Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 209 Xuan Mi's Troubles

Tanjiro really likes Rinko, and it's obvious to the naked eye.

Although he had always been worried that the matter of Daki and Rui would create a rift between him and Rinkou, he was once so worried that he felt that only if one of them was pinned to the ground could they have a chance to talk.

But it turned out that the things he worried about seemed to be just excessive concerns that existed only in his heart. In this unexpected meeting, Lingguang did not show the overreaction he expected. It would be better to say that he did not overreact, but was calm and composed in a completely unexpected way.

Tanjiro didn't know if this was because Rinko really didn't care or if she had forgotten about those things once again, but anyway, at least their relationship seemed to be good now, and that was what mattered most….

But some people will be happy about Lin Guang's arrival, while others will be unhappy.

Every time Tanjiro had a happy and heated discussion with Rinko, there was another real permanent victim besides Shinobu Kocho who sat aside and remained silent most of the time, and later simply did not join them and was only responsible for sending them to the door of the room.

Tanjiro's fellow patient and roommate - Fushigawa Genya.

It's like Tanjiro likes Zenitsu or Inosuke to visit him after completing a mission, but Xuanya always thinks they are both noisy.

Xuanya also doesn't like Rinko's daily visits very much.

Tanjiro didn't understand this, just as he was confused about why Shimizu didn't like Rinko.

But Sane didn't like Nezuko before, so he just assumed that Sane simply had a lower affinity for demons. But Xuanya had never shown any dislike for Nezuko before, and Rinko and her had no grudge against each other. In this case, Tanjiro didn't quite understand Xuanya's deliberate indifference towards Rinko.

----

The words are divided into two parts.

Tanjiro doesn't understand why Xuanya doesn't like Rinko.

As for Xuanya, he also didn't understand why Tanjiro could accept a ghost running around the house like this, even an upper-rank ghost!

Although he looks like a child, speaks like a child and has a similar personality, he is actually a ghost.

In the past, at least there were butterflies watching over him, but now this guy is running around the house by himself. Even if he was injected with a special potion made by butterflies, it doesn't affect the fact that this child is still a dangerous and scary upper-rank demon.

What on earth is going on in Tanjiro's head that allows him to be in the same room with someone and even sit on the same bed with them and still be able to smile peacefully?

But if the other party just stayed in Tanjiro's bed and provoked Tanjiro, Xuanya would not express too much opinion. At least Rinko's voice was much gentler than that of the wild boar and the yellow-haired boy, which would allow him to rest in bed and ignore the dangerous scene on the bed next door.

The premise is that the other party is just like that.

But obviously.

It is unrealistic to expect a child to remain obedient and well-behaved, especially when the supervisor has been removed and the supervisor is a ghost.

"Tanjiro said you can eat ghosts, is that true?"

Initially, the question was relatively mild, and although the words were chosen carefully, there was no politeness or tact in what came out.

"Can humans eat ghosts? What do ghosts taste like? Are they delicious? Or are they disgusting?"

"Can you just eat ghosts? You don't even have to eat rice?"

Later, I don’t know if his silence was considered as an act of tacit approval, but such words gradually became more frequent.

"Tanjiro said you could even bite through the Mugen Kagura Tree in Apokazu. Is that true? Won't your teeth fall out?"

"Why are you sleeping all the time? Are you seriously injured?"

Such fragmented and continuous words appeared continuously at Xuan Mi's bedside at a steady frequency. He closed his eyes tightly and pretended that he was still asleep. When the boy turned to the other side of the bed and found that he had his eyes closed, he just lowered his voice, but still kept asking, as if he would not leave until he gave an answer.

Tanjiro, however, did not stop Rinko from harassing him, as if he didn't see anything. He smiled and expressed his feelings in a leisurely tone of an elder.

"It seems that Rinko likes Xuanya too."

Please, who wants to be liked by a ghost?

----

"Tanjiro said you were also seriously injured. Are you so seriously injured that you need to sleep all the time to recover? I used to love sleeping, just like you, going to bed at dawn and not waking up until dark. But Tanjiro said you were sleeping even after dark, so it seems your injury is really serious."

Still endless chatter.

Xuan Mi himself found it unbelievable. It had only been a few days, but such behavior seemed to have become a daily routine in this room.

Rinko would come to the ward to play after dawn, and the curtains would be drawn before that. Sometimes she would stay for a short time and would be taken away after chatting with Tanjiro for a few words. Rinko only had time to say good morning to him and see him later. Sometimes she would stay for a little longer, like now. Butterfly didn't come, and Rinko asked Tanjiro things he didn't know, and after chatting about some meaningless topics, Rinko started to harass him again.

"Tanjiro said that if you eat a demon, you will gain the power of a demon and become like a demon. Well, he didn't quite understand what he said, but anyway, it seems that if you eat a demon, your body will recover quickly, right?"

Xuanya didn't know why Lin Guang brought this up, but the boy's topics always seemed to revolve around ghosts, injuries, recovery, sleep and the like. He was used to hearing it. Anyway, he didn't need to answer, and it didn't matter if he didn't understand. Thinking of this, he just continued to pretend to be asleep to avoid the conversation.

"Why don't you try eating me? They all say I'm very powerful. If you eat me, you'll recover immediately."

"Who wants to eat you?"

"You're not sleeping!"

"what......"

When he realized that he had been seduced by the simplest provocation, it was already too late. The boy had already jumped onto the bed and started asking him questions in a barrage, asking the same questions he had heard over and over again. But this time, Xuan Mi had no chance to pretend not to hear.

----

It was a quiet night. The curtains that were closed during the day were opened at night. The moonlight shone into the house through the glass, casting a long shadow on the vase.

The sound was faint, perhaps it was Tanjiro turning over restlessly after falling asleep, or perhaps it was Xiaokui and the others passing by the corridor.

"Xuan Mi, you'll feel better if you eat one bite."

The gentle tone of voice drifted in the room along with the non-existent wind. It was so light, as if it was an illusion, like a dream, as if one's own imagination had become reality for a moment.

Xuan Mi opened his eyes subconsciously, and saw nothing in front of him. He sat up, and the room was quiet and empty. Only the moonlight dragged his shadow very long and cast it on the wall.

Lin Guang is not in this room, and he will not appear here at this time. At night, free activities are strictly prohibited, and the butterfly will be watching him.

Was it a nightmare... What a terrible dream.
