Chapter 79: ch77
Under the moonlit night, Makomo happily followed Sam, soon walking shoulder to shoulder with him.
Sam said nothing; he was thinking about where to go first.
The closest place, without hesitation, is a small town located thirty miles due west of Shadow Peak as shown on the map.
He had heard that there seemed to be girls who had been mysteriously disappearing at night recently.
Suspected of demons.
Then there is a commercial road forty miles due east of Shadow Peak. It's said that every time someone stays overnight, there are sounds like howling ghosts and wolves.
Also, in the northeast direction of Shadow Peak...
...
"Sam, actually I've always felt that you, as a demon, are a little different from other demons."
Makomo tilted her head, looking at him with those expressive eyes.
Her eyelashes blinked slightly, and when she smiled, her eyes would unconsciously narrow, revealing a nice gap.
According to anime conventions, girls who can squint their eyes are generally characterized as mysterious or enchanting.
For example, Tu Shan Rongrong, the second master of Tu Shan in the anime "Fox Fairy Little Matchmaker."
Or, now, Makomo in front of him.
Because, when she squints her eyes, it's really cute.
"It's different, aren't they all demons?"
Sam turned his head and looked at Makomo.
When he saw the beautiful little dimples that appeared when she smiled, and her squinting eyelashes that blinked like stars, there was always a special emotion in his heart.
The golden pupils blinked slightly, and a strong desire suddenly appeared.
A longing for beautiful things.
The desire to have all the beautiful things.
This is a common human trait.
Similarly, Sam, who is a demon, also has it.
"That is, I feel that you are different from the demons our master taught us about," Makomo said naturally.
"The master told us that demons are the product of sorrow. They used to be humans, but they degenerated into demons. They couldn't suppress their instincts and became monsters who only know bloodthirstiness."
"As for you, Sam, Makomo can't feel this at all. You seem like a very gentle demon, who can't eat people or drink human blood. Moreover, if we use human words to describe you, you're a good guy and a girl's favorite."
Makomo shared her impression of Sam.
Hearing Makomo's words, Sam couldn't help turning his eyes sideways. He didn't expect Makomo to view him like this.
"Sam, are all other demons as gentle as you?"
If other demons were like Sam, Makomo thinks, there would be no need for the Demon Slayer Corps to hunt demons."
The girl shared her opinion, as well as the place where she was most puzzled.
If demons are as gentle as Sam, why kill them so cruelly?
"No..."
Sam turned his eyes sideways and looked at Makomo seriously. She was an innocent girl who had never been in contact with the outside world. She had the purest dreams and thought of everything beautifully.
"Demons are different."
Sam looked at Makomo and said quietly, "Become a demon, become stronger, and the nature of a demon makes them forget what they should hold onto as a human being."
"So, don't have innocent dreams about demons, because if you have expectations for them, you may lose your own life."
Makomo tilted her head and looked at the 'demon.'
Sam is a demon, but he tells her to beware of demons.
What a strange demon.
However, he is a very good demon.
If all the demons in the world were like Sam, my senior brothers and sisters wouldn't have died on Mount Sagiri.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Why can't other demons be as gentle as Sam?
"In the future, when you meet other demons, you must be careful and prudent, and don't have any unrealistic fantasies about them."
He looked at Makomo and advised: "Like your deceased brothers and sisters."
"Demons are not gentle. They walk in the dark and avoid the light, and their hearts will unknowingly fall into the abyss of evil. Slowly, they will lose the persistence that came from once being human and become monsters that only seek to become stronger."
He warned Makomo.
The golden eyes, with a strong warning, were like a brother's concern for his sister, like a father's love for his daughter...
"I understand, Sam."
Makomo nodded.
"Okay."
Sam nodded and took Makomo to the west: "I will show you what a demon of this world is like."
