After leaving Sanlang's home, Luo Men and Tanjirou walked together and soon arrived outside the Kamado Family's house. Nezuko also sensed the commotion outside and came out.
"Brother... Oh, Big Brother Luo Men is back too?"
"That's right, it's Big Brother Luo Men. Let's go inside first."
Saying this, Tanjirou invited Luo Men inside.
"Tanjirou is really becoming more and more like the head of the Kamado Family."
He said with a smile, and seeing Tanjirou's face flush slightly, Luo Men didn't say much more and followed Tanjirou into the house.
"Brother..."
Perhaps sensing Tanjirou's return, the little ones emerged one after another. Except for Rokuta, the youngest, who had already fallen asleep early, all the others ran out and surrounded Tanjirou.
As for Luo Men, although these little ones had an impression of him, they were still a bit unfamiliar after not seeing him for over a year. Children, unless they see someone regularly, find it hard to feel close to them.
Therefore, watching the little ones interact with Tanjirou, Luo Men chatted with Nezuko for a bit.
"It's so late already, I thought you weren't coming back. It's still a bit dangerous to go up the mountain after dark."
Kamado Kie came out from the inner room, and seeing Tanjirou surrounded by his younger siblings, she also showed a gentle smile and then asked, "Have you eaten? I'll go warm up some food."
Tanjirou quickly waved his hand to stop her, saying, "No need, Mom, Big Brother Luo Men and I just ate at Grandpa Sanlang's place."
"Oh, Luo Men is back too?"
At this moment, Mrs. Kie noticed Luo Men, who was currently chatting with Nezuko.
Seeing Mrs. Kie looking over, Luo Men smiled and said, "Thank you for having me, Mrs. Kie. I finished my business and happened to be passing by here, so I thought I'd come and see you all."
"It's alright. I'll go tidy up the bedding."
After speaking, Mrs. Kie went to tidy the room.
Seeing Mrs. Kie's actions, Luo Men originally wanted to stop her, because if Muzan returned, there would certainly be no time for proper rest. But after thinking about it, Luo Men couldn't explain this matter, so he didn't stop her.
Nezuko looked at Luo Men, her eyes filled with curiosity as she asked, "Big Brother Luo Men, where have you been this past year?"
Hearing Nezuko's question, Luo Men pondered for a moment and said, "I joined an organization. For the first half of the year, I went to Mount Momoyama to learn swordsmanship. For the latter half of the year, while traveling around, I was also completing organizational missions. Recently, the missions were mostly done, so I had time to come back."
"What's the outside world like?" Hearing Luo Men's words, Nezuko was also a bit curious, with a hint of longing in her eyes.
And it wasn't just Nezuko; even Tanjirou and his younger siblings were looking at Luo Men with curiosity.
For those who had never left their hometown, the outside world was full of the unknown and mystery. In occasional fantasies, the outside world must be incredibly exciting. And precisely because of this, children are actually very curious about the outside world.
"Hmm, how should I put it?"
Looking at everyone's gaze, Luo Men organized his thoughts before slowly beginning to describe a bit of the outside world to them.
There were bustling, prosperous big cities, lit up all night long.
And there were also incredibly remote, desolate, and dangerous small villages with treacherous people.
He didn't mix in too much personal emotion, simply stating the facts as they were.
"Then, what about those demons?"
Seeing that Luo Men hadn't mentioned anything about demons, Tanjirou still asked curiously.
Ever since he heard Grandpa Sanlang talk about it, he had been thinking about it.
"Demons?"
Both Nezuko and the other younger siblings had expressions of confusion on their faces.
"It's like this..."
Seeing his younger siblings' confused expressions, Tanjirou began to explain, starting from Grandpa Sanlang talking about demons to the information about Luo Men becoming a Demon Slayer.
After hearing Tanjirou's words, the younger siblings all felt as if they were listening to a storybook, with a sense of unreality.
However, after listening, everyone looked at Luo Men with sparkling eyes, full of curiosity.
Seeing this, Luo Men chose a few personal experiences and began to tell them.
And everyone looking at Luo Men didn't really see him as a strong person who could fight evil demons.
In response, Luo Men didn't argue about how powerful he was, or directly demonstrate his strength. If nothing unexpected happened, he would encounter a demon tonight.
The only uncertainty was whether the demon he encountered was Muzan or not.
Because other demons could indeed separate the Muzan's blood they possessed, just like Lower Moons Five, Rui.
For most demons, being able to separate demon blood was something they would almost never do, as it would dilute their own power, which was a thankless task.
Therefore, the one most likely to appear here today and turn Nezuko into a demon was probably Muzan.
"Alright, all of you, hurry up and go to sleep."
Just then, Mrs. Kie came out and stopped everyone's commotion, arranging for them to go to sleep, and then said to Luo Men, "The bedding is ready. You should also rest early, Luo Men."
"Alright, thank you, Mrs. Kie."
Seeing them, their interest piqued by the stories of evil demons but forced to go to rest, looking unsatisfied, Luo Men smiled and said, "I should have time for the next few days. You can ask me anything you want to know."
Hearing Luo Men's words, everyone's expressions softened a bit, and then they went to sleep.
Luo Men also simply washed up before lying down in his futon.
Knowing that there might be a big battle tonight, Luo Men maintained his vigilance and entered a shallow sleep, able to sense danger and wake up at any time.
After a short nap, Luo Men suddenly woke up from his slumber because his incredibly keen mental perception allowed him to clearly feel a powerful and incredibly evil aura approaching the Kamado Family's house.
"Has he come?"
Such a massive evil aura was something Luo Men had never encountered in his life. Just such a terrifying aura alone meant it couldn't be an ordinary demon; it had to be Muzan, the Demon King.
Because before going to sleep, Luo Men had considered the possibility of danger and had not taken off his clothes before sleeping.
Standing up and walking out, Luo Men prepared to confront Muzan, the Demon King.
As he stepped out the door, Muzan hadn't arrived yet, but Luo Men was certain that as soon as he stepped out of the house, Muzan would have already noticed him.
