You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

This is because Suoh Takeshi's talent is so extraordinary, even more extraordinary than Tokito Muichiro's.

These Pillars had discussed it privately and all felt that the key to killing Muzan Kibutsuji might not be the Sun Breathing Technique...

—But it's Suoh Takeshi himself!

They had a feeling that the key to killing Muzan Kibutsuji lay with Takeshi Suoh!

However, since Suoh Takeru was not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, they had no way to force him to stay.

'No, this matter must be discussed with the lord.'

The pillars secretly exchanged glances.

Suoh Takeshi was completely unaware of this.

Chapter 034 Meeting with Kagaya Ubuyashiki

into the night.

Zhou Fangwu was alone.

He has had a very fruitful week.

Not only did he learn all the breathing techniques, he also mastered the powerful skill of [Breathing Technique: Total Concentration: Constant Concentration].

Don't underestimate it!

Suoh Takeshi almost failed to learn it!

Strictly speaking, [Breathing Technique - Total Concentration - Normal] is not considered a skill.

It belongs to a state of maintaining [breathing technique - total concentration].

Suoh Takeshi's predicament lies in:

He understood how to use the skill and successfully used it, but he just couldn't maintain that state for long.

This also made him realize that his cheat had this drawback.

Fortunately, he has good talent.

It took five days.

For five whole days without sleep or rest, relying on my strong physique to keep my body in a constant state of awareness, getting used to it, and remembering the feeling of the breathing technique running continuously, forcing my body to develop an instinct for it.

Even so, he only managed to learn it on the very last day.

The breathing technique of total concentration and constant concentration is undoubtedly very difficult.

But in return, the rewards it brings are enormous!

Suoh Takeru could feel that his physique was becoming even stronger with the constant activation of his breathing technique!

At the same time, he also discovered that he was at his strongest when using the Water Breathing Technique!

It's even stronger than using the Sun Breathing Technique!

Over the past week, he has learned more than a dozen breathing techniques, but he is most comfortable with the "water breathing technique".

That feeling of doing whatever he wanted made him feel very comfortable.

He found this very strange.

It wasn't until he saw the unassuming skill "[Water Element Affinity (Advanced)]" among the densely packed skill bars on his adventurer card that he understood why.

It must be Aqua.

She is the goddess of water, and in Suoh Takeshi's memory, only Aqua has the ability to grant others elemental affinity.

Of course, it's also possible that Suoh Takeshi imitated it unintentionally.

Speaking of Aqua, I wonder how Kazuma and the others are doing.

How are the food and accommodation?

Did they move them out of the stables?

How well are you getting along with Huihui and Darkness?

……

These questions slowly surfaced in his mind.

He was starting to miss his team members.

bang bang bang-

knocking.

Just as he was wondering how his team members would greet him when he returned, Shinobu Kocho's voice came from outside the door.

"Suoh-kun, are you resting? The head of the family requests your presence."

"Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya?"

Suoh Takeshi was surprised and called out, "Wait a moment."

Is there something you need to talk to him about so late?

Without thinking too much, I quickly tidied up my messy clothes, opened the door, and saw Shinobu Kocho standing outside.

"Shinobu, what does the head of the Ubuyashiki family want with me?"

"I'm sorry, Suoh-kun, I don't know why the head of the family would look for you."

Butterfly said with a smile.

But judging from her expression, it wasn't as if she didn't know the reason as she claimed.

What kind of riddle are we talking about?

However, Suoh Takeru did not have the ability to read minds, so he had no choice but to follow her.

The Demon Slayer Corps headquarters is not far from the Butterfly Mansion.

When Suo Takeshi arrived at the headquarters, he found the entire room brightly lit, as if it were specially welcoming someone's arrival.

Without a doubt, they were welcoming Suoh Takeshi.

"Such a grand display?"

Suoh Takeshi frowned slightly; he was also unsure why Ubuyashiki Kagaya had summoned him.

Aside from his first meeting with Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the rest of his week was spent having the Pillars relay his instructions.

Upon arriving outside, Shinobu Kocho bowed and said, "Master, Suoh-kun has come at your invitation."

"Thank you for your hard work, just bear with it."

Supported by his child and wife, Kagaya Ubuyashiki came out of the house. "Shinobu, you may leave for now."

"As ordered."

Shinobu nodded in agreement, but smiled at Takeshi Suoh before leaving.

'Hiss... There's a conspiracy!'

This was Suoh Takeshi's first reaction.

Shinobu's smile wasn't malicious, but he was still a little flustered.

"Suoh-kun, please come in for a chat."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki exudes the nobility of a large family, and his words, actions, and etiquette are all just right. His voice is calm, gentle, and approachable, making him never annoying.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Although Kagaya Ubuyashiki is blind, Takeshi Suo still demonstrates his excellent manners.

Following Kagaya Ubuyashiki's steps, Takeshi Suo slowly walked into the clean, tidy, and bright hall.

The hall was simply furnished, with only one table on which tea was being brewed.

The tea has a rich, lingering, and smooth flavor.

The tea is slightly old.

This was Suoh Takeshi's first reaction, but then he turned his head and was stunned. 'When did my sense of smell become so good?'

Before he could think it through, he heard Kagaya Ubuyashiki say, "Suoh-kun, please sit down."

He plopped down on the tatami mat.

The tea is still being simmered gently, and the flavor becomes even richer after this process.

Neither of them spoke.

Suoh Takeshi carefully examined Ubuyashiki Kōya.

His handsome face was marred by an unsightly scar; the hideous, deep purple scar covered the entire area above his nose.

Even though his face was terrifying, his tranquil and peaceful aura made him seem approachable.

The two poles are reversed, which is extremely strange.

'He's truly a special person.'

Soon, the water boiled.

Ubuyashiki Amane (his wife) performed a master-level tea ceremony for the two of them, and Suoh Takeshi naturally imitated this skill.

"Please use it."

Ubuyashiki Amane placed the brewed tea in front of him.

Thank you.

Suoh Takeshi took a small sip. "Good tea!"

This tea is definitely not your average tea. It has a rich, smooth, and flavorful taste. Combined with top-notch tea ceremony, the fusion of the two fully brings out the tea's flavor.

Upon hearing the praise, Ubuyashiki Amane bowed slightly, showing a hint of humility.

The two continued drinking tea.
