Kakushi

"Where am I..."

Rio's eyelids slowly opened, seeing the wooden ceiling and the antiseptic smell wafting in the air.

He is currently wearing a loose green shirt and loose-fitting trousers.

"Ouch..."

While trying to get out of bed, Rio felt a tingling sensation all over his body, he canceled his intention and lay back down.

"Looks like I'm being treated at the Butterfly Mansion..."

Rio recalled the scene before he passed out.

Following Kanae's Kasugai Crow, after Rio had rowed the bicycle for half an hour, the two of them arrived at the Butterfly Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, Rio felt a sense of tiredness and tiredness engulfing his body. How could I not, not only had to escape from Upper Rank 2 while carrying Kanae. He also had to row a bicycle in the winter for half an hour.

If he didn't have a strong will, Rio wouldn't have been able to arrive at the Butterfly Mansion considering his VIT attribute was so low.

Luckily when Rio slowly fainted, Kanae immediately caught him from falling and immediately asked the people at the Butterfly Mansion for help.

"I remember hearing the Reincarnation Room notification when I fainted."

Recalling the reason he had to suffer like this, Rio looked at the Hidden Quest on the status screen.

[Hidden Quest : Save Koch Kanae]

﹝Reward : 20,000 Reincarnation Points and 1x Rank Stone﹞

﹝Deadline: - ﹞

﹝Penalty : Death﹞

﹝Progress : Complete﹞

"Phew~ Hidden Quest completed, looks like Kocho Kanae didn't die on the way."

Rio heaved a sigh of relief seeing this, he was worried that Kanae would die on the way to the Butterfly Mansion. If that happened, it would mean that all his efforts would be in vain.

"Quest 1 is rewarded with 3000 Reincarnation Points, Quest 3 is rewarded with 2500 Reincarnation Points, Preliminary Quest is rewarded with 500 Reincarnation Points and the Hidden Quest is rewarded with the greatest reward, which is 20,000 Reincarnation Points and Rank Stones."

"The total Reincarnation Points I have is 26,000 Reincarnation Points, not bad..."

Rio was very satisfied with having a lot of Reincarnation Points. Although it was unknown what the Reincarnation Points were used for at this time, he was sure they would be very useful when he returned to the Reincarnation Room.

Besides that, Rio believed that no other player had more Reincarnation Points than he had.

As for the uses of Rank Stones? He had a vague guess through his name.

"Speaking of players, how many players are still holding out."

Out of curiosity, Rio opened the Number of Players list on the status screen.

[Remaining players : 51/100]

﹝Players on the Demon Slayer Corps side : 15 Players﹞

﹝Player on Demon side : 36 Player﹞

"I'm the only player who has eradicated the players on the demon side huhhh..."

Initially there were 52 players left, because Rio killed the Demon side players, he reduced the number of players to 51 players and players to the demon side to 36 players.

"Now only Quest 2 is left... I hope Kanae can help me with the promotion..."

The door was opened by a little girl about 9 to 10 years old, her black hair tied in twintails with blue butterfly clips.

Carrying the tray in her hand, the little girl walked in. When she saw Rio had woken up, she looked excited.

"Demon Slayer-san is awake! That's good, you must be hungry after 2 days of sleep, I brought porridge for you."

The little girl walked to the bed, put the bowl of porridge on the small table beside the bed.

"Who are you?" Rio asked frowning at the appearance of the little girl at the place where the Demon Slayer was being treated.

"I? My name is Nakahara Sumi, a member of Kakushi." The little girl named Sumi replied with a cheerful expression.

"Kakushi? What's that?" Rio asked again, he didn't know much about the Kimetsu no Yaiba anime because he himself had never watched this anime.

"Ehhhh...? Demon Slayer-san doesn't know Kakushi?" Sumi is surprised that Rio doesn't know Kakushi, she thinks every Demon Slayer must know Kakushi.

"If I had known, do you think I would have asked this?" Rio said expressionlessly.

"That's right... Since Demon Slayer-san doesn't know Kakushi, I'll explain." Sumi patted her chest and snorted from her nostrils.

Sumi didn't know Rio's name, that's why she called him Demon Slayer-san and Rio himself was too lazy to introduce himself to strangers.

With a smile on her face, Sumi gave a brief explanation of Kakushi:

"Kakushi is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps whose work as officers range from providing services to members of the Corps to clearing the battlefield after an attack."

"Most of the Kakushi members hide their identities, they wear a black version of the standard Demon Slayer Corps uniform consisting of a gakuran jacket, hakama pants, and a black headgear."

"Kakushi consists of Demon Slayers who have retired after being injured as well as individuals who did not pass the Final Selection exam but remain Kakushi in order to remain useful to the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Does Demon Slayer-san understand?"

Putting both her hands on her waist, Sumi looked at Rio.

"I see, thank you very much for explaining." Rio nodded and thanked her.

"No problem, I still have work to do. Demon Slayer-san don't forget to eat porridge to recover quickly."

After saying that, Sumi slightly lowered her head and left the room.

"What a passionate girl..." said Rio assessing Sumi's character.

Taking the bowl on the table, Rio ate the porridge slowly.

"Not good..."

"No matter what era, the food in the hospital must be bad."

Despite complaining about the bland taste of the food, Rio didn't stop the movement of his hands eating the porridge using a spoon.

The main priority right now is to recover as soon as possible and resume hunting the Demons so that Quest 1 Rewards gets bigger. It was said that the more demons exterminated, the greater the reward, Rio didn't want to waste this opportunity.

Putting the empty bowl on the table, just as Rio was about to lie down on the bed, the door opened again.

Rio thought that the person who came was Sumi wanting to take the dirty bowl, but his guess was wrong.

When Rio turned to the door, he saw a petite 14 year old girl with pale skin and eyes that had no pupils and only a purple gradation mist, making her eyes look similar to insects.

The petite girl had wavy black hair that faded to dark purple, styled at the back of her head into a bun and tied with white, turquoise and mauve butterfly ornaments.

The petite girl was wearing a different Demon Slayer uniform consisting of silver buttons and cloth with a darker purple color, she also wore a plain white haori over it.

"Who are you?" Rio glanced at the petite girl briefly and lay down on the bed.

The little girl walked over to the bed panting heavily, it seemed that she had come here while running.

"Thank you very much for saving Nee-san."

The petite girl bowed her back in front of Rio and sincerely thanked him.

"Nee-san? You're Kocho Kanae's little sister?"

There was only one person that Rio had saved, so he immediately guessed the identity of the tiny girl in front of him.
