This World Was Still Beautiful After All

The children, unaware of what had happened, grumbled, "What a spoilsport! The tea party was interrupted halfway through."

Yuxian a dark face and was in a bad mood. The matter of Muzan made him feel very unhappy.

"Wow! Master is angry. Is it because he didn't eat dinner?"

"I think so. I would be very unhappy too. Luckily we ate something just now, so we don't feel hungry now."

"Hmm, Master must be starving."

The children quickly noticed Yuxian's situation and began to whisper among themselves.

"Master, we still have some snacks here. Have some, don't be sad."

The children very thoughtfully handed Yuxian snacks.

Yuxian smiled, took the pastry, and took a bite, feeling much better.

These children really deserve to be loved.

"It's very late now. I asked the chef to make some late-night snacks. Everyone, eat and go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Minamoto no Raikō came over and invited everyone to go eat something.

Nothing was said that night.

The next day, my Zenitsu Agatsuma quickly finished breakfast and said goodbye to everyone.

"I need to go back to pay respects to my grandfather. I appreciate your care during these days."

He bowed and paid his respects.

After his battle with his senior brother during this trip to the Infinity Castle, he seemed to mature overnight and was no longer the Zenitsu he once was.

Yuxian asked, "The Demon Slayer Corps is no longer necessary. What are your plans for the future?"

After Muzan, all the demons he created disappeared, leaving the Demon Slayer Corps without a target, making disbandment inevitable.

"I will settle down near my grandfather's grave and slowly think about the future."

Zenitsu Agatsuma said earnestly, "Grandpa must also hope that I can live a good life, and I won't let him down."

Seeing that Zenitsu had really thought it through seriously, Yuxian felt relieved. This boy was stronger than he had imagined, and he was sure he would be able to overcome any difficulties he might encounter in the future.

After bidding Zenitsu Agatsuma went to Minamoto no Raikō alone to thank her.

"Thank you!"

Minamoto no Raikō smiled and nodded. This time, she no longer treated him like a child; he had grown up.

Zenitsu Agatsuma departed with the rising sun, embarking on his own journey. No one knows what the future holds for him, but we believe he will live a wonderful life.

Inosuke Hashibira, limping, kept asking Little Jack questions.

How do mothers take care of their children?

Will Mom hit me?

"Does Mom hate disobedient children?"

The questions left Little Jack a bit confused; she couldn't keep up with Inosuke's pace at all.

Back in the Infinity Castle, she was just talking to herself; that sentence wasn't meant to comfort or encourage Inosuke.

She blinked, tilted her head, and suddenly pointed at Yuxian was walking over.

"A mother is a mother."

Inosuke looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Yuxian, which puzzled him greatly.

"Shouldn't a mother be a woman? Why is she your mother?"

Little Jack replied, "Because he is my mother!"

Without waiting for Inosuke, she ran quickly to Yuxian's side and sweetly called out, "Mommy!"

Yuxian smiled, picked her up, rubbed her head, and asked affectionately, "Little Jack, is there something you need?"

Jack said, "That person keeps asking me about Mom, Jack I can't answer him. Can Mom go and tell him?"

Yuxian looked at Inosuke, then picked up Jack and walked over.

He called Inosuke to the eaves, and the two sat down side by side.

He wanted to talk to Inosuke, so he let go of Jack and let her go play with the other kids on her own.

"Are you missing your mother?" Yuxian asked softly.

Inosuke nodded; he missed his mother very much.

Ever since he learned that he had a mother, he had been thinking about her constantly, and he dreamed about her every night.

"The person who loves you more than herself is your mother."

Inosuke looked at Yuxian with a half-understanding, hoping he would say more.

"Your mother must want you to grow up happily. She may be a little slow, just like Doma said, but she loves you more than the whole world."

Yuxian paused for a moment and continued, "So you must strive to live on and live a wonderful life."

"That way, when you see your mother in heaven, you can tell her everything about yourself."

She will be proud of you.

After hearing Yuxian's words, Inosuke stood there, lost in thought.

Yuxian didn't disturb him, letting Inosuke think about it on his own. Some things are only understood by oneself, and outsiders can't explain them.

The next day, Inosuke did not appear at the restaurant during breakfast.

The children thought he was sleeping in, so they ran to his room after breakfast.

"Master, Master, he's gone!"

Soon the children ran out and handed Yuxian a note.

It read: I'm leaving. I'm going to find the most beautiful thing in the world and give it to my mother.

In just one sentence, Inosuke's unwavering determination and deep affection for his mother were revealed.

Yuxian smiled slightly, secretly wishing Inosuke: May you discover the most beautiful things in this world as you wish.

Because you already have it.

That's a mother's love!

Yuxian believes that when Inosuke travels the world, he will eventually discover that all the seemingly beautiful things are ultimately no match for his mother's love for him.

That is the purest, most selfless, and most dazzling thing in the world.

"And this, he didn't take with him."

The children took out a Boar Mask, which Inosuke had always worn as an accessory, and he had kept it.

"That was a gift he gave to you."

Yuxian smiled.

Although Inosuke is not good at expressing himself, he is ultimately a person full of emotions.

He had been playing with the children all this time, and he kept them in his heart, never forgetting them.

The reason he left the Boar Mask wasn't written down, but the meaning was obvious and clear at a glance.

"Really?"

The children are happy when they receive gifts.

"Then we'll forgive him for leaving without saying a word."

Time passed day by day.

Tamamo no Mae hasn't returned yet, and Tanjiro is very anxious. Nezuko is still in her demon form, Muzan is still alive.

The closer one gets, the more uneasy one becomes. Tanjiro is in that state now, constantly restless.

Yuxian, on the contrary, was not in a Muzan. Every day Muzan lived, he would suffer more pain, and this was the end he deserved.

He must be wailing loudly now, praying for death to come.

This time, Muzan is truly Muzan.

Chapter 56, Section 369: This World Is Still Beautiful After All

On a day when Tanjiro was filled with anxiety, Tamamo no Mae finally returned.

"Migu!"

"A major discovery for Little Tamamo!"

As soon as she arrived, she excitedly announced her research findings, her smug expression speaking volumes.

Everyone gathered around, waiting for her explanation to satisfy her vanity.

"After a very hard, arduous, and extremely difficult effort, Little Tamamo finally found a way to successfully control that demon."

Tamamo no Mae added countless adjectives to her actions to show how hard and difficult it was for her.

Yuxian smiled but remained silent.

Tamamo no Mae turned her gaze to him. "Master, would you like to give it a try?"

"You can try it if you're not afraid of getting ganged up on."

With so many people present, if Tamamo no Mae were to suddenly have the idea to experiment on Yuxian, she would definitely be ganged up on and beaten up by them, without a doubt.

Seeing that Yuxian wasn't fooled, Tamamo no Mae pouted, finding it uninteresting. She walked up to Nezuko and patted her head.

"Bear with it, it might hurt!"

Nezuko. She wasn't afraid of pain; as long as she could turn back into a human, she could endure even the slightest bit of pain.

She had long hoped to eat delicious food and play fun games like other children.

Even though the cloak allowed her to move freely, it was still inconvenient. She wanted to wear nice clothes instead of wearing a worn-out cloak all the time.

Having received Nezuko's reply, Tamamo no Mae began to skillfully perform her technique on her.

Her technique was so skillful it was heartbreaking; she must have tried it on Muzan countless times.

As Tamamo no Mae spell, Nezuko's face showed a pained expression, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her forehead.

But Nezuko didn't utter a sound, gritting her teeth and persevering, without even moving her body.

What a strong child.

Time passed by, and finally, to everyone's anticipation, Tamamo no Mae clapped her hands to indicate that she had finished.

"Thanks..."

Nezuko spoke with difficulty, her body still trembling slightly, clearly indicating that what she had just experienced was not just a little pain.

When she opened her mouth, Yuxian did not see the fangs that symbolized a ghost; instead, she had a set of clean, even teeth, just like an ordinary little girl.

Nezuko!

Tanjiro stepped forward and hugged her tightly, tears of joy streaming down his face.

"Elder brother..."

Nezuko gently wiped away Tanjiro's tears, revealing a big smile.

Yuxian said, "Tanjiro, why don't you take Nezuko to rest? She must be very tired."

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro immediately took Nezuko's hand and led her back to rest.

He was so excited that he forgot Nezuko had just turned back into a human and must be very weak.
