Several days passed. After Keqing and Makomo returned to the Demon Slayer Corps, they immediately had Kagaya Ubuyashiki begin arranging what came next.
The Ubuyashiki Clan had existed on Eastern Island for hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of years. Since the Warring States period, they had been training demon hunters.
