Yashiki Kagaya blinked.
Something's not right!
In his previous state, he even recalled his sword training days, and the strongest fighting conviction ignited within him.
Applied to the children of the Demon Slayer Corps, there are clear records that this is a sign of successive Pillars awakening their marks.
Had he, of all people, been killed by a monster labeled as the weakest?
He felt inexplicably embarrassed.
As the Master, he had truly shamed the Demon Slayer Corps.
Yashiki Kagaya nervously glanced around.
He found that the surrounding environment was no different from when he left, except for a thin layer of wisteria flowers accumulated on the ground.
"Father!"
His son, with a talisman stuck to his forehead, rushed over the moment he appeared.
Even with full explanations,
Yashiki Kagaya was still the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, and not just a Master in name only, or one who was not respected.
Despite being tormented by illness, he still relied on his personal charisma to make all members of the Demon Slayer Corps willingly loyal to him.
Sudden disappearance or death
would definitely cause chaos and panic among the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"I'm fine."
Yashiki Kagaya's voice was gentle as he softly embraced his son.
He looked at the talisman on his son's forehead with heartache.
This was the Ubuyashiki Family's curse, a curse placed upon them by the world because they shared the same bloodline as the Demon King.
After his death, his beloved son would also have to bear this curse.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Father!"
He almost threw himself into his father's arms.
Due to his emotional excitement, he hadn't considered his father's weak body, which might cause his father greater pain.
"It's alright, Rikai."
Yashiki Kagaya turned his head.
He found that during the time he was in the Reincarnation Game, some Pillars had already arrived.
Rikai must have notified them.
"Kyojuro Rengoku, Butterfly Shinobu, Tengen, Sanemi."
Looking at the strongest swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps kneeling before him, Yashiki Kagaya called out their names one by one.
"Master, don't look at me, I was just at the Butterfly Mansion developing poison, so I was very close."
Butterfly Shinobu waved her hands repeatedly, smiling, "It was Mr. Sanemi, who was originally on a mission far away, but unexpectedly rushed back."
"Nonsense, that demon has already been killed by me!"
Sanemi, whose actions were exposed, became enraged and yelled loudly.
However, his sweating and panting appearance showed that Butterfly Shinobu was not lying.
"Excellent, that's how you should worry about the Master!"
Kyojuro Rengoku, with his striking hair color, like a small sun, suddenly spoke loudly.
Sanemi was startled and angrily said, "Flame Pillar, your voice is too loud!"
"My apologies!"
Still a loud response.
Yashiki Kagaya looked at everyone's invigorated appearance, and his mood also brightened. He waved his hand and said, "I'm very happy you could come."
"And, I have good news to announce to you."
"Because it happened so suddenly, I couldn't wait for the Pillar Meeting, or even an emergency meeting."
As he said this,
Yashiki Kagaya was suppressing his excited emotions, even trying hard to stop his coughing.
The impatient Wind Pillar, Sanemi, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Master, have you perhaps found traces of the Demon King?"
Seeing the Master so excited,
this news might be related to their greatest enemy, the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.
The others also showed surprised expressions.
Had the Demon King truly exposed his whereabouts?
This individual, who constantly created man-eating demons in the darkness, had been active in various prosperous towns for hundreds of years, yet the Demon Slayer Corps had always been unable to grasp his whereabouts.
Perhaps only this matter could make the Master so excited.
Who knew,
Yashiki Kagaya shook his head and said, "I haven't found any trace of the Demon King, and with our current strength, we shouldn't be able to fight the Demon King."
A hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the opponent was the first demon who had lived for a thousand years, the ruler of countless demons, and his strength had reached a terrifying level.
And the current Demon Slayer Corps struggled to even fight the Upper Ranks.
He looked at the confused Pillars and said directly, "I have received a gift from a god."
Silence.
Even the Flame Pillar, Kyojuro Rengoku, who usually loved to interject, didn't react, looking utterly bewildered.
Butterfly Shinobu and Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui suspected they had misheard.
Only Sanemi, who trusted the Master immensely, said excitedly, "As expected of the Master, to have a god bestow a gift!"
It was truly hard to imagine,
that the usually steady Master would say such a thing.
"Master, are there really gods in this world?"
Butterfly Shinobu looked worriedly at the excited Master.
Although she respected the Master greatly, she was worried that the Master might be deceived by some strange methods.
In this era,
when steam engines and other technological products were flourishing, many charlatans appeared, using various strange items to deceive people.
These swordsmen, who often traveled through various towns to eliminate demons, knew this clearly,
but the frail Master, who always stayed in his residence, might easily be deceived.
Not just Butterfly Shinobu,
Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku and Sound Pillar also had the same reaction.
After all, the matter of a god's gift… was truly hard to accept.
Even if it came from the Master's mouth.
Yashiki Kagaya's gaze was gentle and calm; he didn't blame their skepticism, but smiled and said, "I don't blame you. When I first received that invitation, I also didn't believe such a thing could happen."
He raised his arm.
Clang.
He reached into the air and then an iron sword fell to the ground.
"It appeared!"
The loud-voiced Flame Pillar widened his eyes, looking at the iron sword that had suddenly dropped to the ground.
Tengen Uzui, adorned with jewels and with a flamboyant style, also looked at the iron sword on the ground in surprise.
"No sound?"
He could master the Breath of Sound precisely because he had extremely keen hearing.
Even the slightest sound could not escape his ears.
For the Master to take out an iron sword,
the greatest possibility was that he had hidden the iron sword inside his wide robes, and even if it was very light, the blade and hilt would surely scrape against the fabric.
But just now,
there was not a single sound, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
"Amazing, as expected of the Master!"
Sanemi spoke at the opportune moment, breaking the somewhat quiet atmosphere.
Butterfly Shinobu did not speak.
Her physical strength was not strong, and the breathing style she mastered was not perception-based, so she did not notice anything unusual.
Yashiki Kagaya picked up the iron sword and said, "Shinobu, you are skilled in pharmacology and have a more detailed understanding of physical conditions. Try holding this iron sword."
To bring this newbie iron sword back to reality,
it cost 20 reward points.
Converted into money, it was very expensive, enough to forge four Nichirin Blades in the Swordsmith Village, and that didn't even include the value of the newbie iron sword itself.
But it was worth the price.
"Hold the iron sword?"
Butterfly Shinobu was puzzled.
She was skilled in pharmacology and the human body, what did that have to do with holding an iron sword?
Logically, to test the forging quality of a weapon, shouldn't it be given to the Flame Pillar, whose wrist strength ranks among the top three in the Demon Slayer Corps?
However,
since it was the Master's command, Butterfly Shinobu, though puzzled, still stepped forward.
She grasped the iron sword.
