Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

"Shut up and listen to me!"

Faced with the sudden domineering and forceful attitude, Kui Zhi pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably a little wronged.

It felt like I was being bullied.

But for some reason, she became inexplicably addicted to this harsh reprimand and command, this feeling of being bullied, as if some strange emotion was constantly fermenting in her mind.

She felt that she didn't seem to dislike the feeling.

It's even... a little addictive?

I thought back to when I overheard the women in town chatting about the various tricks their husbands played at the academy.

Kui Zhi couldn't help but shiver.

Afraid that she might awaken some strange attribute as a result, Aoi no longer dared to disobey Natsuhiko.

It would be troublesome if I really got addicted.

Thinking of this, Kui Zhi gave Xia Yan a somewhat resentful look and obediently shut her mouth.

Seeing that Aoi had calmed down, Natsuhiko nodded in satisfaction.

Although he felt the other person was looking at him strangely, like a small animal about to be tamed, Xia Yan didn't pay much attention to it and continued speaking:

"The reason why the demons haven't devoured all the people yet is because there are people constantly fighting against them!"

"This group is called the 'Demon Slayer Corps,' an organization dedicated to killing demons. Of course, most Demon Slayer Corps members prioritize protecting the lives of civilians."

"I see, so Natsuhiko-kun is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."

After hearing Xia Yan's introduction, Kui Zhi said softly, as if deep in thought.

But then, realizing that she had interrupted Xia Yan again, Mrs. Aoi instinctively covered the rear armor of her Q-bullet and looked at Xia Yan somewhat timidly.

It inexplicably gives people a feeling of wanting to accept but not accept.

"Yes. I belong to the minority."

Seeing her like this, Xia Yan simply raised an eyebrow and did nothing more.

However, his calm reaction made Kui Zhi feel somewhat uneasy, and she had a mix of feelings of gain and loss.

Xia Yan ignored Kui Zhi's emotional changes and continued speaking to himself:

"The reason demons appear is because the 'Demon King' Muzan Kibutsuji bestowed his blood upon others. Those who obtained Muzan's blood and survived became man-eating demons."

“Countless people have been harmed by evil spirits, their families have been torn apart and their lives ruined.”

"Those who have been harmed by demons gather together with those who have a sense of justice to fight against the demons. However, the gap between demons and humans is too great, and even swordsmen who have undergone rigorous training find it difficult to defeat ordinary demons."

"So people back then lived a precarious life, their greatest fear being to return home only to find their loved ones lying in a pool of blood."

Xia Yan paused for a moment, giving Mrs. Kui Zhi's not-so-bright little brain plenty of time to understand the story he was telling.

Perhaps because Xia Yan was telling a story that sounded more like a historical tale, Mrs. Kui did not interrupt.

Instead, she seemed engrossed in listening, her pretty face filled with worry, her fingers interlaced as if she were praying for the people of that time.

Chapter 183 Disregarding Martial Morality and Launching a Sneak Attack

"This miserable life continued until four hundred years ago, when a powerful swordsman appeared, whose name was Yoriichi Tsugikuni."

Seeing Mrs. Aoi's obedient appearance, Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Yoriichi Tsugikuni was practically a god descended to earth; his appearance brought about earth-shattering changes to the Demon Slayer Corps. He possessed a power called 'Breathing Technique,' which allowed human swordsmen to gain power comparable to that of demons."

"Yoriichi's breathing technique was the initial breathing technique called 'Sun Breathing.' Due to its extreme difficulty in learning and the differences in physical conditions, the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, under Yoriichi's guidance, created breathing techniques more suitable for themselves."

"Since then, the situation has slowly begun to improve."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Aoi's face lit up with joy, clearly having become completely absorbed in the history that Natsuhiko was recounting.

"One day, Yoriichi Tsugikuni encountered the progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji!"

"Yoriichi Tsugikuni's strength is beyond human imagination; he severely injured Muzan in a single instant, rendering him incapable of resistance."

A hopeful expression appeared on Kui Zhi's face.

"However, since everyone who saw Muzan either died or became a demon, and no one knew Muzan's abilities, he was ultimately able to escape."

"how so!?"

This sudden turn of events caused Mrs. Aoi's emotions to fluctuate violently. She covered her mouth with her hands and let out a soft sigh.

Pia——

The familiar voice sounded again.

"Hmm~"

Mrs. Aoi, who was already completely immersed in the story told by Xia Yan, felt a tingling and strange sensation coming from her buttocks and let out a soft cry.

puff--

Mrs. Kuizhi's originally fair and pretty face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.

Steam was even visibly rising from his forehead, and his eyes looked like mosquito coils.

She instantly forgot all about the captivating storyline she had just witnessed.

The reverie that had been carefully suppressed returned to Mrs. Aoi's mind with even greater force.

I can't believe I made such a shameful sound.

And it happened right in front of Xia Yanjun.

He must have heard it...

It would be strange if we couldn't hear each other at such a close distance!

It's unbelievable that she would make such a shameful sound because she was spanked by a man.

Am I actually a promiscuous woman?

Seeing Mrs. Aoi's adorable expression of brain overload and CPU burning out, Xia Yan was also stunned for a moment.

Although I used a little technique to take that picture, I didn't expect Mrs. Aoi to have such a big reaction.

This is surprisingly sensitive.

It's... kind of cute?

With this in mind, Xia Yan became even more determined to save the family.

Although he already had a plan in mind, Xia Yan kept his expression hidden and instead put on a serious face.

"What's wrong, Mrs. Aoi? What are you thinking about? Your face is so red all of a sudden, do you have a cold?"

"Ah...is it!? What...ah, no..."

After being pulled from her reverie by Xia Yan, Mrs. Kui Zhi rambled on incoherently, saying things she herself couldn't understand.

After taking several deep breaths, the already overflowing hem of his shirt looked as if it was about to burst open.

Fortunately, although the quality of her clothes was average, the front armor was very soft and elastic, and nothing that Xia Yan would have liked happened.

After taking a few deep breaths, Aoi calmed down and gave Natsuhiko a somewhat resentful look.

"It's nothing, I was just... too emotional."

"However, what Xia Yanjun said has nothing to do with whether or not we need to move..."

Kui Zhi steered the conversation back on track.

“Of course there’s a connection.” Xia Yan’s lips curled up slightly. “Yoichi Tsugikuni has a friend named Tanjiro Kamado.”

"Since Yoriichi Tsugikuni had no descendants and could not find a suitable disciple, Tankichi Kamado took the initiative to ask for Yoriichi's deeds to be passed down."

"Although Yoriichi Tsugikuni refused the offer, at the invitation of Tanjiro's wife, he demonstrated the 'Sun Breathing' technique and sword form, and entrusted his sun-shaped paper earrings to Tanjiro."

"And that Kamado Tanjiro also passed down the techniques of 'Sun Breathing' and Yoriichi Tsugikuni's earrings."

Upon hearing this, the hole in the stove door shrank slightly, as if it had thought of something.

The surname Kamado, Tanjuro's ability to dance the Kagura dance all night despite his frail health, his powerful fighting ability to instantly kill a brown bear even when he is terminally ill, and Tanjiro's earring.

All of these things were connected in her mind.

"Looks like you've figured it out too," Xia Yan patted her shoulder and said softly, "The Kamado family inherits the 'Breathing of the Sun.' It might sound like an exaggeration, but it's only a matter of time before the demons find you."

Mrs. Aoi trembled violently, and involuntarily imagined the terrifying scene of her family being attacked by evil spirits.

Clearly, she now understands the deeper meaning behind Xia Yan's suggestion that she move.

Although she was very reluctant when Xia Yan first suggested that Aoi take the children to move.

After all, the culture and thought of all the countries in Southeast Asia are inevitably influenced by China.

They all have a strong attachment to their hometown and generally feel reluctant to leave their native land.

And although the breadwinner of the family had passed away, it was very inconvenient for her to raise six children alone as a widow.

However, the eldest son, Tanjiro, is already capable of working, and the eldest daughter, Nezuko, can also help her with housework. All the children in the family are well-behaved and obedient.

Although she had lost her support, the burden of life fell on her shoulders as a woman, which she found somewhat difficult to adapt to.

Life has become a little harder than before.

But it's not that they can't make ends meet.

But now that she knows her life is in danger if she stays here any longer, she can't wait to leave.

However, there's one problem that you can't avoid when you want to move.

That is--

money.

This is a very real problem.

The Kamado family has made a living selling charcoal for generations. Their income is enough to cover their expenses, and because Tanjiro's family often helps others, they are often taken care of by those they have helped.

However, this only means that they won't have too much pressure in their lives.
