…

at the same time.

Mountains are connected by a network of mountains, with undulating mountains and light clouds and mist lingering in the mountains.

The early morning sun shines on the mountain peaks, illuminating a mansion located among several mountains.

It is full of greenery, with wisteria patterns painted on the white walls, and wisterias are also planted around the walls.

"Nitsuro should have arrived." A gentle and low male voice slowly came from the roof inside the courtyard: "Everyone has been working hard."

When he heard the sound and looked around, he saw that the person speaking had black hair, with light purple veins spreading down his forehead.

The white eyelashes trembled slightly in the sun. In front of the man sat a woman with white hair.

She didn't speak, she just sat quietly next to the man with the purple scar on his forehead and poured him a cup of tea.

"Gulu——"

White steam emerged from the cup, brewing fresh tea leaves.

"The future of the Demon Slayer Corps... can already be seen."

…

…

In the doctor's office.

The warm sunshine peeked in from the window and fell on several people.

"You sound very energetic! Takehara boy!"

The visitor known as Lord Purgatory did not wear a team uniform. He casually wore a white sleeveless shirt with a dark undershirt underneath, paired with a black skirt, which made him look very upright.

He walked to Takehara's bed and casually put the scroll aside. After observing Takehara's condition, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.

"I'm recovering very well! I'm fine!"

For him, caring for his teammates is the most important thing now.

Shang Quannai stared intently at the visitor's conspicuous reddish-yellow hair and his bright, big eyes.

——The Flame Pillar of this generation?

"Master Purgatory..." Takehara pursed his lips and looked at Yanzhu's warm smile. He couldn't help but moisten the corners of his eyes and wiped them with his wrist.

"I've said it all! Just call me Nijuro!" Purgatory Nijuro frowned, and said to Takehara while untying the box wrapped in a cloth belt with both hands.

"That's not okay...it's too rude!"

"You are a pillar!"

Takehara wiped the corners of his eyes and sniffed. He watched Purgatory Jinjuro untie the cloth belt and reveal the wooden box inside.

"No, I'm just like you!"

Purgatory Jinjuro opened the wooden box and placed it on the untied scarf. His bright eyes looked directly at Takehara: "They are all just humans who fight ghosts to protect others!"

"Here! Lunchbox!"

Purgatory Jinjuro pushed the lunch box filled with wooden boxes in front of Takehara.

At the same time, his fingers moved slightly and he took something from the bottom of the lunch box.

"If you treat your stomach badly, the joy of life will be halved!"

The most powerful "Pillar" of the Demon Slayer Squad, Jinjuro Purgatory said to Takehara with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, it is."

Seeing Takehara taking the lunch with trembling arms, Purgatory Jinjuro patted Takehara on the shoulder with satisfaction.

He turned around with a smile and looked at Shang Quannai who was standing at the door. After looking at Shang Quannai with squinted eyes for a while, Purgatory Jinjuro said:

"Your Excellency! You have been looking at me since just now. Is there something wrong?"

Purgatory Jinjuro paused, touched his yellow hair with red ends, and added:

"Although people often stare at me! But I am the first to be as straightforward as you!"

Seeing that Shang Quannai, who was squinting, did not answer him, Renshouro took a slight breath:

"Just like a pervert!"

Creak...

"…What did you say?"

A few blue veins popped out on Shang Quannai's forehead. He suppressed his voice and slowly squeezed out a few syllables. The corners of his eyes twitched unnaturally.

Just now, Shang Quanna has been observing Nishourou's muscle condition through the transparent world.

And the result is—absolutely peak human muscles!

The perfect body that has been tempered between life and death and reached its peak!

"Eh——!!" Yin, who was hugging two crows and caressing them comfortably, suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at the seemingly unpleasant atmosphere.

The doctor raised his head and looked at Shang Quannai blankly.

——Looking carefully, I realized that this person is wearing...

——Not at all like the common style now!

The doctor's pupils tightened when he looked at Shang Quanna who was looking at each other with Injuruji Injuro!

At this time, Takehara, who was lying on the bed behind Jinjuro in Purgatory, gently tugged on Jinjuro's sleeves and said with worry on his face:

"Master Purgatory! It was the one who saved me! Please..."

Purgatory Jinjuro glanced at Takehara behind him. After hearing his words clearly, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Shang Quanna with a big smile:

"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry!"

"I am a person who speaks more straightforwardly. I hope you don't mind it!"

As he spoke, Purgatory Jinjuro's expression suddenly became serious. He bowed deeply towards Shang Quanna and shouted loudly:

"Your Excellency, I am extremely grateful to Takehara boy for your rescue!"

"Master Purgatory... If you want to thank me, I can come...!" Takehara was stunned for a moment, his face was full of panic, and he stretched out his hand to sit up and help Purgatory Jinjuro, who was bent down.

"It's okay! Takehara boy!"

"I was the one who brought you into the Demon Slayer Squad. If you die, then I will be the most guilty person!"

Purgatory Jinjuro smiled and put Takehara's hand back, then straightened up and looked at Shang Quanna and smiled.

Shang Quanna looked at Purgatory Jinjuro's apologetic smile and nodded to him gently.

"That's right!" Purgatory Jinjuro suddenly slapped his forehead, a rare trace of regret appeared on his face, and he turned around.

He picked up the scroll he had brought with him from the table beside him, then unfolded the scroll and said to the doctor who was in a daze:

"Doctor, I have another purpose for coming here."

"Ah, ah? What?" The doctor, who was in a daze, was called back to his senses by Purgatory Jinjuro. He turned his head in doubt and looked at Ingami Jinjuro with piercing eyes.

"My lord asked me to come to Mount Sagi to find someone."

"If you meet someone who claims to be Shangquan, please help me pay more attention, thank you!"

Purgatory Jinjuro nodded towards the panic-stricken doctor.

The doctor was kneeling on the ground. After hearing what Purgatory Jinjuro said clearly, his trembling hand pointed at Shang Quannai standing in front of him:

"Ah...this...this..."

"…My last name is Shangquan."

Shang Quannai interrupted the doctor's trembling voice. He took a step forward and glanced down at the white knife handle on Purgatory Jinjuro's waist: "What's the matter?"

"Oh!!" Purgatory Jinjuro looked at Shang Quannai in surprise. He held the handle of the knife at his waist with his hand and walked to Shang Quannai happily:

"I'm sorry! What's your name?"

"No." Shang Quannai replied calmly.

"Great!" Purgatory Jinjuro shouted excitedly.
