I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Hmm... I'm not quite sure what the principle is, but it's probably because of the gem in Miss Ji Lin's hand."
Upon hearing his lord's words, Rengoku Kyojuro nodded with an expression of understanding, and at that moment, Ji Lin's treatment was completed.
"Treatment complete~ Alright, Mr. Himejima, try opening your eyes slowly, please do so very slowly!"
Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Beimingyu Xingming nodded in understanding. At this moment, Beimingyu Xingming felt a sense of tension. To be honest, he found it hard to believe that he would be able to see the world one day. At the same time, he was worried that Ji Lin might be playing a cruel joke on him.
His past experiences have made it difficult for him to trust children and human nature.
However, it didn't matter to Himejima Gyomei even if he didn't regain his sight this time, since he had lived with complete blindness for so many years...
Soon, Himejima Gyomei slowly opened his eyes. A blinding light immediately struck him, and he instinctively shielded his eyes with his hand. The people around him were quite surprised by his reaction.
"Mr. Beiming Island, please take your time to adjust to the surrounding brightness."
As Himejima Gyomei's eyes gradually adjusted to the surrounding brightness, he was able to see everything around him. Looking at the petite little girl in front of him, Himejima Gyomei couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Seeing Himejima Gyomei's actions, Ji Lin smiled and looked at Himejima Gyomei, saying:
"Mr. Beiming Island, can you see now? Is there anything wrong with you?"
"I...I can see now..."
As he spoke, Himejima Gyomei looked toward Ubuyashiki Kagaya and the other Pillars, whose figures were clearly visible to him. This caused tears to well up in Himejima Gyomei's eyes.
Shinobu Kocho, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward and greeted Gyomei Himejima with a sincere smile, saying:
"Mr. Beimingyu, congratulations."
Next, Himejima Gyomei knelt down to express his gratitude to Himejima Rin. Himejima Rin was startled by Himejima Gyomei's sudden "kneeling" and quickly pulled Himejima Gyomei up.
But at that moment, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up:
"Hello—Miss Ji Lin, may I ask if your gem can cure the curse on my lord?"
Originally, Shinazugawa Sanemi subconsciously wanted to speak in the tone of a thug, but he quickly changed his words, after all, Shinazugawa Sanemi felt that Ji Lin was a respectable person.
Upon hearing Shinazugawa Sanemi's words, not only Ji Lin's attention was drawn, but also the attention of everyone else present.
Yes, even blindness can be cured by the spirit of the bereaved, so can the curse on the lord be cured?
Thinking of all this, everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Lin, who looked troubled and stroked his chin, saying:
"Hmm... I'm not sure about that, since I've never used the Tranquility Gem to remove curses or anything like that."
Hearing Ji Lin's words, the people present felt a little downcast. After all, if Ji Lin wasn't very sure, they wouldn't dare to let him try it on their lord.
But at that moment, Ji Lin said again:
"Although I don't know if the curse can be removed, it should be no problem to restore Mr. Ubuyashiki's body to a healthy state. And even if the curse cannot be removed, the Tranquility Gem can improve a person's physique and so on."
Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, those present showed expressions of hope.
Chapter 469 [Showing Demon Slayer to the Demon Slayer Corps (Part 1)]
In the secluded courtyard of the Demon Slayer Corps, surrounded by a group of Demon Slayer Pillars, Hime Rin was trying to heal the curse on the Demon Slayer Corps' lord.
Due to this strange curse, the children born to the Ubuyashiki family (especially the boys) are all weak and sickly, and die young. This forces the Ubuyashiki family to marry girls from the Shinto priest family generation after generation. Although this has successfully continued the lives of their descendants, even so, no one in the Ubuyashiki family has lived past the age of thirty.
This also led to a rapid turnover of the head of the Ubuyashiki family.
The Pillars sitting not far from Ji Lin were also watching Ji Lin, who was providing treatment to their lord, with great tension. The Pillars present did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Ji Lin's treatment of Ubuyashiki Kagaya.
Soon, the terrible scar on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's head, who was lying on the ground, began to fade. The Demon Slayer Corps Pillars who saw this also showed expressions of surprise. It seemed that Hime Rin's treatment was effective, which made the Demon Slayer Corps members present very happy.
After all, everyone present was very concerned about Kagaya Ubuyashiki's health. Just a few months ago, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyesight had been declining and his condition had been worsening, which made the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars very worried.
Fortunately, they no longer need to worry about their lord's safety.
After a while, the terrible scars on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's face completely disappeared. Then, Hime Rin stopped the effects of the Tranquility Gem and looked at Ubuyashiki Kagaya lying on the ground, saying:
"Alright, Mr. Ubuyashiki, the treatment is complete."
Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Ubuyashiki Kagaya slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes, which had turned white due to the curse, returned to their original state.
Looking at the clear world before him, Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't help but sigh. Over the past few months, his eyesight had been steadily declining, and today it was so poor that even a few meters in front of him, he could only see a blurry scene.
As Kagaya Ubuyashiki got up from the ground, his daughters helped him up. The Pillars gathered around Kagaya Ubuyashiki to ask their lord about his health.
In response to everyone's questions, Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, indicating that he had recovered considerably. Hime Rin, standing nearby, reminded Kagaya Ubuyashiki:
"Well, although Mr. Ubuyashiki's illness has been cured, I don't know if the curse on Mr. Ubuyashiki has been removed."
Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Ubuyashiki Kagaya shook his head with an indifferent expression. After all, he knew very well from his many years of experience that this curse would not be so easily removed.
Even so, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's gratitude towards Hime Rin was beyond words.
.................................................. ...
After dealing with the matters concerning Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Gyomei Himejima, everyone finally got down to business.
As Ji Lin turned on the projector connected to the tablet, the cover of the first volume of Demon Slayer was displayed.
"???"
Sitting on the cushion, Giyu Tomioka looked at Tanjiro, who was holding a Nichirin Blade and Nezuko in his arms, with a bewildered expression on the projection screen.
Why are Tanjiro and Nezuko here?
Standing to the side, Uzui Tengen looked at Tanjiro and Nezuko on the projection screen with a puzzled expression and asked Hime Rin:
"Miss Ji Lin, speaking of which, isn't this 'Story Biography' about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps? Who are these two children? And that girl looks like a demon, doesn't she?"
Upon hearing Yuzui Tengen's words, Ji Lin nodded and said:
"That's right, the girl in the boy's arms is a demon. By the way, they are siblings. The brother's name is Kamado Tanjiro, and the sister's name is Kamado Nezuko."
Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, many of the Pillars present showed expressions of regret, since there was no other way to deal with a person who had turned into a demon except to kill her.
Even Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Pillar, looked at Tanjiro and Nezuko on the screen with a pitying expression.
A sister turned into a demon and her brother, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps? It all seems like a tragedy...
Then Ji Lin turned to the next scene, which depicted Tanjiro carrying Nezuko, who was covered in blood, walking across the snow. Tanjiro, panting, said:
"Nezuko, don't die! Don't die!"
"I will definitely save you, I won't let you die, brother will definitely save you!"
Seeing this scene, the Pillars present couldn't help but feel sorry for Tanjiro and Nezuko's fate. Meanwhile, Giyu Tomioka recalled when he first met Tanjiro and Nezuko. To be honest, when he first met Tanjiro and Nezuko, he never expected that Nezuko would be able to resist her cannibalistic appetite.
This made Giyu Tomioka realize that he had made the right choice.
After watching the scene on the projection screen, Shinazugawa Sanemi felt a surge of emotion.
Then, as everyone continued watching, they saw another scene. In the next scene, Tanjiro was carrying a basket of charcoal and talking to his family, including his younger brother and sister. It was a very heartwarming scene that reminded the Pillars present of their own time with their families.
The next scene shows Tanjiro carrying charcoal to a village at the foot of the mountain. In this small village, it can be seen that Tanjiro is a kind, gentle boy who is willing to help others.
Most people would probably have a lot of goodwill towards someone like that.
Then, when everyone saw the words printed on the screen, "When happy times are shattered, there is always the smell of blood," they immediately felt that something terrible was about to happen.
The next scene shows Nezuko lying in front of her house, covered in blood.
Upon seeing this, Tanjiro rushed to Nezuko's side. Nezuko, covered in blood, was seen holding Rokuta. However, the next scene shifted to reveal a large amount of blood on the walls of the small house, where Tanjiro's family members lay in pools of blood.
The scene before him reminded Shinazugawa Sanemi of things from the past.
Chapter 470 [Showing Demon Slayer to the Demon Slayer Corps (Part 2)]
Several years ago, Sanemi Shinazugawa's family was very similar to Tanjiro's. He had seven siblings, and his father died for some reason, leaving only his mother to take care of them. However, one day his mother went out and for some reason did not return for a long time. When she returned, she had become a demon.
When he returned home, apart from himself who had run out to look for his mother and was unharmed, only his younger brother, Genya Shinazugawa, was still alive.
Thinking about all this, Sanemi Shinazugawa felt great sympathy for Tanjiro when he saw his family members die tragically in his home.
The scene then shifts, and everyone present sees Tanjiro carrying Nezuko through a snowy forest. From the dialogue on screen, it's clear that Tanjiro plans to take Nezuko to the village at the foot of the mountain for treatment. At the same time, Tanjiro is also constantly thinking about why he attacked his family.
The Pillars present also had a rough idea of what had happened. Based on the image on the cover, they all guessed that a demon had killed Tanjiro's family.
What puzzled them was why the demon who killed Tanjiro's family didn't eat their corpses. And why did Nezuko seem to have been deliberately spared?
This left Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the Pillars present unable to figure out what kind of conspiracy was behind the killing of Tanjiro's entire family by the demon.
In the following episode, everyone will see Nezuko suddenly turn into a demon. Because Nezuko moves around randomly, the two accidentally fall off the cliff next to them. Fortunately, there is snow on the ground, which allows Tanjiro to escape unharmed.
Seeing this, Mitsuri Kanroji breathed a sigh of relief, but what happened next made everyone's heart jump. Tanjiro saw his sister standing on the snow covered in blood, and seeing Nezuko's condition, Tanjiro rushed over with a look of anxiety.
But at that moment, Nezuko, who had turned into a demon, lunged at Tanjiro as if she had gone mad. Fortunately, Tanjiro reacted quickly and took out the axe from his waist, using the wooden handle to block Nezuko's demonic fangs.
When Tanjiro was defending against Nezuko's attack, he was trying to call Nezuko's rationality back. The other Hashira (except for Giyu Tomioka) felt sorry for Tanjiro's actions. They knew very well that once a person becomes a demon, they would go crazy and try to eat human flesh.
But then they saw Nezuko crying while biting the wooden handle. After seeing this, everyone wondered if Nezuko could regain her consciousness.
Giyu Tomioka watched this scene with a frown, and for some reason, he felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.
The next scene shows a figure whose face is not clearly visible, seemingly about to harm Nezuko. Surprisingly, the familiar asymmetrical clothing worn by the figure immediately identifies the person as Nezuko.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were drawn to Giyu Tomioka, who looked completely bewildered. He hadn't expected his first meeting with Tanjiro and Nezuko to turn out like this.
..........................................................
The subsequent plot unfolds just like in the manga, with Giyu Tomioka asking Tanjiro why he protects Nezuko, who has become a demon.
Tanjiro replied that Nezuko was his sister, while Giyu Tomioka, with a cold expression (actually expressionless), looked at Nezuko struggling in Tanjiro's arms and said:
"Is she still your sister?"
Upon hearing Giyu Tomioka's words, Tanjiro was speechless. In the brief moment that Tanjiro was momentarily distracted, Giyu Tomioka snatched Nezuko from Tanjiro's arms. Tanjiro looked terrified when he saw Nezuko being taken away.
Immediately afterwards, Giyu Tomioka told Tanjiro not to act rashly, and stated that regardless of whether Nezuko was Tanjiro's sister or not, he wanted Nezuko's head. Tanjiro quickly explained that Nezuko had not killed or eaten anyone, and that he had also sensed the presence of other demons in the house.
Tanjiro then promised that he would not let Nezuko hurt anyone and would heal Nezuko so that she could return to her human form.
The Pillars present sighed and shook their heads upon seeing this scene. After all, they had never heard of a demon being able to turn back into a human. They preferred that Giyu Tomioka kill Nezuko. If Tanjiro had this kind of mentality, he would eventually be eaten by his own sister.
The next scene shows Giyu Tomioka holding a Nichirin Blade, about to kill Nezuko. Tanjiro, seeing this, shouts for Giyu to stop and kneels down, begging Giyu not to kill his sister. The line displayed on the screen, "Please don't take anything away from me anymore..." deeply moves Sanemi Shinazugawa and Shinobu Kocho.
After all, Shinazugawa Sanemi and Kocho Shinobu had also lost their homes. Most importantly, Tokito Muichiro, who was standing there dumbfounded, felt a sense of familiar strangeness when he saw this scene.
Then, Tanjiro's kneeling and begging for mercy seemed to have angered Giyu Tomioka, who shouted at Tanjiro:
"Don't hand over the power of life and death to others!!"
Tanjiro was taken aback by Giyu Tomioka's words, and then Giyu Tomioka continued:
"Don't kneel down and beg others just because you're miserable!! If that worked, your family wouldn't have been killed!!"
