Chapter 445 What are you guys doing?
Although Zenitsu's betrayal left Tanjiro speechless, it was reasonable and within his expectations.
If I had to put it into words, it would be hard to imagine that Zenitsu could be so assertive in front of Ikuko.
"Alright, let's go." Yuko rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay any attention to Zenitsu.
Talking to these idiots always feels like they're eating away at her brain.
"Yes, ma'am!" Zenitsu quickly got up and led the way.
Since neither Shinobu Kocho nor Kanae wanted to participate, Ikuko didn't intend to disturb their rest.
Stepping out of the Butterfly Mansion, the Demon Slayer Corps' base was deserted. There were hardly any lights on inside the buildings, and many people had already left in just one afternoon.
Most of the remaining people hadn't even packed their bags yet. In another two or three days, the Demon Slayer Corps would truly cease to exist.
The Demon Slayer Corps has a training dojo, but it wasn't used during special training periods due to insufficient space. However, it's quite spacious for their current battle.
On the way, Yuko asked curiously, "Have you thought about what you'll do after leaving the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Upon hearing this, Zenitsu cupped his face in his hands and contorted his body: "Of course, it's to build a love nest just for Nezuko and me~"
Yuko glanced at Tanjiro and found that the guy's emotions were frighteningly stable. Her lips twitched: "Fine, just pretend I didn't ask."
If she had a cute little sister, and the person who liked her was Zenitsu, she'd probably want to chop Zenitsu up.
Of course, Zenitsu is only a bit of a flirt on the surface, but he is actually trustworthy. However, if you really want someone like Tanjiro who just keeps laughing like an idiot, I can't do it myself.
Tanjiro smiled and said, "As for me, I'll probably continue selling charcoal."
Zenitsu asked in confusion, "Huh? Why? Didn't our lord give us a lot of money?"
Tanjiro scratched his head sheepishly: "Indeed, that sum of money is enough for our family to use."
"But I still want to find something to do."
Life is actually quite long, and it seems even longer after you've solved your financial problems. If you don't find something to do, it can get really boring.
If Ikuko didn't have Muzan as a target for her for hundreds of years, she would probably be bored to death.
Immortality wasn't as wonderful as Yuko had imagined.
At least, that's what she thought.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Ikuko noticed that Inosuke had not yet spoken, and couldn't help but cast her gaze towards him.
"What about you?"
Inosuke just picked his nose and walked forward.
Tanjiro nudged him: "Inosuke? What do you want to do in the future?"
"Huh?" Inosuke turned around in confusion.
Clearly, he did not hear their conversation.
"...No, it's nothing."
……
After exchanging a few words, the three arrived at the training ground.
The moment she opened the door, Yuko froze.
Inside the dojo, men and women sat in two rows facing each other on either side of the dojo, including Shinobu Kocho, who had tricked Ikuko during the day.
All the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps were present, including Genya and Kanao, two swordsmen who, despite not being Pillars, possessed strength comparable to Pillars and played a significant role in the battle against Muzan.
Directly in front of him sat Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
It looked exactly like a joint meeting.
Zenitsu rubbed his hands excitedly and couldn't wait to sit down on the other side.
Although he didn't obtain the identity of the Pillar, in this situation, no one can say that he isn't a Pillar, right?
Inosuke scratched his head before Ikuko could even react, asking, "What's going on? Weren't we supposed to fight?"
"Wait a minute!" Tanjiro quickly chuckled and dragged him to sit down next to Zenitsu.
A look of confusion appeared on Yuko's face: "What is this?"
"Shinobu, Kanae, you two aren't..."
Judging from the way this group of people acted, they didn't seem like they wanted to beat her up.
Moreover, why do they all have that ambiguous, half-smiling expression? It's as if she's the only one being kept in the dark.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki said with a smile, "Although Sanemi is not good at expressing himself, he is kind-hearted and will not pretend to be fierce to his benefactor."
Shinazugawa Sanemi's face flushed slightly, and he waved his hand hastily: "My lord, didn't we agree not to talk about this?"
Yu Zi had an expression that said, "An old man on the subway looking at his phone."
She has no problem with this guy being kind-hearted, but do you think he wouldn't pretend to be fierce?
Ubuyashiki, do you have absolutely no idea what your subordinates are capable of?
Even if the scars on his face disappear, this guy is still no pushover.
Although confused by everyone's actions, Yuko understood one thing easily.
She was cheated.
Yuko's eyelids twitched: "So, this is?"
"Actually, everyone wanted to express their gratitude to Yuko, but they were worried that Yuko would feel uncomfortable because there were so many people around during the day, so..." Shinobu Kocho explained.
"So, you just let those idiots deliberately provoke me?" Yu Zi felt a headache coming on. "And do you really think I won't feel uncomfortable now?"
All she feels right now is a headache.
Yuko is indeed someone who doesn't like big scenes. If Kagaya Ubuyashiki were to express his gratitude to her in front of the entire Demon Slayer Corps, she would probably feel more socially awkward than touched.
But these dozen or so people would also make Yuko feel uncomfortable!
Shinobu Kocho was well aware of this, but she covered her mouth and chuckled, "About this, Yuuko, you'll just have to bear with it."
Yu Zi nodded casually: "Alright, then you can start kowtowing now."
"?"
Isn't that a bit too much?
While it's not wrong to be completely grateful for such kindness, saying it so directly would make them feel ashamed.
Yuko drew her Nichirin Blade from her waist: "That's all I'll say. There's no need for thanks. I'm just here to beat people up. Anyone want to try?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Shinobu Kocho smiled knowingly first: "Yuko really is something else, not honest at all."
Sanemi Shinazugawa stood up: "Perfect, I also think this is too awkward. Let's keep our thanks to ourselves."
Yu Zi tilted her head: "You just want to use this as an excuse to beat me up, right?"
Sanemi Shinazugawa grinned: "Aren't you one?"
Yuko returned the smile.
She is absolutely right.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at everyone with a helpless smile: "Since Miss Ikuko has said so..."
He stood up slowly.
After the curse was lifted, he could move freely without the support of his wife or children.
Today is the first time he has acted alone since recovering his health.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at Ikuko solemnly: "Miss Ikuko, the Ubuyashiki family will always be your friends, and the doors of Ubuyashiki will always be open for you."
He didn't say Demon Slayer Corps, but used the name Ubuyashiki instead.
The Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded.
The words spoken by Kagaya Ubuyashiki himself made everyone feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But they also knew deep down that the Demon Slayer Corps should never have existed.
A world without the Demon Slayer Corps would be a better world.
Yu Zi smiled and waved her hand: "There's no need for nice words. I chose to help you because I know you well."
No one understands the Demon Slayer Corps of this era better than her, and what kind of character they possess.
Or rather, this is the kind of quality that the main characters should possess.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki bowed slightly: "I am honored to receive such praise."
Yuko did not back down and accepted his respect.
It wasn't that she felt they should, but rather that she didn't want them to mess around; she was easily embarrassed.
