Sunlight Everywhere X I'll Make Sure This World Has No More Demons

Ubuyashiki Kagaya has adopted a very humble stance this time.

He is the core of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the pillar deep within the hearts of all Demon Slayer, including the Pillars.

In the original story, the battle in the Infinity Castle was made possible by his death. It was also his death that inspired all the Pillars, as well as Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, to fight Muzan to the Muzan.

His curtsy silenced all the Pillars, including Himejima Gyomei and Shinazugawa Sanemi...

Himejima Gyomei silently fiddled with his prayer beads, not far from him, in a corner of the wooden corridor, Giyu Tomioka, dressed in a red, yellow, and green haori, was Roy's senior among the Nine Pillars and the only one with whom he shared a deep bond. He watched all this quietly, and for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh.

He recalled that night at Mount Sagiri, Urokodaki Sakonji he, his master Sabito, his senior brother Sabito, his junior sister Makomo, and all their fellow disciples were worried about Eiichiro's temperament. They were certain then that Eiichiro would never kneel before their Master, but none of them could have imagined that one day... things would turn out the other way around. It was his Master... the current head of the Ubuyashiki Clan, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps who had fought Demon for nearly a thousand years, who knelt and solemnly bowed to the Sun-Earring Boy...

Giyu Tomioka couldn't help but wonder, if his master were here, would he take off that Tengu Mask to reveal a jaw-dropping face underneath?

Yes, Eiichiro has already cut off the mask...

Thoughts surged, causing a gentle breeze to caress my face...

Roy was dressed in white, in a coarse linen shirt, with a green and black Ichimatsu Pattern Haori draped over his shoulders, just as he had when he left home. On his feet were the Wisteria Shoes that his mother, Kie, had sewn stitch by stitch. He reached out and, with a swift movement, grabbed the arm of Ubuyashiki Kagaya, preventing him from actually bowing down.

"Master Kagaya, we are merely business partners; there's no need for such formalities."

"It used to be a collaboration, but now," Ubuyashiki Kagaya looked intently at the Sun-Earring Boy and smiled, "I think Lord Eiichiro is more suitable to lead the Demon Slayer Corps than I am."

"Cough cough cough..." Perhaps because the bending over was too vigorous, or perhaps because his emotions were too turbulent, Ubuyashiki Kagaya only managed to say two words before he couldn't stop coughing again.

Amane promptly pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to him. Ubuyashiki Kagaya took it and wiped his mouth, where a faint stain of blood was visible...

Roy subtly channeled a layer of Nen Qi, flowing along his arm and through his limbs and bones. He frowned; he had anticipated that Ubuyashiki Kagaya's body would be weak, but he hadn't expected it to be this bad... His internal organs were weak, his Blood Qi depleted, and his heart was like an old car engine, worn down by time and countless kilometers of driving—no matter how much fuel he added, it wouldn't start. Even...

Unlike in the original story, the other party doesn't self-destruct; I estimate they won't live for more than two years.

"Coughing..." The Nen Qi flowed into the body of the Ubuyashiki Kagaya, like a babbling brook.

The Demon Slayer Corps leader, who had been bedridden for years, was startled, feeling a sudden warmth within his body, helping him fight against the chill... Ubuyashiki Kagaya's nearly blind eyes trembled slightly, and he smiled at Roy, saying, "I've finally personally experienced Eiichiro's wonders."

Is this warm current "Divine Power"?

Ubuyashiki Kagaya savored the power, feeling its warmth like spring, unlike himself who had been ravaged by the [Curse] and was now old and frail. He said with a touch of envy, "May I let Lord Eiichiro know that I did not choose to relinquish the leadership on a whim?"

"Very well, with your methods, you may have already discovered that I don't have much time left to live."

Roy channeled his Nen Qi along Ubuyashiki Kagaya's veins and meridians, continuing to flow deep into his heart, and said gently, "Just call me Eiichiro."

Ubuyashiki Kagaya nodded. With Roy's Nen Qi boost, he seemed to have more strength to speak. His white eyes swept around, taking in the nine Pillars— Giyu Tomioka Himejima Gyomei, Shinazugawa Sanemi, Uzui Tengen —before speaking again, "To be honest, Lord Eiichiro, actually... I've wanted to die for a long time... If I die, I won't be tormented by this Curse anymore..."

"But it's easy to die, but hard to live on... I don't care if I die, but I can't accept that my children and my descendants will continue to be Curse, generation after generation, not living past 30. They clearly have a bright future ahead of them, they could see a wider world, even if they die of old age like ordinary people, at least... in my eyes, that would be happiness."

T

"It's all because of Muzan Kibutsuji, because he alone caused my entire clan to suffer. I can't tolerate this; I must kill him!"

"And you..." Ubuyashiki Kagaya tightly grasped Roy's hand and said sincerely, "You are my hope, the hope of millions of people in this world like me, whose families Muzan Kibutsuji!"

"My Master..." Himejima Gyomei his hands together, tears streaming down his face. The children he had protected since childhood had died.

"My Master..." Shinazugawa Sanemi banged his head on the ground, his eyes contorted in a rage. His parents had died. "My Master..." Kochou Shinobu's beautiful eyes rippled with emotion, tears welling in them. Her sister had died.

Next was Uzui Tengen, Tokito Muichiro, Obanai Iguro, Kanroji Mitsuri... and then Giyu Tomioka, who lost his sister, Sabito, Makomo, and many of his fellow disciples...

Because of Ubuyashiki Kagaya's words, which exposed their own wounds... a sorrowful atmosphere spread... Apart from the nine pillars, every single member of the "Hidden" organization present, including members of other departments of the Demon Slayer Corps, had a deep-seated blood feud with demons and Muzan!

Roy watched and listened quietly, controlling his Nen Qi to penetrate Ubuyashiki Kagaya's heart. He thought of Kurapika, of Kurajing. The Kurta Clan had been wiped out, leaving only the Blonde Boy on a path of revenge. Just hearing the word "spider" was enough to make him lose his composure, almost causing him to kill Majitani, disguised as a spider, during the Hunter Exam ... Roy remained silent, his hand twitching, only to be tightly gripped by Ubuyashiki Kagaya's left hand. "I'm not saying this to gain sympathy. I just want to tell you... I've never been so serious before."

Ubuyashiki Kagaya took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness, "Kiriya still too young to shoulder such a great responsibility. Eiichiro's abilities are beyond my reach." Ubuyashiki Kagaya to the Gate of Opening, "As their leader, I can right now stand here and make decisions for Gyomei and Sanemi, urging them to switch allegiance to Lord Eiichiro and worship the sun as a god, as long as... they can become stronger, and increase their chances of defeating Muzan Kibutsuji."

"With his back to Himejima Gyomei, Ubuyashiki Kagaya and said, " Gyomei here, kneel down, and pay your respects to Lord Eiichiro."

"Amitabha~" Himejima Gyomei, his head crashing down as he knelt at Roy's feet, burying his face in the ground, and said, "Himejima Gyomei greets Lord Eiichiro."

[Hint: "Potential Believer" Himejima Gyomei... Loyalty +10...]

[Loyalty can be further increased through "Grace," triggering the "Officialization" condition and granting a medal to become a formal Believer...]

..]

Roy's eyes flickered, his emotions surging with complexity. Himejima Gyomei, then said helplessly to Ubuyashiki Kagaya, "You're not switching allegiances, you're entrusting your son to someone else..."

He still brought such a large group of people to entrust their children to him... Even without using [Madoka] to capture everyone's thoughts, Roy could clearly see from the corner of his eye that the gazes of the Pillars Transformation drastically as Himejima Gyomei. One can imagine just how powerful the impact of the Stone Hashira's bow was on everyone!

"Swish..." Rengoku Kyojuro quickly flipped through the thin book and finally came to his senses.

The young man, with blond hair tinged with red at the ends, noticed this scene and was moved, a thought of "this is how it should be" suddenly arising in his mind... He took a step forward and silently came to Roy's side, standing a step behind him, and stopped.

"The leader should be the most capable." Ubuyashiki Kagaya's gaze passed over Roy's shoulder, "looking" at Kyojuro behind him, and he said frankly, "Hindering the growth of subordinates is the greatest dereliction of duty for a leader."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "I was just going with the flow."

"Sanemi."

"Exist."

"Kneel down and pay your respects to Lord Eiichiro."

"Yes."

Shinazugawa Sanemi rose with his head bowed, Himejima Gyomei's side, removed his sword, and with a loud thud, slammed his forehead heavily onto the ground, burying his face in the earth. He said in a muffled voice, "I have offended you greatly before, and I hope Eiichiro will forgive me... I am Shinazugawa Sanemi, and I pay my respects to Lord Eiichiro, who is worthy to be the master of the sun."

[Hint: "Potential Believer" Shinazugawa Sanemi... Loyalty +5...]

Loyalty can be further increased through "Grace"...

5 points? The "Officialization" condition wasn't triggered with the Stone Hashira... Roy glanced at Shinazugawa Sanemi without showing any emotion, then smiled at the Ubuyashiki Kagaya, and said, "He can't speak such elegantly; you must have taught him."

Ubuyashiki Kagaya smiled but remained silent. Shinazugawa Sanemi buried his head in the ground, feeling his face burning. He even considered burying his entire body in the ground to avoid further embarrassment... Little did he know, those 5 points of "loyalty" had already surprised Roy.

Not everyone can immediately change their stance, especially when there's lingering resentment...

"Kyojuro,"

"Exist."

"Help them both up." Roy called out to Kyojuro, then glanced at Uzui Tengen Tokito Muichiro before saying to the remaining people, "You are not allowed to bow either, especially... Senior Brother."

Roy deliberately raised his voice to remind Giyu Tomioka, then turned around to look at everyone, calmly looking at Ubuyashiki Kagaya and saying, "If you have good intentions, I certainly won't pretend I didn't see them."

But I still stand by my opinion.

The Sun-Earring Boy said, word by word, "The Demon Slayer Corps still needs you to lead it."

"Eiichiro..." Ubuyashiki Kagaya his mouth, but was interrupted by Roy raising a hand.

"Whatever you want to say, wait until I remove the [Curse] from you."

What?!

"Kamado Eiichiro, can you remove the Curse from my Master's body?!" Shinazugawa Sanemi suddenly jumped up from the ground!

He stared at Roy in disbelief. Just as he stood up, covered in dust, a large hand pressed down on the back of his head. With a "bang," he was forced back to his knees. At that moment, a roar from the Stone Hashira made everyone's eardrums tremble!

"Shinazugawa Sanemi, you've gone too far!"

"Call me Lord Eiichiro!"

Himejima Gyomei's thick forearms were almost as long as a person's thighs. His blind eyes glared like an angry Vajra. He looked up and met Roy's gaze, asking with heavy breathing, "Lord Eiichiro, Forgive his rudeness, but... is what you said true?"

"Eiichiro -sama... Eiichiro- sama...

According to Uzui Tengen... according to Tokito Muichiro... according to Kochou Shinobu... Obanai Iguro... Rengoku Kyojuro, and even...

Even Giyu Tomioka, unusually, straightened his back and softly called out, "Junior brother."

In that instant, the air inside the room was like a calm pond, suddenly struck by a bomb dropped on it in public. The explosion sent sprays of water everywhere... It was virtually impossible for the room to return to its previous tranquil state...

"Thump,"

"Eiichiro, please save my husband!"

Ubuyashiki... He stared blankly as his wife, Amane, buckled at the knees and bowed deeply to Roy, followed by the sounds of her daughters, Hinaki Nichika, bowing in worship behind her...

The man who had always been so composed—even on the day he led his wife and daughter to their deaths, facing Muzan's arrival and the detonation of the bomb—had never once frowned. His lips trembled as he looked at Roy, uttering "Heh... heh..." sounds, but he couldn't form a complete sentence. Clearly... he had lost his usual composure and tranquility...

Like a stream, the "Nen Qi" eventually reached Ubuyashiki Kagaya's heart. In that nearly parched and cracked heart, Roy keenly sensed a dark aura constantly gnawing at and absorbing Ubuyashiki Kagaya's Blood Qi, just like the "Negative Emotions" that had once clung to him and Yinda, relentlessly devouring Ubuyashiki Kagaya's Life Energy...

It can be killed by a single shot...

The Sun-Earring Boy nodded and said, "Call out Kiriya, Kanata, Kuina, all of you. I'll take care of you all at once."

The resounding "thud" of a heavy weight being lifted echoed throughout the room, bringing the almost stagnant air back to life...

"Amitabha." With a single Buddhist chant, Himejima Gyomei wept uncontrollably... He kowtowed, bowing his head to the ground, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Eiichiro."

"Thump... thump... thump..." Several soft thuds of knees hitting the ground rang out...

Aside from Shinazugawa Sanemi, who was already completely submissive, Uzui Tengen, Kochou Shinobu, Tokito Muichiro... including Rengoku Kyojuro, and even... Giyu Tomioka, all knelt down, sincerely thanking him, "Thank you, Lord Eiichiro."

Just then, Roy heard the notification sound from the control panel.

[Hint: "Potential Believer" Himejima Gyomei, "Loyalty" +15, has triggered the "Officialization" condition. Please confer the title.]

[Hint: "Potential Believer" Shinazugawa Sanemi, "Loyalty" +20, has triggered the "Officialization" condition, please confer the title.]

[Hint... Hint... Hint...]

At this midday sun...

After repeatedly expressing her gratitude, Ubuyashiki Amane went to the inner courtyard and led out several of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's children, including Kiriya Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

Roy whispered, "Praise the sun, and you'll be instantly killed!"

With a thought, he channeled his "Nen Qi" into countless Light Sword wreathed in Solar Flame, which suddenly charged towards the black Curse lurking within the heart of the Ubuyashiki Kagaya...

Infinity Castle.

Muzan Kibutsuji felt a sharp pain in his heart and collapsed to his knees with a thud, startling Nakime koto strings snapped...
