Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

After about half a day, Su Mu led the group to an area surrounded by wisteria trees.

…………

Tea was brewed inside the house, and steam rose. Ubuyashiki Tenon knelt in the main seat.

Her white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her face was slightly pale, and her eyes showed signs of fatigue.

The woman has a slender figure, yet possesses unexpectedly voluptuous curves.

Beside her was her daughter, Ubuyashiki Hina, who seemed to have dressed up specially today. Her face was almost a direct inheritance from Amane, and she was very beautiful. At this moment, she was kneeling next to her mother, her back straight, but her little hands were slightly clenched, showing that she was a little nervous.

Ubuyashiki Teruya was also sitting inside, glancing outside from time to time. When Ubuyashiki Amane looked at him, he immediately became serious again.

“Master, Mr. Su Mu has arrived.”

A swordsman entered to report.

"Please let Mr. Su Mu in."

Teruya Ubuyashiki stood up almost immediately.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps approached.

Su Mu stepped in.

For a fleeting moment as I crossed the threshold, the room seemed to dim a little.

Ubuyashiki Amane raised her eyes. This was the first time she had met the person her son often talked about. Before Ubuyashiki Kagaya left, she had also heard of the person's name.

Compared to the people here, Su Mu was very tall, and most people would find it hard to compare to him. Perhaps only Beimingyu Xingming was a head taller than him, but Beimingyu Xingming's height of 1.9 meters was quite rare here.

"I have met the Lord."

Su Mu bent down, but did not kneel on one knee like the others.

Ubuyashiki Teruya didn't think anything of this, and instead stepped forward enthusiastically.

After a brief chat, Su Mu realized that there were other people in the room.

He had seen Ubuyashiki Hina before. There was another one who vaguely resembled Ubuyashiki Hina, but she was more mature and composed, and had a very special aura.

Looking at the other person's snow-white hair, Su Mu roughly knew that this should be Ubuyashiki Amane, the daughter of a priest.

The priest represents mystery here.

Rumor has it that Ubuyashiki Amane possesses the ability to foresee the future in her dreams.

“This is my mother.”

Teruya Ubuyashiki immediately introduced him to Su Mu.

"Greetings, Madam."

Su Mu bent down, not looking at it much.

"Please sit down, sir. Kiriya has mentioned you many times, saying that you are the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Ubuyashiki Amane spoke, her voice soft and gentle, with a subtle, ethereal quality.

"Madam is too kind. Su Mu is not even a 'pillar', so I dare not call myself a pillar."

Su Mu shook his head. The pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps has always been the 'pillar', and it has always undertaken the most dangerous missions.

"Sir, you are too modest. Everything you have done and your contributions to the Demon Slayer Corps are beyond the reach of even the 'Pillars'."

Ubuya Shiki Amane spoke gently.

After a few brief pleasantries, the tea was ready.

Ubuyashiki Hina handed over a cup of tea she had prepared. When Su Mu took it, he noticed that the girl was looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes. When she saw him looking at her, she lowered her head shyly.

Picking up the teacup and taking a small sip, Su Mu felt rather puzzled. He had seen Ubuyashiki Hina a few times, but the girl today seemed strange.

"We are about to hunt down the Upper Moon Two. I wonder if you are confident?"

Ubuyashiki Amane inquired.

"We'll see, no one can really say for sure what will happen."

Su Mu shook his head.

Ubuyashiki Amane nodded and chatted for a while longer, mainly asking Su Mu if there was anything else he needed Ubuyashiki's help with. As long as it was within their power, Ubuyashiki would do their best to help.

Su Mu didn't stand on ceremony either, mentioning the need for official cooperation.

Ubuyashiki Amane hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.

As the number of ghost stories increased, the Demon Slayer Corps, an organization that had never been officially recognized, was finally officially recognized. At the same time, the Ubuyashiki also gained greater authority from the authorities. If the Ubuyashiki made any contact, the authorities would generally provide support. As for the cooperation from the authorities that Su Mu mentioned, there was absolutely no problem with it.

After listening to all of Su Mu's requests and resolving them one by one, seeing that Su Mu had no other requests, Ubuyashiki Amane closed her eyes slightly, her pretty face full of weakness.

This woman, who looked like a birch tree fairy, appeared so delicate that anyone who saw her wanted to immediately hold her in their arms and comfort her.

Since Kagaya Ubuyashiki left, Amane Ubuyashiki has been overwhelmed with grief and even contemplated suicide, but her son is still young and the Demon Slayer Corps is facing a dangerous situation, so she has no choice but to stand up.

Fortunately, the situation of the Demon Slayer Corps is slowly starting to improve, especially with the strategy proposed by Su Mu, the Demon Slayer Corps' situation is even better than before.

Furthermore, with the general public participating in the demon hunt, the number of demons that have died these days has even exceeded the number of demons the Demon Slayer Corps kills in a year.

Ultimately, the Demon Slayer Corps is an organization not officially recognized, and no matter how powerful it is, it can never compare to the official forces.

However, during this period, Ubuyashiki also did many 'things', such as releasing demons into some places. Although the Demon Slayer Corps dealt with them in time with swordsmen, it still caused the deaths of many nobles and had a great impact.

These are naturally extremely confidential matters.

They were all done privately by 'Ubuyashiki'.

Naturally, those people died voluntarily for the greater good or out of gratitude to the 'Ubuyashiki', and Su Mu was the only one left who knew about these things.

Ubuyashiki Amane wasn't so deranged as to take action against Su Mu, the person who made the suggestion, but regardless, since this involved a secret that couldn't be made public, they needed to have some deeper communication.

After resting her eyes for a while, Ubuyashiki Amane opened her tired eyes and looked at Su Mu: "I wonder if you are married, sir?"

No.

Su Mu looked up in surprise.

Ubuyashiki Amane had also investigated Su Mu, but unfortunately, she couldn't find anything out. All she knew so far was that he suddenly took the Kamado family to Mount Sagiri.

Therefore, the investigation turned to the Kamado family. They discovered that the Kamado family had lived in the deep mountains for generations, making a living by selling charcoal. Further investigation revealed that the ancestor of the Kamado family was Kamado Tankichi, who was a good friend of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, a genius swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this point, Ubuyashiki Amane probably understood why Su Mu knew about the 'spots', 'Crimson Blade', and 'Transparent World', because it was all proposed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

However, Su Mu remains a mystery.

Everything about Su Mu flashed through his mind, and he carefully observed Su Mu again. He was quite strong, had a great temperament, and was very gentle...

After taking a closer look, Ubuyashiki Amane was quite satisfied. So, she took her daughter's hand and said, "This is my daughter, Ubuyashiki Hina. You've seen her before, right?"

"I have met you, Madam."

Su Mu nodded.

What do you think of my daughter, Hina?

Ubuyashiki Amane asked the question.

"Forehead……"

Su Mu hadn't expected Ubuyashiki Amane to bring up this topic, and after a slight hesitation, he spoke up.

"Miss Hinata is gentle, virtuous, well-educated, and very beautiful..."

As Su Mu spoke, he inadvertently glanced at the girl beside him. At that moment, Ubuyashiki Hina's cheeks were slightly flushed, her lowered eyelids trembled slightly, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Ubuyashiki Amane nodded slightly: "Does the master think that Hinako is a good match for you?"

The room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Ubuyashiki Teriyasu already knew about this matter, and at this moment his eyes were also fixed on Su Mu. Although they had discussed it before, Ubuyashiki Hinai was also feeling shy and uneasy, and even a little bit of anticipation.

Su Mu was stunned for a while.

"Madam is too kind."

Su Mu gave a wry smile, "Miss Hinata might not even be interested in me..."

"Sir, you are too modest."

Ubuyashiki Amane interrupted him: "Hina is getting older, and as her mother, I must find a reliable person for her. You are a steady and capable person, and you are trusted by Teruya. Only by entrusting Hina to you can I feel at ease."

She paused, a gentle smile appearing on her pale face:

"Besides, Hina herself is willing."

Ubuya Shiki Hina finally raised her head, her eyes, so like her mother's, filled with shyness and determination, her voice barely audible:

“Sir… Hina is willing to serve you.”

Chapter 252 It seems he's hooked up with a rich woman.

Su Mu never expected that during this meeting, Ubuyashiki Amane would propose to marry her daughter, Hina, to him. To be honest, this left Su Mu somewhat at a loss.

But Su Mu probably had some guesses.

Perhaps it's because of my previous mention of releasing evil spirits into certain areas, or perhaps they want to deepen their connection with me, or maybe they genuinely think I'm a good person...

But in any case, this is not a bad thing.

After all, Hinai inherited her mother Ubuyashiki Amane's looks and was a very nice girl herself.

He was willing to do so.

However, he still needs to consider Nezuko and Kanao's thoughts.

"How about it?"

Ubuyashiki Amane asked the question.

At this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable. Logically speaking, her daughter Hina was exceptionally talented and the darling of Ubuyashiki; countless men would want to marry her.

She had assumed that Su Mu would be overjoyed to hear this, or would be eager to agree.

However, Su Mu's attitude clearly did not meet Ubuyashiki Amane's expectations.

Su Mu looked up, glanced at Hina Ubuyashiki who had said "willing to serve you" and then lowered her head, her small hands clutching her dress, before smiling wryly and saying, "Hina-san is a very nice girl, and she's also very beautiful. Any boy would probably like such a good girl, and I'm no exception."
