After Butterfly Kanae saw the few people return, the heart that had been hanging finally settled.
"How was it? Does the Minister of the Left believe that the death of the security officer has nothing to do with the Ubuyashiki Clan?"
It wasn't that Butterfly Kanae was heartless, but rather that she felt that they, the Demon Slayer swordsmen, had already burdened Kagaya Ubuyashiki too much.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's family fortune was constantly being encroached upon, making it increasingly difficult to support the Demon Slayer Corps, but he had never thought of giving up.
She also didn't think that "killing demons" was Kagaya Ubuyashiki's sole responsibility. They, the swordsmen, weren't killing demons just because Kagaya Ubuyashiki was paying them.
Each of them had basically had their original happiness stolen by Muzan and those demons.
They killed demons for revenge, and also... to prevent more people from suffering the misfortunes they had experienced.
This simple empathy was the starting point for the Butterfly sisters, and she believed it was also the starting point for most Demon Slayer swordsmen.
The Professor narrowed her eyes, thinking about how to speak, but Bai Cangshu said directly,
"The Minister of the Left?"
"Heh, he's dead."
Butterfly Kanae was shocked, looking at Bai Cangshu in disbelief, but Bai Cangshu spread his hands, looking at this not-so-weak Woman with some amusement.
"Miss Butterfly, those people have already allied with the Ogres, and even some high-ranking government officials have probably turned into Ogres. Isn't it ridiculous that you're still thinking about how to explain?"
Butterfly Kanae frowned. If she was asked to kill demons, she naturally wouldn't frown, but killing someone like the Minister of the Left...
"I have to go back and report to Kagaya Ubuyashiki. The things involved in this are simply too numerous. The one standing behind the Minister of the Left is very likely that person!"
Bai Cangshu didn't understand the Japanese people's inherent "obedience." He still had a look of course.
"Hmm, Yuhito, I plan to kill him too."
Hiss~
Hearing Bai Cangshu's words, Elizabeth and the Professor both secretly inhaled, only feeling that "Tao Bai Bai" was a complete lunatic, as if there was only one option when he spoke: kill, kill, or kill.
Yuhito was the person who would inherit the throne of Japan in the future; he wasn't some random nobody. Such a person would likely have many guards, and now cooperating with Kibutsuji Muzan, it was not impossible for an Upper Moon or even Muzan himself to be by his side.
How could he be so easy to kill?
Butterfly Kanae's pupils also constricted sharply, and her face turned pale. She was also somewhat startled by the terrifying thinking of this powerful man, who actually wanted to assassinate the Emperor's offspring...
At this moment, a ray of sunlight just appeared on the horizon, and the night full of crises was just coming to an end.
[Main Mission 1: Survive until dawn, completed]
[Reward: 1000 dimensional points]
Seeing this ray of sunlight, Butterfly Kanae's mood also improved slightly. She didn't respond to Bai Cangshu's words, only saying that she needed to go back and ask Kagaya Ubuyashiki for instructions, and then prepared to leave with her people.
The Professor frowned. It was clear that Tao Bai Bai's words had stimulated Butterfly Kanae. The kind [Flower Pillar] didn't take them, who had fought alongside her, to the Butterfly Estate to rest, which was not a good outcome for the main mission.
So she stepped forward and said with a smile,
"Let's put Mr. Tao's words aside for now, Miss Butterfly. A few of us also have the desire to contribute to the eradication of demons..."
She knew that since the two who left had joined the [Kibutsuji Muzan Faction] first and had even come to assassinate them, the option for them to join the Ogre faction had already been ruled out.
Those two had the advantage of joining first and had definitely sold the information that the [blue spider lily] Reincarnator was most valuable to Kibutsuji Muzan for a good price.
It would be extremely difficult for them to join now, and they would likely be ambushed.
So neither the duo of Elizabeth and Vincent, nor the straw hat man Liu Qi, objected to the Professor's words.
Hearing this, Butterfly Kanae also showed a smile.
"It's certainly an excellent thing to have more people fighting against the Ogres at a time like this, but I also need to report to Kagaya Ubuyashiki before I can give you an answer."
She glanced at Bai Cangshu again. His technique of killing demons with his bare hands made her envious, but unfortunately, this person's thoughts were simply too terrifying.
After Butterfly Kanae left, the few people rested nearby. This place was not far from Heian-kyō, which made it convenient for them to observe the subsequent reactions to the assassination of the Minister of the Left last night.
Because Ogres couldn't appear during the day, they were quite confident facing ordinary plot characters with outdated weapons.
Bai Cangshu found a place to sit down by himself, closed his eyes, and continued to breathe in and out. The Ripple Breathing Technique was slowly restoring his injuries.
Minor injuries, such as the cut on his left hand from a sharp blade, were now almost healed.
The others tended to their injuries separately. Because each Reincarnator had their own secrets, they kept a considerable distance from each other.
The Professor's injuries were probably the most serious among them. Bai Cangshu saw that the sword that struck her had almost cut through her chest.
But somehow, she looked to be in good condition at the moment.
This Woman, wearing black-rimmed glasses, walked closer to Bai Cangshu.
Seeing Bai Cangshu open his eyes, she immediately spread her hands, indicating that she had no hostility.
"Mr. Tao Bai Bai, you should also know that the possibility of us joining the Kibutsuji Muzanfaction now is not high. Why did you still provoke Butterfly Kanae?"

"It doesn't matter if we don't tell her about our side mission. As long as we successfully join the Demon Slayer Corps faction and gain reputation, with your strength, it's very possible to get an A rating at the end."
Bai Cangshu closed his eyes again, noncommittal about the Professor's words.
The Professor pursed her lips. She knew that this "Tao Bai Bai" looked down on her somewhat, and because she had accidentally revealed the origin of his [Ripple Breathing] at that time, she was in the wrong first.
She closed her eyes, and a strange fluctuation spread out. Bai Cangshu opened his eyes. He did indeed feel something, but that feeling was very magical, something he had never experienced before, as if something invisible had swept across his body's surface.
The Professor took off her black-rimmed glasses. Only then did Bai Cangshu notice that this Woman's eyes emitted a faint glow.
"Mr. Tao Bai Bai, I think you must be a special Reincarnator."
She suppressed the fear in her heart and revealed what she had seen.
"I saw that after you killed that Reincarnator, you obtained a bloody drop. This sort of thing should theoretically never happen in a cooperative mission world. The only explanation is that you are not an ordinary Reincarnator."
"You are a member of the [Cardholders]!"
At this, Bai Cangshu did indeed look at this "Professor," who claimed to understand the mission world and the Space very well, with new eyes. The other party did seem to have many secrets.
And now, the other party was voluntarily revealing these secrets, which meant she must need his help with something.
Bai Cangshu's eyes moved, and he showed a smile.
"Miss Professor, you guessed correctly. Let me also take a guess."
"I think your main mission must be completely different from ours."
"That's why you actively tested whether the missions of the rest of us were to survive until dawn at the start of the mission."
"The abnormality in the difficulty of this mission is not because I am too strong or because I am a special Reincarnator. The reason why the difficulty of this world has increased sharply is because - a special Reincarnator has opened a special trial in this world!"
The Professor's pupils constricted, and she instinctively took half a step back, but immediately realized that her reaction had revealed the answer.
She could only force herself to remain calm and continue the conversation.
"That's right, I am a new Reincarnator discovered by [Azure Sky], and also a [Cardholder]. This mission world is the special trial I opened."
