Demon Slayer Headquarters.

Except for the water pillar Tomioka Giyu who never replied to the letter and might have died outside (that's what the sound pillar said anyway), the other five pillars all came to the living room of the lord's house.

Now the Demon Slayer Corps is in its most difficult moment, with only six pillars in total.

They are rock pillars, water pillars, rock pillars, sound pillars, flower pillars, and ringing pillars.

Among them, Enzhu Purgatory Makijuro and Mingzhu, who does not deserve to have a name, are both "old people" who are close to forty years old. Their health has begun to decline, and they also have families. Especially Mingzhu, who has already had a family.

Intention of retreat.

Yanzhu Mingyu Xingming Ming, Sound Pillar Yusui Tianyuan are already adults, but their abilities have not yet reached their peak, and there is still room for improvement.

Kanae, the butterfly butterfly, and Giyuu Tomioka, Sui Hashira, were successively promoted to Hashira after the sudden death of their predecessor, Sui Hashira. However, their faces were so tender that it was hard to trust them.

But this group of people are all the core members of the Demon Slayer Corps, the mainstay.

It is conceivable that when Immortal Kawa Saneya saw this scene, his heart was really desolate.

The King of Ghosts is the strongest ghost in the world, but the leader of the Ghost Killing Team is powerless to restrain a chicken.

There are twelve ghost moons in total, and they can be replaced immediately if they die. But there are only six pillars that can kill the twelve ghost moons, and if one dies, one will be missing.

There are at least 2,000 demons in Japan, but the number of combat-effective members of the Demon Slayer Corps is only three to four hundred.

Under such a disparity in strength, this organization was able to persist for three to four hundred years.

Even Immortal River, who had long criticized his "lord", could not help but feel deep admiration for the man with the scar on his forehead in front of him, and his ancestors.

However, this was also thanks to the fact that Butterfly Kanae kept educating him about the physical condition and background information of his "lord" along the way, otherwise he would have made a big fuss long ago.

At this time, Ubuya Shiki Yōya, who was sitting by the stove, spoke gently: "Everyone should have thought carefully about the matter of Immortal Kawa Saniya becoming a pillar."

His voice was gentle and clear, and whoever listened to it felt as if a gentle hand was gently smoothing the wrinkles in their hearts.

Now the pillars are headed by Yanzhu Purgatory Makijuro, so all the pillars present looked at him. After all, he is the oldest, the most senior, and has the most say.

"The strength of Immortal Kawa Saneya has long been recognized by the rock pillar. I have nothing to say in this regard."

Purgatory Makijuro spoke very directly.

"But being a pillar is not just about killing powerful ghosts. With an impulsive and irritable character like his, it may be difficult to command the team members in charge of the area. Therefore, for his own safety, and for the sake of those team members,

For the sake of safety, I think we should investigate again.”

"I agree with Yan Zhu."

Next to him, Ming Zhu also took over, stroking his beard and said: "Looking at his previous experience, I'm afraid if he becomes a pillar, he will probably be like the new Shuizhu, who just takes care of everything by himself.

If you do it, you won't even be able to find the crow by then."

Immortal Sichuan frowned and was about to raise her voice to say something unpleasant when her left hand was held down by Hua Ji, who was sitting next to her.

He turned his head to look over with wide eyes, but immediately turned back hesitantly, his jaw stiffened and he allowed the pillars to continue talking.

He has never forgotten what Genichiro said to him——

It is necessary to have a good relationship with these pillars, so that as a "friend", you can ask them to help Butterfly Kanae after the new year to prevent things from developing like the old lady's prediction.

If he talks back at this time, the situation will be difficult to predict.

"Ah, speaking of the crow, I suddenly remembered the water column..."

Yinzhu Yusui Tianyuan casually played with the jewelry pendant in front of his forehead, looking at the vacant seat next to him with some sarcasm, "Isn't it because even the eagle crow thinks he is extremely boring, so he can't find the other person?

"

"He keeps saying 'I'm different from you', but he turns out to be a boring lone wolf! One of my three beautiful wives wrote him an invitation letter and asked him to come to my house, but he hasn't heard back yet.

None! Huh, if you let such a person become a ninja, they will be criticized for not being gorgeous enough!"

"Amitabha."

The bronze statue-like giant mourned Yu Xingming and "looked" at Yusui Tianyuan, with tears streaming down his face.

"Usui Tianyuan, please don't change the topic. Now the Lord is asking us to discuss the matter of Immortal Kawa Shimi and the matter of Shuizhu later."

The latter was stared at by those two pure white eyes, and he said an apology before talking about business.

"Now that the Demon Slayer's Pillar is like this, it's time to recruit new people to boost morale! In my opinion, let Immortal River become Pillar. His gorgeous scar is a symbol of a man who has no hesitation.

Ah! And no matter what, he can't be worse than that Tomioka Giyu!"

"Mr. Yusui, it's not good at all to say bad things about people behind their backs like this."

Butterfly Kanae smiled and criticized the sound pillar, and then said to Uyashiki Yoshiya: "My lord, I am afraid that no one knows Mr. Fusugawa's past deeds better than you, so I won't go into details. As for the sound pillar,

The character problem mentioned is not a reason not to let him become a pillar. Rather than saying that he has a violent personality, it is more that his determination to protect humans from ghosts is too firm, even to the point of harshness. Let the team members follow this

Zhu, they may feel uncomfortable at first, but they will soon see clearly what he is like."

After she finished speaking, Immortal River next to her felt a little embarrassed.

Yanzhu lamented and Yu Xingming tilted his head this way thoughtfully, then clasped his hands and said: "My lord, like Huazhu, I am willing to vouch for Immortal Kawa Shimi. I know his affairs well, and his character

Being irritable is just the way he shows it. It can confuse some team members, and it can also confuse ghosts. As for commanding the team members, even if he can't do it well at the beginning, I am willing to share some manpower for him."

Ubuya Shiki Yaoya nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a crow flew in from outside.

"It's the crow of the water column."

He recognized the person at a glance, but he didn't know how.

Ubuyashiki stretched out a hand to tell the bird to come down, took a paper roll from its leg, and slowly unfolded it.

Soon, Uyashiki Yoshiya started laughing.

"The flying crow has brought us good news. After Immortal Kawa Saneya killed the fourth of the lower strings, the water column has just solved the sixth of the lower strings."

"Hey, it's just the end of the string. It's been delayed for so long. There's nothing gorgeous about it."

Yusui Tianyuan raised his head arrogantly, "Forget it, let's forgive him for not coming to the meeting this time. After all, everything happened for a reason."

"Congratulations, lord."

The one who said this was naturally Wei Ming Yu Xing Ming, "Within one month, two Xixian ghosts were killed one after another. It's gratifying and congratulatory."

As for Yanzhu and Mingzhu, they also smiled, "They are really good juniors."

they praised.

"It's great that Shui Zhu is okay."

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded, "He said in the letter that he was taking an injured child to Butterfly House for treatment, which delayed the Hashira meeting. However, he did not forget to express his position."

After re-rolling the paper, Uyashiki Yōya looked towards the Immortal River.

"If you include water pillars, four of the six pillars agree that you will become a pillar."

He announced happily, "Then from today on, Immortal Kawa Saneya, you will be the Fengzhu of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Although he had expected it, Immortal Kawa Saneya still felt the blood in his body suddenly flow with surging force.

It seems that he does not care as much about the title Zhu as he thought.

For a moment, Immortal River froze in place, not knowing what to do. It was not until Butterfly Kanae reminded him that Immortal River bent down and saluted.

As for his promotion speech, he was completely unprepared.

"Crack!"

Yusui Tianyuan suddenly stood up and walked over, slapped Immortal River on the back, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you so restrained? Come out with the courage that belongs to Zhu! If nothing else, when it comes to killing ghosts, you

We can’t lose to that water column.”

"Okay Tianyuan."

Ubuyashiki Yōya said to him, "The Hashira meeting has not ended yet, we still have one more thing to discuss."

Speaking of this, his expression rarely became serious.

"You must have heard about what happened in Shinkamiquan Village in Kumamoto Prefecture this time."

Ubuyashiki Yōya paused, "Including several surrounding hot spring villages, a total of more than forty people have disappeared in the past two years. According to Hanashira's investigation and the evidence collected by the police, at least half of them were victims.

All of them were framed to death by the kid named Yamasuke and his brother who became a ghost."

When he said this, his voice was a little sad, "Unfortunately, among the current victims, there are ten brave demon slayers."

As soon as these words came out, the place was as silent as a pin drop.

As the person involved, the Immortal Mikawa Saneya's eyes were red and his arms couldn't help but tremble.

"Now, because the local police station does not know how to solve this case, the child named Yamasuke and his parents have been taken to the Demon Slayer Headquarters."

"So, the second thing in this meeting is to discuss with you how to deal with this child's problem."

For the next half hour, the hidden tribes who were standing guard outside could only hear a complete commotion in the lord's living room.

Among them, Huazhu and Yanzhu both believe that children who do not distinguish between right and wrong should be open-minded.

The Demon Slayer Squad is only responsible for killing ghosts and has no right to punish humans. When he grows up and understands the truth, he will naturally regret it.

However, Mingzhu and Yanzhu Mingyu Xingming believed that this child should be given a strict education and let him join the Demon Slayer Squad.
