Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The two of them were killed in a car accident.

Tokyo Prefecture, Ubuyashiki family, Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"Really? The descendants of the original swordsman? I see, I will send a swordsman there immediately." Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at the very special crow in front of him and said, "Please tell Mr. Gennosuke to negotiate with that family first and express the goodwill of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Mr. Gennosuke has already left for Nara Prefecture, I will pass on your words to him. Then, let me say goodbye, Master Yoya."

Bang~!

After that, the crow's body shattered like glass, as if it had never appeared.

Looking at the blazing sun hanging high outside the window, Yoya murmured, "Ryudoji Gennosuke, I didn't expect that the crows and swordsmen are both mysterious beings."

"Do you want to investigate? Master Yoya." His wife, Ubuyashiki Amane said.

Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head: "No, at least it is certain that he has no hostility towards us at present. If there is, it will never be like this. Since there is no hostility, we should not act rashly, so as not to force the other party to the opposite side. What's more... he is still a pillar now, I am willing to believe in my swordsman."

Ubuyashiki Amane said: "If it is the descendant of the original swordsman, then I will come forward!"

Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded: "Mr. Gennosuke said that I am afraid that Muzan will also get the news. I will let Gyomei and Mr. Makijuro accompany us."

. . . . . . .

At the same time, Shinya is here.

"Sama Shinya, why did you tell Muzan about this?" Ryu was a little confused about Shinya's behavior of telling Muzan about Tokito's family.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret from Muzan?

Since you want to help the Demon Slayer Corps find someone, why tell Muzan?

"The Tokito family has never come into contact with demons, and they don't even know the existence of demons. How can the Demon Slayer Corps persuade them if they go there rashly?" Shinya said: "Only by letting them know that there are creatures like evil demons that eat people in this world, will the words of Ubuyashiki be more credible."

Ryu was a little worried: "But, Muzan asked Akaza to go. If the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps can't beat him, then..."

Shinya smiled and said: "That's the meaning of my going there!"

"But the other party is Akaza. If you don't show up, can the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps compete with him?" Ryu still didn't believe in the combat power of the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this time, Sosuke flew from a distance and landed on Shinya's shoulder.

"How is it?" Shinya asked.

Sosuke said, "Ubuyashiki Yoya asked his wife to negotiate with Tokito's family. It seems that he sent Rock Pillar Gyoumei and Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro."

"Rock Pillar..." Ryu's mouth twitched, thinking of the not-so-good memories two years ago.

Shinya smiled and said, "You should be relieved now."

"Hehe, hehehe..." Ryu didn't know how to answer, but he felt a dull pain in his arms.

That wasn't cut off by a knife, it was torn off by the Rock Pillar.

Although the physique of a demon can recover from this injury immediately, it has brought a lot of psychological trauma to Ryu.

. . . . . . .

A few days later, Nara Prefecture, Tashima Village.

Tokito Yunxiong finished a day's work and dragged his tired body back home.

It was already dusk, and his wife had prepared dinner at home, and they were waiting for him to go home with their two children.

"Father, welcome back."

As soon as he arrived at the door, his youngest son Muichiro threw himself into his arms, and his eldest son Ichiro also came out to greet him.

"Father, there are guests at home." Ichiro said.

Tokito Yunxiong was a little confused. His family had lived in this small mountain village for generations. How could there be a guest suddenly?

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a beautiful silver-haired woman chatting with his wife.

Beside her, a very tall monk was reciting the Diamond Sutra with tears.

There was also a middle-aged warrior who looked like an owl and looked listless.

"Yunxiong!" When his wife saw Tokito Yunxiong coming back, she stood up and said, "This is Lord Ubuyashiki Amane."

Tokito Yunxiong bowed slightly: "Hello, Lord Amane."

Ubuyashiki Amane returned the greeting, and behind him, Gyoumei Hitoshima and Rengoku Makijuro also bowed in return.

......

"Um... Sorry, I really don't know anything about the original swordsman!" After hearing the origin of Ubuyashiki Tenon, Tokito Yunxiong was a little at a loss.

After all, in his understanding,

His family has been making a living here by cutting wood for generations.

Now someone suddenly told him that he was the descendant of the first breathing swordsman three hundred years ago, and hoped that his family would join an organization called the Demon Slayer Corps.

For a moment, Tokito Yunxiong was a little undecided.

It’s not that he was afraid of encountering a liar. His family was physically penniless, and the liar couldn’t get anything out of him.

He was just afraid that if he didn’t have the talents they said, wouldn’t he be cheating others.

He was such a person, and he would consider others first, not himself.

Ubuyashiki Amane also knew that such a big thing could not be decided immediately. So he decided to go down the mountain first, stay at the Wisteria Flower House temporarily, and come back tomorrow.

“You want to go, right?” The wife looked at Tokito Yunxiong and said.

Shi Touyunxiong looked at his wife and his twin children and said, "No, I don't have any talent, and I'm not qualified to help others. What I want now is for our family to live a good life."

The wife came up and took his hand: "This is not what you really said. I know you, you are a person who will do your best to help others. When you know that there are evil ghosts eating people in this world, perhaps your blood as a swordsman will begin to stir."

Shi Touyunxiong said helplessly: "You don't really believe what they said about the descendants of swordsmen? I don't know about this kind of thing myself, how can they know?"

"They have no reason to lie, right?" said his wife.

Shi Touyunxiong smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat first, I'm almost starving. Today's multi-grain rice is very fragrant."

For a family like him, the staple food on weekdays can only be such rough multi-grain rice, and white rice is what rich families eat.

The family finished dinner happily. Shi Touyunxiong took his two sons to watch the flying birds at the door for a while. After the sun completely set, it was time to go to bed.

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

This is the normal life of an ordinary family in an agricultural society.

Although the Meiji Restoration has been experienced, neither the achievements of industrialization nor the reform of the system seem to benefit the lowest level.

The biggest change is that the government's ability to squeeze taxes has improved rapidly.

Families like Shitou Yunxiong seem to have accepted the impact of new ideas and systems on the surface, but the final performance is actually just giving themselves a surname, and their daily lives have hardly changed.

Summer nights are very hot, and you will be woken up by the heat in the middle of the night.

Shitou Yunxiong woke up and looked at his sleeping wife and two sons with a relieved smile.

Although he lives in poverty, such a plain and peaceful life is enough for him.

"Huh?"

At some point, a man appeared at the door of the house.

The man looked at Shitou Yunxiong, and Yunxiong also looked at him.

After a few seconds, the man sighed helplessly: "I'm the worst at doing this kind of thing, but..."

He looked at Yunxiong and seemed a little reluctant: "Sorry."
