Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

After all, the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps hold a high position within the organization.

As for the lord...

Because she lived a secluded life, her orders were usually relayed by her wife, Ubuyashiki Amane. As a result, the lord had not yet been recognized by the villagers, but his wife had.

Soon after, the lord's identity was also revealed, and then...

A group of people gathered around and escorted Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the others forward, their chattering somewhat noisy.

Listening to the villagers' concern, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently and patiently answered one question after another.

Of course, he was not so overwhelmed by the villagers' enthusiasm that he forgot the purpose of his trip. After chatting with the villagers for a while, he seized the opportunity to ask about Fang Rui's location.

"Mr. Fang Rui should be in the ore warehouse," a villager replied.

"Thank you very much." With that, the group changed their direction.

Since the forging workshop and the ore warehouse are in the same area, going to the ore warehouse requires passing through the forging workshop, which means...

"Yiyong, what are you doing?"

As Yoshiyuki Tomioka slowly made his way down the street while shouting slogans, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's expression was somewhat blank.

"I'm helping."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka answered methodically, saying he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

“...Is that so?” Kagaya Ubuyashiki hesitated, then ultimately said nothing.

Shinobu Kocho remained silent for a moment; why did she have this strange feeling that Giyu Tomioka was being bullied?!

Perhaps it was because of Giyu Tomioka's previous demeanor and temperament that there was a slight problem.

"I'm going to see Fang Rui now, why don't you come with me?"

"it is good."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka nodded slightly and headed to the warehouse with Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the others.

At the warehouse entrance, Fang Rui and He Yuan Tiezhen were discussing some matters related to the ore-producing area.

Why can Crimson Agate and Crimson Iron Sand absorb sunlight's energy?

"……do not know."

Kawahara Tetsujin slowly shook his head. He had no idea how the craftsmen of that time discovered the special abilities of the Scarlet Ape Ore and Scarlet Ape Sand Iron, since there was no record of it in the books.

and……

During his time forging blacksmiths, he never thought about this question; in fact, most craftsmen never thought about it. The question that craftsmen should be thinking about is how to forge stronger weapons.

"Is this so..."

Fang Rui carefully examined the scarlet ore, scrutinizing it from the outside in. The characteristics of the ore were clearly displayed in his field of vision.

Just as water absorbs heat, do Crimson Agate and Crimson Iron Sand absorb sunlight energy...?

'It's very special! It's like an item specifically created to subdue evil spirits.'

'but……'

'Thinking about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable; a world where hell exists cannot be judged by ordinary standards.'

With this thought in mind, Fang Rui began to ponder what kind of items he could make from the Crimson Ape Ore and Crimson Ape Sand Iron, items that could be used to craft magical artifacts and low-grade magical treasures, as well as auxiliary materials for mid- to high-grade magical treasures...

It has no other uses.

but……

The existing uses are numerous enough. We could consider leveling up their proficiency to create some special items for the Demon Slayer Corps, let them try them out, and have each of them write a review after using them...

Okay, great, let's do it this way!

Having made up his mind, Fang Rui prepared to put it into practice. Just as he was about to put the ore into his storage ring, a noisy sound interrupted his thoughts.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, a lively scene unfolded before his eyes.

Meeting Fang Rui's gaze, Ubuyashiki Kagaya smiled and nodded, then asked as if looking for a topic of conversation:

"What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about Crimson Ape Ore."

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed across the surface of the storage ring, and about 500 kilograms of ore vanished instantly. Everyone present was shocked, and those who were unaware of the situation scrambled to find weapons.

In this world, anything unusual can be assumed to be the work of evil spirits.

While everyone was terrified, fearing that the swordsmith village had been discovered by demons, Kagaya Ubuyashiki remained calm. His surprised expression vanished in an instant, and he reassured the panicked crowd, telling them that the previous anomaly was not the work of demons, but rather a new technology mastered by the Demon Slayer Corps.

Although the people present did not believe Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, since they sounded very unbelievable, they had complete faith in Kagaya Ubuyashiki himself.

Since the adults say it's okay, then it must be okay.

The panic in their hearts quickly dissipated. The group looked at each other for a moment, and then said their goodbyes and left the place one after another.

Based on the current situation, it seems that the lord has something to discuss with someone, and it's not a good idea for them to stay here any longer.

"Want to go for a walk together?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki extended an invitation, and for him, who had regained the ability to walk, a leisurely stroll was indeed a wonderful thing.

Unfortunately, Fang Rui didn't think that way. For him, who had just wandered around the ore warehouse, taking a hot shower was a wonderful thing.

"No, I'd rather soak in a hot spring."

Fang Rui refused very decisively; he had no interest in taking a walk or anything like that.

"Hot springs..."

I haven't been to a hot spring in ages... Thinking this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "That's great, let's go together!"

"I refuse. I hate going to hot springs with men."

"Is that so? What a pity..." Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked somewhat disappointed.

Fang Rui's eye twitched slightly. "Do you know what? Your reaction right now is very problematic."

"The swordsmith village doesn't have mixed-gender bathing." Yoshiyuki Tomioka, seemingly a beat slow to react, suddenly interjected, saying under everyone's gaze, "Are you going to open a new hot spring? A mixed-gender one..."

"emmm..."

Of the three men present, all except Giyu Tomioka fell into deep thought.

This is a very difficult decision.

If you agree...

The three men glanced at the women present, feeling that they were about to be looked down upon!

It seems a bit of a shame to refuse...

This is such a dilemma!

"No need." Before the three could say anything, Shinobu Kocho spoke first, her smile unusually "kind." "Mr. Giyuu, don't say things that are 'unnecessary,' or it could be dangerous."

When Shinobu Kocho said the words "it's unnecessary," her tone was very heavy, and there seemed to be a murderous aura about her.

Following his instincts, Giyu Tomioka nodded slightly: "Okay."

Although Ubuyashiki Amane didn't say anything, her "gentle" gaze remained fixed on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's face.

Ubuyashiki Hina and the others stared at Ubuyashiki Teruya, feeling a considerable sense of pressure from the gazes of his older and younger sisters.

"Ahem, ask the owner of the hot spring shop if they have any single-person hot spring pools."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's rather abrupt change of topic seemed to be an attempt to avoid getting into trouble.

As for Fang Rui… he wasn’t stared at, but that feeling of being ostracized was actually…

Quite interesting!

(⊙o⊙) Wow! Let's have some gossip!

That's really interesting~

Although Yoshiyuki Tomioka's suggestion of mixed bathing was not adopted, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's proposal for independent private hot spring baths was adopted, or rather, it had existed for a long time...

Soaking in the hot spring water, Fang Rui looked up at the night sky, where a bright moon hung high and the stars shone brightly.

Due to a recently developed habit, the technique called "Star Number" began to operate, and some information appeared in Fang Rui's mind.

"Hmm, information about ghosts..."

"...Now that we've reached a cooperation agreement, it's only right that we share some information."

"However... how should we best provide information for the future?"

Listening to the sounds coming from next door, Fang Rui began to think...

He discarded the methods of some charlatans and riddle tellers, analyzing them from various angles to find that those methods were not suitable for him.

therefore……

"Leave it to the clone! I'm sure he'll handle it well."

What are clones for? Aren't they just there to help the main body handle trivial matters and problems?!

With one thing resolved, Fang Rui began to consider another...

Given Yoriichi Tsugikuni's personality, the idea of ​​him hiding his identity and infiltrating the Demon Slayer Corps is something he... no, it's definitely impossible for him to agree to.

but……

Sending him out to slay evil spirits is also problematic.

After all, Muzan Kibutsuji's fear of Yoriichi Tsugikuni was ingrained in his DNA. If Yoriichi Tsugikuni were to show up, Muzan Kibutsuji would likely choose to hide, even if he had not confirmed the authenticity of "Yoriichi Tsugikuni".

Chapter 274 In the Process of Purchasing Goods

and so……

We need to disguise ourselves.

Is Kamen Rider Tsugikuni Yoriichi better? Or Armor Hero Tsugikuni Yoriichi better?

Or rather, it would be better to have Yoriichi Tsugikuni, a steam-powered armor suit more in line with the times.
