Chapter 491

Or perhaps they are simply quiet and reserved.

Even the most outgoing people are now incredibly solemn.

The waiting time was a bit agonizing.

But if they didn't even have this mindset, they wouldn't be pillars.

Anticipation, waiting.

Just wait.

[Artemis]: Okay~ I can come over now.

[Akina Nagisa]: Huh? So early? It's only 7 o'clock here. Wait a bit, I'll come over after I've washed up.

Mila: Me too, I'll be there in a bit.

[Kiana]: I'll be there soon.

Although the meeting time had been agreed upon long ago, today was the day.

But when the time actually came...

Some girls are still not ready.

But it doesn't matter.

Those who are quick on their feet should go first.

If it takes a little longer, then come back later.

Anyway, it's not a big deal.

Kanae Kocho simply noted down the girl who was about to arrive.

As for whether she might have to wait a while, she was already aware of that.

That's fine.

And in this short while...

It seemed that Kanae Kocho's expression had changed slightly.

Even though she couldn't see it, she could sense it, and couldn't help but gently ask with concern, "What's wrong, Kanae?"

"Are the gods unable to come?"

"..."

His voice was very soft.

Although she was very weak, she gave off a very warm feeling.

Upon hearing his words, the other pillars couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, and they also looked over with a sense of doubt.

Although they did not speak.

However, if the Deity from another world really can't come, it's impossible for them not to be disappointed after preparing for so long.

Although I wouldn't actually say anything.

They won't really stop trusting Kanae Kocho.

But for Kanae Kocho herself, wouldn't she feel a little embarrassed?

Fortunately, there's no need to worry about that.

She patiently explained, "In the organization I mentioned called the chat group, not all of them are gods, but the vast majority of them are indeed no different from gods to us."

"And it's not that they don't intend to come..."

She said.

"It's just that some of them might be a little later."

"A little later... it's okay. It's okay..."

The Lord smiled.

Shu Hu, he started coughing, "Cough cough! Cough..."

"Be the master!"

Are you alright?

The other pillars suddenly became a little nervous.

The Lord raised his hand slightly to stop them, saying, "It's alright."

"Anyway... cough cough, it's good that you came..." He looked at Kanae Kocho gently again.

We should have considered holding the banquet indoors.

However, without realizing it, there are already quite a lot of girls in the group.

If they all come.

Add a pillar.

The room felt rather cramped.

Considering it's still summer here, even at night, the gentle breeze makes it quite comfortable.

They simply set up the reception in the courtyard of the central atrium.

Even though the evening breeze wasn't very cool.

For the Demon Slayer Corps leader, who was already cursed and even terminally ill, it was clearly still a deadly burden.

The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, including Kanae Kocho, all advised their lord to go inside first.

It would be the same if he waited until everyone arrived before coming out to greet them, right?

However, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps still shook his head, somewhat stubborn.

He said that even if not all members of that organization were deities, they were still kind-hearted people willing to help them. They had received kindness from them; how could they possibly neglect them?

Even if the other party doesn't care about this.

Even many things are understandable.

But since he can still persevere, let him persevere a little longer.

"We've already made it through before. A little longer won't make a difference, will it?" The lord smiled gently.

The pillar beside him fell into a slight silence.

But just then...

A clear and gentle voice suddenly rang out.

It looked very abrupt.

They didn't detect any signs beforehand at all.

It was as if the other person was already within reach the moment you heard their voice.

This startled the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars, who, almost without distinction, felt their hair stand on end. As if by reflex, they instinctively shielded their Master in the center.

If they hadn't consciously controlled themselves, they almost had the prepared table overturned.

Even after they come to their senses.

That's when they saw it.

It turned out to be a stunningly beautiful girl with a slight smile.

Her long, purplish-blue hair was tied in a high ponytail.

They wore leather armor-like clothing, yet it was meticulously tailored, embellished, and decorated with simple patterns.

Tall and slender.

Yet, at first glance, it gives people a sense of holiness and purity.

Like the bright white moon in the sky.

It is gentle and noble, yet not fiery; loving and warm.

"This feeling is..."

"Gods?!"

"Is it... is it a deity?"

"..."

Please be aware.

In the setting of DanMachi World.

The gods who descend to the mortal realm naturally possess a certain aura.

Any ordinary person, upon seeing them, would immediately sense it without needing any explanation.

They are the gods.

It was as if, by some unseen force, like the resounding toll of a great bell, that this understanding was obtained without any doubt.

Just like common sense, it is the ultimate truth of humankind.

But nowadays...

It's almost a given.

The entire Demon Slayer Corps, as if by instinct, saw Artemis and immediately understood her nobility.

There were no more questions.

A god is a god.

That's her!

That is a higher level of existence that absolutely surpasses any mortal.

Ordinary people like them can hardly reach that level, no matter what.

PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!

478. Actually, the waters of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba are quite deep.

But now.

They had an audience with the gods.

I actually saw it.

Even if I had prepared myself mentally beforehand.

But only when they actually saw it did they realize what it felt like at that moment.

A merciful God, a kind God, a gentle God...

It seems that I unconsciously relaxed.

It seems that all the grievances I had suffered have been somewhat let go.

My emotions have been soothed considerably.

It's like facing a parent you can rely on.

At this moment.

Artemis smiled gently, her hands behind her back, gazing sweetly at the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, "Now that we're here, you don't need to worry anymore..."

"We'll take care of everything for you. Yes, everything will pass..."

"..."

To be honest.

If any other person came and said these things to you.
