Zongman, starting from picking up Yuyuko

"Hayami-san, let's finish this quickly. It's time to go."

"In that case, I'll go a little faster."

Hayami Yu stroked the girl's pretty cheek, then gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the accelerator, and accelerated on the only asphalt lane.

061 Jealous Kanae

After the battle last night, Hayami Yu handed the Nichirin Sword to the previous swordsmith, asking him to complete the final fine grinding of the blade.

He left the swordsmith village the next day after the sharpening was completed. Therefore, Hayami Yu became the last swordsman to leave the swordsmith village.

……

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

At this time, Butterfly Kanae was wandering around the door of the Butterfly House. Although she did not show that she was waiting for someone outside, her face still had the same gentle and approachable smile as before.

But the way she kept pacing back and forth made it clear that she seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Lady Kanae, your injuries haven't fully recovered yet, so it's better not to move around. But then again, who are you waiting for, Lady Kanae?"

Kanzaki Aoi happened to pass by and saw her pacing back and forth, so she asked curiously.

Kanae looked back at her and immediately spoke softly and gently.

"I just want to rest here. Xiao Kui, don't worry about me. After all, Shinobu has not let me out, so I want to walk around and move around."

"I see. I understand. Lady Kanae, please take some time to rest."

After saying that, Kanzaki Aoi left and went to prepare lunch for everyone. Kanae looked at the path leading to the Butterfly House and couldn't help but worry. Could it be that he wouldn't come?

Tanjiro and Mitsuri Kanroji left the Swordsmith Village before him, and because of this, she learned about what happened in the Swordsmith Village and how Hayami Yu killed the two Upper Moons single-handedly.

But these are not the point. The point is what happened between him and his sister. She asked Shinobu Kocho last time, but Shinobu Kocho did not tell her.

"Huh? Here we come!"

As she was thinking this, Hayami Yu's figure finally appeared not far away. Kanae quickly came to sit under the eaves, and then pretended to rest there as if nothing had happened. While wiping her Nichirin sword, she observed Hayami Yu's position.

"Why is Kanae sitting here? How is her injury?"

When Hayami Yu arrived at the Butterfly House, he saw Kanae and asked her with concern. Kanae looked up and immediately stood up and replied with a smile.

"Welcome back, Mr. Hayami. Although I can't set out on a mission yet, my body has almost recovered. Thanks to Mr. Hayami for sending me back in time, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"You should thank your sister, Shinobu Kocho. After all, it was her medical skills that saved you, not me. By the way, where is Miss Kocho?"

Hayami Yu immediately asked, and on the way, Crow sent him a letter saying that Ubuyashiki Kōya wanted to discuss some things about Muzan with him.

In fact, Hayami Yuya wanted to discuss this matter with him, so he came to Butterfly House. After all, he needed to pass through the hidden part of Butterfly House to go to the residence of Ubuyashiki Kazuya.

"Miss Butterfly? Excuse me, Mr. Hayami, I am Miss Butterfly. My full name is Kanae Kocho, which is also Miss Butterfly~"

Looking at Hayami Yu, Kanae suddenly said this. Although she had a smile on her face, it was obvious from the slightly wrinkled veins on her forehead that she was a little angry.

Hayami Yu was stunned, not really understanding why she suddenly got angry, but as smart as he was, he instantly noticed the jealousy in Kanae's words.

As for why she was jealous of me finding her sister, that needed to be investigated, so Hayami Yu asked immediately.

"That's true, but I'm looking for your sister, Shinobu Kocho. So she's not here?"

However, just after she finished saying this, the veins on Kanae's forehead became more obvious. She tried her best to keep a kind smile, then looked at Hayami Yu and said

"Mr. Hayami, if you need any help, I can do it. After all, I am also a pillar and the manager of Butterfly House. There is no need to look for my sister."

"Also, Mr. Hayami is so obsessed with my sister. Could it be that he has some unspeakable secret or relationship with her?"

At this point, Kanae also cast a curious look, obviously hinting at what happened that day. Hayami Yu heard it and vaguely guessed it, so she smiled slightly and said it.

"Strictly speaking, it is indeed a secret that cannot be revealed, but please forgive me, Kanae. I cannot tell you what happened between her and me."

She looked like she was not afraid of getting into trouble. Hayami Yu's words of adding fuel to the fire made Kanae very angry. Didn't you two have an agreement not to tell her sister?

"Wait a minute Mr. Hayami!"

When Hayami Yu wanted to leave, Kanae immediately spoke up and grabbed Hayami Yu's wrist. Usually, Kanae has an unusually good temper, and everyone says she is gentle.

But Kanae just felt that she couldn't tolerate this matter, because this feeling of being excluded might be fine for other people, but how could she tolerate it when her own sister took the lead in doing this?

"Is there anything wrong with Kanae?" Seeing that she took the bait, Hayami Yu immediately asked with a smile.

"Mr. Hayami, I saw everything that happened between you two, so can you tell me what the relationship between you and Shinobu is?"

Kanae couldn't help asking any longer, and Hayami Yu looked around and told her after making sure that no one was peeking.

"Actually, it's not a special relationship. It's just that your sister agreed to date me in order to repay me for saving you."

"Dating? To repay you for saving me?"

Kanae was stunned by this sentence. She widened her eyes slightly and was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand what her sister was doing at all, but she quickly came to her senses and said something to Hayami Yu with some dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Hayami, I was the one who was saved. If anyone wants to repay you, it should be me. If Mr. Hayami needs it, I can do it. No, I can do better than Shinobu!"

After saying that, Kanae grabbed Hayami Yu's hand. After a little hesitation, she blushed and mustered up the courage to dive into Hayami Yu's arms, then slowly raised her head and kissed Hayami Yu's lips.

But to be honest, she doesn't know what she is doing at the moment, let alone why she is doing it. She feels very confused now, and feels that she has been excluded by her sister and Hayami Yu, so she wants to fight for it.

And if we really want to thank Hayami Yu for saving her life, she should be the one to thank her, not her sister on her behalf. This is a matter of principle.

The kiss between the two did not last long. After her chaotic thoughts stopped, Kanae blushed and immersed herself in Hayami Yu's arms and said.

"Mr. Hayami, what do you think? Compared to Shinobu, am I doing better?"

After saying this, Kanae's face turned even redder, and she couldn't believe it anymore. She couldn't believe that she had just done such a thing on impulse.

But since this sister had agreed to date and even hug, if she just hugged her, she would be completely outshined by her sister, so she chose to be bolder and kiss her.

And, how should I put it, although she had never been in love, her rapid breathing and the violent beating of her heart seemed to explain her thoughts on the man in front of her at this moment.

(P.S. Good evening.)

062 Discussion on the plan for the final battle

"As expected of Kanae, you easily accomplished what my sister couldn't. Although I also wanted to catch up with Kanae, after all, we haven't seen each other for a few days, but Mr. Ubuyashiki wants to discuss important matters with me, and therefore, I can't stay any longer."

"Discussing things with the lord? I understand. I'll help Mr. Hayami contact the members of the Anbu."

Hearing the three words "Ubuyashiki", Kanae also understood the importance of the matter and did not dare to delay any longer. Although she had not received any notification, Hayami Yu had just killed two upper-rank evil spirits, and she was afraid that this matter might be related to Muzan Kibutsu.

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

Hayami Yoshio nodded and watched Kanae leave. Then he waited for the members of the Hidden Club to come and asked Kanae about the whereabouts of Shinobu Kocho.

This time, Kanae did not hide anything, and therefore learned that Shinobu Kocho was on a mission. Since the Flower Pillar was still recuperating, the Flame Pillar died, and the Sound Pillar retired, the areas that the other pillars needed to be responsible for increased.

"I understand. I'll leave then."

"Well, Mr. Hayami, be careful on your journey."

After saying that, Kanae watched Hayami Yu leave. Kanao Kurihana happened to come to the corridor at this time. After hearing the conversation between Kanae and Hayami Yu, she couldn't help but look over curiously.

She had only been back for a day or two, so she had not met Hayami Yu. She had only heard that he was powerful enough to hunt down an upper-rank demon alone.

But she didn't speak to say hello, she just thought to herself that Sister Kanae seemed to have a good relationship with this man.

……

……

Turning his attention back, under the guidance of the members of the Hidden Department, Hayami Yu quickly arrived at the residence of Ubuyashiki Kōya hidden deep in the mountains, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was not Ubuyashiki Kōya, but Rock Pillar Gyoumei Hiramashima.

"Mr. Hayami, I've heard about your story. Thank you for saving the swordsmiths of the Swordsmith Village. The swordsmiths of the Swordsmith Village are the foundation of the Demon Slayer Corps. It can be said that without the Swordsmith Village, there would be no Demon Slayer Corps. In short, thank you very much."

But even so, there were still three or four casualties, but this was already very good, and it could be said to be the least casualties. After all, they were facing upper-rank stars. Therefore, Gyomei of Beiming Island clasped his hands together, and his blank eyes silently shed tears for those casualties, and at the same time he secretly chanted sutras to help them be liberated.

"After all, I just happened to be there. If I don't do anything, then I'll be no different from a demon." Hayami Yu answered kindly.

"Mr. Hayami, Mr. Beimingyu, you are ready to come in."

Hayami Yu answered, and just as he finished speaking, Ubuyashiki Tenon walked out of the door and called out to the two people in the yard. Beimingjima Xingmei also explained to Hayami Yu at this time.

"Let's go, Mr. Hayami. This matter is related to Muzan Kibutsu and the subsequent policy of the Demon Slayer Corps, so the lord only called the two of us here."

After a little explanation, Hayami Yu also understood. It seemed that they were planning to have the final decisive battle.

"I see."

Hayami Yoshino nodded to show that he understood, and then entered the small room in the house with Beimeijima Gyomei. This was where Ubuyashiki Kōya rested every day.

"Mr. Hayami, Mr. Beimingyu, I called you here to discuss the matter concerning Muzan Kibutsu."

"Due to the incident at the Swordsmith Village, two upper-rank demons died. Given Muzan Kibutsu's personality, I'm afraid he will go into hiding and not reappear until the next hundred years."

"If this is true, then all our efforts over the past decade have been in vain."

Ubuyashiki Yoya didn't want this to happen, so he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"So I plan to release the news of the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and then use me as bait to lure Muzan Kibutsu over."

"It's a good thing for him to be cautious, but he must also be aware that the more the times change, the more dangerous he becomes. After all, cold weapons are developing very rapidly. Even he can't withstand the hail of bullets and bombs."

"That is to say, he will most likely choose to fight us to the death. After all, only when the Demon Slayer Corps is gone can he do various things with peace of mind."

Ubuyashiki Yoya said this, and after hearing it, Beiming Island Xingmei immediately gave him a warning.

"My lord, please think twice. You are the cornerstone of the Demon Slayer Corps and even more so the guiding light. Without you, we will also lose our way."

After he finished speaking, he shed two lines of tears, because he knew that once Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said it, the matter would be a done deal and it would be impossible to persuade him back.

"The cornerstone? Perhaps that's true, but I think the real cornerstone should be the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Everyone is working hard to kill all the evil spirits, so I also need to make a contribution. However, I'd like to hear Mr. Hayami's thoughts."

Ubuyashiki Kakuya looked at Hayami Yu curiously. In fact, Hayami Yu was also thinking about this matter. It would be better to say that his idea was exactly the same as Ubuyashiki Kakuya's. They both wanted to lure out Kibutsu Muzan through this method, so Hayami Yu immediately said.

"I agree with Mr. Ubuyashiki's proposal, and this is the best solution at the moment. However, Mr. Ubuyashiki, you don't need to be prepared to sacrifice yourself. Just live well. I will personally kill Muzan Kibutsu."

Although it was obvious from Hayami Yu's age that he was just an adult child, the three of them did not doubt what he said, because he was the one who brought miracles to the Demon Slayer Corps and it was really possible for him to do it.

Upon hearing this, Ubuyashiki Kazuya's heart and blood surged instantly. He quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and the discomfort in his body, and immediately said to Hayami Yu.

"If I can really survive, no matter what Mr. Hayami asks from now on, my Ubuyashiki clan will swear to fulfill it even at the cost of our lives!"

"As for requests, I haven't received any yet, but I think there will be some in the future. Mr. Ubuyashiki, let's consider this as a deal between us. I'll help you kill Muzan Kibutsu, and you'll provide me with the help I need in the future."

Hayami Yu suggested with a smile, and Ubuyashiki Kōya nodded to show that he understood.

"No problem, just do as Mr. Hayami says."

Afterwards, the four of them thoroughly discussed the content and implementation plan of the plan.

It was finally decided to let an ordinary team member kill the demons, and at the same time deliberately lure the other party into discovering the address of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. After all, Muzan Kibutsu is more cautious, and if he is released casually, he may not come.

Afterwards, use Ubuyashiki Kyouya's identity to lure Muzan Kibutsu to lead the attack. At that time, Hayami Yu and Haimei Shima Gyomei will ambush near the residence, while the other pillars will be at a farther distance, and then they will just wait for the opportunity to act. After all, too many people will arouse suspicion.

After this discussion, the plan was finalized. Originally, Beiming Island Xingmei suggested telling the other pillars about this matter, but was rejected by Hayami Yu.

"Mr. Beimingyu, not everyone agrees with our ideas, and the final battle is just around the corner. Instead of letting them think about the feasibility of this matter, why not just execute it according to this plan? After all, we are the main force. Although I don't mean to discredit the pillars, Muzan, as the Demon King, is definitely not someone they can defeat easily."

"I understand. Then do as Mr. Hayami says."

After hearing this, Beimingyu Xingming had no choice but to agree, because he had to admit that even he might not be able to defeat this ghost king who had lived for thousands of years.

063 Kiritani Suguha with green hair

After the plan discussion was over, Hayami Yuya left.

Since it would take some time to reveal the location, Hayami Yu temporarily returned to the vicinity of the Ashford campus and planned to go back in two days. However, as soon as he returned, he was bombarded with text messages from Asuna.

"Hayami-san, why do you keep disappearing?"

"Mr. Hayami, are you not at home today?"
