Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 160 Yellow-haired girl

The passage of time is not noticeable enough to ghosts.

Especially for Rinko.

There is not much difference between a day and a year. Only memories quietly change with the years, but are not noticed by their owners.

So when that yellow-haired 'girl' appeared before him, even though they hadn't seen each other for only a few months, Lin Guang had already forgotten who that face belonged to.

----

There's a new person at Kyogokuya.

This kind of thing doesn't happen every day, but it is part of daily life. Other stores also have staff changes, but because of the existence of Daki, it seems to happen more frequently at Kyogokuya.

Lin Guang saw a white-haired man and a yellow-haired girl walking into the store in the attic, and soon after the white-haired man left, and there was no one behind him. It can be imagined that there should be more members in the store.

As mentioned at the beginning, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and Lin Guang was not curious about it at first.

If she is a very beautiful girl, Duji will pay attention to her, but if she is not a beautiful girl, Duji will not care, and there is no need for him to care.

He would go downstairs specifically to see it because of the sound of the piano. It was played very accurately, with each note in the most appropriate position. Both the pitch and rhythm were amazingly good.

Rinkou had studied the biwa with Mingnu for a while. Although it was not the same instrument, there were similarities. In addition, since he was disguised as a child of Kyogokuya, it was not surprising that he learned a few instruments from the girls.

"That girl plays the shamisen really well."

"Yes, she's very courageous. Is she new here?"

The girls in the store were discussing in low voices at the door. Lingguang slipped over and moved closer to the girls little by little. His body was pressed against the door panel, and he barely managed to stick his little head out from the door panel and look into the room.

The first thing that caught my eye was a girl in a yellow kimono kneeling in the house, with two small buns on her head, playing the shamisen with all her might. I don't know if it was because she was too courageous or because the expression on her face was too bad, but even the girls around her forgot to play and just stared at her blankly.

As the girls were saying, his piano skills were indeed amazing, but his face was also... Perhaps because his expression was too ferocious, that face really couldn't be called beautiful.

But at least the shamisen was played well, Rinko thought.

And there's nothing wrong with not being pretty. In Kyogokuya, or in the entire entertainment district, pretty girls don't seem to have a good ending. They either become the signboard of a store, are carefully dressed up and put on a high platform, and then become commodities that men decide where to go with them based on money.

Although they are called commodities, Lingguang actually feels that those girls are more pitiful than commodities. People are at least willing to cherish things bought with money, but when they spend money to buy a girl's one night, those people would rather beat the girl to pieces and peel off her flesh.

What's more, beautiful girls will not only be liked by men, but there is a high probability that they will be noticed by Dakimakura and become her midnight snack one night.

In contrast, if the new girl is not pretty enough, it at least means that she will not be favored by Daki and will not become her dinner.

That's not a bad thing.

It can even be said to be a good thing, both for the new girl and Rinko.

Because Lin Guang doesn't care what the other person looks like.

He thought that he was willing to be friends with the new girl, no matter whether she was pretty enough or not. Anyway, those with six eyes on their faces, tattoos all over their bodies, big bumps on their heads, and even those with distinctive ghost features like Yu Hu could be his friends.

Where did this go?

With this in mind, he slowly moved to the door and cast his gaze over there again. This time, it was no longer just a casual glance, but a formal gaze. He had no ill intentions, he just wanted to take a serious look at what kind of person his future friend was.

But just this one glance made him tilt his head slightly.

What he saw was no longer just the girl's appearance. What he captured was the light shining on her body, which was like a torch and a candle compared to the people around her.

The overly obvious light symbolizes that the girl's strength is not weak. She can be compared with Hinazuru and the others, and perhaps she is even stronger.

Ah, so the Demon Slayer Corps has a new member? They were caught just before when someone disguised themselves and infiltrated, and they're using the same tactics again? Is this true?

But what is the possibility that she is not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, but just a girl who has been practicing martial arts since childhood?

----

"So you mean the Demon Slayer Corps has sent someone again?"

Daki's tone didn't sound surprised or nervous at all, as if the fact that the Demon Slayer Corps had sent a new swordsman was far less important than helping Rinko put on her makeup.

"Maybe, not sure. She looks a little powerful, but not very powerful. Not comparable to the pillars I've met before. Just a little more powerful than the ones I've met recently..."

But if I work harder for a few more years, maybe I can catch up with Daki.

Lin Guang only thought about this in his heart and did not say it out loud. The reason why it is called Dakimime instead of Upper Six is because there is a Jifu Taro behind Dakimime, who is much stronger than Dakimime. When they are together, they are the real Upper Six.

So he is just a slightly powerful Demon Slayer swordsman.

After all, Daki herself is not strong enough to be recognized by Lin Guang.

"But you said that she was an ugly girl, right?"

The head that was slightly shifted because of looking away was straightened by Duji. Her slender fingers gently pinched the chin, but she used an irresistible force to keep the little head in the position she liked most.

"I didn't say that. I just said she wasn't very pretty, that's all."

The subtle differences in words reveal the different focuses and emotions of the two parties in the conversation.

The strength of the fingers pinching his chin was subtle, not heavy enough to make Lin Guang uncomfortable, but not light enough for him to resist or ignore. In order to break free from such control, Lin Guang held his head up and maintained that angle.

"If she's not pretty enough, then she's ugly, right? I don't want to eat an ugly bastard. If you like it, go play by yourself. Haven't you been having trouble finding friends lately? Since you came to me on your own initiative, even if you find something wrong with you, at least he won't fight with you, right? Besides, he definitely won't recognize little Rinko dressed like this."

Rinko didn't doubt the last sentence. After all, Daki herself had been hiding here in disguise and had never been recognized by anyone because of her face. And Rinko, who was dressed up by her, had also been hiding her identity here smoothly.

Lin Guang blinked, and Daki drew the makeup on the corners of his eyes. After the job was done, Daki finally let him go free. Lin Guang looked at his face in the mirror that he almost couldn't recognize, and nodded slightly.

"Well, let's give it a try."
