Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 193 Different People (Part 1)

Rinko is very different.

For Xiong Yue, it was especially important since he had already faced too many ghosts and there were two other powerful ghosts in front of him as a comparison.

Lin Guang's is different, so it is extremely conspicuous.

It is too conspicuous, just like a rabbit raising its head in a snake's nest, a kitten stretching in a wolf's den, or a puppy wagging its tail among a lion group.

It seems out of tune with everything around it.

And him especially.

----

Rinko is a completely different person from him.

Personality, identity, strength, habits, they have almost nothing in common. Oh, not really, now they do have one thing in common, they are all ghosts.

But other than that, they have no similarities.

Under such circumstances, Gyoyue could clearly see that Rinko liked him, very much, even more than she liked Kokushibo.

But it is understandable. After all, Kokushibo is a "teacher" and he is a "friend". Not to mention the more childish Rinko, even he himself finds it difficult to feel "liking" for Kokushibo. He feels more fear and admiration, and maybe some envy and jealousy, but that doesn't matter. They try to avoid communication anyway. Kokushibo ignores him most of the time. Only Rinko sticks to him all the time. He will be noticed only when the other party looks for Rinko.

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, let's go play—"

Such sounds always echo in my ears.

Xiao Yue couldn't understand. Aren't ghosts supposed to live alone? Aren't they more independent? Don't they dislike socializing? Why was this little guy so clingy? It was like he couldn't even breathe without someone else around.

Rinko is actually very busy every day, but he is not busy with any serious work. When Kokushibo is free, he will train him, and Gion will sit on the side and watch the fun. Rinko will not let him leave, and Kokushibo will not allow him to leave because of Rinko's opinion, so he is just forced to stay here and can't do anything.

This completely goes against his original intention. He became a ghost in order to survive, and survived in order to become stronger, but now, he is just alive.

After the training, Rin Guang will become a big trouble for him. Xingyue feels like he is a nanny, forced to look after a child with unlimited energy. Rin Guang will teach him how to play chess, and then play chess with him. He will also teach him to play the pipa. He doesn't want to learn, so Rin Guang will play it for him. Rin Guang can do many things, a lot.

But nothing serious.

He would do a lot of random things and knew a lot of useless stories or things, and he liked to tell them. Every time, Xiong Yue would cross his legs and bend his waist, suppressing his irritability and listening with all his patience. Occasionally, Lin Guang's attention would be divided with him, and at that time he felt like he had become an encyclopedia again.

Lin Guang had countless questions to ask him, what is the sun, what is the day like, what does the sun feel like on your body, what does candy taste like, what does fried shrimp taste like, is tea delicious, are pastries sweet, and does spicy food warm you up.

These are all topics that have nothing to do with ghosts or becoming stronger.

Kokushibo would occasionally listen in on such meaningless questions and answers, but most of the time the other party had his own things to do. Gyotaku occasionally felt that even if he followed Kokushibo to become a target for the other party's training, it would be better than sitting here with the child, but every time, he just sat there, did not walk away, nor did he cover Rinkou's mouth, he did not even say that he was impatient.

Perhaps it was because Kokushibo had hinted countless times that Rinko had a high status and they needed to abide by such invisible rules.

Yao Yue thought so in his heart.

"Give."

A hand was brought to his eyes. The small hand held an exquisite wood carving. Yao Yue could recognize it as himself at a glance. The carving technique was very delicate, and the lifelike little piece of wood could almost be called a work of art.

"what is this?"

Of course, Xiong Yue recognized that this was a wood carving, but he didn't understand why Ling Guang did this, why he carved him, and why he sent this thing to him.

"It's a gift. Xiaoyue has been with me the whole time, hasn't he?"

This is another problem of Yaoyue.

Why was this guy always so clingy? Why was he so close to him? Why was he always so curious and fond of him?

Why do you keep making small things for him?

"I'm not here on purpose to accompany you." Why did you give it to me?

What he thought in his heart and what he said out loud always seemed to be in complete agreement. Yao Yue looked at the wooden sculpture, raised his upper body slightly, did not reach out to catch it, nor did he push the hand away, but just used the posture of sitting up straight to create a little distance between himself and the hand.

"Because Xiaoyue is a friend, because I like Xiaoyue, and because Xiaoyue has always been with me."

Lin Guang's answer followed quickly, almost without hesitation. Was this a long-planned psychological strategy or was the boy's heart and mind really simple?

The answer is unknown. Yao Yue put his hands behind his back and leaned back. His posture became more casual and unrestrained, and the distance between them became farther.

"I told you, I'm not accompanying you on purpose. I just have to."

The lazy tone revealed a hint of impatience.

This was allowed by Kokushibo. The inner thoughts of demons were actually very easy to understand, much simpler than those of humans. Gyoyue thought, for example, Kokushibo didn't care that he didn't like Rinko, and allowed him to express his annoyance and impatience with some of Rinko's actions, as long as Rinko wanted him to be here and he was indeed here, it was fine.

Only looking at the results, not the process, this is what a ghost should be like.

"so what."

But Lingguang never seemed to think so.

The boy didn't care whether he really liked doing these things, nor did he care whether he had never liked him, and he didn't care whether every word he said contained malice.

Lin Guang was really strange.

"That doesn't affect you being with me all the time. I'm very happy, so I want to thank you."

It's almost unreasonably strange.

"I want you to be happy too."

The hand holding the wooden sculpture was brought in front of him, almost touching his face.

Yao Yue raised his head and reflected in his eyes were the boy's eyes reflecting the light.

Those shining eyes were filled with his frowning and pretending to be indifferent face.

-

What on earth is there about him that is worthy of Lin Guang's attention?

Yao Yue thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer.

In terms of strength, the opponent is an Upper Rank, and in terms of demon blood, Kokushibo said that Rinko probably has the most blood, otherwise he would not be classified as Upper Rank Zero and protected by all the Upper Ranks.

Putting that aside, Lin Guang himself didn't seem to be interested in his own strength. He was more interested in human things, like the questions the boy kept asking him.

There is a small pot tied on Lin Guang's wrist. According to him, it was a gift from Yu Hu, which is also a winding pot. The pot can hold a lot of things and it did hold a lot of things, but now it seems that there are not many things left.

When Xiong Yue asked why, Ling Guang just sat there quietly for a long time, and finally just shook his head and said he didn't remember.

Gyoyue didn't know whether Rinkou cleaned up those things because he didn't remember, or because he cleaned up those things because he didn't remember.

But that's not the point either.

The key point is that the other party has a pot in his hand that can store a lot of things, and some messy things will indeed be taken out of that pot.

Lin Guang himself lacks nothing.

So why would she pester him? There was nothing about him that was worth Rinko getting close to or that required some effort to obtain. If the other party wanted to, given Rinko's status as a demon, even if Rinko took off his head, Kokushibo wouldn't even look at it.

If you must say, Rinkou was only slightly interested in his Nichirin Sword, but after he really became a demon, Rinkou never mentioned it again, as if he had forgotten it.

So what is the reason?

"Why do you keep pestering me?"

Unable to figure it out, Xian Yue just went and asked.

"Because you're a friend."

And that's what Lin Guang answered.

An answer that is better left unsaid, but Yu Yue still doesn’t understand.

But he just assumed he understood.

Because we are friends, I have always been nice to him. Let’s just take it as it is and life must go on.
