"Let's go."
Sam Miller, leading Kanao Tsuyuri out, saw that everyone was paying attention to him, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and spoke naturally.
Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho hadn't come here specifically to find him if there was nothing to discuss, presumably about the last proposal.
It seems that now the master, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, intends to cooperate with him.
That's right, after all, for thousands of years, the Demon Slayer Corps has never stopped trying to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji, but unfortunately, none have been able to pose a real deadly threat to him.
The only chance to possibly kill Muzan was probably during the Sengoku period, with the appearance of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
However, such a genius as Yoriichi only appears once in a thousand years. It is obviously impossible to expect another talented and powerful swordsman like him to be born soon.
For years, although Muzan has been cautious and lurked in the dark, the demons he created have caused serious disasters, especially the Twelve Kizuki, which have inflicted great damage on the Demon Slayer Corps.
It can be said that in recent years, against the Twelve Kizuki, the Demon Slayer Corps has been at a disadvantage.
As the master, Kagaya Ubuyashiki is actively seeking opportunities to change the situation.
Undoubtedly, with the appearance of Sam, he faintly saw a glimmer of opportunity.
After all, this is the first time in thousands of years that a demon is willing to cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps, and it is also the first case in thousands of years that a demon is willing to fight against Muzan.
"Okay," Kanae nodded.
...
Mount Natagumo
The place where the Water Pillar, Sakonji Urokodaki, used to train his disciples.
A house built under a mountain.
In the room, a charcoal fire lingered, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Now, Sam Miller, Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, and Sakonji Urokodaki sat facing each other.
As for Kanao Tsuyuri, Sam arranged for her to stay outside the door.
Keeping Kanao company were Giyu Tomioka and Tsutako Tomioka.
At the door, wearing a fox mask to ward off disasters, a boy with flesh-colored mid-length hair stood on the left.
Wearing a fox mask with flower patterns on her cheeks, a mysterious girl with black mid-length hair stood on the right.
...
Inside the room, Kanae handed a letter to Urokodaki.
It was a letter from Kagaya Ubuyashiki about Sam's situation.
Last time, after Kanae returned to headquarters, she immediately reported the situation to the leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya is a leader with both charisma and a broad heart. After learning about Sam's situation, he immediately decided to cooperate.
After all, this is the first demon willing to deal with Muzan in thousands of years. Even if he can't deal with Muzan in the end, it is still a very important attempt.
Of course, in cooperating with demons, the defense against them cannot be relaxed at all. Ubuyashiki firmly reminded Kanae of this, no matter what, to never forget.
Demons are demons, after all.
"I really didn't expect that the Demon Slayer Corps would cooperate with a demon one day," Urokodaki looked at Sam, especially at the two horns on Sam's head.
Because the people in the room had already seen through his identity, Sam naturally didn't need to wear a bamboo hat.
"Perhaps you will be thankful for working with me," Sam smiled, looking at the Water Pillar, Urokodaki. He admired this old man very much.
Shinobu glanced at him. "You demon are not strong, but your mouth is quite bold."
For Sam, Shinobu was very impressed. In the few days she got along with Sam, she didn't know how many times she was teased by him.
Sam's golden eyes also fell on Shinobu. Looking at the girl with short hair, he couldn't help admiring: "Miss Shinobu, it seems you have grown taller!"
"Ah! Really?" Shinobu couldn't help standing up happily. She had always been troubled by her lack of height. Compared to her tall sister, she always looked short.
It bothered her a lot.
Now, Sam suddenly said she had grown taller, and she felt happy all of a sudden.
However, seeing everyone paying attention to her, Shinobu couldn't help but blush, realizing she had overreacted just now.
Feeling so embarrassed.
"It's all because of this demon," she hastily sat down again and gave Sam a 'fierce' look with her beautiful purple eyes. She didn't know what power this demon's words had, but they easily stirred her emotions every time.
Sam didn't care either, but shrugged his shoulders and started talking to Kanae about cooperating with the Demon Slayer Corps.
The Water Pillar, Urokodaki, was watching from the side. Seeing the appearance of a man and a demon chatting happily made him feel a little uncomfortable.
If it weren't clear that Sam was a demon, if ordinary people saw Sam and Kanae almost head to head, discussing things constantly, they might think they were a couple.
"Is... is he really a demon?" Urokodaki looked at the young man and couldn't help but feel that he didn't see what a demon should look like from this one.
