Doubt they would welcome him? Huh? Rui tilted his head in response to that, though honestly wasn’t interested enough in prying further. He would have thought slayers were… better together, weren’t they? Didn’t the lot of them usually stick together?
This fear, the fact he was Kokushibou’s brother, the fact he ‘wouldn’t be welcomed’… what was with this man?
“I did die.” No point in keeping that a secret. “I shouldn’t be alive here regardless. I died, I remember it, and he isn’t here. It has to be something about this city – I can’t explain it.”
He was thankful, though, but still … scared. The stronger he got, the more likely it felt that the same could happen to Muzan if he were ever to return, or the more likely that Rui would simply… stop existing.
“I don’t know how long it might last, but – we all seem to be able to live without him just fine, but we’ve all also been killed. Take that as you will, I suppose.”
… spoken out loud like that, it felt like he was lying, didn’t it? And yet, the fear seemed to subside slightly, just saying ‘he isn’t here’ out loud again. How strange.
Although what was in front of him was undoubtly a demon, his reactions to this whole thing eased his mind a little bit. The fact that were all indeed free from Muzan remained rather curious for him. Perhaps the fact that they were supposed to have already died played a part on it? Again, it didn’t seem like he was the only one brought back to life or something like that.
This definitely wasn’t some kind of afterlife then. There should be a lot more demons, a lot more slayers and they were supposed to go to different places after their eventual death. His head could dwelve into the nature of this place but the more it did, the more it seemed like way out of his reach. If someone had the power to bring in deceased people like it was nothing, could he truly do something in this context? The answer was surely no.
Yoriichi squatted before the other party, mainly wanting to speak eye to eye with him. ❝ Will you help me find him if he comes back? ❞ His look was serene as he inquired, devoid of any kind of emotion as if he were asking the most casual question of the book.
Fear of their dependence on the Demon Lord was one of the main factors that made the rest of the race so obedient to him. Some had convictions towards him but most of them were just treacherous otherwise. The child in front didn’t seem to be treacherous, he just seemed scared in general. A reaction to be expected if he shared memories with him but he looked frightened in a deeper level.
