Chapter 33: God, Booze and Beauty!

Gojo carefully lifted Sanemi's unconscious body. Despite the Demon Slayer's injuries, his strong physique was evident. "Rest up. We'll have an interesting chat when you wake."

Returning to the house, Gojo saw Tanjiro and Nezuko. "How are you?.. Did this fucker hurt you badly..?" he asked gently. Tanjiro nodded and said "I don't know who he is and why he attacked me. But I am fine. T-Thankyou Gojo Senpai... If.. if you had not come.." Tangiro tried to say but his moist eyes and the knot in his mouth made it hard for him,

Gojo placed his hand on his shoulder "Don't worry ok?.. Nobody will try to harm Nezuko.. I will talk to the Demon Slayer Corp's leader"

"Just train hard and become powerful.."

Tanjiro clenched his fist, determined. "I'll train harder to protect her."

Gojo smiled. "That's the spirit. With effort, you'll grow formidable."

"And you too Nezuko, you will also become strong" Nezuko cooed softly as Gojo patted her head. 'So cute~' The siblings' bond warmed his heart.

"Crock-crock! Master has requested the White-haired Man's presence!"

"Hmm.. I am going before that scared fucker wakes up, and tell the gramps to fix that big hole on the wall" Gojo said to Tanjiro.

The scene shifted to a traditional tatami room.

Gojo and Kagaya Ubuyashiki sat by the open window, enjoying tea. Kagaya observed Gojo thoughtfully. "You displayed extraordinary power defeating Sanemi.... May I ask your nature and abilities?" Kagaya asked as he smiled gently.

Gojo smiled enigmatically. "Haha... Let's just say I'm from a different realm of existence. Where I come from, my powers are commonplace for a deity."

Kagaya nearly choked on his tea. "A deity? You mean to say you're a god from another dimension?" Surprise and intrigue colored his tone.

Gojo nodded calmly. "That about sums it up. I came to ensure Tanjiro and Nezuko's safety.... as they are my favorite..." Kagaya pondered this revelation in silence, gazing out at the garden in amazement at having a godly guest.

'Is he telling the truth? is God helping us..? but his powers are too formidable... The aura he is oozing out is more powerful than any of the Hashiras... i-if he helps us... W-We could defeat Muzan... 'Many questions swirled in his mind about Gojo and the mysterious place he hailed from.

"Gojo Sama.. I.. I have a question.. are you willing to help our cause...blah blah blah @@@#$#@"

"~~#~#@~"

"~~$@~#~...."

After further intriguing discussion with Kagaya, Gojo had developed a sincere respect for the man 'This man is willing to sacrifice everything..' .

"I will definitely help the poor humans of this world... As a deity, how could I not?" Gojo said after drinking the 4th glass of Shochu (Shochu is a Japanese traditional hard liquor, distilled spirits made from grains and vegetables.)

"Yes! Gojo Sama! Haha.. It will be our greatest honor if you do so.." Kagaya said as he also drank his 3rd glass and poured more for Gojo and himself.

Though for different reasons, they shared a bond.

As night fell, Gojo put on a show, bullshitting about how his heart ached realizing demons caused suffering in this world. "Muzan is a menace. I hope he meets his end."

Kagaya nodded thoughtfully. "Yes! We Demon Slayers strive for that goal."

After many long years, Kagaya was really happy!

After drinking his 50th glass Gojo stood up on his feet.

"Hick* I should go now..", Gojo bid his new friend farewell. "Until we meet again, Kagaya..."

At the outskirts of Tokyo.

"Huu~ Hmm~ Hahm~" Feeling the effects of the alcohol taking hold, "Oh..!!!" he remembered the new skill he had acquired: the Reversed Cursed Technique. It was a powerful ability, and he was curious to see how it worked.

"Should I check Hick* it~" "OK!~" With a drunk look, Gojo activated the skill.

As the power of the technique coursed through his body, he felt a wave of revitalization wash over him. His mind and body were instantly refreshed, and to his disappointment, all signs of drunkenness vanished as if they had never been.

"Hmm.. I see... I was drunk!" He said as he scratched his chin. "Buu.... Now all my hard work of drinking 50 glasses has gone to the drain.." His shoulders slumped down.

"Oi Oi, No robs!" He slapped his cheek, "The evening is still young, let's hunt some wild animals~" He said to no one as he started walking like a little boy.

Inside the woods near Roppongi, we see a beautiful and curvaceous young woman of average height and fairly muscular build with a slightly pale complexion and round, pale green eyes with long eyelashes, a small beauty mark beneath each of them seething her long ribbon-like sword "Fuu~ That was the last demon of the pack..." she said.

She has long, light pink hair that fades into a lime green color at the halfway point, which she wears in three thick braids. She has five shorter, choppy clumps hanging over her face as voluminous bangs, the tips lime green as well. (A/N: I wonder who she is?)

'Hm hm hmm ha hm hmm hmmm~ now I will eat a lot of food~' Mitsuri hummed a cheerful tune as she strolled through the forest.

'Hmm..?' A rustling caught her ear, and she turned to see a dashing stranger emerging from the trees 'A man, in the middle of the woods..? lost maybe..?'.

"Well hello!" she greeted with a smile. "May I help you?"

The man grinned, sending her heart aflutter. "Why yes, you're just who I was hoping to find. I'm Gojo... Satoru Gojo." He took her hand, brushing a kiss across her knuckles. "May I say, the forest pales beside your radiance."

'Waa! He-he kissed.. my hand... No, focus Mitsuri!' Mitsuri giggled, cheeks pink. "A charmer, are you? It's lovely to meet you, Gojo san." His playful manner charmed her gentle soul.

"Let's keep each other company awhile, I am also heading to Roppongi to eat something" Gojo said. As they walked, he complimented her hair, her laugh, her compassionate nature. Flattered, Mitsuri listened enraptured.

As Gojo and Mitsuri continued their stroll through the woods, they suddenly found themselves confronted by a menacing demon. "Gojo san.." Mitsuri, unaware of Gojo's true power, instinctively moved to shield him from the threat. "It will only take a moment.." She tensed up, ready to defend herself and her companion.

However, Gojo had other plans. "No, no, don't worry Kanroji san" With a gentle yet firm touch, he placed his hand on Mitsuri's waist, 'Waah!' causing her to blush and become flustered.

In a calm and reassuring tone, he told her not to worry. 'Cursed technique Reversal: Red' In the blink of an eye, Gojo unleashed his Reversal: Red technique and the demon was instantly obliterated.

"W-Without a Nichiren.. H-how..?" Mitsuri was left in awe of Gojo's incredible strength, and she couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration.

"Have Kagaya not told you there are various ways to kill a demon..?" Gojo said playfully.

'K-Kagaya Sama..!'

So you know Master Kagaya?" she asked eagerly. "He's the kindest leader."

Gojo nodded. "We go way back. I was just having a little heart-to-heart with an old friend. Which brings me to you, fair maiden - might I entreat your company further?" (A/N: Man is a BS master..)

Mitsuri beamed. "I'd be delighted! It's always lovely to meet a friend of Master Kagaya's. Let's quickly go and eat something"

*******

Mitsuri and Gojo sat at a cozy outdoor table, enjoying a pleasant dinner together. Mitsuri sipped her tea contentedly, eyeing the spread before them.

"Everything looks so delicious!" she said with a smile. "Where shall I start?"

"Please, help yourself to as much as you like," Gojo replied.

And so Mitsuri began, sampling dish after dish with gusto. She ate with perfect manners yet unbridled joy, humming happily with each bite. 'Aww, so cute!' Gojo watched in amusement as empty plates piled up by her seat.

"You certainly know how to appreciate a good meal," he remarked.

Mitsuri giggled. "I just love food so much! It's the little things that make life bright, Gojo san." She took a bite of cake, frosting dusting her lips. "Would you like to try some?"

Gojo's eyes twinkled. "I couldn't take anything from such an appetizing lady."

"~.~..~..."

As they conversed, Mitsuri introduced him to new flavors. Gojo found himself just as enriched by her company as her culinary tours. Her enthusiasm was infectious; even mundane meals became adventures.

By the end, Mitsuri's side of the table overflowed with remnants of her enjoyment. She smiled, content and glowing.

"Thank you for this lovely time, Gojo san," she said. 'So much sugar..' Gojo smiled back, believing no sight as appetizing as her.
