Chapter 85: The Pillars' Meeting, the Pillars Getting Beaten Up
Another day has passed.
The wind and snow continue.
Everyone put on warm clothes.
Ye Xiao walked towards the Ubuyashiki mansion, with Erica and Liliana following behind him.
"Your Majesty, it is very worrying that you, as the king, did not take your ministers with you. Your Majesty must trust us, your subjects!"
"That's right, as our king, he should lead us and doesn't need to do it himself."
Erica and Liliana were muttering to themselves behind her.
After all, as Erica put it, the king needs someone to do his bidding.
But Ye Xiao didn't care about any of that.
Just kidding, of course I should do something as fun as teasing Muzan by myself.
As for Tanjiro's family...
Yesterday morning, Ye Xiao took the family to town and then returned to the Butterfly House.
However, if you're cooking beans in the stove...
Ye Xiao kept one of her summoning cards, though she figured she probably wouldn't need it.
The others, the Butterfly Sisters, have already arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
Meanwhile, the little angel Amesia was taking care of and treating the wounded in the Butterfly Mansion, after all, this girl was really too kind.
Yurikawa Hana and Kanroji Mitsuri are together.
Yotsuya Miko and Shizuka Kaori spent the whole night searching for ghosts yesterday and found quite a few.
Walking through the wisteria grove, the group soon arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
Lively sounds came from inside the house.
After all, how could Kanae Butterfly, who had long since died, not be excited to come back to life?
Ye Xiao knocked on the door.
A moment later, the gate was wide open.
The same little girl who opened the door was the same one from last time. This time, Ye Xiao learned her name—Ubuyashiki Hina.
"Lord Akatsuki, Father and the Pillars have arrived."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Hina."
Ye Xiao walked in as he spoke, and of course, he didn't forget to pat the little girl's head.
Erica and Liliana followed closely behind.
Ye Xiao walked into the courtyard.
The noise subsided, and everyone's eyes turned to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao, who was being stared at, didn't care about any of this.
Ye Xiao glanced around and saw that besides the two pillars, the Butterfly Sisters, there were six other familiar faces.
The Sound Pillar, nicknamed "Glamorous Guy," is a man with a very handsome face, a strong physique, and a headdress adorned with dazzling gemstones.
Tall and imposing, dressed in monk's robes, with a string of prayer beads tucked in his hands, the "Compassionate War God" rock pillar—Beimeiyu Xingming—is blind yet possesses highly developed tear ducts.
Standing in the corner, looking a bit withdrawn, is the water column that says, "I'm not disliked"—Tomioka Giyuu.
Following closely behind are the two "heroic" duo: the hot-tempered Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and the sharp-tongued Snake Pillar, Obanai Iguro.
And the last one, with blonde hair ending in red that shone brightly in the sunlight, and a pair of piercing eyes beneath thick black eyebrows.
He looks exactly like an owl; this is none other than the beloved Flame Pillar, Rengoku Kyojuro.
Everyone looked at the man who had saved the flower pillar with some curiosity.
Ye Xiao then ignored everyone's gaze and walked towards Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
"Kagoya, how are you feeling?"
"Thank you for your concern, my lord. Thanks to Miss Asia, my wound is much better."
As Kagaya Ubuyashiki finished speaking.
"My lord!?"
Apart from Kanae and Shinobu, all the other Pillars stared at their lord in disbelief.
Why would your own lord call the guy next to you "lord"?
No one could understand it.
Uzui Tengen looked utterly bewildered. "My lord! This joke isn't exactly elegant!"
"Amitabha."
Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. "My lord, is there something you're having trouble telling me?"
Kyojuro Rengoku crossed his arms and shouted, "My lord! Forgive my rudeness! No one can replace you in our hearts!"
Obanai Iguro and Giyu Tomioka are the same.
He couldn't understand why his lord was calling the man next to him "lord."
Meanwhile, our super-powerful child, Sanemi Shinazugawa, got up and walked directly towards Ye Xiao, trying to pull him down.
In their eyes, there is only one master of the Demon Slayer Corps.
That was Ubuyashiki Kagaya.
"Hey! What have you done to our lord...?"
He hadn't finished speaking.
A figure flashed past quickly.
There was a loud bang.
Sanemi Shinazugawa was pinned to the ground by Liliana, unable to move.
Such immense power.
"Do not be disrespectful to our king!"
Liliana said calmly, pressing down on Shinazugawa Sanemi.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was being held down, was also surprised by the immense strength, but he still resisted with all his might.
Seeing Shinazugawa Sanemi pinned to the ground, the others couldn't sit still any longer.
"Hey! What are you doing...?"
"Mr. Uzui Tengen, don't move around, even if you were my former colleague."
"That was quite a spectacular move, but Miss Insect Pillar, haven't you betrayed your lord?!"
Uzui Tengen, who originally wanted to make a move, was also held down by Kocho Shinobu with one hand, and Uzui Tengen stared intently at Kocho Shinobu.
Butterfly chuckled, "I'm sorry, but we haven't betrayed our lord."
The snake pillar and water pillar were also unable to be stopped by Kanae.
Rock Pillar tried to get up, but Erica pressed down on his shoulder with one hand, preventing him from doing so.
Everyone except Kyojuro Rengoku was suppressed.
"Yaozai, it seems you are very popular with them."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya smiled and nodded in response to Ye Xiao's words. "My lord, you flatter me. They are not just swordsmen, but also my children. So please do not blame them."
"It's alright, I'm just a sentimental person. Go on."
At this moment, Rengoku Kyojuro stepped forward and shouted, "My lord, please forgive our rudeness, but we simply want to know why you call him 'lord'!"
Ubuyashiki Kōya was helpless.
He bowed to Ye Xiao and then stood up and came to them.
The Butterfly Sisters, Erica, and Liliana let go of Ye Xiao's hand and came behind him.
Sanemi Shinazugawa wanted to continue his outburst, but he quieted down when he saw his lord approaching, and then bowed respectfully.
"I'm sorry, my children. This is the future I see, a future that can change you and me. Kibushi Muzan will be destroyed, and there will be no more demons."
As the words fell.
Shinazugawa Sanemi looked up and said, "Even so, I will not call him 'Lord'!"
"That's right."
"Reconsider."
Ye Xiao listened to their conversation, smiled, and then got up and went to Ubuyashiki Kagaya's side.
"I will never be your lord, I am only Kagaya's lord."
Ye Xiao crossed his arms and smiled as he continued, "As for the content of this meeting, tonight I will be leading a team to attack Muzan. I wonder if anyone is interested?"
(Brothers, I'm exhausted from writing. I work on civil engineering during the day and write at night, it's really tough. That's all for this chapter, I'll try to finish Demon Slayer in the next three or four chapters.)
