Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was already kneeling in the main seat, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you both very much for your help."

In the past, such an action would have certainly been stopped by the nine 'Pillar' level swordsmen who respected him greatly.

But today, the latter group does not do so.

After all, both the intelligence given before and the 'Eye of God' now are 'favors'.

Although the swordsmen had different personalities, none of them were rude and impulsive.

Especially after seeing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's health begin to improve, they were all grateful to Ryoki and the others.

therefore……

"..."

Following Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the nine 'Pillar' level swordsmen also bowed in greeting.

This is not a servile act.

It is a sincere way of expressing gratitude.

At present...

"Gentlemen, there's no need for such formalities."

Ling Shu (Shiki Kosho) smiled and said, "The strong help the weak, and then the weak help others after they become strong... Isn't that your philosophy?"

"In the future, the best reward will be if you can build a truly beautiful and peaceful country."

Hearing him say that...

"Thank you for your trust, I will not let you down."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "So, next..."

"It's time to make full preparations and break this vicious cycle that has lasted for thousands of years."

Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon king who, after dying in the original timeline, was cast into the Avici Hell and would never be reborn...

The final countdown of his ugly life has begun.

******

The next morning...

"Ugh?"

After a 'pillar meeting' that lasted almost until midnight, Tanjiro finally avoided the ordeal that nearly caused his lungs to explode and received an order from Shinobu Kocho that 'Nezuko has been approved to join the Demon Slayer Corps'.

Right now, in a ward inside the 'Butterfly House'.

"So, I don't have to leave the Demon Slayer Corps?"

The innocent, angelic boy pointed to himself, somewhat dazed.

It seems there are still some unforeseen circumstances.

Or perhaps it could be described as: unbelievable?

In short...

"Of course you don't need to leave the Demon Slayer Corps."

Shinobu Kocho smiled gently and said, "However, if you want to gain more recognition, you'll still need to work hard in the future~"

joke!

A swordsman who inherited the original breathing technique, "Sun Breathing".

He may be the first swordsman to awaken his 'spots' in the future.

In the future, he even personally killed Muzan Kibutsuji and refused to become the new 'Demon King' with his strong will.

To make you leave the Demon Slayer Corps?

So... are you stupid or are we stupid?

cough~

That's a bit rough.

But that's roughly the idea.

By the way...

"It's a way of protecting Tanjiro and the others."

Last night, at the end of the 'pillar meeting', Kagaya Ubuyashiki made a suggestion: "For the time being, do not disclose matters concerning the 'future'."

"At this stage, all we need to do is carefully teach these outstanding children."

This matter later indeed became a top-secret directive that was put into practice within the Demon Slayer Corps.

So now...

"Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke."

The butterfly was suppressing a laugh... was it a little bit cunning?

Then she said in a playful tone, "Later, a very powerful priest will come here to heal your injuries."

"And then..."

Shinobu Kocho narrowed her eyes slightly. "It's time to begin the 'physical function recovery training'."

This chapter has not been approved.

As mentioned before, nowadays, all members of Ling Shu's "Squad" can use the "Dust Song Pot" to call for reinforcements.

In essence, the 'Temple of Time' is used as a dimensional transfer station, and 'Shiki-chan' conducts cross-dimensional real-time communication to invite other Genshin Impact clones to go to designated locations to help.

today……

"Although I have helped you recover from your injuries, it would be better if you rested for a week first."

Inside the Demon Slayer Corps' Butterfly Mansion, in the rest room of the hospital ward where Tanjiro and the others were.

At this moment, a petite girl with gray-blue eyes and light golden curly hair in pigtails is looking at the three boys on the hospital bed and gently reminding them.

She, Barbara, a water-type Genshin Impact known as the 'Shining Songstress,' is arguably Ling Shu's most versatile companion.

There's no other reason than that the self-developed ability to "use music to trigger various supernatural phenomena" has enormous potential for development.

As for the present situation...

"Ooh hoo~"

The future 'sleeping pillar' was still a pure LSP at this time, and almost the moment he saw Barbara, he twisted his body into a maggot-like shape.

There is currently no cure for his condition of "I'll die if no pretty girls look at me".

Incidentally, it wasn't just him...

"what?"

Tanjiro appeared very confused from the very beginning.

Because he always felt that this Miss Barbara from 'foreign'... her voice...

"She looks just like Nezuko~"

The eldest son, with his simple and honest personality, didn't ask these questions.

He just kept muttering to himself.

And seeing his puzzled expression...

"Hmm~ That's the feeling."

The ninja, who was originally quite cunning, nodded with satisfaction.

Not long ago, she had the same feeling when she first met that 'Miss Kamisato'.

Now, seeing others have had similar experiences... I don't know why, but a kind of harmless pleasure inexplicably arises in my heart.

Of course, this is all just playful banter.

Some important matters cannot be delayed.

At present...

"Rest is fine."

Shinobu picked up where Barbara left off, and continued with a smile, "But during this period, you will all have to participate in the physical recovery training specially arranged in my 'Butterfly House'."

"Don't worry, it's not a high-intensity training program."

"It's not difficult at all!"

******

Two weeks later...

"..."

Still in the ward lounge of the 'Butterfly House'.

At this moment, all three boys are lying in their hospital beds, taking a nap.

Upon closer inspection, both of them looked completely drained and listless.

Only one certain lewd, blond-haired boy, with a ruddy complexion, smiled in an extremely lewd manner.

Logically speaking...

At this stage, among the three pillars of the Head Pillar, Sleeping Pillar, and Pig Pillar, the most timid one is this boy named Zenitsu Agatsuma.

However, after two weeks of 'physical recovery training,' the one with the best spirits was this pure LSP.

Because during their 'rest' period, Shinobu Kocho arranged training programs for the three of them that mostly focused on improving their flexibility.

Based on this...

Anyone who has worked with dance majors can recall the horrific experience of stretching their ligaments and understand just how painful this seemingly "easy" training program actually is.

It should be noted that among the three, Inosuke Hashibira has the best flexibility; he can even bend his head back to his crotch.
