“They have such a good relationship, those two,” Kamado Aoi said with a gentle smile, carrying food over and looking at the two in the distance.
“It’s good to be young. It’s just Ryo seems a bit…”, Tanjuro’s transparent observation, with great wisdom, allowed him to guess the two people’s thoughts with remarkable accuracy.
Miss Fujiwara naturally had a good impression, perhaps not yet love, but it was a beautiful beginning.
As for Ryo, this kid, it could only be said that he wasn’t an honest child like his Tanjuro.
However, Tanjuro wasn’t one to gossip, so he ultimately swallowed his words.
After lunch, Ryo had a small branch in his hand.
The teaching session with Secretary Fujiwara resumed.
Looking at Secretary Fujiwara’s slightly flushed face, she still needed to work hard to maintain the standard of her movements.
For a moment, Ryo actually felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
He felt a little evil.
But there was no other way.
As a Transmigrator with no background or connections, he naturally had to cling tightly to the local rich lady.
His moral bottom line could be lowered even further.
Moreover, Ryo also quite enjoyed interacting with these anime characters; after all, they were once his ‘paper wives’.
To achieve cultivation quickly and go to more anime worlds, he could only let Secretary Fujiwara suffer a bit first.
Let him bear the infamy.
What Ryo didn’t know was that Secretary Fujiwara’s heart was just as conflicted as his.
She felt very embarrassed, yet there was a strange sense of excitement within her.
“Ah, Kaguya (student),” Secretary Fujiwara whimpered in her heart, but her body was honest even if her mouth wasn’t, perfecting the Hinokami Kagura under Ryo’s branch-whip.
The Kasugai Crow’s speed was slower than Ryo had imagined.
It wasn’t until close to evening, after Ryo and Secretary Fujiwara had finished their dance-teaching mini-game, that a Kasugai Crow from the Demon Slayer Corps finally arrived.
“Caw, caw,” the Kasugai Crow called out in the air, then spoke like a human.
“Sakonji Urokodaki.”
“Sakonji Urokodaki.”
“The Master orders you to take Miss Fujiwara and the Tanjuro family to the Pillar Meeting. He will be waiting for you there.”
The Kasugai Crow called out in the air.
Sakonji Urokodaki nodded at the Kasugai Crow.
This Kasugai Crow was extremely intelligent; it understood Sakonji Urokodaki’s response and then flew away.
“Let’s set off tomorrow,” Sakonji Urokodaki said to Tanjuro and Ryo after glancing at the sky.
If it were just Ryo and a few others, they could naturally travel at night as they pleased.
They had already traveled for a full day yesterday to Mount Sagiri, and another high-intensity journey would likely be too much for them.
Ryo and Tanjuro naturally had no objections.
Early the next morning, Ryo and the others had already begun their journey.
This time, the speed was much faster than last time.
Because this time, they didn’t bring as much miscellaneous household property as before.
Sakonji Urokodaki had made it very clear.
Money and goods would be arranged for them once they arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps.
Ubuyashiki Clan was quite capable in this regard.
The biggest reason the Demon Slayer Corps had been able to exist for so many years was because the Ubuyashiki Family was genuinely very wealthy.
Basically all the temples in this country belonged to Ubuyashiki Clan’s property.
They themselves were great nobles from a thousand years ago, and their lineage continued to the present day.
Even though Ubuyashiki Clan was short-lived, it never declined.
Precisely because they were wealthy, they invested a large amount of funds to unite the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
The logistics of the Demon Slayer Corps were basically spread throughout the country; although it was a civilian organization, its influence in secret was actually quite large.
If they were truly penniless paupers, Ubuyashiki Clan would have long since been wiped out by this strange illness.
So Ryo couldn’t help but lament in his heart once again.
If he had Transmigrated to be the young master of a wealthy family in a High Martial World at the start, he wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation now.
Not to mention becoming Homelander, he would at least be a Happy Superman.
Resources, plus a cheat, would allow him to take off easily.
Then he would madly build a harem in various anime worlds.
Unlike now, he couldn’t even be considered a Careful Superman.
Sakonji Urokodaki led Ryo and the others to a town.
The technological level of this world during this period was not very developed, but trains had already appeared.
With trains and carriages, by evening, Ryo and the others had arrived in front of a large mansion.
This Japanese-style mansion was where Ubuyashiki resided.
It was also where the Demon Slayer Corps held the Pillar Meeting.
“So it’s here,” Fujiwara Chika said, realizing, as she looked at the Japanese-style mansion in front of her.
“This is where the dimensional passage connecting this world and our world is located, you know. Ryo, you didn’t know, did you?” Secretary Fujiwara whispered into Ryo’s ear, her tone a little boastful.
She had followed her grandfather here before, to have a specialized Pillar teach her a suitable Breathing Technique.
But she really didn’t like martial arts training.
“The dimensional passage connecting the Demon Slayer World and the High Martial World.” Ryo was startled.
This news, coming from Young Miss Fujiwara, had a very high credibility.
“Kagaya Ubuyashiki is indeed a man of courage,” Ryo suddenly thought with emotion.
He wasn’t sure if this mansion existed when the dimensional passage appeared.
But he was clear that Ubuyashiki was still working here after the dimensional passage appeared.
That was very significant.
Firstly, it was certainly to guard the passage, preventing people from the High Martial World from entering and exiting this world at will.
This was indeed effective; the Fujiwara Family also needed to go through the Demon Slayer Corps to find people.
Although Ryo didn’t know why the High Martial World had not invaded this world, which wasn’t particularly high in combat power.
Secondly, it was for Muzan.
If one day Muzan was attracted by Ubuyashiki, even if he killed Ubuyashiki, Muzan would still enter the High Martial World’s line of sight.
At that time, Muzan’s fate would definitely be quite tragic.
Using himself as bait, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was indeed that level of ruthless person.
In the original work, he did exactly that.
He lured Muzan by sacrificing his own life, and the lives of his wife and daughters.
He fired the first shot of the Infinity Castle Battle with high-explosive bombs.
“Fate,” Ryo increasingly felt the traces of fate in the Demon Slayer World.
Or rather, it was as if there truly was a god secretly watching this world.
Ubuyashiki Clan was cursed.
But for a thousand years, tormented by a strange illness and with each generation being short-lived, their lineage never broke.
Basically, every major event saw the emergence of a wise family head who led Ubuyashiki Clan out of their predicament.
Hundreds of years ago, when Kokushibo betrayed them, it nearly wiped out the Demon Slayer Corps.
A child took over as family head and managed to suppress the Demon Slayer Corps’ objections, allowing Yoriichi to leave.
This time, too, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was indeed a wise family head.
In the original work, it was also under his leadership that this generation of the Demon Slayer Corps completely annihilated Muzan.
Ending a nearly thousand-year-old destiny.
