Chapter 111 Kagaya Ubuyashiki's Expectations
The meeting continued until evening.
After it ended, the Pillars hurriedly left.
They had to patrol their assigned areas, rescue team members in danger, deal with demons that ordinary team members couldn't handle, and gather intelligence—they had a lot to do.
Although their work had become much easier thanks to Aoki, they still didn't have time to leisurely play outside.
Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
The lights flickered, and shadows danced.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was sitting in the living room.
Despite having been in meetings all day, he was in good spirits.
"I remember not long ago, I asked Mr. Aomura, and the answer was still no. I didn't expect Mr. Aomura to overcome sunlight so quickly."
"Just lucky!" Aoki said.
This wasn't modesty.
First, Gyutaro had a brain fart and delivered himself to their doorstep, and then his luck was off the charts when he ran into Hantengu.
If it weren't for the help of Gyutaro and Hantengu, they would still be a long way from accumulating enough skill points to learn level 6 "Demon Blood."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki sighed, "When I first received the information from Mr. Aomura, I had a premonition that he would be the key to defeating Muzan Kibutsuji.
But I never imagined this day would come so soon!"
His illness was already very serious.
Even if he could defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, he wouldn't have much time left.
However, his child was still young and hadn't yet been affected by the curse.
Defeating Muzan Kibutsuji meant that his child, his child's child, and all his descendants could be freed from the curse and live healthy lives.
Thinking of this future, even with his calm demeanor, his body trembled slightly.
A thousand years of waiting had finally brought hope.
It had been too long!
Aoki said sincerely, "Without the help of the Ubuyashiki family head and the Demon Slayer Corps, I wouldn't have reached this point so quickly."
After level 12, experience gains are significantly reduced.
His rapid advancement to near-max level was largely thanks to Ubuyashiki Kagaya and Muzan Kibutsuji.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya stopped flattering him, saying seriously, "I'll arrange the traps immediately, but to meet Mr. Aomura's requirements, we'll have to wait a while longer."
"That's alright, no rush, a few more days won't make a difference."
"The appearance of the Blue Spider Lily needs Mr. Aomura's personal confirmation."
"Okay!"
Ubuyashiki Kagaya breathed a sigh of relief: "There's one more thing, Mr. Aomura, do you want to continue killing demons?"
"Continue!"
Aoki replied without hesitation.
He had to consider the possibility of his plan failing.
Or rather, things were almost impossible to go exactly as planned.
It wasn't impossible that Muzan Kibutsuji would personally intervene after receiving news of the Blue Spider Lily.
Continuing to kill demons and accumulate experience, even if ultimately not needed, would increase the margin for error.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya was about to say something more when his face suddenly flushed red, and he covered his mouth with his hand.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
He coughed violently, and specks of blood appeared on his palms.
Ubuyashiki Amane immediately came over, carrying a basin of hot water, followed by Ubuyashiki Kagaya's two children, each carrying a towel and a cup.
After a long while, Ubuyashiki Kagaya finally calmed down and smiled weakly, "I'm sorry to have made Aomura-san laugh."
His face looked extremely tired.
He had been able to hold on until now because he saw the opportunity to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji and fulfill their clan's thousand-year dream, and his spirits were somewhat high.
After calming down, his body immediately couldn't hold on any longer.
"Principal Ubuyashiki, please don't mind."
Aoki shook his head and pondered for a moment, "I know a very good doctor. If Principal Ubuyashiki doesn't mind, I can bring her to examine you tomorrow."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya asked, "Is it Miss Tamayo?"
"That's right!"
Aoki nodded, not surprised that he had guessed.
The other members of the Demon Slayer Corps, including the Pillars, knew nothing about Miss Tamayo, but Ubuyashiki Kagaya knew of her existence.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Aomura."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya did not refuse.
He was not afraid of death, but he would not refuse if he could live a little longer.
As for the fact that the doctor was a demon... he had already let Mr. Aomura stay in his house, how could he care about such a trivial matter?
Aoki stood up: "Then I will take my leave. Please take care of your health, Head of the Ubuyashiki family. The day to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji is just around the corner. Doesn't the Head of the Ubuyashiki family want to witness this day in person?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Aomura."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya's tone was still gentle: "I am unwell and cannot personally see Mr. Aomura off."
"It's alright."
Aoki nodded slightly to Madam Amane again, and his figure disappeared directly from the room.
"Cough cough cough!"
Ubuyashiki Kagaya coughed violently again, and soon there were more spots of crimson blood on his palm.
Ubuyashiki Amane gently patted his back, her face full of worry.
However, Ubuyashiki Kagaya didn't care about his injuries and grabbed Amane's hand: "Amane, I feel it, I feel it, we're so close to defeating Muzan Kibutsuji! In our generation, we will definitely end this curse that has lasted for thousands of years!"
Ubuyashiki Amane nodded gently: "Cooperating with Mr. Aomura was truly the right choice."
...
After bidding farewell to Ubuyashiki Kagaya's family, Aoki didn't return to his room but used "space teleportation" to arrive at the Butterfly Mansion.
As soon as he appeared, a petite figure rushed in front of him.
"Mr. Aomura, are we really going to take action against Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Shinobu Kochō looked at Aoki with burning eyes.
"Don't rush, we still need to wait a while. The preparations haven't even started yet!" Aoki walked around her and went inside.
Kanae Kochō and Kanroji Mitsuri were also there.
Shinobu caught up with Aoki, looking anxious and uncertain: "Will we succeed?"
"Man proposes, God disposes,"
Aoki said. "All we can do is keep increasing our chances of victory, but I can't guarantee we'll definitely kill Muzan Kibutsuji!"
Shinobu glared at him: "I mean, how confident are we?"
Aoki smiled: "Not bad!"
Even if the monster-slaying plan completely failed, as long as Tamayo's poison didn't cause any problems, he was confident that with his current strength, he had over a 90% chance of winning against Muzan Kibutsuji.
The remaining 10% was for the unforeseen circumstances.
Shinobu held her breath.
The demons were too strong.
The Demon Slayer Corps, fighting desperately, could only barely contend with them.
Not to mention ordinary members, even the Pillars were dying at an alarming rate.
A year ago, they were barely surviving.
In the blink of an eye, they were about to launch a war against Muzan Kibutsuji.
She felt a strong sense of unreality.
Kanae looked at Aoki, her eyes full of gentle smiles.
She too was filled with emotion.
In less than a year, Mr. Aomura completely changed the dynamics between humans and demons.
