"Hiss!"
Kamihara Tetsuya's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt a sharp pain, with two lines of bloody tears sliding down the corners of his eyes.
After fighting with two Pillars all night, using his Sharingan with high intensity, he was somewhat unable to bear it.
The two blood-colored tomoe in his eyes dissipated.
The raging fire on Purple Wisteria Mountain had not yet spread here, and escaping the extreme environment of the sea of fire, the irritating sounds disappeared, and the surroundings were silent, making Kamihara Tetsuya feel a sense of comfort and ease.
"Mr. Tetsuya, are you a demon?"
Just as he was dispelling his Crimson Moon skin, a voice as faint as a mosquito suddenly sounded in his ear.
Kamihara Tetsuya stiffly turned his head, and a young girl poked her small head out from the grass not far away, covering her cherry-red mouth with both small hands, her face filled with shock.
Kanzaki Aoi!
Why was she here?
No, that's not the problem right now!
He was seen!
The moment he dispelled his Crimson Moon skin!
Kanzaki Aoi had seen him kill Kaigaku as Yasuo, so it was impossible for her not to recognize him.
He had already passed through the wisteria forest; this was the outer area of Purple Wisteria Mountain, a secluded back mountain, where no demons could possibly escape to, and the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen were still halfway up the mountain, blocked by the raging fire.
Logically, there shouldn't be anyone here!
His mentally exhausted state led to a momentary lapse, so he didn't discover Kanzaki Aoi hiding in the grass.
Not only that, Kanzaki Aoi was a swordsman who knew Breathing Technique, so controlling her aura was incredibly easy.
Facing Kamihara Tetsuya's astonished, disbelieving gaze, Kanzaki Aoi said in a flustered tone, "Mr. Tetsuya, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Demon Yasuo suddenly appeared, and I was truly worried about your safety. I couldn't find you at the shrine, so I came to the back mountain to look…"
Because Kamihara Tetsuya had not returned for a long time, coupled with the appearance of the extremely brutal Yasuo.
Kanzaki Aoi mistakenly thought that Kamihara Tetsuya had encountered danger or an accident. After searching nearby, she risked her life to pass through the sea of fire and came to the back mountain to search.
Seeing Yasuo suddenly rush out of the sea of fire, Kanzaki Aoi was too scared to move, hiding in the grass and using everything she had learned to control her aura with Breathing Technique.
She just didn't expect that when the bloody light dissipated, the face hidden beneath that white bone mask was Kamihara Tetsuya!
A deathly silence fell between the two.
Kanzaki Aoi lowered her head, her mind racing.
Kamihara Tetsuya, who saved lives and healed injuries!
Yasuo, who cruelly murdered!
She couldn't connect these two in any way.
But seeing it with her own eyes, she had no choice but to believe!
Kamihara Tetsuya was the heinous Demon Yasuo, a demon comparable to an Upper Rank!
That is to say, the person who killed Kaigaku and fought with Muichiro Tokito and Uzui Tengen was Kamihara Tetsuya.
Going back further, the Yasuo Mr. Rengoku Kyoujurou encountered, yes, Kamihara Tetsuya was also there!
How did Kamihara Tetsuya overcome the sun?
And the most important thing, Yasuo, which is Kamihara Tetsuya, killed Lady Kocho Kanae…
But Kamihara Tetsuya was also the most excellent physician at Butterfly Mansion; she had personally seen him save countless people.
For a moment, countless pieces of information surfaced in Kanzaki Aoi's mind, making it a chaotic mess that she couldn't process.
It was the same in Kamihara Tetsuya's mind.
Should he kill Kanzaki Aoi?
Because of his connection with Kocho Kanae, Kamihara Tetsuya tried his best not to kill Kanae's friends.
But the premise was that these people posed no threat to him!
More Demon Slayer Corps reinforcements had already arrived; if Kanzaki Aoi ran out and shouted, he would be finished.
Whoosh!
Kanzaki Aoi was the first to draw her nichirin blade, "I am a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman…"
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed deep in Kamihara Tetsuya's eyes. How should he explain this to Kochou Shinobu?
Demon Yasuo caused chaos during the Final Selection, and Kanzaki Aoi dying from an accident could be explained away.
But with Kocho Kanae…
[I hope you can become friends with them too!]
Kamihara Tetsuya couldn't help but recall when Kocho Kanae told him about Butterfly Mansion's information.
Kocho Kanae's face was beaming with a joyful smile. Even though she was very sleepy, she still enthusiastically told him the names and personalities of the staff at Butterfly Mansion.
She treated the people at Butterfly Mansion like family.
Soul Manipulation: Whimsical Metamorphosis!
Kamihara Tetsuya subtly moved his right hand behind his back, his arm transforming into a blade, emanating a dangerous cold glint, his body perfectly blocking Kanzaki Aoi's line of sight.
If Kanzaki Aoi attacked, she would be the one to die!
Just then, Kanzaki Aoi's action greatly surprised Kamihara Tetsuya.
Clang!
Kanzaki Aoi let go, and her nichirin blade fell to the ground.
Kamihara Tetsuya's eyes narrowed. Did she know she couldn't beat him, so she deliberately showed weakness, looking for a chance to survive?
Subsequently, Kamihara Tetsuya secretly shook his head, denying his own guess, thinking he was being too dark.
If Kanzaki Aoi had that ability, she wouldn't have spoken just now; instead, she would have stayed hidden in the grass.
"I can't do it!"
Kanzaki Aoi said with a pained expression, "Even if Mr. Tetsuya is a demon, you are still my savior!"
When she was surrounded by a dozen demons, her life hanging by a thread, it was Kamihara Tetsuya who descended from the sky.
He killed those demons, striking fear into their hearts!
That strong back was deeply etched in her mind.
Kanzaki Aoi seemed to grasp at her last straw, "There must be a reason for you to do this! Even the matter of killing Lady Kanae…"
Kamihara Tetsuya's tense expression softened, and he dispelled his Blood Demon Art: Whimsical Metamorphosis, his blade returning to an arm.
"This is a long story."
Kamihara Tetsuya said in a low voice, there was no time to explain so much to Kanzaki Aoi now.
"Why am I so foolish? How could Mr. Tetsuya, with his strength, possibly encounter danger?" Kanzaki Aoi knelt on the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, and she cried with a choked voice.
If she could do it again, she would rather not have run to the back mountain to look for Kamihara Tetsuya.
She didn't want to hurt Kamihara Tetsuya, but she knew that Kamihara Tetsuya was Demon Yasuo.
Everything was over!
She didn't have Kamihara Tetsuya's acting skills or ability; she simply couldn't hide it from the strong members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Take Kochou Shinobu, for example.
When she returned to Butterfly Mansion, any unintentional abnormality she showed would definitely be noticed by Kochou Shinobu.
Kamihara Tetsuya walked forward and gently patted her delicate back, comforting the girl, "Forget all of this, just pretend nothing ever happened!"
"I can't do it!" Kanzaki Aoi shook her small head like a rattle, her voice choked.
She couldn't possibly forget the fact that Kamihara Tetsuya was Yasuo.
She and Kamihara Tetsuya, one of them had to leave the Demon Slayer Corps, otherwise Kamihara Tetsuya would definitely be exposed because of her and then be besieged by the Demon Slayer Corps.
It was her foolishness that harmed both her and Kamihara Tetsuya.
Kamihara Tetsuya's voice was steady and strong, "You can do it. I will help you!"
"How?"
Kanzaki Aoi looked up in confusion, and at that moment, her gaze met his blood-red eyes.
Kamihara Tetsuya's eyes surged with crimson blood-light, and two blood-colored tomoe spun wildly.
In the deepest part of his pupils, a third blood-colored tomoe was nurtured, emitting an unprecedentedly brilliant blood-red glow.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
