The Ubuyashiki twins standing nearby acted.
They stepped forward, speaking one after the other: “Since a Hashira has spoken, please wait a month.
We will notify you in advance then.” “Great, great, we can drag this out for another month.” A blonde-haired boy said.
He had been forced here by his teacher…
he didn’t want to kill Demons at all.
“How could this be.” Kamado Tanjiro stood in the crowd, clenching his hands.
He wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps as soon as possible, to kill Demons while also finding a way to turn his sister back to normal, but now it was going to be delayed another month?
His gaze fell on Nathan and the others, ‘They were members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and they seemed to have high status.’ ‘Plus, with that earlier ability, just a glance sent someone flying into the sky.
Such a miraculous method might even be able to restore Nezuko!’ Thinking this, Tanjiro stepped forward and walked toward Nathan.
At this moment, Shinobu was introducing the spiky-haired guy to Nathan.
“His name is Shinazugawa Genya.
His older brother is also a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps.
He has no aptitude for Breathing Techniques, but he’s eager to prove himself, so he’s a bit impatient.” “Even without Breathing Techniques, I can still kill Demons!” Genya glared at Shinobu, then turned to leave.
“Even if you don’t let me participate in the selection, I’m going to kill Demons!” Nathan simply flicked his finger, and Genya collapsed unconscious.
“It’s going to be dangerous around here for the next few days.
If he goes off to kill Demons recklessly, he might die.
It’s better for him to stay here and wait for his brother.” Nathan said.
“Anyway, since something this big has happened, Shinobu-chan, you’ll definitely inform Ubuyashiki and gather the other Hashiras to witness this matter.” “I understand.” Shinobu released her Kasugai Crow.
That was the Demon Slayer Corps’ method of communication.
“Excuse me—” Tanjiro walked over, feeling apprehensive.
He looked at Nathan.
“Is there a way to turn Demons back into humans?” ‘Has a relative become a Demon?’ Shinobu looked at Tanjiro, guessing the truth.
She also looked at Nathan with great interest.
Nathan had given her so many surprises along the way…
he seemed almost omnipotent.
She also wanted to know if Nathan could accomplish such a miracle.
“I haven’t tried that yet.” Nathan said.
“You can bring your sister here and let me study her.
Don’t worry, the worst outcome is that she can’t be turned back into a human, but I can give her a new human body, guaranteed to be exactly the same as the original.” “Can you even do that?” Shinobu found it unbelievable.
“How exactly do you switch bodies?” “It’s hard for me to explain.
This is also a very difficult technique.” Nathan said.
“I learned it from the best puppeteer in my world.
It cost me a lot of money.” He was referring to Aozaki Touko.
She had reached the rank of Grand just through puppetry, had countless spare bodies, and had even been designated for sealing by the Magic Association.
But she was very short on money.
After Nathan visited her with a suitcase full of gold, he successfully learned puppetry from her.
“Switch to a new body?” Tanjiro was a little conflicted.
He didn’t even have time to wonder how Nathan knew his sister had become a Demon.
People in this era were relatively conservative in their thinking and couldn’t quite accept changing bodies.
But he quickly made a decision.
No matter what, it was better than being a Demon.
He fell to his knees and prostrated himself before Nathan: “Thank you so much for your help!” “There’s no need for that.” Nathan waved his hand, and a gentle breeze lifted him up.
Tanjiro said: “I’ll go get Nezuko right away.” “No, you stay here.
Let Urokodaki bring Nezuko.” Nathan said.
“It’s going to be dangerous around here for the next couple of days.
Any Demon you run into could kill you instantly.
Urokodaki is at least a former Hashira.
As long as he can survive the first round, I can go rescue him.” Shinobu chimed in from the side: “Why not have Tomioka-san come with Urokodaki-san?
They’re master and disciple, and they work well together.” “Yeah, let’s do that.” Nathan said to Tanjiro.
“In the meantime, you can practice Sun Breathing.” “Sun Breathing?” Tanjiro was confused.
“I learned Water Breathing.” “No, you do know it.” Nathan said.
“The breathing technique your father taught you, and the dance Hinokami Kagura, that’s Sun Breathing and its twelve accompanying sword forms.
It’s the original breathing technique, and the strongest one.” … At the Demon Slayer Corps’ headquarters, the head of the Ubuyashiki Family, which had formed the entire Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, was seated there.
Aside from Shinobu, all the Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps were gathered there.
Kagaya coughed, his voice somewhat weak: “Shinobu says she has found a master who can exterminate Kibutsuji Muzan.
She wants us to go to Mount Fujikasane to meet that distinguished guest.” “Exterminate Kibutsuji Muzan?” The voices of several Hashiras were filled with skepticism.
“Could the Insect Hashira have been tricked?” “Indeed, although we too want to kill Kibutsuji Muzan with our own hands and cut off the source of this evil, we are already the highest combat power.
Can we really trust someone who just appeared out of nowhere?” The Sound Hashira laughed heartily: “Whether it’s true or not, we just need to go and see for ourselves.
If he’s really that strong, he’ll definitely be a very flamboyant person!” “Show some respect.” Kagaya said.
“I saw a glimpse of the future.
Kibutsuji Muzan is about to be swallowed by a sea of light.
That person is indeed a noble and divine being.” “It seems we should indeed treat that honored guest with the highest courtesy.” The Sound Hashira immediately changed his tune.
All the Hashiras trusted Kagaya greatly, and he also possessed the ability of the Foresight, allowing him to see a little bit of the future.
The oldest, the Stone Hashira, clasped his hands together, tears streaming from his eyes: “The hatred that has spanned a thousand years is finally coming to an end.
There will no longer be tragedies of Demons eating humans.” “So, let’s depart immediately.
I can’t wait to meet that honored guest.” Kagaya’s tone was full of emotion.
“Oyakata-sama is coming too?” The Stone Hashira asked.
“Your health—” “It’s fine.
As long as Kibutsuji Muzan dies, the curse on me will disappear.” Kagaya said.
“Besides, because of him, this curse has tormented my family for over a thousand years.
I want to see Kibutsuji Muzan die with my own eyes.” The Stone Hashira sighed.
Indeed, for over a thousand years, generation after generation had been tormented by a curse.
Even the gentlest person would be filled with hatred for the one responsible, right?
“Let’s move.” Kagaya said.
“We need to get there before dark.
It will be dangerous after dark, and I’ll become a burden to you.” The Flame Hashira said: “No, there aren’t any particularly strong Demons around Mount Fujikasane.
You won’t be a burden to us.” “Since a change is about to happen, it might indeed become dangerous.” The Stone Hashira said.
“Don’t forget, none of the Upper Moons have died even once yet.” At these words, the atmosphere among the Hashiras became somber.
Even the Hashiras had only ever killed Lower Moons.
The last Hashira to encounter an Upper Moon was Shinobu’s sister, the Flower Hashira.
The outcome goes without saying.
The Flame Hashira’s expression was solemn: “Rest assured, even if I die, I will not let you suffer any harm, Oyakata-sama.” “I don’t want any of you to die.
The dawn is right before us.
It would be a pity to die now.” Kagaya said.
“Let’s go.
It’s enough if we reach Mount Fujikasane before dark.
I have a feeling that Mount Fujikasane is the safest place.”
