As soon as Genichiro opened his sleepy eyes, he saw a face that seemed familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar.

Although he didn't know how the other party came in without waking him up, he was wearing a Demon Slayer uniform and there was no sense of danger.

[Did Uyashiki wake me up? Isn’t that too considerate? There is also a wake-up service. 】

"Who are you?"

So Genichiro, who was not yet fully awake, asked this question.

The man's expression suddenly became ugly, and the corners of his mouth turned down unhappily.

"Pfft hahahahaha——"

A hearty smile suddenly sounded from the other end of the room, and Genichiro turned around to see the recovered Konano approaching.

"Oh, I'm just saying he won't recognize you like this, hahahahaha, don't forget about our previous bet to treat you to another beef hot pot meal!"

Konano was leaning against the wall, holding her stomach and laughing non-stop. Her legs were bent and her heels were hitting the ground back and forth. Apparently she had seen something happy.

He looks like a child who hasn't grown up yet.

The difference from yesterday is that this boy looks either 14 or 24 years old. Not only does he look lively and energetic, but he also has two deep cuts under his eyes.

The scars are gone.

[It should have been repaired by God Eater.]

Genichiro immediately made a judgment.

But with this clue, he immediately knew the identity of the other guy: "Then you are Immortal River!"

【No wonder it feels like déjà vu!】

At the moment of Immortal River, not only have all the scars on his face disappeared, but even the white hair that was dry and withered due to lack of nutrition when he was a child has become softer, and the cloudy eyes with bitter hatred have become clear and clear, no longer bloodshot like earthworms, and they are even more...

Needless to say, the skin was originally as rough as a wall.

In other words, today's Immortal Kawa Saneya finally looks like a healthy sixteen-year-old boy.

Coupled with his considerable height and strong muscles, he has a handsome and reliable temperament.

This is the first impression he gives people now.

Until he opened his mouth to speak.

"It's your uncle! Shut up!"

Konno Kuangikan's laughter made Immortal Sakawa Saneya furious. He picked up a pillow and threw it at his senior brother.

Because he used too much force, even the pillow filled with buckwheat husks made a whistling sound like a cannonball. Unprepared, Konno Kuangchi was hit and staggered, and he fell backwards. Unexpectedly, he threw his body behind him.

Half of the paper wall was torn off.

Fortunately, there is a staircase outside the room. If the paper wall next to the room with the flower column happens to be damaged, it will be unclear.

That woman must have an interesting smile on her face and torture him with a bunch of strange questions.

"Yeah, you'd better stop talking. With such a rude personality and such ugly words, they are not worthy of your pretty face!"

Konano Kōkika stood up with a pillow in his hands, and then walked towards Genichiro with a smile that was even more exaggerated than Butterfly Kanae, and bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you for saving my life! Madam Tianyin has told me everything that happened. For everything you have done, including the last time you saved this guy Immortal River, I can't thank you enough.

Words!"

After saying this, he bent down and stretched out his right hand towards Genichiro on the ground.

"Let's get to know each other! I'm Ino Kuangachika. I'll be eighteen years old this year. I don't have a girlfriend yet. I'm the senior brother of this rude guy!"

"In the next period of time, I will still be responsible for teaching you the breath of wind and the trainer of the nine sword types."

"oh?"

Genichiro's eyes blinked.

【This guy is actually a different style of Jilaiju.】

If Hanashira's words make people feel like a spring breeze, then this guy is like a walking oven. No wonder Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to kill him as soon as he showed up.

However, such people naturally have a carefree look and have no thoughtfulness. They are very similar to Kigatabu-sensei’s character, they are both very forthright people.

Genichiro stood up, shook hands and returned the greeting: "I am Ashina Genichiro."

"Is it just this one sentence of introduction?" Konano asked with narrowed eyes, "I don't like anyone..."

"Pah!" Immortal Kawan Saneya suddenly slapped his palm on his vest.

"It hurts!"

"You should stop this guy, Ashina is only nine years old." Fusugawa yelled angrily, "Don't say those weird things! Don't lead the child into mischief!"

"It's obviously you who has a problem, okay? How can you call your savior by his last name?"

Konano Kōkika turned around and said to Genichiro, "That's too outlandish. How about I just call you Genichiro from now on? You can do the same, just call me by my name."

"No problem." Genichiro nodded.

"That's great, Genichiro."

Jin Ye looked at Immortal River again, "It's time for you to change your story, right?"

"..."

Immortal Sichuan froze there, opening and closing his mouth. Obviously, as he didn't have many friends, it was quite a difficult task for him to directly call other people by their names every time.

It's even harder than insulting Muzan Kibutsuji in person.

Seeing his expression, even Genichiro didn't want to trouble him in this regard.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look what your pretty face has become."

Konano Kuangikan said with a smile, "It took me a full year to get him to call me by my first name!"

"Get out of here!"

Immortal River flew up and kicked the senior brother out of the big hole he just opened.

I'm not annoyed when I'm close to Jinye Kuang.

"I will return this kick to you intact later on the martial arts field! I'll go over there and lay out the straw mats and stones first. Don't make me wait any longer!"

After saying that, he left with cheerful steps, creating a relaxing and pleasant rhythm on the stairs, leaving only Fusukawa and Genichiro in the room.

Without the large heater with too high power, the atmosphere suddenly became colder.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't say it, you don't have to say it. Don't embarrass yourself."

Seeing Fusukawa still holding back his ultimate move, with sweat oozing out from his forehead in the middle of winter, Genichiro wanted to persuade him to give up.

Both of them are bad at interpersonal relationships, and he can completely empathize with Fusukawa.

After all, in Japan, a country that likes to dig into details, a change of title means the progress of the relationship and acknowledgment of a person's weight in your heart.

Presumptuously changing names, even between people of the same gender, is a very frivolous thing.

Therefore, in the entire Demon Slayer Squad, there is only one person in the Demon Slayer Corps who is willing to directly call him by his first name: Kuangchi.

Even the butterfly Kanae has just risen from a flower column to a butterfly.

It can be seen that it is quite difficult to live in the heart of the Immortal River.

But he didn't expect that after Genichiro said this, Fusukawa Saneya felt motivated and suddenly squeezed out three words: "Genichiro."

Genichiro felt a kind of... a different kind of warmth for no reason. Compared with straight-ball players like Hanashira and Sumino Kuangikan, the goodwill shown by Fusukawa's boring gourd was actually more precious.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, the sun peeked out from the high window outside, and illuminated the entire room through the paper door that Kusano had torn open, shrouding the two people in it, and casting long shadows.

Immortal River seemed to be unable to bear this short silence, and hurriedly said: "Counting this time, I have already owed you twice, and I have used such precious things..."

According to his awkward character, it is really distressing to suddenly owe such a huge favor and not know how to repay it.

Especially the incense he absorbed yesterday not only healed his old scars and hidden wounds on various parts of his body, but even his withered grass-like hair became supple. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he looked brand new.

Although he usually looks fierce and evil, and all his thoughts are focused on killing ghosts, it is really nonsense to say that he does not feel inferior at all because of his appearance.

After all, how can any sixteen or seventeen-year-old child be afraid of strangers looking at his face? Especially if he is often said to look like the evil spirit he hates most, his mood will be even worse (and then he will look more like an evil spirit)

Ghost).

This time, Genichiro not only solved his physical dangers, but also cut off some of his psychological weaknesses.

At least, if he were asked to talk to Butterfly Kanae now, he wouldn't be so resistant.

"If I didn't save you last time, I wouldn't have survived alone. And helping you this time is just incidental. Ubuyashiki and I have made it very clear that this God-Eating Stone is an investment in your Demon Slayer Corps.

.”

Genichiro responded quite calmly, "So you don't have to care so much, it's just a purely business relationship. If Ubuyashiki doesn't have that bell, I won't care about your senior brother's life or death."

He told the truth.

He didn't know at the time that rescuing Suino Kuangich would actually reduce the skill points required for "merit", and this skill couldn't be activated automatically, so he could only wait for it to be perfected on its own.
To be continued...
