Douma Always Wants to Date Me

[The next story I plan to write is "Afraid of the Sun? Why Don't You Plant Sunflowers?" Please add it to your reading list in my author column orz]

Reborn in an era where humans and demons coexist, Yukimura Suzuran is forced by a series of unavoidable circumstances to start a love affair as lousy as dog shit with Douma, then Upper Rank Six.

As everyone knows, Douma was born without emotions.

Dating Douma is like trying to brag to a cow: What the hell are you talking about?

Douma, however, thinks he's very considerate and that nobody understands romance better than he does!

One day, Suzuran stares dreamily at a beautiful courtesan.

Afterward, Douma sells her to Yoshiwara in his name as her husband.

Douma: I sent little Suzuran to be with the big sister she likes. She must be so touched! ^O^/

Suzuran: ???

Muzan is scum among scum, and Douma is a dog among dogs.

Another day, Douma brings home a very handsome demon and introduces him to his future wife:

"As the saying goes, a little turbulence makes love stronger. This is a demon I just recruited. Don't worry, he's not here to break us up, he's here to join us!"

Suzuran: ...Should I thank nature for this gift?

"Afraid of the Sun? Why Don't You Plant Sunflowers?"

You were born with a game System. One day, you awaken a pixel game called [Demon Slayer Farming RPG]. The System tells you that you need to earn ten million gold to clear the game.

You diligently grow crops, but your farm is always wrecked by demons at night, and they eat every last vegetable.

Luckily, sunflowers produce solar energy, and demons are afraid of the sun.

So you plant sunflowers all over the area within a ten-mile radius.

What's more, you can always find curious crows called [Demon Slayers] (scarecrows) lying around. Stick them in your fields, and they'll wipe out every demon.

They need solar energy produced by sunflowers to work. You can also feed them their favorite [Salmon and Radish], [Hagi Mochi], [Tempura], and [Sakura Mochi] to raise their affection and double their efficiency.

Gather the ingredients you need and head to the [Butterfly Mansion] to prepare the food.

You also discover that putting two Sanemi with scars on their faces together, or placing one with a snake around his neck beside another with pink braids, makes their work efficiency increase severalfold.

Unfortunately, these scarecrows only last one night and disappear automatically the next day.

[Hashira-level] scarecrows are the rarest. Fortunately, you've figured out the schedules of a few Hashira. For example, every Wednesday evening, you can always find the [Water Hashira], who loves salmon and radish, at the hot spring behind the mountain.

[This is the men's bath! You can't come in!]

But that's okay. You can go to the [Witch's Hut] and change your gender to male.

Then you can walk right in!

You can also often dig up [Antiques] in your fields. Equip the S-rank antique "Snowflake Hairpin" to keep the pink-haired striped demon immobilized for three minutes, or use the "Sun Wheel Flower Cards" to scare off the Demon King...

[Enjoy the game, and good luck clearing it soon!]

The Demon Slayer Corps has recently been plagued by something uncanny. While walking along the road, they often get struck by a woman's pickaxe and taken to a farm. When night falls, demons appear there in droves.

But she always gives them something called "solar energy." Attach it to a Nichirin Blade, and demons can be slain with ease.

She also treats them to delicious food, so they don't mind.

"Shinobu, Shinobu, listen! Last time I got taken there, Mr. Iguro was there too. Her farm is so pretty, and the sakura mochi was delicious!"

"I was going back to the Butterfly Mansion to get medicine when I ran into her cooking here."

"Mm. I've also been abducted while taking a bath."

Giyu abruptly chimes in as the girls chat.

Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps looks at him in unison.

No way. What is this guy talking about?

"The person I ran into while bathing was a man, while the one we usually see is a woman. They must be siblings."

The Water Hashira, who loves salmon and radish, concludes.

★ The game's gender can be changed, but the player is female. It's a secret identity (?)

★ The heroine transmigrated into the Demon Slayer world, but thinks it's a game. Her rare blood attracts demons. She thinks the demons are eating her vegetables, when they're actually after her XD

★ The game is basically a mix of Stardew Valley and Plants vs. Zombies.

★ The CP is Giyu, who often gets abducted while bathing XD

Theme: I must have survived this long because I was meant to find happiness.
