Well, the other Demon Slayer are no different to me.
If you asked him to name his social class now, he really couldn't say anything except for Zhu.
I might have heard of it before, but I don't remember it anymore. Maybe if I stuck my fingers inside my head and stirred it up, I could recall it, but...
Doma glanced slightly at Kotetsu.
Won't that scare him?
Hmm, I haven't experienced the hospitality Demon Slayer enjoys yet, so I'll keep my identity a secret for now.
Thinking of this, Doma narrowed his eyes slightly at Kotetsu and smiled:
Guess what social class I belong to?
"Hmm... I guess you must be a Pillar!" Kotetsu thought for a moment, then looked at Doma to confirm.
"Yes, that's right, you guessed correctly!" Doma chuckled. "I didn't expect you to know about the Pillars!"
"That's right, I've already seen three pillars!" Kotetsu said proudly, his chest puffed out slightly, and his face beaming with a proud smile, like a little rooster showing off his achievements.
"Oh? You've actually seen three pillars?"
Doma looked at Kotetsu with great interest, and as if he had thought of something, he tilted his head slightly, a strand of white hair sliding down his cheek, and said:
"Hmm... you mentioned earlier that there are Demon Slayer stationed here, could it be that Pillars are stationed here as well?"
Kotetsu shook his head. "No, those stationed here are just ordinary team members. Although their ranks may be relatively high, none of them are pillars!"
Doma nodded, but felt a little regretful. He had been hoping to kill one of the Pillars to make Lord Muzan happy!
Kotetsu asked curiously, "So you've even seen three pillars? Do pillars come to the Swordsmith Village often?"
Kotetsu replied, "Not often, uh... I'm not sure if Zhu comes to the village often. I only saw Zhu recently!"
"Three pillars have arrived recently?" Doma looked at Kotetsu with great interest.
"Yes, that makes four if you include you!" Kotetsu nodded in reply.
Doma nodded, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Have they all left?"
"One's gone, but there are two left!" Kotetsu replied.
Upon hearing this, Doma's lips curled up slightly.
"They're at that... guesthouse we're going to, right?"
"Yes!" Kotetsu nodded seriously. "You're all pillars, you must all know each other, right?"
Doma nodded and smiled:
"Yes, I know them all, and we're good friends!"
"That's great! They'll be so happy to see you!" Kotetsu said excitedly.
Doma smiled slightly, "I thought so too!"
Kotetsu, "When you're eating over there, I'll go call them for you. They'll be so happy to see you!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Doma said with a smile, "But don't mention my name after you find them!"
"Huh? Why?" Kotetsu looked at Doma with some confusion.
Doma explained, "Because I want to surprise them! You can tell them that a team member has arrived, and ask them to come and see if they recognize me. That way, when they get there and see me, they'll be very surprised!"
"Hmm! That makes sense! I'll do it your way!" Kotetsu nodded happily, his eyes filled with anticipation for this "surprise plan."
Seeing Kotetsu's happy expression, Doma's lips curled into a relieved smile, and he continued to ask:
"By the way, you still haven't told me who they are?"
"Uh... are you asking about the three of them, or the two who stayed behind?" Kotetsu asked, puzzled.
"Let's all talk about it! Let's start with the first person to come here!" Doma said with a smile.
Kotetsu nodded, waving his arms as he walked forward, saying:
"The first Pillar to come here was Uncle Kato, then Big Sister Kanroji, and finally Lord Uzui!"
After saying that, Kotetsu seemed to sense something was wrong, and he turned his body slightly.
Seeing that Doma was standing behind him and hadn't followed him up, Kotetsu asked in confusion:
" Doma, why are you not leaving?"
Doma a stiff smile and asked:
" Kotetsu, who is that Uncle Kato you're talking about, the one who's a pillar?"
Kotetsu: "Oh, Uncle Kato, his name is Kato Teiichi! Let me tell you, he's a really bad guy. He came here and immediately lied to me, saying he was a demon, um... just like you, and then later he also..."
Doma stood there stiffly. After hearing that name, he barely listened to what Kotetsu had said next; his mind was filled with Kotetsu's words.
" Doma! Doma!"
Kotetsu waved his hand in front of Doma, bringing him back to his senses.
"What's wrong, Doma?"
Doma slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Kotetsu somewhat stiffly, and asked:
" Kato... he's still here, isn't he?"
Kotetsu shook his head. "No, Uncle Kato has already left. It seems he has some kind of mission! The other two are staying here!"
Upon hearing this Doma immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he wasn't afraid of death, he didn't want to court it!
He had just been considering whether to risk angering Lord Muzan by not carrying out the mission and going back.
Looking down, he saw that Kotetsu was still staring at him. Doma regained his initial composure and asked with some confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you and Uncle Kato get along well?" Kotetsu asked, looking at Doma.
How did you know?
"Because you get all nervous as soon as you hear Uncle Kato's name!" Kotetsu said matter-of-factly.
Doma smiled and explained:
"Well, because we had some disagreements before, but since he's not here now, it's fine!"
"Oh, I see!" Kotetsu nodded in understanding.
So it turns out that adults can also have disagreements!
Just like how I used to be with Kanako!
However, he and Kanako have already made up!
Yes, I need to help them restore their relationship!
Thinking of this, Kotetsu immediately looked at Doma and said:
" Doma! If you two are willing to have an open and honest conversation, your relationship will definitely be restored!"
Doma chuckled. "I wish I could! But... the first thing he'd think about when he sees me is how to kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Kotetsu assumed that Doma's claim of killing him was just an exaggeration. He thought for a moment and said:
"That's right, Uncle Kato will come back to pick up the sword later, I'll talk to him then!"
"Let him have a good talk with you. Uncle Kato isn't a bad person; you two can definitely make up!"
Doma's lips curled slightly as he turned to look down at the valley below.
Well, let's hope so!
