Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 144 I always like to solve the people who create problems

When Fang Yi walked into the meeting room and said, "I seem to be late, but I have brought a solution that satisfies everyone", he attracted the attention of all the pillars.

The Wind Pillar, Fuzukawa Shigeya, was no exception. When his eyes fell on the swordsman whose brilliance he had long wanted to see, his pupils shrank.

His intuition told him that this was a powerful person whose pace could not be caught up by the admiration of others, nor could the jealousy in their hearts catch up with him.

This man, wearing a navy blue haori, with an ordinary sun blade on his waist, and a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face, said words that Fuzukawa Shima should have sneered at.

If someone else said this under normal circumstances, Fuzukawa Minoru would definitely argue and explain his point of view.

In fact, even when facing Ubuyashiki Kōya and Rock Pillar: Gyomei Shomei, Fuzugawa Minoru often reveals his hot temper.

Once something goes against his point of view, he will roar at his companions like an angry bear, with veins bulging on his neck, and his scarred face gives people an extraordinary sense of oppression.

But at this moment, this man exuded an indescribable aura, and his words were filled with extraordinary confidence and unprecedented determination, which made Fuzukawa Shinobu want to believe him.

At the same time, Fuzukawa Minoru had a premonition that if he yelled at him, there might be very bad consequences.

Therefore, he, who had just been talking word by word and firing at Zenitsu Agatsuma and the Kamado siblings at the same time, preparing to physically destroy them, suddenly became quiet.

He was going to listen to the other party's solution before making a decision. In his opinion, this ghost had to be dealt with no matter what.

Unexpectedly, the swordsman named Fang Yi sat down directly, nodded to Ubuyashiki Kazuya, said "Let's start the meeting" and said no more.

This made Fuzukawa Miyabi scratch his head.

[What he said must have a point, but how would he ensure the ghost's safety?]
-
When Fang Yi said that and nodded to Ubuyashiki Yoya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps understood what the other party was doing.

After all, this leader had just sent Crow to invite Ghost Doctor Tamayo to cooperate, so he was naturally well aware of the development of the [Human Transformation Drug].

But the leader was a little worried. It was said that it would take some time for the drug to take effect, and his premonition told him so.

The day of the decisive battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons is not far away.

Although no one knows when Muzan Kibutsuji will take action or why he will take action, the predictive ability that has always been in the leader's blood tells him that time is running out.

If the other party only uses the method of [Human Transformation Drug], it is likely that they will not be able to quickly dispel everyone's hatred of demons, or even accept the demon doctor Tamayo to fight alongside the Demon Slayer Corps.

It might take some more talking, but Ubuyashiki Kōya glanced at Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji and was a little surprised.

He was not surprised that Nakamori Yuto and Rengoku Chijuro would support Fang Yi's decision, but he did not expect that these two "pillars" would express their support for Fang Yi's decision in both explicit and implicit ways.

It seems that Fang Yi unexpectedly has a way of pleasing others. The leader glanced at Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji who kept staring at the navy blue haori on Fang Yi.

He had a feeling that this haori might lead to some interesting stories.

The leader quickly suppressed these thoughts in his mind, cleared his throat, and began the meeting according to the process he had prepared in advance for releasing the message.

He had some good news ready to release to boost the Demon Slayer Corps' low morale.
-
When Fang Yi walked into the courtyard, the first thing Mitsuri Ganlu Temple saw was a face that she was very familiar with.

It is beautiful, and more importantly, the other party rescued herself from the water wall that was almost suffocating her when she appeared for the first time. That face was deeply engraved in Mitsuri Kanroji's heart.

At the same time, the haori he was wearing was also carefully selected by me and I mustered up the courage to give it to him.

Staring at the haori, Mitsuri Kanroji could hardly suppress the smile on her lips.

[Hehe, the haori is really pretty, and he's even prettier. One piece of clothing isn't enough, so give him a few other pieces of clothing.]

Obviously, Miss Mitsuri Kanroji is not paying attention to Tanjiro Kamado right now.

Shinobu Kocho, who was standing by, stared at the navy blue haori on Fang Yi and began to wonder who had given her this haori, and who had gotten it before Fang Yi had agreed to give her the one.

"This haori doesn't look cheap. It's impossible for Nakamori Yuto. He doesn't have the money."

"There's a chance it could be the Purgatory family, but it's not high. Their aesthetics are not good enough."

"Tomioka Giyu is even more impossible. If he had half the emotional intelligence of Fang Yihazhi, he wouldn't have become a sworn enemy of Fuzugawa Minami."

Shinobu Kocho thought for a long time but still couldn't find the suspect.

She looked at Ubuyashiki Kōya and thought it was unlikely, then she looked at the blind Beimingjima Gyomei and thought it was even more outrageous.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Mitsuri Kanroji, who was laughing to herself, and shook her head.

[It feels even less likely]

[He must have bought it on a whim, but didn't we agree that I would give it to him?]

Shinobu Kocho was puzzled as she looked at Mitsuri Kanroji who was unable to suppress her smile.

Her friend seemed to have remembered something happy. Shinobu Kocho planned to ask this female swordsman, with whom she had a good relationship, what good things had happened to her when she had time.
-
After Fang Yi sat down, he was not in a hurry to solve the problem of Tanjiro Kamado. It was obvious that the leader, Ubuyashiki Yoya, had something to reveal.

He was not going to seize the opponent's stage and interrupt the opponent's performance. He wanted to start his own performance after the opponent left the stage, and at the same time greatly increase the friendship of the pillars and improve their morale and cohesion.

Rock Pillar·Gyoumei Sorrow should be able to obtain physical training and even small skills related to [Mind's Eye·False], and Tanjiro Kamado should be able to obtain information related to [Breathing of the Sun] and [Transparent World].

After resolving the suspicion against Agatsuma Zenitsu, he can also get the [First Form: Thunderbolt Flash] that Fang Yi lacked from the [Thunder Breathing] that he opened from the treasure chest of Gyoku.

This move is very similar to the charge technique he imitated from Chen Cheng before, and it is a move that is more suitable for Fang Yi himself.

At this moment, Fang Yi has some very important cards in his hands, including the news that Rengoku Kyojuro is alive, the news about the Two Upper Moons, and the successful development of the [Human Transformation Drug] countermeasures.

Since Uzui Mitsuya has temporarily stopped his "pursuit" of Tanjiro Kamado and Zenitsu Agatsuma, Fang Yi thinks he should let Ubuyashiki Kōya finish playing his cards first.

Based on Fang Yi's understanding of this leader and his performance in the original novel, Fang Yi would not think that he would just sit there and wait for death. He must have made some efforts to improve his chances of winning the battle against the Mute.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps to gain the trust of the Nine Pillars of Taisho just by relying on his ability to remember every fallen Demon Slayer swordsman, to get a lot of gold coins, and to say what others want to hear.

The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps must have some special qualities.

The other party's next words also confirmed Fang Yi's guess.
-
The first thing Ubuyashiki Kazuya said was an apology.

"I'm sorry that due to my poor decision-making, two 'pillars' were killed and one injured while on a mission in Flower Street."

"Muichiro died after bringing back his companion's body and delivering information to the enemy."

"The Demon Slayer Corps' already short supply of manpower has become even more strained." "If Mr. Fang Yi hadn't brought in two new Pillars as reinforcements, the next battle to kill Muzan Kibutsuji would have been very difficult."

When the two 'pillars' who died last night were mentioned, the scene instantly turned sad. The expressions of the pillars varied. Some gnashed their teeth, while others looked visibly depressed.

Seeing the mood declining, the leader immediately began to release good news continuously to boost morale.

He changed the subject and began to pull the emotions of the pillars upwards.

"Last night, I had a feeling the enemy might go to the stronghold, so I placed an excessive amount of explosives at the previous stronghold."

"The fragments ejected after the explosion were filled with various poisons I acquired through other channels, specifically designed to combat ghost regeneration."

"Then these traps were stepped into by that upper-rank demon."

Ubuyashiki Kōya's words touched upon the legendary demon, the Upper Moon One, and the effects of traps set specifically for demons.

This naturally attracted the attention of all the pillars, and the Wind Pillar, Fushigi Miyako, even held his breath, fearing that he would miss the outcome of this incident.

"The swordsman using a telescope from a distance observed that the Upper Rank demon had also been seriously injured."

"Its perception ability has also declined significantly, and it didn't even notice the swordsman who was watching it from a distance."

"The opponent will need some time to recover from this heavy blow, so we have a chance to catch our breath."

Upon hearing that the trap had achieved results beyond their expectations, everyone present was obviously relieved.

People are not afraid of fighting ghosts, but if they participate in a battle with no chance of winning, even the most determined people will feel a little despair and confusion.

After all, although the "Pillars" are powerful, they are still flesh and blood, not unchanging robots, and they also need some positive news to provide psychological comfort.

Now that it has been proven that the enemy is not invincible, morale will naturally boost.

Looking at the rising morale of the pillars, Ubuyashiki Yoya struck while the iron was hot and released another piece of news.

"The swordsman at the subordinate base has received some information, possibly about an upper-rank demon."

"They received information from concerned citizens that a powerful ghost was likely behind the Wanshi Jile Sect."

When Fang Yi heard this information, he immediately realized that this was Liao Lin's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Liao Lin wanted the Demon Slayer Corps to get this information and delay or even kill the demon who was investigating him.

It is even possible that he was trying to lure me into action and start evaluating my own and the Rock Pillar's true combat power.

The opponent should not take action this time, because he wants to retain a certain combat effectiveness of the Demon Slayer Corps, to be able to hold back one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo, and to create conditions for him to gain benefits from Muzan Kibutsuji.

But the other party certainly didn't expect that the unexpected letter in Chen Cheng's hand clearly explained the conflict between Liao Lin and Upper Moon Two, Douma.

At the same time, Fang Yi has figured out the truth behind Liao Lin's strengthening and knows his true purpose.

Fang Yi looked at the [Human Transformation Potion] (alchemical synthesis) in his hand, and had already thought about what he would "perform" in this battle with the Upper Two.

[This time, in front of Liao Lin, use a new character card]
-
After talking about a few more small things, the leader finally got to the point.

He looked at Fang Yi, who was giving a standard smile. Although his body was a little shaky, he still forced himself to formally introduce the swordsman to the pillars.

"Although the Demon Slayer Corps has suffered huge losses recently, and even the backup candidates for the Pillars are somewhat lacking, but..."

At this time, everyone present turned their eyes to Fang Yi. They naturally knew who Ubuyashiki Kōya was going to talk about.

"Maybe it's the blessing of gods and Buddhas, or the favor of fate, or maybe it's the heavens that answered my prayers to kill the evil spirits."
"That's why we brought Mr. Fang Yi, a man with indescribable talent, to us."

"Learn swordsmanship in ten minutes, kill a Lower Moon Five in ten minutes, and kill an Upper Moon Three in ten minutes. Learn [Breathing of Flame] in one day, and kill an entire street of demons in seconds."

"Faced with the siege of four Upper Ranks, he killed them all in a split second."

Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at Fang Yi, a hint of apology appeared on his face, and he continued to speak to the pillars.

"Honestly, I feel very ashamed to be given the title of 'Pillar'."

"Because these are far from commensurate with his actual achievements."

"I killed the evil spirit, indirectly saved more than one 'Pillar', and cultivated two 'Pillars'."

Ubuyashiki Yoya's words were obviously very effective. Tomioka Giyu's calm face also showed a rare emotional fluctuation, obviously remembering the experience of fighting side by side at dawn.

Shinobu Kocho also began to recall the night when Fang Yi blocked a fatal attack for her, the feeling of being embraced by her, and the other party's "promise to live for me".

Mitsuri Kanroji lowered her head, apparently remembering the scene when she first met Fang Yi. She secretly raised her head to take a look at the navy blue haori on Fang Yi, then quickly lowered her head again.

Nakamori Yuto had a blank expression on his face, but he clenched the knife in his hand, obviously remembering the first time he met Fang Yi in the stronghold where he was the only one who survived, and the words "demon slayer" that echoed in his ears.

Rengoku Chijuro's face was filled with excitement and a hint of fear, as he obviously remembered what Fang Yi said to him that night, "Pick up the knife, I will teach you how to fight."

Looking at the people who highly recognized Fang Yi, Ubuyashiki Yoya wanted to say something more, but due to his severe coughing, he had to "take the initiative" to leave the venue with the firm support of his wife.

Before he left, he made arrangements for Fang Yi.

"My health is not as good as it used to be. Now I can't even continue to preside over the meeting."

"And the Demon Slayer Corps also needs a leader to make decisions. Therefore, I will leave all matters related to the Demon Slayer Corps to Fang Yi."

"Next, the matter of Tanjiro Kamado will be handed over to you."

Fang Yi stood up and nodded. Not wanting to waste time, he immediately announced his decision to everyone.

"My approach is simple. I don't like to have other people change their opinions."

“I always like to solve the people who create the problems.”

Under the gaze of Tanjiro Kamado, who was being controlled by several swordsmen and trying to struggle with a look of despair on his face, Fang Yi grabbed Nezuko Kamado who did not resist at all.
