Chapter 183: 183: Big brother, someone’s bullying Daki!
Gyutaro looked down at his wounds. "Amazing. Humans actually invented something like this. So damn clever it makes me jealous. If we let them keep developing, one day they might not even need Nichirin Blades to kill us."
Frustrated, he tore at his own face and let out a furious roar. "Why?! Why are you more intelligent than me?! I won’t accept it! I’m going to kill every last one of you!"
Gyutaro’s wounds healed at a visible speed.
He swung the bone-like, blood-covered sickles in his hands. "Blood Demon Art: Flying Blood Sickles!"
"Scatter! This one’s using a special technique!"
But their reaction speed was nowhere near the speed of Gyutaro’s sickle-weasel-like slashes.
Shhk! Shhk!!
Crescent-shaped cuts instantly sliced the fleeing gunmen in half.
Some still had their lower bodies running while their upper halves had already left their bodies. Thick blood quickly pooled on the ground.
Their scattered corpses lay in the spreading pool of blood.
Elsewhere, his sister Daki was also slaughtering people without restraint.
Daki was beautiful, with a long snow-white ponytail. The kanji for Upper Rank and Six were carved into her left and right eyes.
Pink tattoos marked her left cheek and the right side of her forehead. Red and green ribbons wrapped around her waist and arms, already dotted with blood.
Even though she was weaker than her brother, her killing speed was even faster than Gyutaro’s. In her eyes, as a beautiful and powerful demon, she could do whatever she wanted.
She especially hated ugly people. Ugly people didn’t deserve to live.
Except for her older brother Gyutaro, of course.
"Wait... Gyokko is dead." Gyutaro, who had just sliced a house in half, suddenly stopped moving.
"Gyokko?"
"Upper Rank Five. It’s still night. The only ones who could kill him are the Hashira from the Demon Slayer Corps... or that man who killed Hantengu. From the way Lord Muzan reacted, that guy is probably a real pain in the ass. To be safe, we should head back to the Infinity Castle."
Gyutaro preferred playing it safe.
Daki wasn’t happy about it.
"Isn’t Upper Rank Five getting killed a good thing? That means you become the new Upper Rank Five, big brother. Besides, I just came out. I don’t want to go back so soon."
Gyutaro had always spoiled his little sister. He nodded. "Fine. We’ll stay another ten minutes. After that, no matter what, we’re leaving."
...
Less than five minutes later.
On the wilderness near Asakusa, Kyojuro Rengoku and the others ran into a group of fleeing civilians.
Every single person looked terrified, eyes full of pure fear. When Kyojuro asked them what had happened, no one even bothered answering. They were too busy running for their lives.
In the end, an old woman holding her granddaughter’s hand couldn’t stand watching them keep going forward.
She walked up to Kyojuro Rengoku and told him that two demons had appeared in Asakusa that even the shogunate couldn’t handle. She begged them to stop and run for their lives with her instead.
"From what this elder described, the ones we’re dealing with are most likely Upper Ranks. Everyone stay sharp. Mitsuri."
"Here!" Mitsuri immediately looked at him.
"You’re in charge of protecting these people. Make sure no demons attack them on the road. Once we split up, stay in contact with the Kasugai Crows."
"I don’t feel comfortable leaving Mitsuri alone with such a heavy job. I’ll go with her. Besides, with Mr. Ivan here, one more or one less Hashira doesn’t make much difference."
Obanai Iguro was more worried about Mitsuri than the rest of the Hashira.
He had already figured out that Ivan only brought them along to stop any demons from escaping. With Kyojuro, Sanemi, Giyu, and Tengen around, that was more than enough.
"Gah! Gah!! I spotted an Upper Rank up ahead! It’s a woman with Upper Rank Six carved in her eyes." Even though Murata hadn’t come, Torataro had volunteered to join the group. If it didn’t say anything, people might think it was Ivan’s Kasugai Crow instead of Murata’s.
"Gah... but I think I also saw another demon’s shadow."
"Lead the way."
"Yes, my lord! Gah! Gah! Right away!" Torataro gave two flattering caws.
In less than a minute, Torataro led Ivan and the others through a series of turns until they finally found Daki inside a room, about to kill someone.
She had wrapped her ribbons around a woman’s neck and was watching with an appreciative look as the woman slowly choked to death.
"You bitch, die!" Sanemi Shinazugawa struck first.
"Who are you calling a bitch?!" Daki’s anger flared at the insult, but the second she turned her head, Sanemi’s blade — moving at extreme speed — severed her neck cleanly.
"That was a flashy strike."
Tengen Uzui commented.
None of them had expected an Upper Rank to have so little guard up that her head could be cut off this easily. Even Sanemi, the one who swung the blade, looked a little surprised.
Eh? Was it really this simple?
Upper Ranks definitely shouldn’t be this weak.
Sure enough, the beheaded Daki didn’t die. She stared at the Hashira who had entered the room and snarled, "You ambushed me! You despicable bastards!"
"For an Upper Rank, you’re pathetically weak. Is it because you didn’t work hard enough at eating people?"
Giyu Tomioka was as blunt as ever.
"Keep talking big! I haven’t lost yet! I’m still an Upper Rank!"
"Not very convincing..." Tengen said lightly.
"You bastards! My big brother is going to kill every one of you! Waaah, big brother, someone’s bullying Daki!" Daki started bawling at the top of her lungs.
Hmm?
At the same time, the Hashira noticed something strange.
"Even after getting her head cut off she still isn’t dead. That’s weird. And why does an Upper Rank even have a big brother?" Tengen looked confused.
His confusion was quickly cut apart by a flying slash that came whistling through the air.
Swoosh!
Kyojuro Rengoku instinctively stepped in front of the woman to shield her from further harm.
"Now this presence actually feels like an Upper Rank." Tengen drew the dual blades from his back.
The blades were connected by a chain, black with golden patterns along the edges, and the four large kanji characters that roughly meant the three words "Evil Demon Slaying" in English were carved into them.
