Chapter 70 - Returning

After Kagaya killed Muzan, the former Slayers celebrated at the Former Demon Slayers Headquarters, Ryuu was the one who cooked, they were doubtful at first since they never tasted Ryuu's dishes, unlike Shinobu and the others who were excited to eat his dishes.

Ryuu had sent a clone to make burial for the Upper Moon that he knew their life had tragedy namely Daki or Ume and Gyutaru. He especially respected Akaza for his life had been full of misfortune. 

"May your soul rest and find a better path."

Despite knowing numerous worlds that may have existed with the same conclusion as the anime didn't bother him. What's important is what is in front of him. 

Ryuu poured alcohol in their grave as a sign of respect since at the last moment of their death they were human. 

"It may sound naive for showing respect to those who had killed numerous lives but even still I can't deny the things I know about you."

He may not feel the same way as thugs and other criminals since he doesn't know their life nor he cares. Ryuu just has a strange way of viewing life and respecting it. 

Once he finish used [ Shundō ] appearing close to his main body before being absorbed back into his flesh without anyone noticing. 

The people were drinking wine, they were singing and laughing like there's no tomorrow. Zenitsu was so drunk that he approached Mitsuri who saw her unparalleled beauty.

"Please marry me-gaah!"

Ryuu karate chopped his neck, making him fall unconscious while everyone was sweating seeing his expression. No one dared trying to flirt with the [ Plague Hashira ].

Meanwhile, Inosuke was proudly screaming after getting drunk by the alcohol. Underage drinking isn't a thing and old enough to kill is old enough to drink. 

"I'm the strongest! I...I killed 1..2...3... whatever I killed more demons than you!! " 

Tanjiro got drunk also, but he is different from Inosuke, he was even more honest than before! Ryuu saw him walk his way   toward Aoi and Kanao. The girls noticed Tanjiro was walking toward them.

"Tanjiro-kun are you okay? you look so red! I told you to not drink too much!!"

Aoi scolded him since face was bright red from the alcohol and despite his body being stronger was quite weak to alcohol. 

" Yes...are you okay? " 

She was worried about Tanjiro who only gave a bright smile looking at the two girls. Ryuu smirk noticing what's going to happen, similar scene to the purpose of my existence fanfic he read long ago.

Though, this made him rethink his immature decision in rejecting Justine. He needs to talk to her immediately and if she hates him and castrates him then he'll accept it. Ryuu could already feel one of the "Watchers" cursing him.

"I'm okay I'm okay! Thank you for worrying!"

The two girls sigh, suddenly Tanjiro kneeled which made the girls panic, but before they could say anything, Tanjiro " You know....I liked you both I can't choose between you girls...but not until Ryuu-nii said that I could take more than 1 lover...so I decided...PLEASE BE MY LOVERS!" 

Ryuu saw Shinobu and Mitsuri glances at him that made his eyebrow raise. 

"What? I told him that it takes a huge responsibility and time. Furthermore, I said to take their relationship seriously since it's difficult to meet each woman's needs."

"We know but you're really a horrible influence. I wonder how Kie would feel about his son bringing two women home."

"She knows that Tanjiro won't fail them."

"Hope he doesn't get anymore lovers unlike you."

"What do you mean, Mitsuri? You all are enough for me."

"Fufufu I doubt that. Knowing your strange personality and luck with women wouldn't be strange getting a woman every time she caught your eyes."

Ryuu deadpanned looking at Shinobu who giggled while he hoped that they wouldn't have any more women. He did want Lucifer before but that was because he was immature.

He understood the hardship of having polygamious relationship since you need to give each woman their need which is mentally stressful if not for Ryuu's mind related skills then he would be brain dead by now.

"But they won't worry since the two would support him and vice versa like us."

Shinobu added that it made Ryuu smile and tighten his embrace with the two. In harem, it's best that both of them support one another and better manage their relationship. 

Meanwhile, Tanjiro's inner self was screaming in embarrassment. The people looked at the scene with interest, they even started betting.

" I'll drink one litters if he get rejected." 

"Same here but I'll drink 2 liters!"

Ryuu hearing the drunk Demon slayer only made him chuckle that caught their attention. 

"I'm certain the two will accept if not....nope I'm not gonna lose. Great job Tanjiro-kun!"

Ryuu acted like an embarrassing brother or father to Tanjiro who inwardly blush wanting to bury himself in a hole.

The people shook their heads, expecting him to lose BUT they didn't think that they'd lose, but they are dead wrong.

Aoi and Kanao looked at each other, as if they had the same thoughts and they nodded. 

"Yes!"

The two have truly fallen for him and didn't mind sharing him, since they treat each other like sisters. Tanjiro got dumbfounded, he truly didn't expect them to accept, he got his eyes filled with tears and he smiled happily.  

"I swear to both of you I'll make you happy! he stands up and hugs the girls."

"Hahahaha brat, Congratulations!! Be careful not to give grandbabies this early!"

Ryuu teasingly said that made the three blushed then felt Mitsuri punched his abdomen.

"Guhhh!!"

"Ryuu that wasn't nice!"

He only weakly smiled making them laugh and continued to enjoy the rest of the party.

==================

Far away from the Demon Slayer corp within a hidden building was a beautiful woman busily writing on her table. 

"Tamayo-sama! You should take a rest!!"

The woman turned around and saw the young man that she had saved long ago whose name was Yushiro. An eccentric young man who is deeply fond of her. She softly smiled at the young man appreciating his gesture but shook her head.

"I'm fine, Yushiro. You should worry more about yourself than me."

"Nonsense! Your life is more important than mine!"

She only smiled letting him be then turn back when her body jolted upon seeing a crow at her wind despite knowing it should be impossible. 

"Tamayo-sama!? Are you alright!"

"I'm fine but…"

"Are you Tamayo?"

The crow spike that made the two instinctual thoughts about the Demon Slayer corp since they were the only ones who use birds that could speak.

Yushiro tried attacking the Bird but it swiftly evaded his attack, shocking him as it landed on the table looking at Tamayo. 

"Damn bird! Stay still!"

"Please do not kill me as I have an important message from the one who defeated Muzan Kibutsuji."

It was at that moment Tamayo was shocked to hear the name of Muzan and even more the fact that he was now defeated.

"What do you mean by defeating Muzan?"

"Few days prior to a bloody battle against the Demon Slayer and Demons where the Demon Slayer prevailed. I have been sent here to deliver an antidote to turn you back to human. Please take the pill in my legs and do not try replicating it as it is impossible."

The crow explained that made Tamayo glances at his legs where a small container was attached to its leg. She reached out and took the container.

"Now my job is done. Hope you have a full life, Tamayo, Yushiro."

They saw the crow flapped its wing leaving the two to their bewilderment as Tamayo stared at the item in her arms before opening it. She saw two small tablets and knew that she needed to swallow them. 

"Tamayo-sama! You shouldn't take it or it might be a trap set by the Demon Slayer!!"

"Perhaps but I felt in my heart that it's finally over."

Tamayo drank the pill much to Yushiro's shock and soon she felt something leaving her body. It was at that moment her sharp claws had disappeared and opened her eyes feeling the crave of human flesh was now gone. 

"Tamayo-sama!! Are you alright!"

"I-I'm fine….Yushiro…I'm finally human again!"

While they rejoice their freedom and burden being lifted, Ryuu was currently preparing himself to leave the world saying his goodbye to the Hashira and Ubayashiki family. 

He had placed Tanjiro along with new lovers to his Dimensional room and switched the time to make it slower. 

"Finally…wait for me, Justine."
