I, Uchiha Hikaru, join the chat group

At this moment.

Uchiha Yoshiichi Hikari, who was unaware of Muzan's movements, was wearing protective clothing and floating in the dark night in the form of a little light man, guiding several shadow clones to come from all directions around and gather the ghosts they had sealed together.

Except for Lei and "Dad", the other ghosts on Spider Mountain were not strong. It was effortless for these clones with one-fifth of her strength to deal with them.

After a simple inventory and confirming that the number of sealing scrolls and laser swords was not lost, Uchiha Hikari lifted the shadow clone technique.

On the other side.

Bulma, who had changed her clothes, walked out of the small room and was blowing her wet hair with a handheld hair dryer: "Huh... Taking a shower really makes me feel much fresher."

"Little Light, do you want to take a shower too? I can help you watch outside."

"...No, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Uchiha Hikari shook his head.

In fact, she really wanted to take a bath at this moment. After all, she had just fought with those two guys and sweated a little. At this time, her body was a little sticky and uncomfortable.

But the time and occasion were not suitable for doing these things.

It was still a while before dawn. If Muzan suddenly called a few upper strings to encircle her, she couldn't fight with them wrapped in a bath towel. Besides, facing those blood demon arts that were more weird than one, Bulma might not have the chance to warn her.

"Okay."

Bulma scratched her head, put the house away, and then took out a bunch of bread and drinks from another capsule and handed it over: "Then eat something first, we haven't eaten tonight."

"Thank you."

Uchiha Hikaru took the bread and ate it in small bites.

A cool breeze blew.

Neither of them spoke again, but just sat on this empty mountain flat, blowing the wind and eating quietly.

I don't know how long it took.

A faint glow suddenly emerged from the distant horizon.

Uchiha Hikaru saw the halo and didn't care, but Bulma jumped up all of a sudden, put her hands on the awning and looked into the distance: "It's the sun... It's going to rise!"

"Oh?"

Uchiha Hikaru raised his eyebrows and sat there without moving.

Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, they saw that little bit of rosy light gradually crossed the horizon, like a newly born tree bud, rising to a higher place. The orange light dyed the jungle, then crossed the mountain and spread across the land, and also reflected Uchiha Hikaru and Bulma's hair into a golden color.

"It's beautiful!"

Bulma couldn't help but say.

"Well... It's beautiful."

Uchiha Hikaru also squinted his eyes slightly, feeling the warmth brought by the sun, and suddenly understood why many people would go to the top of the mountain and blow the cold wind all night just to wait for a sunrise.

Such a scenery is indeed worth waiting for.

"... Let's go, Bulma."

When the sun was about to rise above the mountain, Uchiha Hikaru stood up: "It's about time to meet up with Tanjiro and the others."

...

When he returned to the foot of Spider Mountain again.

Uchiha Hikaru saw a large number of logistical personnel of the Demon Slayer Corps, carrying stretchers in and out, constantly bringing out the wounded on the mountain. In an open space not far away, Tanjiro and his three companions were tied up, and there was a girl with a ponytail wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform next to them to take care of them.

"Hmm..."

It seems that even in the changed plot, Tanjiro still couldn't escape the fate of being treated as a criminal, and this time it wasn't just him who was caught, but also Agatsuma Zenitsu and Inosuke were tied up. It seems that they may have protected Nezuko together with Tanjiro?

On the other side, Tanjiro obviously saw Uchiha Hikaru and Bulma, and subconsciously twisted and struggled, still shouting: "Ms. Hikaru, Ms. Bulma, Nezuko..."

Just as he started this sentence, the ponytail girl next to him swung a knife, making Tanjiro shut up directly, and his eyes rolled up, obviously knocked out directly.

Hmm... This is very Kurikaru Kanao.

After all, it is a conflict between the young couple, and it is also the internal affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps, so outsiders can't interfere.

Uchiha Hikaru grabbed Bulma who wanted to rush over to help, and his eyes swept around, and soon noticed the wooden box placed at the feet of the ponytail girl, and then his eyes fell on the two figures who were walking towards this side not far away.

Among them, the petite woman wearing a butterfly feather woven with a smile said: "Good morning, you two should be Miss Uchiha Hikari and Miss Bulma, right? I am the insect pillar Kocho Shinobu of the Demon Slayer Corps. I am here to invite you to meet and chat with me on the orders of the lord."

"Lord? Who is that?"

Bulma was a little confused: "You should be the Demon Slayer Corps mentioned by Xiaoguang, why did you arrest Tanjiro and others, did they do anything wrong?"

"...This incident is still under investigation. Before the results are found out, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Insect pillar Kocho Shinobu said with a smile.

Water pillar Tomioka Giyuu, wearing a two-color feather woven with a blank expression.

Uchiha Hikari sighed - these pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are all good people, they can ignore life and death and sacrifice themselves to save people in front of demons, but their personalities are weirder than each other. The two in front of them are even considered to be easier to talk to, but it is still a bit difficult to communicate.

"I am the person your lord is looking for."

Uchiha Hikaru said softly: "Tanjiro and the others are members of the Demon Slayer Corps. They violated the team rules and were punished. We have no right to interfere. However, the girl in the box is our friend. If you don't mind, please let us take care of her. How about it?"

"...I'm sorry, the girl in the box is also the one the lord wants to see. Before the lord makes a decision, I can't give her to you. And she is a demon. It will be very dangerous to contact her rashly."

Kohiko Shinobu still had a smiling face.

Uchiha Hikaru also smiled slightly: "I know she is a demon, but the order you received should not mention who will take her to see the lord? Since Bulma and I are also going there, it's the same if we give her to us, right?"

"Sorry..."

Kohiko Shinobu wanted to say something else, but her eyelids jumped and she saw Uchiha Hikaru's figure gradually disappearing from the spot.

At the same time.

Another Uchiha Hikaru had appeared seven or eight meters away, and picked up the wooden box containing Nezuko.

"?!"

Before Shinobu Kocho subconsciously reached for the hilt, Uchiha Hikaru had already returned to her with the box in his hand, gently pressed the back of her hand, and exhaled sweetly: "There shouldn't be any order to fight me in the order you received, Miss Kocho, and Mr. Tomioka?"

"...Okay."

After a brief stalemate, Shinobu Kocho glanced at Tomioka Giyuu who had let down his guard beside him, and chose to compromise: "If you insist, you can take the girl with you. But after we set off, please cooperate. Because the route to the lord's residence needs to be strictly confidential, please don't make it difficult for us."

...

The turmoil during the meeting was just a small episode.

On the morning of the third day after the Spider Mountain incident.

Uchiha Hikaru, Bulma, and Tanjiro were taken to the mansion of the Ubuyashiki clan by the members of the "Hidden".
