Makomo's Surprise

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was a resolute yet compassionate leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

He could remain absolutely calm as he sent one Demon Slayer Corps member after another on missions, even missions he knew were certain to end in death, watching them die. Yet at the same time, he loved every single Corps member and regarded them as family.

Precisely because of this, although he had never personally fought a demon as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, the pain he endured in his heart through every day and night far surpassed that of any other Corps member.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki would not resent the gods' inaction as the Wind Hashira did. He clearly understood that, as a human, everything lay in one's own hands. Seeking to depend on others, to depend on the gods, was an act of weakness.

Humans might be weak, but they also possessed conviction.

"It seems that you know everything happening in this world. Forgive my presumption, but may I ask whether you have come here this time with some divine revelation?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki bowed before Feng Ye, maintaining his respectful posture.

Feng Ye looked at him.

Among everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki might have been the weakest in terms of strength. His combat ability was not even enough to defeat
