Chapter 91: Respective Requests
Chapter 91: Respective Requests
---
Demon wine allows demons to taste the flavor of wine, but it does not make them drunk.
Alcohol enters their bodies and is quickly broken down.
However, Tamayo felt she was truly a little drunk.
Mr. Aoki had become strong enough to fight Muzan Kibutsuji, and combined with her poison, the hope of revenge was within reach.
The surprise came so suddenly that she was in a daze, her whole body immersed in a strong sense of unreality.
"Miss Tamayo, I have one more thing to ask you," Aoki said.
Tamayo focused and looked at Aoki with soft eyes, "Mr. Aoki, just speak."
As long as she could defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, even if Mr. Aoki wanted to sacrifice his sword to her, she would agree without hesitation.
Aoki took out a few tubes of blood, which were blood samples from Tanjiro's family.
Tamayo twitched her nose slightly, "Is this… human blood?"
Yushiro also took a look. He and Tamayo usually relied on drinking blood to survive and were very sensitive to the scent of human blood.
"Yes, this is the blood of several very special people," Aoki said.
Tamayo remained silent, waiting for his explanation.
Aoki first picked out Tanjiro's blood, then Nezuko's blood, "They both have extremely high demon-making potential. These two should be the best, and the first one is far better than the second."
"Extremely high potential for making demons?"
Tamayo silently repeated Aoki's words.
Aoki picked up Tanjiro's blood again, "His potential is much stronger than Muzan Kibutsuji's"
Of course, there is talent in being a demon.
Some demons can become Upper Rank, some can only become Lower Rank, and even more demons can't even reach the Lower Rank.
Another measure of a demon's potential is how much blood of Muzan Kibutsuji they can withstand.
Muzan's blood can make demons stronger, but if it exceeds the limit they can bear, their body will collapse and die.
Tanjiro, on the other hand, not only easily withstood all the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji but also defeated the sunlight in an instant.
Tanjiro's potential as a demon is unparalleled.
"Stronger than Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Tamayo's eyes narrowed slightly, finally understanding what Aoki meant by having a strong potential for being a demon.
Aoki said, "So, I hope Miss Tamayo can study this blood and see if she can decipher the secrets within."
Tamayo thought for a while and said softly, "Mr. Aoki, I'm afraid this is difficult to do. Although I don't know how you can be sure that the owners of this blood have a strong potential for making demons, human blood and demon blood are completely different. Unless they become demons, it will be hard to find out what is special about their blood."
"It doesn't matter. Miss Tamayo can just try it in her free time. It won't matter if it doesn't work," Aoki said.
This is just a chess piece laid casually. If it succeeds, good, but if it fails, there will be no loss.
He is now only one step away from the ultimate creature. Even if he can decipher the secret in Tanjiro's blood, it may not be helpful to him.
"I understand" Tamayo collected all the blood seriously.
"There's one more thing," Aoki said.
He briefly talked about his cooperation with the Demon Slayer Corps and the spatial mark.
"I also wanted to try to communicate with the Demon Slayer Corps. I didn't expect Mr. Aoki to have such in-depth cooperation with them," Tamayo praised, appreciating that Aoki's approach coincided with her idea of "uniting the power of more people."
"The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Ubuyashiki clan, is quite outstanding both in ability and courage," Aoki said while taking out a spatial mark and handing it to Tamayo.
There are two basic requirements for leaving a spatial imprint: concealment and safety.
In a big city like Asakusa, it's not easy to find a place like this.
Miss Tamayo's house is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Mr. Aoki, please rest assured, I will definitely keep it safe," Tamayo said, putting away the spatial mark and hiding it close to her body.
Aoki looked at the sky outside and drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"It's getting late; it's time for me to leave."
"Please wait for a moment!"
Tamayo got up and left.
After a while, she returned with three fusiform devices, "Mr. Aoki, this is for you."
"This is?" Aoki already had a guess in his mind.
Tamayo pursed her lips, "This is the poison I made. As long as it stabs Muzan Kibutsuji, the poison will spread quickly. There are three doses here."
Aoki accepted them solemnly. This is the key to defeating Muzan Kibutsuji. Without this, even if he reaches the full level, he may not be able to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.
Tamayo said, "I will continue to try to develop more powerful poisons. If I have any results, I will tell Mr. Aoki as soon as possible."
"Good" Aoki nodded.
In fact, in his opinion, this poison is already perfect.
In the original story, Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho teamed up to create poisons with four effects: humanization, aging, preventing division, and destroying cells.
However, humanization was created using Nezuko's blood, who had overcome cannibalism and sunlight. Without those conditions now, it naturally wouldn't exist.
The other three effects are perfectly retained, but the cell-destroying effect is moved to the forefront.
This is not a coincidence or a sign of fate but because these are the most suitable effects for Muzan Kibutsuji.
In the original story, Tamayo and Shinobu chose these.
In this time and space, without Shinobu Kocho's cooperation, Tamayo still chose these effects.
As long as it can be used on Muzan Kibutsuji, it will definitely seriously weaken him.
Of course, if Miss Tamayo can develop a more powerful poison, it will definitely be better.
Tamayo said solemnly, "Actually, I also have something I want to ask Mr. Aoki for help with."
"Miss Tamayo, just ask," Aoki said.
Tamayo said, "When Mr. Aoki wants to take action against Muzan Kibutsuji, please be sure to tell me and let me participate. I will definitely be able to help"
Aoki looked at her deeply. He knew Miss Tamayo was determined to die. After killing her husband and children with her own hands, her heart died. For so many years, her only purpose in living was to avenge Muzan Kibutsuji.
"No problem, I will let Miss Tamayo see Muzan Kibutsuji's death with her own eyes."
Aoki said, "However, I have one last thing to ask Miss Tamayo."
"Please go ahead," Tamayo smiled, gentle and elegant, showing no sign of her deep sorrow.
"Miss Tamayo should know about the blue spider lily, right?" Aoki asked.
Tamayo's face changed slightly, "Yes, Mr. Aoki?"
"I have found the blue spider lily," Aoki said.
Tamayo suddenly became nervous and grabbed Aoki's hand, "Where is it? Will Muzan Kibutsuji find it?"
Aoki said, "Miss Tamayo, please rest assured that Muzan Kibutsuji will never find the location of the blue spider lily. Moreover, the blue spider lily only blooms on the day when the sun is the strongest each year. This year's blooming date has passed. Even if Muzan finds the location, he can't get the blue spider lily"
Tamayo's body relaxed, "What does Mr. Aoki mean?"
Aoki said, "Of course, I also want to get rid of the shackles of the sun. So after obtaining the blue spider lily, I hope Miss Tamayo will be responsible for researching the medicine."
Tamayo looked at him in a daze.
Aoki said again, "The blue spider lily is very precious. There may be only a few in the world. There must be someone with high enough medical skills and trustworthiness to be responsible. Miss Tamayo is the only candidate."
In fact, the medical skills of Kanae and Shinobu are also good enough.
But they are human, after all.
He was sure they wouldn't leave it to Tamayo.
Tamayo was silent for a long time before she smiled again.
"Okay"
"Then it's settled" Aoki said.
Yushiro suddenly came between them, looking at their clasped hands, his face twisted a little.
"It's almost dawn; aren't you leaving yet?"
