Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The weather was very hot, but the weather was very hot.

Rengoku House

Rengoku Kyojuro sat in the corridor, looking at the setting sun in a trance.

He didn't drink or lose his temper during the days since he came back.

When he was recovering from his injuries, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Father, it's time to change the medicine." Rengoku Kyojuro came into the house with the medicine.

Kyojuro didn't respond, so he could only wait by the side.

"Kyojuro!"

"Here, father!" Kyojuro looked at Kyojuro.

Makijuro turned around and looked at his eldest son, sighing: "You secretly took the fragments of the Breath of Flame and practiced in the mountains, right?"

"Yes!" Kyojuro had no intention of lying to his father. Since his father became depressed, he did steal the fragments of the Breath of Flame from home to practice.

He had never gotten the hang of it before, but after getting the guidance of Shinya, he began to make progress again.

But the fragments are still fragments, and there is still a lot of gap anyway.

"Go to the yard and show me your swordsmanship." Makijuro said.

Kyojuro was stunned by these words, and then he was delighted.

It seemed that his father was going to teach him swordsmanship and breathing again, and everything seemed to be back to the best time before.

Makijuro touched his chest, and the feeling of his vitality fading away rapidly after he was suppressed when he performed the Nine Forms was vividly remembered.

He thought he was dying, and it was indeed the case.

But why did he come back to life?

But none of this mattered. At the critical moment of life and death, he finally realized how ridiculous his depression over the past six months had been.

Fortunately, he could no longer serve as a pillar, so he would use the rest of his life's energy to train his son.

This eldest son who was more passionate, more proud, and more like his ancestor Kaedejuro than himself.

. . . . . . .

As the night slowly fell, Uzui Fuuji walked out of the house and left the yard.

That day, before the sun came out, Uzui Tengen dragged his severely injured body to pull out the ice blades that were nailed to his limbs and chest, and then dragged him into the house to avoid the sun.

Then, with everyone's consent, he was brought back to the base of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Of course, it was just a base in Tokyo, and with Uzui Fuuji's identity as a demon, it was absolutely impossible to bring him to the headquarters.

Uzui Fuuji waited until night and prepared to leave.

When he walked outside the yard, he saw Uzui Tengen standing under the tree.

"What? Are you planning to leave without saying goodbye? I'm your brother after all, and I saved your life, so you should show some respect." Uzui Tengen spread his hands and said.

Uzui Fuuji walked past Uzui Tengen with a blank expression.

"Where are you going next?" Uzui Tengen asked.

Uzui Fuuji: "Go back."

Uzui Tengen was shocked: "You're still planning to go back? Do you think he will let you go?"

Uzui Fuuji sighed: "Brother, you really... know nothing about anything! Whether it's that adult, Muzan Kibutsuji, or the cognition of demons. Whether it's you or the people of the Demon Slayer Corps, you know nothing about us."

Uzui Tengen frowned: "What do you mean?"

Uzui Fuuji said: "You should be able to feel that we are different from those irrational beasts created by Muzan Kibutsuji. We are not Need to eat people. Although it can't appear in the daytime, it's just a mistake on the road of evolution. As long as it is corrected, it can get back on track. "

"Hey wait!" Uzui Tengen suddenly realized something: "That guy named Shinya, isn't he Upper String Two?"

Uzui Fuuji looked at his brother, smiled and said: "Shinya's full name is Ryudoji Shinya. You can ask the guy named Gennosuke for the rest, he should know. After all, he is the descendant of Ryudoji Hyoemon."

As he spoke, Uzui Fuuji's shadow began to lengthen and flicker.

"Goodbye, brother. If we meet next time, if it's an enemy, I won't show mercy like I did that day. Oh, by the way, Shinya-sama gave you a big gift, you should know it in a few days." Uzui Fuuji said, his body slowly sank into the shadow.

"Ryudoji Shinya...Ryudoji Gennosuke..."

Uzui Tengen pondered for a while, and then returned to the house to write a letter.

Then he asked the crow to fly back to the headquarters with the letter.

A few days later, a big news that shocked the whole country attracted everyone's attention.

Your Majesty

After the death of Emperor Taisho, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and changed the era name to Taisho.

Although the royal family claimed that it was an attack of uremia, many people could smell something wrong.

Especially Ubuyashiki Yoya, who died just after the battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Upper Rank Two.

And after the new emperor ascended the throne, he immediately corrected the "elegant politics" of the previous dynasty.

Some restrictions imposed by the government on the Demon Slayer Corps were relaxed a lot in the new dynasty.

Although the Demon Slayer Corps was not officially recognized as an official organization, the government issued a knife-carrying license to the Demon Slayer Corps.

As long as they are swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, they can legally carry a knife with this certificate when they are on a mission.

Of course, the only thing they claimed was to promote martial virtues and restore the thought of Bushido, so they issued knife-carrying licenses.

But in practice, only the swordsmen and hunters of the Demon Slayer Corps have knife-carrying licenses.

In short, the ascension of the new emperor is a good thing for the Demon Slayer Corps.

At the same time, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the control of speech was relaxed.

Then, in just half a month, the followers of the Eternal Paradise Cult frantically promoted anti-war ideas all over the country.

For a time, the domestic anti-war trend was overwhelming.

And the scum boss in the capital was staying at home to investigate the blue spider lily.

What happened outside...

Sorry, not interested.

What? His Majesty passed away? The new emperor ascended the throne?

What anti-war? What knife license?

I don't know, I haven't heard of it, it's boring.

I can only say that if the scum boss cares about the outside world a little, he can find that this matter is inseparable from Shinye.

But now the scum boss's trust in Shinye has reached a new height. Even if he knows what the Paradise Cult believers are doing, he will selectively ignore it.

You ask why?

Killing two pillars, plus more than fifty swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, is this record enough?

Then compare it with Akaza. This kid is loyal and capable.

But compared to Shinya, I always feel that something is missing.

It seems that I don't encourage him enough in normal times. I need to encourage him more in the future.

"A-choo~!" Akaza, who was practicing martial arts in the Soryu Dojo, suddenly sneezed.

"Huh? Can ghosts catch a cold?"

. . . . . . .

In Hokkaido, three figures walked through the snowy mountains.

"Really, is the residence of the pillar that Brother Gennosuke said really in this place?" Santo said helplessly.

"Santo, don't complain, Giyu and I came with you, and we didn't complain." Shinko said unhappily: "Look at Giyu, did he say a word from beginning to end."

Giyu even trembled and opened his mouth.

Santo was shocked: "You can't speak! Giyu, Giyu, are you okay!"

Not far behind the three people, a pot emerged from the snow...
