Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Ubuyashiki Amane nodded slightly.

"I have no objection myself, but I still have some concerns."

"What concerns?"

Ubuyashiki Amane's tone was somewhat unpleasant.

"Well, actually, I'm not single right now; I'm already dating Nezuko..."

Su Mu frankly told Ubuyashiki Amane about his situation, mainly about his relationship with Nezuko, and also about his situation with Kanao.

To be honest, Ubuyashiki Amane was somewhat annoyed when she heard these things.

Although outstanding men here are not short of women, for example, 'Sound Pillar' Uzui Tengen has three wives.

However, the situation of the Ubuyashiki Amane family is different.

Since marrying Kagaya Ubuyashiki, he has never remarried. Naturally, Amane Ubuyashiki also hopes that her future son-in-law will be devoted to her daughter.

However, Su Mu's honest attitude put Ubuyashiki Amane at ease.

After all, Su Mu could have simply not said any of this.

After Su Mu finished speaking, he sat there without saying a word. Ubuyashiki Amane was lost in thought and did not speak either. Ubuyashiki Hina held her sleeves tightly, her head slightly lowered, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

As for Teruya Ubuyashiki, he glanced at his older sister for a moment, and then at Su Mu.

The room fell into a very quiet state for a moment.

…………

In the end, Ubuyashiki Amane made the decision and agreed to the marriage, allowing Su Mu and his daughter Ubuyashiki Hina to take a walk alone in the courtyard.

The courtyard is beautiful, with many wisteria trees planted nearby, their petals fluttering in the wind.

Su Mu and Ubuyashiki Hina walked slowly. Occasionally, Su Mu would stop and look at Ubuyashiki Hina beside him.

The girl was graceful and had inherited almost all of her mother's excellent talents. She was beautiful, with long, silvery-white hair that cascaded down her back. She could be described as another fairy as beautiful as a birch tree.

However, at this moment, the girl lowered her head, her two small hands were almost tucked into her sleeves, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if telling the story of the girl's indignant state of mind.

"Hina, what do you think of what your mother said?"

Su Mu stopped and looked at Hina Ubuyashiki, who had also stopped.

The girl lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"If Hina doesn't like it, I will talk to Madam about it. I won't make things difficult for Madam."

Su Mu said in a low voice.

For any woman, it would be unbearable to have the man she was to marry still have a relationship with another woman. Moreover, Ubuyashiki Hina was from the 'Ubuyashiki' family, so she could be considered a favored daughter of heaven.

Generally speaking, such women are proud, and the prouder a person is, the less likely they are to share with others.

However, this might have been arranged by her mother, and Hina Ubuyashiki might have silently accepted it.

Therefore, if Hina Ubuyashiki disagrees, he won't force her; he'll probably just cancel the engagement.

Ubuyashiki Hina lowered her eyes slightly, her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't utter a sound.

Seeing Hina Ubuyashiki's conflicted attitude, Su Mu assumed that Hina Ubuyashiki must have some reservations about this. After all, it would be unacceptable for any proud woman. So, he spoke gently, "Don't worry, I will explain these things to Madam. I will refuse on my own and will not make things difficult for Hina."

With that, he turned around, preparing to explain these things to Ubuyashiki Amane.

But as soon as I left, I found my clothes being tugged by a small hand.

The girl, who had been keeping her head slightly lowered, raised her head at this moment, allowing Su Mu to clearly see what Ubuyashiki Hina looked like.

With her delicate oval face and straight, elegant nose, she was exquisite and beautiful.

When Ubuyashiki Hina saw that Su Mu had stopped, she released her grip, took a small step back, and bowed deeply, saying, "Sir, I entrust my care to you from now on."

Seeing all this, Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the girl's small hand.

Hina Ubuyashiki lowered her head and did not stop her, but her little face was flushed.

After holding hands, Su Mu didn't do anything else, just strolled around the courtyard with the girl.

This place was probably a base chosen by 'Ubuyashiki' after the Great Explosion, but it has all the features of pavilions, towers, bridges and streams, which shows the great financial strength of 'Ubuyashiki'.

Thinking of these things, Su Mu also showed a worried expression.

Ubuyashiki Hina had been secretly observing Su Mu all along, and seeing this, she asked in a low voice, "Is there something troubling you, sir?"

"I suddenly started thinking about things between us."

The girl felt a little shy, but also a little curious: "What?"

"I'm wondering if I'll have to give you a dowry if I marry you. My current salary is basically paid by 'Ubuyashiki,' so I'm afraid it won't be much..."

In fact, because of Nezuko's situation, Su Mu also learned about some local customs, including the requirement to give a bride price.

However, generally speaking, the bride's dowry should be of equal value. In fact, the higher the dowry, the more important it is to the bride's family, and to some extent, it also represents the face of the bride's family.

Regardless of the circumstances, given Su Mu's situation, it's impossible for him to offer a large dowry. However, it's conceivable that Ubuyashiki will provide an extremely high dowry.

Ubuyashiki Hina hadn't expected her husband to suddenly consider this issue. In fact, she was a little worried that he would lose face. So, she whispered, "Hina can persuade Mother to secretly prepare a dowry for you."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu's eyes widened in surprise.

He was just worried that the dowry he offered was too small, and compared to a family like the Ubuyashiki, it would make the Ubuyashiki family lose face.

Unexpectedly, Hina Ubuyashiki immediately went to persuade her mother to help her pay the bride price.

This really left Su Mu speechless, after all, it involved both betrothal gifts and dowry.

"Looks like I've snagged a rich woman."

Su Mu sighed.

Hina Ubuyashiki thought her husband was probably angry, which was why he said those words. But when she secretly glanced at him, she found that he didn't seem angry at all when he said those words, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, you don't need to worry about these things. Those things are just for outsiders to see. No matter how many there are, the young girls don't care."

Ubuyashiki Hina whispered, wanting to say that she was just concerned about people, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

The two held hands and strolled around the courtyard for a while. Because they still had things to do, their leisurely stroll didn't last too long.

When they parted, the girl handed him a sachet. Looking at the somewhat clumsy stitches on the sachet, it was probably embroidered by Hina Ubuyashiki herself.

Su Mu accepted it and wore it, but he was somewhat regretful because he hadn't prepared a gift since he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"Please be sure to take safety precautions during this mission, sir."

The girl looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes, filled with worry and concern.

"I will."

Su Mu smiled and turned to leave.

"May you, sir, enjoy great success in your military endeavors."

Watching Su Mu's departing figure, Ubuyashiki Hina clasped her hands together.

…………

After bidding farewell to Hina Ubuyashiki, Su Mu soon met the main force of this hunt: 'Flame Pillar' Kyojuro Rengoku, 'Stone Pillar' Gyomei Himejima, 'Wind Pillar' Sanemi Shinazugawa, and 'Flower Pillar' Kanae Kocho.

Aside from the 'Flame Pillar' Kyojuro Rengoku, Su Mu has met all the other 'Pillars', among whom he is most familiar with the 'Flower Pillar' Kanae Kocho.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha".

"Stone Pillar" Gyomei Siri clasped his hands together: "We will all obey your command in this mission entrusted to us by our 'Lord'..."

"Just tell me what to do, just tell me directly."

Sanemi Shinazugawa patted his chest forcefully, his tone friendly.

The attitude of the 'Wind Pillar' made the other 'Pillars' take notice.

After all, Sanemi Shinazugawa was notorious for his temper.

Kyojuro Rengoku is the most qualified to speak on this point. When he attended the 'Hill Meeting' in place of his father, Sanemi Shinazugawa verbally abused him, saying that he was not qualified to stand in the middle of the crowd, and even launched an attack on him.

It can be said that Sanemi's terrible attitude is directed at almost all newcomers, and there has never been an exception. Su Mu may have a considerable influence in the Demon Slayer Corps now, but he is far from reaching the level of a 'Pillar'. Now, this newcomer who has not reached the level of a 'Pillar' is directly leading them, which inevitably makes people resentful.

In the past, Sanemi Shinazugawa, the 'Wind Pillar', would never have been able to accept such a thing.

Even before they arrived, the group had considered that if Sanemi Shinazugawa did anything excessive, they would have to step in and persuade him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm a person with a terrible attitude?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa crossed his arms, looking quite displeased.

Rengoku Kyojuro remained silent for a moment.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, everyone knows that you, the 'Wind Pillar' Sanemi Shinazugawa, have the most volatile temper. Back when you became a 'Pillar', you even spoke harshly to your master.

Knowing his own temper, Shinazugawa Sanemi's face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence. He stepped forward and put his arm around Su Mu's shoulder, saying, "I believe Mr. Su Mu is a very capable person. I am convinced that he is in charge of this hunt for Upper Moon Two."

"He doesn't seem like Sanemi at all."

Rengoku Kyojuro sighed:

"I have never seen Sanemi so close to a newcomer."

Hearing this, Shinazugawa Sanemi felt embarrassed and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

"Thank you all very much for your trust. I will take this hunt for Upper Moon Two very seriously."

Su Mu also smiled.

He probably knew that the key to Shinazugawa Sanemi's close attitude was related to his younger brother.

After a brief exchange with the other Pillars, and a discussion of precautions for dealing with Upper Moon Two, the group set off.

…………

The headquarters of the Eternal Bliss Sect.

Female believers knelt in the hall, listening to the elder believer explain the doctrine.

"Since you are all joining the Eternal Bliss Cult, you will be members of our cult from now on. We, the followers of the Eternal Bliss Cult, must maintain a calm attitude and live life happily. There is no need to force yourself to do things that cause discomfort or pain..."

The old believer stood on the platform, teaching the doctrines of the Eternal Bliss Church to the new believers. Seeing the attentive attitude of each believer, the old believer's face was extremely excited.

For a long time, the number of followers of the Eternal Bliss Church has remained at around 250. It is not that they have not thought about expanding, but the founder of the church has never agreed. Only recently has the desire to expand the number of followers been confirmed, which has made the old followers extremely excited and eager to witness the Eternal Bliss Church flourish.
