Shinobu Kocho added, "There's also a demon that can teleport people to save or send them away!"
Upon hearing this, Kanae sighed softly and gazed into the distance, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long while, she managed a bitter smile and said softly:
"This is really not good news!"
Teiichi, "At least we know some information about the Upper Rank demons, which is a good thing! I'll have to trouble Kanae to relay this information to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters."
"Yes, I will!" Kanae nodded in response.
Seeing Kanae nod in agreement, Teiichi felt relieved and continued to enjoy the food in front of him.
Then, Teiichi suddenly remembered what he had heard when he entered the room, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"By the way, what did you guys say that would surprise me?"
"Hehehe..." Upon hearing Kanon, Hana immediately giggled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Brother Teiichi, guess!"
"Hmm..." Teiichi chewed while thinking.
Teiichi tentatively asked, "Shinobu has become a Pillar?"
"Huh! How did you know?" Kanon asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
Teiichi replied, "Well! What surprises me is always something related to you guys and the Demon Slayer Corps! Thinking about it, the only thing that's likely to happen is that Shinobu becomes a Pillar, right?"
Kanon- on looked dejected and said, "Hey! Teiichi- yi-nii, this isn't fun! Even if you guessed it, you should have said you didn't know!"
"Haha... I'm really sorry, but I've always believed that Shinobu would become a Pillar!" Teiichi laughed and then turned to Shinobu Kocho to congratulate her.
Congratulations to Shinobu for finally becoming a Pillar!
Shinobu Kocho nodded. "Thank you!"
Teiichi asked, "By the way, how did you become a Pillar? Did you kill 50 demons? Or did you encounter Lower Rank?"
Shinobu Kocho replied, "I've run into a Lower Rank Two!"
Teiichi, " Lower Rank Two? That's amazing!"
Shinobu Kocho Teiichi: "Anyone can say that, but I just don't want to hear it come from you. Besides, don't you know what kind of strength I have?"
Teiichi didn't mind and asked with a smile, "By the way, how many Pillars are there in the Demon Slayer Corps now?"
Kanae replied, "There are already nine!"
"Nine already..." Teiichi nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Kanae nodded. "Yes, you've met Himejima, Uzui, Tomioka, and Rengoku before. After you left the team, you met the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, the Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro, and Shinobu."
So, does that mean we're still Muichiro Tokito...?
Teiichi lowered his head and pondered.
I don't know if there will be ten pillars in the future, or if he won't become a pillar yet...
But never mind, just like I told Tengen Uzui before, it's ultimately just a matter of position. Everyone's ultimate goal is to kill demons.
"Hey! Teiichi- gege, this is yours!"
While the group was chatting, Aoi Kanzaki noticed Teiichi had almost finished his food and went to get a large portion.
"Thanks, Aoi!"
Teiichi Aoi Kanzaki and thanked her again.
Seeing this, Kanae said, "By the way, not only has the number of Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps increased, but our Butterfly Mansion has also received a new member!"
"Qing, Cheng, Naho!"
The three girls, who were quietly eating in their seats, hurriedly stood up when Kanae called their names.
Kiyo Terauchi, wearing a pink hair accessory, was the first to introduce himself.
"Ah, no, hello, my name is Kiyo Terauchi!"
Seeing this, Sumi Nakahara was wearing a blue hair accessory, and Naho Takada, who was wearing a green hair accessory, also began to introduce themselves.
My name is Sumi Nakahara!
My name is Naho Takada!
After speaking, the three of them bowed to Teiichi in unison.
Please give me your guidance!
Seeing the three of them so formal, Teiichi put down his chopsticks and stood up to return their greeting.
"My name is Kato Teiichi! It's nice to meet you all!"
Upon seeing this, the three of them waved their hands in unison.
No! No! No!
Teiichi asked, puzzled, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Sumi Nakahara waved her hand and said, "You don't need to return our greetings!"
Naho nodded, "And although we only met you today, we already knew about you from the older girls!"
Kiyo Terauchi nodded in agreement, "Yes! Yes!"
Kanae chuckled twice and said, "It's alright! Kiyoshi, Sumi, Naho! Teiichi- kun is returning the favor out of respect, just accept it!"
Seeing that Kanae had said so, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and bowed again.
"Please take care of me in the future!"
Teiichi returned the greeting once more.
Please give me your guidance!
night.
"Thump... thump thump..."
A soft knock came from Teiichi's doorway.
The voice was very low; the person who came seemed to want to find Teiichi but was worried that Teiichi was already asleep, so they didn't dare to knock too hard.
Ding Yi, who had already closed her eyes to go to sleep, gently raised Teiichi eyes, went to the door, and opened it.
Kanae was wearing a pale yellow nightgown covered with colorful flowers.
The bright moonlight shone through the windows of the corridor, bathing Kanae in its glow, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of a dream.
The familiar figure made Teiichi smile.
"What's wrong?" Teiichi asked softly.
Kanae did not reply, and stepped inside.
Teiichi, Teiichi quickly stepped aside and closed the door behind him after Kanae entered.
"What's wrong?"
"When Shinobu and I were shopping, I saw a dress that I thought would suit you perfectly, so I bought it for you!" Kanae said, gesturing to the dress in her hand.
"Thanks!" Teiichi thank you and then reached out to take the clothes.
There's no need for thanks between us!
Kanae replied, raising her hand to lightly tuck a strand of long hair behind her ear. Seeing that Teiichi didn't seem inclined to change, she said:
Why don't you try them on?
Teiichi was about to try it on as Kanae had suggested, he abruptly stopped.
"I'll change into it after I shower in a couple of days!"
Kanae said, "Try it on now. If it doesn't fit, I can take it to be altered!"
"No, Kanae buys will definitely fit!"
Kanae chuckled and said, "I'm not that amazing. Why don't you try it on now and see!"
Teiichi, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why don't you... go out first?"
Kanae gently shook her head. "No need, I'll just watch you change."
Kanae's insistence startled Teiichi slightly. Teiichi seemed to realize something and looked up at Kanae.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
for a long time.
Under Teiichi Kanae's eyes grew redder and redder.
finally.
A slightly trembling voice echoed in the room.
"Did you suffer any other injuries you don't want me to see?"
