I Want the Sun to Shine on All the Land × I Want Demons to Have Nowhere to Hide

"Master, I think it's time to begin the next stage of my studies."

The crimson glow faded, Short Blade returned to its original form, which Roy deftly sheathed with a swift draw.

[Hint: Swordsmanship +70]

The flames subsided, leaving behind scorched ground and burning birch trees... Urokodaki Sakonji at the Sun-Earring Boy, his mind replaying the image of that slash that broke through the fog to reveal the light, an image he would probably never forget until his death.

"Have you reached your limit?" The master hadn't forgotten his disciple's words. Roy had said to learn the Breathing Style Urokodaki Sakonji respected his idea and had been waiting... Sabito and Makomo leaped down and came to the old man's side, one on the left and one on the right. The young man and woman came to their senses and looked at Roy with bright eyes. Even though they had been shocked time and time again, their eyes still couldn't hide their shock.

Genius cannot be judged by conventional standards; the exhilarating feeling of constantly having one's understanding challenged fills the heart...

Sabito said with burning eyes, "Eiichiro, I agree with your idea."

The fox- Sun-Earring Boy watched as the mist gathered, blocking the sunlight from entering the forest, and said Youyou, "Mount Sagiri can no longer contain you, and you... deserve a wider world."

"Whether you take up a knife to slay demons or travel the mountains, if you go to Mount Fujikasane and avenge us, please be sure to carry our share and live a brilliant life..."

"And me too~" Makomo smiled, her beautiful eyes curving into two crescent moons. "That thing chewed me so hard, don't let it get away with it, slice it piece by piece!"

Seito glanced at her, wondering why she hadn't seen Makomo so ruthless before. But inwardly, she wholeheartedly agreed with her idea.

A ghost is a ghost; it doesn't deserve sympathy.

"Alright." Roy spoke succinctly, silently keeping these words in mind. After undergoing a round of "Red Sun Heart Refining," the Sun-Earring Boy looked at Urokodaki Sakonji, his eyes filled with a lingering charm and a touch of nonchalance. "May I let Master know that I harbored selfish motives before, always wanting to surpass myself, at least not to be inferior to some others..."

The image of Netero flashed through my mind...

The Sun-Earring Boy said, "Now I want to go out, taking myself and my heart with me, and step into this vast world."

"Doing more, gaining more knowledge, and saving more lives will always be good, as it reduces the number of Demon in the world."

"Of course," Roy smiled, revealing a row of pearly teeth, "If we have the chance to kill the Demon King, and let the sunlight shine on a place where no Demon dare to haunt, I think that when I come back to pay respects to my senior brothers and sisters, I'll have some face left, and won't be the subject of gossip..."

"Well, Eiichiro, you've been snitching on us while we were gone, haven't you...?"

"When that day comes, you don't need to say anything, just have Fukuda perform a 'suicide' act to celebrate!"

"That's not impossible, I'll just kill you all along!"

"Whoosh~" A cold wind swept through, causing the branches to sway... Shinsuke and Fukuda flew in, one on the left and one on the right, each placing an arm on the Sun-Earring Boy's shoulder. Behind them were Shimizu, Watanabe, Kujo, and a group of senior brothers and sisters...

At that moment, the sun was setting, and through the Kirigakure, a faint red glow could be seen on the horizon...

Urokodaki Sakonji listened quietly to the Sun-Earring Boy's words. Even without the aid of "Nen," he knew that everyone was there...

It's good that everyone's here... It's good that everyone's here...

The old man gave the Sun-Earring Boy a deep look. "Wait for me at the waterfall first thing tomorrow morning."

He walked Snow Walk.

The Tengu Mask was left in the forest. He had a premonition that soon he, his retired old friends, and millions of ordinary people around the world would no longer have to hide and live in the shadow of Demon.

As his disciple said, "The sun will eventually Dispelling Darkness."

"Tap... tap..." The footsteps faded into the distance...

Night fell, and everything was pitch black.

Three days' journey still to Mount Sagiri, a Sun-Earring Boy gripped the hilt of his sword and raced through the moonlight, eager to return home.

He had a pair of sea-blue eyes, long black hair tied in a low ponytail, and his black Demon Slayer Corps uniform was simply bound by a white sash. Two haori, one red and one yellow and green, were draped behind him, swaying in the wind as he ran quickly. Giyu Tomioka was moving forward!

Once an order is accepted, it must be carried out to the end; that is the mission.

A new junior brother came into view, which piqued my curiosity.

Testing his talent, a thought lingered in his mind, this was anticipation... Giyu's taciturn and aloof face lay hope for this journey, yet also trepidation and hesitation. He feared disappointment, and worried about not returning for the New Year and incurring his master's reprimand. In short, his heart remained restless...

On the other hand, the person he had been waiting for quietly enjoyed a sumptuous wild boar feast with the person he cared about. Then, accompanied by the gentle breeze and the bright moon, he lay fully clothed on the kang (a heated brick bed) and drifted off to sleep.

The familiar feeling of falling returned as Roy left the Demon Slayer world, stepped across the Sea of Cognition, traversed the Dream Passage, and returned to the Hunter world. The sky outside the airship window had already brightened.

From a high altitude, one can clearly see the red sun leaping out of the sky.

Roy slept until six in the morning, which was quite unusual.

He got out of bed and, as usual, washed up and went for a morning run. His toothpaste and water cup had already been prepared by Gotoh.

The young butler glanced at the Sun-Earring Boy: "Young Master is in a good mood today."

Normally, even if no one wakes him up, his biological clock at four in the morning will usually wake him up.

But perhaps because the Negative Emotions hidden deep inside him were expelled, Roy felt more comfortable and happy than ever before, and thus slept a little longer than usual.

"It's alright." A slight smile played on the Sun-Earring Boy's lips as he began running around the airship, finally rushing to the deck. He opened his arms to embrace the sunlight, closed his eyes, and savored the rare moment of tranquility. Then, a phone call shattered the peace...

"It's a call from home. Young Master Illumi ran away without informing his family. His destination is the Hunter Exam."

Gotoh hung up the phone and looked at Roy cautiously. "Master instructed that the Young Master should keep an eye on Young Master Illumi, lest someone kill him."

"Did someone else kill him, or did he kill someone else?" the Sun-Earring Boy sneered.

Gotoh:

Considering Illumi's Young Master, it's hard to say what will happen.

When I looked up again, the Young Master was nowhere to be seen.

I quickly took a few steps and caught up.

"Ring ring... Ring ring..."

"Attention passengers, this flight is about to arrive at Saherta United States Narita Airport States of America. Please make sure you have checked your belongings and prepare to disembark..."

At 8:00 AM, the airship arrived in the Saherta United States.

After leaving the airport, we took a ferry. On the deck, a master and his servant stood one after the other. In less than an hour, an island shaped like a whale came into view in the distance...

It is an "entrance" to the Hunter Exam and the place where the entire Hunter story unfolds. Roy, with the sea breeze blowing and his bangs swaying, thought of Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio. A moment later, separated by ten years, he stepped onto this land where his dream began.
