With a slight sound, the door slowly opened.
Senjuro was standing obediently outside the door, immediately turned around upon hearing the sound.
" Mr. Kato, are you leaving?"
Teiichi hearing this, Senjuro looked towards Senjuro, nodded slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, your brother will have to trouble you again. If he needs any help, feel free to contact me anytime. I can still lend a hand at the Butterfly Mansion!"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Kato!" Senjuro bowed in thanks.
After saying goodbye to Senjuro, Teiichi back to his room.
His steps were somewhat slow, as if he was still thinking about something, his mind churning like waves that could not be calmed for a long time.
"The chosen one..."
The scene from just now replayed in my mind.
After Teiichi finished reading the newspaper, he folded it up.
Kyojuro suddenly spoke up, " Mr. Kato, do you remember what our Master said before, that he had a premonition that Muzan Kibutsuji would be destroyed in our generation?"
Teiichi, and then thought back to what he had heard.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki does seem to have said something similar.
So he asked, "I vaguely remember, what's wrong?"
"Why do you think Muzan Kibutsuji was eliminated in our generation, Mr. Kato?" Kyojuro asked.
Teiichi was taken aback again upon hearing this. He pondered the question carefully, and various plots and details from the original work flashed through his mind.
In the original story, the Muzan Kibutsuji was probably due to fate!
The absence of characters like Yoriichi Tsugikuni meant that Muzan didn't take the Demon Slayer Corps very seriously.
Nezuko's appearance gave Muzan the desire to take the initiative.
The fact that the Demon Slayer Corps has the second strongest Pillar team in history means that the Demon Slayer Corps is not entirely without the ability to resist the combined forces of Muzan and the Upper Rank.
Furthermore, the medicine developed by Shinobu and Tamayo that turns people into demons greatly weakened Muzan's fighting power.
Then there's the flashback scene involving Akaza and Kokushibo...
In conclusion, they finally succeeded in killing Muzan.
This was achieved only after most of the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars had died.
It's fair to say that if even one or two pillars hadn't given their all, the final result could have been drastically different.
Of course, that's one thing to think, but it's another to say it like that.
So Teiichi spoke up:
"Because this generation of Pillars is the strongest in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps! Previous generations couldn't even gather nine Pillars, but now we have eleven!"
"No!"
Kyojuro retorted.
That's because of you!
I have a feeling that you're the one who can end all of this!
Muzan will eventually die by your sword!
Your survival from the Upper Rank's attack is proof of that!
Not only me, but also the Flower Hashira, the Insect Hashira, and many other pillars, and even the Master thinks so!
Kyojuro gazed intently at Teiichi, and said slowly but firmly:
"You are the chosen one!"
"The chosen one..."
Teiichi murmured softly.
Unbeknownst to me, I've already shouldered the expectations of so many people.
Teiichi slowly shook his head, clearing his mind of the thoughts that had just been swirling around.
The conversation with Kyojuro just now made Teiichi realize something he had overlooked before.
That means having the idea of Muzan confronting Muzan is too unrealistic!
Even knowing that he could pose a threat to him.
Even after conveying Nezuko's message to Muzan, Muzan couldn't resist the urge to come out.
Ultimately, he will definitely try every means to exclude himself from the battlefield.
Only in this way can he act with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Teiichi couldn't help but frown.
In other words, do we need to think of another way to join the battle?
But the Infinity Castle is in Muzan's hands; if he won't open the gate for me, I can't do anything about it.
This is just like fighting a war.
The opponent has air force, while we do not.
If the opponent wants to fight me, they can fight me; if they don't want to, they don't have to.
If the enemy doesn't get close to the ground, our artillery can't hit them!
What should we do in this situation?
I can't just stay by Nezuko's side and Muzan fighting Muzan, can I?
Muzan did Muzan refuse to open the door for him, and he just stayed next to Nezuko?
Teiichi felt a growing headache as he thought about it, and he couldn't help but clench his fist and gently tap his forehead.
"You have a scratch on your forehead, so you can't keep tapping it!"
A gentle voice came through, carrying not only tenderness and concern, but also a hint of gentle reproach.
Teiichi was only then that Dingyi came to his senses and realized that he had unknowingly walked to the door of his room, where Kanae was standing, smiling at him.
The familiar faces, like warm sunshine, made Teiichi smile.
Are you done with your work?
"Hmm! I thought you had already visited Kyojuro, so I came straight to find you. I didn't expect you to be back so late."
Kanae nodded, a hint of surprise and curiosity in her eyes.
"What did you two talk about? You've been talking for so long, and you still look so gloomy?"
Teiichi gently shook his head. "No, we just talked about his injuries, information about the Upper Rank Moons, and so on. I even read him the newspaper later, so the time passed a bit faster."
"Then why do you look so gloomy?" Kanae pressed again.
Upon hearing this question, Teiichi's brows furrowed involuntarily again.
Seeing this, Kanae Teiichi, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze:
"If you keep frowning like that, it'll be hard to straighten your brow later!"
The two entered the room together, Kanae asked with concern:
"Has something happened?"
Teiichi shook his head. "No, I was just thinking about how to kill Muzan if the Muzan Infinity Castle is in his hands."
Upon hearing this, Kanae fell into deep thought and then fell silent after a moment.
After a long while, Kanae walked to the bed and sat down gently, patting her thigh with her hand.
She looked up at Teiichi, a gentle smile on her face:
"How about it? Want to lie down over here? It'll help you relax!"
Teiichi saw this, he was taken aback for a moment, then walked over without ceremony, lay down on the bed, and skillfully rested his head on Kanae's lap.
A soft touch came from the back of his head, making Teiichi feel a sense of comfort.
Kanae raised her hand and gently pressed it on Teiichi's head.
Strands of hair gently fell onto Teiichi's cheeks, bringing with them the fragrance of Wisteria.
"Although I'm finding it hard to keep up with you now, anyway..."
Her violet-like eyes gazed tenderly at Teiichi.
I'll always support you!
Her gentle words flowed like water, gently brushing against Teiichi's heart.
Looking at Kanae's familiar face, I don't know why, Teiichi suddenly felt completely relaxed.
A gentle breeze rustled through the room, while cicadas chirped incessantly outside the window.
Teiichi's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier...
