Did they really think that Muzan Kibutsuji would just turn them into demons and then walk away?

As his child read the news to him, Kagaya Ubuyashiki had a series of guesses in his mind, which he then rejected one by one.

He sighed, having lost his sight, and made a decision.

"Whatever Muzan Kibutsuji wants to do, the Demon Slayer Corps alone probably won't be enough to deal with so many demons. Let's gather the Pillars; it's time to talk to the Cabinet and the military."

……

While the Demon Slayer Corps was taking action, Xia Zhi was strolling around with Wuming.

Having obtained a Nascent Soul stage body, he used his understanding of Wuming to create a soulless clone from his own flesh and blood.

This clone looks exactly like the one he first met, just like the one without a name.

The nameless one, having taken over this clone, can be considered to have acquired a physical body.

Although it is temporary.

"Owner."

Looking down at his small body, Wuming revealed a mischievous look.

"So our master has this kind of hobby!"

Xia Zhi turned her face away expressionlessly.

"What are you talking about? It's just that this way it saves on materials."

Hobby?

What hobbies?

nonexistent!

Chapter 84 Tokyo

While Wuming and Xia Zhi were strolling around Tokyo, Kagaya Ubuyashiki contacted the top executives of Taisho University.

Ubuyashiki is a noble family, a noble family that has existed for generations, dating back over a thousand years.

Kibutsuji Muzan also comes from this family.

Although the Ubuyashiki family is cursed because of Muzan Kibutsuji, the family members are not only born weak but also suffer from serious illnesses, and their lifespans are getting shorter and shorter.

But this is a legitimate, thousand-year-old family. Just by looking at how they can support such a large Demon Slayer Corps, you can understand what a behemoth they are.

The Demon Slayer Corps consists of hundreds of warriors who do not engage in production but are dedicated to combat, and the personnel turnover is very frequent.

Not to mention that Kagaya Ubuyashiki has Chomai, Fujikasaneyama, and a village that specializes in forging swords under his command.

You can't do it without money, power, or influence.

In fact, even if Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't contact the Taisho administration, the cabinet would still have to reach out to him.

As cannibals appear more and more frequently, and even show a trend of moving from the shadows to the open, the one under the most pressure is not the Demon Slayer Corps, but the Taisho government.

When an attack occurs, the first reaction of ordinary people is to call the police.

The police were equipped with batons and Mauser pistols.

When facing cannibals, the Mauser pistol, also known as the "turtle box," is not effective at killing them; instead, it will only provoke the cannibals' ferocity.

Especially when faced with an entire village being transformed into cannibals.

A few small pistols are useless against hordes of ghosts!

At night, they brazenly broke into people's homes and devoured them without restraint.

The cries of the victims can carry a long way.

As a result, police officers have died in the line of duty in many places, leading to widespread chaos in local public order.

The Taisho era experienced significant political and economic turmoil due to the influence of cannibals.

The Taisho Empire, still recovering from the World War, was on the verge of collapse.

As an expert in dealing with cannibals, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was invited by the Cabinet to travel to Tokyo under the protection of the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, and the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, to discuss the matter.

……

With nothing else to do around the summer solstice, when the cannibals were about to spread like wildfire, I decided to spend these days touring Tokyo with Nameless.

After selling the two gold fans and jewelry he had acquired from Doma, he had a considerable amount of money.

The technology of the Taisho era was about half a century more advanced than that of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Mumei was amazed wherever she went, just like a little girl from the countryside.

Hawthorn berries, buy them!

Ramen, buy it!

Cake, buy it!

Wagashi (Japanese sweets), buy some!

Holding a bunch of delicious food, Wuming ate with gusto, his round and adorable little face beaming with obvious joy.

Judging by her appearance, no one would guess that she is already a forty-year-old spinster.

As the two were walking down the street, a car drove past them.

Xia Zhi sensed that three people in the car had auras far exceeding those of ordinary people, and another person was extremely weak, like a candle flame in the wind.

He looked curiously into the car and discovered that it contained the leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps: Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the Sound Hashira Uzui Tengen, the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, and the Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho.

"Why would the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps come to Tokyo? Is it because the cannibals have spread so widely that the Taisho administration is getting impatient?"

As the car drove towards the center of Tokyo, Xia Zhi, with a "what the heck" mentality, threw a mark at Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

You never know when you might need it.

……

When evening came, Wuming had finished walking around, and the shops and vendors along the street packed up and went home.

Recently, cannibalistic creatures have been spotted in Tokyo. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department explained that they are midnight killers, which has led to fewer people going out at night.

Inside the hotel, Wuming, dressed in a beautiful dress—a white princess dress—twirled in front of Xia Zhi, holding up her skirt.

"How about it?"

"very nice."

"hey-hey."

Wuming smiled and suddenly knelt down in front of Xia Zhi, revealing a pair of slender, white legs as smooth as jade.

She raised her head, her dark, pearly eyes sparkling with cunning.

Using the seductive techniques from "The Thousand Deceptive Rakshasa Technique," Wuming's small face revealed an astonishingly alluring charm, making people involuntarily want to pick up a mining pick.

"Master, would you like to eat first, take a bath first, or...eat...me first?"

But to Wuming's surprise, Xia Zhi actually refused her invitation.

He shook his head with a strange expression and spoke.

"You should focus on your cultivation and advance to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible to transform the illusory into the real."

"This body was created by me, using my own flesh and blood. It would be too strange to do it that way."

nameless:(?????)

……

Meanwhile, Emperor Yoshihito's palace was still brightly lit late into the night.

A lieutenant general from the military was giving a report while holding a series of telegrams.

"...Several prefectures, including Yamanashi, Fubuki, and Tayama, are under attack. Hundreds of undead cannibalistic demons are attacking the prefectures. These demons are as ferocious as tigers and as swift as the wind. Our soldiers fought desperately, suffering heavy casualties."

"...Those evil spirits cannot be shot or killed by swords. Even if they are blown to pieces by artillery fire, they can be resurrected after being pieced back together."

"...Our troops fought fiercely until dawn, and the evil spirits retreated. We deduced that these man-eating evil spirits were afraid of sunlight."

"...On the day the telegram was sent, my remaining troops set out, intending to use the might of the Great Sun to drive away the man-eating demons of Dafeng Village. Long live the Heavenly Emperor!"

Above the palace, Emperor Yoshihito, who already suffered from a brain disease, was having a splitting headache as he heard the situation was deteriorating.

He rubbed his temples, forced a smile, and asked Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who looked much sicker than him.

"Mr. Ubuyashiki, thank you for coming all the way to Tokyo. The situation is urgent, so I'll get straight to the point—since the Demon Slayer Corps has been fighting against man-eating demons for hundreds of years, is there any way to kill them?"

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Ubuyashiki nodded slightly in the direction of Emperor Yoshihito.

"While demons cannot be killed by ordinary swords, sunlight is their natural enemy. Demons exposed to the sun will turn to ashes."

"A sword called Nichirin Blade, forged from 'Scarlet Gorilla Sand Iron' and 'Scarlet Gorilla Ore' which absorb sunlight, can cut off the heads of demons and kill them."

"Wisteria flowers contain a potent poison that can subdue demons. Poison made from wisteria flowers can also kill demons."

Upon hearing that the demon had three weaknesses, Emperor Yoshihito and the others' expressions became much more pleasant.

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki then poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

He said with a serious look.

"Both the Scarlet Gorilla Sand Iron and the Scarlet Gorilla Ore are extremely precious ores. Currently, the Demon Slayer Corps has only found two mines that produce them. And the poison of the Wisteria Flower is even more difficult to extract."

"Demons surpass ordinary people in both strength and speed. Even with a Nichirin Blade, it is not an easy task to use it to cut off their heads."

"Powerful demons also possess a special ability called 'Blood Demon Art,' among which the Twelve String Moons and the Demon Ancestor Muzan Kibutsuji are particularly powerful. In the past hundred years, our Demon Slayer Corps has not achieved any victories against the Upper String Moons, which is truly shameful."

Chapter 85 Uninvited Guest

Although Kagaya Ubuyashiki meant well, isn't saying this a blatant disrespect for the soldiers of my Taisho Empire?

A general glanced at Kanroji Mitsuri and Kocho Shinobu beside Ubuyashiki Kagaya and sneered.

"Ubuyashiki-san, no matter how powerful those man-eating demons are, even if you blast them into pieces with cannons, can they be resurrected?"

"I've heard about the Demon Slayer Corps, but can those two delicate girls beside you really slay man-eating demons?"

Despite the mockery, Kagaya Ubuyashiki remained calm and introduced the situation to everyone.

"This is one of the nine Pillars of my Demon Slayer Corps, the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho. Shinobu is a skilled physician and poison master, adept at concocting wisteria flower poison. She uses poison to kill demons. Although she is relatively weak among the Pillars, she is still stronger than a well-trained ordinary soldier."

"This one is also one of the Nine Pillars, the Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri, who, in the words of China, is a woman who is just as capable as any man."

Kanroji Mitsuri smiled shyly at the group, including Emperor Yoshihito.

Although they knew it was wrong to judge a book by its cover, this cute and pretty girl, who made them feel extremely ashamed and was wearing a revealing uniform, looked more like a courtesan than a soldier.

"Her muscle density is eight times that of an average person, and she can easily cut through a rock as tall as a person with a knife."

After introducing the other two, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also brought out Tengen Uzui, whose body was covered in smooth, muscular muscles and looked like he could fight.

"This is the Sound Hashira, Usui Tengen, who was born into a ninja family."

"I have heard that one of Yu Sui left the family in this generation."

The lieutenant general who had given the report earlier nodded slightly and said to Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

"This is a very important matter. Could you please ask Mr. Ubuyashiki to have the three Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps demonstrate their respective strengths? This would allow us to compare them and measure just how powerful the man-eating demons really are."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"it is good."

……

Several hours later, Kagaya Ubuyashiki left the Imperial Palace with three Pillars.

After several hours of demonstrations and discussions, although a few generals were still dissatisfied, the general strategy was to have the army carry heavy weapons to encircle and suppress the demons, and then cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps members to cut off the heads of the man-eating demons.

Back at the Ubuyashiki family's residence in Tokyo, Usui Tengen smiled and asked Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

"My lord, you must have done this on purpose, right? Only by demonstrating our strength can we have the right to engage in equal dialogue. After all, the other party represents this country. Unless cannibalistic monsters rush in front of them, many important figures value their own face more than the lives of others."

"Yes. Compared to ordinary people, the Demon Slayer Corps understands demons better and knows their weaknesses more clearly. Without Breathing Techniques, even people with Nichirin Blades cannot cut off a demon's head. Even children who have trained in Breathing Techniques have a high casualty rate when they encounter demons."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded slightly and sighed.
