"What's wrong?" Feeling the ground shake, then silence, and hearing unfamiliar narration from the projection, the blind Kagaya was full of confusion.
"Yes, Nara-san used special means to let us see some scenes from their world." Hearing Kagaya's question, Hinaki quickly explained.
"Is that so? Then, how is their world different from ours?" Hearing this, Kagaya became curious. How wonderful would a world without the threat of Demons be?
"Well, their world has many tall buildings. Transportation is via something called a car. There are airplanes that can easily cross mountains and rivers, several times faster than trains. Also, something called a mobile phone for instant communication. And the people seem to live peacefully and prosperously."
Hearing Kagaya's question, his other daughter, Ubuyashiki Kuina, answered. Because of the narration, she was also very clear about the names of things like cars, airplanes, and mobile phones.
"Is that so? I hope I can one day see these amazing things." Hearing his daughter's answer, Kagaya looked forward to seeing a scene of people living in peace and prosperity.
"Besides that, Nara-san's world is not absolutely peaceful either. There seems to be something called a magical beast that occasionally invades their world." Looking at the fierce battles in the beast wave, Hinaki also felt the terror of the magical beasts. Their pressure and abilities seemed even more terrifying than Demons.
"Is that so? Every world has its own troubles." Hearing this, Kagaya said with some emotion.
After about twenty minutes, seeing everyone had a basic understanding of his world, Takeru used magic to restore the large structure.
Seeing Takeru's ability to change the world with a wave of his hand, they no longer doubted his existence or power. And such power could probably easily kill everyone present.
"Takeru-san, I heard from Kanae and Shinobu that you wanted to discuss cooperation?" Sensing Takeru's even greater mystery and power, Kagaya decided to ask about the cooperation Takeru wanted to discuss.
"Something like that. Since our two worlds can be connected, it's a kind of fate. I want the power of your entire Demon Slayer Corps. Of course, I won't let you lose out." Hearing Kagaya's words, Takeru said casually.
Hearing Takeru's words, everyone was stunned. Takeru had just said he wanted the entire Demon Slayer Corps' power. Did that mean he wanted the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps to change?
Considering the power of Takeru's world, everyone held back. They were ready to see what Takeru would say next.
"Takeru-san, I don't quite understand your words just now. How about this: We'll postpone the Hashira Meeting for a moment. Takeru-san, this way, please." Hearing this, Kagaya spoke politely.
The others had no objections to Kagaya's words. They just waited respectfully there.
Soon, Takeru sat down face-to-face with Kagaya. Hinaki quickly served tea to both.
"Takeru-san, what did you mean by needing the power of the entire Demon Slayer Corps?" After taking a sip of tea, Kagaya Ubuyashiki spoke.
"Just the literal meaning. I want the Demon Slayer Corps to submit to me, to be at my disposal." Hearing Kagaya's words, Takeru said bluntly.
"So that's it. Then, may I ask what Takeru-san wants the Demon Slayer Corps to do? And although I am their leader, I can't make decisions for those children." Hearing this, Kagaya quickly spoke.
"You don't need to rush to refuse. Those who don't want to submit can leave on their own. As for what I want them to do, it's simple. Serve me, whether it's hunting monsters or helping me cultivate resources." Hearing this, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"Hunt monsters and cultivate resources? Then, what benefits can we get?" Sensing Takeru's unparalleled confidence, Kagaya vaguely felt Takeru had them over a barrel.
"Many benefits. Power, knowledge, resources, backing, and world peace." Hearing this, Takeru spoke seriously.
"Is that so? It's really hard to refuse. But can you elaborate?" Hearing Takeru's words, Kagaya couldn't help but feel his heart race. Still, he held back his excitement and continued.
"Power, as the name suggests, means giving you special abilities not found in this world. If I remember correctly, the strongest human in your world is Tsugikuni Yoriichi from the Warring States Period 400 years ago. The creator and user of the initial Sun Breathing, the one who once cornered Kibutsuji Muzan."
"But in my world, the number of people surpassing him already exceeds two dozen. And some of them took less than half a year to achieve that. Knowledge goes without saying. My world's technology is decades ahead of yours. The same goes for other fields. Agriculture has already freed people from hunger."
"Resources: as my subordinates, whether it's items to enhance themselves, healing potions, or even ordinary food, I can provide in large quantities. Backing: if you become my subordinates, then for problems you can't solve, I can have people assist you."
"Also, as the worlds connect, some rules of our world have already started affecting the surrounding worlds. Naturally, the unknown disaster of beast waves could also erupt in your world at any time. You should understand what I mean."
"Finally, regarding world peace: with enough power, you can naturally decide what the world looks like. As for the so-called Progenitor Demon, Kibutsuji Muzan, he can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist." Looking at Kagaya, Takeru laid out his assets. Hearing Takeru's words, Kagaya couldn't possibly remain unmoved.
"Well... I need to discuss this with everyone." Hearing Takeru's words, Kagaya realized the gravity of the situation. Besides, Takeru, who had come this time, was quite easy to talk to. A more barbaric world might have already started a war for conquest.
Kagaya wasn't stupid. He also knew about the greedy desires of humans.
In fact, many joined the Demon Slayer Corps to profit from it. Only those like the Hashira, and maybe no more than ten others, joined for noble ideals like protecting the world and humanity.
Kagaya had no great desire to keep the Demon Slayer Corps tightly in his grip. It was just that it was his primary means of fighting Muzan, forcing him to hold onto this last resort.
If, as Takeru said, he could end Muzan, he would be more than willing to bring the Ubuyashiki Family under Takeru.
But the Demon Slayer Corps was special. He couldn't make decisions for people like Kanae, Himejima Gyomei, Shinazugawa Sanemi, who trusted him so deeply.
"As you wish. But before we finish our conversation, let me give you a little gift." Hearing that Kagaya needed to discuss with everyone, Takeru wasn't surprised. He then spoke directly.
"Gift?" Hearing this, Kagaya was stunned.
Before he could think, he felt something acting on him. Like the warm sunshine shining on him, he felt his pain rapidly melting away like snow under the sun. Replaced by a long-lost feeling of ease.
In less than three minutes, he saw a glimmer of light in his pitch-black vision. Then, he saw some blurry shapes.
The sudden light made him uncomfortable, and he unconsciously closed his eyes. But his desire for light made him try to open them again.
After briefly adjusting to the light, he finally saw this beautiful world again. Looking at the smiling Takeru before him, he couldn't help but marvel at his exceptional good looks.
After all, good-looking people didn't need much explanation. The feeling of comfort just by looking at them was undeniable.
Kagaya felt that just seeing Takeru made him feel very comfortable and reliable. Confident, yet with a uniquely gentle aura.
"Takeru-san, I am deeply grateful for your great kindness. I, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, will never forget it." Recovering, Kagaya immediately performed a dogeza to Takeru.
"No problem. Get up first. I await the results of your discussion. I'll be at the Butterfly Mansion for half a day." Hearing his words, Takeru shook his head with a light laugh, then stood up and left.
