Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 144 Little Boy and Girl

There is a new girl next to the oiran Warabihime at Kyogokuya.

This wasn't a big deal; after all, it was always the courtesan who attracted attention, not the people around her, let alone a child who couldn't receive customers. If anyone was wondering why this incident was mentioned, it was probably because the girls around Warabihime always seemed to change more quickly than the children of other families, and this child was particularly beautiful.

The story of this little girl begins on a night half a month ago.

----

Lin Guang's visits were always expected and unexpected. Even if the boy stepped into the open window blatantly, it would be difficult for him to be noticed.

When Daki realized it, the boy had been standing behind her for a long time, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he tilted his head curiously and watched her carefully put on makeup.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Guang had stayed here for a while, but he mostly played by himself during that time. His deepest impression of this place probably came from the fancy food, various pastries, and various girls. This was the first time he saw the girls appear in public.

"I'm dressing up. I'm the most popular courtesan here. If I want to receive customers, of course I have to dress up beautifully."

Daki's tone was proud and natural, her head raised along with her tone, and the smile on her face was full of pride.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

The courtesan, having finished dressing up, turned around, and the boy tilted his head from side to side before finally nodding seriously.

"Pretty, prettier than the girls I saw when I got here."

The tone was not passionate, and it didn't sound very simple, but such a simple and straightforward expression made Daki chuckle.

"Little Rinko is really good at talking."

"Isn't this natural? My sister is the most beautiful girl in the world. If this kid dares to shake his head, I will twist his head off and dig out his eyes so that he can see clearly."

Lin Guang's gaze shifted slightly, but his body did not move. His ears caught the sound of his feet hitting the ground. It was the sound made by Jifutaro falling from the ceiling.

"Don't say that, brother. Little Rinko is so cute, and her eyes are so beautiful. It would be a shame to dig them out."

She held up the boy's face with her soft and slender fingers and looked into his shining eyes seriously. The affection on her face and in her mouth didn't sound fake.

"I have a good idea, brother."

Jifutaro knew Dakimaki better than any other person or ghost knew her, and he knew best what this tune meant, but he would not be the one to suffer anyway.

"Then do it."

When a second pair of eyes fell on Lin Guang's face, the boy realized belatedly that his situation did not seem very safe.

"Wait. Can I ask you about this part?"

----

----

Of course there is no answer, and of course the actions continue.

Rinko's tolerance became Daki's greatest motivation. Since the boy felt that everything was acceptable so far, she continued to abuse Rinko's body.

"Hey, I never noticed before, but Rinkou can actually be very cute when dressed up—"

If the proprietress had heard such a gentle voice, she would probably have trembled with fear, but the only two people who heard this little girl's coquettish voice were the boy in her arms, who was gradually being dressed as a "girl", and the man sitting next to her who fully supported it. Therefore, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

If there's a problem, it's probably that boys shouldn't be dressed like this.

"Because he's still very young, his bones haven't fully grown yet, his hands and feet are short, and his outlines aren't clear. He even speaks as if he hasn't eaten enough."

Jifutaro reached out and touched Rinkou's shoulder, then poked his thin waist. The boy had small bones and little flesh on his body, but it was not that prominent. In fact, in terms of figure, Rinkou was not much different from him, but Rinkou looked more like a human.

"That sounds a bit rude, but after all, I'm a bigger ghost than you all."

Lin Guang raised his head and looked at Jifu Taro who was sitting on the ground with his head lazily supported. His eyes, as calm as a dead fish, were staring at him.

"Yes, yes, but in reality, he looks like a brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet."

The drawn-out tone and frivolous tone revealed his usual laziness and indiscretion. It was not respectful, but it was also difficult to define as provocative.

“Just watching…”

The sudden tightening of the belt made Lin Guang swallow the rest of his words.

"It's a bit tight and not very comfortable."

Lin Guang raised his arm, so he just nodded with his chin. Da Ji looked left and right for a while before slightly adjusting the tightness.

"Rinkou really looks like a girl, with a very thin waist."

"He's skinny everywhere, his arms and legs, even his bones, idiot."

The voice was clearly the same, but both the tone and the expression were different from when she spoke to him. Rinko looked at Jifutaro and then at Daki, and felt that her position here seemed a little awkward.

It was like being treated like a child who had just been weaned.

"It's much better now. Akaza said I look a little taller than before and that I have more strength."

It was hard to tell whether he was unwilling to accept it or wanted to deliberately interrupt the atmosphere, or maybe he was just taking revenge for the behavior of toying with him, but Lin Guang suddenly spoke, and the bickering between the siblings stopped, and the attention was focused on him again.

But this is actually not a good idea.

Lin Guang quickly realized it, but it was too late.

----

Jifutaro was considered an accomplice. He gave positive suggestions and became a witness to everything, but he was not actually involved in it, so Lin Guang could not cause trouble for him.

As for the instigator, Du Ji.

Lin Guang felt that he seemed to have seen such a girl before. Maybe he had seen her before, or maybe it was an illusion, but the memory was not important. What was important was that he felt that Daki was a naughty girl, and in terms of intelligence, she might be younger than him.

So he couldn't retaliate, he just let it go, and this was the end result.

There was a new girl beside Daki, no, there was a new girl beside Bracken. The proprietress was very satisfied with this docile and obedient child, but was also surprised that Bracken would fall in love with a child she picked up from somewhere. But after all, Bracken was the one who had the final say here, so she just nodded in approval and handed the child over to her completely.

-

"how do you feel?"

"It's nothing special. It's interesting, but not very interesting."

What he said didn't sound like human language, and in fact it was not human language. Jifutaro glanced at Rinko, just a glance, then withdrew his attention and just looked at Daki who was enjoying dinner on the side.

"Think it's fun here?"

“It’s fun, but it’s not fun either.”

It's still nonsense.

Jifutaro's patience with the child was exhausted. He stood up and didn't bother to pay attention to Rinko anymore. Rinko just squatted there, thinking about the two questions just now.

Being dressed as a girl is fun, but that's only at first; once you get used to it, it's no longer fun. It's like a tourist attraction: it's lively and fun, but once you get used to it, it's no longer fun.

“But it’s not annoying.”
