"I believe everyone has already realized the question of where the Demon Slayer Corps is headed."

Laskey was always facing Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his two daughters. When the video was playing earlier, the latter would lean close to Laszczuk's ear and explain the content of the video to him one by one.

"This problem is easily solved: join the World Government!"

"Then what is World Government?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki softly voiced the question that everyone present was asking.

"Regarding the World Government, it is too great to explain in just a few words. Therefore, please watch another video. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Laskey raised his hand and pressed the button on the Den Den Mushi again. This time, although the Pillars present were still amazed, they did not lose their composure as before.

Soon, the Den Den Mushi projected two beams of light again, which converged in mid-air to form a high-definition virtual screen, and a floating white emblem of a Five-Circle Cross appeared at the beginning.

The camera then zoomed out, and everyone immediately realized that it was actually a flag fluttering in the wind. Then, the magnificent World Government headquarters building, as tall as a mountain, came into view.

Kyojuro Rengoku and the others had never seen such tall man-made structures before; each of the five white cylindrical buildings was over a thousand meters high!

At the same time, the narrator's voice began to play.

"The World Government is the most powerful international organization in the Sea Star World, ruling over all the countries and islands of the Sea Star World. Its supreme leadership is the Supreme Governing Committee, namely the Five Elders. Its direct subordinate organizations include the intelligence agency CIPHER POL, the Army Headquarters, the Marine Headquarters, Impel Down Impel Down, and so on."

To facilitate the introduction of the World Government by the members of the Otherworld Strategy Committee in the other world, the Media Bureau of the Publicity Department specially produced this promotional video.

Although it doesn't cover much content, it does explain what World Government is, what other Otherworld and Star Gate are.

Interspersed throughout are scenes of naval and Army unit sizes, as well as cataclysmic battles between powerful Sea Star creatures.

Unsurprisingly, these scenes shattered the worldviews of these Demon Slayer Corps high-ranking members.

Whether it was the Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima, the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, or the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa, they were all dumbfounded, their eyes wide open and their mouths agape for a long time without them even realizing it.

Even Hina and Hinaka, who were explaining the contents of the picture to their father, were speechless with shock.

[Ring ring]

As the Den Den Mushi finished playing the video, a clear wind chime rang out from somewhere, and a gentle breeze blew into the hall, waking everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, Hina and Hinaka told Kagaya Ubuyashiki everything they had seen.

After a moment, the Master spoke.

"So you are from another world, and you came to our world to conquer?"

His voice still sounded light and cheerful, but with a noticeable heaviness in it, because what he actually wanted to say was the word 'aggression'.

However, the power and strength of the World Government forced him to be careful with his words.

"It should be said that we are inviting this world to join the World Government!"

Laskey emphasized the words "invitation" and "joining" because they sounded more acceptable.

"Now that Muzan Kibutsuji has disappeared from this world, and the 'Twelve Kizuki' have been wiped out, apart from those demons roaming outside, no new demons will appear in the future. So, shall the Demon Slayer Corps disband, taking your Breathing Technique and Swordsmanship with you, and disappear into the long river of history?"

"I suppose you're all unwilling? Then join us! The World Government will assign you to the most suitable departments based on your talents so you can continue to shine!"

After he finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on Kagaya Ubuyashiki's face, which was severely disfigured due to his illness.

"At the same time, our Medical Academy will definitely have a way to treat your illness, and even change the fate of your family, which is characterized by frail health and a lifespan of less than thirty years!"

Upon hearing this, both Kagaya Ubuyashiki's two daughters and the Pillars all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"That can't be right. Our Ubuyashiki Clan is cursed by the God because we are related to Muzan Kibutsuji by blood."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, however, was somewhat skeptical.

"Nothing is impossible. Whether it's a disease or a curse, the World Government will find a way to solve it. Why? Because we are the World Government!"

Then, Laskey looked at the blind Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima, and said, "Of course, your eyes are even easier for the Medical Academy to use."

This Gyomei Himejima deeply.

Laskey then addressed the other pillars, "As swordsmen, don't you want to learn more advanced Swordsmanship and greater power?"

"To put it bluntly, with your current strength, you're only at the level of an ordinary CIPHER POL member, while we have nearly ten thousand people!"

Then, he unleashed a devastating weapon.

"Also, are you interested in the scenery of other worlds? Are you interested in the ghosts and powerful beings of other worlds?"

"This"

As expected, warmongers like Kyojuro Rengoku, Tengen Uzui, Giyu Tomioka, and Sanemi Shinazugawa were deeply attracted.

Of course, there are also people like Mitsuri Kanroji and Shinobu Kocho who aren't particularly interested in improving their strength.

However, the former thought that she might find a husband stronger than herself in another world, while the latter thought about the various toxins, herbs, and medicines she had never seen in other worlds.

It must be said that the Otherworld is extremely alluring to most people because it represents all the unknown possibilities!

"If we choose to join, does that mean we have to go live in your world called Sea Star?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked, suppressing his excitement and maintaining a calm tone.

Why was he so agitated?

Not for myself, but for the future of the Ubuyashiki Clan!

"Certainly."

"The Medical Academy is in the Drum Kingdom of Sea Star; someone will make proper arrangements then."

After listening to Laskey's words, Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, pondered for a moment, and then gave his own answer.

"I'm sorry, we've received too much information and need some time to calm down. Could you give us a few days to discuss this?"

"Can."

Laskey pretended to think for a moment, then said, "How about three days?"

"Alright, then let's meet here again in Empress!"

With that, the World Government laid all its cards on the table with the Demon Slayer Corps. As night fell, Mumei arrived at Shinobu Kocho's house as previously agreed.

This is also the medical facility within the Demon Slayer Corps' logistical organization, providing treatment and rehabilitation for injured members. The nursing staff are mostly members without Swordsmanship skills, and are called the 'Butterfly Mansion'.

Here, Mumei saw Tanjiro again, but the latter was lying in bed asleep, while Nezuko sat quietly by his bedside.

That's how Nezuko is; Tenzo and comes out to sit next to her brother at night.

Because Nezuko cannot speak yet, Mumei is unable to communicate with her.

This left her quite disappointed; she wished she could have become friends with the other person.

"Ah~ so comfortable, it's been so long since I've been to a hot spring~~"

At this moment, Mumei, Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri Kanroji, and a quiet girl named Kanao Tsuyuri were gathered naked in a steaming hot spring.

This directly exposed the Blue Light Heart on the Mumei's chest to the three of them.

"Mumei, you."

Mitsuri Kanroji covered her mouth in shock, unable to speak, while Shinobu Kocho and her stepson Kanao were also filled with astonishment.

"Yes, I am Kabaneri, a being that is half human and half Kabaneri. Captain Guts and Horobi Sister, whom you saw earlier, are also Kabane. As for what Kabane is, that requires me to talk about my Ancestral World."

Mumei leaned against the stone wall at the edge of the hot spring, looking up at the starry sky, reminiscing about the past as he told his story.

Meanwhile, for the Demon Slayer Corps' higher-ups, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
