Sixth Update! Wisteria Mountain Discovered!

The rain came without a trace and went without a trace. A young boy and girl walked on the mountain path washed clean by the rain.

The dew on the leaves, the puddles on the ground, the thin mist on the distant mountains, and the fresh moisture on the tip of the nose—all of this is like a beautiful landscape painting, silently cleansing one's soul.

"Haven't we arrived yet?"

Mumei Earth Flow, his two beautiful Kohaku eyes admiring the surrounding mountain scenery.

Since leaving that village, they had been traveling for nearly two days. They had encountered another village along the way, but Koshimizu Fumi, citing limited time, only bought some food and water.

"It should be soon. Actually, this is my first time too."

The boy became somewhat insecure after being asked the question, but fortunately, a glimpse of purple appeared at the end of his vision, bringing a joyful smile to his face.

"Look, it's Wisteria Tree!"

As the two approached the grove of Wisteria Flower, Mumei was immediately stunned by the magnificent and spectacular sight, murmuring to himself, "It's so beautiful."

At the same time, he thought to himself, "I'll bring Ikoma here for a visit someday after the World Government conquers this world."

Meanwhile, Koshimizu Fumi, who was beside her, was unaware that the girl already had a sweetheart, and still smiled enthusiastically, saying, "My master told me that as long as I see Wisteria Flower, I've arrived at the place of the final test!"

"Oh~"

The Mumei man nodded noncommittally.

Over the past two days, she has learned a lot about the Demon Slayer Corps, Breathing Technique, and that peculiar Swordsmanship from this innocent young man.

He answered every question honestly, only occasionally giving me a surprised look, as if to say, "How come you don't even know this?"

Fortunately, his previous act of saving her life and his extraordinary skills did not arouse much suspicion from the other party.

There's another troublesome aspect.

It means you need to secretly drink some of the blood you carry with you, and occasionally pretend to eat some normal food.

The path became quite steep from there; it was basically a mountain climb. When they reached the top of the stone steps, they saw two large red pillars standing there.

Some of them resemble the pillars of Torii, but they are not complete Torii.

"There are so many people."

Koshimizu Fumi looked at the group of people in their twenties or thirties in the arena and sighed. These were all competitors, and each of them seemed very strong.

Mumei glanced around.

"Sure enough, when these people aren't actively using that Breathing Technique, their aura is about the same as that of an ordinary adult."

Because the 'Nue' form greatly enhanced her perception and spirit, she mastered Observation Haki very easily during her training at CIPHER POL headquarters.

As for Armament Haki, it is much more difficult because it is directly linked to physical strength and willpower.

Finally, the Mumei gaze passed through the figures and settled on two short-haired girls in dark purple kimonos at the other end.

Their hair was one black and one white, and they stood gracefully between two red pillars, their backs to the Wisteria Flower foliage.

Because only these two girls were not carrying knives, and their eyes were very peculiar.

The purple iris was very large, taking up almost two-thirds of the eye, while the pupil, like the iris at the edge, was white, which looked very strange.

At the same time.

Not far away, a boy's nose suddenly twitched, and he subconsciously sniffed the air before his gaze followed the scent to the Mumei man.

"The smell of human blood is very faint, but it's not the smell of ghosts."

The boy had a noticeable burn scar on his left forehead, a white and red Fox Mask hanging behind his head, earrings with a Sun Blade pattern on his ears, a short jacket with a blue background Bai Yun patterns, and a Nichirin Blade with a black sheath and white handle at his waist.

It is none other than the 'male protagonist' of this world, Tanjiro Kamado!

His innate, extraordinary sense of smell not only allows him to easily distinguish any scent, but also to sense human emotions, differentiate between humans and demons, and even identify 'Scent of the Weak Point' containing the scent of an opponent's weakness during battle.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Naturally, he could also smell the human blood in the small bottle on Mumei's body.

Just as Mumei was looking at the two Purple-robed Girls, and Tanjiro was looking at Mumei, the two Purple-robed Girls spoke in unison, drawing the attention of all the boys and girls in the room to themselves.

"Everyone."

"Thank you so much for participating in the Demon Slayer Corps' final selection tonight."

Then they all started saying a sentence each.

The white-haired girl maintained her smile and said, "Many demons captured alive by the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen are imprisoned in this Wisteria Mountain; they cannot leave."

The black-haired girl maintained her smile and said, "This is because Wisteria Flower, which the demons despise, blooms year-round from the foot of the mountain to its middle section."

The white-haired girl maintained her smile and said again, "However, from here onwards, there will be no more Wisteria Flower in the area, so ghosts will appear."

Then, the black-haired girl continued, "Please survive here for seven days; this is the final selection criterion."

After saying this, the two bowed and said in unison, "Then, please take care."

The atmosphere in the room had long since reached a freezing point with each of their words, and the expressions of every boy and girl had become serious.

The Mumei one was the same; she hadn't expected there to be so many monsters here that couldn't be killed without Nichirin Blade.

"Mumei Girl, they didn't say we can't team up, let's go together later!" Koshimizu Fumi thought of the situation where she didn't have Nichirin Blade.

"Good!"

At this moment, Mumei didn't hesitate and agreed without pretense, saying, "I'll suppress those ghosts, you kill them!"

As the figures of the two Purple-robed Girls disappeared into the distance, the boys and girls in the arena began to move. Some excitedly rushed over alone, while others gathered in twos and threes.

At the same time.

From the trunk of a Wisteria Tree in the distance, Laskey heard everything through the Mumei headset and began to record the location on the map he had hastily drawn over the past few days.

He had received orders to capture a demon alive, and it seems he has exceeded expectations, because the demon in Wisteria Mountain now belongs to the World Government!

That evening, just as Mumei was beginning his final assessment with Koshimizu Fumi, the Otherworld Strategy Committee on the Sea Star Homeworld received a live report from Laskey.

After hearing about Wisteria Mountain's situation, everyone in the command center was overjoyed.

"Hehehe, the Demon Slayer Corps has done a good thing, not bad, not bad!" Chairman Fernandez spread his palms and praised them highly.

"I think we can send more people to that Wisteria Mountain, capture all those ghosts, and then hand them over to the Biochemical Research Institute."

The proposal was put forward by Hobson Samuel, former Vice Chairman Minister of Ministry of Justice.

The demon's exaggerated self-healing ability is just too appealing; after all, no one can guarantee that their body won't be damaged.

"No rush!"

Upon hearing his words, Kongming quickly raised his feather fan to stop him.

"Wisteria Mountain and the demons inside are right there. There's no need to rush. Let Mumei pass this final test first, and then infiltrate the Demon Slayer Corps. At least we need to find out where their headquarters is."

Former Vice Minister of the Finance Department, Vice Chairman Maren Wilfred, agreed, "Indeed, the Breathing Technique, the accompanying Swordsmanship, and that Nichirin Blade are all good things. Let's learn more about the Demon Slayer Corps first."

"Chairman, Mumei has started a live stream!"

Suddenly, a technician behind the control panel in front of them shouted a report, which made the five Vice Chairman at the conference table perk up.

"Hey, Mumei, what's this? A snail?"

Inside Wisteria Mountain, not long after Koshimizu Fumi had left, he noticed that Mumei took a small creature out of his pocket and placed it on his shoulder. The creature's small eyes began to slowly scan its surroundings.

The latter, however, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Yes, its name is Rice), it's my pet. It was sleeping the whole time, so I'm letting it get some fresh air now."

"But we're about to face a ghost, aren't you afraid of it?"

"It's okay, you know I'm very strong~"
