the reasons why they dared to meet Kotori Itsuka directly.

But now they find that they were wrong.

Totally wrong.

"You are indeed very strong. The ordinary pillars, or even the strongest of the Demons, the Twelve Kizukis, should not be your opponents."

Tamayo suppressed the shock in her heart and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "However, Muzan Kibutsuji strength is far superior to the pillars and the Twelve Demon Moons. With your current strength alone, you still cannot defeat him."

"Did I say this is all my strength?"

Kotori Itsuka chuckled and suppressed the flames around them, making everyone feel much better: "Even if you can remain unharmed in the scorching aftermath, this forest will be burned to the ground by my power... I think you don't want to attract attention, right?"

"It is just as you said."

Tamayo nodded slowly.

Whether it is Tamayo, who has not eaten humans for hundreds of years, or Yushiro, who has not needed to eat humans since he was born, their powers are extremely limited.

Not only does he need to evade Muzan capture, but he also has to avoid the search of the Demon Slayer Corps.

They live in seclusion in Asakusa, relying on the caution they have exercised over the past hundred years.

If Kotori Itsuka really burned the entire forest to ashes and attracted the attention of the demons and the Demon Slayer Corps, it would be the worst news for them.

However, after witnessing a glimpse of Kotori Itsuka power, Tamayo confidence increased significantly.

Although based on her past experience, she still believes that Muzan is stronger, but it is undeniable that Kotori Itsuka is definitely not weak.

The aura emanating from the figure standing in the flames even made her feel vaguely as if she was facing... that person.

"Flame... Breath of the Sun..."

As if she had thought of something, a thoughtful look flashed in Tamayo eyes.

If there is anyone who can definitely defeat Muzan, she will only give one answer.

Five hundred years ago, the man who made Kibutsuji Muzan deeply afraid.

The strongest swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Tamayo couldn't help but look at Nezuko who was blinking beside her.

If this girl became a Demons but was able to maintain her sanity, it was because her family inherited part of the essence of the Breath of the Sun...

Does Kotori Itsuka also have some kind of relationship with the man who killed gods and demons that stood in his way?

Looking at the red hair and red eyes of Kotori Itsuka, a guess came to Tamayo mind.

"Could it be... a descendant of Yoriichi Tsugikuni?"

Tamayo calm expression was mixed with a hint of anticipation because of her own guess.

If Kotori Itsuka really inherited the bloodline of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, then it would indeed explain why after she became a demon, she not only possessed super strong power without doing anything, but also remained rational like Nezuko.

Tamayo still clearly remembers how powerful that man was.

Even the ancestor of demons was as small as an ant in front of the man who used the lost breathing method of the Sun Breathing, and could not even withstand the power of his sword.

If her guess is really correct, then Kotori Itsuka may really be able to end the war between humans and demons.

But even if it wasn't, it would only be a slight disappointment for Tamayo.

After all, being able to receive the protection of such a strong man can give a lot of sense of security to a character like her who survives between humans and Demons.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the chaotic emotions in her heart, Tamayo spoke slowly.

"I am willing to join your organization." Tamayo said, "Although I cannot fight, I have some experience in pharmacology. If you meet other Demons who are willing to join the organization, I can treat them so that they can stay sane without eating humans."

"Since Master Tamayo has said so..."

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Yushiro always agreed with Tamayo decisions and agreed, "Then I have no choice but to join in."

However, after he finished speaking, he immediately added: "Although we have joined your organization, you have to understand that we are not your servants. If you want to instruct Master Tamayo to do anything dangerous, I will not agree!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you do any dangerous work." Kotori Itsuka said, "On the contrary, you just need to continue to do your job well."

The three continued to discuss for a while.

After reaching a consensus, Ratatoskr officially welcomed two new members.
