After dinner, Kitagawa Yu first took a relaxing bath to wash away the fatigue of a day's training, and then changed his clothes and went to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters again as agreed to receive the second batch of prayers.
There were more than 30 people present, including many familiar faces.
In the main story, all nine Pillars except for Mitsuri Kanroji and Muichiro Tokito, who will join the Demon Slayer Corps two years later, have already arrived.
"I wonder how many prayers Giyu Tomioka, Obanai Iguro, and Tengen Uzui will receive this time."
Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Next, everyone completed the prayer under the guidance of Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Whether it was because Kagaya Ubuyashiki had given them prior instructions or because of his high prestige, not even Sanemi Shinazugawa, a hot-tempered troublemaker, raised any objections throughout the entire process.
However, the human heart is the most difficult thing to control.
The number of people praying this time was more than three times that of yesterday, but Kitagawa Yu only received four prayers.
They came from Kyojuro Rengoku, Giyu Tomioka, and Obanai Iguro and Sanemi Shinazugawa, whom he originally did not think would succeed.
It would be a lie for Kitagawa Yu to say he wasn't disappointed with this result.
However, including yesterday's wishes, there are now 12 wishes, which is quite a lot.
"Contentment brings happiness; one should not be too greedy."
Kitagawa Yu muttered to himself, quickly adjusting his mindset.
Over the next day, Kitagawa Yu successfully mastered the Rice Spirit, and then, under the guidance of Kuwajima Gojiro, began training in the Heat World Lightning.
Meanwhile, the Pillars and elites who had rushed over did not disperse. Instead, they held an early meeting of the Pillars under the chairmanship of Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
In the conference room, Kagaya Ubuyashiki shared the information he had obtained from Yu Kitagawa with everyone, but concealed the secret of the markings.
If he could, he wouldn't want these swordsmen, whom he regarded as children, to activate their markings and shorten their lifespans.
After the meeting, he divided all the pillars present into two groups.
Led by Kyojuro Rengoku and Giyu Tomioka, they head to Tanjiro's house, which they have already located, and try their best to bring Tanjiro and his family, along with the Sun Breathing Technique, back safely.
Of the remaining five pillars, Kanae remained at the Butterfly Mansion to oversee daily medical work, while the other four were led by the strongest, Gyomei Himejima, to Yoshiwara's entertainment district to eliminate Upper Moon Six J, Futaro, and his sister, Daki.
Now that he knew that two powerful evil spirits were lurking there and harming people, Kagaya Ubuyashiki naturally wouldn't ignore it.
Even eliminating it just one day earlier could have saved several lives.
"Daki usually frequents the Kyogoku-ya, Ogimoto-ya, and Tokito-ya, but over the past hundred years, they have dug a huge underground cave beneath the Yoshiwara yukata. They use it to store 'food' and escape through the network of secret passages in the cave if they encounter danger. So you must prevent her from escaping into the cave."
"Yes, my lord!"
Kitagawa Yu learned of this news from Kocho Shinobu during lunch the next day.
then
What should I do if I suddenly feel an itch to use my hands?
It's like a hero who, after mastering the art of slaying dragons, can't resist the urge to find an evil dragon to slay; or like someone who, after finally learning a powerful skill in a game, always wants to find a boss to fight.
Otherwise, why bother learning such a powerful skill?
Kitagawa Yu isn't a hero, nor is he particularly warlike, but he loves playing games!
Seeing how he could easily cleave a man-sized rock in two with a single stroke, as if cutting tofu, he couldn't resist the urge to find a ghost to kill.
Upper Moon demons are all quite dangerous, and even with Elena, Chitsuka, and Shinobu Kocho together, he doesn't really want to get involved for the time being.
But
"If it's a waning crescent moon, then there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
The thought of killing a waning crescent moon four years ahead of schedule and saving hundreds of humans who would be eaten by it in the future made him eager to let Lei experience what it meant to receive divine justice.
That's right, his target was Lower Moon Five, Rui.
Besides J. Futaro and Daki, this guy is the only one whose lair location has been explicitly mentioned.
As night fell, a bright moon cast a soft glow, draping the earth in a silvery veil. Distant mountains were faintly visible in the darkness, resembling a delicate ink painting.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves as they swayed softly in the moonlight.
The whole world seemed to be asleep, looking so quiet and peaceful.
Then, a dark shadow flew across the night sky, and a noisy commotion could be faintly heard from it.
"Hey, can't you hurry up? How much longer until we get there?"
"Please! Do you think I don't want to fly faster? But look how many people there are! Five! Five people! This is a flying carpet, not an airplane!"
"It's all my sister's fault! Why did you come along? He's just a Lower Moon Five. With the strength of a few of us, do you think we can't beat him?"
“But didn’t Yu-kun also say that Lower Moon Five is still very powerful for those below the Pillar level? Although Yu-kun has Pillar level strength, this is his first real battle. In addition, Lower Moon Five has many subordinates with him, so of course I have to come along to ensure your safety.”
"."
Kanae's gentle, unhurried tone immediately discouraged Shinobu Kocho, who was eager to take on more independent responsibilities.
Behind her, Chizuki, whose cheeks were already slightly flushed from being pressed tightly against Kitagawa Yu's arms, suddenly felt a strange sensation from below. She was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red, her eyes filled with shyness, and then she inexplicably leaned back in annoyance.
The next second, Kitagawa Yu, who was sitting in the last seat and was already embarrassed and didn't know what to do, suddenly froze, involuntarily gasped, and almost fell off the small flying carpet.
"Um... would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"
"."
Even the usually carefree Chizuka was now acting like an ostrich, reflecting on her actions and wishing she could find a crack to hide in immediately.
Unfortunately, she was on a flying carpet, so she could only lower her head and pretend she hadn't heard.
It wasn't until an hour later that the severely overloaded flying carpet finally arrived at Spider Mountain.
Before he had even landed completely, Kitagawa Yu, who had experienced both pain and joy along the way, was the first to jump, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Originally, his plan was simply to fight a small boss and test his new skills; he and Elena would be enough.
But who knew that when it was time to set off, there were five of them.
Shinobu Kocho was worried they would get lost, and Kanae was worried they would encounter danger.
As for the thousand bundles
If everyone goes, are we going to leave her alone?
Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but look at Chizuka, who was also secretly looking at him. The moment their eyes met, a silent ambiguity seemed to be transmitted through them like an invisible current, making their hearts skip a beat.
"I'll make the first move; you can just watch from the sidelines."
"I know~"
Elena glanced at the two of them quickly, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort of dissatisfaction.
It would be one thing if it were any other time, but this time it was supposed to be just her and Kitagawa Yu going on an adventure together, so how did it turn into a group trip?
So angry!
On the other side, Lei also heard the commotion and quickly led his family of ghosts out of the mansion in front of him. He looked at Kitagawa Yu and the others opposite him with a blank expression.
"The mechanisms in the mountains weren't triggered, so where did these humans come from?"
That's right. Although Kitagawa Yu came to fight the boss, he didn't plan to start from the bottom of the mountain and clear each level step by step. Instead, he relied on Elena's flying ability to skip all the levels and went directly to the old house where Rei's family usually lived.
As for Lei, even after living for so many years, he never imagined that humans would possess the ability to fly, a skill rarely found even by ghosts.
However, this did not affect his desire to eliminate Kitagawa Yu and the other invaders.
"Father!" Lei called out calmly, his face expressionless.
Before he could finish speaking, the demon beside him, who was nearly 2.5 meters tall and had a human body and a spider head, stomped hard on the ground and charged towards Kitagawa Yu like a raging bull.
Spider Dad's speed is average, but his strength and defense are extremely high, second only to Rui among this family of demons.
Kitagawa Yu's mind raced through information about the demon, his expression turning slightly cold as he gripped the hilt of his Nichirin Blade with his right hand.
This Nichirin Blade belongs to Kuwashima Gojiro; he's only borrowing it temporarily.
Although it's not a perfect match for him, it's enough to handle the current battle.
Facing a demon for the first time, and with the aim of killing the enemy for the first time, Kitagawa Yu unleashed his full power in this attack without holding back.
Breath of Thunder·Two Types·Rice Soul!
As if vying with the bright moon in the sky, at this moment, more than a dozen golden lightning bolts, each as thick as a finger, suddenly lit up on Kitagawa Yu's body, making him look like a thunder god descending to earth.
The next second, even Kanae, who was a Pillar, couldn't see his movements clearly. Five lines of blood suddenly appeared on Spider Dad's body, who had already rushed to within five meters of him.

Chapter 120 Death is the only relief
Only then did the sound of thunder reach everyone's ears.
Under the cover of night, blood splattered.
The spider father's forward-rushing body broke apart into six pieces due to inertia, then continued to fly forward for several meters before tumbling several times upon landing.
Finally, as if falling into an invisible flame, it quickly turned into ashes.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
To be honest, even Kitagawa Yu himself was a little surprised that the Spider Father, who had tortured Tanjiro and Inosuke to the point of near death in the main story, was so easily defeated.
The entire family of ghosts opposite them all changed their expressions drastically, and couldn't help but gasp. Even Lei, who always had a cold face, had his pupils dilate and couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
You should know that in Lei's pretend play game, Spider Dad is responsible for protecting the family, and his fighting power is second only to Lei among them.
If even the Spider Father was killed so easily, then they are even less of a match for Kitagawa Yu.
The spider mother and her two older sisters looked at Lei with fear.
At this point, they weren't worried about whether Rui would be a match for Kitagawa Yu; what they were worried about was whether Rui would make them take action.
You see, according to the rules of the "playing house" game, the older ones are supposed to protect the younger ones.
Simply put, it means that when danger arises, everyone should stand in front of the injured.
Now that the spider father is dead, according to the rules of the game, it's the spider mother and her two older sisters' turn.
At this point in the main story, one of the spider sisters who escaped because she couldn't stand Rui's brutality, but was captured and killed by Rui, is still alive, so Rui now has two sisters.
