Ghost Slayer: My Wife Kanao

For Kanao, she herself had no name.

From birth, she had no name.

Regarding the name 'Kanao Tsuyuri,' it was the first time her fiancé called her by that name.

I remember the first time my fiancé called 'Kanao Tsuyuri,' she didn't know it was her.

But slowly, with her fiancé repeating it again and again, she understood.

'Kanao Tsuyuri.'

This name was hers alone.

Whenever her fiancé called 'Kanao Tsuyuri,' or simply 'Kanao,' she knew it was for her.

Gradually, she became accustomed to the name.

She also grew to like the name.

Although she sometimes tried hard to express her wishes to her fiancé, sadly, she couldn't do it.

She seemed trapped in a very dark world, seemingly unable to escape.

But whenever her fiancé called her name,

Called out to her,

Kanao Tsuyuri,

She felt her world becoming warmer, and the darkness dissipated.

She liked being with Sam Miller.

Really liked it.

She hoped she would get better soon.

...

The caravan quickly arrived at their destination.

A small city.

Here, the merchants began to look for places to unload their goods. The trip was over, and Giyu Tomioka didn't have to follow the caravan any longer and could go home.

This time, Giyu received all the wages for the trip from the guard commander, including some previous arrears.

Giyu felt very happy.

Leaving the guard commander, Giyu looked at Sam and Kanao Tsuyuri, who were waiting at the door, and said happily, "I received my full salary today."

As he spoke, Giyu raised the purse in his hand.

With Giyu's movement, the purse made a 'jingle jingle' sound, which was very pleasant.

"Congratulations, but you deserve it."

Sam laughed, thinking the guard commander was quite sensible; otherwise, he might have considered pretending to be a ghost at night to scare him.

Giyu was also very happy. With the money, he could buy nice things for his sister before her wedding.

These years, his sister and he had depended on each other, and life was difficult, but his sister always saved the best things for him.

Even when his sister got married, she didn't have a good dowry.

This was something he couldn't accept, and it was the reason he took the risk to join the merchant team.

"Let's go, come to my house. My sister will be very happy to have guests."

Giyu smiled.

Sam nodded and followed Giyu, holding Kanao Tsuyuri's hand.

Walking through the streets, Giyu bought many things.

Mostly for his sister.

A cosmetic case, face powder, jewelry...

"My sister has never used so many things before. No matter what, I want to buy them for her."

Giyu said softly.

He knew that his sister's husband's family actually looked down on her.

Even his brother-in-law looked down on their family.

However, as long as they treated his sister well in the future, it wouldn't matter.

...

Soon, they neared Giyu's house.

When they arrived, Sam frowned and paused slightly.

"A demon?"

Under the bamboo hat, his golden eyes glanced around, but he found nothing.

That's right, it's daytime now; even if there are demons, they won't appear during the day.

After all, demons can't bask in the sun like him.

"Sister, I'm back."

Giyu happily knocked on the door.

"Squeak."

The door opened with a cheerful sound.

A plainly dressed girl opened the door, without makeup, with the gentleness of a southern belle, with black hair and a pretty face.

She looked like a very gentle and beautiful girl.

Giyu's older sister.

Tsutako Tomioka.

In the future, the day before her wedding, the Tomioka family is attacked by a demon. To protect her younger brother, Tsutako is devoured by demons and dies in front of Giyu.

In the end, it becomes a nightmare that Giyu can never escape.

In the future, Giyu says this to Tanjiro, who begs for mercy for his sister Nezuko, who has turned into a demon, to protect her.

As if telling himself:

"Don't hand over the power of life and death to others, don't beg for mercy in a low voice. If it worked, your family wouldn't have been killed. Even life and death mustn't be handed over to others. A weakling like you still wants to cure your sister? Still want to find an enemy? It's ridiculous."

"The weak have no rights and no choice."

"You can only obediently submit to the power of the strong."

"The demon may know the way to cure your sister, but don't think the demon will respect your will and wishes. This is reality."

Those were not just words to Tanjiro at the time.

Likewise, Giyu said them to himself.

He hated being weak at that time, hated being unable to do anything, hated himself for being powerless to resist.

Of course, those are things that will happen later.

But now, because of his participation, like a butterfly flapping its wings, will such a thing happen...

Sam thought.

Such a scene should never happen.
