"Are there many people in the team who can't accept ghosts?"
Tanjiro thought for a moment, then asked again, his voice tinged with uncertainty and inquiry.
So far, the only teammates he's encountered, excluding Mount Fujikasane, are Mr. Tomioka, Mr. Urokodaki, and Mr. Kato.
None of the three disliked Nezuko's presence.
This led him to believe that people's prejudice against ghosts wasn't that deep.
But now that Mr. Kato has specifically emphasized this, it might be really difficult for the average team member to accept Nezuko's existence.
Teiichi, Dingyi said, "Most people who have been harmed by demons hold a bad attitude towards them. And most of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps have been harmed by demons!"
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro's heart sank, and he asked nervously:
"So... what will they do if they actually see Nezuko?"
"My first reaction would probably be to kill Nezuko!"
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro's face turned pale instantly, and he asked anxiously, "What should I do? I can't let Nezuko get hurt!"
Teiichi, Dingyi said, "If you encounter any ordinary team members in the future, just tell them that Nezuko is an existence recognized by headquarters, that's all!"
"Headquarters?"
Teiichi explained, " The Demon Slayer Corps has a headquarters that is responsible for the operation of the entire organization, the management of its members, and the allocation of missions."
Tanjiro nodded, then said somewhat anxiously, "But Nezuko hasn't been recognized by headquarters!"
"It's alright, just say so. If there are any problems later, they can come to me!"
Won't this affect you?
"No, I'm not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"Huh? Aren't you from the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Tanjiro stared in surprise, his eyes widening. He had come along because he thought Mr. Kato was a senior.
To my utter surprise, after chatting for so long, it turned out that Mr. Kato wasn't a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Teiichi firmly. "That was true before, but not anymore! Now, my relationship with the Demon Slayer Corps is more of a mutually beneficial one. We all aim to slay demons, and if there are any troublesome missions or a shortage of manpower, the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters will come to me!"
"Then what's the difference between this and being a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?" Tanjiro asked.
"The difference..." Teiichi chewed his food, thought for a moment, and replied, "The difference is probably that there will be far fewer tasks, maybe not even one in a whole year, and there will be no allowance!"
"Huh! No allowance? How do you survive?!" Tanjiro exclaimed in surprise.
If it weren't for the allowance from the Demon Slayer Corps, he probably would have had to go back to burning charcoal to make a living.
"How do you survive? Just find a rich woman and you'll be fine!"
"Ah??"
Tanjiro was a little confused; these days, there was no such thing as finding a rich woman.
Teiichi chuckled and said, "With your current skills, hunting would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it? You could easily sell a large prey for a lot of money!"
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro seemed to be inspired, and his eyes lit up.
"Oh, I didn't know you could do that!"
"Yes! And let me tell you, the fish are even easier to catch in the sea!"
"Huh? Isn't it more inconvenient to move around in the sea? Why would it be easier to catch them?" Tanjiro wondered.
Teiichi explained, "Moving in the sea is more inconvenient, but the fish there have never seen a human before! On land, many animals will run away when they see you! But sea animals have never seen a human before, so many fish will stupidly come close. When it gets close to you, you can just punch it and knock it unconscious!"
"Is this even possible?!"
Tanjiro was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as it was the first time he had ever heard such a statement.
"Yes! In the past two years..."
The two chatted Teiichi ate at the same time.
Having a large appetite is a downside.
Tanjiro had been eating for ages, Teiichi was still eating.
After a long pause, Tanjiro suddenly shook his head.
"No, no! We were just talking about Nezuko!"
Mr. Kato, since you're no longer a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, let's not involve you.
"I'll apply to headquarters myself and get them to recognize Nezuko. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Teiichi moment.
If Tanjiro were to apply himself, it would essentially be a matter of the Pillars and Kagaya Ubuyashiki expressing their opinions to see which side had more people.
Kanae will definitely side with Nezuko now.
Shinobu Kocho will definitely stand with her sister.
Mitsuri Kanroji doesn't care much about Nezuko's existence, and she doesn't have any deep hatred for demons. If her two best friends side with Nezuko, she will definitely side with Nezuko too.
Then there's Giyu Tomioka, who'll definitely be on Nezuko too.
That makes four votes.
Then, Muichiro and Tengen Uzui didn't really care much about Nezuko.
However, if I announce my name when the time comes, they'll probably side with Nezuko anyway.
Furthermore, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also sides with Nezuko.
So, if we calculate it this way...
The ten pillars plus Kagaya Ubuyashiki make a total of eleven people, seven of whom are Nezuko.
The only ones who would truly oppose it are Gyomei Himejima, Kyojuro Rengoku, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Obanai Iguro.
If you apply, you'll definitely get approved!
After thinking it over, Teiichi firmly, "It's worth applying for!"
Hearing this, Tanjiro was quite pleased. "Then I'll write a letter right now and have Kasugai Crow deliver it to headquarters!"
"No need! You can bring it up again when you attend the Hashira Meeting at headquarters later!" Teiichi stopped Tanjiro.
The next Hashira Meeting will likely be around the time Tanjiro is arrested.
In other words, Tanjiro's letter was essentially meaningless, whether he wrote it or not.
It's written that Kagaya Ubuyashiki will only discuss this matter during the Hashira Meeting.
Even if I don't write it down, this matter will still be discussed when Tanjiro is arrested.
" The Hashira Meeting?" Tanjiro, somewhat puzzled.
Teiichi explained, "It's a meeting where the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps and the Pillars discuss matters concerning the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"What is that pillar?" Tanjiro asked again.
"..."
Is Urokodaki- senpai really that uncouth?
Besides Breathing Style and exorcising demons, they don't teach anything else?
Teiichi asked, "What level are you at now?"
Tanjiro scratched the back of his head and laughed, "I've only completed three missions, and I'm still only at the Gui rank!"
Teiichi and explained, " The Demon Slayer Corps is divided into ten ranks: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and G. Above these ten ranks are the Pillars! There are currently ten Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"Oh, I see!" Tanjiro nodded in understanding.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly stopped.
Its nose twitched slightly, as if it were sniffing something.
The next moment, ignoring Teiichi and Nezuko who were still inside, he picked up his knife and jumped out of the window.
