Demon Slayer: You call paying to get stronger "lightning"?

Page 53

At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his wife Amane slowly walked out from behind the corridor.

All the pillars present immediately restrained their auras and bowed respectfully.

"My lord!"

"Gentlemen, there's no need for such formalities."

Kagaya's voice remained gentle.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Ryosuke, a relieved smile spreading across his face.

"Everyone is here. This is Yasui Ryosuke, who single-handedly killed the Lower Moon Four Zero in Tsukigura Town half a month ago. From today onwards, he will officially succeed as the Sound Pillar."

Ryosuke stepped forward again and bowed respectfully to Kagaya and his colleagues.

"Yasui Ryosuke will do everything in his power to slay all evil spirits and protect the world!"

Kagaya smiled and nodded, then asked with concern, "Mr. Ryosuke, has your injury fully healed?"

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I am now out of danger."

Ryosuke answered, his gaze unconsciously sweeping across the room, a look of confusion on his face.

"My lord, may I ask why Mr. Rengoku Makijuro has not arrived?"

The atmosphere in the courtyard froze for a moment when Makijuro was mentioned.

Yaozai sighed softly, his voice low.

"Mr. Ryosuke is unaware that...Mr. Makijuro's wife, Mrs. Ruka, passed away a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Ryosuke's heart sank.

It's time to come.

Although he had expected it, he still felt a tightness in his chest when he heard the news with his own ears.

The medical level of this era was ultimately limited; if it weren't for the system, his dilapidated body would have given up long ago.

No one could reverse the chronic illness that had plagued Makijuro's wife for many years.

Just thinking about that bold and fiery man, who is now suffering the pain of losing his wife.

The thought of Kyojuro and Senjuro losing their mother weighed heavily on Ryosuke's heart.

We can't let Makijuro continue down this path of despair...

I have to go see him no matter what!

Even if it's just for that brat Kyojuro, I have to give it a try.

Ryosuke silently made his decision.

Kagaya seemed to have seen through his thoughts, but said nothing and continued to chair the meeting.

The meeting mainly summarized the mission situation over the past year, team member casualties, changes in the range of the demons' activities, and a list of some outstanding team members.

Unsurprisingly, the authoritative Xiaowushan area has produced a wealth of talented individuals.

Subsequently, Kagaya began to redivide the jurisdiction of each pillar.

Yes, each pillar has a corresponding jurisdiction, which needs to be patrolled and investigated, and some high-intensity tasks are assigned to kill evil spirits.

This is also the daily routine and responsibility of a Pillar.

The current Mizukawa Shizuru is getting old and his energy is waning.

The area of ​​Narrow Mist Mountain that he was originally in charge of was assigned to Ryosuke and Himejima Gyomei for joint patrol.

Ryosuke had no objection to this arrangement.

Mount Narrow Mt. is the territory of Sakonji Urokodaki, where Sabito, Giyu, Obanai, and the Kanae sisters all reside.

Both for his own sake and for his own, he will definitely need to supervise those future stars frequently in the future, so it would be most appropriate for him to take charge of them as well.

Beimingyu nodded silently.

As the meeting drew to a close, Ryosuke remembered a proposal he had been considering for a long time and spoke up.

"My lord, gentlemen, I have a proposal to make."

All eyes were on him.

"When I was carrying out the mission entrusted to me by Mr. Himejima, I rescued a pair of sisters named Kanae and Shinobu. They came from a pharmacy and were well-versed in pharmacology."

Everyone was taken aback.

In this era, medical professionals are absolutely scarce!

Ryosuke continued, "Our Demon Slayer Corps members have been fighting demons for years, and have suffered heavy casualties."

"Many team members have died because they did not receive timely and effective treatment, or have been left with irreversible sequelae, resulting in a loss of combat effectiveness."

Ryosuke looked around at everyone, his tone solemn.

"I think we urgently need to establish a specialized medical institution to concentrate excellent doctors and drug resources to ensure that injured team members can receive the best treatment as soon as possible."

"This is crucial for maintaining combat capability."

Upon hearing this, Beimingyu softly chanted a Buddhist prayer.

“Namo Amitabha Buddha… Mr. Yasui is absolutely right. If timely treatment had been provided, many tragedies could have been avoided.”

Wind Pillar Shimada Tsuyoshi and Water Pillar Mizukawa Shizuru nodded thoughtfully.

They have experienced the helplessness of too many comrades dying from their injuries, and they deeply understand this.

"Mr. Ryosuke's advice was very timely and useful."

A glint of admiration flashed in Yaozai's eyes as he spoke gently.

“Since you rescued the Butterfly Sisters and became acquainted with them, I would like to trouble Mr. Ryosuke to make a trip to Mount Narrow Mist to discuss this with Mr. Urokodaki and the Butterfly Sisters.”

"If they agree, the Ubuyashiki family will fully support us and implement it as soon as possible."

Ryosuke clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.

Well, I've only been back a short while, and they're already dividing up territory and assigning tasks, and now they want me to act as a mediator...

You can’t use the production team’s donkey like this!

From today onwards! My name is no longer Yasui Ryosuke!

I'm changing my name to Yasui Niuma!

Despite his inner complaints, Ryosuke understood the importance of the matter.

Furthermore, he was indeed the most suitable person to persuade the Butterfly Sisters to establish the Butterfly House.

Liang Jie nodded in agreement.

"Yes, my lord."

The meeting concluded.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Kagaya called out to Ryosuke.

"Mr. Ryosuke, if you're not in a hurry, would you like to walk with me a little longer?"

I, Yasui Niuma, am very busy right now, brother!

That's what I was thinking, but I still had to give face to my boss.

"It is my honor, my lord."

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the courtyard in a warm golden hue.

Kagaya strolled along the corridor accompanied by Ryosuke.

"Mr. Ryosuke, are you going to the Rengoku family later?"

Ryosuke nodded: "Mr. Makijuro is both my teacher and friend, and he even saved my life. I must go."

"That's fine..."

Yaozai nodded: "I didn't want you to take on so much work, but you can see the situation now."

Ryosuke touched his chin and gave an awkward smile.

In short, nobody uses it anymore.

The two walked through the long corridor and arrived at the rear courtyard.

Surprisingly, this place turned out to be a cemetery.

“This is…” Ryosuke was taken aback.

"These are all members of the Demon Slayer Corps who sacrificed their lives."

Kagaya lowered his eyes and said softly, "They served the Demon Slayer Corps in life, and they deserve a place to rest in peace after death."

Kagaya remembers the name of every fallen member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Upon seeing this cemetery, Ryosuke understood that this was by no means an underestimation of himself.

The wisteria flowers all around were blooming beautifully.

Yaozai didn't say anything, but took a coarse cloth and stepped forward to personally sweep the graves of the team members.

Ryosuke sighed and stepped forward to help.

Whether out of humanitarian considerations or other reasons, he couldn't just stand by and watch.

After all, the leader has already set off; can you just sit there drinking tea?

When the leader picks up food, I turn the table; when the leader opens the door, I get into the car; when the leader speaks, I speak first.

These are just jokes; very few people would act like that in the workplace.

Of course, the cute little silly one is an exception~

Ryosuke also understood that, as a peer, Kagaya was bearing more than he was.

The family's expectations, the curse of not living past thirty, the daily management of the Demon Slayer Corps, and Amane's child-making...

Kagaya wanted to defeat Muzan and end his fate here.

No one wants to die before the age of thirty, and no one wants to die with regrets and resentment.
