"Mr. Li, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, Miss Kanae. I'm just daydreaming."

The summer sun was scorching, so after lunch, Li Mo sat under the eaves in front of the guest room, shading himself from the heat, and stared blankly at the courtyard.

With nothing to do, he could only daydream, right?

He hadn't experienced daydreaming alone before.

Kanae Kocho also sat on the doorstep and said, "Thank you so much for this morning, Mr. Li."

"No need to thank me. It was nothing. The mountain is safe during the day… there shouldn't be any danger."

Demons were nocturnal creatures. Exposure to sunlight during the day was practically a death sentence for them. Sleeping during the day was what demons should be doing. While the shadows on the mountain could provide them with some room to move, the risk was still too high.

—You couldn't expect every demon to be as foolish as the first one Li Mo encountered, which pounced on him the moment it saw him and ended up being sent to bask in the sun.

"Is that so? Still, thank you for accompanying my father, Mr. Li. You're Chinese, right?"

"Yes."

"Are you a student?"

Li Mo didn't answer.

Sometimes, silence was an answer. Kanae gazed into the distance and said, "Mr. Li, what's it like to study? My father often talks about his school days, saying they were the happiest time of his life."

"Does he talk about his school life?"

"Yes! When he has time, he even teaches Shinobu and me. He teaches us various subjects, but what left the deepest impression on me was physics. There's something called the lever principle—using a long and sturdy stick with the right fulcrum, you can lift something very heavy. How does that saying go? 'Give me a fulcrum, and I can lift the continent?'"

"That's a quote from the Greek mathematician Archimedes: 'Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.'"

Kanae clapped her hands and said, "Yes, that's it!"

"Miss Kanae, did you come to talk to me about Shinobu?"

"Yes, Shinobu's personality is like that. Please be patient with her. I'm counting on you!"

Kanae clasped her hands together, closing one eye as she made an adorable request.

So it was about Shinobu, after all? Did I seem that intimidating to her?

Li Mo said, "I won't hold a grudge against a child. Besides, I think an angry Shinobu is quite cute."

Kanae wholeheartedly agreed with Li Mo's assessment of Shinobu and gave him a thumbs-up.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to family matters. Mostly, Li Mo asked questions, and Kanae answered.

"By the way, your mother's health seems a bit frail. I noticed that you and Shinobu are the ones cooking most of the time."

"Yes, my mother's health isn't good. It seems to be a lingering issue from her time in Tokyo, and it worsened after giving birth to me and Shinobu."

During lunch, Li Mo had seen Kanae and Shinobu's mother. The woman who had given birth to such beautiful daughters was indeed stunning, but her pale complexion made it clear that she wasn't in good health.

"Miss Kanae, what exactly is going on with the disappearances? I mean the specifics."

"Specifically… people go up the mountain during the day, and then some disappear in the shadows…"

Li Mo asked Kanae about the disappearances, and without questioning his motives, she explained in a gentle voice. The recent disappearances had all occurred on the mountain during the day. And in each case, the people had vanished suddenly, which was terrifying.

"I understand, Miss Kanae. If I'm still asleep by dusk, please wake me up," Li Mo said.

"Understood, Mr. Li."

The conversation between Li Mo and Kanae came to a temporary end. But as the girl left, another "tomboy" sneaked out from around the corner and approached Li Mo.

Shinobu stood in front of him and said, "Are you trying to get close to my sister? Let me tell you, that's impossible! You're not worthy of her! You're way too old!"

Li Mo said, "I'm well aware of that. I'm not worthy of someone like Miss Kanae."

"That's more like it. It seems you're not completely useless after all!" Shinobu nodded, looking satisfied.

Li Mo smirked mischievously and said, "But if it's you, Shinobu, that's a different story. A rude girl like you would only be suited for an old, unmarried man like me."

"Pervert." Shinobu kicked Li Mo and then fled amidst his laughter.

She ran away in embarrassment.

After seeing Shinobu off, Li Mo returned to the guest room to sleep.

But before falling asleep, he did some thinking.

According to Dr. Butterfly, those two people were likely members of the Demon Slayer Corps. He wondered what rank they held. Were there still demons around? He decided to stay vigilant during the night.

With these thoughts, Li Mo fell asleep.

...

...

Sometimes, people wake up suddenly from their sleep. It could be due to thunder outside, or it could happen for no reason at all.

When Li Mo woke up, the light streaming into the room was no longer sunlight but moonlight.

It's nighttime already? I'm still in the guest room. Good, nothing's missing. Wait, why didn't anyone wake me up? Did something happen?

The first thing he did was check his belongings. Finding that nothing was missing, including the axe by his bed, Li Mo finally calmed down.

After spending so many days on his own, Li Mo's first reaction upon waking up was always to check if his things were still there. He could easily trust the Kamado family because he knew their character.

But with others, he couldn't be sure. People committing crimes for money wasn't uncommon. It was better to be cautious.

Li Mo didn't want to become a victim.

"Enough overthinking. I'll just go ask Miss Kanae and Shinobu."

Let me reiterate, Shinobu is only nine years old now. She's still in elementary school. Seeing his "waifu" from his past life as a little kid, Li Mo didn't know what to say.

—Whatever, just treat her like a child.

"Maybe Kanae thought I was resting well and didn't want to wake me. I should've told Shinobu. She would've definitely woken me up."

Thinking back to how he had teased Shinobu before sleeping, the little girl was probably still fuming.

And then… he stepped outside.

In that instant, Li Mo's expression fell. The courtyard was eerily quiet, with moonlight casting a silvery glow on the ground. A gentle breeze carried the scent of blood to his nose.

The smell of blood.

As a part-time hunter, Li Mo was no stranger to the smell of blood. Last night at the rundown temple, he had smelled the thick scent of blood. It was the scene of a demon feeding.

That scene was something he didn't want to recall. Watching someone being eaten alive was utterly disgusting, followed by rage. That's why he had chased the demon all night, not stopping until it was bathed in sunlight.

Returning to his room, Li Mo grabbed his axe and silently followed the scent of blood.

A terrible suspicion arose in his heart.

Could something really have happened?.
