Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka exchanged a glance, both seeing a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.

The appearance of the Flame Pillar meant that they finally had a glimmer of hope.

"Ladies, please step back."

Kyojuro Rengoku said without turning his head, his voice loud and powerful.

"Leave this place to me!"

Doma narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing in his seven-colored pupils: "Although I still want to play around a bit, right now I have to prioritize completing Lord Muzan's orders."

The battle is about to break out.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka retreated to a safe distance, watching the showdown that would determine their fate with bated breath.

The night wind swirled up fallen leaves, and moonlight shone on Kyojuro Rengoku and Doma, adding a touch of grimness to this life-or-death battle.

Kyojuro Rengoku assumed an offensive stance, the flames on his Nichirin Blade burning ever brighter: "I won't let you hurt anyone!"

Doma unfurled his iron fan, and beautiful ice crystals began to condense around him: "Then let me see if the Flame Pillar's flames can melt my Paradise!"

Just as the two were about to clash, another commotion arose in the distance.

Several figures were rapidly approaching the battlefield; judging from their attire, they were all swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Corps.

The situation began to reverse. Douma clicked his tongue and reluctantly took a few steps back: "It seems the banquet tonight will have to end early."

He gave Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka a meaningful look. "But it's alright, we'll meet again, lovely ladies!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already turned into a wisp of icy mist and vanished into the night sky.

Kaguya Shinomiya's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to her knees.

Hayasaka Ai caught her in time, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Kyojuro Rengoku sheathed his sword, turned around, and asked with concern, "Are you two alright?"

Hayasaka Ai shook her head: "Thanks to your timely appearance, otherwise..."

"This is the duty of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

Rengoku laughed heartily, then his expression turned serious: "But why are you two here? And why have you provoked Upper Moon Two?"

Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka exchanged a glance.

They knew that to survive in this world before finding the main force, they had to gain the Demon Slayer Corps' trust.

Their experience tonight may well be the turning point for them to integrate into this world.

71. Kaguya Shinomiya's Uneasy Future: Kagaya Ubuyashiki's Foresight

Led by Kyojuro Rengoku, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka arrived at a house with wisteria flowers.

The bright moonlight shone on the purple flower clusters, giving the ancient house a silvery halo.

A gentle breeze swept by, and wisteria petals fell like rain, carpeting the ground with a pale purple hue.

"Please stay here for now, ladies. We can discuss anything after you wake up tomorrow."

The member of the Demon Slayer Corps bowed respectfully, her voice gentle and restrained, her eyes beneath the mask revealing concern.

You can tell from the voice that the other person is a woman.

Kaguya Shinomiya looked around. Although the mansion was simple, it showed signs of careful maintenance everywhere.

The wisteria trellis in the courtyard has clearly been growing for many years, with thick vines winding upwards to form a natural shade.

She noticed special paper talismans hanging under the eaves, swaying gently in the evening breeze.

"Okay, please."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded slightly, her aristocratic manners ingrained in her very being.

Hayasaka Ai stood beside her, warily surveying her surroundings, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the gun she carried.

The two followed Yin through the winding corridors, the wooden floorboards creaking softly under their feet.

The wind chimes under the eaves tinkled softly in the breeze, adding a touch of tranquility to this unfamiliar environment.

They were led to a Japanese-style room with delicate wisteria patterns painted on the paper door, echoing the flower trellis in the courtyard.

"Please rest well. If you need anything, you can pull this bell."

The hidden team member pointed to a thin rope by the wall, with a small copper bell tied to the end of the rope.

"The meal will be delivered in an hour."

As the paper door gently closed, Kaguya Shinomiya finally let down her guard and lost her composure.

Her legs went weak, and she almost knelt on the ground.

Hayasaka Ai quickly caught her: "Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, it's just..."

Kaguya Shinomiya's voice trembled slightly.

"We were almost going to become Upper Moon Two's meal, but why did we end up in front of Upper Moon Two?"

Hayasaka Ai pursed her lips, the nightmarish encounter at dusk replaying in her mind.

"I wonder how the others are doing, and where the main force is now."

Kaguya Shinomiya thought of the people who came into this world with her. If she could find the main group, then she would definitely not have to worry about her safety.

"At least for now, we are safe and have nothing to worry about."

Hayasaka Ai said softly, her fingers unconsciously rubbing her cuffs.

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded, and the two of them remained silent afterward.

About an hour later, the waitress brought dinner, which was simple yet exquisite: white rice, miso soup, grilled fish, and some seasonal vegetables.

The aroma of the food made them slightly lower their guard.

During the meal, the two remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

After the meal, Hayasaka Ai insisted on checking every corner of the room.

She pushed open each paper window to check the outside environment, inspected the closets and under the tatami mats, and even made an escape route.

Kaguya Shinomiya watched her busy figure, a wry smile appearing on her lips: "Hayasaka, aren't you being overly cautious?"

"In such an unfamiliar environment, it's always good to be careful."

Hayasaka Ai answered without turning her head, her fingers tracing the strange patterns engraved on the window frame, "These patterns... seem to be the same as the talismans by the door."

Kaguya Shinomiya approached and observed that the patterns were indeed different from the decorations she usually saw; they looked more like some kind of runes.

"Perhaps it's a protective measure? That member of the Hidden Team said that these wisteria flowers have a special effect in suppressing ghosts."

As the night deepened, moonlight streamed through the paper windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Despite being exhausted, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"Hayasaka."

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly asked softly, "Do you think we can get back alive?"

In the darkness, Hayasaka Ai was silent for a moment: "We definitely can. As long as we show our usefulness, we will be able to escape the fate of being a pawn."

"But what if something unexpected happens?"

This question plunged the room into an even deeper silence.

Hayasaka Ai turned to face Kaguya Shinomiya. Although she couldn't see Kaguya's expression, she knew that Kaguya must be filled with unease at that moment.

"No, we will definitely make it back alive."

Hayasaka Ai's voice was firm and clear: "No matter what happens, I will protect you, young lady."

Perhaps it was the sense of relief brought by those words, or perhaps it was the exhaustion from the previous fright and desperate escape, but Kaguya Shinomiya's eyelids gradually became heavy.

In the last moments before falling asleep, she seemed to hear the howl of some wild beast in the distance, but soon the fragrance of wisteria enveloped her and led her into a dreamless sleep.

Meanwhile, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"My lord, I have rescued the two girls as you ordered, and they have been settled in the Wisteria family's home."

Rengoku Kyojuro knelt on one knee, his voice loud and respectful.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki sat upright before the screen; though he had lost his sight, he seemed to see through everything.

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting dappled patterns of light on his pale face.

His wife, Tianyin, standing beside him, gently held his hand, offering silent support.

"They are special"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice was like a gentle stream, calm and profound.

“I saw the light of another world that was intertwined with the threads of their fate.”

Rengoku Kyojuro raised his head, his fiery eyebrows furrowing slightly: "Another world? What does my lord mean?"

"A world-shaking transformation is on the horizon, and those two girls are the key."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki turned to look out the window, as if gazing into the distant future. "The end of Muzan Kibutsuji is just the beginning; an even greater storm is brewing."

Kyojuro Rengoku could not fully understand his lord's words, but he never doubted his lord's foresight.

As the Flame Pillar, all he needs to do is steadfastly carry out his mission: "I understand. Do you need me to continue protecting them?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki gently shook his head: "Not for now. The Wisteria family is safe. Let them rest first. I will see them in person tomorrow."

"As ordered."

Rengoku Kyojuro bowed respectfully, then rose and left the room.

In the corridor, he encountered the Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was on patrol.

"I heard you brought two ordinary girls back?"

Shinazugawa raised an eyebrow and asked, his silver hair gleaming coldly in the moonlight, "Now is not the time to take in idlers."

Kyojuro Rengoku laughed heartily: "This is the lord's order, and besides, they're no ordinary people! To survive under those circumstances, they must have extraordinary potential!"

Shinazugawa snorted: "Suit yourself. As long as it causes the team 0.4 troubles, that's fine."

As Kyojuro Rengoku's footsteps faded into the distance, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, supported by his wife, finally arrived in the courtyard.

A night breeze wafted by, carrying the fragrance of wisteria blossoms from afar.

"Amane, Muzan is about to be destroyed."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice was filled with complex emotions.

Ubuyashiki Amane gazed tenderly at her husband: "That's wonderful. The fate of the Ubuyashiki family can finally end."

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki sighed, "The price is that the barriers of this world will be broken. I see countless armies waging wars all over the world, and our world will become an arena for other powerful beings to compete for power."

Tianyin's hand trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down: "Isn't there any other choice?"

"Fate has already given the answer."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked up at the starry sky.

"Those two girls are visitors from another world, and I saw a glimmer of hope in them."

72 Liangbing: I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it.

"You have such a twisted sense of humor!"

Liang Bing sat with her legs crossed, swirling a glass of scarlet red wine in her hand, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

Today, she was wearing a dark purple, tight-fitting leather outfit, which made the greatest known evil in the universe even more apparent.

"Someone needs to make contact with the Demon Slayer Corps. Right now, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka are eager to make a contribution, so I've entrusted this task to them!"

Genichi Hanyu lay lazily in his chair.

After a pause, Genichi Hanyu said with a hint of amusement, "To be honest, they should thank me!"

"Thank you? Thank you for throwing them in front of that pervert, Upper Moon Two, Doma?"

Liang Bing drank the liquid in her glass in one gulp, and the crystal glass turned to dust in her hand.

"You're shameless!"
