Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Hori Gaku was feeling very proud at this moment, in short, very proud.

After all, who wouldn't want to enjoy the feeling of becoming famous? Especially being revered and worshipped by these cute little girls, treating oneself as an idol, this feeling is really good.

Kanzaki Aoi's expression was indeed full of surprise and admiration. Although Kurika Ryokan was dazed, the surprise in her eyes was not fake. Only the three sisters with big eyes...

The next reaction of the three of them caught Hori Gaku off guard.

Kokiyo, Kosumi and Konaho, the three little sisters, were sitting in the corridor. They looked at Hori Gaku, and then gathered together and started to chatter strangely:

"Eh? Is this the legendary Horitake-sama? Why does he look……"

"Looks a little off, doesn't it?"

"Yes! Yes! He doesn't look like a strong person who can kill an upper rank."

"I heard that Lord Horitake is very strong and can knock down several trees with one punch, but he doesn't look like that."

"I also heard that Lord Horitake looks very scary, and his appearance alone can scare ordinary ghosts to tears."

"Yes, Lord Horitake doesn't look as strong as the legend says.

Horitake was immediately furious.

Shinobu Kocho's smile was truly from the heart. She smiled at Horitake:

"Oh my, I didn't expect that this is how Horitake-san is perceived by little girls. It seems like you have failed to live up to their expectations."

"Sister Shinobu, please stop adding fuel to the fire." Hori Gaku felt like he had been humiliated, his face dark as the bottom of a pot:"No, I have to ask clearly where these rumors came from, to ruin my reputation."

Hori Gaku walked over, rubbed his face, tried to soften his expression, and tried to be amiable to the three sisters with big eyes:

"Little sister, where did you hear those descriptions of me you just said? Can you tell me? I promise not to beat him to death."

The three sisters with big eyes were very well behaved:

"Oh, that's what the swordsmen who came to the Butterfly House for treatment said recently.

Horitake had a bad feeling:

"Did one person say this, or did many people say something different?"

"Many people say different things."

Hori Gaku felt a little autistic after hearing this.

He understood that this was not a rumor spread by one person, but a very widespread rumor, the kind that could not be stopped even if the source could not be found.

It was probably because after he killed Yu Hu, his reputation spread, and some people began to imagine his image, and as a result, this imagination was spread as a rumor, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became.

It was impossible to stop these inexplicable rumors.

But fortunately, he could show his truest situation to these five sisters.

Hori Gaku spoke softly to the three sisters with big eyes again:

"Little sisters, those are just rumors, don't believe them, I am the one who killed Yu Hu, Hori Takeru, don't doubt my identity."

The three sisters with big eyes immediately raised their doubts:

"But, Onisan, you don't seem to have the aura of a strong man at all? Did you really kill the upper rank?"

"Yes, yes, could it be that he lied about his achievements?"

"After all, big brother, you really can't tell how strong you are? Not like those muscular guys in the pillars."

A well character began to appear above Horitake's head.

Who told you that a strong man must be a muscular man?

"What the little sister said was biased. The muscular men in the pillars did look very strong, but there were also many ordinary or even weak people in the pillars.

For example, Iguro Obanai, Tokito Muichiro, and Tomioka Giyuu.

They also did not have the aura of a strong man as you said, but they were indeed very strong."

The three sisters with big eyes blinked their big eyes. It seemed to be true, right?

Horitake struck while the iron was hot:

"So, the strong are not necessarily muscular men. For example, I am very strong, strong enough to kill the upper strings!"

The three sisters with bead eyes understood, and they became enthusiastic when facing Horitake:

"So that's it. That's how it is.……"

"Amazing……"

"Although they don't look strong, they are still very strong."

Hori Gaku felt powerless.

Was he being praised?

He must have been praised!

But why did this compliment feel so awkward? What does it mean to look weak, but actually still very strong?

Hori Gaku wanted to explain something, but seeing the innocent three sisters with big eyes made him feel tired.

Forget it, this inherent impression should be changed by getting along slowly.

Helplessly, Hori Gaku turned around and looked at the smiling Kocho Shinobu, and said in a faint tone:

"Sister Shinobu, where should I stay tonight?"

Kimaru Shinobu pointed casually:

"There is a woodshed over there."

"What the hell!?"Hori Gaku was shocked:"Sister Shinobu, you let me sleep in the woodshed!? How did I offend you?"

Sister Shinobu smiled:

"Eh? Horitake-san, didn't you notice? You've been offending me from the beginning, and you didn't even notice it. Sorry, you're so unconscious, I'm being abrupt."

That's right! This is Kocho Shinobu, this feeling and this taste are right.

No longer counting on Kocho Shinobu, Horitake turned to get close to Kanao:

""You are Kanao's sister, right? Can you help me find a room? I'm staying at the Butterfly House tonight."

Kanao blinked, then took out a coin, flicked it upwards, and put it on the back of her hand.

She opened her palm and looked at the coin on the back of her hand. It was the other side.

So, Kanao gave Horitake a polite smile, without saying a word or moving.

Horitake looked at Kanao, and his face turned dark again.

You flipped me the other side right at the start. Am I so unlucky today?

Horitake wanted to use Tanjiro's words in the original work to resolve Kanao's knot, but he hesitated.

He had already snatched it away. I have taken Nezuko from Tanjiro, but I can't take Kanao away from Tanjiro, right?

Forget it, that's it. After all, I'm not a bad guy. I'll leave Kanao's knot to Tanjiro to untie. His wife is his wife after all.

So, Horigaku looked at the last sister here, Aoi Kanzaki.

It seems that Aoi is the most normal person in the Butterfly House.

Aoi's reaction lived up to Horigaku's expectations. She temporarily put down the clothes to be hung out to dry, walked over and faced Horigaku with a slightly wry smile:

"I'm sorry, Lord Horitake, Lady Kanao... has some problems, the room, right? I'll solve it for you, please come over here!"

"Great, Xiaokui, you are the most reliable!"

Hori Gaku followed Xiaokui's instructions and entered the Butterfly House, and came to a nice room.

Hori Gaku looked around the door. The room was clean and well-equipped. Most importantly, there was only one bed in the room. It was a single room, not a multi-person room.

This was very considerate.

Xiaokui walked into the room and introduced it to Hori Gaku:

"Lord Horitake, this room is for the injured pillars to recuperate. Please stay here tonight."

"Great! Xiaokui is really reliable."

"No, no, no, Lord Horitake, if you need anything, just call me."

"That's good. I don't have anything to complain about."

In this way, Hori Gaku temporarily moved into the Butterfly House. Although Shinobu Kocho had some complaints about Hori Gaku's desperate behavior, the five sisters in the Butterfly House welcomed Hori Gaku's arrival.

At dinner, several sisters in the Butterfly House invited Hori Gaku to have dinner together.

Hori Gaku also enjoyed the honor of having dinner with six beauties.

At dinner, the three sisters with big eyes asked about the battle situation of Hori Gaku killing Yu Hu. Of course, Hori Gaku did not refuse. He told the girls about his heroic deeds and made them feel good.

In this way, a night passed in the Butterfly House, and tomorrow is the meeting of the pillars.
