Chapter 392 - Chapter 279: That Year, Hatsu Gel Smeared with X Kyōka Suigetsu

Beneath the bright moon,

A bright point of light continuously ascended into the night sky,

Climbing higher and higher,

Growing brighter and brighter,

Before reaching halfway, it was already as large as the moon,

In this pitch-black midnight, the wanton display of light and heat created an unprecedented scene of "dual moons in the sky"!

"Anada, what is this?"

"Tap... tap...." The night was torn apart, revealing a sliver of blue sky. Inside, Kie Kamado, still saddened by Roy's departure, couldn't sleep. She lit a lamp and started making clothes for the children from some fabric Roy had brought from the market. Suddenly witnessing this scene,

Her hand shook, pricking her finger with the needle, causing her to frown slightly in pain as she draped herself and approached Tanjuro in shock.

The man with long flaming red hair trailing down his back, slightly swaying with the wind, looked up as Roy transformed into the moon, ascending higher and higher, and in those bright eyes, his gaze drifting, he seemed to see... another head of flaming red hair, almost identical to his own......

He opened his mouth, reached to embrace Kie Kamado's shoulder, and smiled....

"Kie Kamado, the child is grown, let him go... he,"

"Is far stronger and more brilliant than we ever imagined!"

As soon as the man's voice fell, Roy's Nen surged and steamed, directly dispelling half of the night sky's darkness, with a more terrifying, brighter, more scorching manifestation than the moon, shot straight to overshadow it, transforming into a great sun hanging above it!

Finally, the remaining night sky was utterly dispelled by the unrestrained flood of Nen Light from Roy,

At this moment, midnight dreams returned, blue skies and white clouds entered the drowsy vision. Those who got up late at night, sellers of breakfast, and those habitually working late into the night—all intending to do some preliminary work before dawn—were caught off guard... with one glance, looking up at the sky, they were stunned, nearly wondering if they had taken a sudden step right into daylight.

Yet... the clock on the wall,

The timing devices, clepsydra and sundials, all reminded them that this was not morning, but... midnight!

So..."How... how did the sun come out?"

"Old woman/Darling/Nissan/Old man... wake up, wake up quickly... a miracle... the great sun god has descended to the world!"

Bewilderment, excitement, clamor, and shouts resembled a hurricane sweeping through the Demon Slayer World, reaching across the land....

Some worshiped, some knelt, some burned incense, with hands clasped together, muttering words, while others fiddled with a freshly produced rare gadget called a "camera," "click click," frantically capturing from all angles this rare "sun and moon shining together" scene....

The Demon Slayer Corps,

With Muzan's death,

The Demon Slayer Corps had no more Evil Ghosts to slay,

As the former leader, Ubuyashiki Kagaya voluntarily suggested, each dispersed, awaiting the next summons from "Lord Eiichiro Oda."

At that time, in the place hidden by a grove of wisteria, Ubuyashiki Kagaya was holding Amane in deep sleep,

At that time, Tomioka Giyu returned to Sagiri yama, drinking all night with Sabito, Makomo, and other senior brothers,

At that time, Izuki Kobane tossed and turned, unable to sleep, secretly mustering the courage to confess to Mitsuri Kanroji,

At that time, Gyomei Himejima quietly returned to the monastery he once stayed in, reminiscing past hardships and sweetness,

At that time, Uzu was on the edge, enjoying the joy of sharing a bed with his wife,

Yet—

At the moment Roy soared into the sky, piercing the clouds, it was as if rehearsed beforehand, they all opened their eyes in unison, got up, quickly dressed, and stepped out of the house, looking up at the sky, squinting excitedly,

Using [Gyo] to look into the depths of the [Sun], a distinctive head of flaming red hair hung suspended and flying....

Led by Ubuyashiki Kagaya and Kyojuro Rengoku, the Hashira knelt on one knee, right hand over heart, reverently intoning: "Praise the sun."

Consequently, strands of [Power Of Faith] emerged from their foreheads, converging towards Roy high in the sky, forming a continuous string of prompt sounds echoing in Roy's ears....

[Tip: "Power Of Faith" +1+1+1.....]

As if,

Henceforth,

The billions of beings represented by the members of the Demon Slayer, gained... faith!

"Ong~" As the Nen wind scattered the white clouds with strands of Nen Light... high sky, above the moon, Roy stood at the world's pinnacle, faintly sensing something, with eyebrows trembling, gaining a deeper insight into "Nen", "Faith," and the core pointing directly to his heart—the sun.

Vaguely, [Gate of Cognition] flickered,

As a tide surged in Roy's "Sea of Cognition," smacking open a tall portal branded with a [Majestic Ghost Face],

Death God World,

Soul Court,

The world remained the same world, with the familiar Soul Court beneath his feet...

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni sat cross-legged on the veranda of a courtyard, basking in the sun.

Since the last parting with Roy, having glimpsed Roy's "grateful" sword, this greatest Shinigami of the millennia was often absent-minded. Sometimes during meetings, he would suddenly blank out... sometimes while listening to reports, he'd space out suddenly; even his usual affinity for tea parties lacked enthusiasm, often tugging his long beard in silence... causing Kyoraku and Ukitake to secretly discuss if the old man had senile dementia, discreetly inquiring through Chujiro Sasakibe, who knew Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni best...
