Return / Honest Folkways, Declining Morals

Seeing Tanjiro's resolute expression, Yuxian stopped trying to persuade him, for everyone has their own way of living.

Abundance does not necessarily bring happiness.

"This cloak..."

Tanjiro took out a neatly folded cloak. This cloak, which allowed Nezuko to be unafraid of sunlight when she was a demon, was clearly a treasure.

He dared not keep such a precious thing and hoped to return it to Yuxian.

Yuxian shook his head and said very seriously, "This is a gift from the children to Nezuko. There's no reason for a gift to come back again."

"Exactly, exactly! Who asks for a gift back after giving it away? Are you stupid?"

Little Jeanne immediately nodded in agreement with Yuxian's words.

How could the children possibly take back the cloak? Perhaps Tanjiro sees it as a treasure, but in the children's hearts, it is far less important than their feelings for Nezuko.

"Please accept this; it represents the friendship between the children and Nezuko," Yuxian said with a smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Tanjiro stopped insisting and put his cloak away again.

Nezuko... we can't bear to part with you...

The children looked at Nezuko with sad expressions, reluctant to part with her.

Nezuko reached out and patted their heads, then took out several dolls from behind her.

"These are for you."

These dolls look quite new; Nezuko must have been working on them in the last few days.

Nezuko, who was skilled at sewing, sewed these dolls based on the image of each child.

Each child received a small cloth doll, and they happily accepted Nezuko's gift.

"Wow! Nezuko, you're amazing! This looks just like us!" Gretel exclaimed.

Yuxian glanced over and noticed that her doll was the most complex, but Nezuko still made it very much like Gretel.

With this skill, making a living should be very easy.

As the children waved goodbye with reluctance, Tanjiro and Nezuko gradually moved away and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Goodbye, Tanjiro.

Goodbye, Nezuko.

Chapter 58, Section 371: The Return

With everything coming to an end, Yuxian and the others also prepared to leave this world.

I haven't been here long, but I've experienced a lot, and it feels like a long time has passed.

Yuxian told everyone about this and asked them to make preparations and choose a time to return to Chaldea.

Sakamoto Ryoma slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "I almost forgot about that guy."

He quickly said, "Master, we still need to go to Tokyo."

"Okada Izo is still in Tokyo. If I leave him here, he'll probably chase me down with a knife."

Yuxian was taken aback. "Is Okada Izo also in this world? Is there any news about the others?"

"No," Ryoma said with a smile. "As far as I know, there isn't any. If there were, they would be hiding so well that even I didn't notice them."

Yuxian nodded. If even Ryoma had no way of getting the news, it would be unrealistic to search for people aimlessly.

He said, "Then let's go to Tokyo to find Okada Izo first, and then go back together."

After finalizing the itinerary, the group packed up and set off for Tokyo the next day.

Returning to this bustling city, my feelings were different. Back then, Yuxian was clueless and came here with the intention of finding someone.

Although we had a good time, there were still some shortcomings.

With Ryoma leading the way, he was much more familiar with the area and introduced many fun places to everyone along the way.

Finally, Ryoma led everyone to the entrance of a striking building.

This is the heart of Tokyo, the political center.

"Is Mr. Okada here?" Mash asked, puzzled.

This is exactly Yuxian wanted to ask: this is not a place that ordinary people can enter and exit, so why is Okada Izo here?

Ryoma smiled and said, "You'll find out when you go inside."

Upon entering, the staff greeted Sakamoto Ryoma warmly, indicating that Ryoma was doing quite well there.

After all, they were reformers, and it was still the Meiji era, so their status was certainly guaranteed.

Arriving at the door of an office, Arlong pushed it open.

"Okada, we're back! Have you been working diligently?"

She strode into the office, acting as if she belonged there.

Besides Okada Izo, there was another staff member in the office, a young-looking girl.

She is reporting on her work progress to Okada Izo.

Upon seeing Arlong arrive, Okada Izo jumped up and dropped everything he was holding.

"You guys actually knew to come back!!!"

He's had enough of these documents, reports, and forms.

Others have never done such a thing as killing Yi Zang; it's even more difficult than asking him to charge into enemy lines.

That guy Sakamoto Ryoma left without saying a word, leaving him all alone. Izo's head has been about to explode these past few days.

When Arlong appeared in front of him, he lost all his good temper.

"Wow! I didn't realize you, Izang, were a man of both literary and martial talents."

Yuxian appeared at the door with a smile on his face, teasing Okada Izo in a good-natured way.

"Master?"

Okada Izo was taken aback when he saw Yuxian.

But he quickly ran out faster than an assassin, grabbed Yuxian, and ran outside.

"Go, go, Master, take me back to Chaldea! I want to go back to Chaldea! I don't want to stay here!"

Yuxian was stunned.

He was being pulled outside, and he turned to look at the smiling Ryoma, who looked like he had really messed up Okada Izo.

The girl who had just been reporting to Okada Izo was so anxious she was almost in tears.

She was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"It's alright, just report the truth," Sakamoto Ryoma reassured her politely.

Ryoma won't make things difficult for these staff members; it's their job.

Then he added, "We're leaving this time, and we may not be coming back."

"Please tell those important people that Ryoma and Izo are not coming back, so as not to cause them any trouble."

At this point, his smile vanished, and he became serious.

"Tell them to cherish this peace that was bought with blood, and hope that they can ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

After saying that, he ignored the still-stunned staff and left without looking back.

There was nothing here that he would want to stay.

This is no longer his era.

"Let's go, let's go! Hurry up!"

Okada Izo kept urging Yuxian; he didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

"Here? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Yuxian looked around and saw that it was a very large conference hall. There were quite a few staff members who had watched them come in.

If they were to suddenly disappear here, it would likely cause panic among them, which is not Yuxian wants to see.

Ryoma finally caught up with Yuxian and entered the conference hall.

"Let's do it here."

He didn't know why he would support Yizang. Yuxian looked at him and saw that he had a smile on his face, which didn't seem like he was joking.

So he nodded, "Then everyone stand together, and I'll contact Da Vinci-chan."

After a brief period of preparation, Yuxian and his party disappeared from this world and returned to Chaldea.

The officials who rushed over upon hearing the news only saw the last phantom image, and the carefree smiling face of the Ryoma in the phantom image.

The whereabouts of Sakamoto Ryoma and Okada Izo remain a mystery, a secret that circulates only among the upper echelons.

We're back!

Everyone felt very relaxed after returning to Chaldea.

Those who want to go back to their rooms can go back to their rooms, and those who want to go to the restaurant can go to the restaurant. This is everyone's home, casual and comfortable.

"Master has made quite a haul this time."

Da Vinci skipped over to Yuxian and said to him with a smile.

She has completely come to see herself as a beautiful girl, and her behavior is becoming more and more like that of an ordinary girl.

"Yes, it's getting better and better."

Yuxian was also very satisfied. It was truly remarkable that so many people had been found this time. At this rate, they were getting closer and closer to their goal of finding everyone.

I really wish I could find so many people every time, but Yuxian also knows that these things can't be forced.

He said with a smile, "Da Vinci-chan 've worked hard. Next time, I'll definitely find someone who can share the workload with you."

None of the people they found were able to help Da Vinci, and it was indeed quite difficult for her to handle the entire Chaldea task on her own.

Da Vinci smiled, knowing in her heart that it wasn't a place where you could just look for whoever you wanted, but she was very satisfied that Yuxian had such a mindset.

"It's alright, I can manage. You guys go get something to eat and rest for a bit."

Yuxian didn't mince words. He also missed Emiya's food very much. Since he was a little hungry, he went straight to the restaurant.

Returning to Chaldea is like returning home; it's the only place where I feel truly at ease.

Yuxian decided to take a good rest, forget about everything else for a while, and relax.

Of course, he has always been very relaxed.

Chapter 1, Section 372: The pure and simple spirit of the underworld caused the sun to set.

Life in Chaldea was very leisurely; I was even reluctant to go out Yuxian.

But the work that needed to be done had to be done sooner or later. After a few days of rest, it was time to set off again.

The candidates for this event have already been decided.

Now that the Chaldea are growing in number, it's no longer Yuxian to decide who goes with them.

The children took the spots without hesitation, and it would be unwise to leave them in Chaldea, so it would be better for them to stay with Yuxian.

Together with Mash and Tamamo no Mae, they formed this escort team.

Kiyohime originally wanted to set off with Yu Xian and the Yuxian, but after discussion, she was unable to do so and had to stay behind to look after the house.
