NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45
Fourth Fifteenth Chapter: First Offline Gathering (Subscription Request, Flower Request)
Tanjiro: “Everyone, I’ve completed my master’s training and am about to head to Fujise Mountain for the Demon Slayer Corps’ entrance examination.”
Esdeath: “What is the Demon Slayer Corps?”
Qian Renxue: “Same question.”
Adolf K. Wiesmann: “It’s like this.”
Due to new members joining, Wiesmann replaced Bai Luo in giving a brief overview of the Demon Slayer World.
Master Abe: “Man-eating demons, how terrifying.”
After all, he’s just an ordinary person from the late Qing Dynasty era.
Easterners are especially wary of these ghostly and demonic things.
Bai Luo: “They’re not the kind of ghosts you think they are, Master Abe. The demons on Tanjiro’s side are more like man-eating monsters.”
Esdeath: “Interesting, immortal monsters that cannot be killed?”
Kurumi Tokisaki: “Little Brother Tanjiro, can I go to your place and capture a few demons?”
Bai Luo: “Do you want to absorb their time?”
Kurumi Tokisaki: “Yes!”
Since the demons are immortal, the time within them must surely be greater than that of ordinary people.
Such excellent natural batteries would naturally attract Kurumi.
As for whether the demons might harm Kurumi,
That’s not even a concern.
With Kurumi’s strength, mere demons, even without her Nichirin Blade, she could easily throw them under the sun to perish.
Tanjiro: “This…”
The young boy was still too kind-hearted; even towards demons, Tanjiro felt some pity.
But considering Kurumi’s goal aligns with his own — reducing the number of demons,
Tanjiro: “If Sister Kurumi wishes, you may search in my world.”
He wouldn’t actively hand over demons to Kurumi but wouldn’t stop her either.
As for the demons Kurumi catches herself, Tanjiro would consider them as being eliminated by her.
Tanjiro is kind, but not overly sentimental.
When it comes to major issues, he knows what’s important.
Bai Luo: “Is everyone interested in demons?”
Qian Renxue: “I do indeed want to see what immortal monsters look like.”
Misaka Mikoto: “I’d like to see too, but I’m a bit worried.”
According to Bai Luo and Wiesmann, demons are creatures with full physical resistance; even if she blasts them into pieces with her Railgun, they can still recover.
Fortunately, the Electric Mistress’s electric shocks can paralyze the demons.
As long as she finishes them off at the right moment and avoids being caught in close combat, demons pose little threat to Misaka Mikoto.
“Why don’t we go support Tanjiro?”
“Sure, sure.”
Misaka Mikoto was the first to agree: “And also take care of that guy, Ghost Dancer Mushan.”
Eliminating demons and turning Tzudoki back into a human is Tanjiro’s wish.
Whether or not he personally seeks revenge doesn’t matter much.
Thus, there’s no reason for Tanjiro to refuse help from the chat group.
“Alright.”
Bai Luo said: “Finding Mushan will be my responsibility.”
“Is that alright?”
Wiesmann remembered that Bai Luo initially didn’t want to interfere with Tanjiro’s development.
“Killing Mushan will solve the demon problem at its root.”
“I couldn’t help Tanjiro before because I lacked the ability.”
Originally, Bai Luo was concerned that he wouldn’t be able to catch Mushan.
Combat-wise, not only now but even when he had just crossed over, Bai Luo could easily crush Mushan.
Unfortunately, Bai Luo didn’t have a quick way to find Mushan back then.
If Mushan escaped or sensed Bai Luo’s presence, he would definitely dig a hole and bury himself, hiding for a hundred years.
Also, without understanding space quakes, Bai Luo lacked the ability to traverse dimensions.
“Besides, Little Brother Tanjiro has asked me for help. How can I ignore him?”
“Bai Luo Big Brother…”
Bai Luo’s words deeply moved Tanjiro.
“Thank you so much!”
Tanjiro believed that with Bai Luo’s assistance, the insignificant Mushan would have no choice but to submit and die.
Kurumi Tokisaki: “In that case, does Little Brother Tanjiro need to participate in the exam?”
“One thing at a time.”
Bai Luo: “Improving one’s strength is always good. Since Tanjiro joined the chat group, his future won’t be confined to his world.”
“Hmm.”
Tanjiro: “I want to become stronger! I want to protect Tzudoki!”
After experiencing that tragic night, Tanjiro realized the importance of power.
He wanted to hurt no one.
However, when someone important is in danger, Tanjiro didn’t want to feel powerless again as he did back then.
“Great spirit!”
Bai Luo was pleased and became increasingly interested in the Demon Slayer Corps of the Demon Slayer World.
You can’t say that every member of the Demon Slayer Corps is purely kind-hearted, but those who fight demons with their lives deserve the title of heroes.
Once Bai Luo deals with Mushan, the Demon Slayer Corps can retire and live normal lives.
If they can’t adjust, Bai Luo welcomes them.
Bai Luo: “So let’s confirm the time.”
The flow of time differs across worlds, but after members join the chat group, the speed between worlds begins to synchronize.
Bai Luo believed this was due to the power of the chat group.
Tanjiro: “Here, the exam is still a week away.”
Misaka Mikoto: “That day I happen to be on vacation.”
Kurumi Tokisaki: “Not having school, I can be present anytime.”
Misaka Mikoto: “Old woman, being older doesn’t mean anything, does it?”
Kurumi Tokisaki: “Are you itching for another fight, Sparky?”
Misaka Mikoto: “You brat!”
Arena battles saw Kurumi defeating Misaka multiple times, which made the proud latter quite ashamed and annoyed.
Wiesmann: “Can I bring someone along?”
Bai Luo: “Genos Nitenjiro?”
Wiesmann: “Yeah, I worry he’ll be concerned if I suddenly leave.”
Night Knife God Genos Nitenjiro is like the perfect housewife and mother of the Wiesmann family. With Cat Girl taken away by Bai Luo, he’s the sole affiliate of the Silver Clan.
“There might be a cost in points.”
The Demon Slayer World lacks the Power of Authority, so Genos needs extra points to smooth the way for his passage.
“A week later?”
The army needs some time to march, Esdeath said: “Alright.”
Qian Renxue: “I can also come.”
She, playing the role of Douluo Crown Prince, usually can’t leave, but she can apply to visit other countries.
Taking this opportunity, Qian Renxue also wanted to get out and breathe fresh air.
“I might not have the time.”
Master Abe has to manage Juxialou and is almost always busy.
“You don’t need to stay the whole time.”
Bai Luo said: “The selection lasts three days, and it’s impossible for everyone to stay the entire time.”
“In that case, I have no problem.”
Juxialou closes sometimes, allowing Master Abe to rest.
Bai Luo: “Hmm, then it’s settled.”
After concluding this topic, Bai Luo didn’t speak further but silently observed.
Because of the new members, everyone was very curious about the newcomers’ worlds.
The soul beasts and Battle Spirits of the Douluo World, the Imperial Treasures and Dangerous Species of the Amegakure World, and the superpowers of the Magic Prohibition World.
Each of the three had different thoughts.
Esdeath wanted to fight strong individuals from different worlds.
Misaka Mikoto was purely interested.
Qian Renxue listened while recording information about their worlds, searching for useful elements.
