As soon as Kagaya spoke, Yayoi nodded up and down as if she were on sleeping pills, leaving Sabito dumbfounded.

No, this is the Pillar Meeting, the highest-level meeting of the Demon Slayer Corps. Is it really okay to slack off like this so openly?

Sabito, standing behind Yayoi, listened to the entire meeting with bated breath, afraid of missing something important.

But even as the meeting drew to a close, Sabito hadn't heard a single word about Yayoi.

No wonder this woman fell asleep as soon as she sat down; she must have known about the meeting beforehand.

Yayoi felt wronged.

I knew nothing about the meeting's content; all I knew was that even with two more new recruits, my own jurisdiction wouldn't be willing to do zero work for love.

How could that heartless guy Ubuyashiki possibly let me start my retirement life ahead of time?

Ultimately, Sabito and Giyu's territories were taken over by the Flame Pillar and the Stone Pillar, allowing these two dedicated veteran employees to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seriously, one person managing three districts, just hearing about that workload makes Yayoi feel exhausted.

It wasn't until the meeting ended that Sabito patted Yayoi on the shoulder and woke her up.

"It's over." Yayoi looked around. Makijuro, whom Yayoi had used as cover, had already left the moment the meeting ended.

Xingming was guarding Yiyong, instructing him on which areas in the jurisdiction he was assigned to pay close attention to.

Yi Yong listened attentively, and Xing Ming felt more and more that this junior was a promising talent.

With Yayoi as a role model, every Pillar-level swordsman who was promoted afterward seemed like a reliable colleague to Gyomei.

"I really envy you..."

Sabito sat down next to Yayoi, resting his chin on his hand, waiting for Giyuu and Gyomei to finish their conversation.

"Then you can be envious." Yayoi's reply was completely illogical, leaving Sabito feeling exhausted.

"Shouldn't you ask me what I envy about you?" Sabito tried to straighten out Yayoi's train of thought.

What a joke! Kuwashima Jigoro tried to change Yayoi's mind for fifteen years but failed. What merit does Sabito have?

"God has no obligation to ask what an idiot is thinking."

"Haha." Sabito laughed in exasperation at his own foolish idea. He had really made himself dizzy in the meeting, actually thinking about turning Yayoi back into a normal person.

"Sigh... I'll have to part ways with Giyu soon, and it's really hard to get used to it." Sabito looked at Giyu, who was still being kept after school by Daibei-sensei, and her words were full of sadness.

"Huh? You're going to die?" Yayoi looked at Sabito in surprise.

Sabito had no doubt that if Yayoi had a gong at this moment, she would have banged it so loudly it shook the heavens.

Can you tone down the excitement in your eyes?! Hey!

"Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not going to die anytime soon." Sabito rolled his eyes.

“That is…” Yayoi turned her gaze to Giyuu, but before she could finish speaking, Sabito interrupted her urgently.

"It's not like you're just being brave! Can't you wish us both a better future?!"

"Oh, I was really looking forward to the banquet. What a disappointment." Yayoi visibly wilted, leaving Sabito speechless for a while.

"Then what's the point of all this talk about being separated by life and death?"

Sabito closed his eyes and automatically translated Yayoi's words: "Now that we each have our own territories, we definitely can't see each other as often."

"Which jurisdiction are you two in?" Yayoi asked, yawning.

Sabito leaned back slightly, tore down a spare map from the wall, and spread it in front of Yayoi.

"This area and this area were originally the jurisdiction of Senior Purgatory and Senior Scream Island."

Yayoi glanced at it and pointed to a mountain on the map.

"Why don't you two build your base here, next to each other, or even just build one and live together? Wouldn't that solve the problem perfectly?"

The rabbit's eyes lit up. The problem that had been bothering it for so long could be solved so easily?

"Yayoi, are you a genius?"

"You just found out?"

Yayoi never knew what humility was.

After carefully considering Yayoi's suggestion for the location of the base, Sabito still hesitated: "But... wouldn't using only one base violate the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

“There are no such nonsense rules,” Yayoi pushed the map spread out in front of her towards Sabito, not wanting to look at all that dense stuff anymore. “If you really want to make sure no one can find fault with it, build it right next to the Giyu’s camp, and then open a separate little gate.”

"Good idea."

Sabito was completely convinced by Yayoi's suggestion, and contentedly put away the map and hung it back on the wall.

On the other side, Giyu, who had been kept in the hall, also ended his conversation with Gyomei and came back on his own.

"It's over, Giyuu?"

Yi Yong nodded, without saying anything more.

With an air of brotherhood that made them the best of friends, Qian Tu hooked his arm around Yi Yong's neck and discussed matters concerning the base with him.

I had planned to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, but before I knew it, Giyuu had agreed to the proposal, causing Sabito's carefully crafted speech to be shelved.

"No... why did you agree so readily?" Sabito asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Well... I'll refuse first, and then wait for you to beg me?" Giyuu said, following Sabito's words with obvious disdain.

Ultimately, it wasn't just Sabito who didn't want to be separated from Giyu.

"Hey~ that's not allowed, Giyuu." Sabito was afraid that Giyuu would learn from Yayoi, so he immediately dispelled Giyuu's dangerous idea from the root.

Yayoi, leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. These two fellow disciples really had a good relationship; no wonder they grew up wearing the same pair of pants.

"Alright, you two can keep being lovey-dovey, I'm heading back now." Yayoi said goodbye to the two of them and prepared to return to her base.

I'll be gone for two days now, so I need to go home and prepare food for my mom's next meal.

"Wait a minute."

"What are you doing now?" Yayoi stopped and looked at Sabito, her expression not pleasant. "If you can't give me something serious today, I'll beat you to death."

"Yes, a proper gift," Sakoto laughed. "I'll be passing through the accommodation area anyway, so I'll go back and get the gift I prepared for you. You can take it back with you."

"A gift?" Yayoi remembered the tsuba (handguard) she had taken from Sabito's room last night, and reached into her team uniform pocket. "Is this it?"

"Uh...yes." Sabito felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Yayoi's thanks followed immediately, leaving Sabito no time to think about what was wrong.

"Yayoi, let me and Giyu go to your base for a look."

Alright, are you going to wait for me here?

Since she felt obligated to accept his gift, and besides, Sabito's reason wasn't unreasonable, Yayoi didn't refuse again.

"Let's get this straight first, you can look at it, but once you're done, you're out of here. I won't let you two stay overnight." Yayoi made it clear from the start.

Qintu agreed readily, "No problem, we'll leave after we've finished watching."

Giyu, who was standing in the background, looked at Sabito with a question mark in his eyes that seemed to be right in Sabito's face.

No? Why are we going to Yayoi's place? You didn't tell me.

Sabito grinned, returning Giyuu's gaze with the same look: Didn't I just say that?

They arrived with one man and one crow.

There were only three of them, and a few crows, when they returned.

"By the way, Matsuko isn't coming back with me. That unlucky bastard did something wrong. What about you two? I don't often see your shovels going out with you two."

Halfway there, out of sheer boredom, Yayoi asked another question.

"Well... that's a long story." Sabito looked like he was about to launch into a long explanation.

Yayoi stopped and looked at Sabito with a sinister gaze: "Then let's get straight to the point."

“Oh.” Sabito shrugged, pointing to Giyu, “His Kasugai is an older one,” then pointed to himself, “My Kasugai is a younger one.”

"It's too much for the old man and the young child to stay with us all the time, so when we're not on a mission, we just let them play around here at headquarters."

"Oh, so you and this crybaby are quite kind-hearted." Yayoi replied casually, silently strategizing how she would treat the old crow and the juvenile crow if she were assigned to them.

perhaps……

As I get older, I need less sleep and have to get up early to work.

[Young and healthy, yet working late into the night.]

In short, anyone who falls into my hands will be sent to work as a laborer!

When Yayoi was criticizing Fujiwara, there was one thing she didn't exaggerate at all.

Kyobashi Ward is not close to the headquarters, but Yayoi's residence is not far from the headquarters. Going to a densely populated town in Kyobashi Ward to buy some things is almost the same as going to the headquarters.

So much so that when I first went to a nearby town, I made an agreement with the grocery store owner to bring him some food and drink every month by pulling a cart up the mountain.

The price is negotiable.

Since it's all money coming from Ubuyashiki's wallet, I don't feel bad about how much it is.

"arrive."

Yayoi pointed to a building with an astonishing area not far away and said to Sabito and Giyu, who were hesitant behind her.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

I thought this woman might want to make her base more luxurious to enjoy life, but I never expected this...

Even the main house in Ubuyashiki isn't as big as this one!

Sabito whispered to Giyu, "What if it just has a large footprint, but the buildings inside are just ordinary, standard structures?"

Giyuu looked at Sabito with utter disbelief: "Do you even believe what you're saying?"

"You two hurry up and finish watching so you can get out of here."

Yayoi, who had already unlocked and opened the gate, stood at the entrance and urged the two of them on.
