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

Yushiro is feeling very panicked now.

Originally, he thought his mission was just to protect Lord Tamayo and just to play a bystander role when the real business was being discussed.

Unexpectedly, the deal was made, but he suddenly became the protagonist.

Looking at the handsome man walking out of the woods, his breathing became faster.

The Flame Pillar, Kyōjurō Rengoku.

Although he had only been a demon for a short time, only more than 20 years, and did not have much combat experience, he had often heard of the name of the Demon Slayer Corps through various channels.

Relying on his blood demon art of controlling vision, he was even fortunate enough to witness the battle between the Lower Moons of the Twelve Demon Moons and the Pillar level members.

That is a realm he will never be able to reach in his lifetime.

After that, he became extra cautious. He would never go out if he could hide in the base, and he would try his best to persuade Lord Tamayo to stay in the base.

The world outside is too dangerous.

For these two weak Demons, if they were even slightly noticed, they could be killed.

Not only from the Demon Slayer Corps, but also from other demons.

It is also because of this that Yushiro is reluctant to let Tamayo have too close contact with Kotori Itsuka.

However, now, what he did not expect was that he was actually confronting a Pillar level member.

This is a strong human who can easily kill the Lower Moon Demons and is also capable of fighting against the Twelve Kizuki Demons.

If a conflict really broke out with such a strong man, Yushiro felt that he might not be able to withstand even one attack.

"Who is this?"

When he heard this question, Yushiro clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

Under Kyōjurō Rengoku gaze, he didn't even dare to look up and meet his gaze, and lowered his head stiffly.

Inside the barrier, Tamayo heart was already in her throat.

Tanjiro Kamado also felt the tense atmosphere in the air, and even the sound of his breathing was barely audible.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Kotori Itsuka blinked her eyes, her face full of surprise, as if she hadn't expected her brother to be here: "Didn't my brother say that we were busy searching for Demons tonight?"

Upon hearing that Kyōjurō Rengoku was here to search for Demons, Yushiro already pale face became even more pale.

He could only hope that the other party did not have the same abnormal sense of smell as Tanjiro Kamado, or a similar ability that would allow him to detect his identity as a demon.

Fortunately, Kyōjurō Rengoku does not have the ability to identify Demons.

Demons slayers usually identify Demons by their appearance, so if a Demons looks exactly like a human, it is difficult for them to spot it.

However, even though he didn't realize Yushiro true identity, Kyōjurō Rengoku eyes still stayed on him.

"Well, I was indeed searching for traces of Demons. I just sensed a strange aura here, so I wanted to come and take a look."

Kyōjurō Rengoku answered her question, and then asked the same question again: "Can you introduce me to who this gentleman is?"

"He..."

Kotori Itsuka patted his shoulder and said with a giggle, "He is my pen pal Yushiro. I told you about him before. Do you remember?"

"Remember, you said the purpose of your coming to Asakusa was to meet your pen pal."

Kyōjurō Rengoku nodded slightly, as if he believed what Kotori Itsuka said.

However, the look he gave Yushiro not only did not soften, but instead became more scrutinizing.

"So this boy is your...pen pal?"

Looking at Yushiro, whose guilty conscience was almost written all over his face, Kyōjurō Rengoku narrowed his eyes slightly.

If they were really just pen pals, why would he be so panicked just because someone else's brother showed up?

Although he didn't think his sister would lie to him.

But, there's something wrong with this guy no matter how you look at him.

Not only did he look like he was caught doing something bad, but he also invited a pure girl to this kind of grove in the middle of the night...

However, judging from his delicate skin and stylish clothes, he should be the young master of a certain family.

"Could it be... that he is Kotori suitor?"

Suddenly, a glimmer of understanding appeared in Kyōjurō Rengoku eyes.

He understood everything.

Although he devotes all his time to slaying demons and has no interest in love affairs, he is not a person who knows nothing.

Under such bright moonlight and in such a quiet woods, I'm sure this young man must be trying to take this opportunity to confess his love, right?

However, things did not go as planned. He became pen pals with Kotori Itsuka through letters, and found an opportunity to invite her to Asakusa. He specially prepared a place for confession, but he ruined the plan halfway.

And it was ruined by the brother of the girl he loved.

No wonder I was panicking.

After understanding the situation, Kyōjurō Rengoku eyes softened slightly.

"I see. It seems I am disturbing you."

Kyōjurō Rengoku walked up to Yushiro and grabbed his shoulders with both hands: "Raise your head, boy, and be more confident."

What a young man.

Yushiro couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

He just looks young, but his actual age is old enough to be Kyōjurō Rengoku father!

However, facing the request of the Pillar-level members, he did not dare to disobey and could only raise his head stiffly.

"I'm not against love between young people, but big families have their own rules."

Looking into Yushiro eyes, Kyōjurō Rengoku said seriously, "If you really like Kotori, then the three engagements and six ceremonies are indispensable. Although there are some special circumstances in our family, my father probably won't show up, but the eldest brother is like a father. Before we officially date, I will personally go to your family and negotiate with them."

"Ah…ah?"

The look on Yushiro face changed from nervous to confused. He had never expected that the other party would open his mouth to talk about something like this: "Love? Dating? You may have misunderstood something..."

Seeing that the boy in front of him was pretending to be stupid, Kyōjurō Rengoku frowned slightly.

In this era, inviting an innocent woman to a private meeting would already be a topic of gossip if it were to get out.

And now, he generously gave the other party a chance, but the other party pretended not to know what he was talking about.

Considering the boy's behavior, Kyōjurō Rengoku looked at him with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"If you asked Kotori out privately instead of paying her a formal visit, it's because you didn't take Kotori seriously and just wanted to have fun with her."

A hint of coldness appeared on Kyōjurō Rengoku face, which always had a sunny smile, and he exerted a little force on his hands that were clasping Yushiro shoulders.

"Then I'd better ask you to give up as soon as possible and stop tarnishing Kotori innocence."
