Amane Ubuyashiki closed the door.
He then went to the tea table, picked up a rag from it, and knelt down to clean up the spilled tea.
While processing it, he asked:
"Did Teiichi Ding send back another message?"
"Yes, Nezuko overcame the sunlight!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded slowly and recounted the information he had just received.
For him, there was no news he couldn't tell Amane.
Even as their own health deteriorates.
From now on, there will likely be many things that I'll have to trouble Amane to handle.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words resounded like a thunderclap in Amane Ubuyashiki's ears.
The person who was wiping the floor suddenly stopped and looked up in disbelief.
" Nezuko... overcame... the sunlight?"
Amane Ubuyashiki muttered to herself.
Of course she knows who Nezuko is.
Or rather, anyone with even a little status within the Demon Slayer Corps knows who Nezuko is.
Nezuko's status within the Demon Slayer Corps is even more special than that of the Pillars.
Only Kagaya Ubuyashiki, as the Oyakata-sama, could compare to Nezuko.
after all.
That's the only demon the Demon Slayer Corps has made contact with right now!
But why does this news sound so... unfamiliar?
The ghost... overcame... the sunlight?
"Yes, if it's coming from Teiichi and Kanae, then the news must be true!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded in confirmation, then turned to look at White Feather.
Could you please explain in more detail?
Upon hearing this, White Feather flapped its wings and flew to the tea table.
" Kanae has written this information in a letter and tied it to my foot. You can take the letter off now!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded and turned to face the direction of Amane.
"Thank you for your help, Amane!"
Amane Ubuyashiki nodded, temporarily putting down her work, and went to the tea table.
He reached out and removed the letter that was tied to White Feather's foot.
The letter was slowly unfurled, Amane Ubuyashiki's gentle voice echoed in the room.
To My Master:
When my subordinates are conducting research.
It was discovered by chance that Nezuko's blood was not afraid of Wisteria sap like most demons.
Nezuko's blood still reacts with the sap of the Wisteria.
But unlike the blood of ordinary ghosts, it will not decay and wither after encountering the sap of Wisteria.
Even after Nezuko's blood was mixed with the sap of the Wisteria, it remained bright red and full of vitality.
The subordinate informed Teiichi of the result.
Inspired by Teiichi, we tried to let Nezuko touch the sun.
The final result was as we expected.
Nezuko is not only unafraid of Wisteria, but also unafraid of the sun.
Even at the very beginning of sun exposure.
Nezuko's body has burns similar to those of a typical demon.
However, it recovered quickly.
After standing in the sun for a while, no burns appeared.
Nezuko is now able to live a normal life under the sun.
The specific reasons for this are still under investigation.
Ren and I are currently working hard on this research.
Because this matter is quite important, I am writing to inform you.
Later, if we figure out why Nezuko isn't afraid of the sun...
We will provide you with another written explanation.
We have a feeling that this will be a major breakthrough for us in defeating Muzan.
above.
Master good health!
Kanae Kocho
After finishing the letter, Amane Ubuyashiki slowly folded it up.
The letter has clearly explained the cause, process, and result.
Neither of them doubted the veracity of the news when they learned of it.
However, both of them were still somewhat shocked when they learned the whole story.
The ghost really overcame the sunlight!
After a moment of silence, Amane Ubuyashiki looked up at Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
" Kagaya, what's your opinion?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki slowly turned his head, feeling the summer evening breeze blowing in from outside, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
" Amane, we now hold the initiative!"
"The initiative, huh..." Amane Ubuyashiki murmured slowly.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded.
"Yes, Muzan Kibutsuji has always been pursuing the ability to live in the sunlight like a normal person."
If he knew that Nezuko had overcome the challenges of sunlight and could survive in it...
Then he'll definitely try every means to steal Nezuko away!
Amane Ubuyashiki and asked:
"But if he were to try and steal it now, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?"
The Demon Slayer Corps now not only has ten Pillars, but also Teiichi who can help!
Do you think he'll hide like he always has, waiting Teiichi Lord Ding dies before trying to steal it?
Kagaya Ubuyashiki slowly shook his head.
"No. Just as I understand Muzan Kibutsuji very well, Muzan Kibutsuji also understands us very well."
If he really does that, then...
We will only kill Nezuko before Teiichi dies.
His words were casual and uninteresting, devoid of any emotion.
If Muzan Kibutsuji really chooses not to come and take Nezuko...
So he really would have Nezuko killed before he died.
anyway...
If Muzan wanted to see the sun.
Therefore, they only allowed Muzan to see the sun before he died!
Of course, given his current physical condition, he wouldn't live to see that day.
Kiriya n't survive either.
It's okay, though.
He believed that, as descendants of the Ubuyashiki Family, they would make the same choice.
Amane Ubuyashiki fell silent upon hearing this.
Although it sounds cruel, it's the right thing to do!
Noticing Amane Ubuyashiki's state, Kagaya Ubuyashiki chuckled softly:
Don't worry, that won't happen!
Muzan even more anxious than we are. He has been searching for a thousand years, and he will not have the patience to wait another thousand years!
It might even be more than a thousand years...
Amane Ubuyashiki nodded slowly.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki continued:
"I was originally thinking about how we could find Muzan and surround him if the Infinity Castle was in Muzan's hands."
But Nezuko exists.
This situation, which had previously restricted us, now Muzan to figure out how to find us for a final battle!
"Should we pass this message on to Muzan now?" Amane Ubuyashiki asked.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki slowly shook his head.
"It's not the right time yet; the timing isn't quite right!"
"The timing..." Amane Ubuyashiki murmured.
"Yes, the first thing we need to figure out is why Nezuko isn't afraid of the sun!"
" Kanae and the others are already researching this. I think, given some time, they'll definitely be able to figure it out!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded and turned to look out the window again.
"Yes, I believe that too, but we can try to find a way to speed things up!"
