Big Eater / Lower Rank Four

"Oh dear, Okita-san is really scary."

She took out a mirror and looked at the evil spirit, which instantly turned to ashes.

This mirror is Tamamo no Mae's Noble Phantasm, the Tamamo Stone, a true divine treasure, the embodiment of the sun.

Tamamo no Mae herself also possesses the solar attribute, so it's no exaggeration to say that she is the nemesis of these demons.

Unfortunately, she was indifferent to things that didn't concern her, and despite Okita Souji's repeated invitations, she couldn't get her to agree to help kill the demon.

"What brings you here, Miss Tamamo?"

Okita Souji looked at Tamamo no Mae with a puzzled expression. She had tried to ask her for help several times, but had not received a response.

Now that he has actually shown up to clean up the mess for her, Okita Souji is very puzzled.

"Little Tamamo is going on a trip!"

Tamamo no Mae had a big smile on her face, and it was clear that she was in a very good mood.

"I've come to say goodbye. From now on, you'll be all alone here."

Travel?

Okita Souji was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. It made sense for this person to want to travel, so she didn't have any further doubts.

"Then take good care of yourself."

Okita Souji had no intention of traveling together; she was more accustomed to this land, the place where she had once fought.

"Okay! I'll come find you again later, Little Tamamo."

Tamamo no Mae hurriedly left again. She had more important things to do. Her meeting with Okita Souji was merely to inform her.

As a companion, this is the limit of what Tamamo no Mae would do; as for Master or anything like that, she wouldn't utter a single word.

This Okita-san is a formidable rival, Tamamo no Mae certainly wouldn't want to make things more difficult for herself.

"Little Tamamo should go find her own happiness, Okita-san can continue to protect the people here," Tamamo no Mae herself.

Tamamo no Mae left, Okita Souji looked at the sky; it was still a long time before dawn.

She decided to continue patrolling Kyoto, searching for the cannibals hiding in the shadows.

Chapter 5, Section 318: The Big Eater

Wow! It's a train!

Upon seeing the train parked at the platform, the children excitedly shouted.

Although it wasn't their first time taking the train, they still really enjoyed this mode of transportation.

Yuxian smiled and shook his head; he didn't have much hope for trains in this era.

It looks similar to the Eyeball Collection Train, but the facilities inside are completely different and incomparable.

Sure enough, once inside the train, the facilities were so basic it was heartbreaking. Rows of simple seats were arranged in the carriages, with nothing else superfluous.

The train carriages were sparsely populated with passengers carrying large and small bags of luggage, and the environment inside was poor.

If there were other modes of transportation available, Yuxian would never have chosen to take the train.

Fortunately, taking the train is considered a high-end expense in this era, and ordinary people rarely have such an opportunity, so the carriages are not crowded.

This might be the only place where Yuxian feels a little comfortable.

Waaaaah—

With the steam-powered locomotive sounding its whistle, the train slowly started moving, its speed not fast.

Fortunately, the distance from Kyoto to Tokyo is not too far, and it's still within Yuxian comfort zone. I should arrive at my destination around sunset.

At first, the children were quite curious and pressed their faces against the window, looking at the scenery on both sides.

Gradually, they also began to feel bored and sat down to take a nap.

Lunch was provided on the bus. It didn't taste too bad and was enough to fill our stomachs. We couldn't ask for more.

While they were eating, Yuxian heard a noisy discussion.

A few words drifted into his ears and instantly caught Yuxian's attention.

"Beautiful", "feminine", "big appetite"...

Connecting these words together, a figure immediately came to mind for Yuxian.

His eyes lit up. Could it be that the person in Great Britain who had the biggest appetite was also on this vehicle?

Yuxian quickly stuffed the food in his hand into his mouth and said indistinctly, "You guys stay here and don't leave, I'll go take a look."

He walked toward the noise, struggling through the crowd at the junction.

After he passed through the connecting gate and entered another carriage, he saw a woman eating quickly in front of him.

A stack of empty plates was piled high next to her, and the train attendant was serving her, sweating profusely. She was a little startled.

"No..."

Yuxian shook his head in disappointment.

The woman who was focused on preparing food was not one of the Chaldea.

She has long, cherry-pink hair, which she braids into three long plaits, with the ends showing a light grass-green hue.

Her eyes were also grass-green, and beneath each of those large eyes was a beauty mark, making her a truly beautiful girl.

Kanroji Mitsuri.

The Love Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, a girl who joined the Demon Slayer Corps in order to find a suitable lover.

A few grains of rice clung to the corner of her mouth, and she wore a snow-white haori with a slight bulge at her waist—that was where she concealed her Nichirin Blade.

After encountering Tomioka Giyuu last time, Yuxian once again encountered a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Yuxian turned back without greeting her, especially since others were eating.

"Senior?"

Mash looked at Yuxian with a questioning gaze when she saw that he had returned so quickly.

"It's Kanroji Mitsuri, the Love Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps... She has a huge appetite too..."

After explaining for Yuxian, Yu Xian sat down again and remained silent.

"You seem somewhat disappointed, senior?"

"It's alright." Yuxian shook his head. "It's really unlikely that we'll run into Artoria here."

After calming down and thinking it over, Yuxian realized that although Artoria had a big appetite, she was a very polite person.

I would never eat and drink recklessly in front of so many strangers, disregarding my image.

"How big? How big?" The children were very curious after hearing this, and were very interested in how big Kanroji Mitsuri's appetite was.

"Let's go take a look too."

The children, who had been a little listless, suddenly became interested and decided to go see just how much Kanroji Mitsuri could eat.

"Don't bother them, it's impolite."

Yuxian stopped them, as it was impolite to have strangers watching, and he also didn't really want to get involved with the Demon Slayer Corps.

His main purpose in coming to this world was to find people, not to kill ghosts.

Of course, if he were to encounter Muzan Kibutsuji, he wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to rid the people of this menace.

"We'll just take a look from a distance; we won't disturb them."

The children wouldn't give up so easily. Yuxian could say anything more, they had all run away like a swarm of bees.

He could only shake his head helplessly and let them go.

Before long, the children returned, talking to each other as they walked.

"I don't think her appetite is big enough; she definitely can't compare to that Saber."

"How do you know? They haven't even had a competition."

"Where would there be a competition? Just think about it, that Saber can eat such a big cake in an instant."

Gretel is still bothered by what happened in her dream.

Yuxian gently patted her head, "Don't gossip about others behind their backs."

The children then stopped the conversation.

The long journey finally came to an end, and as dusk fell, the train arrived at its final destination Tokyo.

As he exited the station and looked at the bustling crowd, Yuxian stretched. After sitting on the hard seat for so long, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

"Let's find a place to rest today, and we'll start taking everyone shopping tomorrow."

No one objected; whatever Yuxian said went. After a day on the train, they weren't in the mood to go out and have fun.

That night, Yuxian was resting in his hotel room and had just drifted off to sleep when he was suddenly awakened by a commotion.

"What happens?"

He sat up in bed instantly.

The children were also woken up, rubbing their sleepy eyes with displeasure on their faces.

Being woken up from your sleep is indeed a very annoying thing.

"Senior, there are sounds of fighting outside."

"This is so annoying! Can't a person get any sleep?!"

The children were furious and decided to teach those bad people who were disturbing their sleep a lesson.

Now that he was awake, there was no way he could go back to sleep in this situation, Yuxian had no choice but to go and see who was fighting.

"Huh? It's that older sister with the big appetite."

The one fighting was Kanroji Mitsuri, who wielded Nichirin Blade that was as supple as a whip. The blade, which could extend and retract at will, was dazzling to behold as she danced with it.

Yuxian understood immediately; Kanroji Mitsuri had indeed come here with a mission.

It was quite a coincidence that it happened near the hotel where they were staying.

Tokyo is so big, how did he end up running into it again?

Chapter 6, Section 319: The Fourth Lower Rank Four

Kanroji Mitsuri was in the middle of a battle when she saw Yuxian and his group come out of the house and come outside. She looked very anxious.

She shouted, "Go back quickly! It's dangerous here!"

In her eyes, Yuxian and his group were just ordinary civilians with several children by their side, and they were powerless to fight back when facing ghosts.

Unable to bear witnessing such a horrific scene, she anxiously urged them to escape quickly.

"We're not afraid at all!"

The children, however, were not appreciative of her gesture. They watched the demons battling Kanroji Mitsuri with eager expressions on their faces.

Now that I'm awake, it's a good time to move around.

"Hehe, this is really good food."

The evil spirits looked on with delight when they saw the children around Yuxian.

"I love eating children, especially little girls, because they are so tender and delicious."
