Chapter 132 Ubuyashiki Kyouya pretends not to be sad

Facing the already dead Tokito Muichiro and Uzui Tengen, Ubuyashiki Kōya's expression did not change at all.

There was no sadness or frustration on his face, and the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps gave his orders quickly and calmly.

"Inform the logistics team not to move this severely injured 'Pillar' yet. Immediately build a temporary platform here to treat the wounded."

"Hurry up and ask the Butterfly Shinobu who is still setting up the Butterfly House to come over and help with the treatment."

"Another 'Pillar' who has died in battle, find a way to bury him."

"Inform all Pillars that the joint Pillar meeting originally scheduled for today at noon has been postponed. The time for the meeting will be announced later."

After saying this, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps coughed and stopped staying at the door. Instead, he returned to his residence under the protection of Gyoumei Hirame.

Only a few faceless support workers were left, setting up a tent over the already dead Tokito Muichiro, trying to salvage a body while also isolating the 'pillars' who came out one after another to see what had happened.

Of course, the leader whispered a word of advice as he passed by Fang Yi.

"Let's find a chance to continue discussing our matter later. We haven't finished interpreting the intelligence yet."

"It won't waste too much time."

"There's one more thing I need your help with."

Fang Yi nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.
-
A few minutes later, at Ubuyashiki Yoya's residence.

Fang Yi used the excuse of going back to his own residence to catch up on some sleep, and then he went to Ubuyashiki Kazuya's residence again without being seen.

But this time, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps was not accompanied by the Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Sadomasam.

Such a scene gave Fang Yi a premonition that the other party might tell him some proposals that were inconvenient for other "pillars" to know, or that other "pillars" would find it difficult to agree to.

Sure enough, after he exchanged a lot of information about Liao Lin with the other party and asked him to take away the documents recording the information, Ubuyashiki Yoya spoke.

As soon as the leader opened his mouth, Fang Yi knew what he wanted to do.

"The Pillar Joint Meeting will continue before nightfall. Now is not the time to grieve. Besides discussing some strategic policies, there is one thing I would like you to do."

"I'm afraid you're the only one who can do this."

"I hope that in discussing the treatment of a swordsman who walks with demons, you will be the first to propose a pardon."

"At the same time, we must secure the support of at least two other 'Pillars' besides you and Tomioka Giyuu for this proposal."

After saying this, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps showed a rare look of fatigue and helplessness in his eyes, and began to explain to Fang Yi why he did this.

"I'm sorry to ask you to do this, but given my current status, it's really hard for me to convince everyone."

"During this period, the Demon Slayer Corps has lost three 'pillars', one 'pillar' is missing, and one 'pillar' has lost its combat effectiveness."

"It's extremely difficult for me to persuade everyone to let go of their hatred for ghosts in such a short period of time on my own."

"I don't think anyone would object to Nakamori Yuto being appointed as a 'Pillar' given his military achievements. At the same time, Rengoku Chijuro can also temporarily replace the Flame Pillar to attend the meeting. It will be easy for you to win these two votes."

Fang Yi naturally knew that the other party most likely wanted to pardon Tanjiro Kamado and his sister Nezuko Kamado. At the original joint meeting of the "Pillars", only Giyu Tomioka and his trainee Sakonji Rintaki were willing to guarantee it.

The two even promised that if Nezuko Kamado hurt or ate anyone, they would commit suicide by seppuku.

The other "pillars" all opposed the idea, but the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps tried his best to persuade them, and even used his unattainable prestige among the members of the Demon Slayer Corps to temporarily convince everyone, and finally got a chance to test Nezuko Kamado.

The Wind Pillar, Fuzukawa Mitsuya, used the special physique of his blood that was attractive to demons to test Nezuko Kamado to see if this demon who had never eaten humans would attack humans.

But in this situation, the first step won’t work.
-
At the time of the meeting in the original novel, none of the Pillars were dead, and some, under persuasion, were still willing to trust Tanjiro Kamado. But now, three of their companions have died, one is missing, and one is incapacitated. And all of these Pillars were caused by the recent additions to the Demon Slayer Corps.

Without the leader's explanation, Fang Yi could already sense the pillars' distrust of the new members.

Of course, someone like me who has the talent of [Supernormal Gravity], the achievement [Our Journey Has Not Ended Yet], and the relic [Akaza's Thank You Gift] which includes [Komainu's Respect] which has the 'Friendliness Bonus for Order-Type Characters', is a surprise among surprises.

These people's trust in new members and even strangers has basically reached the lowest point. If there are new reincarnations joining the Demon Slayer Corps, it would be almost impossible for them to gain the favor of these "pillars".

The reason why the Pillars don't trust the new members or even Tanjiro Kamado is very simple.

People who did not travel with demons, who were previously normal and working hard to slay demons, were able to commit acts of betrayal, causing unprecedented losses to the Demon Slayer Corps and killing familiar companions.

What's more, what about a swordsman who travels with ghosts and is even more suspicious?

Now these people's strategies will only become more conservative. They will try their best to eliminate all uncontrollable unknown factors to protect their companions.

It is really arrogant to expect that a ghost can live in harmony with humans by using simple words and making these people agree and understand in a short period of time.

Fang Yi understood even more clearly that there were some things that Ubuyashiki Kazuya was not convenient to say.

As a leader, his identity can bring him many conveniences, but this identity is also a constraint.

He is not suitable to persuade these 'pillars'.

In this matter, the most suitable role for Ubuyashiki Yoya is that of a referee, who should seek the opinions of these 'pillars' and make the final decision.

At least it cannot be that Giyu Tomioka and the former Water Pillar, Sakonji Rintaki, are the only ones providing guarantees, while Giyu Tomioka, who is not very good at speaking, has to express his views at the same time.

It would be best if more people could suggest pardoning this swordsman, so that the leader can make the "judgment" to pardon Tanjiro Kamado.

If Ubuyashiki Kōya proposed to pardon Kamado Tanjiro when all the Pillars opposed it, the Pillars would regard his words as an order and personal intention.

This situation where they agree verbally but not in their hearts is actually not conducive to protecting Tanjiro Kamado and integrating him into the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even this very talented protagonist may die in battle due to a moment of hesitation that is not intentional but is likely to happen in reality.

Fang Yi has a good relationship with several "pillars", has a very strong record of battle under his command, and is also a person that Nakamori Yuto and Rengoku Chijuro trust very much. He is the most suitable person to propose a pardon plan.

After listening to what Ubuyashiki Yoya said, Fang Yi did not say anything, but just nodded, indicating that he agreed and understood and would do it.

Seeing that Fang Yi quickly understood his intention, Ubuyashiki Kakuya finally showed a smile on his tired face.

"give it to you."

Fang Yi walked out of Ubuyashiki Yoya's room, but did not choose to go find Nakamori Yuto and Rengoku Chijuro immediately.

He chose Kocho Shinobu who was "rescuing" the corpse in the temporary rescue site, and planned to find out what Liao Lin's sword was.

If he's capable of killing two pillars with one sword, why did Rengoku Kyojuro, who previously possessed information unfavorable to Liao Lin, survive?

[Or is it as I thought, that the opponent wasn't that strong when he first entered the scene?]

[Then how did the opponent suddenly become stronger? ]

Fang Yi felt that he needed to observe the corpse to obtain more information from the enemy.

He was ready to start making plans to crush this enemy to death.
