Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Butterfly House.

Beside the white bed, Fushigawa Shimizu sat like a puppet, his bloodshot eyes staring at the figure with closed eyes on the bed.

"Kuangjin's injury is very serious, but fortunately Shinichi arrived in time, at least his life was saved in time, but... he lost an arm, I'm afraid Kuangjin will..."

The regretful voice of Butterfly Kanae kept echoing in Shimizu's mind. When he thought that his best friend would never be able to hold a knife again, a crisp sound of joint friction sounded, and Shimizu clenched his fists.

It was at this time that a member of the Hidden Corps found Shimizu in the Butterfly House.

"Mr. Fushigawa Shimizu? The lord has summoned you at the mansion, please follow me!" The Hidden Corps member said respectfully, and Shimizu's deeds of killing the Lower String One had spread among the Demon Slayer Corps.

This time, the Lord should announce the appointment of Shimizu as a Pillar. Speaking of which, the Demon Slayer Corps has finally shown signs of recovery in the past two years. First, there was the Mori Pillar, then the Water Pillar and the Flower Pillar. Now, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be another Pillar. With so many powerful Pillar-level swordsmen, it really makes people feel at ease.

While the members of the Hidden Corps were still sighing inwardly, Shimizu stood up with veins on his forehead. Looking at his close friend who was still in a coma, an unknown anger instantly surged in his heart.

In the Lord's mansion.

The members of the Hidden Corps may have guessed wrong. Today, the Lord will indeed announce new Pillars, but not one, but two.

On the open space paved with white stones, Santo, wearing a checkered feather weave, pulled Tomioka Giyuu, who looked a little embarrassed, to Shinichi.

"Mr. Shinichi, I want to apologize to you with Yiyong. He has always misunderstood you and often challenged you, causing you a lot of trouble. I am really sorry." Santu said sincerely, bowing to Shinichi.

Although Yiyong was a little embarrassed when he was pulled by Santu, he felt guilty when he thought of everything that happened before, so he bowed and apologized with Santu, "I'm sorry."

However, over the years, Yiyong seemed to have gotten used to the cold attitude. For a while, the cold tone did not change, and he still looked emotionless.

Shinichi didn't take their apologies to heart. On the contrary, he didn't care about being misunderstood by others. He said to Santo: "Have you thought about it? Giyuu told the lord before that you are the most suitable person for the title of Water Pillar. Are you sure you don't want to accept the title of Water Pillar?"

Santo smiled and shook his head, "No, Giyuu is more suitable for the title of Water Pillar than me. During this period, under your arrangement, Mr. Shinichi, I have seen a lot. You were right at the beginning. The Demon Slayer Corps is not a place for heroism.

Many times, even a pillar-level swordsman should work hard with the team members. It is not advisable to protect or be protected blindly. Thank you very much for letting me understand this. My water breathing is too empty and not as good as Giyuu's water breathing."

Shinichi nodded, and seemed to understand Santo. In fact, the title of the pillar has special meanings like Shinichi's Forest Pillar. Most of the time, the title of the pillar is related to the breathing method practiced by oneself.

However, like today, it is the first time in history that two users of water breathing appear in the pillar at the same time.

That's right, today, it's not just Fuzuigawa Shima who will be promoted to the Pillar, there's also Sato who killed fifty demons.

However, Tomioka Giyuu is already the Water Pillar, which is a bit difficult. Do we have to set up two Water Pillars?

Before this, Giyuu had met the Lord alone and proposed to give the title of Water Pillar to Sato. The Lord did not agree, but met Sato alone. It's unknown what the two talked about afterwards.

"Namo Amitabha, it's really gratifying to see the Pillar team expanding and thriving." Rock Pillar Beimingyu Gyomei said with emotion.

The Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen on the side was looking at Sane and Giyuu not far away with a critical eye, "I remember that those not-so-gorgeous swordsmen were in the same class as him. Are the newly promoted pillars really reliable?"

The beautiful flower pillar Kanae smiled gently and said to Uzui Tengen: "Mr. Giyuu is very strong. As his senior brother, Mr. Sane must be very strong. And Shimi, although he sometimes has a bad temper, he is also a very trustworthy swordsman."

Unlike the other pillars who were talking here, the tall figure on the side was sitting alone on a huge rock. His yellow-red hair was a little messy, and the beard on his chin looked like it hadn't been taken care of for many days. When you get close to him, you can smell a strong smell of alcohol.

The Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro, sinceSince his wife's death, his condition has been getting worse and worse. It is said that he drinks a lot of alcohol every day to numb himself. When Shinichi and other pillars want to talk to him, they will be impatiently dealt with by Makijuro.

The once cheerful and enthusiastic Flame Pillar senior seems to have disappeared.

Let's not talk about this. After a while, under the leadership of the hidden troops, Fuzugawa Shimizu came to the lord's residence with a gloomy face.

"Ala, Shimizu-kun, are you finally here? Everyone is waiting for you. You must work harder in the future after becoming a pillar." Kanae took the initiative to smile and greet Shimizu.

However, Shimizu did not answer, but walked to the side with a gloomy face, found a stone and sat down.

The other pillars were reminded by Kanae, and they also looked at the pillar who was about to be promoted.

"It seems that there is some indignation in his heart. I don't know what he has experienced." This is the first impression of Rock Pillar Beimingyu Xingming on Shimizu.

"Looks dangerous." This was the first impression of Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen on Shimizu.

"Has he not let go of Kuang Jin's injury?" Shinichi thought to himself as he looked at Shimizu.

"He killed the teammate of the Lower Moon One? He is really an admirable person. I want to learn from him." Sato looked at Shimizu with respect.

"......" This is Giyuu, he didn't notice the newly appeared Shimizu at all.

As for Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro, he, like Giyuu, didn't pay attention to Shimizu at all.

It was at this time that two crisp children's voices attracted the attention of many pillars present.

"The lord has arrived."

As the wooden door was gently pushed open, Lord Yoya slowly walked under the eaves with the support of Ubuyashiki Hinai and Ubuyashiki Hikaru.

The purple scar had spread to Lord Yoya's left eye, making one of his originally gentle purple eyes dim forever.

"Has the curse become stronger?" Shinichi felt heavy in his heart. It had only been a short time, and it had reached such a level.

"Lord!" All the pillars knelt down on one knee and saluted the Lord.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I am glad to meet you again in such a beautiful weather." The Lord said gently.
