Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru [DISCONTINUED]

43: Your Life As A Telanovela Character

"Ubuyashiki still hasn't decided how to proceed, don't be so eager to give up!" You frown at the demon.

You take this time to unhook your kama from your belt since the hilt was getting pushed into your side uncomfortably.

"(Y/n) is right," Ubuyashiki smiles, "Sekido, what's the longest you've gone without eating a human?"

Sekido frowns, "The longest? 87 years."

"87 years? How many people have you eaten?" Ubuyashiki asks.

"I'm 171 years old, but I've been a demon for 150 years. And in that time, I've only ever eaten 4 people. The taste of humans disgust me, emotionally and literally, so I've only eaten them when my life was in jeopardy to fall into the hands of Kibutsuji Muzan. Other than that, I'm not tempted to eat them." Sekido scratches the back of his head.

"You're a 171 year old demon, and you've managed to stay alive all this time with only devouring 4 humans?" Ubuyashiki hums, "I can tell you're a strong demon, yet your energy is extremely limited. How has Muzan not found you yet?"

Sekido scoffs, "That Michael Jackson rip off could never find me, I'm too smart! Also, Muzan is too predictable and he makes a scene everywhere he goes. It's actually pretty easy to avoid him."

You laugh quietly when Sekido called Muzan by the OG name.

"Say his name again," Ubuyashiki orders.

"Who? Kibutsuji Muzan? It's weird, isn't it? It doesn't even sound like a real name," Sekido insults.

Ubuyashiki hums quietly before turning his head to face the Pillars, "I've come to a decision. (Y/n), Sekido, you two listen closely."

You and Sekido, as well as the Pillars, lean forward to hear his conclusion.

"Muzan possesses the ability to put a curse onto the demons he creates," Ubuyashiki says, "If any demon says his name out loud, the curse activates and destroys them. Unless the demon is free from Muzan, then they are able to say his name however they like."

Ubuyashiki turns his head slightly to face Sekido's direction, "Sekido had said Muzan's name three times already, and I'm sure he's said it other times before, and here is Sekido. Still in one piece."

"I've decided that Sekido and (Y/n) will continue as they are, so that we have more hands to help defeat Muzan, and so that Sekido can keep (Y/n) alive. (Y/n) -and now Sekido as well- will continue to fight as Demon Slayers. And I would like you all to accept it as well."

You feel relief absolutely FUCK your body in ways you never knew were possible. Sekido as well, as he fell back to lay down.

"Even if it's what you desire, Master, I... cannot fully agree to it." Gyomei cries.

You feel your soul shatter.

Fuck, you forgot that there are stubborn people here.

It actually hurt your feelings a bit because you thought Gyomei would at least be on your side since he was the other person who knew who you really were.

"I don't trust either of them, I don't trust them," Iguro frowns, "This demon has killed people, no matter if it was only 4 people."

"Well, I flamboyantly agree with you, Master!' Uzui states, "This demon has devoured people, though it's been 23 years since he has done it! I'm sure he can keep that up if (Y/n) keeps him in check!"

"I shall do whatever it is you wish, Master!" Mitsuri fawned, "The demon was so cute!"

"I'm fine either way... since I'm going to forget anyway...and since he's keeping a member alive..." Muichiro says.
