Chapter 37 - Godfather

Gimme those precious stones!

***********************************************************************************

The soft chuckles of a small child filled the small house.

While Uta was still fast asleep, yoriichi and yuuji had cleaned up their mess as much as they could. Thankfully the collateral damage was contained to a single spot instead of being scattered throughout the slums.

Putting the other humans to sleep, the duo entered the house only to see the newborn wide awake.

The small figure was moving around, trying to satiate its curiosity.

Yoriichi approached his child and gently picked him up, carefully hugging the child, he moved closer to yuuji.

"Thank you yuuji." He said, with tears trailing down his eyes as he slightly tilted his body. With the tension of the demon's attack fading away, he now realized how it would've turned out if yuuji had not been present.

He couldn't defend uta while helping her deliver, today, he would've lost his wife and this child no matter how many times he tried.

"I want you to be his godfather, yuuji." Yoriichi spoke out with a firm gaze displaying no signs of backing down from this idea.

Yuuji who was shocked by this statement decided to remain silent until Uta woke up, hoping she would stop this madman.

As he was about to turn around and bolt, he felt a small weight on his hands. Looking down, he saw the baby slowly going towards him from yoricihi's embrace.

Sounds of giggling broke out the baby's lips, as yuuji stood there still as a statue afraid of harming the energetic baby.

'Are babies supposed to be this strong?'

Unfortunately the question would remain unanswered.

....

A shredding rang out as a blurry figure passed through the forest. The demon running away was frantically screaming from fear as it felt the figure rapidly closing in.

He felt his line of vision descending and soon realized his feet were missing after kissing the ground leaving a long thin trail of blood and drool. Turning back he saw the female demon slayer looking at him with her sword pointed to his neck.

"I'll ask you again, where is this anomaly muzan is looking for."

Unable to bear the pressure anymore, the demon opened his mouth to speak out but was interrupted by a giant arm coming out and blocking his throat.

He couldn't even protest as he felt the sword severing his head.

"So I'm guessing you're muzan?" Koko spoke to the small arm now growing into an eye.

"I don't know what you're doing but stay away from yuuji, he's mine." She said with a red glint in her eye.

The demon eye in response squinted, as if enjoying the situation.

"We'll see, little bug."

"Yes." The demon could no longer speak as a bright light filled his vision and the effect of her attack started working. The transparency kept increasing as all the cells stopped functioning and just.....disappeared.

"It's still not enough."

Koko exclaimed after seeing the aftermath of her complete sword art. The constant grinding of sword skills eventually bore fruit as she managed to complete her canvas.

She realized the flaws in her swordplay. She thought the white sword art was meant to be limitlessly versatile. A medium for its user to find the sword style best suited for the swordsman.

While this idea was not wrong, it was just a part of this sword art. It did allow the users to find the ideal sword play, but this idea also acted as a drawback. Just as she originally thought, the white sword art was like a blank canvas. But it was never meant to be tainted with paint.

Without any solid form, it was supposed to resemble an the beauty of a void. To deny the existence of everything except light. That was the purpose of the sword art.

Yoriichi developed the sun breathing technique to burn the demons, while koko developed hers to escape the reality of her situation and achieve salvation. The true concept of this sword style was to change the state of an entity to an abstract form of matter.

But was this enough to kill yuuji, who has abnormal vitality? The sword can only be as strong as its user. Until koko get's strong enough to erase a planet, the chances of her succeeding was close to null.

"I'll get there eventually."

Her pupils lost their glow as her lips slightly curled up. With an obsessed face she moved forth.

'You can't just leave after saying you hypnotized me'

"I'll never let you go yuuji..."
