So this is...
Light Ferry. ~Nano.
A Troubled Cat and Composure
What the hell do you think you're doing?!
Be quiet ~Nano.
I'm only treating Yuto's wounds. ~Nano.
What?
My water has healing abilities. ~Nano.
Back then, Young Master protected me.
It's all done. ~Nano.
Young Master!
What a relief.
It's perfect. ~Nano.
Good job, Shizuku.
Is what I want to say, but was there a meaning to hugging him naked?
It makes me feel good.
When flesh is touching flesh, these restless feelings stir up from inside me.
Don't make me say such embarrassing things. ~Nano
Wha-
I can't believe you took advantage of this confusion to do something shameless to Master.
You!!
There's no change in the fact that I saved Yuto.
Besides that, I can't believe this happened while you were with him. ~Nano.
As expected of a Demon Slayer of Amakawa descent.
I saw that power from here.
You're amazing, huh?
It hurts, Kaya.
It would've been better if you just died there, though.
Yuto, you're really not wounded right?
I'm fine. Can't you tell that just by looking at me?
Then why does that Cat Princess look so depressed?
Wow, she sure is sharp.
I'm not depressed at all.
I just feel bad after sweating so much.
I'm going to go wash myself.
Himari!
Don't peek!
Y-Yes, of course not.
This is...
Sasa the Ippon-datara. ~Nano.
Let's play. Let's Play
She drops pillars and shoots beams out of her eyes, so we had to do this.
Let's play!
Shizuku...
Am I too naive?
The Air Demon, Ageha, was it?
She only thought about taking my life and had no interest in listening to me.
There are various types of Ayakashi.
I'm the more understanding type. ~Nano.
Yeah, of course.
I really appreciate everything you do for us.
Anyway, since you learned a bit of what it means to be a Demon Slayer,
I'll teach you some things. ~Nano.
According to the writings here,
each of the 12 Demon Slayer families have special powers. ~Nano.
The Amakawa's is a magic imbuement called Light Ferry. ~Nano.
Light... Ferry?
Magic imbuement?
Do you mean like the ancient magic in RPGs?
The effect is humongous and even if you use it on a stick laying around,
you can give it the strength of a legendary holy sword.
That's what it is. ~Nano.
Swordsmanship,
Martial Arts,
or Magic Arts, even though the Amakawa family didn't step into these,
stood at the top of the 12 families with this power-
Shizuku!
What did the books have on about Himari... The Ayakashi serving the Amakawa family?
Now shouldn't be the time to worry about that cat princess, but about yourself!
W-Wait, Rinko.
What?
Something soft is touching my back!
Trying to flaunt your non-existent boobs is pathetic, stop it already. ~Nano.
This isn't something that I should be saying but,
that cat's ancestors were definitely the type that killed humans. ~Nano.
They even devoured humans as well.
That's the cat's true nature.
Getting pleasure from hunting and losing herself in bloodshed.
If she continues fighting, the possibility of her heart being tainted black is high. ~Nano
Were they any records of that?
There are.
In the past, there's a record of the family head killing one of the Ayakashi who lost itself. ~Nano
It can't be.
I can't remember what happened after Young Master got hurt.
It felt as if my heart sank into darkness.
What happened to me back then?
Himari...
Young Master!
S-Sorry!
Um, are you okay?
I'm relieved that the Young Master is okay.
And...
Thanks for saving me.
I should be scolding you for not running away, but...
But me doing that right now would be weird.
N-Not at all.
I'm always being a burden to Himari... I'm sorry.
A burden?
I understood from this incident.
How dangerous it is to fight Ayakashi.
You always fought for me so it seemed pretty normal, that's why I couldn't realize it.
That's why...
What are you saying?
Protecting Master is the obvious role of a bodyguard.
Not being able to protect is my fault.
And besides, I should've predicted there were going to be assassins here.
I was careless.
What was I hesitating about?
But, don't worry!
I will re-vow it here.
Until Master's power fully awakens, I will definitely protect you.
I will cut through anything that stands in your way.
I'm happy to hear that...
But that's not what I want.
Protecting me or things like that.
How should I say it?
I just want you to be the usual Himari.
I don't really want you be stained by fighting.
Stained by.... fighting?
My wish is that you won't become like that.
That's it.
Young Master...
The first Ayakashi you kill as a Demon Slayer might be me, huh?
There's no way that would happen!
What in the world are you talking about?
It's a joke.
Don't surprise me like that.
I don't really understand all this Demon Slayer stuff yet.
I didn't expect you to be that surprised.
You're so serious, Young Master.
I brought your food- Ah!
If the Zashiki Warashi isn't here, getting in is pretty easy.
It's dinner...
Dinner!
I can't believe you didn't set up any barrier.
Yay!
Dinner!
You're idiots, after all.
Tell the boy.
I'm not gonna thank him but I'll be nice and tell you,
that other Demon Slayers are starting to come after you.
What do you want with Yuto?
I still want to kill him.
I'm not gonna forget the shame I got from him saving me from his cat.
Later.
Hey, wait!
But...
If you still don't get what it means to be a Demon Slayer,
I guess our trip was just a waste of time.
That's not true at all.
I think it was nice to come here.
Thanks to that, I got to remember my childhood with Himari, even if it was just a little bit.
That's true.
T-That reminds me, I remembered what happened at that lake.
The lake?
Yeah.
Back then, Himari in her girl form chased me down and... k-kissed me.
What's wrong, Himari?
The first time I showed my human form to you was when I ran into you and Rinko on the way to school.
Then...
Who was... that girl?
There's nothing like somen in the summer.
TL Note: Somen - It's a kind of Japanese noodles made with wheat flour.
In the end, I guess remembering stuff about me was good enough for him.
Come!
This is meaningless. ~Nano.
What?
By trying to put yourself in another life-or-death situation,
you're trying to awaken the Amakawa power. ~Nano.
That's right. There's meaning to that.
When I have no intention of killing Yuto, this kind of attack is useless. ~Nano.
But you're the only I can ask to do something like this, Shizuku.
I'm happy that you're relying on me.
But...
I'm unsatisfied that you're doing this so the cat doesn't become a monster. ~Nano.
If you don't want the cat to fight, then you have to protect yourself.
That's why you want power. ~Nano.
Otherwise, the violence-hating Yuto won't ask for things such as progressing his Demon Slayer training. ~Nano.
You saw right through me.
Although it irritates me, I don't hate that part about you.
So today, I specially called some help.
A helper?
Um, Yuto...
Long time no see, Yuto-san!
Rinko, Liz-san.
We got called out so we came, but by coming here I felt nauseous and got a headache.
What's going on?
To prevent the humans from coming, I put a human repelling barrier around this park.
If I put Yuto as bait, I knew Rinko would be able to get through anything to get here. ~Nano.
Shizuku, you...
Yeah, but you came...
Jeez, Yuto-san.
You haven't been coming to my shop at all lately.
I was lonely.
L-Liz-san, your shop isn't that kind of place...
How cold, calling me "Liz-san".
Please call me Liz.
Wait a sec...
Hey!
Giving one customer some extra service, isn't that against your policy?!
Yes!
But Yuto-san isn't just a regular customer, he's a special existence that I could even call my Master.
M-Master?!
If it's for Yuto-san, I will gladly serve him by doing things like "This" and things like "That".
Don't say things like that in public!
So, what're you planning to do, Shizuku?
What's important for the Light Ferry is a strong mind, rather than a strong body.
The power to imagine things and concentration. ~Nano.
Concentration?
That's right. ~Nano.
It was written that it's most important to be able to have a clear mind in any situation.
Even if it's not dangerous, we just have to put him in a state where he can be distracted, right?
Well, then excuse me.
That's pretty dangerous!
Okay, Yuto-san. Have a clear mind, a clear mind.
Yuto-san, you're so intense.
Please be more gentle there.
Hey, what do you think you're doing!
You can't run away, Yuto-san.
Here you go!
Oh no, you're sinking into my cleavage.
Sh-Shizuku!
Clear mind, clear mind. ~Nano.
Even if you say that...
Hmm, I see...
Rinko?
I finally understand what kind of training this is.
If it's like that, even I can...
Here, try keeping a calm mind.
Yuto-san like girls with large breasts, right?
Even Himari-san has a fantastic bust as well.
What'd you say?!
Not having them at all works as a weapon too.
Having a half-ass bust is the worst.
I'm sorry for having a half-ass bust!
Well, putting them aside, lets continue, Yuto-san.
Eh, wait- Liz-san?!
That's one thing I won't let you do.
I'm going to steal Yuto's lips first. ~Nano.
What the fuck are you doing?!
I came to look for you since you weren't at home.
Young Master, what's the meaning of this?
H-Himari, this is...
This is training so that I can keep a clear mind.
C-Calm down a bit!
~Nano.
"A clear mind".
So you're training by having three bitches around you, huh?
Then, I'll bring that out from your heart and bury it in the depth of your bones!
Now try keeping this "Clear mind" you speak of, Young Master.
Here, here.
I can't keep a clear mind with my allergy acting up!
Here.
W-Wait Himari! Stop nibbling him!
Blood is coming out!
From that day on, Himari didn't turn off her cat-ear mode for a while.
Now that I think about it, since then...
She hasn't talked about Demon Slayers or the Noihara village at all.
Young Master.
Let's go home.
Ah, okay.
I'm still curious about the girl that kissed me back then.
Seafood sounds good for dinner tonight.
Seafood, huh?
When Himari picks it, it's always expensive.
What are you saying?
Fresh and delicious seafood being expensive is obvious.
Isn't that right?
If I can see this smile, I don't really care who kissed me back then.
In the end, I'm still an Ayakashi.
I have no clue what will happen to me when he becomes a Demon Slayer, but...
Right now, being with Himari...
With Young Master...
Himari?
The formless lamp pointing to hell.
The mallet of light dancing in the sky.
What?
Your cat lacks discipline.
An Ayakashi?
No, not an Ayakashi, she is...
I'm a Demon Slayer of the 12 families,
The Jinguuji heiress,
Kuesu.
I'm Jinguuji Kuesu-sama!
Rinko, another big breasted one showed up.
Eh? What's going on? Showing up one after another.
All you Ayakashi lingering around Amakawa Yuto,
I'll get rid of you all!
Kiss x Neko x KISS
