They're Only Three Lower Ranks-Easy as Pie

Shinobu Butterfly narrowed her eyes as she turned her gaze to Nezuko.

Kanae Butterfly to the side, said something to her younger sister in an annoyed tone, indicating that she shouldn't be so rude.

With a slight smile, Shinobu Butterfly obediently shut her mouth.

Upon seeing Yaozai and the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, Nezuko paused for a moment and stood still.

What are you standing there for? They're not going to eat you.

With a smile, Scribe then gently patted her back.

"You may have heard of some of these people before, but I'll still tell you anyway. That tall guy over there is the Stone Hashira..."

Whenever the Scribe mentions a person, he points to the corresponding figure and tells Nezuko the Demon Slayer Corps codename.

Nezuko bowed to the Pillar-level member upon hearing that he was a member of the Pillar-level team.

The Pillar-level members politely nodded to Nezuko.

After the Scribe finished his introduction, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, finally spoke.

It seems you all have a basic understanding now, so I won't say anything more.

With a gentle smile, Yaozai then spoke.

"Without further ado, let's begin this meeting now."

He coughed a few times before speaking.

First, Nezuko, could you please tell us about what happened at Mount Natagumo?

"Yes, my Master."

Standing up, Nezuko then truthfully recounted what had happened after she entered Mount Natagumo.

Yaozai and the Pillars listened silently, nodding occasionally in agreement.

After Nezuko finished speaking, Yaozai looked at Shinobu Butterfly and Kanae Butterfly.

Shinobu, Kanae Kocho is here. Have all the surviving team members been settled and taken care of?

"The treatment has already begun inside the Butterfly Mansion."

With a smile, Yaozai began to speak.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, it's our duty."

With their heads down, the Kocho Sisters showed no arrogance.

After confirming that the survivors were alright, Yaozai continued speaking to Nezuko.

"So, you encountered Lower Rank Five 5, one of the Twelve Kizuki, there, right?"

'Yes.

Nezuko, then looked at the Scribe.

"If it weren't for Mister Scribe's intervention, we would probably all be dead at the hands of that Twelve Kizuki."

Upon hearing this, all ten Pillars, including Yaozai, focused their attention on the Scribe.

Although they knew that the Scribe was very strong, they had never received any news before that the Scribe had personally killed the Twelve Kizuki.

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the first time the Demon Slayer Corps has learned that the Scribe personally killed Twelve Kizuki who was currently active.

They didn't know about the Lower Rank One Ubume, but the Lower Rank Two, Rui, was intentionally killed by Kyojuro at the Scribe's behest.

Even now, according to Nezuko, the Scribe killed a Lower Rank with a single stroke.

With a raised eyebrow, Scribe remained remarkably calm in the face of the dozen or so gazes directed at him.

"It's not one of the Twelve Kizuki either."

"No?"

Somewhat doubtful, Yaozai and the other pillars subconsciously believed that the demon killed by the Scribe was not Twelve Kizuki, but a special being like the temple demon.

Nezuko, however, immediately spoke up.

Why isn't it the Twelve Kizuki? You must have seen it too, Mister Scribe, that guy has numbers on his eyes.

"No, no, no, none of you understand what I mean."

With a slight smile, Scribe scratched his head and continued.

'I mean, in Mount Natagumo, there are not one of the Twelve Kizuki, but three.'

For a moment, the entire courtyard fell silent.

Only the sounds of everyone's heartbeats and breathing added a touch of life to this quiet courtyard.

"So, you mean, Mister Scribe, you solved the cases of three of the Twelve Kizuki in one go?"

"That's right, besides the Lower Rank Five Rui, there's also the Lower Rank Six Kamuna and the Lower Rank Four Koyuki."

The Scribe said with a smile, counting on his fingers.

"I reckon Muzan's face Muzan turned green by now."

The Scribe's words were like a stone thrown into a pond, instantly waking everyone up.

"Did I hear that right? The Demon Slayer Corps wiped out a quarter of the Twelve Kizuki in one go?"

Pointing to himself, Tengen Uzui said to Sanemi beside him.

"Why don't you punch me? I don't really believe you."

"Bang!"

With a punch to Tengen Uzui's face, Sanemi slammed his head aside.

"Holy crap, that hurts! This doesn't look like a dream."

After rubbing his face, Tengen pointed at Sanemi and said angrily.

"But you hit really hard, I feel like my face is about to be swollen from your blows."

Before Sanemi could answer, Shinobu Butterfly interrupted.

"Didn't Mr. Tengen say that Sanemi should fight? Besides, I think you look very elegant right now."

"Gorgeous? Really? Hahaha!"

Upon hearing someone describe him as glamorous, Tengen Uzui, who had been somewhat depressed, suddenly became interested.

He didn't care about the punch Sanemi had just given him and just started laughing.

In this situation, a figure suddenly broke through the door and rushed in.

The person who arrived was Tanjiro, and he had a worried expression on his face.

"Mister Scribe, Nezuko, I'm here!"

Chapter 289 Three Lower Rank? A piece of cake!

Suddenly, the once quiet courtyard became noisy again.

'You little brat, kneel down right now! Do you know what you've done?!'

Sanemi had the most fiery temper, shouted something and then charged towards Tanjiro.

Kyojuro crossed his arms and said with a righteous expression.

"What a brave child, but this kind of thing is wrong."

Tengen Uzui rested one hand on his forehead, a hint of pride on his face.

"Splendid, let me punish him in a magnificent way."

Obanai Iguro glanced at Tanjiro before looking away.

"Is this a new team member?"

Tokito Muichiro smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Well, let's have a proper talk, after all, he's a newcomer."

Upon hearing of Tanjiro's arrival, Himejima Gyomei clasped his hands together and spoke softly.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha".

Kanroji Mitsuri pursed her lips and said shyly.

"He's a somewhat reckless child."

The Kocho Sisters exchanged a smile; they already knew about Tanjiro's situation.

As for Tomioka Giyu, he only glanced at Tanjiro.

Although there was a look of surprise on his face, he still did not say anything.

Sanemi ran to Tanjiro's side, knocked him to the ground in a few moves, grabbed him by the collar, and walked over to him.

"You'd better kneel down right now. Who taught you to be so rude?"

"Sanemi, that's the one I brought out."

"..."

Upon hearing the Scribe's words, Sanemi Shinazugawa paused for a moment, then fell silent.

After a long while, he stammered.

"Why don't you listen to me properly? You've wasted Mister Scribe's good intentions."

Shaking his head, the Scribe didn't say anything more.

For Sanemi, who is not good with words, this can be considered a sign that he knows he is wrong.

Scribe stopped Nezuko from running away and then told her not to worry.

As for Tanjiro, who had just barged in, Ubuyashiki Kagaya did not punish him immediately, but simply spoke gently.

"You must be Kamado Tanjiro."

"Yes."

Tanjiro raised his head and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

I hope you will not punish the Mister Scribe!

Scribe blinked twice, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Punish who? Me? Why would I punish *** for no reason?"

"Are you mistaken about something? Not only will the Mister Scribe not be punished, but he will also have made a great contribution."

With his arms crossed, Sanemi kicked Tanjiro and said with a frown.

"The Mister Scribe killed three of the Twelve Kizuki at Mount Natagumo, how could he possibly be punished?"

"Yes, the Mister Scribe killed the Twelve Kizuki, so he should..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tanjiro suddenly frowned, his face filled with confusion.

"Three, three people?!"

He turned to look at the Scribe instantly, Tanjiro stared straight at him, as if he wanted to say something.

"That's right, just as you thought. After you left, I killed the other two Twelve Kizuki."

Taking a deep breath, Tanjiro finally accepted what the Scribe had said.

No wonder the Scribe told him and Nezuko to leave; he was worried about their safety.

"Three Lower Rank are nothing to worry about."

The Scribe waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned.

Among the Demon Slayer Corps, he's probably the only one who thinks the three Lower Rank are just a piece of cake.

He then briefly recounted what happened after Tanjiro and Nezuko left.
