Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Second Sun after the Nation

"Ah... this... Yang Hui, do you think I still have room to resist? I admit that I did reveal your identity, but how did you find out? You have to let me know until I die."

Ji Zhuyu looked at Ji Guoyanghui, who was sitting next to her. She couldn't see her expression clearly. She looked like a funny girl next door. All her pores shrank together in fear, screaming danger. She also understood that there was no way to hide any longer. After all, if she confessed, she would be treated leniently, and if she resisted, she would be treated severely. She could also get less beatings, right?

"Is it difficult? Based on my understanding of you, you must have already colluded with the lord about my identity. But before everything is confirmed, I shouldn't hit you with a hammer that can also sentence you to death. So I didn't say it so directly before. But the lord didn't feel curious about my hair color. Instead, he looked as if it was natural, or even ignored it. If it weren't for Xiao Huai's performance that day, based on my understanding of all this, I would have been fooled by Ubuyashiki."

Ji Guo Yanghui raised her head and revealed her expression. Unlike the smile she always wore in the past, she was as calm as a lake that had been frozen for thousands of years. She no longer had the warmth and gentleness of the past, which even made people begin to wonder if this person who was cold to the core could really have a warm appearance?

"Really? It seems that I am the one who held you back this time. However, you are exactly the same as what was recorded 500 years ago. I want to clarify this matter for Ji Jing. I discovered your peculiarity from the very beginning. What you encountered at the beginning was just my own thoughts. No one tipped me off."

After discovering that everything was exposed, Ubuyashiki Yoya knew that this matter should be able to be resolved in a decent manner. However, looking at Tsugakuin Yoki's attitude towards the loss, it seemed a bit confusing, so he finished some of the other party's previous questions as quickly as possible, and then calmed down, quietly watching Tsugakuin Yoki and waiting for the other party's next move.

"Normal. Although I was really killing like crazy at Fujikiyama at that time, after all, the Demon Slayer Corps had never seen my breathing method before. Besides, there were so many talented juniors. An unknown breathing method and a girl who came out of nowhere were not that dazzling."

After Jiguo Yanghui shrugged his shoulders and said these words without comment, the other two people present naturally knew how to deal with this matter, so they skipped this topic and returned to the handling of the Upper Three incident.

"My Lord, I really don't want to get involved in this matter. After all, compared to a leader like you, I like to joke around with others, which can easily lead others to misunderstand the information. Don't let the confidence be boosted, and then everyone will be blindly confident. If that happens, I might end up going to hell with those ghosts."

"Ji Jing, you are joking. The entire Demon Slayer Corps is well aware of your two strengths, so I think it is the best choice to let you step forward. After all, it is different from the direction set by our family. We also hope that the Demon Slayer Corps will have someone who can set a direction for all team members with force rather than intelligence. It is most appropriate to entrust this to you.

After all, now everyone only knows that Upper Rank Three is dead, but no one knows what happened that night. If you don't mind, I would like to share some of your credit this time and let Yanghui take over. This will build confidence for everyone and avoid the problems you are worried about. After all, as my children, I naturally believe that Tanjiro and the other four should keep their mouths shut. "

"Why do you have to involve me in this matter? I already owe this guy something. My lord, if you do this, won't you make me owe you even more?"

"How could that be? You two have always been good friends in private. If you really owe Ji Jing something, I think Yang Hui will pay it back soon. Besides, if you agree to this, I think what you owe Ji Jing will be paid back."

"Yes, Yang Hui, just agree to it. After all, we have grown up together, don't we owe each other enough? After all, I really don't want to be so prominent. If I do that, I will definitely be harassed to death by everyone."

"Given your personality, I believe you don't want to be in the spotlight. You should know it will be difficult, but you actually said so. Then I agree. Anyway, you haven't done anything wrong. Besides, even if you did something wrong, the lord will not let you do whatever you want."

"Then this matter is settled. Ji Jing, you guys go back and clean up. Next, I want to think about how the Demon Slayer Corps will develop. After all, we already have someone who can hunt down the waxing moon, and he is ranked third among demons. We also know the attack characteristics of the two upper moons. In addition, you are back too, so naturally we have to consider collecting all the information about them except the one upper moon.

Although I don't know if I can see Muzan being killed before I die, I actually met you and everyone, and the Jikoku clan is helping me. As a lord, I should learn to let go and fight more aggressively. At least before my son ascends the throne, I hope that among all the powerful demons, only Muzan will be left."

"Your wish will come true, but after the incident with the Third of the Lesser Strings is over, I will temporarily leave the Demon Slayer Corps. Ubuyashiki, you are a smart person. To be more precise, your entire family is very smart, so you should know what I want to do. Please help me take good care of Xiao Huai before I finish everything. Also, during that time, I don't want anyone to disturb me."

"Of course. I wish you a successful revenge."

"That's not revenge. To be precise, from my perspective, it's not revenge. It's my responsibility. The one who is truly successful in revenge is the one who put the responsibility on me."

Tsugumi Yoki looked at Ubuyashiki Yoya, and after he finished speaking about his ambitious ideas, his eyes revealed a firmness, and the corners of his mouth raised that smile again, but it was different from the gentleness of the past. At this time, the coldness around her had not yet dissipated, and the smile was more like the determination of a superior. While saying her blessings, she stood up and turned to leave, but Tsugumi Yoki did not expect Ubuyashiki Yoya to say such a sentence.

She turned her back to everyone, put away the smile on her face, and returned to her cold look, making it impossible for Ubuyashiki Yoya and Ji Takeyu to guess her mood at the moment.

After all, if you look at someone through the ice, you may be able to see their face clearly, but you definitely cannot see their heart, because that face will not have any expression and the heart, separated by two layers of unbreakable things, has become the place where all secrets are buried forever...
