Ubuyashiki Estate.
"Sister!!!"
"Sister Kanae!!!"
The three sisters, one older and two younger, embraced, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
"Shinobu! Kanao! I'm back!"
Butterfly Kanae raised her hands and gently stroked the heads of her two younger sisters.
"Welcome back~"
Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri said in unison.
No one disturbed the sisters' warm reunion.
After a long while.
The sound of a wheelchair being pushed came.
Amane Ubuyashiki pushed the frail Kagaya Ubuyashiki into the courtyard.
"Master!"
"How is your health?"
"Master, are you alright now?"
"Thank goodness! Master is blessed with good fortune!"
The Demon Slayer Corps Pillars all awoke as if from a dream, rushing forward to greet him.
"I'm mostly fine now, I apologize for making you all worry!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki forced himself to wave his hand, signaling everyone not to worry.
"Master!!!"
Butterfly Kanae also stepped forward to greet him.
"Kanae, it's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded happily.
"Master, did you already know that Sister was still alive?"
Shinobu Kocho asked.
"Yes, Kyojuro's report already informed me!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded.
"Shinobu, I asked Master not to tell everyone yet, it was a surprise!"
Butterfly Kanae said with a smile.
"But… Butterfly, where did you go these past few years? If you were still alive, why didn't you come back! Even a letter would have been fine! I… we were all very worried about you!"
Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa said.
"I apologize, the reasons are very complex!"
Butterfly Kanae said apologetically.
"Today is a good day, let's not talk about anything else for now!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki mediated, then his gaze swept past the Pillars to Luo Lin in the distance.
"Mr. Luo Lin, I am truly sorry, my subordinates have caused you trouble, if my health permits, I would certainly apologize to you personally!"
"It's alright, don't worry about it!"
Luo Lin waved his hand indifferently.
The doubts of Wind Pillar and the others seemed no different from children's squabbles in his eyes.
Since Kagaya Ubuyashiki, as the head, had already spoken, he naturally wouldn't hold a grudge.
"Upon learning of Mr. Luo Lin's arrival, I have already ordered people to prepare a sumptuous feast in advance, as an apology for everyone's impoliteness!"
In terms of handling affairs, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was undoubtedly top-notch.
He did things meticulously, without causing the slightest bit of discomfort.
"Party time~"
Kanna cheered.
A grand welcome celebration began.
As a guest, Luo Lin was not stingy either.
He took out top-tier ingredients from the Gourmet World from his ship's food storage and shared them with everyone.
They ate and drank to their hearts' content, and the hosts and guests were all delighted.
The lively banquet lasted from noon until evening.
…
…
At the same time.
The demons' main base.
At this moment, elites were also gathered.
"This is… the Dimensional Infinity Castle!!!"
"The fact that we were summoned here means… an Upper Moon has been killed by a Demon Slayer!!!"
Upper Moon Six, the twin siblings Daki and Gyutaro, both changed their expressions in shock.
Soon, Gyutaro and Daki exchanged glances and smiled in unison.
"What useless fellows, to actually be killed by a Demon Slayer. This hasn't happened in hundreds of years!"
The ugly older brother, Gyutaro, said with a sinister laugh.
"I wonder if it was Hantengu or Gyokko who died? No matter which one, at least our ranks will rise this time, brother!"
The beautiful younger sister, Daki, also smiled happily.
In the siblings' perception, the only ones who could be killed by the Demon Slayer Corps would be Upper Moon Four Hantengu or Upper Moon Five Gyokko.
As for the top three Upper Moons, it was absolutely impossible for them to be killed.
"Oh, Daki, Gyutaro, you're still alive. I thought it was you two who were killed!"
An exquisite pale blue flower vase appeared out of thin air, and Upper Moon Five Gyokko's true form emerged from it.
"Tch, so it wasn't you who died, then it must have been Hanten…"
Gyutaro didn't finish his sentence.
"I… I'm sorry…"
The ugly-looking Upper Moon Four Hantengu, with a large bump on his forehead, spoke weakly.
Seeing this, Gyokko, Gyutaro, and Daki were all greatly surprised.
If all four of them were still alive, it meant that one of the Upper Three Moons had died.
At this point, none of them could smile anymore, with no joy of promotion.
Because they clearly knew the huge gap between themselves and the Upper Three Moons.
Since the opponent could kill one of the Upper Three Moons, they could also kill them.
Thinking of this, both Gyokko and Gyutaro felt a chill in their hearts.
Just then.
"Hantengu, Gyokko, Daki, and Gyutaro, you're all still alive. Then it must have been Akaza who died this time! What a pity!"
Upper Moon Two Doma, with rainbow-like pupils, appeared with a smile.
Thump-thump~
Heavy footsteps sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
It was Upper Moon One Kokushibo, slowly approaching!!!
Gulp!
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Daki, Gyutaro, and the others couldn't help but gasp.
Looking at Doma and Kokushibo appearing one after another, the answer was already obvious.
The Upper Moon killed by a Demon Slayer this time was indeed the third-ranked Akaza.
Just how powerful was that Demon Slayer Corps swordsman?
He could even kill Upper Moon Three Akaza.
Boom!
Just then.
An unparalleled pressure descended.
Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan, had arrived!!!
