As a Sun Breather, I Could Never Hang Out with Demons

As a plant-manipulating sorcerer, Fujiwara An considered herself pretty capable, even if she couldn't quite measure up to those two extraordinary peers of hers.

She was mortified to get trapped in a semi-special-grade curse's domain on her very first solo mission.

With her cursed energy restricted by an unknown binding, she had no choice but to follow the clues provided within the spiritual realm, one step at a time.

Learn Sun Breathing?

Sure, she'll learn it.

Kill the Demon King, Muzan?

Sure, she'll slash him over two hundred times.

Muzan goes into hiding, and she can't find him?

She'll just hit the time-jump button and wait a hundred years for him to show up.

She had barely arrived when she happened to save a white-haired cult leader from a demon attack.

What? He wanted to invite her to the Eternal Paradise Faith as a guest?

Perfect, she had nowhere else to stay.

But...

Is this how your cult treats its guests?

One day, Fujiwara An lifted the covers and found a meticulously dressed Douma-head staring back at her. She fell silent.

Don't repay kindness with betrayal!

Ignoring her disgusted expression, Douma pounced on her. "I wanna be with An-chan~"

And how had he suddenly turned into a demon without her noticing?!

At that, the cult leader innocently blinked his sparkling, multicolored eyes and covered his fangs, which were about to pop out. "Eh? Because I wanna be with An-chan forever and ever~"

Fujiwara An: "..."

Muzan's perspective:

There were two people Kibutsuji Muzan hated (but was actually afraid of) most.

One was the red-haired, red-eyed Demon Slayer swordsman Tsugikuni Yoriichi, who wore sun-shaped earrings. His innate talent and original Sun Breathing technique had nearly cornered Muzan.

The other was the indigo-haired, blue-eyed swordswoman Fujiwara An, from the same era. She used the exact same Sun Breathing technique. Though she wasn't as outrageously powerful as Yoriichi, she had still helped cut nearly two hundred pieces off him.

Luckily, he'd been fast enough to escape.

Thanks to his talent for keeping a low profile, Kibutsuji Muzan didn't dare show himself until both of them had died.

He thought that once he got past that hurdle, his demon life would be smooth sailing. But no one had told him Fujiwara An would be reincarnated, and bring her memories with her!

Invited by a newly turned demon who was also a cult leader, Muzan strolled through the halls of the Eternal Paradise Faith, intending to look around. But the moment he saw that indigo figure, he nearly died all over again under the flash of her blade.

His demon eyes widened and the veins stood out on his forehead as he turned and fled.

Kibutsuji cursed under his breath. That idiot Douma had actually hidden the walking calamity Fujiwara An in his cult.

He promptly cut off all contact with Douma.

Don't ask why. He was scared.

After hiding away for another hundred years, Muzan finally poked his head out.

He nodded.

Yep, this time it should be safe.

Then one day, while he was out showing off his affection for his new wife and children, he ran into that indigo figure again.

Fujiwara An looked at Muzan, dressed like a contemporary dancing king and more human-shaped demon than man, and smiled shyly as she raised a hand to wave. "Hello! Fancy seeing you again."

Heh, didn't expect that, did you? She's back again ^ ^.

Kibutsuji Muzan abandoned his wife and children and sprinted away. Luckily, he ran into his unreliable Upper Rank Two on the way.

Though old grudges meant he usually loathed this demon, there was no time to be picky in a crisis.

"Douma, stop that woman."

But Douma barely paid him any attention. Instead, he gazed at the woman chasing Muzan, his cheeks flushed and his expression dreamy.

His voice turned cloyingly sweet, utterly disgusting. "Do your best, An-chan! Once you've killed Lord Muzan, I'll marry you."

Muzan stumbled.

Damn it, what an idiot.

Though he'd known better than to trust this guy, Kibutsuji Muzan was angry but quickly regained his composure and immediately summoned the other Upper Ranks to protect him.

But after half a day, not one answered.

His world came crashing down. Who would have thought the Demon King, returning after a thousand years, would be all alone?

The heavens wanted him dead.

Coming soon, please add to your reading list:

Hajizuki Minamoto was an ordinary high school girl until she was forced to bind with the "Reconstruction" System and dumped into a high-risk setting.

From then on, the girl who used to drift through life like a lazy fish had no choice but to spend her days running around just to stay alive.

According to the System, she could earn "Reconstruction Points" by repairing buildings damaged in various accidents.

Every point could buy her one more day of life, and she could also use the System Shop to exchange points for currency and items.

The problem was that repairing an ordinary house only earned her one point. When would this grind ever end?

Luckily, the fairly reliable System gave her a way forward: secretly follow the pillars of each world and repair buildings damaged in the accidents that befell them. That might earn her a huge number of "Reconstruction Points."

So, from the start, Hajizuki Minamoto decisively chose to go to Beika Town, where Shinichi Kudo lived, the one tagged "Trouble follows him wherever he goes."

No denying it, he really was a bringer of disaster. By following him, she easily earned enough "Reconstruction Points" to cover her first day.

But why had no one told her that she also had to exchange "Reconstruction Points" for all her living expenses?

She had no choice...

So she looked at Shinichi Kudo with growing eagerness, as if he were a walking treasure.

"Scene One"

After eating APTX4869 and turning into a child, Shinichi Kudo, now going by the name Conan Edogawa, heard from Sonoko Suzuki that a new transfer student had specifically come to their class to meet him.

When she couldn't meet him in person, she approached his childhood friend Ran Mouri instead, and insisted on joining them whenever they went out.

He even spotted her at the scene of a confrontation with the Black Organization.

His breath caught. The timing of her appearances was too perfect, and she watched him far too intently.

Could she be... a member of the Black Organization?

"Scene Two"

Gojo Satoru was the kind of sorcerer who always went all out on missions, heedless of the damage he caused to buildings, and couldn't even be bothered to put up a "Curtain." He was used to getting chewed out by his teacher, Yaga Masamichi, after every mission.

But after yet again leaving a building in ruins and swaggering off, he actually got praised by Yaga Masamichi.

"Well-behaved and obedient, learns from his mistakes." Were those really words to describe him?

After getting praised again and receiving strange looks from his classmates, he resolved to find the sneaky little thief secretly restoring the scene and clear his name.

At this rate, Geto and Shoko would think he was all talk and actually a well-behaved little angel.

But when he saw the black-haired girl, who was clearly doing good deeds yet somehow looked like she was sneaking around, he hesitated.

Could she be... an agent sent by the old guard to drive a wedge into Jujutsu High?

"Scene Three"

Dazai Osamu had heard plenty about the anonymous ability user in Tokyo who quietly kept things in order after disasters.

One day, that ability user came to Yokohama, and he decided to investigate her true intentions himself.

But when the black-haired girl watched him try to drown himself without lifting a finger, and even suggested he try something more extreme, Dazai fell silent.

Could he have... picked the wrong person? Was the girl in front of him not Tokyo's savior?

--

After they caught her as the culprit helping to repair disaster-damaged settings, Hajizuki Minamoto blinked and insisted she was innocent.

So what? Was doing good deeds against the law?

The brains of the various settings folded their arms and pondered.

"Reconstruction" somehow seemed like more than just a way to fix houses.

Wait, it seemed to have other uses too!
