Chapter 199: Chapter 34: Brother, for me
There are still many problems with Kyōjurō Rengoku.
Kotori Itsuka also gave her answers one by one.
If you really can't give a reasonable explanation, then implant non-existent memories into your cheap brother.
Perhaps because he didn't want to doubt his sister from the bottom of his heart, Kyōjurō Rengoku did not question her answer and believed almost everything she said.
As for the fact that her sister was actually a Demons that had been lurking around him for more than ten years, he accepted it without much hesitation.
Compared to the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps, his hatred for demons is not as strong.
He became the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps only to take his father's place, hoping that his efforts could impress his long-depressed father.
If Kotori Itsuka was a man-eating evil Demons, he would still be struggling with how to make a choice.
But now, the Demon Slayer Corps has formed an alliance with Ratatoskr, and Kotori Itsuka no longer needs to eat humans, so he doesn't need to consider whether to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.
But, to be honest, there's no point in considering it.
What can a powerful demon who had just beaten up the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps one by one and even spared himself not long ago use to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice?
So Kyōjurō Rengoku was soon relieved.
"I won't tell anyone about this, including my father and the lord."
After digesting all the information he had learned from Kotori Itsuka, Kyōjurō Rengoku pondered for a moment and said, "Telling everyone will only bring unnecessary trouble."
More importantly, there's no point in telling them.
Ratatoskr Fire Demon is the Flame Pillar sister?
Even if other people knew, what good would it be?
Because of the relationship, the relationship between the two organizations can be deepened?
After forming an alliance, the relationship between Ratatoskr and the Demon Slayer Corps has become close enough.
Next, we just need to carry out the plan step by step, and as long as the plan is successful, Muzan will surely be successfully defeated in the near future.
At that time, there would be no meaning for the Demon Slayer Corps to exist.
Therefore, it doesn't really make much sense to tell other people that Kotori Itsuka is a Demons.
"I thought that with your straightforward and serious personality, you would definitely choose to make my affairs public." Kotori Itsuka looked at him with some surprise, "It seems that you have finally come to your senses and become a little smarter."
Listening to Kotori Itsuka somewhat harsh comments about himself, Kyōjurō Rengoku felt a little weird.
Although he already knew why his sister's personality changed, he still wasn't used to the current Kotori Itsuka.
As if she saw Kyōjurō Rengoku embarrassment, Kotori Itsuka chuckled and then changed her headband to a white one.
Although it is just a small change, the temperament has changed significantly.
"Then I'll leave the secret to Onii-chan~"
Seeing the familiar Kotori Itsuka returning, Kyōjurō Rengoku nodded subconsciously.
Seeing this, Kotori Itsuka smiled sweetly.
"Well, brother, since you know my identity, I don't need to go home with you, right?" Kotori Itsuka said, "The upper ranks are nearby, and Muzan must know that my pals and I are in Asakusa. I need to remind them."
Ratatoskr, there are actually very few truly high-level combat forces.
Dazai Osamu, who drank a large amount of purified Muzan blood, is probably only at the lower level of strength, and for the sake of the final battle, his ability of blood demon art must not be exposed.
After a period of training and their own efforts, the combined combat power of the Kamado brothers and sisters is now considered to be in the middle among the pillars.
Tamayo and Yushiro have no fighting ability at all.
If Muzan chooses to attack Ratatoskr base in Asakusa, the men he had recruited with great difficulty would most likely be wiped out.
Even if he doesn't do it himself, he can achieve the same effect by just putting the upper string there.
Now that she knew that Muzan Kibutsujihad set his sights on Asakusa, it was impossible for Kotori Itsuka to sit idly by.
Now, both Ratatoskr and the Demon Slayer Corps still need some time to develop.
Therefore, in order to prevent the final battle from taking place before full preparations are made, she must go back to take her subordinates, relocate their positions, and bring them to a safe place.
"Of course, go ahead."
Kyōjurō Rengoku naturally had no reason to refuse this request.
The only reason he had planned to bring Kotori Itsuka back to Tokyo tonight was simply because Asakusa might become dangerous.
But that was before knowing that Enma was Kotori Itsuka.
Now that he knew his sister's hidden identity, there was no need for him to bring her back to the Rengoku family mansion in Tokyo.
Of all the people and Demons he had ever met, his sister was undoubtedly the strongest.
If even she can't protect herself from the Demons , then there is probably no one in this world who can stop Muzan.
"Kotori, are you 100% sure that you can defeat Muzan?"
Just after the two said goodbye to each other, Kyōjurō Rengoku, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and asked one last question.
"Of course I can take care of Muzan in just a few moves!" Kotori Itsuka waved her fist which seemed to have no lethality. "Whether it's Ratatoskr or the Demon Slayer Corps, I will protect everyone!"
"What about you?" Kyōjurō Rengoku asked seriously, "You'll be fine, right?"
Not long ago, he would not care about the consequences of the battle between Enma and Muzan.
But now it's different.
After knowing that Enma was his sister, and that his sister was going to have a final battle with the Demon Slayer Corps' thousand-year-old enemy, he couldn't help but worry about the safety of Kotori Itsuka.
When faced with Kyōjurō Rengoku question, Kotori Itsuka did not answer immediately.
Will she be okay?
Of course she'll be fine.
Just as she said, a mere Muzan Kibutsuji posed no threat to her.
only...
After completing the main quest, she will leave this world.
But even if she leaves this world, her ties to it will not disappear.
Therefore, even if she revealed her identity to Kyōjurō Rengoku in advance, she would still need to fake her death and escape from the battle with Muzan Kibutsuji.
This is the most reasonable ending.
"My opponent is the ancestor of all demons." Kotori Itsuka said frankly, "No matter who it is, it's impossible for anyone to have the confidence of winning against this guy, right?"
"That's what I said..."
"If I really fail then, please brother..."
Kotori Itsuka paused, raised her fist, and said with a smile.
"For my sake, use Breath of Fire on him."
