Demon Slayer: The Forest Pillar

"I seem to be very rich all of a sudden..."

Shinichi felt a little dizzy when he walked out of Moriki's mansion, because Rukawa Chinana had prepared a lot of money for him, so much money that he couldn't count it, and even had more than a dozen gold coins.

In Rukawa Chinana's words, there will definitely be many difficulties when carrying out the ghost hunting mission, and it is necessary to prepare more "hundreds" of money.

Although the Demon Slayer Corps is also not short of money, Shinichi can't refuse Rukawa Chinana's kindness, so he can only accept it. But Shinichi can also say to others in a very relaxed tone in the future, I don't like money, money is just a number to me...

As a pillar who is about to be promoted, Shinichi can't stay in Moriki's mansion for a few more days when the Demon Slayer Corps is extremely short of pillar-level swordsmen. Of course, old man Moriki can understand it, and smiles to let Shinichi rest assured and perform his duties as a pillar well.

Shinichi once again bid farewell to the old man and Rukawa Chinana, and under the guidance of Eizo, he embarked on the road to return to the Demon Slayer Corps.

Two days passed quickly.

In the mountains, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, in the Ubuyashiki mansion.

Ubuyashiki Amane, wearing a purple kimono, gently poured a cup of hot tea for her husband, Ubuyashiki Yoya.

At this time, Amane's beautiful face was a little pale, and Yoya naturally saw it. He patted Amane's hand with some heartache and said gently: "Amane, you need to rest now, and the children don't want their mother to be exhausted."

Seeing her husband caring about her, Amane smiled from the bottom of her heart, "No, it's just a little thing. Yoya, the burden on you is countless times heavier than mine, please don't stop me from doing what I can for you."

Such a loving couple would be very touching to outsiders.

Soon, the crow with a purple scarf landed in front of Yaoya nimbly, and said calmly in a low voice: "My lord, the first-class swordsman Moriki Shinichi has returned to the team." Yaoya smiled happily, "Great, the team of the pillars has grown again." After returning to the Demon Slayer Corps, Shinichi clearly felt the change in the eyes around him. The passing Demon Slayers looked at him with a little more respect, not the kind of respect for the superiors, but the respect for the title of "pillar" that Shinichi was about to bear. It should be that the news that Shinichi was going to be promoted to the pillar had spread in the headquarters, and everyone didn't want to delay Shinichi's time, so no one took the initiative to greet Shinichi along the way, but more nodded or bowed slightly. In this way, it saved Shinichi's effort, so Shinichi soon came to the Ubuyashiki mansion, and outside the mansion, Shinichi's "old acquaintance" Flame Pillar-Rengoku Makijuro was waiting for him outside the door early. Watching Shinichi walk in front of him, Makijuro showed a look of emotion on his face, then stretched out his broad palm and patted Shinichi's shoulder vigorously, without saying much, just said: "Good job."

Makijuro took Shinichi's Nichirin Sword, did not say what to do, Shinichi did not ask, he believed that Makijuro could not covet his Nichirin Sword, right?

Following Makijuro into the Ubuyashiki residence, as expected, the other two pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps had been waiting here for a long time, two tall figures stood straight like Optimus Prime.

Rock Pillar - Gyoumei of Sadness Island, Sound Pillar - Tengen of Uzui, and the thin black-haired boy standing in front of the two pillars, supported by a beautiful woman like a fairy, Yoya kept a gentle smile and kept watching Shinichi.

Shinichi knew the woman next to Lord Yoya. She was Lord Yoya's wife, Lady Amane, a descendant of the priest family. However, Shinichi had only met her a few times a year ago. Later, he heard that Lady Amane retired because of her pregnancy. Now it seems that Lord Yoya should have an heir.

Speaking of this, Shinichi did not envy the lords of the same age. Instead, he felt slightly that the Ubuyashiki clan was fighting against the tragic fate. It was really not easy.

Shinichi and Makijuro walked to the side of Gyoumei and Uzui Tengen. Then, under the leadership of Makijuro, they all squatted down and saluted on one knee, saying: "Lord."

"Please stand up. Today is really a good day. Mr. Rengoku, Gyoumei and Tengen, I believe you should have received the news a long time ago. From today, our Demon Slayer Corps has another pillar." Yoya said gently and looked at Shinichi.

After several of the pillars stood up, Yoya, accompanied by Tianyin, walked in front of Shinichi.

Shinichi looked at the lord in front of him who was about the same age as him, and his mind was a little dazed. In just one year, the purple ulcer on Yoya's forehead expanded from the size of a little finger to the size of a cherry.The curse of the Ubuyashiki family is really terrible.

Yoya took a brand new Demon Slayer Corps uniform from his wife Amane, held it in front of Shinichi with both hands, and said to Shinichi with encouragement in his tone: "Shinichi, from today on, you are the 'Mori Pillar' of the Demon Slayer Corps. Please lead other swordsmen bravely to eliminate more evil spirits. Please."

Shinichi took the uniform. It was obviously a light uniform, but Shinichi felt heavy in his hands. He nodded solemnly and replied: "My lord, please rest assured, I will never live up to the name of 'Mori Pillar', and I will definitely kill all the evil spirits with the Sun Wheel Sword in my hand!"

Take off the old uniform, Shinichi put on the new uniform representing the Pillar, and the buttons in front of him also changed from ordinary silver to shining gold.

At the same time, Shinichi's Nichirin Sword that was taken away by Makijuro appeared in the hands of his lord Yoya at some point. Yoya held the heavy Nichirin Sword with a little effort, but still insisted on pulling it out.

The blade of the emerald green and red intertwined blade was extremely dazzling in the sun.

"Speaking of which, this is also a little selfish of mine. In the Demon Slayer Corps, there is actually a tradition that only a pillar-level swordsman can engrave words on the blade of the Nichirin Sword.

But Shinichi, when you just joined the Demon Slayer Corps, I privately contacted the masters of the swordsmith village and engraved these two words on your blade on my own initiative. Please forgive my rudeness, but I am too looking forward to you growing into a qualified pillar soon." Yoya's face showed a trace of apology.

Shinichi was stunned. He didn't know about this, but Shinichi was not angry at all. Just as Yoya said, he was looking forward to the Demon Slayer Corps having one more pillar, or in Yoya's heart, Shinichi could have become a pillar a long time ago.

Shinichi took the two-color Nichirin sword with the words "森" and "滅" engraved on it with one hand, and in a moment of excitement, he blurted out: "Yoya, thank you, I won't let you down."

Hearing Shinichi's words, Makijuro immediately coughed and reminded him lightly: "Shinichi, you can't call the lord by his name, it's too rude."

Yoya himself didn't care about these at all, but Shinichi's tone like a friend made him feel very comfortable.

Took the Nichirin sword, sheathed it, inserted it into the belt around his waist, and put on the green haori. Shinichi raised his head, and his pink and green eyes stood firmly with the three pillars around him.

Demon Slayer Corps - Mori Pillar - Moriki Shinichi!
