Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Unlike others, Suzuki Seimei not only recovers his strength by drinking cocktails, but also possesses the ability of super-speed regeneration, allowing him to use "Godspeed" as a regular sword technique.

Perhaps it was because Suzuki Seimei's instant kill of the "Sound Pillar" was so astonishing that it stunned the other "Pillars" as well, causing them to momentarily forget to continue judging Tanjiro.

Two girls dressed in floral kimonos and with short, white hair suddenly emerged from the courtyard and exclaimed in unison, "Our lord has arrived!"

These two very similar-looking twin girls are not servants of the Ubuyashiki family, but the biological daughters of Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

"Da da da……"

A soft footstep sounded, and Ubuyashiki Kagaya, whose face was severely disfigured and who was blind, slowly appeared before everyone with a warm and gentle smile.

"You've come, my lovely children."

Upon seeing this, two white-haired girls quickly stepped forward to help Ubuyashiki Kagaya to the corridor in front of the courtyard.

Feeling the warm sunlight falling on his face, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled slightly and said, "It looks like it's a nice day! The sky must be very blue, right? I'm very happy to be able to hold the biannual Pillars and Leaders meeting without any changes to the members."

"That's... an injury? No, is he sick? Is he our lord?"

When Tanjiro first met Kagaya Ubuyashiki, he was immediately drawn to the purple scars covering Kagaya's face and couldn't help but show a curious expression.

"boom!"

Just as Tanjiro was curiously observing Kagaya Ubuyashiki,

Suddenly, Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was standing next to him, pressed down on his shoulder and made him kneel down on one knee in front of Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

"Bang bang bang..."

Before Tanjiro could react, the other "Pillars" present also knelt down with respectful expressions.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was able to become the master of the Demon Slayer Corps not because he was the head of the Ubuyashiki family, but more because of his personal charisma.

The nine "pillars" present had all been saved or comforted by Kagaya Ubuyashiki in times of crisis, which is why they were willing to obey his orders.

Giyu Tomioka knelt down with Tanjiro not only because Giyu was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, but also because he had also received a favor from Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

In fact, Urokodaki Sakonji had already written a letter to Ubuyashiki Kagaya about Nezuko's situation.

It was precisely because of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's permission that Sakonji Urokodaki allowed Tanjiro to take Nezuko with him on the mission.

However, Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not tell the other unsuspecting "pillars" about this, which is why the Pillars and the meeting took place today.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just as the nine "Pillars" were kneeling on one knee to show their respect to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the mischievous Seimei Suzuki suddenly walked up behind the "Stone Pillars" and patted them on the shoulder one by one.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to the Nightmare of Sorrow Island. You are rewarded with a perfect-level copy of the Breath of Rock. You can claim it at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Tokito Muichiro. You are rewarded with a perfect-level copy of 'Breath of Mist'. You can claim it at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Rengoku Kyojuro. You are rewarded with a perfect-level 'Flame Breathing' manual, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Yin Hei Xiaobanai. You are rewarded with a perfect-level copy of 'Snake Breath'. You can claim it at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Shinazugawa Sanemi. You are rewarded with a perfect-level 'Wind Breathing' manual. You can claim it at any time."

Hearing the continuous system notifications ringing in his ears, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but break into a bright smile.

However, in Shinobu's eyes, the smile on Suzuki Seimei's face was clearly the smile of someone who had successfully pulled off a prank.

Noticing the slight twitching at the corners of the "Stone Pillar's" mouth, Shinobu Kocho quickly pulled Suzuki Seimei to her side and whispered a reprimand: "Seimei, you must not be rude in front of our lord!"

Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki turned to face Shinobu Kocho and asked with some curiosity, "Shinobu, what happened?"

Chapter 513 A Tragic Childhood

Shinobu Kocho said apologetically, "My lord, I am so sorry! I brought a child to the Pillars meeting without permission. He was just a little naughty and did not mean to disrespect you."

"A child?"

Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki became even more curious: "Shinobu, you're not the type to break rules, is there anything special about this child?"

"My lord, although Seimei is only seven years old, he already possesses strength comparable to a 'Pillar'. He also slew the Twelve Demon Moons on Mount Natagumo."

Shinobu Kocho replied with a serious expression, "I believe that Seimei will become an important asset in our fight against Muzan, so I would like to ask Lord Seimei to allow him to join the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"Seimei?"

When Kagaya Ubuyashiki heard the name "Seimei," his expression changed slightly, and he looked thoughtful.

If Kagaya Ubuyashiki is not mistaken, the "Seimei" mentioned by Shinobu Kocho should be the child who traveled with Tanjiro, as mentioned by "Demon Doctor" Tamayo in her letter.

In order to completely kill Muzan Kibutsuji, Tamayo had already formed a cooperative relationship with the Demon Slayer Corps.

It was precisely because of the protection of the Demon Slayer Corps that Tamayo was able to hide for so many years without being captured by Muzan Kibutsuji, and even had enough cannibals to use as test subjects.

Of course!

The cooperative relationship between Tamayo and the Demon Slayer Corps is a secret, known only to the successive heads of the Ubuyashiki family.

It is precisely because of Tamayo's special case that Kagaya Ubuyashiki was able to view Tanjiro's mission with Nezuko from an objective perspective.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Kagaya Ubuyashiki was about to agree to Shinobu Kocho's request, Haruaki Suzuki suddenly shouted, "When did I say I wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

“Seimei…”

Before Shinobu could finish speaking, Seimei Suzuki interrupted her: "Shinobu-neechan, I know you mean well, but I'm a wild person, and I can't stand the rules of your Demon Slayer Corps."

If I encountered those man-eating demons, I wouldn't mind slaying them, but I don't want to make demon-slaying my job.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's alright. As long as you are devoted to humanity, that's enough."

"My lord, please forgive my intrusion!"

Glancing at the wooden box Tanjiro was carrying, the Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa couldn't help but say, "Before this Pillars meeting begins, I think we should first put this demon-carrying member named Kamado Tanjiro on trial."

"That's true! I'm so sorry to have bothered you."

Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki said apologetically, "Tanjiro took Nezuko with him on the mission with my permission, and I hope everyone can accept their decision."

(??Д?′)!!

Apart from Giyu Tomioka, the other eight "Pillars" present were all stunned by these words, their faces filled with disbelief.

"I'm sorry, but even if it's my lord's request, I can't agree to it!"

The first to recover from the shock, "Iwa Pillar," clasped his hands together and, with tears in his eyes, refused Kagaya Ubuyashiki's request.

Since becoming a demon hunter, "Stone Pillar" has witnessed too many tragedies caused by cannibals, so he simply doesn't believe that humans and cannibals can coexist.

The Sound Pillar immediately objected, "I also strongly object! Demon Slayers who bring demons are simply hard to trust!"

"I am willing to follow my lord's wishes."

As Kagaya Ubuyashiki's number one fangirl, Kanroji Mitsuri naturally agreed with her lord's decision without hesitation.

"Xia Zhu" said expressionlessly, "I don't care. No matter which side I choose, I'll forget about it soon enough."

"..."

Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka chose to remain silent.

A "snake pillar" with a white snake coiled around its neck.

Touching the bandage wrapped around his mouth, he said with a face full of resentment, "I can't trust anyone! I can't trust anyone! I hate ghosts the most!"

The "Serpent Pillar" is named Yoonguro Obanai, and he was born into the Yoonguro family, which is located on Hachijojima Island.

The Yin family is a shameless family that makes money by murdering others.

More than three hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Yinhei family formed a cooperative relationship with a female evil spirit who was half human and half snake.

Those wealthy tourists who pass through Hachijojima Island are usually the targets of the Yinhei family.

The Yin family would use their feminine charms to lure tourists to their homes, where they would be fed to the snake demon, and then the tourists would divide up the money they left behind.

Perhaps because the Yinhei family had committed countless evil deeds, they were cursed by the tourists who died tragically. Since they joined forces with the snake demon to harm people, no male infants have been born in the family.

Yin Hei Xiao Banai is the only male infant born in the Yin Hei family in more than three hundred years, and he is a child born out of wedlock.

It was precisely because of Yin Hei Xiaoban's unique nature that he also aroused the interest of that snake demon.

In an attempt to curry favor with the snake demon, the rest of the Yinhei family offered the young Yinhei Kobanai as a sacrifice to the snake demon.

The snake demon did want to eat Yin Hei Xiaobanai, but felt that he was too young and didn't have enough meat, so he wanted to raise him a little bigger before eating him.

However, driven by her wicked sense of humor, she ordered the Yinhei family to cut open Yinhei Xiaobanai's cheeks, turning him into a snake-like shape and completely disfiguring him.

Thrown back into the cell, Yin Hei Xiaoban felt a strong will to survive. He used a hairpin he had stolen from his clansmen to begin chiseling at the wooden bars of the cell.

What he saw and heard that day made him completely lose trust in everyone else. Only a little white snake that had gotten lost and wandered into the prison became his only trustworthy companion.

Through her tireless efforts, Yin Hei Xiaobanai finally managed to escape, but was soon caught up by the snake demon who had come after hearing the news.

Just as Yoon Hei Obanai was about to be killed by the snake demon, the former "Flame Pillar" arrived in time, killed the snake demon, and saved him.

It was precisely because of her tragic childhood experiences that Obanai Yoon harbored a deep hatred for cannibals and could never accept Tanjiro, a companion with a demon.

"Flame Pillar" Kyojuro Rengoku declared loudly, "Although I sincerely respect my lord, I truly cannot understand your thoughts. Please forgive me for my strong opposition!"

The Purgatory family is a clan of demon hunters that has been passed down through generations. Over the past few centuries, many members of the Purgatory family have died in battles against cannibals.

Therefore, Kyojuro Rengoku and the cannibals can be said to be sworn enemies, and he also cannot accept Nezuko becoming his ally.

Chapter 514 Presumption of Innocence (If there is no evidence, then the person is innocent)

"The Demon Slayer Corps is all about annihilating demons!"

"Wind Pillar" Sanemi Shinazugawa's eyes turned red as he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I hope you will severely punish Kamado and Tomioka!"

In a way, Sanemi Shinazugawa's past experiences are essentially a replica of Tanjiro's.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was born into an ordinary city family. He was the eldest of seven siblings and grew up being beaten by his father.

After their wicked father was assassinated by their enemy, Sanemi Shinazugawa and his younger brother Genya Shinazugawa made a promise to protect their mother and their younger siblings together.

One night, when his mother had not returned home for a long time after going out, Sanemi was worried that his mother might be in danger. So he asked Genya to take care of his younger siblings and went out alone to look for his mother.
