Chapter 493 The pitiful yet kind-hearted Giyu Tomioka
He did eat with Mitsuri Kanroji when he was with the Demon Slayer Corps, but back then they ate the Demon Slayer Corps' meals, so he didn't have to pay for them no matter how much he ate.
We occasionally work together on missions, but that's only occasional.
Who would have thought that in just one month, Obanai Iguro would shed his base desire to treat money like dirt and become a greedy person?
Even someone like Obanai Iguro has some self-respect. If you're broke, you can't just ask Kagaya Ubuyashiki for more money, can you?
Although he will most likely still give it to them, he is generally concerned about his reputation.
Whether I make money or not is another matter; I just hope that Kanroji Mitsuki can eat well.
Seeing that Kanroji Mitsuri was rubbing her stomach and still seemed a little unsatisfied, Tanjiro smiled and pointed to the plate, saying, "Ms. Mitsuri, there's an extra bowl here."
"Ah! Really!" Mitsuri Kanroji asked the doctor at lightning speed, "Is no one going to eat it?"
"No one is there?"
"If nobody's around, I'll eat it, okay?"
Although she asked the question in this way, the subtext in her tone was already very clear.
As expected, after asking the question at lightning speed, without even giving anyone else a chance to speak, Kanroji Mitsuri picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
"So delicious~" Kanroji Mitsuri smiled happily.
How come there's an extra bowl there?
Yuko was somewhat puzzled.
Kanae quickly answered her question.
Kanae said, embarrassed, "Um, Mitsuri-chan... that bowl seems to have been reserved for Giyuu..."
Because Kanroji Mitsuri spoke too fast and didn't tolerate any rebuttal, Kanae couldn't express herself in time.
At the same time, before Kanroji Mitsuri could react, Kanzaki Aoi's voice came from outside the door.
"Everyone, Mr. Tomioka has arrived."
Tanjiro and Mitsuri Kanroji turned their heads blankly and looked at Giyu Tomioka's expressionless face. They instantly felt extremely guilty, as if they had committed a terrible crime.
Tanjiro simply felt that it was his fault for not noticing this and letting Mitsuri eat the bowl.
With a stiff expression, Kanroji Mitsuri slowly spat out the noodles she had half-eaten, put her chopsticks back on the bowl, and casually placed them back on her plate, as if she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.
Who would want to eat that anymore!
Everyone couldn't help but think to themselves, "Wow!"
Obanai Iguro comforted him, "It's alright, this guy might have already eaten his fill at the temple fair."
"Is that so?!" Kanroji Mitsuri's stiff expression changed again, showing a slight improvement.
Mr. Iguro is right, with so much food at the temple fair, there must be...
"Gurgle~" As if determined to cause trouble for them, Yoshiyuki Tomioka's stomach made a protesting gurgling sound.
Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat: "Mr. Tomioka must have been busy selling things the whole time and didn't have time to eat, right?"
Kanroji Mitsuri, on the verge of tears, pushed the noodles away: "Please, please eat..."
Now things felt even worse. She hadn't eaten anything, even though she had already eaten a lot of snacks and ate the most noodles by herself. Now she had even eaten all the noodles that were left for Mr. Tomioka.
A strong sense of guilt overwhelmed Kanroji Mitsuri.
Yu Zi couldn't bear to watch this scene, so she covered her face and stood up: "You should take care of this bowl of noodles yourself. I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can make him anything else."
“Miss Yuko~” Mitsuri Kanroji looked at Yuko gratefully.
What a kind person!
Giyu Tomioka finally spoke up: "No need."
"Sit down for a bit." Yuko patted his shoulder and added, "By the way, Tanjiro told you about the stupid thing you did, it has nothing to do with me."
Tanjiro, who was still smiling, thought to himself that Miss Yuko was indeed kind-hearted.
Upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically.
Miss Yuko!!!
Yoshiyuki Tomioka looked puzzled, not understanding what Ikuko meant.
However, Yuko's words also served as a reminder to several villains.
Shinazugawa Sanemi grinned: "Tomioka, I heard your luggage was stolen and you ended up begging for money under an overpass?"
Uzui Tengen chimed in, "How about I sponsor you a little something?"
Tanjiro's face was numb.
These two are updating their versions way too fast!
He clearly said he was going to sell ice cream!
After Shinazugawa Sanemi said that, Tanjiro couldn't even imagine what Giyu would think of him.
He must have made it all up! He must be!
However, Giyu Tomioka did not offer any explanation; he simply found a corner and sat down quietly.
Tanjiro, forcing himself to speak, explained, "Mr. Giyu, I only said you were selling ice cream."
"Hmm," Giyu Tomioka replied calmly.
As expected of Mr. Yiyong, he didn't seem angry at all.
Tanjiro breathed a long sigh of relief.
Kanae couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was Mr. Tomioka; if it had been anyone else, things would probably have gotten out of hand.
Thinking of this, Kanae couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shinazugawa Sanemi.
Sanemi Shinazugawa originally wanted to provoke Giyu Tomioka again, but after receiving this eye roll, he...
Well, teasing this piece of wood isn't really that fun.
Giyu Tomioka's calm demeanor made Sanemi Shinazugawa and the others lose interest, and they quickly stopped taking the matter seriously.
Kanroji Mitsuri glanced at everyone guiltily, thinking that no one seemed to be paying attention to her anymore. After hesitating for a moment, she quietly reached for the noodles.
She'd already taken a bite of it, so it would be impolite to give it to someone else, and it's also inappropriate to waste it. Let her finish it.
A short while later, Yuko returned looking like she had a headache.
"I really couldn't find anything to eat at this hour, so I made a few rice balls. Is that alright?" Yuko placed the plate in front of Yoshiyuki Tomioka.
The plate actually contained not only rice balls, but also a few pieces of leftover char siu.
"Really? You can cook?" Yuzui Tengen was shocked. The rice ball was shaped so perfectly.
He looked left and right, and realized that only Shinobu Kocho was missing. "Could it have been Shinobu Kocho who did this?"
Kanae explained, "Shinobu, she went to tidy up her room after finishing her midnight snack."
Yu Zi's face darkened further: "Spit it out."
"what?"
Yu Zi sneered, "The noodles you ate included a portion of mine."
Uzui Tengen: "...Don't be so heartless, okay?"
Yu Zi rolled her eyes at him.
"That's enough, thank you." Giyu Tomioka nodded slightly.
That's the good thing about the Demon Slayer Corps; they're not picky eaters at all.
Eat whatever is available.
Yuko smiled and said, "Yes, Giyu is indeed a polite person, unlike some others."
Uzui Tengen opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but after looking around, it seemed that no one could offer any support, so he had to give up.
Yuko sneered inwardly, thinking, "You're lucky to be alive." Turning to Tomioka Giyuu, she smiled and said, "Then you can eat slowly. I'll go check how the room is prepared."
