Akira Moriyama suddenly remembered something and looked at Ryosuke with a puzzled expression.
"When Obanai arrived, she said you were busy. What were you busy with?"
Ryosuke didn't even look up, just chuckled jokingly.
"Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs."
"Tch! So mysterious!"
Akira Moriyama pursed his lips and went to his room.
Only two people remained in the room. Obanai raised her heterochromatic eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"Mr. Ryosuke, you killed him?"
Ryosuke paused slightly as he applied the medicine, but did not deny it and nodded frankly.
He looked at Obanai: "Do you think I did something wrong?"
Little Banai shook her head.
Having grown up in a family like Ihei's, he knew very well that the human heart was uglier and more terrifying than evil spirits.
"He was vicious and betrayed his comrades in battle. He deserved to die. I just didn't expect you to do it yourself."
After all, the Demon Slayer Corps' swords have always been used only to slay evil demons.
“Some filth has to be cleaned up. If we let him live, he will eventually kill more good people like the Matsuda family, or even our own people.”
In order not to upset the old man Jigoro, Ryosuke had no choice but to kill Kaigaku ahead of time.
Besides, there's no use keeping this traitorous good-for-nothing around!
After treating Obanai's wound, Ryosuke changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, you just used your own breathing technique and sword stance?"
"Yes, the snake's breath is a derivative of the water breath. I'm still exploring some new ideas recently."
Little Banai nodded.
"Hmm, the sword techniques are unpredictable and tricky, very good."
Ryosuke nodded and said approvingly, "It suits you very well."
Little Banai shook her head.
"Compared to Mr. Ryosuke, he is still far behind."
Ryosuke rubbed his forehead, somewhat embarrassed.
He's cheating; he got all his sword designs from the system.
They are far inferior to geniuses like Obanai, who truly created their own breathing techniques and sword forms.
After the mission was over, Ryosuke did not linger.
He left the follow-up matters to Yin Lai, then parted ways with Obanai and embarked on his journey home.
Ryosuke brings up the system interface and infuses 10 years of his lifespan into the Fourth Form: Far Thunder.
[10-year lifespan infusion in progress... Remaining lifespan points: 5 years 70 days.]
[Thunder Breathing - Fourth Form - Far Thunder has been upgraded to its ultimate state!]
[Unlock Advanced Form: Far-Reaching Thunder - Mighty Force!]
Liang Jie thought about the name, his eyes gleaming.
Unlike the halberd's ranged attacks and Flash's mid-range burst dash.
Wan Jun increased the range and damage of the distant lightning strike.
When unleashed, lightning bursts outwards from Ryosuke's center, covering an extremely wide area—a deadly battlefield technique!
Just as Ryosuke was thinking of returning to Momoyama to put more pressure on Uzui Tengen, a hummingbird swooped down and landed on his shoulder.
"Gah! Ryosuke Yasui, Naruhashi! The lord summons you! Please proceed to the Ubuyashiki residence immediately! Gah!"
Ryosuke composed himself, somewhat surprised.
Why is Kagaya in such a hurry?
Without much thought, he immediately changed direction.
Passing through the quiet courtyard, I saw Kagaya sitting upright in the Japanese-style room, with books in front of him.
"My lord." Ryosuke bowed.
"Mr. Ryosuke."
Yaozai slightly raised his hand in greeting.
Ryosuke looked up, but a chill ran through him.
Kagaya's face was still pale, but upon closer inspection, the purple scar on his forehead had spread a bit more than when they last met, and had already reached the upper edge of his brow bone.
"The main reason I summoned you here is to hear about the specifics of the Shirakawa-go mission in person."
Ryosuke nodded and gave a brief report on the encounter with the Lower Moon Six Rokuro and Kaigaku's betrayal.
Of course, he concealed the fact that he had taken care of Kaigaku, claiming that he had died at the hands of an evil spirit.
Yaozai didn't delve into it further and nodded slightly.
"With a single move, Mr. Ryosuke has become much stronger, having defeated Lower Moon Six."
Yaozai paused, his tone becoming more serious.
"Since you were promoted to the Sound Pillar, your prowess has been at its peak. You have killed several Lower Moons and even severely injured Upper Moon Two, Doma. Given Muzan's temperament, he has probably already remembered you. Please be careful when carrying out missions in the future."
Chapter 98: Want to stretch your muscles again?
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, my lord."
After helping the scumbag boss lay off employees one after another, I'm afraid those Lower Moons will be under pressure from Muzan again.
However, as long as Lei is still alive, the Lower Moon will not disband.
At the same time, for Muzan, training a Lower Moon was not a difficult task.
Ryosuke looked at the scar on Kagaya's forehead and couldn't help but say something.
Please take good care of yourself.
Upon hearing this, Yaozai revealed a calm smile.
"It's alright, I can still manage for now. It's just that the curse is getting deeper every day, and sometimes I can't see clearly. I'm afraid that in a few years, these eyes will be completely blind."
Yaozai's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
The only way to break the curse of the Ubuyashiki family is to kill the scumbag boss Muzan.
However, the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't have many high-level fighters these days, and their chances of winning against the Upper Moons are almost slim.
Obanai, Sanemi, and others still need time to grow.
“Mr. Ryosuke, if you have nothing else to do, would you like to take a walk with me in the yard?” Kagaya suddenly suggested.
Ryosuke stood up and carefully helped Kagaya up.
The two walked slowly along the garden path, surrounded by tranquility, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo grove.
As they walked, Yaozai suddenly spoke, as if talking to himself.
“My father was in poor health when I was young, and I knew very early on that I would one day have to take over this heavy responsibility.”
"While other children are still playing, I have to learn how to manage a large family, how to get along with the Pillars, how to weigh the pros and cons, and how to make the decisions that are most beneficial to the overall goal of exorcising demons..."
"Sometimes, I feel tired and scared."
Ryosuke listened quietly without interrupting.
What Kagaya needs now is not a sycophantic courtier, but someone to listen to.
"Death is not terrible, and the pain brought by the curse is not unbearable."
Yaozai stopped and looked up at the blue sky.
"I'm just worried that I haven't done enough, that I won't be able to lead everyone to the end, and that I'll be forgotten by future generations..."
Ultimately, Kagaya was just an ordinary person being pushed along by fate.
He also feels fear, dread, and the dread of death.
Ryosuke took a deep breath: "No, it won't happen."
Kagaya tilted his head slightly, somewhat puzzled: "Hmm? What do you mean, Mr. Ryosuke, you don't know?"
Ryosuke looked at him and said, word by word.
“We will not lose. I will cut off Muzan’s head and end the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan.”
Kagaya was stunned, then a relaxed smile spread across his face.
"That's why I care about you so much, Mr. Ryosuke."
Ryosuke was even more confused.
What you said!
People who don't know better might think I was sexually harassed...
Tsk, are we getting a little ambiguous?
Yaozai explained with a smile.
“Mr. Ryosuke always says things that sound arrogant and unbelievable to others, like unattainable grand pronouncements.”
"But strangely enough, you are so certain, and you always manage to achieve them one by one."
“I don’t dislike this trait; on the contrary, I find it very reliable.”
Ryosuke smiled and touched his nose.
"Then let's just consider it a boast. But the moment the boast comes true, no one will think it's a boast anymore."
