The Hashira dream team takes shape

After passing through a dense forest, with sunlight casting dappled shadows, the two finally arrived in front of a large complex of buildings.

This building occupies a vast area and has a simple yet elegant style, resembling an ancient castle, standing quietly on this land. High walls surround it, and dense trees provide shade, adding to its mystery and tranquility.

The interior layout of the building is well-arranged, with houses, pavilions, and towers complementing each other to form a beautiful picture. Under the sunlight, the entire courtyard shines brightly, appearing exceptionally tranquil and peaceful. A gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees, making one feel relaxed and happy.

The two arrived at the building's entrance side by side, where two members of the Hidden Force, dressed in Demon Slayer Corps uniforms, stood guard. They were clearly not seeing Kanae for the first time; after nodding to Kanae, they allowed them to enter the building.

Teiichi followed Kanae through the winding corridors, and after a short while, they arrived at a spacious courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, a crystal-clear stream flowed gently across the space. The ground between the stream and the houses was covered with pebbles of various sizes, which made a soft rustling sound when walked on.

At this moment, four figures were already standing or sitting in the courtyard.

Teiichi, who hasn't officially become a Pillar yet, there are currently only five Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps. Four of them are already standing in front of us, so Teiichi and Kanae are the last to arrive.

The arrival of the two also attracted the attention of several pillars.

"Are you the one who killed Lower Rank Three, Kato Teiichi?"

A loud and magnetic voice rang out in the courtyard, breaking the silence.

Teiichi looked in the direction of the sound and saw an unusually tall man standing in a corner of the courtyard.

He wore a sleeveless Demon Slayer Corps uniform, his snow-white hair was carefully tied up, and he wore a headdress inlaid with several gemstones, with light blue beaded chains hanging on both sides of the headdress. The man was muscular and looked to be nearly two meters tall, appearing exceptionally imposing.

Teiichi and replied, "I am Kato Teiichi."

His gaze then swept over the people in the courtyard, finally settling on the figure who had asked him the question.

I will need your continued guidance in the future.

After speaking, he bowed slightly in greeting.

The figure who had just asked Teiichi the question spoke first.

"I am the Sound Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps — Tengen Uzui!"

"A former ninja, now a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, a symbol of magnificence and power."

He paused, then added, "Young man, I heard you were seriously injured after killing Lower Rank Three and were sent to the Butterfly Mansion for treatment, which delayed your journey to becoming a Pillar until now. That's not exactly glamorous!"

Teiichi chuckled twice upon hearing Tengen Uzui's teasing, without offering any further explanation.

Their gazes shifted to the tallest figure in the room, a gigantic man with a monk-like appearance who was impossible to ignore.

He was about 2.2 meters tall, resembling a majestic mountain standing in the courtyard. A very long scar ran across his forehead, like a lightning bolt across the night sky, making it particularly striking. He was clearly blind, with only the whites of his eyes visible, revealing a profound and serene aura. He wore a brown robe with the words "Namo Amitabha Buddha" written on it, which fluttered gently in the wind, giving him a solemn and sacred appearance.

Looking at the wound on the giant's forehead, Teiichi couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. If he didn't know the limitations of medical technology in this world, he might even have suspected that the giant had undergone craniotomy.

The Gyomei Himejima.

The strongest Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps at present.

Although Gyomei Himejima was blind, he seemed to be able to sense Constant's situation and began to introduce himself.

"Amitabha..."

"Stone Hashira, the Gyomei Himejima!"

Teiichi to show his respect, then looked at the next person.

He was a boy who seemed to burn like a flame, his golden hair gleaming in the sunlight, the ends of which were fiery red, like burning flames. His eyes shone with a fervent light, filled with a thirst and passion for battle.

Noticing Teiichi's gaze, the boy spoke, his voice loud and clear:

"Hello! I am Kyojuro Rengoku. I am not a Pillar; my father is the Flame Hashira. Due to health reasons, he is unable to attend this Hashira Meeting, so I am attending on his behalf and conveying the meeting's contents to him."

Hearing Kyojuro Rengoku's words, Teiichi a little surprised. When he first saw him here, Teiichi thought he had become the Flame Hashira. He didn't expect that the current Flame Hashira was still his father, Shinjuro.

Teiichi nodded slightly and smiled at Kyojuro, saying:

"It's a pity I didn't get to see the Flame Hashira! But seeing you made me feel good too. I believe you'll definitely become a Pillar someday!"

Upon hearing Teiichi's words, Kyojuro seemed to become excited, and his voice involuntarily grew louder.

Thank you so much for your trust!

Teiichi smiled and turned his gaze in another direction.

A solitary figure stood in the distance, keeping a respectful distance from the others.

Is it Giyu Tomioka?

Didn't I already kill the Hand Demon?

Did they participate in the trials even earlier...?

Teiichi looked at Giyu, and seeing that Giyu didn't intend to introduce himself, Teiichi raised his hand and beckoned.

"Hello, um..."

Teiichi raised his hand and waved, wanting to greet Giyu. However, before he could finish speaking, Giyu interrupted him:

"I'm different from you. You don't need to hear my introduction."

Although Teiichi already knew Giyu's situation and reasons from the original work, he still felt awkward when he actually encountered this situation. He gave an awkward smile, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing Teiichi's discomfiture, Kanae chuckled softly and said to Giyu.

"Giyu- kun, you can't do it like this! You need to learn to communicate better with people!"

Having said that, Kanae, seemingly knowing that Giyu wouldn't reply, introduced him to Teiichi.

"He is the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka."

Teiichi nodded at Kanae, indicating that he understood. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the process was finally over.

Seeing Teiichi Tadaichi was looking at her, Kanae continued, "What? Don't you recognize me after you came in? Do I need to introduce myself?"

Upon hearing Kanae's words, Teiichi was taken aback. "Huh? No..."

"Hehehe..." Before Dingyi Teiichi speaking, Kanae laughed. Her laughter was clear and melodious, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Then, she said seriously, "Everyone has introduced themselves, so it doesn't seem right for me not to."

"Flower Hashira, Kanae Kocho," she said with a smile.

Please give me your guidance!

A gentle spring breeze blew across the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters, bringing a refreshing scent.

The Demon Slayer Corps ' Pillar Heaven Group has begun assembling.
