Chapter 104 Kanroji Mitsuri's Reaction
"The first day after Mr. Aomura left, Shinobu arrived at Iikura to investigate the demon problem.
Shinobu is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, a year younger than me, but incredibly powerful!
Through her introduction, I also joined the Demon Slayer Corps, learning breathing techniques from Mr. Rengoku, and finally passed the final selection..."
Kanroji Mitsuri pulled Aoki aside, chattering away about her experiences.
Aoki listened quietly, occasionally chiming in.
"Mr. Aomura, what about you?" Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly asked.
"Me?"
Aoki said, "Just like I said before, I basically wander around killing demons."
"So Mr. Aomura also kills demons. Shinobu said Mr. Aomura wasn't a member of the Demon Slayer Corps..."
Kanroji Mitsuri's voice trailed off, her face becoming blank.
"So you finally figured it out?"
Aoki said nothing, simply watching her.
"Ah!"
Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly jumped up. "Mr. Aomura, you, you, how did you become a demon?"
Aoki smiled. "I didn't become a demon. I was a demon all along, at least when we first met."
Kanroji Mitsuri was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
No wonder Mr. Aomura gave her a strange feeling when they first met; at the time, she didn't know where that strange feeling came from.
Now she finally understood.
"Miss Kanroji, actually I..."
Aoki prepared to reveal his identity.
When they parted, he had indeed thought that they might become enemies if they met again.
However, after he cooperated with the Demon Slayer Corps, this worry no longer existed.
He had no intention of testing humanity, nor did he want to put Kanroji Mitsuri in a difficult position.
However, Kanroji Mitsuri didn't hear him at all, anxiously pacing around.
"What to do? What to do? What to do?"
She scratched her beautiful hair. "Mr. Aomura, should we run away?"
Aoki was taken aback. "Run away? Where to?"
"Anywhere! It would be best to leave Tokyo Prefecture, leave this country!"
Kanroji Mitsuri's tone was anxious. "I've heard that the world is very big, and our country is just an insignificant corner of this world! As long as we escape from here, we won't have to worry about being hunted by the Demon Slayer Corps!"
Aoki smiled. "I'm a demon, aren't you going to kill me?"
Kanroji Mitsuri asked, "Mr. Aomura, have you ever eaten a human?"
"No."
"Then have you ever killed an innocent person?"
"I've killed quite a few people, but I'm confident that I haven't killed a single innocent one."
"Then why would I kill Mr. Aomura?" Kanroji Mitsuri's expression and tone were very serious.
Aoki chuckled, "If I told you, would you believe me?"
Kanroji Mitsuri said, "Mr. Aomura has saved so many girls. Although he has the aura of a demon, he doesn't have that rotten smell.
Besides, he's very handsome. I believe Mr. Aomura is definitely not a bad person!"
"You don't have to tell me the last reason."
Aoki shook his head with a laugh and opened his arms, "However, thank you for your trust, Miss Kanroji. Take another look at me!"
Kanroji Mitsuri was somewhat puzzled, but quickly her eyes widened: "Team uniform? Mr. Aomura, why are you wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform too?"
Aoki explained, "Actually, I've already reached an agreement with the Demon Slayer Corps. Remember that wooden sign?"
"Wooden sign?" Kanroji Mitsuri quickly remembered: "Was it the one I broke?"
Aoki nodded: "That's the one I made."
"So Mr. Aomura was my helper."
Kanroji Mitsuri completely understood, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes shining slightly: "Great, now we don't have to run away! Wow, I thought we'd be chased by the Demon Slayer Corps!"
Aoki thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Kanroji, what happened in Iikura after I left? How is the Aoki Dojo doing? How did the Yoruhime Society develop?"
He hadn't returned to Azabu, but he hadn't forgotten the situation there.
Kanroji Mitsuri was quite familiar with her hometown, including the situation at the Aoki Dojo.
"Because Mr. Aomura destroyed the Night Princess Society, Miss Mizuno Taeko safely returned to the Aoki Dojo.
Later, many police officers came to the Aoki Dojo to inquire about Mr. Aomura, which affected the dojo's business to some extent, but it quickly recovered.
About two months later, Mr. Akiyama Keisuke and Miss Mizuno Taeko got married!"
"They're already married!" Aoki exclaimed.
Akiyama Keisuke contributed to the birth and refinement of the Aoki Style.
However, the late arrival of the "Martial Artist" profession might also be due to Akiyama Keisuke.
But oh well, the "Martial Artist" level is already maxed out now anyway.
"As for the Night Princess Society,"
Kanroji Mitsuri continued, "The Night Princess Society's affair was exposed the next day, causing a huge sensation, and everyone was indignant. The Night Princess Society
was sealed off that day, and three days later, all the main members of the Fujita family were arrested and imprisoned.
Soon, Fujita Steel Company went bankrupt, and a large number of government officials were sentenced."
"They deserved it," Aoki said.
Kanroji Mitsuri whispered, "Actually, it's because Mr. Mizuno Kengo and all the victims and their families put pressure on them; otherwise, those high-ranking officials might not have been punished.
And, it's said that even so, some high-ranking prisoners weren't affected."
"Not surprising," Aoki said calmly.
There are plenty of messy things in this world; he has neither the ability nor the energy to deal with them.
Kanroji Mitsuri pouted, "Mr. Aomura saving people is good! They're protecting criminals, bad!"
Aoki chuckled, stood up, and said, "It's about time we went. By the way, Miss Kanroji, would you like to go to the Butterfly Mansion and meet Shinobu Kochō?"
"The Butterfly Mansion? Oh, I know, I know! It's a medical institution run by Shinobu and her sister, Ms. Kanae Kochō!"
Kanroji Mitsuri tilted her head, "Mr. Aomura knows Shinobu too?"
"Actually, my initial contact with the Demon Slayer Corps was because of Kanae Kochō and Shinobu Kochō."
Aoki briefly explained how he met the Kochō sisters and how things developed afterward.
"Okay! I'm going!" Kanroji Mitsuri exclaimed happily, "I haven't seen Shinobu since joining the Demon Slayer Corps!"
Aoki grabbed her arm, "Let's go back to headquarters first and tell the head of the Ubuyashiki family, then we'll go to the Butterfly Mansion."
Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes widened slightly, "Huh? Wait a minute, the head of the Ubuyashiki family, isn't that…"
Before she could finish speaking, the two of them vanished.
Back at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Aoki greeted Ubuyashiki Kagaya and then led Kanroji Mitsuri to the Butterfly Mansion.
