Such a familiar situation! I was like this back then!

"Alright, Kyojuro, let's go. We can't keep the lord waiting!"

"it is good!"

The members of Hidden have been waiting for a long time.

In recent days, Yin has received many important people.

The former Sound Pillar, the former Water Pillar, these veterans who became trainers after retiring are all on the list.

"Master Flame Pillar, my name is Kondo, please follow me. Everyone is here, and I'm waiting for you."

Kondo said respectfully.

"Understood!"

When Makijuro heard this, a look of guilt appeared on his face!

I am ashamed to have kept you waiting for so long.

The crow's journey back and forth delayed them a lot of time.

"Kyojuro! Here's another thing I want to teach you!"

"I'm listening, Father."

"Don't keep my lord waiting!"

"understand!"

Looking at this pair of similar father and son, Kondo couldn't help but sigh.

"so similar!"

……

Makijuro did not let Kondo lead the way. He picked up Kyojuro, performed breathing techniques, and quickly rushed towards the destination.

For him, this is faster.

After a few breaths, he arrived at the courtyard where the meeting was held.

It was a familiar courtyard, and there were indeed quite a few people gathered inside.

There are also many acquaintances of Makijuro.

"Mr. Urokodaki, Mr. Kuwashima, they are here too!"

Seeing a familiar face, Makijuro couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Father? Are they?"

Kyojuro did not know the two people that Makijuro mentioned.

"They are my predecessors, and they became pillars before me."

"I was very young at that time and was often taken care of by them!"

"They are the few strong men who have successfully retired!"

"Mr. Urokodaki is the former Water Pillar, and Mr. Kuwashima is the former Sound Pillar!"

Hearing the two people's introduction, Kyojuro's eyes were full of admiration.

“He is such a legendary figure!”

"It's so great to meet such a legendary figure in person!"

Kyojuro realized that the people before him were all important people, so he began to observe them carefully.

Most of them are middle-aged trainers, and there are only a few younger swordsmen here.

Suddenly, his attention shifted to the two people next to Mr. Urokotaki!

One stood on the left and one on the right side of Mr. Urokodaki.

One of the girls had dark green hair and looked shorter than him. She looked at Mr. Urokotaki with a resentful expression.

Mr. Urokodaki looked as if he was on edge, and from time to time he poked the boy next to him with his arm, as if asking him to help him out.

The boy standing next to him didn't seem to pay any attention. He looked up at the sky and whistled.

The meticulous Kyojuro also discovered something strange.

The attention of everyone present was focused on the boy.

They all showed great curiosity about the boy.

These trainers who have trained countless swordsmen would whisper with their old friends from time to time.

Kyojuro's hearing wasn't that sharp, so he only caught fragments of the words.

"Is this the child who... committed suicide...?"

"That's right! It's really... a new... year!"

"I wish my good-for-nothing child had this ability!"

“Hmph,… this guy Sakonji has… found a treasure!”

"This is not like finding a treasure! This is... like finding a god!"

Kyojuro was immediately confused.

"Are all these old veterans who have seen the world? Why are they all like this?"

He turned to his father and asked:

"Father, who is the boy next to Mr. Urokodaki? And that girl?"

My father has been the Flame Pillar for so long, he should be able to give me the answer.

But Makijuro looked mysterious and kept it a secret:

"You'll find out later!"

Wait, I'll know?

Could it be that the other party was also specially allowed to come to the headquarters like himself?

The headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps is not accessible to ordinary people!

Ah!

That should be the case. Mr. Urokodaki is the former Water Pillar, so bringing two of his favorite disciples shouldn't be a big problem. After all, today is an important day!

Kyojuro quickly came up with an answer that convinced himself.

You can't say that these two kids who are not much older than you are the pillars!

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Standing next to Mr. Urokodaki, if he were a pillar, he would definitely be a water pillar.

And his father personally admitted that he was defeated by the water column. He should be a strong man in his 20s, how could he be a child!

He was very satisfied with the conclusion he came to and he couldn't be wrong!

The water column is so powerful, it must be hidden in the crowd!

I'll look for it again!

Makijuro found his son's gaze very funny and thought to himself:

"Is this guy thinking of something weird? Never mind, let him see what it means to be better than others!"

He led Kyojuro forward and introduced his son to everyone around him.

"This is Kyojuro, my son. Please take care of him."

Everyone looked at Makijuro in surprise, not because he brought his own son to the meeting, but because of the tone of his voice, as if he was entrusting his son to someone else.

Mr. Urokodaki took this opportunity to escape from the resentful Makomo, walked up to Makijuro, and asked:

"Have you considered?"

"Well, I've made up my mind! The future of the Demon Slayer Corps still has to be handed over to them! I should also..."

Makijuro didn't say anything else, and everyone understood what he meant.

Zhen Gu returned to Zhou Yi, took his arm, and smiled again.

"Junior brother, what does the Flame Pillar mean by this? Why don't I understand?"

After a long separation, Zhou Yi touched Zhen Gu's soft hair and began to explain:

"Sister, do you know the five basic breathing techniques?"

"Of course, isn't this the most basic knowledge!" Zhen Gu was a little surprised. He didn't know that his junior brother started talking about this.

"Each breathing method has a corresponding pillar, and the Breathing of Flame is the corresponding Flame Pillar."

"Since ancient times, the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps has always come from the Rengoku family!"

This is the first time that Zhen Gu has heard of such a thing!

"They are all from the Purgatory family! This is too..."

I really don’t know how to describe it for a moment!

"That's amazing, isn't it?" Zhou Yi knew what Zhen Gu meant.

Correct!

It’s just so amazing!

Shinkomo nodded in agreement.

"What does the Flame Pillar mean?"

"He should be preparing to step down as the Flame Pillar and train more swordsmen instead!"

Zhou Yi gave his own guess. After all, most of the pillars who successfully retired became trainers.

Their master, Urokodaki Sakonji, and another retired Sound Pillar, Mr. Kuwashima, are good examples.

"Mr. Makijuro is only in his early 30s. Isn't it too early?" Makomo still felt a little regretful.

"Makijuro's condition has declined due to injuries when he was young. Retiring now may be a good thing for him."

There is another half to what Zhou Yi said.

Makijuro's wife Rengoku Ruka has always been in poor health, so I'm afraid he wants to spend more time with her!

Makijuro, who was in the crowd, came to Zhou Yi and said to him solemnly:

"I am not running away, but I have chosen another battlefield to fight for the future of the Demon Slayer Corps. I hope you can understand."

Zhou Yi and Makijuro bumped fists and said with a smile:

"I understand, Uncle Makijuro!"

"This is your son, right? I will take good care of him!"

There will never be a situation where he has to fight against the Upper Ranks alone again!

Zhou Yi said silently in his heart.

"I can rest assured that!"

Makijuro also smiled. He felt relieved to get Zhou Yi's assurance and understanding!

Kyojuro, who was standing nearby, saw it all.

Why does my father value this child who is only a few years older than me so much?

Even explain it to him specifically?

Could it be?

A guess came into his mind!

pat!

The long-closed shoji door was pushed open.

"You guys have been waiting for a long time!"
