Upon hearing this, Lin felt a stir in his heart.
He knew who Kagaya Ubuyashiki was referring to.
The one living in Asakusa, Tokyo, who had interacted with Yoriichi Tsugikuni was naturally Lady Tamayo.
She had witnessed with her own eyes how Yoriichi Tsugikuni had become the living nightmare of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Furthermore, one of the reasons Yoriichi Tsugikuni was expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps was precisely because he let Lady Tamayo go.
Perhaps Lady Tamayo really did know the burial place of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
While he was pondering, Lin heard Kagaya Ubuyashiki say, “You may go to Asakusa, Tokyo, to visit Lady Tamayo.” After saying this, Lin and Kagaya Ubuyashiki exchanged a look of mutual understanding.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki understood that Lin knew of Lady Tamayo’s existence and was aware that he himself had a connection with her.
Of course, just as mentioned before, Kagaya Ubuyashiki would absolutely not press for details on why Lin knew these things.
He simply continued in a firm tone, “I will communicate with Lady Tamayo in advance and make arrangements for how you two can meet.
Although it may be somewhat difficult, I will certainly make this happen!” Lin naturally understood why Kagaya Ubuyashiki said this matter was somewhat difficult.
Lady Tamayo was a demon, whereas Kagaya Ubuyashiki represented the Demon Slayer Corps.
Even though they had maintained contact, arranging a meeting still meant significant risk for Lady Tamayo.
After all, no one could guarantee one hundred percent that this meeting would not be a trap set by the Demon Slayer Corps for Lady Tamayo.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki seemed to read Lin’s thoughts and smiled.
“Mr.
Lin, how to persuade Lady Tamayo is my concern.
Whatever you need my help with, I will certainly do it.” After speaking, Kagaya Ubuyashiki had his son bring over a leather bag.
He took the initiative to open the bag, which was filled with silver coins and banknotes from the Taisho era.
“Please accept this modest sum for your expenses on the road, Mr.
Lin.” Taking the bag, Lin felt a bit dazed.
He kept feeling as if Kagaya Ubuyashiki would say “I have considerable family assets” in the next moment.
At the same time, he sighed with emotion.
It was no wonder the members of the Demon Slayer Corps respected Kagaya Ubuyashiki so much.
Although it was dangerous in the Demon Slayer Corps, the boss was kind to people, paid extremely high wages, and provided free room, board, and medical care.
Look at Muzan Kibutsuji’s side, on the other hand.
Not only were they likely to be hunted by the Demon Slayer Corps, but they might even be slaughtered by the boss himself.
There was zero pay, and they had to fend for themselves for food and lodging.
So, Muzan Kibutsuji was truly a scummy boss!
After these reflections, Lin suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
How was he supposed to get to Asakusa, Tokyo?
Kagaya Ubuyashiki noticed Lin’s embarrassment and smiled, “I can arrange for Kyojuro Rengoku to accompany you.
Additionally, I will arrange for the support staff to handle logistics for you.” Lin certainly had no objections to such an arrangement.
His current synchronization was at 20%, which was enough to instantly kill any demon below the Twelve Kizuki with a single slash.
However, if he were to suddenly encounter an Upper Rank, or be besieged by several Lower Ranks, there would still be some risk.
Furthermore, at Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s burial place, he was very likely to face Kokushibo, the Upper Rank One, head-on.
With Kyojuro Rengoku accompanying him, Lin was confident that even if they could not win, they could retreat unscathed.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki patiently waited for Lin to finish thinking before speaking.
“If there are no issues, let us go out together.” Lin nodded and left the room with Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
On the way to the courtyard, Lin asked, “Speaking of which, how is the Kamado Family doing?” Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently.
“I had the support staff take them directly to the Butterfly Mansion for a very detailed check-up, and confirmed that they are all fine.
I originally intended for them to just stay at the Butterfly Mansion with peace of mind.
But Madam Kamado insisted on bringing the children to work at the Butterfly Mansion, saying that this was the only way she could feel at ease.
There is a child in the Kamado Family named Tanjiro, who is very hardworking.
Everyone likes him very much.
Oh, by the way, Madam Kamado already knows what happened, and she asked when you would return to the Butterfly Mansion, as she wants to thank you in person.” Lin smiled upon hearing this, but quickly became a bit awkward.
Why did his brain short-circuit back then, causing him to say that line: “Madam, surely you would not want to…” After walking to the courtyard, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked around at everyone and said, “Giyu, I have read your report.
You are quite right.
Demons usually do not gather together.
It is very likely that there is something there attracting them.
Therefore, I need you and Murata to continue patrolling here.
Is that acceptable?” Giyu Tomioka immediately replied, “Yes.” Murata also said excitedly, “Master, of course, no problem!” Watching the two accept their orders, Lin recalled the location where he had encountered the demons, and suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu.
Demons gathering, and the architectural style over there, seemed to fit a plot point from the first part of the original work.
He just did not know which demon that appeared in the first part would be unlucky enough to run into Giyu Tomioka.
Just then, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at Lin, “I have another special mission here that requires Mr.
Lin to undertake.
In addition, I would like to entrust Kyojuro Rengoku to execute this mission together with Mr.
Lin.
Kyojuro Rengoku, what is your opinion on this?” As soon as these words were spoken, the Hashira present were all a bit stunned.
What kind of special mission could it be that required someone who had not even officially joined the Demon Slayer Corps to do it, and also required a Hashira to accompany them personally?
Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not explain, but just looked at Kyojuro Rengoku with a gentle expression.
The latter sensed Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s gaze, immediately straightened his posture, and responded loudly and cheerfully, “I have no problem with that!” That dazzling golden-red hair swayed slightly in the sunlight, making him look just like an owl calling out loudly.
Although he also realized that something was amiss, the fact that the Master chose him among all the Hashira was undoubtedly a sign of trust in him!
He certainly could not let down the Master’s trust!
Lin suddenly sensed a gaze directed at him.
He activated the Transparent World and sure enough, discovered that Sanemi Shinazugawa was staring fixedly in his direction.
Lin could not help but sigh.
Fine, if there were no surprises, Sanemi Shinazugawa was going to question him again.
However, Sanemi Shinazugawa’s words caught Lin by surprise.
“Master, I am very sorry, but I must finish saying these few words!” Sanemi Shinazugawa’s tone was serious.
“Although you, Master, have not explained the specific details of the mission, since one of the candidates is a Hashira, it implies that there is significant risk.
To let an outsider who has not officially joined the Demon Slayer Corps execute such a special mission…
Since you, Master, are willing to trust this guy, I will not question it too much.
However, in order to ensure the mission goes smoothly, I request to participate in this mission!” …
