Night, Butterfly Mansion.
After finishing dinner, Dingyi went to the tea room Teiichi.
After placing the iron kettle on the charcoal stove, I adjusted the fire, turning it to its highest setting, and then sat quietly cross-legged in my seat.
The water began to gurgle and soon boiled completely.
Teiichi deftly lifted the teapot, slightly turning his wrist, and poured hot water into the celadon teacup like a fine thread. The tea leaves then tumbled and danced in the teacup, releasing a refreshing aroma of tea.
After filtering out the first brew of tea, Teiichi repeated the process and poured the second brew into the cup.
He then gently picked up the teacup, blew on it to cool it down, and took a small sip from it.
After finishing a cup of tea, Teiichi turned to look at the night view outside the window and began to think about the problem that had been bothering him for many days.
How can we convey the message that Nezuko has overcome the sunlight to Muzan?
According to the original story, there was supposed to be a story about the Swordsmith Village later on.
However, in the original story, the demons that appeared in the Swordsmith Village were Gyokko and Hantengu.
But now, Hantengu and Gyokko had already been killed by him.
In other words, there's nothing more to do with the Swordsmith Village.
But without the Swordsmith Village, all that's left is the final battle!
But if the message hasn't been delivered to Muzan, then how can there be a final battle?
Thinking about this Teiichi a headache.
The thought even flashed through his mind that he shouldn't have killed Gyokko and Hantengu in the first place.
However, Teiichi himself.
Since he's dead, then so be it.
Daki's route, just try another one.
Teiichi picked up a pen and paper from under the tea table and began to reorganize the known information.
The goal is to let Muzan know that Nezuko has overcome the sunlight.
There are two ways to get information out of Muzan.
One option is for Muzan to obtain it directly; the other is for it to be transmitted back to Muzan through the memories of the demon from its previous life.
First, consider the first approach: let Muzan obtain it directly.
This approach can be further divided into two methods.
One method is to have someone tell Muzan that Nezuko overcame the sunlight.
However, this method can be ruled out.
It wasn't because I was worried that the person who went to tell Muzan this news would die.
It's not because Muzan be found.
Muzan can freely change his identity.
He could be a child, an adult, an elderly person, or even a man or a woman.
Even if you actually meet someone like that on the street...
Aside from a few individuals Teiichi who have accessed the Transparent World, only someone with extraordinary talent like Tanjiro could discover Muzan's true identity.
This country, though not large, is certainly not small either.
So, relying on these few people to encounter Muzan on the road and tell him that Nezuko overcame sunlight is probably no easier than winning the lottery in a previous life.
Therefore, this route can basically be ruled out.
The second method is to inform Muzan by sending a telegram.
By continuously publishing information about Nezuko in the newspaper, Muzan managed to get the news to him while reading it one of the days.
To be honest, this method is 100% effective Teiichi certain of it, but...
If the published information is unclear, there's a concern that Muzan not have noticed it.
Publishing too much information can lead to various problems.
Firstly, the existence of ghosts is currently hidden in the shadows, so it's not appropriate to send a message about this.
Secondly, after the news is published, it might attract Muzan.
Immortality, and no need to eat human flesh...
Once word gets out that this is Muzan, by the time Muzan arrives, there will probably already be a long queue.
Therefore, this method can also be largely ruled out.
After finishing this, Teiichi paused his actions, his gaze slightly somber.
After Kanae and the others developed a drug that could turn demons into humans.
If the message has already been delivered to Muzan, then it's best to feed Nezuko as soon as possible.
Otherwise, human nature is unpredictable, and the disaster Nezuko might cause could be even greater than Muzan's.
Teiichi then proceeded to analyze the second method.
In other words, the message that Nezuko had overcome the sunlight was relayed back to Muzan through the demon's memories.
This is the method Teiichi this attempt.
However, for some Muzan, Muzan controlled Daki to explode and commit suicide, causing the Teiichi Plan to fail, which is Teiichi is sitting here now.
It is known that Muzan the life or death of ordinary demons; even if an ordinary demon is dead, he wouldn't even glance at it.
Muzan only pays close attention to the demons when they are in the Upper Moon or Lower Moon phases.
And the Lower Moon...
If I remember correctly, it was at Mount Natagumo...
Well, strictly speaking, all the Lower Rank died after the Mugen Train.
If there's no Lower Rank, then we can only consider Upper Rank.
" Upper Rank... Upper Rank..." Teiichi murmured.
In the Upper Rank, Hantengu, Gyokko, and Daki are all gone.
That means only Kokushibo, Akaza, and Doma remain.
Do we need to find them and then pass on the message through them?
They are no longer involved in the story.
In other words, if we rely on them to deliver messages, do we have to find them ourselves?
Since he didn't know their exact location, the only way to find them was to rely on the existing information and have Kagaya Ubuyashiki arrange for people to search for them bit by bit.
As for Kokushibo, he's a samurai, and he'll probably be at the dojo later.
That's all the information available.
As for Akaza, there's no specific information. However, if he was the one who went there during the Mugen Train, then we should focus on the area where the Mugen Train occurred and search outwards.
As for Doma, Kanae encountered Doma in Mine City, near Shikoku Island, and he seemed to be the leader of some kind of cult.
Hmm... that's all the information I have.
Teiichi poured himself another cup of tea, raised it to his lips, and took a small sip.
His gaze remained fixed on the information about Kokushibo, Akaza, and Doma written on the white paper.
Kokushibo only knows the location type, and even that type might not be correct.
Akaza only knows the location.
As for Doma, besides knowing the location, I also know he was the leader of a religion.
In comparison, Doma should be the easiest to find.
Of course, this doesn't mean you'll definitely find it, but at least you have a chance.
However... there might actually be more than three Upper Rank...
And there's also Nakime was added to the original story, and... and...
With whom again?
It's been so many years, I've long forgotten the name of one of the supporting characters. I only remember that he was Zenitsu's senior, and that he didn't seem to be doing very well.
Hmm... Teiichi carefully searched through the memories in his mind.
It seems he encountered Kokushibo during Hashira Training, and since he couldn't defeat him, he decisively surrendered.
In other words, if Muzan were told that Nezuko had overcome the sunlight, would it be possible that Muzan would also find out?
wrong...
The Hashira Training took place after the Swordsmith Village incident, meaning there's a high chance he won't become a demon?
