Ghost Slayer: My Wife Kanao

The moment killing intent appeared in Sakonji Urokodaki's eyes, an extremely powerful aura emanated from him.

It felt like a storm about to unleash.

But it was submerged in the depths of the sea in an instant, waiting for the moment when the terrifying torrent would erupt.

In that instant, Sam Miller felt a powerful premonition of danger arise in his mind, signaling imminent peril.

He couldn't help but press the hilt of his sword with his hand, his golden eyes narrowing involuntarily, looking quietly at Urokodaki across from him.

Although his current strength was not as great as Urokodaki's, it did not mean he would be an easy target for others.

Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho didn't understand why senior Urokodaki suddenly harbored such killing intent toward Sam, but without hesitation, the two approached Sam, their purple eyes watching Urokodaki vigilantly.

At the moment Urokodaki showed killing intent, Makomo and Sabito, who were standing outside the door, also pressed the hilts of their swords tightly at the same moment.

For Sabito and Makomo, they had been orphans without parents since they were young. It was Urokodaki who took them in and taught them skills.

In the eyes of Sabito and Makomo, Urokodaki was almost like a father to them.

Anyone the master wanted to kill was also their enemy.

Urokodaki, wearing a tengu mask, raised his eyes, looking at Sam with deep meaning. Those eyes were sharp, like an eagle's, as if trying to see through his heart.

Sam met his gaze with his golden eyes without hesitation.

For him, there was nothing to fear.

From the moment he became a demon, he was ready to be hunted down.

Similarly, if someone wanted to kill him, they had to be prepared to be killed by him.

There was no right or wrong, just different perspectives.

As for who kills whom, in the words of the future Giyu Tomioka, it is:

"The weak have no rights and no choice."

"You can only succumb to the strength of the strong."

The room was silent, extremely silent.

Sam pressed the hilt of his sword tightly, standing alone, watching everyone vigilantly, including the Kocho sisters. He had never truly let his guard down around them.

In any case, he was a demon, separate from human beings.

Kanae and Shinobu looked at Urokodaki vigilantly with their purple eyes.

Urokodaki sat there silently, looking at the Kocho sisters who were vaguely protecting the demon, feeling extremely surprised in his heart.

Leaving aside Kanae, this newly promoted "Pillar" has a gentle nature, even with demons. Although he was surprised by such behavior, it wasn't impossible.

But Shinobu was different. This was a girl who hated demons to the extreme, yet at this moment, she was faintly protecting one.

Outside the door, Makomo and Sabito held their sword hilts tightly, their eyes fixed, always listening for movement in the room. If the master made a move, they would rush in immediately to help him.

Giyu and Tsutako Tomioka also sensed the strange atmosphere that suddenly descended, and they couldn't help but look up curiously, noticing Makomo and Sabito already pressing their hands on the hilts of their swords.

Kanao Tsuyuri, who had been sitting outside like a marionette obediently according to Sam's wishes, suddenly stood up.

Her beautiful but empty purple eyes flickered for a moment, and then, like a puppet, she stepped forward, about to walk into the room.

However, just as she was about to step inside, Makomo and Sabito stopped her.

...

Inside the room, the atmosphere was heavy, and no one spoke.

"Mr. Urokodaki..." Kanae finally couldn't help but speak. Cooperation with Sam was something the master, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, agreed to.

"I know," Urokodaki spoke in an almost hoarse voice. "I'm just... worried about it."

Under the mask of the tengu, his eyes flickered slightly.

"I believe in him," Kanae spoke without hesitation.

"Me too," Shinobu said.

Urokodaki frowned slightly.

"Do you want to play a game?" Sam pressed the hilt of his sword, staring at Urokodaki with golden eyes.

Waiting, the battle of life and death.

However, the other party seemed to be...

"You are really a demon that I can't see through."

"Perhaps, you demon are truly different."

"I'm willing to try once."

Urokodaki spoke with a hoarse voice, and the killing intent on his body disappeared in an instant, as if it had never been there.

Sam relaxed slightly and stared at Urokodaki hesitantly, only relaxing after confirming that the other party was not trying to deceive him.

As in the future, Urokodaki wanted to believe in Nezuko, who had turned into a demon.

Now, Urokodaki was also willing to try to believe in Sam, who had become a demon.

Because he felt different from those dehumanized demons.

This demon didn't seem like a demon.

It was more like a person.
