Monster Hunter Gathering

Tanjiro was a little confused, but was still dragged by Nie Chiwu to a table that was most close to the screen for viewing.

At this moment, the hunters, the Ubuyashiki family, the Nine Swordsmen, Tamayo and Yushiro, and some of Tanjiro's friends were all sitting here.

"I...Is it really okay for me to sit here?" Xuan Mi seemed a little reserved.

And Qiao Shitaro patted his back vigorously: "What does it matter! And we were able to kill Kokushibo! It was also thanks to the blood demon art you obtained by eating demons."

"Now Muzan has been killed!" Er Qiao said directly: "It's time for you to reconcile with your brother!"

"..." Feng Zhu tilted his head. Although he heard what Qiao Er said, he still didn't dare to look over.

Inosuke had already started eating heartily: "Ahahaha!!! This food is so delicious!!"

"Nezuko-chan~" Zenitsu also swayed his body: "There's a spot here! Come here quickly!!"

"Alright! Almost everyone is here."

Nie Chiwu also came to his seat after Tanjiro took his seat: "Although I really want to start the banquet now, but..."

"I have a surprise! It's for all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps! This surprise naturally includes the origins of us hunters."

Nie Chiwu raised his huge wooden wine glass and pointed it directly at the elephant-like Bobo roasting on the stove. "Of course, this Bobo is not a surprise, but those who are more knowledgeable should have some guesses."

"We hunters..."

Nie Chiwu finally revealed the origins of himself and his companions: "We are from another world!"

After Nie Chiwu said this fact himself, many people at the table breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this matter is quite strange, at least this... explains the magical abilities displayed by Nie Chiwu and others after their arrival.

Moreover, seeing so many Felyns busy around them, this race they had never seen before, had already made them suspicious.

"It's our hunters' celebration banquet! We've prepared a ton of food!" Nie Chiwu raised his glass high. "Hunters' cat meals and celebration banquets! There's never a shortage of food! And the surprise I've prepared... is perfect for watching while you eat!"

Nie Chiwu gulped down most of the wine, wiped his mouth, and pointed at the huge screen: "The surprise I'm talking about... is the story that would have happened in the original Infinite City if we hunters were not here."

Nie Chiwu said this as he glanced around at the people seated at the table. He was very satisfied with the hunters' success in protecting everyone. "So! Let's begin the celebration party!"

The next moment after Nie Chiwu said this, the Felyne cats turned on the huge projection screen and began playing the story about the Infinite Castle for all members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Originally, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps didn't know what was on the screen.

But soon, they understood.

Tanjiro learns to see through the world and together with Giyu kills Upper Moon Three Akaza.

Shinobu Kocho sacrificed herself to allow Inosuke and Kanao to kill the second Upper Moon, Douma.

Zenitsu killed Upper Moon Roku Giongake for the former Sound Pillar.

Tokito Muichiro and Fushigawa Genya sacrificed themselves, and Hirumi Gyomei and Fushigawa Saneya killed one of the Upper Moons.

Tamayo poisoned Muzan but was absorbed by Muzan. Yushiro forcibly controlled the Upper Four Narutos to throw Muzan to the ground.

In the final battle against Muzan, a large number of Demon Slayer Corps members died, including the Rock Pillar, the Love Pillar, and the Snake Pillar, while Giyuu, the Wind Pillar, and Tanjiro lost their hands.

In the end, Muzan died, and Tanjiro turned into a demon and overcame the sunlight in a very short time. In the most desperate situation, Nezuko and Kanao, together with the effect of the potion, awakened Tanjiro and turned him back into a human.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps also saw the memories of those demons, as well as Yoriichi in Kokushibo's memory and Yoriichi's own story.

The entire banquet hall was silent because of these stories.

but……

Nie Chiwu's voice rang out, full of joy: "Don't be sad here! Take a good look at the people around you who are still intact!"

"Even without us! You can still defeat Muzan! Don't underestimate yourselves! Hunters don't intend to take credit for others' achievements!"

Nie Chiwu raised his wine glass and said loudly: "We just came here for a good hunt!!"

"This is a celebration party! There will be no more evil spirits on the nights to come!"

"Let's eat! Do you really intend to leave behind the meal that our respected cat lady worked so hard to prepare?!"

"cheers!!!!"

Nie Chiwu's words made the originally silent banquet lively again.

Everyone was immersed in the cat lady's superb cooking skills, and the entire Demon Slayer Corps also shared the roasted full-bodied squid.

In the middle of the banquet, Nie Chiwu and Ubuyashiki also left the table for a while...

The two stood on a high vantage point, looking down at the bustling crowd below. Ubuyashiki spoke calmly, "Grandmaster, what you told me before, about you capturing the last fragment of Muzan..."

"Thank you for telling me this."

Chapter 64: Invitation to Tanjiro

"We should thank Kazuma. He took the biggest head in Infinite City this time."

Nie Chiwu rested his hands on the railing. "Actually, this should be considered my mistake. Such an important matter to you almost failed completely because of a small oversight. If it weren't for Kazuma, all our efforts last night would have been meaningless."

"I won't make the same mistake again." Nie Chiwu laughed and put his hands on his waist. "I am a big leader after all. In the future, there may be more things like this waiting for me! I can't make the same mistake again!"

"Captain, even though you say that... As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, I can only express my gratitude for your arrival."

Ubuyashiki bowed slightly to Nie Chiwu and asked, "Regarding Muzan, are you planning to take him to another world, Grand Commander?"

"About this."

Nie Chiwu spread his hands and said, "I've already discussed this with Granny Cat. We hunters will strip monsters of their materials to craft different equipment so we can fight more monsters. But in the Infinite Castle... after being killed, those Upper Ranks will simply turn to ash and disappear. To be honest, apart from Kazuma, we didn't get much materials at all."

Nie Chiwu's face lit up with a bright smile. "So that's what Granny Cat said! Muzan can provide us with a lot of material about [ghosts]! We will take responsibility and bring him to our gathering and lock him up!"

"Don't worry! The Felycats are watching over us!" Nie Chiwu gave a thumbs up: "The Felycats can do anything!"

"Well... in that case, I feel relieved." Ubuyashiki nodded.

Nie Chiwu scratched his chin. "Don't you doubt me? Like I'm a bad guy planning to use Muzan?"

"If that's really the case, then the hunters would have been able to defeat Muzan just by relying on those magical Felyne." Ubuyashiki smiled gently. "If these magical powers are just to deceive us... then it's an exaggeration."

Ubuyashiki still remembers the scene where the colorful Felynx smashed Muzan's body with just one claw and pulled Nie Chiwu out of Muzan's body.

"Although it's a bit inappropriate to say this..."

Ubuyashiki said: "But Muzan owes too many people and cannot make up for it, so..."

"Please make good use of his material." Ubuyashiki smiled. "As for the fact that Muzan is still alive... don't tell these children of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"They still have a long life ahead of them. They shouldn't...it's not worth worrying about someone like Muzan."

"Dark! Your tone!" Nie Chiwu's eyes widened. "As expected, characters like you always end up being treacherous! But..."

Nie Chiwu gave a brilliant thumbs-up. "Don't worry! We will use Muzan's materials to craft equipment!!! We will not miss any of his usefulness!!"

Nie Chiwu and Ubuyashiki shook hands and exchanged opinions, and then the two returned to the banquet.

What happened next were some minor incidents at the banquet.

For example, Qiao Ichi squatted behind Beimingyu and made funny sounds with the same voice as Beimingyu.

The two brothers, the Busei-kun, were silent but had already reconciled and were having dinner together.

Another example is Naofumi Iwatani, who started a drinking contest but couldn't get drunk no matter what, and the seventeenth Demon Slayer who was knocked down by him. Now it's the eighteenth one, but Naofumi Iwatani's expression hasn't even changed...

There were also Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu who were competing with Nie Chiwu in terms of food intake. Nie Chiwu even gave the three opponents a plate of barbecue, but he still won thanks to the hunter's terrifying appetite.

The banquet lasted for a long time.

The Demon Slayer Corps will probably be disbanded after tonight, and everyone knows this.

So they celebrated without regrets until they were so tired that they fell asleep.

After that, it would take a long time for the Demon Slayer Corps to disband. Nie Chiwu and others were not in a hurry to leave, and accepted Ubuyashiki's invitation to stay in the Demon Slayer Corps for a few days.

During these few days, Nie Chiwu also consulted the cat lady, and then he came to the Butterfly House where Tanjiro was temporarily checking his body and living. Tamayo also happened to be staying here temporarily.

And Nie Chiwu just happened to have something to ask her and Yu Shilang.

After Nie Chiwu explained his purpose, a room was quickly cleared out in the Butterfly House and given to a few people to discuss... and there were unexpectedly many people participating in the negotiations.

Tanjiro, Kanao, Nezuko, Shinobu Kocho, Tamayo, and Yushiro.

"Captain, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Tanjiro knelt upright beside the table, looking at Nie Chiwu with some confusion.

Nie Chiwu took out a yellowed letter from his pocket and placed it in the middle of the table in front of them. "I'm here to discuss matters concerning Miss Tamayo and Yushiro, and to invite you."

"As you know, Tamayo and Yushiro are the only remaining demons after Muzan, so their affairs also need careful consideration." Nie Chiwu said, "Originally, Tamayo would die with Muzan to atone for her sins, but now she survived, so Ubuyashiki and I have discussed her final treatment."

"I've seen Muzan die, so I don't have any regrets. I'll end my life and go to hell to atone for my sins." Tamayo said calmly, "I know I've committed unforgivable sins, and I can accept my fate. But Yushiro, this kid, he hasn't hurt anyone, so..."

As Tamayo said this, she seemed to be ready to end her life in the sun.

"! That's not what I meant! Stop!" Nie Chiwu anxiously held Tamayo down, then said, "Ubuyashiki and I don't mean that! What we mean is! We want you to be under our supervision!"

"Eh?"

Tamayo and the other participants were stunned.

Nie Chiwu quickly explained the rest of the story: "Although everyone understands that you are not bad people, you are still ghosts after all... So after discussing it, we decided!"

Nie Chiwu gently pushed the letter on the desk toward Tanjiro. "We've decided! We're recruiting a new hunter to take on the responsibility of supervising you!"

"Tanjiro, as the Grand Leader of the Monster Hunter Gathering, I formally invite you to become one of us."

Nie Chiwu straightened his expression and said, "Your conduct, character, and convictions have all been witnessed by the four of us hunters."

"This invitation is also our unanimous decision! Of course... if you want to live a peaceful life, we won't force you to make your decision. After all, you worked so hard to turn Nezuko back into a human."

"But I think... with your character and conviction, becoming a hunter can save more people!"

Nie Chiwu pushed the invitation letter in front of Tanjiro, looked into Tanjiro's eyes with his bright eyes and invited him directly.

"So Tanjiro."

"Become a Hunter!"

Chapter 65: The End of Infinite City

Tanjiro didn't expect that the key to the whole thing suddenly fell on him.

After Nie Chiwu formally invited Tanjiro, everyone present also turned their attention to Tanjiro.

"I'm sorry, Grand Captain." Tanjiro lowered his head: "I haven't thought about this matter yet."

"It's okay, you can give me your answer later."

Nie Chiwu glanced at Nezuko and Kanao beside Tanjiro, and smiled at him: "How about this, you, your sister, Kanao... well, plus Yushiro, you young people go to the next room to discuss it."

"I'll talk to Shinobu Kocho and Miss Tamayo alone. How about we discuss this matter again in an hour?" Nie Chiwu smiled at Tanjiro. "As expected, you should consult with those close to you on this matter. You have the right to decide your own life."

"Thank you, Captain." Tanjiro bowed to Nie Chiwu gratefully, and then took Nezuko and Kanao to go to other places in Butterfly House to discuss this matter.

Although Yushiro didn't want to leave Tamayo, he still went to Tanjiro at Tamayo's request.

"Mr. Grand Commander, do you have anything to say to us alone?" Shinobu Kocho guessed as she looked at Nie Chiwu's expression.

"Not really. After all, I've already told everyone else, and Ubuyashiki has also had a thorough discussion about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"The Demon Slayer Corps will be disbanded, but considering Tamayo and Yushiro, as well as some other demons who are not under Muzan's control, such as the man Tanjiro saved in Asakusa, will the Demon Slayer Corps still retain some functions for the time being?"

Nie Chiwu said, "Inviting Tanjiro to become a Hunter is one thing, but I also want to ask you... to support Tanjiro as a friend if he becomes a Hunter."

"After all, there are still many days to come. Whether it's the ghosts like Tamayo or the future arrangements for team members like Chou Ya of Chou Shinobu, there are many futures that need to be considered."

"I have great faith in Tanjiro's character. Although we hunters don't have any rules, we still set some for ourselves." Nie Chiwu briefly explained this and looked at the two intellectuals in front of him. "This is the best arrangement before we leave."

"I understand." Tamayo didn't refuse: "Just consider it my atonement. I will try my best to use the rest to help others."

"After the Demon Slayer Corps disbands, what about the future of Chouya..." Shinobu Kocho laughed when she said this: "Until a few days ago, I had never thought about the future."

"Hey! Now you can think about it!" Nie Chiwu raised a finger: "I have an idea! Why not change it to a school? After all, there are a lot of children in Butterfly House!"

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "I will seriously consider the future of the Butterfly House. I also welcome the Grand Captain to visit the Butterfly House. Naho-chan, Qing-chan, and Cheng-chan, after hearing about it, they also want to meet the Grand Captain."

"Naho-chan, Qing-chan, and Cheng-chan... Oh! I remember! The three cute little eyes in Butterfly House." Nie Chiwu started chatting with Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho with great interest.

On Tanjiro's side, he also seriously discussed with Nezuko and Kanao about becoming a hunter.

Although Tanjiro was also curious about why he brought Kanao to discuss...

Yushiro was impatient and didn't participate in the discussion. He just looked at Tanjiro who had already made a decision and said, "Have you really thought it through? If you do this, you will have a lot of trouble in the future. I don't want your affairs to trouble Miss Tamayo too much! If you want to ask Miss Tamayo for help, you have to ask me first."
