This is roughly the situation in the Infinite Castle.

On Hori Gaku's side, Shinobu Kocho and Iguro Obanai, who came to support the Demon Slayer Corps, also arrived.

When Shinobu Kocho and Iguro Obanai saw the scene of Hori Gaku with half of his body covered in blood, they were shocked!

It was generally recognized that Hori Gaku is now the strongest fighter in their Demon Slayer Corps, so what kind of enemy could have hurt Hori Gaku like this! ?

Faced with the two companions who came to support, Hori Gaku welcomed them.

In response to the two people's doubts, Hori Gaku said that it was the Lower Rank Three's Bone Leaf who almost caused the Kusatsu riot. That guy was not bad, but he had already been killed by Mitsuri. The one who just fought with me and made such a big noise was the Upper Rank One's Kokushibo. His strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

"What!? The Upper One Kokushibo!?"

Hearing that it was him, Kocho and Iguro Obanai were shocked.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet him here. This is what happened.……"

So and so, so and so.

Hori Gaku told the two the whole cause and effect of the matter, from the encounter with those children in Kusatsu last night to the injuries he had just suffered in the fight with Kokushibo.

Shinobu Kocho and Iguro Obanai were still frightened after hearing this.

Hori Gaku and Mitsuri just came to Kusatsu to relax and rest, but they encountered so many things.

If Hori Gaku had not acted decisively to stop it, once the plague broke out, it would spread across the country through the flow of people in Kusatsu, then the consequence...

Shinobu Kocho and Iguro Obanai thought about it and couldn't help but feel cold all over.

If that were the case, the situation would be too bad!

Fortunately, Hori Gaku stopped it in time!

Thinking of this, the kind-hearted Shinobu Kocho also sincerely thanked and praised Hori Gaku:

"Horitake-san, you acted just in time. You saved so many people! You prevented a terrible disaster!"

Iguro Xiaoba praised Horitake with lingering fear in her heart:

"As expected of you, you are a pillar of heaven. You are able to adapt to changing circumstances and make decisions promptly. If it weren't for you, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Yes, yes, it was only Hori Gaku-san. If it was anyone else, they would not be able to respond as promptly and handle it as perfectly as Hori Gaku-san."

Although Shinobu Kocho's words were suspected of flattery, it was not an exaggeration at all.

It was Hori Gaku who had the spiritual vision plug-in, which allowed him to search and scan and eliminate the source of the plague in time. If it was anyone else, they would not be able to do this.

Hori Gaku was very pleased with Shinobu Kocho's smiley praise:

"Hahaha, Shinobu-sister, you are too kind. I just happened to be here at the right time. As the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, I can't just stand by and watch."

At this time, a voice sounded behind Horitake:

"Eh? Is this the Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu-sama and the Snake Pillar Iguro Kobanai-sama?"

Hearing this voice, Hori Gaku widened his eyes and said in his heart,"

Oh no! I ignored this matter!"

Hori Gaku quickly turned around, looked at Mitsuri behind him, and then looked at Kocho Shinobu beside him."

Oh no!"

Mitsuri stepped forward and greeted the two pillars:

"Hello, I’m Mitsuri Kanroji, the stepson of Lord Rengoku Kyojuro! Please give me your guidance!"

Of course, Shinobu Kocho and Iguro Obanai had to return the greeting, and the greetings were completed.

Horitake was standing nearby at this time, feeling uncomfortable all over.

This... the relationship between the four of them now seems a bit complicated.

Mitsuri and I are currently in a relationship. Shinobu

Kocho and I haven’t reached a relationship yet, but we are moving towards that relationship.

So, the relationship between Mitsuri and Shinobu is... a quasi-rival relationship?

Of course, the best case scenario is not a quasi-rival relationship, but a family relationship of good sisters in the future.

And Mitsuri and Iguro Obanai, in the original work, are a CP relationship, of course now they are just acquaintances.

That is to say, I and Iguro Obanai are also a rival in love! It doesn’t seem to be.

Anyway, the relationship between the four people is... The relationship between them is really a bit complicated and a bit confusing.

Hori Gaku had a hunch that because of the arrival of these two, he might encounter some bad situations later.

For a moment, Hori Gaku felt a little resentful towards Yoya.

My Lord, my Lord, why did you send these two to support me? You can't see that I have been living a comfortable life recently and want to add challenges to my life?

Yoya said that there is a reason why I sent these two to support you.

Shinobu Kocho is the head of Kochoya, and she is a medical expert of the Demon Slayer Corps. It is normal to send her to support the plague, right?

As for Iguro Obanai, it was because he happened to be free and was closest to Kusatsu, so of course he had to be given priority to support.

So , Yaoya said, Hori Gaku, don’t blame me for my poor coordination, it’s purely your fault, and the current chaotic relationship is entirely your own fault!

Hori Gaku was also tired.

He no longer tried to sort out the relationship between the four people. He only needed to confirm two things.

First, keep Iguro Obanai and Mitsuri away from each other to prevent them from developing feelings like in the original book.

Although Mitsuri is already his girlfriend and will not change her mind, if Iguro Obanai has a crush on my woman, the follow-up will be very troublesome.

Right, as the old saying goes, you don’t have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it.

No! Thieves can’t steal and can’t think about it! In short, guarding against Iguro Obanai is the same as guarding against thieves, and there will be no problem!

Second, control The relationship between the ninja sister and Mitsuri!

The formal meeting of the two girls is inevitable. What Hori Gaku has to do now is to control their relationship. Even if they don't like each other, at least they can't fight! At least the superficial harmony needs to be maintained.

And he has to appease the two girls as much as possible. His fickleness is exposed, but the favorability of the two girls cannot drop too much. He needs to do his best to remedy it.

Thinking of this, Hori Gaku felt tired.

Alas... I am tired. I just worked all night to fight with Kokushibo, but I am not so tired.

Hori Gaku thought of a lot in an instant, and began to maintain the relationship between the four people quietly.

At this time, Mitsuri and the two pillars had finished greeting each other, and Iguro Obanai said to Mitsuri:

"I've heard that the Flame Pillar has a stepson who is very powerful. It should be Miss Kanroji, right?"

Without waiting for Mitsuri to say anything, Horitake took the initiative to introduce her and boasted:

"Yes, it is Mitsuri! Mitsuri is very powerful. Didn’t I just say that we had to split up into two groups last night? Mitsuri was the one who held back the Lower Moon Three’s Bleeding Leaf alone, and in the end, she killed Bleeding Leaf alone!"

Iguro Obanai nodded:

"It’s really not easy."

Hori continued to boast:

"Moreover, Mitsuri has killed many demons before. After I go back this time, I plan to recommend Mitsuri to be promoted to the Pillar. I estimate that Mitsuri will become a Pillar soon."

Iguro Obanai nodded and said nothing more.

In his opinion, this girl who seemed to have a complicated relationship with Hori Gaku, who had good strength and merits, would have no problem becoming a Pillar.

Hori Gaku carefully observed Iguro Obanai's eyes and found that his eyes were clear and he had no thoughts that he shouldn't have, so he breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as Hori Gaku relaxed, he raised his breath again!

Because Hori Gaku saw that Kocho Shinobu smiled and asked Mitsuri:

""Eh? Is that so? But, Miss Kanroji is the stepson of the Flame Pillar, so why is she by Horitake-san's side?"

This was a sharp comment, pointing directly to the issue that Shinobu Kocho was concerned about.
