Azuma Shoyo chuckled, watching the scene.
Just then, Chie Morinaga stepped out in pajamas, fresh from her shower.
"Azuma Shoyo, I'm done—go wash up and sleep early!"
"Good night!"
She yawned, looking drowsy.
"Alright, Ms. Morinaga, rest well—good night!"
Azuma Shoyo nodded, eyeing her pajamas.
Did she always wear this?
Or was it because they were out? The thick fabric wrapped her up tight, clashing with her mature, sexy vibe.
In the bathroom, a pleasant bath gel scent hit him.
"Ms. Morinaga's?"
He wondered.
Closing the door, water soon splashed inside.
Azuma Shoyo showered fast.
He didn't get dirty.
Normal people wash off dust and dead skin, but he wasn't normal anymore.
His bio-force field kept grime off.
So he just rinsed, lathered once, and stepped out.
As he finished, Conan shuffled out of another bathroom, hair a mess, with a refreshed Kogoro Mouri behind.
"How was it, Conan?" Azuma Shoyo grinned, leaning in. "Uncle Kogoro's scrubbing skills good?"
"Ha! I scrubbed this kid spotless!"
Kogoro laughed, missing the jab, thinking it was praise.
Conan, though, looked dead inside.
He felt unclean!
Azuma Shoyo ruffled Conan's hair, making the nest worse, then waved to Kogoro under Conan's murderous glare and headed to his room.
"Damn Azuma Shoyo!"
"You wait—I'll get you back someday!"
Conan fumed inwardly.
"Yawn!" Kogoro scooped up the brooding Conan. "Let's go, kid—sleep time. I'm beat."
Conan, "…"
No! I don't wanna sleep with Uncle Kogoro—I want Ran-neechan! Ran-neechan!!
Too bad—protests failed!
Kogoro hauled him into their room.
Bang! Door shut.
Just like Conan and Ran's future—slammed closed!
Past 1 AM—
Azuma Shoyo, last to shower, lay down in his room.
"Let's see how many demons are on Kosai Island. Can we even relax tomorrow?"
He thought, activating super hearing and vision, stretching them across the island.
Next second—
Sounds flooded his mind, images filled his eyes.
About ten minutes later—
He cut off the powers, retracting his gaze.
"Didn't expect so many demons on tiny Kosai Island!"
Azuma Shoyo was surprised.
And—
Not just Demon Slayer demons.
He spotted ghouls too, active all over!
Even ghouls thrived here—forget Kosai Island, call it Demon Island!
Demon Slayer demons numbered at least 100,000!
Hard to believe—for one island!
Then—
Ghouls weren't based here, so fewer—still over 10,000 scattered around.
No familiar ghouls, though.
As for demons—
He only saw a few Lower Moons.
Muzan Kibutsuji and his Upper Moons? Nowhere.
"Probably in Infinity Castle."
Azuma Shoyo figured.
Infinity Castle was Narutaka's Blood Demon Art—a pocket dimension.
No seeing or hearing in there—normal.
Having scoped the island's demons, Azuma Shoyo had a grasp.
This Demon Island was Muzan's lair.
Aside from ghouls hunting in remote spots, the main city was overrun by demons.
Of course!
They didn't hunt by day.
Only at night or on cloudy days did they kill and eat!
So—
Kosai Island had long whispered of demons after dark.
Not whispers, though.
Real!
In his room—
Azuma Shoyo turned off the lights, ready to sleep.
The Marvel side was nearing a big showdown.
Deadpool & Wolverine moved fast—he'd only need two trips to clear it.
Honestly—
If not for chasing hidden achievements, he'd have smoked Cassandra Nova last time, beating the world before the plot even kicked off.
His last world's gains were too stacked.
Dual Kryptonian traits.
His power dwarfed most mutants.
Barring a few with specific counters, he was invincible.
Of course!
Not if comic-tier mutants showed up.
That's a different beast!
But—
In Deadpool & Wolverine, only Cassandra Nova was a hassle.
And he'd already nabbed her trait.
So—
The one counter was gone!
Clearing it? Easy peasy.
Eyes closed, he drifted off.
But then—
His locked door creaked open.
Azuma Shoyo's eyes snapped open, staring at the doorway.
Shizuka Marukawa, in cartoon pajamas, stumbled in, half-asleep.
She shut the door, plopped on the bed, lifted the covers, and slid in.
