I balled my fist in anger and frustration over this desperate situation. Did they seriously offer for me to become a demon? Is this another sick game that they do to toy with their dinner?

"Oooooooh... It seems that he grows angry at such an offer." Ayumi snickered.

"Never..." I gritted.

"Jin Sakai. You must know the position you are in right now. Either be eaten and be nothing but wasted potential or join us and take down a being more powerful than you and I. I know you corps share the same mission in killing Muzan forever." Sowa directed.

"Beaten and broken what do you hope to do when that fight takes place. Would you rather fight him alone in a state you won't win or kill him with a group that is stronger together?" Aki suggested.

I thought long and carefully about what I wanted. They offer power in exchange for my humanity but when the time comes. I'll be more ready than any of my peers yet I think they would be mortified by what I have become. They would not hesitate to kill me for such an act of defiance. But I would have something that would be beneficial.

All of this reminded me of when I decided to become the Ghost. A figure meant to strike fear into my enemies and bring hope to all of Tsushima. A decision I do not regret even though it has cost me dearly. In the end, we won with all our might and fought to rid the Mongols of our island.

'What will they say when I become a demon? Will they hate me for choosing such an uncertainty?" I thought.

I was left with an uneasy feeling when I thought of the most important people in my life. What would they think? I honestly do not know but, if they knew that what I do is for the betterment of my people. At this point, I will take it.

'Kagaya... Forgive me for what I am going to do.' I prayed.

3rd POV

The three Demon siblings overlook such a dead beaten body of a man. Sowa was getting fidgety about his idea of wanting to turn Jin into one of them. To him, it felt right and necessary to add him to his ranks. Sowa fought Hashiras before but they happened upon him when he was out hunting. Most died by his hands where he was able to devour them increasing his power. Yet Jin was by far the most interesting as he was the only one to come close to cutting off his head. Sowa wanted that combat prowess by their side when they fight Muzan. All he was waiting for was his response.

Ayumi was flabbergasted and disgusted why her brother would offer such a lowly human. She was ready to kill him and have him serve as the first plate on the table. It took some convincing but eventually as she was smart enough to see the benefit. Although deep down she had an underlying enthusiasm, it would be nice to have another by their side.

Aki was indifferent as he prioritized his family's safety more than anything. On one half he was happy that his brother had proposed something that was almost out of character for Sowa. So he was ready to accept Jin if the ritual goes right. And if there is a hint of defiance where he wishes to use his powers to kill his family. Aki will not hesitate to kill him and watch his body crumble to dust.

A long silence filled the air as they waited for his answer. Sowa was going to be disappointed if he turned him down. Just another piece of food added to their platter. Jin unclenched his fists with expressed a sense of calm or defeat.

"I'll do it..." Jin whispered.

"I'm sorry say that one more," Sowa said.

"I said I'll do it!" He shouted.
