Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Faced with the rather humorous debt collection scene, Hori Gaku had some guesses, but was not sure yet. He went closer and listened to the people around him talking about this young man:

"It's Zenitsu, this unlucky kid again"

"It's him. He was dumped by his girlfriend again?"

"It seems so. How many times has this happened? The fourth, fifth, sixth... I can't count anymore."

"It’s bad enough that he was dumped, but he has to spend so much money on these women every time. This can’t go on!"

"Who said it wasn't? Little by little, it adds up to a lot. I guess Zenitsu has already owed a huge debt."

Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Hori Gaku was frowning.

Needless to say, it was indeed this kid! Agatsuma Zenitsu! Hori Gaku's future junior brother, the future"Sleeping Pillar" of the Demon Slayer Corps!

Because this kid still has black hair now, not the yellow hair he will have after being struck by lightning in the future, Hori Gaku didn't dare to recognize him before.

Urokodaki had just accepted Tanjiro, and Agatsuma Zenitsu appeared in Momoyama. What should Hori Gaku say? Is everything God's will?

Since he is his future junior brother, he can't just stand by and watch. Hori Gaku plans to step forward to rescue him. Wait! I saved this kid now... This bastard won't snatch Nezuko from me in the future, right?

No way?

I have traveled thousands of miles and traveled all over the place in the past week. , what for?

Not only to complete the task, but more importantly to save the future brother-in-law and future wife, and by the way, to improve their favorability in front of them.

Now that I have saved my wife Zenitsu, isn’t it equivalent to... saving a future rival in love! ?

Thinking of this, Hori Gaku's eyes became fierce.

Otherwise, just ignore him and let Zenitsu fend for himself!

Ahem, just kidding, Hori Gaku is not so stupid as to watch him die.

Besides, it doesn’t matter if Zenitsu is saved. With this kid’s cowardly and negative character, Hori Gaku is sure that he can make him obedient. Even if he is given eight courages, he will never dare to snatch his wife from me in the future!

Hori Gaku walked out of the crowd of onlookers and stopped several big men who were collecting debts with fists and feet:

"I say to you guys, that's enough. If you keep fighting, the guy will die. How can he pay his debts if he dies?"

Several debt collectors stopped when they heard the voice. Seeing someone interfering, they looked unhappy.

People in their line of work have bad tempers. When they see someone interrupting them, they want to turn around and use violence.

Of course, people in their line of work have a lot of eyes and experience. Seeing that Horitake was very imposing and had a knife hanging on his waist, they did not act rashly:

"What do you want to do? Are you going to speak for this bastard? I advise you not to do it. It is only natural to pay back debts."

On the ground, Zenitsu, who was bruised and swollen, heard someone come to his rescue. He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and rushed over to hug Horitake's thighs, crying loudly:

"Help me, big brother! Please save me! I will die if this continues! I will really die……"

Veins popped out of Horitake's forehead, and he said in a gloomy tone:

"Boy, if you dare to rub your tears and snot on my legs, I will beat you to death first."

The timid Zenitsu shuddered and quickly wiped his tears and snot with his sleeves, still holding Horitake's thighs.

Nodding with satisfaction, Horitake patted Zenitsu's head like a ball, and said to the debt collectors:

"It is only natural to pay back debts. Let me tell you, although this guy is cowardly, he is still a laborer. I plan to take him back to be a servant!"

The debt collector asked:

"You mean... you're going to pay off his debt?"

"That's it! Later you can send the bill to Mr. Jigoro Kuwashima on Taoshan Mountain! You know Mr. Kuwashima, right? He's a famous swordsman in the area. You always trust his character, right?"

"We have heard of Mr. Kuangdao's name, but you are……"

"I am the eldest disciple of Kuwajima Jigoro. Don't worry, my master and I won't run away!"

Several debt collectors discussed it and finally came to a unanimous conclusion:

"Hey, young man, we are willing to believe you and the character of Mr. Kuangdao. We will let this guy go for now. We will visit the old man on Taoshan later."

""Okay, okay!"

Several debt collectors left.

Speaking of which, Hori Gaku took on Jigoro's debt for Zenitsu on his own. Wasn't he worried that Jigoro didn't have that much money?

He wasn't worried.

Jigoro in the original work could pay off Zenitsu's debt, and the old man now could definitely do the same.

What a traitor to his master!

The pendant on Hori Gaku's leg: My wife Zenitsu. He was so moved that he burst into tears. He couldn't express his gratitude to Hori Gaku in words, and his tears and snot were rolling down his cheeks:

"Woohoo… Aniki (big brother) you are my savior! You helped me a lot! Woohoo"

"Get out of my way! Keep your tears and snot away! Be careful or I'll beat you up!"

"Woohoo…I’m just…so touched"

"Don't be so moved, didn't you understand what I said just now? I paid off your debt, and your life is mine. From now on, you are the only servant on Taoshan Mountain, and all the dirty work on the mountain is yours!"

""Ah!?" Zenitsu was dumbfounded.

Horitake continued to tease Zenitsu:

"What? I'll pay your debts, and you work for me! That's normal!"

"Then...then what should I do in the mountains?"

"You are just a servant, and you still want to be picky about your work? All the work on the mountain is yours! Washing clothes, cooking, chopping wood, making fire, cleaning toilets... Do you have any objections?"

Zenitsu pouted. Due to the fierce aura of Horitake, he dared not raise a single word of opinion.

Woohoo... What am I doing... Just out of the wolf's den, and into the tiger's den again?

Zenitsu, who was helpless, could only follow Horitake obediently and tremblingly, following his footsteps to Momoyama, and nervously accepting his unknown fate.

Carrying two bottles of good wine and followed by Agatsuma Zenitsu, Horitake happily went up the mountain and knocked on the door of Kuwajima Jigoro's house.

When he opened the door, it turned out to be the stinky boy Horitake! Kuwajima Jigoro was so angry! As expected, he began to get angry and scolded:

"Brat! It's been a week! You still remember to come back!"

Hori Gaku remained calm and composed despite Jigoro's anger.

"You old man, I'm back. I was just delayed for a few days. Why are you so angry? I went out to do something important this time!

Something big happened to my future brother-in-law and future wife. I have to settle them down before I come back."

Jigoro was about to get angry again when he found Zenitsu, who was cowering behind Horitake, pointing at him and asking:

"Could this be the future brother-in-law you were talking about?"

"Huh?"

Looking back at Zenitsu, Hori Gaku realized what was happening and slapped himself on the forehead:

"Oops! No! You misunderstood, old man!"

"Then who is he?"

Looking at Zenitsu, Horitake said with a smile:

"I met this unlucky guy in the town below. I brought him back to be our servant. From now on, all the work on the mountain will be handed over to him!

Of course, if you like him, it's not impossible to take him as your disciple in the future."

"Servant? What's going on?"

Horitake briefly explained Zenitsu's debt problem, and Jigoro was furious after hearing it:

"What!? You bastard! You didn't even know how much money he owed, and you pushed his debt onto me without authorization!?"

"Don't worry, I know you have saved a lot of money, I will definitely be able to help him pay off his debts."

"What if I can’t pay it back?!"

"That's easy, just throw this kid down the mountain and let him fend for himself."

Zenitsu was dumbfounded.
