"H-Hello, everyone~"
In the sunlight, the girl smiled sweetly and greeted the dumbfounded Demon Slayer Corps Pillars politely.
The large courtyard fell into a deathly silence at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time.
Whoosh~
The Pillars' shocked and astonished clamor rose.
"W-W-What exactly is going on? This little girl actually… actually…"
The flamboyant Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui's eyes widened, his face filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
"Unbelievable! She's clearly a demon… why can she…?"
Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa shook his head repeatedly.
At the previous Pillar Meeting, he had advocated for Nezuko's execution.
"Didn't you hear? Tanjiro said it, thanks to Luo Lin, Nezuko has recovered!"
Inosuke added.
"Tanjiro, this, this, this…"
Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka stared blankly, turning his head to look at Tanjiro.
Memories of that day involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
He had received intelligence about a demon eating humans and encountered Tanjiro, who was being chased by Nezuko.
He, who should have immediately cut down Nezuko, who had turned into a demon, was ultimately moved by the siblings' bond.
After that, Nezuko fell into a deep sleep, and Tanjiro, introduced by him, went to train with the former Water Pillar.
At the previous Pillar Meeting, it was also through his and the former Water Pillar's efforts that Nezuko was given a glimmer of hope.
Although he believed Nezuko would not become their enemy, Giyu Tomioka did not hold much hope for Tanjiro's wish to turn Nezuko back into a human.
After all, someone who had once turned into a demon recovering was simply unheard of, it had never happened before.
If anyone could truly do such a thing, it could only be a god!!!
Now… a miracle truly appeared!!!
"Oh wow, that's great, Nezuko-chan~"
Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji moved gracefully, embracing Nezuko and affectionately cuddling her.
"That's really wonderful, Nezuko-chan. By the way, who is this child here? So cute too~"
Mitsuri Kanroji casually pulled Kanna, who was standing nearby, and began to affectionately cuddle her.
"Mmm."
Kanna maintained a perpetually blank expression.
She didn't dislike Mitsuri Kanroji's closeness.
"Rengoku, what exactly is going on? Can you explain?"
Stone Pillar Gyomei Himejima recovered from his shock and asked solemnly.
"Mmm."
Kyojuro Rengoku nodded.
"I'm sure you all know that a few days ago, during the Infinite Train incident, Upper Moon Three Akaza appeared and died!"
"Ah, the leader mentioned it in his letter, well done!"
All the Pillars nodded.
"No!"
Kyojuro Rengoku shook his head.
"What you know is only a very small part. I'm ashamed to say that the one who defeated Upper Moon Three Akaza was not me. Although I gave my all, I was still insufficient and nearly died at Akaza's hands. The one who truly defeated Akaza was someone else!"
"Could it be…"
"Is it this man?"
Tengen Uzui, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Giyu Tomioka, Obanai Iguro, and the others' gazes simultaneously fixed on Luo Lin.
"That's right! The one who truly defeated Upper Moon Three Akaza was Kanna-chan!"
Kyojuro Rengoku pointed to the adorable little girl Kanna, who was being held in the arms of Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji.
As his words fell.
The large courtyard fell silent once again.
Muichiro Tokito, Gyomei Himejima, Tengen Uzui, and the other Pillars' gazes mechanically shifted.
Finally, they settled on the delicate and lovely little loli in Mitsuri Kanroji's arms.
Such a delicate and adorable little girl defeated Upper Moon Three Akaza?
You must know, that was an Upper Moon!!!
For hundreds of years, they, the Demon Slayer Corps, had never defeated such a terrifying existence.
Just now, Kyojuro Rengoku himself said that even with his full power, he couldn't defeat Upper Moon Three.
No!
Let alone defeat him!
He himself nearly died at his opponent's hands.
This shows how terrifying Upper Moon Three Akaza truly was.
However…
Such a powerful Upper Moon demon.
Was said to have been defeated by a little girl?
This, this, this… How could such a thing be possible?!!!
