Perhaps it's because there's never been anyone around to share with.
This time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Teiichi talked for a long time, in fits and Teiichi.
From his words, Teiichi could also tell that he had been under tremendous pressure for so many years in his position Oyakata-sama of the Demon Slayer Corps.
The fate of the Demon Slayer Corps hangs in the balance, fueled by guilt over mission assignments that led to the deaths of its members...
After a long while, Kagaya Ubuyashiki slowly stopped and gave an apologetic smile.
Sorry for talking to you so much all at once!
Teiichi gently shook his head and said:
"It's okay, I don't mind! If you want to continue, you can, and I'll keep listening!"
"No need, this is enough!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki slowly shook his head, then asked:
"Did Teiichi want to see me about something this time?"
Teiichi nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly began to speak:
"I plan to inform Nezuko has Muzan the effects of sunlight!"
Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's expression remained unchanged.
He immediately thought of this as well after learning that Nezuko had overcome the sunlight.
He might be a little surprised if he heard this from someone else.
But if this person is Teiichi...
Then everything will be normal.
As I just said, they are the same kind of people!
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, but did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked:
"Shouldn't we wait a little longer? Aren't Kanae and the others researching a potion that can turn demons into humans? Wouldn't it be better to wait until they've developed that potion before passing on the news of Nezuko overcoming sunlight to Muzan?"
Teiichi, and then thought about it carefully.
He hadn't actually considered this issue before.
After all, at that time, the only Upper Rank demon they knew they would definitely encounter was Daki.
So even if you want to wait, you can't.
But now...
Since we're already going to find Upper Rank himself to deliver the message, waiting a bit might actually be a good idea.
In fact, if we want to minimize casualties among the Demon Slayer Corps members, waiting another ten or twenty years would be the best-case scenario.
At that time, the Demon Slayer Corps could train more powerful fighters.
At that time, Teiichi and his group were not yet in a state of decline in strength.
However, this situation does not conform to Teiichi Kagaya Ubuyashiki just said: to sacrifice a small number of people to protect the majority.
Because if we choose to wait in order to protect more team members...
During the waiting period, many more innocent people will be sacrificed.
However, the potion that can turn demons into humans is definitely worth waiting for.
Teiichi nodded and said, "We can wait a bit, but even if we want to send a message to Muzan, it's not something we can do just like that. We need to find the Upper Rank's location first."
" Upper Rank?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki murmured.
"What's wrong?" Teiichi asked.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, "If it's the Upper Rank, then it's just Kokushibo, Akaza, and Doma left, isn't it?"
"There are only the three of them left!" Teiichi.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, "Wouldn't it be too dangerous to ask them to pass on a message?"
Teiichi.
Didn't you just tell me that sacrifices were necessary?
Why are you telling me now that it's too dangerous?
However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki Kagaya Ubuyashiki immediately provided Teiichi answer, asking:
"Couldn't we wait until the Lower Rank is discovered before sending out this message via Lower Rank?"
Teiichi pondered for a moment.
It wouldn't be appropriate to tell Kagaya Ubuyashiki that the moon might not be Lower Rank by now.
On the one hand, it would be difficult to explain how he knew about this; on the other hand, Daki was Muzan by Muzan and died by self-destruction, it's not entirely impossible for Muzan to create another Lower Rank.
After thinking quietly for a while, Teiichi:
"Sure, but we have virtually no information about the Lower Rank, so relying on Lower Rank to transmit messages is too unpredictable."
"Furthermore, judging from the current frequency of demon activity, if Lower Rank appears once, it might not appear there again."
"So, it's better to go to Upper Rank!"
After thinking for a moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded and asked:
Do you have the position information for the Upper Rank mechanism?
Teiichi shook his head. "I don't have their exact location, but I know some general information. I'm contacting you this time hoping you can arrange for someone to find out their location. If you spot any suspicious targets, please contact me, and I'll go find them!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, signaling Teiichi continue.
After taking Teiichi sip of tea to moisten his throat, Ding Yi began to speak:
" Kokushibo is a samurai, so he'd probably stay in a kendo dojo or something similar. He likely doesn't like noisy environments, so you can look in that direction."
"As for Akaza, he appeared during the Mugen Train, so his location should be in the area where the Mugen Train incident occurred, but the size of that area is unclear."
"As for Doma, Kanae met him in Mine City a few years ago, and he seems to be the leader of some kind of cult."
"What kind of cult leader?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked, puzzled.
Teiichi, "I don't know exactly what kind of sect it is; I'll need you to arrange for someone to find out!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki replied earnestly, "Yes, don't worry, I'll make the arrangements later!"
Teiichi nodded slightly, then continued, "Also, I plan to make a trip to the Swordsmith Village!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded readily, "Yes, no problem!"
Teiichi deep breath and looked at Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
"Well then, there's one last thing..."
Swordsmith Village.
The Swordsmith Village is nestled in a remote mountain forest.
Steep mountain walls line the left and right sides, a road leads out in front, and a dense forest lies behind.
Dozens of houses, large and small, are nestled between two mountain walls.
Teiichi stood at the village entrance, looking at the clean and tidy gate and the several-story houses behind it.
Putting everything else aside, the Ubuyashiki Family really treats their subordinates well!
No one who joins the Demon Slayer Corps is short of money.
The Demon Slayer is like this, the Butterfly Mansion is like this, and the Swordsmith Village is like this...
I don't know about the other hidden team members, but they're probably doing alright.
But it definitely doesn't have the Pillars, the Butterfly Mansion, or the Swordsmith Village, okay?
After all, these three departments—combat, medical, and blacksmithing—are all technical professions.
" Lord Kato, the Swordsmith Village is just ahead!" a hidden member beside him announced.
Teiichi nodded and said, "Thank you for your help!"
The hidden team member continued, "After you enter the village, you can go find the village chief first. He knows everything about the village, and you can also ask him to handle any matters that need to be dealt with!"
Teiichi nodded and asked, "Okay, where does the village chief live?"
The hidden team member said, "Just go straight, and then turn left at the very end!"
"Okay, thank you!" Teiichi nodded.
After seeing that Teiichi was alright, the hidden team member bowed to Teiichi and said:
"Then I'll be going now!"
Teiichi returned the greeting and said:
"Okay, thank you for your help!"
