Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters. Now demons are rampant across the country. Demons frequently injure people at night. The Demon Slayer Corps is getting busier. One day ago, the wind pillar Shiya and the flower pillar Kanae, who were originally staying at the headquarters, were also urgently sent to the area to perform support tasks.

Except for the members of the hidden department, there are basically no swordsmen wearing the Nichirin sword in the entire headquarters.

Shinichi and Shinobu Kocho returned to the headquarters together. They were greeted by Shinichi's old acquaintances. Goto, with his arms folded and a little emotional, watched Shinichi return to the headquarters.

But...

"Enji, you! Have you mutated?" Shinichi's eyes widened, looking at the "semi-trailer" in front of him in disbelief.

"Ah! Ah!" Enji ignored the surprised look of his master. After two excited howls, Enji jumped on Shinichi.

Feeling the heavy weight of Enji, Shinichi was really speechless. He could only look at Goto with a puzzled and reproachful look.

However, Goto was wearing a striped mask from the Anbu, and his expression underneath the mask could not be seen at all. However, he took two steps back slightly, which showed that Goto was a little guilty.

After playing with Enji for a long time, Shinichi reluctantly said goodbye to Goto and Shinobu Kocho.

Goto still needed to return to the Anbu to continue to perform various logistical tasks, and Shinobu Kocho had to hurry back to the medicine house because her sister, Kanae Hanashiri, was out on a mission, so she had to temporarily take charge of the Butterfly House.

Like any department, the Butterfly House also needed its own backbone.

That is, Shinichi always felt that Shinobu looked at him a little strangely before she left. Well, how should I put it? It's hard to describe. If I have to say it, it feels a little bit like drawing.

But now is not the time to think about this. The lord is waiting for him. Thinking of the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan, Shinichi immediately rushed to the location of the Ubuyashiki mansion.

When Shinichi arrived at the Ubuyashiki residence, he saw several little kids who looked almost identical playing with a red ball in the yard at the door. Their similar clothes, different hair colors and accessories indicated the identities of each kid.

In addition to Ubuyashiki Hinai and Ubuyashiki Hikaru, who Shinichi was familiar with, the other three were their sisters and brothers. The one with purple flowers tied in her hair was Ubuyashiki Honna, the one with a red belt around her waist was Ubuyashiki Kanata, and the one with obvious black hair next to her was interesting.

He looked like his sisters with the same cute face and outfit, but he was indeed a boy, Ubuyashiki Teriya, the only son of Lord Ubuyashiki Yoya, and the only two male descendants of the Ubuyashiki clan.

These children of the Ubuyashiki family rarely had the opportunity to play so relaxedly, and Shinichi didn't want to disturb the children's happy time, so he quietly bypassed the yard and went straight to the backyard.

In the backyard, the lord Ubuyashiki Yoya, who was wearing a loose and simple dress, had been waiting here early.

A breeze blew across the face of the lord Yoya, and he showed a gentle smile. Although his eyes, which were eroded by the curse, could only see some vague light and shadow, this did not prevent the lord from sensing the appearance of Shinichi.

"Welcome back, Shinichi."

There were no sensational remarks or exaggerated praises, just an ordinary gentle welcome, but this made Shinichi's heart sour. For a moment, he didn't know how to start his words, and finally he could only whisper: "My lord, I'm back."

Then, Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to start telling everything he had experienced during this period, including the story of the birth of the ancestor of demons, Muzan, and the story of his younger brother, Shoku, who might be the second demon in the world, and the help Shoku and Wugui had given him during this period.

This is nothing. Shinichi probably knows that Shoku and Takeki won't mind exposing their identities in front of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even when Shinichi came into contact with the two, he could vaguely sense that they seemed to be interested in cooperating with the Demon Slayer Corps. After all, compared to Muzan, their strength is probably not enough.

In addition, Shinichi's trust in his lord Ubuyashiki Yoya, who is definitely a great and selfless lord, but not rigid, otherwise, Yoya would not have kept Shinichi's identity secret for so long and chose to trust Shinichi unconditionally.

Under such a lot of cause and effect, Shinichi was relieved to tell his lord about his experience.

As expected, after listening to these stories, the expression on the lord's face was surprised, but it was also the same as what Shinichi imagined, revealing a thoughtful look. Obviously, the lord was thinking whether Shoku and Takeki were really willing to cooperate with him.We are working with the Demon Slayer Corps. If we do, how will we proceed?

"Breathing of the Forest·Nine Type·Endless Life!" Although he has lost his Nichirin Sword, Shinichi can still perform a lot of auxiliary breathing techniques of the forest simply by relying on his physical strength.

With Shinichi's control and guidance, countless powerful vitality quickly poured into the lord's body, and the almost visible green light seemed to flow faintly under the lord's skin.

For a moment, the lord Ubuyashiki Yoya felt his body lighten, and the subconscious comfort made him murmur softly. In an instant, the pain all over his body seemed to disappear, and even the purple scar festering on his forehead had a slight tendency to improve.

However, the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan would naturally not be lifted by Shinichi's enhanced version of the Nine Type·Endless Life, but it would finally allow the lord to relax for a while.

After a long time, Lord Ubuyashiki Yoya felt that the originally blurry scene in front of him suddenly became much clearer. He immediately understood what happened and bowed slightly to Shinichi solemnly and said: "Thank you, Shinichi, I'm so sorry that I always make you and other swordsmen worry about me."

"This is what I should do, Lord."

Just as the two were still chatting, suddenly, Lord Tianyin, who had packed his luggage and clothes to go out for a long journey, walked into the room to say goodbye to the Lord.

"Lord Morihashi is here too? Welcome back!" Tianyin bowed deeply in a standard way.

"Lord Tianyin!" Shinichi also hurriedly returned the greeting seriously.

"Speaking of which, Lord Tianyin is in such a hurry. Is he going somewhere? Going far away?" Shinichi asked curiously, because he had some impression that Lord Tianyin didn't seem to know breathing methods or fighting skills, right?

"Yes, my goal this time is to invite two young children in Ishikawa Prefecture to join our Demon Slayer Corps."

"Those two children are descendants of the swordsmen of the Initial Breathing Method. It is also the negligence of our Demon Slayer Corps that disappointed those swordsmen who once fought bloody battles with evil spirits." Lord Yaoya added at the right time.

"Descendants of the Initial Breathing Method?" Shinichi frowned. He seemed to have heard of this term somewhere, so he continued to ask: "What are the names of the brothers?"

"The elder brother is Tokito Ichiro, and the younger brother is Tokito Muichiro."

(I will definitely add more before the end of National Day! Definitely! Definitely! Believe me!)
