[Prompt... Your Believer Obanai Iguro... Uzui Tengen... Kanroji Mitsuri... Tokito Muichiro... Shinazugawa Sanemi... Ubuyashiki Kagaya...]
And... a few Believer, the children of Ubuyashiki, Kyojuro's younger brother, Kanao of the Butterfly Mansion... all awaiting official Officialization... Roy steps into the world of Demon Slayer, looks up to see the sun shining brightly, spring turning into summer, a scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers, and smiles slightly... Returning to this familiar place, his mindset is completely different now, there is nostalgia, there is reminiscence, but more than anything... ease and relaxation...
At one moment, the Sun-Earring Boy stretched out a hand and gestured towards the sky... "Caw!" A crow flew over, dropping a black feather, and a letter in its beak landed on the back of his hand. It was from Ubuyashiki.
"After such a long separation, I hope Lord Eiichiro is well?"
"Grateful for Lord Eiichiro's teachings and guidance, Kagaya, along with his wife, daughter, and son, pays his respects once again."
"I dare to inform you, sir, that Upper Rank Two is dead. The Demon of this world are nearly extinct, now only... Upper Rank One and that Demon King, Kibu, have prevented Muzan from Muzan, therefore..."
"Kagaya has discussed with the Pillars that Hashira Meeting will be held this month on Qingming Festival to discuss the important matter of exorcising the demon. At that time... if Lord Eiichiro is available, we hope you will not hesitate to grace us with your presence. Kagaya and the Pillars will certainly welcome you with open arms and would be extremely pleased."
"In haste, I could not express everything. Respectfully presented by my wife, daughter, son, and all the pillars of the family, along with my proud son and all the Ubuyashiki Kagaya."
"Whoosh~" A flame emerged from Roy's fingertip, burning the letter to ashes. The Sun-Earring Boy lowered his eyes and smiled faintly at the raven, "Go back and tell your master that I already know what he said."
"I will not attend this meeting. We will meet again after I have killed the Demon King."
He released his grip, letting the Messenger Crow soar high into the sky... He looked up at the heavens again, watching it disappear into the distance, then lifted his foot, stroked his sword, and walked slowly. His thoughts drifted with the wind, like the wings of a roc spreading across the heavens, and he murmured softly, "So this is Qingming Festival."
The rain falls in torrents during the Qingming Festival, and travelers on the road are heartbroken... But Demon Slayer, there is no rain, only the bright sky and blazing sun, leaving Demon with no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth, only the path of death!
The Sun-Earring Boy narrowed his eyes, his body instantly "Photokinesis," merging into the light... In a flash, he vanished into the distance... He recklessly searched for Demon along the way, attempting to locate the Infinity Castle through the ghost blood contained within them, using [Targeted Tracking Technique], but unexpectedly...
We're almost at Kyoto!
Just as Ubuyashiki Kagaya said in the letter, the Demon were nearly wiped out after the Demon Slayer Corps, which had been strengthened, launched a ruthless sweep!
He didn't encounter a single one along the way. Whether it was just bad luck or the Demon Slayer Corps being particularly ruthless lately, for an ordinary family yearning for a peaceful life, this was undoubtedly a good thing.
"Tap... tap..." Footsteps sounded, and Roy revealed himself in a deserted, secluded alley. Emerging from the alley, he was greeted by a bustling main street, teeming with pedestrians, lively shouts, and a scene of prosperity. He walked unhurriedly, letting his fiery hair sway gently in the wind, and glanced up at a stall. A curtain hung at the entrance, and several low tables and stools were arranged on either side, selling udon noodles...
The man was momentarily dazed, but immediately recognized the other person... It was the same Udon Shop Owner from the original story, the one Tanjiro encountered when he first arrived in Kyoto, was tricked by Muzan, and ultimately ate two large bowls of noodles in anger...
"Want some noodles, Sun-Earring Boy?" The curtain swayed in the breeze, revealing a corner. The young Udon Shop Owner grinned and saw Roy, calling out, "Just Gate of Opening! Freshly made broth, smells amazing!"
Roy smiled broadly, "Since you've said so, then I'll definitely give it a try."
"Okay, please have a seat."
Roy nodded and casually sat down at a low table. "Boss, ten bowls."
"... How... how much?" The boss popped his head out.
Roy made a ten-pointing gesture and repeated, "Ten bowls,"
He then pulled out some silver coins from his pocket and slammed them on the table. "More is acceptable, less is not."
The shop owner froze for a couple of seconds, then his eyes widened the moment he saw the money. He tossed the towel over his shoulder, grinned, and said, "Alright!" before getting back to work at his stall...
Roy sat quietly at the low table, watching him cook the noodles. He blanched the vegetables, added a slice of char siu, garnished it with half a soft-boiled egg, and finally drizzled on a little soy sauce. His movements were fluid and effortless, all done in one go. He called out loudly, "The noodles are here!"
I picked up my chopsticks and took a small bite. The flavor was a bit bland, but it still retained the original taste of the food. The seasoning was just right. I praised, "Boss, the pork bone broth is excellent."
The shopkeeper was taken aback. He hadn't expected Roy, who looked so young, to be such a connoisseur of food. He brought out another bowl of noodles, casually pulled up a stool, and sat down opposite Roy, chuckling, "This soup was simmered for four hours over low heat. I wouldn't have dared to do this before." "How so?"
"It's safe now." The shopkeeper rubbed the sweat from his brow with the corner of a towel and said casually, "The security in Kyoto has improved a lot recently. Before, there were always disappearances, which was really scary, so I didn't dare to work too late at night. It's only recently... that I haven't heard of anyone going missing, so I've become a bit bolder..."
At that time, after a long day of travel, the sun was setting and the moon was rising... A ray of Moonlight shone down, adding a touch of hazy beauty to this bustling city...
Roy slurped his noodles, listening to the noodle shop owner's rambling monologue. His thoughts drifted, and a phrase involuntarily came to mind. "Behind every prosperity and stability, there is always a group of people silently contributing."
Without hesitation, he devoured eleven bowls of noodles in front of the shopkeeper's astonished gaze before rising to his feet, leaning on his sword, and leaving. "Sun-Earring Boy, you gave too much," the shopkeeper hurriedly called out to Roy, tossing the coins on the table in his hand.
Roy didn't stop walking, waving his hand across the stall with his back to them. "Not much, one for you, one for Ping An."
One portion, the peace and safety that the Demon Slayer Corps worked tirelessly for behind the scenes. Of course, he himself also received a share.
"This..." A Youyou evening breeze dispelled the summer heat, and the shop owner was stunned. On the low table in front of him sat eleven empty bowls, filled with moonlight, and also filled with the grandeur of this prosperous world...
After a long pause, he scratched his head and said, "Strange, long-standing family tradition..."
The man cleared away the dishes and returned to his stall, just as Roy disappeared into the crowd, finding a dark alleyway and walking in... Now, having arrived in Kyoto, and having met the noodle stall owner, Roy stopped at the end of the alley. Seeing that the intersection in front of him was blocked by a thick brick wall, he smiled and said, "Yushiro, since you have already discovered me, why not show yourself?"
Night deepens... Away from the hustle and bustle of the streets, all is quiet.
Roy, draped in a cloak adorned with Moonlight Banner, stood leaning on his sword, maintaining a smile, waiting quietly...
Separated by a wall, a Sun-Earring Boy with swaying blue bangs and slanted eyebrows, exuding a Sun-Earring Boy yet cynical "angry youth" vibe, wore wooden clogs and a large robe over a shirt, meticulously groomed. He looked up at Roy outside the wall with a gloomy gaze, his hands involuntarily twisting together, his eyes filled with wariness, remaining silent and waiting...
Roy asked suspiciously, "Could I have seen wrong?"
With a single step, he turned and left...
Yushiro had just relaxed and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but then... just as he was about to turn around, his body suddenly stiffened. An arm had unexpectedly climbed onto his shoulder and firmly restrained him!
"[Eye Concealment] is indeed a good Blood Demon Art, but,"
Roy transformed into a firefly, stepping out of the moonlight and appearing behind Yushiro. He rested his head on Yushiro's shoulder and said casually, "Sometimes, what you see isn't necessarily the truth."
What do you think?
"Kamado Eiichiro!" Yushiro's body stiffened, his limbs turned ice-cold, and he stiffly turned his neck, staring at him in horror, saying, "How... how did you get in?!"
"It's not that I wanted to come in, it's that you trusted your eyes too much!" A crimson light appeared in Roy's pupils, from which three jet-black magatama slowly emerged... The instant he collided with the magatama, Yushiro felt as if he were sucked in, along with his relied-upon [Eye Concealment]... pierced by Roy's resounding sword strike, turning into a wisp of talisman fluttering in the wind at the tip of the blade...
[Eye Concealment]: A Blood Demon Art linked to the limits of vision. When activated, it can easily obscure the vision of others, confuse them, and mislead them into seeing things that are not normally visible.
The key to its activation lies in two aspects: first, the use of talismans; second, the creation of visual illusions. Some of its characteristics are similar to "Illusion Jutsu techniques," making it extremely practical. In the original work, it was precisely through Yushiro's [Blood Demon Art] that Tanjiro, Agatsuma Zenitsu, the Pillars, and others were able to infiltrate the Infinity Castle under the command of Kagaya's Kiriya, Kiriya, and thus kill Doma, Kokushibo, and... Muzan, among others.
However, when it comes to "Illusion Jutsu), the Sharingan is undoubtedly an insurmountable obstacle!
Leaving aside overpowered Illusion Jutsu like "Infinite Tsukuyomi," "Kotoamatsukami," and "Izanagi," even ordinary Illusion Jutsu activated by the Sharingan are beyond the capabilities of Illusion Jutsu Jonin like Yuhi Kurenai, let alone... [Eye Concealment], let alone... Yushiro!
Yushiro fell silent... Roy was right, he had indeed trusted his eyes too much, but before this, no one had ever been able to see through his [Eye Obstruction] so easily!
In other words... as long as it wasn't Roy he encountered, even if it were someone else, even a Pillar, he was confident that the other party wouldn't notice him in a short time! "What do you want to do?" After a long while, Yushiro took a deep breath and calmed down.
Miss Tamayo is in the villa right behind him. He absolutely must... and must keep her calm, giving Tamayo time and a chance to escape... Now he can only hope that Miss Tamayo will leave as soon as she realizes her [Eye Obstruction] has been broken!
However, obsessive and pure love often blinds one's eyes... Before Roy could answer, the villa door behind him creaked open, and a woman in a deep purple kimono, with a gentle and beautiful face and soft eyes, stepped out...
The moment she appeared, she bowed deeply to Roy and said, "Eiichiro, I apologize for offending you. Please calm down and come inside for a chat."
"Miss Tamayo!" Yushiro's shoulders jerked violently, his fangs bared, and he instantly transformed into a demon. His shoulder and arm were ripped apart by his brutal act, ignoring the pain, the blood, and the muffled groans, he roared, "I'll hold him off! You run!"
With his only remaining arm, he clenched his fist and punched Roy!
The sudden, decisive action startled Roy, who dodged aside!
"Thud!" The severed arm fell to the ground... Yushiro's punch missed, but he turned around and stood in front of Tamayo, glaring fiercely at Roy!
Roy fell silent. Without a word, he reached out and picked up Yushiro's severed arm, which had fallen to the ground. He looked at the man and woman in front of the villa with a complex mix of admiration and helplessness. Finally, he tossed Yushiro's severed arm back to the two of them...
"Since you know me, you must also know that my blade has never lacked Demon..."
In other words, Roy gently stroked the [Eclipse] sword, then with a backhand strike shattered the talisman on its tip, sheathing the blade. He then looked up at the master and servant, saying calmly, "If I wanted to kill you, you would probably be lying down now, not standing..."
"Who knows you..."
"Yushiro!" Tamayo called out gently, stopping the Sun-Earring Boy with the green hair.
She stepped out from behind Yushiro, curtsied, and bowed again to Roy, saying, "Eiichiro, you flatter me. Yushiro meant no harm; he was merely protecting me."
"I can see that," Roy's indifference vanished, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Love often makes people lose their minds, it's understandable." "You... hand me..." Yushiro's face flushed instantly. He clearly wanted to Roy, but felt inexplicably comfortable, so he simply stiffened his neck and glared at Roy.
Seeing his awkward demeanor, Tamayo breathed a slight sigh of relief, and her heart also calmed down.
It's not recklessness that's scary, it's recklessness without considering the target... Tamayo straightened her back, gazing intently at Roy's long, fiery red hair swaying in the wind, and extended a hand to open the door, saying, "Eiichiro, please."
Roy, without hesitation, transformed into moonlight, flashing once, then flashing again, and appeared beside Tamayo in the blink of an eye. Then... under the stunned and bewildered gazes of the master and servant, he casually found a seat and sat down.
Tamayo and Yushiro exchanged a quick glance, both seeing a hint of shock in each other's eyes!
Kamado Eiichiro was right. If... he had any murderous intent, judging from the methods he had just displayed... Tamayo and Yushiro knew that even if they wanted to run, they would find it difficult to escape his grasp, after all...
What incredible close-combat skills are these?!
Does he think he is... light?
Yushiro felt his heart pounding uncontrollably!
"Bang! Bang bang!"
It was a twisted mix of excitement and fear... and an uncontrollable sense of guilt and dread. Fortunately,
Tamayo seemed to sense his emotions and gently patted his back to comfort him, saying, "Go inside and put the severed arm back on first."
The man followed first, gracefully entering, and Fu offered Roy a hot cup;...
"Eiichiro, please have some tea, and also... please point..."
If it weren't for murder, Tamayo couldn't think of any other reason why this person would come knocking on her door...
"Miss Tamayo, you're too kind."
"Simple!" Roy took a sip of tea and Gate of Opening point. "I've come here to do two things!"
The Sun-Earring Boy held up two fingers, smiling as he looked at Tamayo and Yushiro, saying, "What you can't do, I'll do; what you can't kill, I'll kill... on the condition that..."
"Please lend me the blood of Muzan from your bodies!"
The Demon were wiped out, but thankfully, two good demons remained... and they were rare species that had managed to break free from Muzan's control on their own!
The panel opens... [Targeted Tracking Technique] lies quietly in the skill bar... eager to be used...
