From then on, there were no more evil spirits in the world.

Swordsmith Village, temporary headquarters.

In this room filled with tatami mats, folding screens, and bonsai, many people were gathered at the moment.

All nine current pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps were present and had knelt down on both sides, swords hanging from their bodies, bowing slightly toward Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who sat in front of the screen in the main seat.

By Ubuyashiki Kagaya's side were Ubuyashiki Amane and a pair of children. He appeared as a great lord enjoying his later years, no longer in need of assistance, no longer coughing violently, and even his previously disfigured features seemed to be gradually healing. He no longer looked as fierce and terrifying as before.

This made the pillars overwhelmingly joyful, to the point where some even wept with happiness.

"Congratulations, my lord!"

"Lord, your illness has finally healed!"

"It is... really wonderful..."

The pillars expressed their joy one after another.
