Rengoku Kyojuro scratched his head, looking curiously at Roya lying on the bed and Kanroji Mitsuri sitting upright beside him.
Almost the instant Rengoku Kyojuro entered, Kanroji Mitsuri shoved Roya away. The force was so great that even Roya didn't have time to react and ended up hitting his head on the ground.
Kanroji Mitsuri hurriedly pulled Roya up, and with an embarrassed smile, bowed to Rengoku Kyojuro and said, "Well then, I'll leave the rest to Mr. Rengoku. I'll be going now!"
After saying that, he turned and ran. Watching Steam Princess's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Roya fell into deep thought.
The kiss felt surprisingly good, almost making Roja's bow tie spin.
Fortunately, he managed to suppress the gun at the last moment, thus avoiding an embarrassing situation.
Okay, I can try it a few more times next time.
Rengoku Kyojuro looked at Kanroji Mitsuri, who was running away in a panic, with a strange expression and said with some emotion, "Kanroji Mitsuri, that little girl, is still so impulsive. Oh, by the way, I heard you ran into Upper Moon One and were badly injured?"
Roya glanced around, and considering that Kyojuro Rengoku might inadvertently reveal his information, he nodded.
Kyojuro Rengoku continued, "Upper Moon One is dead?"
Roya nodded again. Rengoku Kyojuro exhaled, stood up, and looked up at the sky outside. He murmured, "Is that so? Now there are only three Upper Moons left. Muzan Kibutsuji won't be able to sit still, will he?"
Luo Ya stared blankly at Rengoku Kyojuro's retreating figure. Did the other person still have moments of sorrow?
Rhodes felt that Kyojuro Rengoku was an optimist, the kind of person who wasn't afraid of anything. However, it seems that Rhodes didn't understand Kyojuro Rengoku, who also had his worries.
Rengoku Kyojuro smiled at Roya and said, "Handsome young man, you should heal your injuries quickly, things might get a little turbulent in the coming days."
Roya nodded. Things were indeed not peaceful. Given Muzan Kibutsuji's personality, he was probably already trying to find out the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and then wipe out the entire Demon Slayer Corps.
If the death of Upper Moon Three only enraged Muzan, the death of Upper Moon One truly instilled fear in him.
Kyojuro Rengoku nodded, looked around, and after a moment of observation, suddenly asked curiously, "When will you be able to train us?"
Luo Ya thought for a moment and said, "My lord will probably summon me later, and I will bring it up then."
Logically speaking, Roya should rest for a while after his injury, but when it comes to top-tier combatants like Upper Moon One, it's better to ask for clarification.
Kyojuro Rengoku nodded, revealing a cheerful expression, and said to Kyojuro Rengoku, "Well then, handsome boy, you should rest well. We'll have to rely on you from now on."
Roya nodded, and Rengoku Kyojuro didn't say anything more. After exchanging a few words with Roya, he took his leave.
But after the other party left, other pillars arrived one after another.
First came Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka, especially Shinobu Kocho, who approached with a big smile and looked at Roya with a beaming smile, saying, "Oh my, you're so badly injured! I've never seen you look so miserable before!"
He glanced at it briefly, then frowned and said with some surprise, "Huh, your injury doesn't seem that serious?"
After saying that, Shinobu Kocho was about to reach out and touch Roja's bandaged wound, but Roja dodged her hand expressionlessly.
Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka are both the kind of guys who don't talk much but whose mouths are absolutely sealed. Since Shinobu Kocho saw through him, Roya stopped pretending and nodded directly, saying, "I was indeed a little injured at first, but this time the main purpose was to lure out Muzan Kibutsuji, so I deliberately pretended to be like this."
"Hmm? Is that so? Indeed, losing so many Upper Moons at once, even the Demon King wouldn't be able to sit still, right? But in that case, your situation will be very dangerous, won't it?" Shinobu Kocho still wore that faint smile, and her purple eyes, which were usually devoid of any emotion, were now radiating vitality for some reason.
Roya said nonchalantly, "To be honest, I plan to deal with Muzan by myself this time. As for you, just hold off the remaining Upper Moons."
Upon hearing Roya's words, both of their expressions changed. Shinobu Kocho still wore a smile, but it seemed somewhat forced. She simply said to Roya, "Don't you have any faith in the strength of our Demon Slayer Corps? We are, after all, Pillars."
Before they could finish speaking, Roya interrupted them, saying, "I know what you're trying to say, but this time it's really not possible. Only I can deal with that monster."
Shinobu Kocho frowned and said directly, "I can help you."
Roya nodded and said to Shinobu Kocho, "I know you can help me, and I do need your help. I can't let Muzan Kibutsuji get away. He must die by my sword this time."
Butterfly asked, puzzled, "Then why did you refuse our help?"
Roya looked at Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka and said, "There are still three Upper Moons. Besides me, we have eight Pillars. With your strength, if you were to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji, you wouldn't be able to cause him any trouble without sending three Pillar-level swordsmen."
The two fell into deep thought; what Roya said made sense.
Roya glanced at the two of them and continued, "If we use three Pillars to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji, then we'll only have five Pillars left to fight three Upper Moons. Do you think we can win? Or what price would we have to pay to defeat them?"
Before Shinobu could speak, Giyu Tomioka coldly declared, "Slaying demons is the duty of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even if we die there, what does it matter? The Demon Slayer Corps will not fear sacrifice, and as a Pillar, I will fear even less."
Roya shook his head and said to the two of them, "Trust me, I can handle this."
Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka exchanged a glance, but then shook their heads in unison.
Shinobu Kocho said to Roya, "It's not that we don't want to believe you, it's just that this battle may very well be the final one. We have to use all our trump cards, even if it's just the slightest chance of winning, we're willing to sacrifice some of our own."
Luo Ya was speechless, and felt utterly ashamed in the face of this group of stubborn pillars.
Before Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka had left, another uninvited guest appeared outside.
A burly young man with long white hair tied in a bun, originally quite handsome, and wearing a headband inlaid with purple gems and blue decorations walked over. Who else could this be but Uzui Tengen?
When Yuzui Tengen entered the room, he was slightly taken aback. He glanced at everyone present and said, "I thought this guy wasn't very popular. I didn't expect so many people to come and visit him."
Sitting on the bed, Luo Ya's lips twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly, "So, you've come to visit me too?"
Uzui Tengen nodded, struck what he thought was a very cool pose, and said to Roya, "A magnificent young man. Someone who can rival me in magnificence is someone I should at least care about. Seeing that you're still alive, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Luo Ya suppressed the urge to punch the other person and said expressionlessly, "Did you come here just to say something that raises my blood pressure?"
Uzui Tengen asked curiously, "What did I say? Ahem, let's not talk about that. The main purpose of my visit is to ask you, is Upper Moon One really dead?"
Luo Ya repeated the same words he had said countless times: "Dead."
Uzui Tengen nodded and said, "Then I should also make some preparations."
Luo Ya frowned. He could see that these pillars already exuded an aura of impending storm.
Two more Pillars arrived, both coming to visit Roya. Almost all the Pillars had come to visit Roya. After dealing with everyone, a Thulhu crow flew in from outside the house, and two Demon Slayer Corps members walked in from outside the courtyard, saying to Roya, "Our lord invites you."
Luo Ya had already anticipated this, so he wasn't too surprised. He nodded to the other party to indicate that he understood.
The two Demon Slayer Corps members in front of him were the same two who had brought Roya up the mountain before. Needless to say, Roya knew pretty much where the information had come from. He glared at the two of them and said weakly, "Then help me up."
Shinobu Kocho suppressed a laugh, but couldn't help glancing away with amusement.
Roya was helped up by the two and walked towards where Kagaya Ubuyashiki was.
Upon entering the courtyard, one is greeted by the blooming wisteria flowers, filling the courtyard with their fragrance. Strangely enough, this wisteria tree seems to bloom endlessly.
Upon reaching the center, one could see Kagaya Ubuyashiki sitting directly above.
Roya raised an eyebrow slightly and greeted Ubuyashiki Kagaya, "Yo, good morning?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki laughed and said, "It's no longer morning, Roya. I heard from my subordinates that you killed Kokushibo. Is that true?"
Luo Ya nodded and repeated the whole story once again.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki frowned after hearing this. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked Roya, "Are you confident you can deal with Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Luo Ya thought for a moment and said, "I'm about 80% sure."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was slightly taken aback. He seemed not to have expected Roya to be so confident as to say that he was 80% sure.
In Kagaya Ubuyashiki's opinion, a 20% chance of success would already be considered very good.
However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not dwell on this matter or ask any further questions. Since Roya said he was 80% certain, then he was 80% certain.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki pondered for a moment, then asked again, "What if we add a few Pillars?"
Roya's expression became somewhat subtle as he looked at Ubuyashiki Kagaya and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki rubbed his forehead and said, "Stop playing coy at a time like this, just tell the truth!"
Luo Ya nodded and said, "To be honest, with Zhu, I'm only 60% confident."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. This time, he was genuinely curious and asked, "Why?"
Roya said, "As you can see, the Pillars are not mature yet, and their potential has not been fully explored. Pillars at this level are simply no match for Muzan and will be instantly killed by him."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki held his teacup and continued listening to Roya say, "When I fought Kokushibo, I held back a trick. This trick should be able to severely injure Muzan Kibutsuji when he tries to escape."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki fell into deep thought.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked up at Roya. The summer sun shone on Roya, whose appearance was very strange, looking like a bizarre mummy.
But who would have thought that the boy in front of us had single-handedly annihilated Upper Moon One and Upper Moon Three?
Kagaya Ubuyashiki gave Roya a deep look, then stood up and bowed deeply to him. Kagaya Ubuyashiki earnestly said, "Then, it all depends on you. Let the conflict between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons end in our generation."
Luo Ya nodded, patted his chest, and said, "No problem."
As Ubuyashiki Kagaya finished speaking, his expression gradually brightened. He stretched his hand out towards the outside, his eyes shining with joy. Ubuyashiki Kagaya asked Roya, "Is your injury alright?"
Luo Ya said, "It's a minor problem. I've already recovered. I'm just waiting for Muzan Kibutsuji to issue his challenge."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki chuckled and shook his head. He said with a smile, "Then, the training of the Pillars from now on will depend on you."
Roya was slightly taken aback, wondering how the other party had learned the news. Ubuyashiki Kagaya seemed to see through Roya's thoughts and said to Roya, "It was Rengoku Kyojuro who insisted that you go and guide everyone. He said that with your strength, you can definitely raise the level of the Pillars to a whole new level."
Roya said "Oh," and then exchanged a few more words with Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Kagaya Ubuyashiki then smiled and told Roya to leave.
However, after Roya left, the smile on Kagaya Ubuyashiki's face gradually disappeared.
He gazed at the bright sunshine outside and murmured, "Can a long-cherished wish of hundreds of years really be fulfilled in this generation?"
It's too fast, Kagaya Ubuyashiki always feels it's too fast.
Roya appeared like a shooting star, suddenly appearing before our eyes. He grew rapidly in an extremely terrifying way, and then killed three Upper Moons with extremely frightening slashes.
It can be said that the reason we have been able to get to this point is almost entirely due to Luo Ya's efforts.
The pillars are still children, they haven't grown up yet, are they really capable of dealing with all this?
Hehehe, I'm done writing.
