Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 5 Pg 100

“You brainless demon slayer! You’re annoying, so I

could do that right now, right here, but humans don’t just turn into

dust and disappear like demons. If you do that to someone in the

human world, it’ll become a problem. It’ll end up on the news and

Tokimori will worry.”

“You could eat me to destroy the

evidence. Demons love human flesh, don’t they?”

Yato barked

back at Hoshiai’s provocation.

“I’m not going to eat you!

Tokimori wouldn’t like it, and if I ate something like you my energy

would swell well over a hundred fold! It would take a lot of work to

make myself small and look weak that way.”

“Don’t all

demons eat humans?”

“I don’t care about other

demons!”

“Why do you hide your true form from your demon

master?”

“Do you want me to kill you that

badly!?”

Getting increasingly angry, Yato unintentionally broke

his own rule and spoke that taboo word. He wasn’t hiding it from him

because he wanted to. Tokimori would be afraid, so he had no choice.

He had bad history with Tokimori when he was born until he was five

years old. All he would do is watch from outside through the window

and it still made him sob. Even so, he would eagerly smile at him,

but it would make him cry so hard he would have a hard time

breathing, and made him look like he was dying. Yato remembered vividly even

now how Tokimori’s face would turn a color he wasn’t sure was red or purple, or perhaps a pale blue.
