Following the voice, Xia Feng saw a yellow-haired kid enthusiastically waving at him.
"Zenitsu, huh."
Under Xia Feng's gaze, Zenitsu Agatsuma ran over at full speed.
He wore a golden-yellow haori that matched the color of his hair.
A Nichirin blade hung at his waist.
"Mr. Xia Feng! Why are you here too?" Zenitsu asked happily, though with a hint of confusion.
Just as Xia Feng was about to answer, another voice sounded from afar.
"Mr. Xia Feng?!"
Xia Feng and Zenitsu turned to look.
Not far away, Tanjiro was staring at them in delight.
He wore a light blue outfit patterned with waves.
On his head was a fox mask, making him look a bit like an ANBU from Konoha.
Like a puppy spotting a familiar person, Tanjiro happily ran over.
Xia Feng felt like he could almost see a small wagging tail behind Tanjiro.
He sighed inwardly.
As expected of Nezuko's brother… even though he's a boy, he's somehow a little cute.
Had he awakened some strange tendency?
A chill ran down Xia Feng's spine.
While he was lost in thought, Tanjiro had already arrived and asked the same question Zenitsu had.
Because of their commotion, many people around them turned to look.
"Who are those two…? They can actually talk to that lord?"
"Judging by their clothes, one seems to be a Thunder Breathing student, and the other a Water Breathing student…"
"Water Breathing?! I heard there's only one student this year—is that him?"
For a moment, Tanjiro and Zenitsu became the focus of all the candidates.
Feeling the surrounding stares, Zenitsu nervously shrank his head.
"Somehow we suddenly became the center of attention… what do we do?"
Xia Feng found it amusing.
"The Final Selection is about surviving in the mountain, not beating other candidates. What does it matter if people look at you?"
Zenitsu paused.
"That's… true?"
Tanjiro looked surprised.
He examined Zenitsu from head to toe.
He hadn't expected someone this timid among the Demon Slayer candidates.
He had imagined everyone here to be fiercely trained and terrifying.
Coming back to his senses, he looked at Xia Feng again.
"By the way, Mr. Xia Feng, why are you here?"
"I'm an examiner," Xia Feng answered briefly.
He chuckled.
"Whether you pass the Final Selection or not depends entirely on me, understand?"
He said it jokingly, expecting them to complain—something like How can an examiner openly ask for bribes?
Instead, the two of them instantly stood at attention.
"Yes! We'll give it our all!"
Xia Feng bared his teeth slightly.
He suddenly felt like he had nothing in common with these two idiots.
Just then, a voice sounded behind him.
"That won't do! How can an examiner openly hint that candidates should bribe him?!"
Xia Feng froze for a moment and turned around.
As soon as he turned, a surprised look appeared on his face.
So big!
Wait, no—
So white!
Cough, cough!
Xia Feng hurriedly recited the periodic table in his head and forced his gaze upward.
Past the collar, he saw a puffed-up face.
A cute girl with green eyes and long pink curly hair.
Just looking at her made people feel a sweet warmth.
Xia Feng immediately recognized her.
Kana Hanazawa!
No—Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji!
He asked curiously,
"Love Hashira? Why are you here at Mount Fujikasane?"
Mitsuri hummed and tilted her head.
"Lord Kagaya said other places already have enough manpower, so he asked me to come help the Special Advisor here."
While speaking, she also looked at Xia Feng.
Messy black hair, a relaxed expression, and that black trench coat…
So handsome!
He looked like the melancholic handsome hero from a romance story!
A blush appeared on Mitsuri's face.
Then she suddenly remembered what had happened earlier.
"Oh right! As an examiner, how can you hint that candidates should bribe you?"
Xia Feng almost laughed.
This girl was a bit silly—but also pretty fun.
Before he could speak, Tanjiro hurriedly explained.
"No, no! Mr. Xia Feng was encouraging us!"
Zenitsu nodded seriously.
"Mr. Xia Feng would never threaten us!"
Hearing that, Mitsuri blinked.
Then she looked at Xia Feng with teary eyes.
Under his gaze, she suddenly bowed deeply.
"Waaaah! I'm so sorry! I spoke out of turn!"
Xia Feng stood there, staring intently.
More precisely—
He was staring at a certain area.
Because Mitsuri had bent over, the view from his angle was… very comprehensive.
Kanao, standing nearby, looked at Mitsuri with a complicated expression.
I've lost…
Completely impossible to win…
After creating such an awkward misunderstanding the moment she arrived, Mitsuri's face turned bright red. It took her a while to calm down.
"Hello, Mr. Xia Feng. I'm Mitsuri Kanroji, currently the Love Hashira, user of Love Breathing~"
She introduced herself in a soft voice.
Xia Feng nodded.
"I'm Xia Feng, Special Advisor of the Demon Slayer Corps and currently the examiner for the Final Selection at Mount Fujikasane."
Hearing that, Mitsuri blushed again.
Special Advisor…
That title sounded so cool!
Seeing her reaction, Xia Feng's eyelid twitched slightly.
Another type of person he wasn't very good at dealing with…
There were really a lot of strange people in this world.
But…
His gaze drifted downward slightly before he nodded.
As long as it's pleasing to the eyes, that's good enough. Why worry so much?
When I found out one of the black-and-white lolis was actually a boy, I was mentally destroyed.
This is straight-up fraud.
