In any case, after dealing with Muzan's matter for a while, Tanjirou and the others chose to recuperate and undergo new special training at the Demon Slayer Corps.
And Yuto returned to the main world with Maki. Having stayed in the Demon Slayer world for about two years, with a 100:1 conversion rate, Yuto had been away for about a week.
"Hey, where did this beauty come from? Wearing such a seductive kimono at this late hour, are you a courtesan from a nearby brothel?"
As Yuto and Maki walked out of the alley, they happened to encounter a middle-aged salaryman who was completely drunk at the alley's entrance.
The man was clearly very drunk, and with Maki's fiery figure and alluring appearance, he took the opportunity to try and grope her while drunk.
Seeing the lecherous middle-aged man about to approach, Maki's expression showed clear disgust.
"Lord Yuto, can I kill him?"
When she said this, Yuto could tell that Maki was not joking from her calm expression.
If Yuto had nodded slightly at this moment, the middle-aged man would likely have ended up dead on the street.
Whether in her previous demon form or her current youkai form, Maki had never placed much value on human life.
"You're quite wild, little beauty, but I like your type the most. When you scream later, it will be even more exciting."
The drunk middle-aged man, clearly thinking Maki was joking, laughed strangely and reached out his dirty hand towards Maki's ample chest...
"Ah——————!"
But before he could succeed, Yuto, who had been ignored, stretched out his hand and directly broke the drunkard's arm.
"This world is different from your previous one. Unless it's a special situation, don't kill people casually.
The technology in this world is very advanced, and if you kill someone, it will be very troublesome to deal with later. In such situations, just give them a lesson and knock them out."
While looking at Maki, Yuto demonstrated by breaking the drunkard's hand with one hand and then striking the back of his neck with the other, knocking him out before he could scream.
When he wakes up tomorrow, he will probably just think that he was being a scoundrel and ran into a tough guy who knocked him out.
Since the Demon Slayer world is more like an ancient society, it's normal for Maki to be unaccustomed to the modern world when she first arrived.
Yuto patiently explained the basics to Maki while leading her home.
With the addition of Maki to the previous Nekomata, the house they had rented was now a bit too small for Yuto's family.
"If you don't leave now, I'll call the police. I've told you how many times that our Yuto won't join your 'Abnormal Countermeasures Group.' How many times do I have to say it?
He's still a student, do you understand? No matter how many times you come, it won't work."
Although Yuto had lived in the Demon Slayer world for two years, he was still very familiar with the way home in the main world.
However, as he was about to return home with Maki, a scene that puzzled Yuto occurred at the door.
His mother, Tenjouin Masami, who was usually timid, was now holding a broom and driving someone away.
And the person she was driving away was none other than Shingyou Shinto, who had tried to recruit Yuto multiple times.
"Mrs. Tenjouin, please calm down. I know you don't want your child to get involved in the affairs of the Onmyoji family and just want to live a peaceful life.
But your child is a very talented seed. To bury such talent is simply a waste..."
Shinto, with a cigarette in his mouth, was about to say more, but his slightly melancholic face was directly hit by Masami's broom.
Shinto found Yuto's house the day after Yuto left.
Because of Yuto's extraordinary potential and his background as a fallen Onmyoji, the process was almost entirely green-lighted.
So Shinto quickly obtained all the relevant information and prepared to recruit Yuto again.
At first, Shinto thought that the biggest obstacle to Yuto joining the 'Abnormal Countermeasures Group' was Yuto's own will.
As for the others in Yuto's family, his young sister aside, Yuto's mother, Tenjouin Masami, was a genuine member of the Onmyoji family.
Reviving the 'Tenjouin family' should be something that Masami, born into an Onmyoji family, would be eager to do.
At first, Shinto thought this way and even planned to have Masami help convince Yuto.
The idea was good, but the reality was vastly different from what he had imagined.
When Masami heard that he was from the 'Abnormal Countermeasures Group,' which specifically dealt with youkai, she immediately swept him out the door...
Although she was a member of the Onmyoji family, Tenjouin Masami had no sense of honor that Shinto expected from an Onmyoji. She was completely different from the Onmyoji he had encountered before.
Even after being swept out, Shinto did not give up and continued to show up every day.
At first, he only received closed doors, but eventually, the exasperated Masami started to physically attack the thick-skinned Shinto.
For Masami, no matter what reasons Shinto gave, she would never let Yuto join the 'Abnormal Countermeasures Group.'
Isn't that obvious? Who knows Yuto's identity better than his mother?
The 'Abnormal Countermeasures Group' is an official organization for eliminating youkai. Yuto, being a half-youkai, would be sending himself to the enemy's camp.
She had avoided even the police before, let alone an organization that specifically dealt with youkai.
As for the honor of the Onmyoji family, she was sorry, but her childhood experiences made it impossible for her to have such a luxury.
Although she didn't know how Yuto had fooled the 'Abnormal Countermeasures Group,' she would absolutely not agree to Yuto joining it. There was no room for negotiation.
