Chapter 68: It’s all for you
'No, no.'
Isao quickly threw all of the bad thoughts away from his mind. He shouldn't think of something dirty in his mind, especially when he had decided to become a good person.
While the definition of a good person in his dictionary was quite ambiguous, and some people even often misunderstood him, he had never done anything wrong after he had decided to become one.
Isao had never done anything that would cause the death of others or even threatened others.
Moreover, he had helped many people, and compared to others who used their everything for their own gain, he had never done so; he even joined the Demon Slayer Corps, a dangerous profession that might take his life away even though his future was great.
Not only did he have a powerful body, beautiful women by his side, cute children in the future, and even an unlimited amount of wealth, yet even with such a future, instead of being afraid of death and enjoying his life in debauchery, he had decided to help the Demon Slayer Corps to destroy the demon from this world.
If he wasn't a good guy, then what was he?
As for the demon and Tanjiro?
Isao thought it was time to meet them all and destroy them. Ah, he meant to destroy the demon, not Tanjiro.
Still, the plot had changed as Tengen had died, so would Tanjiro have a happy family this time?
Hopefully, since Isao had to admit that Tanjiro's life was quite pitiful.
If there was something great about Tanjiro, it was the fact that he still had his little sister and sweet wife, Kanao Tsuyuri, who accompanied him until his death.
While Isao thought of many strange things, Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma hoped that Isao could help them to avenge their dead husband. Their husband had died, and they hoped for the Demon Slayer Corps to work together to avenge their dead husband, but Kagaya didn't wish to have a conflict with the demon until Isao came and joined.
The power of the demon, especially the Upper Rank, couldn't be underestimated. Even the weakest Upper Rank could kill Tengen, one of the Hashira, so before Isao came, Kagaya decided to set up everyone to do training to become stronger.
Everyone also agreed that their battle with the demon wouldn't be easy from now on, and they had to become stronger. Moreover, while they hated it, they knew that compared to Isao, they were all weak, so they waited for the good news that came from Kanae and Shinobu.
However, Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma didn't know that. No, they might understand that, but their emotions, the sadness and the anger that came from everyone's actions, and how weak they were.
Yes, they were weak.
If they weren't weak, then would they lick each other's wounds pitifully waiting for Isao?
So, whether it was Hinatsuru, Makio, or Suma, they didn't wait for the Demon Slayer Corps and decided to visit Isao by following Kanae and Shinobu. They had to take this matter by themselves since it was their husband who had passed away.
In this world, Isao was the only one who could avenge their husband and kill the demons who had killed their husband.
So, to achieve their ambitions, they would do anything!
Even if—
"Sure."
However, Isao, who wasn't even a Demon Slayer, told her that he was going to fight a powerful demon.
Don't be kidding me!
"It will be fine."
Isao gave the same answer, but this time with a firmer tone. "Kanae and Amane-san knew about my decision to join the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Nee-san...? Amane-sama...?" Shinobu looked at Kanae and Amane in surprise.
"Believe him, Shinobu. He is stronger."
"He won't die from those demons."
Whether Kanae or Amane, they believed in Isao's strength, and as he had made his decision, as their women, they would support him with all of their rights.
"They are okay, right?"
Shinobu glared at Isao with tears when she heard such a relaxed answer.
"Once again, it will be fine. I am strong." Isao patted Shinobu's head and said, "Moreover, I don't want Kanae to lose her little sister when we live happily here in Tokyo. You are going to be with us, and I will eradicate a demon for that."
"....."
Shinobu couldn't say anything and just silently stared at him, but she knew if there was a reason why Isao decided to join the Demon Slayer Corps, then it was due to them since he didn't want them to live in such danger anymore.
"I will follow you."
"You are a burden."
"Bastard!"
Yet, Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma, who had listened and watched him, swore that when they could get out alive from this fight, they would give their everything to Isao to repay for what he had done to them.
Isao didn't know that, but if he knew...
Anyway, before the battle, Isao needed to make preparations.
"By the way, Shinobu, show me your Insect Breathing."
"...ha?"
