Chapter 51 In the Infinite City
"Then please give me a sun blade that can kill evil spirits."
"No problem. Let Fuzugawa, whose sword is also damaged, and Tengen accompany you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ubuyashiki immediately agreed, because he understood that Wolf's request for the Nichirin Sword meant that Wolf would kill the evil spirits.
Even if Wolf didn't join the Demon Slayer Corps, it would certainly not hurt to have such a powerful helper.
In response to the lord's order, Uzui Tengen, who had always wanted to have a good chat with the wolf, readily accepted it.
"As you wish, I'll go ask the swordsmiths to take good care of my two swords."
As for Fuzukawa, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Damn it! It was this guy who broke my sword, and now he wants me to accompany him to the Sword Forging Village to get the sword!
But until the end, Uzui, who was worried that the other two pillars would hold grudges against Wolf if he told them, only said it silently in his heart.
"Tsk...As you wish."
Seeing this, Ubuyashiki nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Kyojuro.
"Kyojuro."
"exist!"
Hearing his lord's call, Kyojuro quickly responded loudly.
"Don't be nervous. Please tell Senior Rengoku that the position of Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps will always be reserved for him."
"My Lord...Yes! I will definitely tell my father!"
So noisy!!
Kyojuro, moved by Ubuyashiki's words, spoke even louder, causing everyone to cast reproachful glances at him.
Ubuyashiki just chuckled at this, then looked at everyone and bowed slowly.
"Then let's end this meeting."
At this moment, everyone except the wolf lowered their heads and spoke at the same time.
"Farewell, my lord!"
As Ubuyashiki and Amane walked back to the mansion, the pillars stood up. At this time, Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu turned around and was about to leave without saying a word, but was grabbed by the shoulder by Fuzukawa.
He tilted his head to look at the big hand that was holding his shoulder tightly, Yiyong's expression remained unchanged, and a few notes popped out of his mouth coldly.
"what's up?"
What made Busikawa most angry was this cold attitude, not only from Giyuu, but also from the wolf behind him.
"Hey, what did you mean by that sentence before...explain it to me clearly!"
Looking at Busei's somewhat ferocious face, Yiyong tried to recall what question he had asked, and after thinking about it, he finally said something lightly.
"I'm different from you."
Then he broke free from Busei's hand, jumped onto the wisteria tree, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Gah!!"
This was the sound of Busei gritting his teeth, but before he could explode, another sunny but slightly noisy sound rang out.
"Now that it's over, I have to go home and tell my father what the lord has said. Goodbye, everyone!"
After saying this, he also disappeared into the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Uzui Tengen, Kanae and Wolf took this opportunity to discuss their next move.
"Hey, Sekiro, tell Yin to go to the Swordsmith Village. On the way, I'll talk to you about how to regain your emotions."
"No! Mr. Sekiro, you need to discuss with me first about how to trade the pills and [God's Snow]!"
"… Let's go back to the Butterfly House first. I forgot something there."
Having said that, what Wolf forgot was how to trade the pills and [God's Snow] to Kanae.
Could it be that he took it directly from his possession? But how could he explain that?
It seems that I can only go back to the Butterfly House and use the Ghost Buddha's ability to save people...
"Mr. Sekiro, you're really... But the one driving the carriage shouldn't have left, so we should still be able to catch up."
"Feel sorry…"
With that, the three of them left the courtyard and headed out of the headquarters. At the same time, Uzui did not forget to call upon Busei who wanted to go to the Swordsmith Village together.
"Buzukawa, hurry up, or you'll have no choice but to run back to the Butterfly House!"
The voice echoed above Busokawa's head, and suddenly Busokawa and Xingming were the only ones left in the huge courtyard.
"Amitabha... Then I have to go back to my residence to rest and prepare another string of Buddhist beads... Goodbye."
Two lines of hot tears flowed down his face. After saying goodbye to Busikawa, Xingming clasped his hands together and walked out of the courtyard step by step.
Quack, quack, quack
A few crows cried out in the air with unpleasant sounds, as if they were mocking the Busei River at this moment.
"You bastards!!"
--------
At this time, in an unknown area, countless wooden attics seemed to be spliced together in a messy manner by something, but the candlelight in the attics was still bright, revealing a hint of beauty in this chaos.
This place is the lair of the Ghost King Muzan - Infinite City!
At this moment, an evil ghost with pink hair, pale skin, and blue striped tattoos representing sinners appeared out of nowhere.
With a calm expression, he looked around and muttered to himself.
"Another dimension, Infinite City. Being called here means..."
The pupils trembled, and at this moment the words in the evil ghost's eyes appeared.
【Wing】【Three】
"An upper rank was killed by a demon hunter!"
His tone was shocked, his fists were clenched, veins bulged out on his skin, he seemed to be angry, but then he relaxed.
With arms outstretched, he fell straight into the abyss below.
call!
The strong wind blew past my ears, passing through the numerous mixed buildings and a beautiful lotus pond. A tatami floor appeared in front of me. I turned over slowly and flexibly in the air, and while landing on the floor, I released the momentum of falling.
He stood up on the floor, and the floor continued to rise. When he was about to reach the top, the ceiling opened up to make way for him with the sound of a pipa.
Finally, it stopped in another chaotic space.
"Qiang~"
The sound of the pipa attracted the attention of the tattooed evil ghost. He turned his head to look at the source of the sound and saw a woman with bangs completely covering her eyes, kneeling there, holding a pipa.
Before he could ask, a lively pot on the platform on the other side attracted him again.
A muffled sound came from the pot.
"Isn't this Akaza-sama?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound as if countless fish trapped together and churning in slime came from the pot.
Then four pairs of pale hands reached out to the mouth of the pot, and a disgusting and strange figure crawled out of the pot.
"It's great to see you so energetic~"
"It's been about 90 years since we last met... hehe."
Looking closely, two green lips were opening and closing making sounds where the other person's eyes should be, and a huge eye was where the other person's mouth should be.
Behind the deformed head, several baby-like arms made up his hair, and there was an eye on his forehead, and these two eyes were exactly.
【Winding】
【五】
That’s right, this ghost is none other than Upper Rank Five Yuhu!
At this moment, he was twisting his body out of the mouth of the pot, and talking to Akaza with a laugh.
"I thought you were killed, and I was so excited... cough cough, but I was so sad that my chest felt uncomfortable, hehe~"
Hearing that the other party was deliberately provoking him, Akaza's face changed, but a presence suddenly appeared behind him, and he turned his head sharply to look!
"Well!"
“So scared, so scared…”
A thin, old, green-skinned ghost hid behind the stair railing, muttering to himself.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, Yu Hu already can't even do arithmetic..."
There was no number in the other's eyes, but both of them knew that this cowardly old man was [Upper String Four] Hantengu!
"The last time we were called here was 107 years ago. 107... a number that cannot be divided evenly. An odd number! An unlucky odd number! Um..."
After saying that, I don’t know what he was thinking about, he hugged himself and huddled up in fear.
Just then, a coquettish voice sounded from the landing above his stairs.
"Huh?! Old man, what's there to be afraid of about odd numbers? Don't you think so, brother?"
Akaza looked up and saw a scantily clad figure standing there, but there was no "brother" she was talking about.
The beautiful girl also noticed Akaza's gaze and glared back at him without giving any excuses.
The words in his eyes were also revealed at this moment.
【First quarter】【Long】
"Hey, you ugly bastard, what are you looking at? Be careful or I'll dig your eyes out!"
Although he was insulted for no reason, Akaza was not angry. He just looked at the angry Upper Six and thought to himself.
After not seeing each other for so many years, this idiot Daki has become even more stupid...
Then he ignored the other upper strings and turned to look at Mingnu who had been silently playing the pipa.
"Hey, Pipa-chan, isn't Lord Muzan here?"
"Qiang!"
The sound of the pipa rose high, and Mingnu responded to Akaza in her unique lyric-like tone.
"I haven't seen Master Muzan yet."
Hearing this, Akaza spoke again, but this time there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"What about Upper String One? He didn't die in battle, did he?"
