Demon Slayer: Great Swordmaster System at the Start, My Master is Tsugikuni

I've decided. From now on, the Demon Slayer Corps will adopt the Scribe's plan.

Slapping the table, the frail Kagaya shouted.

The Demon Slayer Corps will usher in a historic reform today!

As soon as he finished speaking, the weak Kagaya coughed a few times.

The fact that he was so excited showed how much Kagaya agreed with and approved of the Scribe's ideas.

Since you formulated this system, Scribe, how do you think the ranks should be divided?

Taking a sip of water and catching his breath, Kagaya asked for the Scribe's opinion.

Ten ranks, with Class A at the top and Class B at the bottom.

Above these ten tiers are the Hashira ranks, who serve as pillars.

Nodding seriously, Kagaya also agreed with this rank division.

Do you have any other thoughts on other matters?

Nodding, the Scribe began to sketch on another piece of paper.

Before they knew it, he and Kagaya had discussed many things.

The more they talked, the more Kagaya felt the Scribe's incredibleness.

He was only eight years old, yet he saw things more clearly than Kagaya, who had been in a high position for many years.

This made him very happy, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

After reaching a consensus, the Scribe wrote a few large characters at the top of a piece of paper.

Demon Slayer Corps Logistics Support Department: Invisibility.

This meant that Invisibility was officially established.

For several consecutive days, the Scribe and Kagaya stayed in the room discussing.

They had serious and earnest discussions about everything Kagaya had thought of and hadn't thought of.

As for the five Hashira, who weren't good at this, they had left on the second day.

After the discussion was completed, Kagaya even bestowed the title of Demon Slayer Corps Chief Strategist upon the eight-year-old Scribe. As long as the Scribe lived, this title would never be given to anyone else.

After their discussion, Kagaya eagerly took the final plan to implement it.

As for the Scribe, he planned to get some good rest.

After a good night's sleep, the Scribe walked out of his room and suddenly noticed the sunlight outside.

Sunlight? Nichirin Blade?

As if remembering something, he clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm.

Since I'm an official member now, I'll need my own Nichirin Blade.

After submitting a request to Kagaya, the Scribe quickly received approval.

Although typically the Demon Slayer Corps would present the mined ore to the members for them to choose from, it was perfectly fine for members to go and retrieve the materials themselves.

After packing his belongings and with a wooden sword at his waist, the Scribe left the familiar small house once more.

This time, his destination was the source of the Nichirin Blade's materials: Sunlight Mountain!

Chapter 14: First Flower Hashira, Triggering a Hidden Quest

Standing in front of the main gate for a while, the Scribe seemed a bit confused.

He had never been to Sunlight Mountain and had no idea of the route there.

Moreover, this wasn't a mission assigned by the system, so there were no hints at all.

Just as he was considering whether to find a guide from Kagaya, a shout suddenly came from behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Rengoku Kyojuro, with his flame-colored hair, and the female Water Hashira walking towards them.

After a brief conversation, the Scribe told them about his intention to go to Sunlight Mountain.

Sunlight Mountain? That place isn't on my way.

Rubbing his chin with his right hand, Kyojuro seemed to be hesitating whether to take the Scribe to Sunlight Mountain first.

If he took a detour, his own mission might be at risk of not being completed.

However, it was clearly impossible to let someone like the Scribe, who had never been there before, go to Sunlight Mountain alone.

At that moment, Kyojuro's eyes suddenly lit up.

With a flash of movement, he pushed the person behind him forward.

It was then that the Scribe noticed a woman following behind the two.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair tied up in a petal-like bun at the back of her head, and her clothes were adorned with cherry blossom patterns.

Mie, the mission has changed. You'll take him to Sunlight Mountain now.

Laughing heartily, Tōshirō patted Inoue Mie on the shoulder, completely unconcerned about the trouble this would cause her.

"Flame Pillar-sama, this mission was ordered by Oyakata-sama for me and two other Pillars to complete together!"

A little annoyed, Inoue Mie pouted and stomped her foot in complaint.

"This mission is crucial for my promotion to Pillar!"

Raising an eyebrow, the Scribe immediately became interested.

One of the reforms he and Kagaya were discussing was to increase the number of Pillars from five to nine.

From Inoue Mie's words, it was clear she was one of the candidates.

And the only ones who would be working with the Flame Pillar and Water Pillar, aside from the Love Breathing that would appear centuries later, would likely be users of Flower Breathing.

Although he wasn't certain, the Scribe felt his guess was probably correct.

After all, under normal circumstances, Pillars were users of different Breathing Techniques.

Since the five basic Breathing Techniques already had Pillars, they could only select talent from users of derivative Breathing Techniques.

Under the joint appeasement of Tōshirō and the Water Pillar, Inoue Mie reluctantly agreed to the task.

"Alright, we have an agreement. You two Pillars must explain this clearly to Master."

Baring her small fists, Inoue Mie put on a threatening look.

Laughing heartily, Tōshirō said he would explain it properly.

Seeing that Inoue Mie had been persuaded, Tōshirō then spoke to the Scribe.

"Mie is a user of Flower Breathing, one of the derivative breathing techniques, and a Swordsman worth trusting."

His heart tightened, the Scribe knew he had guessed correctly.

The woman before him was the First Flower Hashira, a user of Flower Breathing.

After calling out to the Water Pillar, Tōshirō and the other left.

Watching their retreating figures, Inoue Mie couldn't help but complain.

"Honestly, even though I'm the Water Pillar's subordinate, it always feels like I'm the Flame Pillar's subordinate."

Shrugging his shoulders, the Scribe knew this was normal for Tōshirō.

"Aren't all members of the Rengoku family like this?"

Seeing them off, Inoue Mie turned and smiled at the Scribe.

Even for this female Swordsman, she felt a little embarrassed showing her true self to someone she had just met.

"Allow me to introduce myself, Inoue Mie, a user of Flower Breathing."

"Scribe, a user of Sun Breathing."

Upon hearing the Scribe state his name, Inoue Mie's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

With a gasp, her eyes were filled with surprise.

After becoming a Pillar candidate, she naturally learned many things she hadn't known before.

Naturally, she also learned about the key figure in the Demon Slayer Corps' recent reforms, the Scribe.

She had originally thought the Scribe would be a tall young man in his twenties, or a steady middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

But now, seeing the eight-year-old Scribe had already given her a huge shock.

To be a core figure in the Demon Slayer Corps at such a young age made Inoue Mie feel as if she had lived these past ten-plus years in vain.

"Am I... not what you imagined?"

Chuckling, the Scribe saw through Inoue Mie's thoughts.

Her thoughts read, Mie's face flushed, a hint of shyness appearing on her cheeks.

Pressing her lips together, her small hands waved around in the air, making her seem a little flustered.

Smiling and shaking his head, the Scribe said nothing and walked directly towards the door.

Seeing this, Inoue Mie quickly followed and shouted loudly.

"Hey, wait for me, Scribe, Master Scribe!"

Hearing such a title for the first time, even the Scribe's composure was shaken.

He stumbled, almost falling flat on his face.

During the journey to Sunlight Mountain, the Scribe finally managed to get Inoue Mie to give up calling him "Master Scribe."

It wasn't that he couldn't accept the title, but having a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl call an eight-year-old boy "Master" always felt a bit strange to the Scribe.

Nodding with satisfaction, the Scribe then shifted his focus to Sunlight Mountain.

After walking for so long, they were almost at their destination.

After observing their surroundings, Inoue Mie pointed in the direction of Sunlight Mountain.

Following the direction of the finger, the Scribe saw a towering mountain peak that reached the clouds.

There wasn't a single cloud in the sky above Sunlight Mountain; it was a clear, vast sky, and sunlight could illuminate every inch of the peak without any blind spots.

It could be said that everything produced on this mountain contained the energy of the sun!

And the raw material for the Nichirin Blade came from this mountain.

Having witnessed the sight of Sunlight Mountain with his own eyes, the Scribe was certain that this was the mountain he was looking for.

"Not far ahead, there should be a small outpost of our Demon Slayer Corps," Inoue Mie said in surprise, placing her right hand on her forehead to observe.

"It's right there!"

Indeed, a small village appeared a few hundred meters ahead.

The two exchanged a glance and increased their speed.

After traveling for so long, they also wanted to find a place to rest properly.

As soon as he stepped into the village, the Scribe's mind was suddenly filled with the system's voice again.

"Detected host has entered the range of Sunlight Mountain, hidden mission unlocked."

"What the heck? A hidden quest?"

Chapter 15: A World of Muscles, A Ferocious Smelting Process

It was the first time encountering a hidden mission, and the Scribe couldn't help but be taken aback.

Seeing the somewhat strange Scribe, Inoue Mie tilted her head and asked.
