Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

After having in-depth conversations together, they would also inquire about the past of their comrades.

Knowing that Aoi and Tamayo were both widows, they were brought back by Natsuhiko.

Although Xia Yan's thoughts were simple, they were already widows, so how could he bear to see them living a life of widowhood?

However, in Shinobu's eyes, it was clear that she had a preference for widows.

In reality, she was being far too one-sided. Xia Yan didn't have a preference for widows; he was simply a pervert. After all, he hadn't even spared a little girl like Ling Yuzi.

If it weren't for the fact that Upper Moon Six, Daki, and her brother were of one mind, making Natsuhiko feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

He's now locked in the basement by Xia Yan.

"Hmm! It really does give off a very immoral feeling!"

"Haha, your frankness is truly magnificent."

"Huh!? What's so glamorous about this scumbag's declaration!?"

"I agree more with the Shinazugawa explanation."

"Um... please stop arguing, everyone..."

"Ha! Let's fight! I want to see rivers of blood!"

"Namo Amitabha……"

Seeing the Pillars, who were once aloof and dignified in the eyes of the Demon Slayer Corps members, now noisy and chaotic, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled with relief.

Kibutsuji Muzan, a disgrace to our clan!

This tragic fate will surely end in our generation!

……

The meeting between the two sides ended quickly.

After all, a Pillar Meeting had already been held in the summer, and the main purpose of this early meeting was simply to introduce Kanroji Mitsuri, the new "Love Pillar".

After teasing the somewhat lovestruck girl and leaving a deep impression on her, Natsuhiko returned to the Butterfly Mansion with Shinobu Kocho.

Then I encountered a seemingly troublesome person right at my doorstep...

"My name is Shinazugawa Genya! Please take me as your disciple! I have a reason why I must become a Pillar. I'll do anything to become stronger! Please!!!"

Looking at the boy kneeling in front of him in a dogeza posture, Xia Yan tilted his head in confusion.

He had a rather strange-looking black rooster-like hairstyle, with the hair on both sides shaved clean, and a scar on his right cheek that extended to his nose.

His eyebrows and eyes bear a 70% resemblance to those of Sanemi Shinazugawa.

Xia Yan recognized the other party at a glance. He was the unfortunate younger brother of Shinazugawa Sanemi, the Wind Pillar, and the only Demon Slayer Corps swordsman who died in the same batch as Tanjiro in the original work.

Genya Shinazugawa.

After all, their physical characteristics are simply too obvious.

What puzzled Xia Yan was why the other party had found him.

However, I didn't really care that much, even though Genya played a significant, even crucial, role in both the battle against Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, and the battle against Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, in the original work.

However, he has already ruined the plot, and according to his plan, Xuanmi's existence doesn't seem to be of any help to him.

"I reject."

"……Why?"

"Ah, taking on apprentices is too much trouble. I have no intention of taking on any stepsons at all."

"Then why was that red-haired guy allowed to become your stepson?"

Genya Shinazugawa pointed at Tanjiro beside him, his face full of resentment.

"Eh? Me?"

Tanjiro, who had just stepped outside, pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered.

He smelled the scent at home and knew that Xia Yan was coming back, so he was preparing to greet him. But as soon as he went out, he ran into a boy with a rooster-like hairstyle who asked him why he could become Xia Yan's stepson.

What a strange question. Is this something I, as a son, can decide?

You should ask my mom.

"Young Genya, is it possible that Tanjiro is actually my adopted son, rather than my apprentice?"

Boom——

Xia Yan's words struck Shinazugawa Genya's heart like a thunderbolt.

He looked at Tanjiro with a shocked expression.

I never imagined they would sacrifice so much! To become a Pillar's disciple, they even gave up their own mother!?

How despicable!

He really can't do that!

"Yes! Mr. Xia Yan is my stepfather. Do you need any help?"

Unaware of what Genya Shinazugawa was thinking, Tanjiro wore a friendly smile; he was, after all, a very kind and helpful person.

When she has free time, she also volunteers at Butterfly House.

However, if he knew what Shinazugawa Genya was thinking, he would probably give him a good beating.

"No, there aren't any left..."

Shinazugawa Genya said somewhat absentmindedly.

The conditions for becoming Xia Yan's stepson were far too harsh, leaving him with no hope whatsoever.

After all, his mother had been gone for several years.

"By the way, young Xuanmi, who sent you to become my disciple?"

Although he didn't intend to take on any apprentices, Xia Yan was still very curious about how he found this place.

After all, the Butterfly Mansion is a medical facility for the Demon Slayer Corps, so its level of secrecy is quite high. Ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who want to come here have to be picked up and dropped off by members of the "Kakuna". Natsuhiko's house is right next to the Butterfly Mansion, so its level of secrecy is the same.

Genya Shinazugawa was wearing ordinary clothes, not the Demon Slayer Corps uniform.

Therefore, it is even less likely that they would know this location.

"It was Mr. Beimingyu who arranged for someone to bring me here."

Sorrow 3.5 Naruyuki Gyoumei? He should know I don't accept disciples, right? Why did he send Shinazugawa Genya here to me?

Xia Yan's mind flashed to a giant monk who was over two meters tall and looked like a brown bear that had come to life.

"What were his exact words?"

"Mr. Beimingyu said that only here is the most suitable method for me to become stronger!"

Seeing that things seemed to have taken another turn for the better, Shinazugawa Genya said excitedly.

"Is there a method here that's suitable for you to become stronger...?"

After hearing Shinazugawa Genya's words, Natsuhiko looked him up and down.

With the ability to see through the world and the ability to perceive the world, he could tell at a glance that the other party had no aptitude for cultivating breathing techniques.

In the original work, Shinazugawa Genya did not use breathing techniques to fight, but relied on his special physique and a specially designed shotgun to kill demons.

"I see. No wonder that guy, Himejima Gyomei, sent you to find me."

After figuring out the problem, Xia Yan muttered to himself.

Genya Shinazugawa possesses a peculiar constitution—

—The Devourer of Demons.

Possessing excellent bite force and digestive organs, it has a special constitution that allows it to devour demons and temporarily transform into one. The stronger the demon it devours, the greater the regenerative ability and power it gains from the demon.

After becoming a demon to a certain extent, one not only possesses the physical constitution of a demon, but can even use the blood demon techniques of the demons one has previously devoured.

It was only after learning about this peculiar constitution that Himejima Gyomei sent Shinazugawa Genya to find him.

To be more precise, they didn't come looking for me, but for the three ghosts in my house.

After all, when it comes to how to kill demons, Himejima Gyomei might be an expert, but when it comes to how to use the power of demons to fight, they are clearly the professionals.

"I understand. Tanjiro, take him to the Butterfly Mansion and find him a room to stay in."

Xia Yan said thoughtfully.

He kept Genya Shinazugawa behind, not because he really wanted to help him become stronger.

The main purpose was to use him as research material.

It can devour demons and temporarily gain their power, and it is also immune to the damage from sunlight. Obviously, this kind of physique is worth studying.

It might help me develop the medicine I need more quickly.

Of course, they wouldn't ask Genya Shiro for help.

In return, I will find ways to help him become stronger, and not just in terms of physical abilities.

After all, when it comes to the use of firearms, Xia Yan can be said to be at the pinnacle of this world!

Since we can't use breathing techniques, our weapons don't have to be restricted so strictly, right?

"Listen up, Shinazugawa Genya, I can help you become stronger, but just do what I tell you to do and don't ask any questions, understand?"

"Yes! I understand! Thank you very much, Lord Narukami Tsuki!"

Unaware that he had been used as experimental material, Genya Shinazugawa said with tears of gratitude.

"That's great, Genya!"

Tanjiro smiled and encouraged him. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was genuinely happy for Shinazugawa Genya, who seemed to have achieved his wish.

Two boys of similar age walked together toward the Butterfly House.

Xia Yan returned to his home.
