Looking at Mitsuri Kanroji, who was in such good spirits, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Please help me change, Hoshino-sama~"
Mitsuri Kanroji said shyly.
——————
The next morning, Hoshino Sora opened his eyes feeling quite refreshed. What met his gaze was Mitsuri Kanroji's charming, innocent smile. This girl also knew when to wake up.
"Hoshino-sama, good morning~ I wonder if this humble girl satisfied you last night?"
Seeing Hoshino Sora awaken, Mitsuri Kanroji said with a giggle. However, upon closer inspection, one could notice that the shyness in her eyes was very obvious, indicating that she wasn't as relaxed as she appeared.
"You're asking the obvious. How long are you planning to stay here this time? Speaking of which, how strong is Upper Rank Three? Was it difficult for you to kill him with your current strength?"
He raised a hand and flicked Mitsuri Kanroji's nose. Hoshino Sora couldn't help but recall last night, when she unknowingly activated her Markings due to her accelerated heartbeat and surging blood.
Affected by the Markings, Mitsuri Kanroji's body temperature remained at thirty-nine degrees, and because she possessed Gourmet Cells, her body's recovery ability was extremely strong, allowing her to activate her Markings with almost no side effects.
A body temperature of thirty-nine degrees...
Hoshino Sora's face suddenly flushed, and the wonderful experience of last night flashed through his mind. But he quickly shook his head; what was more important now was to understand Mitsuri Kanroji's power level in the Demon Slayer world!
"In normal circumstances, Kochou Shinobu could already suppress Upper Rank Three. Aside from his fast regeneration, he was completely helpless when fighting Kochou Shinobu.
However, because Kochou Shinobu hadn't had time to replace her sword, I was the one who finally cut off his head.
But do you know, Upper Rank Three, whose head was cut off, didn't die. Instead, he became stronger, and as soon as his head regenerated, he frantically ran away, bursting with astonishing speed. For a short time, I actually couldn't catch up to him!"
As she spoke, a hint of solemnity appeared in Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes. Upper Ranks were indeed all very difficult to kill, but she wasn't to be trifled with either. Seeing him try to escape, she desperately chased after him.
"Because my speed was getting faster and faster, my heartbeat also went up, and my body temperature surged. Then, these Markings appeared on my body.
It was an incredibly profound state. In that state, my strength sharply increased, and I easily cut off Akaza's head again."
Pointing to the heart-shaped Markings on her neck, Mitsuri Kanroji said with a smile. To catch up to Akaza, she unleashed her full power, instantly killing him with an unparalleled strike.
"That's amazing! It makes my blood boil just listening to it. It's a pity I wasn't there at the time, otherwise, I could have cheered you on from the sidelines."
Hearing Mitsuri Kanroji's account, Hoshino Sora also felt a surge of excitement. When he watched the anime, he always thought Akaza was incredibly strong, but now it seemed he was rather ordinary.
Butterfly Ninja could suppress him even before awakening her Markings, and Mitsuri Kanroji even cut off his head with one strike. Although he regenerated quickly and ran at an extreme speed.
But, that only proves his escape ability is strong.
And in the end, he still didn't escape.
And Akaza, in the Demon Slayer world, is undoubtedly at the peak of combat power, with only a handful of individuals definitively stronger than him.
The fact that Butterfly Ninja and Mitsuri Kanroji can overwhelm him in combat indicates that with their Markings activated, they have reached the highest level below Muzan Kibutsuji.
Of course, they might even have surpassed Muzan Kibutsuji.
"I'm staying here for a week this time. This is the holiday my Master gave me. Kochou Shinobu also has one, but hers is next week. Currently, the two of us are the mainstays of the team, so we can't take leave at the same time."
"I see, no wonder you came alone this time. Well, then, spend this week living well at the restaurant and getting to know everyone. There are many people in the harem you probably aren't familiar with yet, right?"
Hearing Mitsuri Kanroji's words, Hoshino Sora suddenly understood. As they chatted, he reached out and ruffled her hair. Once Muzan Kibutsuji was eliminated, she would also enter his Manor life.
"Yes! I will get along well with my sisters."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Kanroji Mitsuri nodded heavily. Her purpose in coming today also included this: to get along well with Hoshino-kun's other wives and become a good wife who makes her husband worry-free.
"That's good. Here, this is for you. The usage is…"
Handing the Gourmet Manor token to Kanroji Mitsuri, Hoshino Sora patiently taught her how to use it, touching her while teaching. Eventually, a 'war' broke out between them.
