Chapter 1 Zhenzhen , why are you so slow today ?​​​

On dark and windy nights , evil spirits roam .

In the dim alley , a silver- haired young man struggled to thrust a long knife into the neck of the evil ghost on the ground .

Watching the evil ghost gradually turn into ashes , he breathed a sigh of relief , drew out his long sword , put it back into the scabbard , looked up at the night sky that appeared in the corner of the house , and estimated the time .

It seems like dawn is almost here .

A hint of sleepiness appeared between his handsome brows . He yawned , hung the knife back on his waist , and walked outside .

The people at the entrance of the alley had been waiting for a long time .

Seeing the young man coming out , he leaned over lazily and hummed , " Let 's go back ? "

Both of them were wearing team uniforms with the words " Evil Demon Slayer " on them . The one with long silver hair was thinner , while the other had blue hair and had strange stitches on his face .

" Hey , why don't we go get something to eat before going back ? It 's almost dawn anyway . "

" Hmm ? You 'll be discovered by the water column again . He 'll give you some extra training . "

" All right . "

Uroba Nagisa sighed . Although Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu usually didn't care much about them , if they were caught neglecting their duties , their training would be doubled .

The training was really tiring , and he just wanted to lie in the warm sunshine .

I 'll go back and have a good sleep . When I wake up, I'll get up and eat . I 'll watch the new members of the Volunteer Corps training , and then wait for the sun to go down and patrol with the real people .

The base was not far from here , and at dawn , the two returned to the base .

Early in the morning , the leaves on the grass were still covered with the cold dew of the night , and a group of new team members ran towards the mountain panting .

Holding hands with the real person , Bo Yezhu watched the figures disappear into the distance , sighing , " It's incredible to think that I also got up this early to run three years ago . "

The real person pinched his palm and whispered , " Because I carried you on my back at that time . "

The silver-haired young man was silent for a moment , then said confidently , " You're in better shape than me , so you should train more ! "

The people around him did n't refute , but just said " hmm " .

Giyu Tomioka stood not far away holding a knife , acting as a water pillar . He followed the training of the new team members synchronously . The formal training would only begin after the new team members finished their warm-up run and came back .

Seeing two people walking in hand in hand through the gate , his gaze paused , and Bo Ye Zhu also saw him and greeted him happily .​

Tomioka Giyu nodded .​​

Then I watched the two of them walk towards their accommodation hand in hand .

Uroba Nagisa and Tomioka Giyu are classmates . Three years have passed , and he is still slacking off in the Sin - class team , while Tomioka Giyu has become a capable team leader .

The others of the same period were of varying quality , and Bo Ye Zhu seemed unremarkable .

The crow flapped its wings and reported to him about tonight 's patrol . An evil ghost appeared , and team member Bo Yezhu and Zhenren worked together to kill it .

On the other side , Bo Ye Zhu muttered that he had met an evil ghost and his body was dirty , so he pulled Zhenren to take a bath .

The real person patted his head and said , " You go ahead . I 'll go back to my room to get some clothes . "

The two of them shared a room , and they only had a few styles of clothes , which were classified and stacked in two cabinets , one side for Bo Yezhu 's and the other side for Zhenren 's .

Bo Ye Zhu has a thinner figure , so her clothes need to be smaller to fit her - compared to a real person .

Zhenren opened the cabinet door on Bo Yezhu 's side , and the scent of soap accompanied by the sun blew in his face . He flipped through the folded clothes and frowned slightly .

Last time it seemed that Bo Yezhu took the clothes himself . This time the closet was a little messy , and Zhenren patiently took out the clothes and folded them one by one .

I also have to pick out a set of clothes that Bo Ye Zhu wants to wear and put them aside .

Because he needed to sleep , he picked out a long shirt and trousers suitable for daily life . They were pure white , and the buttons were originally small wooden discs . Bo Yezhu was a little annoyed by the way the buttons rubbed his skin , so Zhenren changed them to ropes .

In fact, the weight of the wooden button is about the same as that of the plastic button . It’s just that Bo Ye Zhu was bored and was looking for a job for real people .

Although Zhenren had never done needlework before , he had lived with Bo Yezhu for several years and learned a lot about it . Bo Yezhu was very reckless when he first started training and often wore out his clothes .

Unable to find an extra suitable team uniform at the moment , Zhenren silently sewed up the torn hole for him .

Then you will receive a lot of praise from Bo Ye Zhu .

If people in the past had seen him sewing clothes for others , they would probably have said that he had been possessed by someone else .

After gathering his thoughts , he arranged the clothes , keeping the edges and corners almost at the same level , before closing the cabinet door .

As for his own , he casually took out the same style of long shirt and trousers , put the clothes of both of them on his hands , stood up and walked out of the room , closed the door , and walked towards the bathroom .

In the smoky bathroom , long silver hair was floating on the small bathtub .​​

The young man had fair skin , and he leaned his head against the edge , showing off his superior facial features . His long silver -gray eyelashes drooped , as if he was half asleep .

Hearing the noise , he raised his chin , looked over the curtain , and asked , " Zhenzhen seems a little slow ? "​

" The clothes in your closet are all messed up . I folded them neatly for you . " Zhenren put the clean clothes on the shelf , then bent down to pick up the team uniform that Bo Yezhu had casually thrown on the ground .

Sighing , the real person said to the other side of the door curtain : " Why does Azhu always throw clothes around ? " Obviously , at the beginning , he was very self - conscious .

Is he really spoiled ?​

On the other side , Bo Yezhu moved the water and , upon hearing this , a smile rang out : " Hey , did n't you take care of it ? Let me experience the feeling of being served . "

Zhenren didn't dwell on this topic . After putting his clothes away , he unbuttoned his own team uniform and put it together with Bo Yezhu 's team uniform , leaving only his inner shirt on .

The door curtain was lifted , and Bo Yezhu was humming a tune , her long silver hair floating on the water , and the mist shrouded her skin , making her look more hazy .

He tilted his head back , his Adam's apple exposed to the air , and the water droplets meandered down , flowed over his collarbone , and then disappeared into the water .

When I opened my eyes , I saw a pair of orange - yellow eyes .

" I just washed my hair . " He sat up a little straighter and looked at the real person on the other side who was taking off his clothes and going into the water .

The other person 's body was much stronger than his , with neat abdominal muscles and several sutures running through it , like scars .

Then it disappeared into the water .

Bo Ye Zhu leaned over and smiled at his strange eyes . " Our mission tonight seems to be quite close to Tokyo Prefecture . Why don't we go for a walk ? "

Before he could even glance at the notice about the mission location , the real person wiped the water off the young man's cheek and said , " Sure . There seems to be some performance going on there soon . "

" That's right ! I heard there will be fireworks ! " Bo Ye Zhu's eyes lit up . " And when I came here just now , I ran into Yin . They said Shui Zhu has to train new members overnight and definitely wo n't have time to take care of us . "

" Are you still afraid of the water column ? " Zhenren grabbed Bo Yezhu 's hand that was groping around underwater .

" I do n't want to practice extra with a bunch of kids . " Bo Yezhu smiled and pulled his hand back .

The average age of the Demon Slayer Corps members is really not high . People like them who have been in the team for three years , although they are only 20 years old , are already considered veterans . It's really sad .

But to be honest , the past three years have been much calmer , and I always feel that it is a sign of impending storm .

The Pillars seem to be going on missions less frequently , spending more time training new team members .​​​

Thinking of this , Bo Ye Zhu began to recall his peers . He originally thought that he and Zhenren were slacking off , but he didn't expect that there were people in his peers who were even worse than them .

It’s still a dish that’s made with sincerity , and it makes both of them look decent .

If there had not been any powerful evil spirits in recent years , those of varying quality at the same time would probably not have survived until now .

He laughed and went to tease the real person again .

Then he was pressed to the edge of the hot spring , unable to move , and could only beg for mercy .

The gray-blue eyes reflected the young man's silver -white hair and the equally white back . The real person could n't count how many times he sighed , but still let Bo Yezhu go .

Bo Yezhu was really sleepy . The patrol mission started in the evening and ended at dawn . After nearly twelve hours , he felt sleepy .​​

After all, he doesn't have the physique of a real person .

The real person touched his drooping eyelids and said , " If you 're tired , go back to sleep . I 'll clean up and then go back . "

Bo Yezhu responded with " hmm " , and after a moment , he stood up and walked out dripping wet .

Perhaps it was the steaming mist that made his thoughts a little confused . He stretched his limbs , dried himself , picked up clothes from the rack and put them on , yawned , pushed open the door and walked into the room .

Five minutes later , the real person fell into silence as he looked at the piece of cloth that had disappeared .

Bo Ye Zhu is already a habitual offender .

The real person took a breath and sighed again that it was a good thing that he was wearing a cos real person . He silently made his body smaller and then started to wash clothes .

— —Even four hands were created to wash together .​

Wuwei transformation is really useful .

By the way , the plot of Demon Slayer is about to begin this year .

Zhenren seemed to be lost in thought , but thinking did not interfere with his work . He quickly cleaned up the bathroom , then took their clothes outside to dry .

He did n't remember much about the details of the plot , but the evil spirit he encountered this morning was something he might not encounter once a month .

The new batch of team members has been training for a while , and it will probably be soon before Urokodaki Sakonji asks Tanjiro to participate in the selection .

He has no interest in killing Muzan Kibutsuji . His only worry is that after the main storyline begins , the number of demons will increase and Nagisa Usuga might be injured .​

If ghosts that he normally only encounters once a month become a daily occurrence , it would be really bad news for Bo Ye Zhu .

The sun was shining , and the real person lowered his eyes , hesitating whether to improve Bo Ye Zhu 's strength or to protect Bo Ye Zhu every step of the way .

The former certainly looks good , but no one can guarantee whether Nagisa Usuga meets an ordinary demon or Muzan Kibutsuji .​​​​​

By then, no matter how much he trains , it will be a drop in the bucket .

It’s better for me to stay by Azhu ’s side and protect her every step of the way .

The real person raised his eyes , the sunlight fell on his face , and his gray -blue eyes flashed with an unfriendly light .

Killing Muzan Kibutsuji would be a permanent solution , but Muzan was killed by Yoriichi Tsugakuni once , so he had already hidden himself well , unless he followed Tanjiro .​​​​

Otherwise it would be impossible to find him .

The door behind him opened , and Bo Yezhu poked his head out : " Zhenzhen , why are you so slow today ? "

The real person turned around and smiled : " Right away . "

But the next second , he stopped smiling and said , " Azhu , your hair is n't dry yet . "

Uzumaki Nagisa : …​​

" You can't go to bed until your hair is dry . " The real person smiled .

The morning sun was still a little chilly , so the real person did n't let Bo Yezhu dry his hair outside . Instead , he took a dry cloth and wiped Bo Yezhu 's long silver hair .

The young man leaned in his arms , soon fell into a daze , and let him wipe his hair .

The physical strength of the cursed spirit is several times that of a human being , and it will not be tired by this little effort .

By the time the shiny silver-white hair was dried , more than an hour had passed . The person in his arms had found a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep .

The real person put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt .

Perhaps because of the change in posture , Bo Ye Zhu opened his hazy eyes and rang out in a hoarse voice : " Do n't you want to sleep with me ? "

" I 'll pack my things . " The real person put the wet towel aside and touched the young man's head , which was still slightly wet , soothingly .

Bo Ye Zhu also understood his own Zhen Zhen 's physical condition , so he pulled the quilt up , covered his head and continued to sleep .

Sleeping is a wonderful thing . He used to like sleeping very much . His consciousness fell into darkness and he had no feelings at all . Occasionally , he would have bizarre dreams .

At that time, Bo Yezhu slept for most of the day . Now he felt sleepy and it seemed that he could never get enough sleep .

On rare occasions , he would go out to buy necessities .

It was by chance that he picked up a real person , and the courtyard had another companion .

Bo Ye Zhu dreamed about what happened a few years ago .

In the dream , he was still fifteen or sixteen years old . The old servant who took care of him left with some money , and he was left alone in the courtyard .

When he woke up , he found that no one was in the room . Looking at the cabinets that had been turned upside down , he understood most of what was going on .

The moon was at its zenith and the city was still bustling . The silver-haired boy was a little hesitant because of hunger , and finally chose the latter between poisoning himself by cooking and going out for a meal .

As soon as I opened the yard door, I saw the child lying at the gate .

He had three braids of blue hair and his eyes were closed . His facial features looked good , except for the seams on his face . He was wearing a plaid shirt that looked a bit too big .

Bo Yezhu picked up the child and took him home , then went to the street corner to buy some food .

The dream was intermittent , and Bo Ye Zhu seemed to be a bystander , watching his every move .

I can’t remember what happened afterwards , and my consciousness fell into chaos again .

After finishing everything , the real person lay down beside Bo Yezhu . The silver-haired young man immediately came up to him unconsciously , and the real person held his waist to prevent him from moving any further .

The silver- haired man rubbed his head and returned to a calm state .
