Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 225 Ganlu Temple

"Huh?! Mr. Purgatory?! Why are you here all of a sudden?! Don't you still have training?!"

The sound came from far away, or more precisely, from behind him, farther away than the person carrying him. His covered ears were not as sensitive as before, and he could not clearly distinguish the details of the sound.

This visit was an unplanned one.

The initiator was Kyojuro, and the one who was forced to participate was Rinkou. Although making a plan at the last minute was considered impolite even for Rinkou, the other party was Kyojuro, so Rinkou didn't mind. The other party also said that this time he just wanted to take him to meet a very good person.

Rinko had no resistance to this part. Kyojuro was a very good person, and the good things he said were only true. Maybe he would gain one more friend because of this, this was Rinko's idea.

What is surprising is that the preparations for this trip are so grand.

Unlike the rough way Rinkou was brought back, where a box and a rope were enough, this time Rinkou was cleaned up from head to toe. The box was specially renovated by Urokodaki, the gag was newly made, and even the clothes on his body were specially found by Shinobu according to his habits, in a larger size. This was Rinkou's own habit. Larger clothes always gave him a subtle sense of security. Although Shinobu didn't quite understand, he still respected his opinion.

As he put on the gag and prepared to get into the box, he was stopped by Kyojuro again. Strips of cloth were wrapped around his head, almost as if he was bandaging a wound, but in fact he was just blindfolding his eyes, and paper strips were stuffed into his ears. Rinko could only slightly distinguish the direction of the sound, and could not even hear clearly what the other party was saying. The bottom of the box was paved with wisteria flowers, so when Kyojuro carried him on his back, Rinko could hardly make out anything. Where he was, where he was going, where he was currently, he could not make out anything. In the dim space, the only thing that could be heard was his own heartbeat and the fragrance of wisteria flowers.

Despite this, his hearing was still slightly intact. He could hear voices coming from far away. The high-pitched tone was obviously not Shinobu's style. Emotionally, he and Kyojuro seemed to be from the same school. However, such a gentle voice could not come from Kyojuro's throat. It was the voice of a girl, a girl he had never seen before.

"Hmm! Yes! We were supposed to be training! But starting today, Rinkou was allowed to join the training plan! So I brought him here first! Isn't Kanroji always regretful for missing out?"

It was Kyojuro's voice. Even though it was blurry, Rinkou could still make it out. This confirmed his suspicions. That wasn't Kyojuro, but perhaps it was the very good person Kyojuro had mentioned. It sounded very similar to Kyojuro...

The box was lifted up and then put down, and Lin Guang almost didn't feel it. When it was lifted up, his head didn't hit the wooden board above his head, and when it was dropped, his tailbone didn't hit the bottom floor under his feet. His movements were much more careful than Shiya's.

"Hey hey hey hey hey!!! Is that Rinko in that box?! How can it fit in such a small box?!"

The girl's voice came from far away until now, and the last voice seemed to come from not far away outside the door, close, very close.

The thudding sound came from above the head, and the vibration was transmitted throughout the body through the connected wooden boards. It was as if someone was knocking on the wooden board with a top.

"Rinko, it's about to open!"

It was Kyojuro, asking and reminding.

Lin Guang nodded subconsciously, then realized that the other party couldn't see him, so he tried to say "hmm", but because his mouth was blocked, the sound seemed a little muffled.

The next sound came from the wooden board in front of him, two light knocks, perhaps to help him confirm the location of the door. When the small wooden door was opened, Lin Guang didn't know, because the sound was too light and he couldn't be sure. He subconsciously looked up in that direction, wanting to confirm whether the door was open, but before he made any sound or stretched out his hand, a pair of hands told him that the door had been opened.

Because those hands easily lifted him out of the box.

"Wow!!! Little Rinko!! So cute!!"

This was definitely not anyone Rinkou knew.

Because no one would treat him like this, not Kyojuro and Shinobu, and certainly not Tanjiro and the others. Maybe they would pick him up, but they wouldn't lift him up so high like this. He could feel the wind passing through his palms the moment they were lifted up, and he seemed to be lifted very high. As the sound of surprise rang out, he could feel him being lifted up in the air and spinning around, as if he was just a harmless rag doll.

These hands were obviously very strong, but the hands themselves were not big. They really looked like a girl's palms, with soft and warm palms. When they lifted him up, it was like lifting a fragile kitten, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

He is cheerful and enthusiastic, yet gentle and considerate. He is indeed very much like Kyojuro and is indeed a very good person.

Although Rinko could feel the tremendous strength contained in those two arms when being hugged, it almost reminded Rinko of Douma for the first time in a long time. Every time Douma hugged him, it seemed as if he had forgotten how strong he was, and how fragile his bones were. He would not be satisfied until he heard the bones break.

But Douma always did it on purpose, and now, Rinko couldn't detect the girl's malicious intentions.

"Yeah, yeah." (Rin, Hikaru)

Anyway, he tried to introduce himself first.

The girl seemed to have finally come back to her senses from her surprise and realized how rude her actions were. Lin Guang felt himself being put down in an instant. He was a little slow to react when his feet touched the ground. The voice in front of him suddenly retreated far away. He tilted his head, confused and bewildered.

"This is Kanroji! He used to be my stepson, and now he's the Love Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps! He's an excellent person!"

Rinko was taken over by Kyojuro, the tissues blocking his ears were taken away, and the cloth covering his eyes was finally removed. The long darkness made Rinko's eyes almost hurt by the light outside the moment he opened his eyes. The change from a blurry world to a clear world also made him a little uncomfortable.

Lin Guang blocked his eyes for a while before he adjusted to the world he controlled. He looked up and saw the person who had just picked him up. As he expected, it was a girl.

A very beautiful girl, with rare pink hair, the ends of which were a vibrant green, and two big pigtails hanging at her sides. Her face was full of embarrassment at the moment, and a blush was floating on her fair face.

"No! I'm so sorry! I couldn't help myself because Rinkou was so cute! It was so rude!! My name is Kanroji Mitsuri! Nice to meet you!"

Lin Guang looked at Mitsuri bowing deeply to express her apology, and tilted his head slightly. He wanted to explain, but the bamboo joints stuck in his teeth and lips did not allow him to do so. After a brief thought, he bent down and bowed like Mitsuri.

"Hmmmmmmmm——" (Please give me your guidance since this is our first meeting.)

"Ahhh! What a cute child! Just like a doll!"
