Inventory of Chaos: Iconic Scenes That Shattered Everyone Instantly Chapter 69: ICISEI Episode 69

Episode 69: The peaceful life is broken after the Demon King is born

『 Thinking of this, Kokushibo, who had always believed himself inferior to his younger brother in many aspects, felt a seed of jealousy quietly sprouting in his heart.

Once this seedling of jealousy was planted, it would rapidly take root, grow wildly, and be difficult to eradicate.

From then on, Kokushibo was trapped in a vortex of jealousy and resentnt, gradually sliding down the path of evil.

Of course, these changes were stories for later. 』

『 At this ti, in the video,

Tsugikuni Yoriichi had entered his youth,

And had been arranged by his father to live in a temple.

And not long after,

In that place called the Tsugikuni family,

The head of the family suddenly realized that his youngest son, Tsugikuni Yoriichi, had been hiding amazing talent since he was sent to beco a monk.

"What did you say!? Yoriichi has such extraordinary talent?"

"It’s true, Lord Head of the Family. He simply watched others practice martial arts and easily defeated an experienced samurai," a samurai reported respectfully.

These words shocked the father.

"This, how is it possible?... My son possesses such talent?"

But when he realized that the son he had always regarded as an ominous on,

Possessed extraordinary swordsmanship talent,

He decided in his heart.

Then, he waved his hand,....

"In that case... quickly, send soone to bring him back to !"

That’s right, after learning that his son possessed such genius potential,

Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s father’s attitude underwent a complete change.

The forr disdain instantly turned into doting?

In the end, what he loved was not the son himself, but the talent they could display.

In the past, because Kokushibo showed more talent, coupled with the abnormalities on Yoriichi’s body, he was regarded as a curse.

Now that his son’s ability was outstanding, his treatnt naturally had to be improved.

However, these scenes were all seen by Kokushibo, who was hiding in the dark corner.

He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes filled with gloom. 』

[ Kotori Itsuka (Date A Live): "Their relationship was so good before...." ]

[ Uzaki Hana (Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai): "That’s right, it’s such a pity." ]

[ Oosawa Maria (Cannan): "Before, this elder brother had been jealous of his younger brother." ]

[ Najenda (Aka Ga Kill): "Moreover, his feelings for his younger brother are not affection, but pity for the weak." ]

[ Najenda (Aka Ga Kill): "Now that he sees that the weak one is about to surpass him, he has different feelings." ]

[ Kokushibo (Demon Slayer): "....." ]

『 On the other hand,.....

The person sent to the temple to welco Tsugikuni Yoriichi back brought back shocking news:

Tsugikuni Yoriichi was not in the temple at all and had already left.

Just as everyone was wondering where Yoriichi had gone if he hadn’t gone to the temple,

The cara turned, revealing his whereabouts.

In a vast grassland, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was speeding through the endless grass.

He was panting heavily, his breathing labored.

Sweat poured down his forehead, and his clothes were soaked from running for a long ti.

From sunrise to moonrise,

He trudged through this valley with difficulty, each step appearing unusually strenuous.

The sky was gray as if its light had been obscured by sothing.

In Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s eyes, the world was only black and white, with no more color.

Dust flew under his feet, and his body was covered in mud and the sour sll of sweat.

He felt as if he had been forgotten as if he had been abandoned.

But, ...

Even so, Tsugikuni Yoriichi felt a sense of ease he had never experienced before,

A feeling that could not be experienced in that dull family.

He was imrsed in the joy of the evening breeze blowing across his face and the gentle breeze caressing his body,

That freshness made his whole body feel a hundred tis more energetic.

Even on this lonely night, that feeling made his heart feel wonderful.

Because he had finally escaped his father’s control,

He had also cleverly concealed himself from those who pointed fingers at him behind his back.

The moon shone on his shoulders, and he seed to have beco a liberated person.

At this ti, Tsugikuni Yoriichi, letting the sweat slide down his warm cheeks,

The pure and innocent smile on the corner of his mouth was dazzlingly bright,

Like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, or the colorful clouds in the sky at dusk.

It may sound a little funny,

But being able to run freely, even at his age, was the happiest thing.

"Huff... huff~" Between breaths, warm air rose with his breath, bypassed his spine, and finally floated in front of his nose, turning into wisps of faint mist.

In his mind, mories surged like a tide—his older brother Kokushibo’s careful care, his mother’s forever warm love.

These warm mories all flooded into Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s heart at this mont, exceptionally warm.

Just then, he ran freely on the grass, passing through the trees, and stepping over the stones.

He took deep breaths of the fresh air around him, enjoying this brief freedom, embracing everything that made him feel no longer cold, because he had bravely resisted his father’s wishes and escaped the restraints his father had placed on him.

This feeling was like being thrown into his deceased mother’s warm embrace once again.

"Ha..." He savored this emotion in his heart and unconsciously looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

Suddenly, the originally calm him burst into laughter, a laughter that was filled with joy for the first ti, and his dim eyes slowly began to sparkle. 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Even though so many things have happened, his mood feels a lot better." ]

[ Tartaglia (Genshin Impact): "Oh? You can actually see that?" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Hmph." ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "He’s been released from such a long period of repression, it’s normal to be happy." ]

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "I can, I can really feel his heartfelt happiness." ]

[ Utaha Kasumigaoka (Saekano): "Yes." ]

[ .....]

『 Tsugikuni Yoriichi kept running, completely unaware of the passage of ti.

It wasn’t until he stopped, rested a little, and his strength recovered slightly that he realized where he was—next to a well-organized farm field.

Seeing this unprecedented scene, he was a little confused for a mont.

Although the feeling of gaining freedom was wonderful, he couldn’t help but wonder how he would live his life in the future.

As an unloved child in a samurai family, although he didn’t lack food and clothing, he had never been in contact with farm fields, let alone farming.

Now that he was alone, how to solve the problem of eating had beco the most urgent thing.

Confused, Tsugikuni Yoriichi looked around, trying to find a way to survive, slowly stood up, and wandered around this unfamiliar place, exploring a way out.

Before long, he t a girl, a woman who would change the fate of the second half of his life.

This girl was about the sa age as him, and her eyes were deep, like obsidian.

During their conversation, he learned that her na was quite simple, but very nice—Uta.

"What are you doing?" Tsugikuni Yoriichi asked her softly.

Uta, who was busy with her work, felt a strange man approaching and was quite flustered at first.

Perhaps because Tsugikuni Yoriichi was handso, the girl’s nervousness quickly disappeared, replaced by a sense of ease.

Then, Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s question received the little girl’s answer.

"Because my family has all been taken away by illness, and now I feel so lonely, I want to take these little tadpoles back to keep company."

When the little girl spoke, her face carried a bit of sadness, but she also seed to reveal a little joy as she imagined having little tadpoles to accompany her in the future.

"So that’s how it is..." Tsugikuni Yoriichi replied with a smile after hearing this.

Then, as if he had thought of sothing, he sighed softly.

"It seems that we are both in the sa boat, both so lonely."

Unexpectedly, when the little girl heard Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s words,

She gave him a faint smile:

"Oh, is that so?"

The girl was silent for a while, and suggested, "Why don’t you co with to catch tadpoles to take ho?"

After hearing this, Tsugikuni Yoriichi raised his eyes in surprise: "Can I?... Alright."

"Really?" After receiving the answer, the girl looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi in disbelief: "But, we just t, we didn’t know each other before."

"You." The girl asked hesitantly, "You, do you really want to catch tadpoles with here?"

"That’s right, I really want to play with you," Tsugikuni Yoriichi said expectantly.

For so reason, he felt that the person in front of him was particularly compatible with him.

"You’re really a strange person," the little girl, Uta, said softly.

However, having soone by her side did make her feel a lot more at ease.

In those days, living alone was not easy.

Uta, who was left alone, naturally understood this very well.

So, from that ti on, Uta let Tsugikuni Yoriichi stay by her side and catch tadpoles in the rice fields together.

Before long, Uta caught a few tadpoles,

This unexpected harvest made her burst into laughter.

However, after catching the tadpoles, Uta put them all back into the river.

Then, she said to Tsugikuni Yoriichi:

"I always feel that letting these little guys leave their hos is as pitiful as my situation."

After thinking about it, Uta stood up and said calmly, "Let’s forget it, I’ll just go back by myself, the tadpoles should also go ho."

"Then... can I go ho with you?" Tsugikuni Yoriichi also stood up neatly and requested Uta.

Anyway, he didn’t know where to go now, so it wouldn’t be bad to go ho with Uta, after all, they were both quite lonely.

Just like that, Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Uta began to live together in the mountains.

Every day with Uta, Tsugikuni Yoriichi discovered that the world was full of beauty.

Their everyday life was fresh and interesting.

As ti passed, Tsugikuni Yoriichi began to notice a change.

He had a special feeling for Uta.

This feeling was sothing he had never felt before, a new experience from childhood to adulthood.

During their days of living together, a vague feeling called love quietly sprouted and slowly grew stronger.

Ten years passed like this, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Uta beca husband and wife.

Although they had no parents, no relatives, or friends,

The two depended on each other and supported each other in the embrace of nature,

Living a simple life full of warmth.

In these peaceful and happy days, their feelings grew deeper and deeper because of care and trust.

Their love was looking forward to a beautiful mont—

Their little baby was about to be born.

"Woo....!!!" One night, Uta was about to give birth and cried out in pain.

"Hang in there, you can definitely do it," Tsugikuni Yoriichi stayed by Uta’s side, gently comforting her.

"Don’t worry, everything will be fine, our child will definitely be healthy."

Listening to her husband’s encouragent, Uta’s expression slowly relaxed.

"Yeah, I’ll do my best for our baby."

Seeing that things were about to be perfect,

But the day before, Uta was about to give birth,

The midwife who had agreed to co, for so reason, did not appear at the critical mont.

This made Tsugikuni Yoriichi anxious, and he ran down the mountain to find the midwife.

On the way, he helped an old woman, which delayed him for a while.

Because he could foresee his mother’s illness, he naturally knew the ti of Uta’s delivery, so he took the ti to do a good deed.

As a result, when he rushed back ho, the situation was completely different....

As Tsugikuni Yoriichi rushed back to his ho from the foot of the mountain in a hurry,

He found that only Uta’s voice was waiting for him at ho, as well as the unborn child in her womb.

But at this ti, they had been ruthlessly killed by demons of unknown origin. 』

『 The scene before his eyes,

Two corpses, cold and piercing, exuded a disgusting and frightening sll.

The surrounding cold wind blew hard, but it couldn’t blow away the pain in Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s heart.

He was hit hard again, the person he loved was gone, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi hugged Uta like this for several days and nights.

He thought he could finally catch a bit of happiness,

He thought he could live a good life quietly.

But why did things turn out like this?

Days passed like this.

Until a few days later, a person who followed the demons’ footprints—the ancestor of the Rengoku family, as a mber of the Demon Slayer Corps, stood at the door of Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s house. 』

~Demon Slayer World~

~Demon Slayer Corps~

All the mbers of the Demon Slayer Corps present couldn’t help but look at the Fla Pillar, Rengoku Kyoujurou, behind them when they saw that iconic hairstyle.

It seed that the one who invited Tsugikuni Yoriichi to join the Demon Slayer Corps was a certain ancestor of the Rengoku family.

As the video progressed, so of the mories in Rengoku Kyoujurou’s heart slowly revived.

Sun Breathing... Thirteenth Form..

~Infinity Castle~

After seeing the situation before him, Muzan Kibutsuji’s face was very ugly.

He never expected it.

That terrifying existence did not initially want to eliminate him.

But because his wife was killed by a certain demon who didn’t have eyes, the other party joined that human organization.

In an instant.

Thinking of his past misery, the aura on Muzan Kibutsuji’s body beca unusually terrifying.

The surrounding demons all knelt on the ground.

Completely unaware of what had happened to their king.

However, not knowing what had happened, they also knew that their king was angry because of the birth of his fear.

.....

『 At this ti, after the other party’s explanation, Tsugikuni Yoriichi knew for the first ti that there was such a creature as a "demon" in the world.

It was also from the other party’s words that Tsugikuni Yoriichi firmly confird one thing:

It was because there were those ugly demons in this world that the peaceful life he wanted had beco a dream.

Soon after, under the other party’s persuasion, he personally buried his wife and children, whom he had always loved and left at ho.

Then, he made a brocade pouch from his wife’s remaining clothes to store the flute given to him by his brother. 』
