Xia Yan's tone was somewhat strange.
He truly hadn't expected that Kagaya Ubuyashiki would make such a decision.
Chapter 204 I'll leave the Heavenly Sound to you from now on.
"I know……"
"I knew that from the first time we met."
"After all, Xia Yanjun has always been someone who can openly express his desires and has never tried to hide them..."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki said calmly:
"It is precisely because I know this that I asked Xia Yanjun to go with Tianyin."
"Huh? Could it be that our lord has lost his mind?"
Xia Yan typed a question mark above his head.
He felt that Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who could say such things and do such things, must have some serious illness.
Could it be that the illness was too severe, causing physical weakness, which in turn led to some kind of mental illness?
Or has he awakened some incredible fetish?
If that's the case, he won't be sleepy anymore.
"I'm perfectly sober, and I wasn't joking." Kagaya Ubuyashiki's tone remained calm. "If I were to joke about something like this, it would be disrespectful to you, to me, and to Amane..."
"No, I don't mind. You can increase the intensity a bit."
Xia Yan plopped down next to Kagaya Ubuyashiki and said in an extremely irreverent tone.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki, realizing what he meant, paused for a moment, then laughed.
"Hehe, as expected, Xia Yanjun doesn't shy away from his desires at all."
"So what? What are you up to?"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's question, this man, who always wore a smile and served as the backbone of the Demon Slayer Corps, showed a melancholy expression for the first time.
"You should know about the curse that the Ubuyashiki family carries."
"Because the Demon King Muzan was born into the Ubuyashiki clan, our family's bloodline is cursed. Under normal circumstances, the children born to us will die young. Only by mating with a woman from the priesthood can they barely survive."
"Although children born to women of the Ubuyashiki and Shinto families can live to around thirty years old, that is only the theoretical maximum lifespan."
He was silent for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts.
"The reason I was able to get together with Amane was entirely due to the agreement between the Ubuyashiki family and the Shinto family. Before that, we had never even met."
"Simply because of a strange and inexplicable family agreement, I have to marry a stranger."
"Although Tianyin has never complained over the years and has always taken good care of me, I have already felt very sorry for her by being with me."
"I know my own physical condition. At most, I won't live more than three years. Even if I can kill Muzan Kibutsuji and lift the curse, it won't be any different."
"If someone can take good care of Tianyin after I die, then I can rest in peace..."
After hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Natsuhiko fell silent.
Although he knew that Kagaya Ubuyashiki had always been a considerate person, he never expected him to do something like this.
Xia Yan had a strange feeling, as if...
"Are you implying that you're entrusting your wife and children to someone else?"
"To entrust one's wife and children...?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki repeated the word Natsuhiko had said, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
“Killing Muzan is a mission that our clan is born to bear, and I have no regrets. But Tianyin should have had a complete family and lived a happy life, but instead she married me, a man destined to die young.”
"Consider this the last thing I, as an incompetent husband, can do for her..."
"Moreover, although Tianyin didn't show it, I knew that she actually had feelings for Xia Yanjun as well."
"Ha! Of course, after all, I'm so outstanding, handsome, have a great physique, am strong, and rich."
"Every woman who sees me will be captivated by me!"
Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Natsuhiko replied in a matter-of-fact tone, rather narcissistically.
"Since you've put it that way, the task of protecting Madam Tianyin during her travels is none other than mine!"
"But don't worry, I won't actually have anything with her before you die! Otherwise, it would seem like you're the one giving in to me!"
"I will use my charm to take the beautiful Mrs. Tianyin away from you."
"Phew—actually, I said something like this to you when I first came here. I'm only saying it now, so it's not really a matter of not hiding my desires at all."
"When Mrs. Amane is ready to leave, come find me at the Butterfly House."
"I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now..."
Before he could finish speaking, and before Kagaya Ubuyashiki could say anything more, Natsuhiko's figure vanished in a wisp of wind.
Xia Yan's other requests were not exactly excuses.
After all, Ling Yuzi's head was still in his bag.
He also had to take it home to supplement the remaining seeds with some "nutrition".
You should know that her body was charred to ash by the sun, unlike those minor injuries such as broken hands or feet.
Even if she was a Lower Moon demon, her injuries were extremely serious.
Moreover, unlike Tamayo and Kanae, who only need a little blood to maintain their sanity, Reiyo, although freed from Muzan's control, did not undergo the same physical modifications as Tamayo.
Essentially, they are not much different from ordinary ghosts.
Although leaving it like this won't cause any problems in the short term, prolonged hunger can easily lead to irrationality.
After all, she's already his little maid, so there's no need to be so harsh.
……
"Yaoya...sir..."
As soon as Xia Yan left, Mrs. Tianyin walked out from around the corner with a complicated expression.
The usual coldness and sanctity on his face had vanished, replaced by an expression of guilt.
She had clearly overheard their conversation.
She must have heard Kagaya Ubuyashiki's comment that "she has feelings for Natsuhiko".
However, she wasn't eavesdropping on purpose, since she knew that Kagaya Ubuyashiki had sent her away to prevent her from overhearing their conversation.
Amane was only so surprised when she overheard Kagaya Ubuyashiki saying that he was planning to leave her and Natsuhiko alone to go find the Tokito brothers after she had dropped off Sayo.
"Heavenly Sound? You heard it all."
Upon hearing Amane's words, Kagaya Ubuyashiki paused for a moment, then his usual smile returned.
"I'm sorry for making this arrangement without your consent. But although he's a bit of a womanizer, Xia Yanjun is indeed someone you can entrust your life to..."
"Lord Kagaya, you should rest."
After hearing this, Tenon did not refute it, but simply came over and helped Ubuyashiki Kagaya walk into the room.
Chapter 205 The Not-So-Clever Mrs. Tianyin
Tokyo Prefecture, Hachioji City, Kagenobuyama.
A man and a woman are walking side by side in a grove of trees.
The man was extremely tall, with a strong and well-proportioned physique. He exuded power and did not appear clumsy at all.
His hairstyle is extremely unique.
The hair color transitions from gray and white to navy blue, interspersed with some indigo patterns, making it look like a tornado carrying thunder and lightning.
It seems that due to the extremely stiff texture of the hair, despite being nearly half a meter long, it stubbornly and straightened backward as if defying the law of universal gravitation, without showing any signs of drooping.
His face was exceptionally handsome, with exquisite and delicate features that did not give off any effeminate feeling.
A pair of dark blue eyes, as deep and captivating as the night sky.
In Clash of Clans, her appearance would be such that she could charm tentacles without even achieving a major success.
The woman was slender and had a head of shimmering, snow-white hair. Her skin was as fair as snow and she looked to be around twenty years old. Her slightly aloof demeanor gave people a sense of sacredness that could only be admired from afar and not touched.
It has a kind of inhuman beauty, as if it were an elf that walked out of the birch tree.
But when her gaze inadvertently drifted over the man, her icy pupils showed a slight thawing, turning into a soft light.
If superstitious villagers saw the two walking side by side, they would probably be overwhelmed by their sacred aura and mistakenly believe that they had seen a deity walking in the mountains, and would kneel down in worship.
It was Natsuhiko and Mrs. Amane who had come out to look for the Tokito brothers.
Although they were walking side by side, Mrs. Amane's gaze would always linger on Xia Yan seemingly unintentionally.
Moreover, Mrs. Tianyin would only glance at it each time before quickly looking away, as if she was afraid that looking at it for too long would completely melt her heart, which had only just begun to thaw.
Several times, if Xia Yan hadn't helped him in time, he would have tripped over the tree roots on the ground.
Xia Yan, who outwardly pretended not to notice but secretly kept observing those around him with disdain, was amazed.
I don't think I made any special effort to win over Mrs. Amane.
Most of the time it's just a few flirtatious words when we meet.
How come she's acting like she's got an overwhelmingly positive impression right now?
Judging from this, if I had the will, even in this unfamiliar grove, I could probably take her down on the spot with a bit of coercion.
You hid it quite well when we met before.
It's all because of my irresistible charm...
Thinking of this, Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
After thoroughly bullying the loli maid, Lingyu, Natsuhiko, feeling refreshed after taking a bath, was about to visit the Butterfly Mansion when...
