By coincidence.
The Hashira had long heard of Kuzeha's name and were also looking forward to this meeting!
The Ubuyashiki family and the Yuuki Financial Group had been cooperating for over a hundred years.
The two forces had always maintained a mutually beneficial relationship.
The Yuuki Financial Group provided funding for the Demon Slayer Corps' operations.
Whether it was travel expenses for members going out to slay demons, materials and labor costs for forging swords, or compensation for the families of the dead and wounded.
All of these were the responsibility of the Yuuki Financial Group.
And the Demon Slayer Corps needed to provide protection with supernatural power for the Yuuki Financial Group!
At first glance, it seemed the Yuuki Financial Group was contributing more in this exchange.
However, it was quite the opposite!
In this world, without relying on supernatural forces, financial groups would find it difficult to operate.
Over the past hundred years, without the Demon Slayer Corps, the Yuuki Financial Group simply couldn't have continued to exist until now!
The cooperation between Kyouko Yuuki and Kagaya Ubuyashiki still continued their ancestors' model.
However, now when they met again, they could only look at each other in bewilderment!
Kagaya Ubuyashiki hadn't expected that Kyouko Yuuki would voluntarily give up her century-old family business.
The entire financial group was taken over by Kuzeha, and she was willing to serve as a subsidiary manager, subordinate to the Yukinoshita Financial Group!
Kyouko Yuuki likewise had never imagined that Kagaya Ubuyashiki would bring the entire Demon Slayer Corps to submit to Kuzeha!
Their cooperative relationship had ended.
Yet it continued on another level...
Kyouko Yuuki, this former noble lady, now willingly opened the door for Kuzeha and led everyone inside.
Besides himself, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also brought his wife Amane Ubuyashiki and son Kiriya Ubuyashiki.
This showed his complete sincerity!
Kanae Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji were not meeting Kuzeha for the first time.
Recalling the past and looking at the present, they couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation.
"..."
The two beautiful girls' cherry lips slightly parted.
Shyly greeting Kuzeha playfully in murmuring voices.
Mitsuri Kanroji slowly extended her pink tongue, then quickly retracted it, displaying pure energy and cuteness!
When they first met, she had almost mistaken Kuzeha for Muzan, causing a big misunderstanding.
But it was precisely that misunderstanding that made Mitsuri Kanroji attracted to Kuzeha.
"In the future, when we live together... no, when we work together, it's normal for sparks to fly, right?"
"Then swoosh swoosh swoosh, all sorts of heart-pounding things will happen!"
"In the end, I'll capture Lord Kuze's heart before anyone else!"
Mitsuri Kanroji held her flushed cheeks with both hands, hearts already appearing in her eyes.
It was perfectly normal for the Love Hashira to be full of romantic fantasies.
Kanae Kocho smiled sweetly at Kuzeha, her gentle eyes like spring breeze filled with affection!
Although she didn't express it aloud, everything was understood without words.
The scene fell into silence because the other Hashira were momentarily stunned.
Their expressions were grave, and they swallowed nervously!
Their right hands had unconsciously moved to their sword hilts!
Trembling with tension.
Obanai Iguro's vigilance was the most sensitive among the Hashira.
At this moment, his pupils trembled and his spine felt cold.
The white snake Kaburamaru around his neck instinctively bowed its head obediently!
When creatures face dangerous enemies, they immediately enter an attack stance.
But when facing opponents they clearly know they cannot defeat, they skip directly to the submission and begging for mercy stage!
After a moment, Gyomei Himejima clasped his palms together.
The sound of chanting sutras awakened everyone.
Tears fell.
Although the Stone Hashira could not see, he "saw" more clearly than anyone!
Such a young man...
Yet his swordsmanship had already reached perfection, his entire body radiating invisible sword intent!
This sword intent was infused with overwhelming presence and pressure!
There was no need to draw his sword—just the momentum in his intent could cut down enemies.
Shinobu Kocho understood this deeply.
If he were an ally, he would bring infinite sense of security.
But if regarded as an enemy, he would be thousands of times more terrifying than Muzan Kibutsuji!
All the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps present, even united together, had full confidence in fighting Muzan to the death.
But facing Kuzeha, just meeting those eyes made them break out in cold sweat and feel fearful!
Kyojuro Rengoku was the second to break the deadlock, laughing heartily.
"Hahaha, what a remarkable new master!"
"Mr. Kuze, I look forward to working under you!"
Everyone suddenly understood.
They immediately knelt on one knee in salute, declaring their loyalty to Kuzeha!
Since they had decided to follow him, Kuzeha naturally planned to show his appreciation and give them a greeting gift.
"Come, follow me to the dojo!"
The Yukinoshita Hotel was fully equipped with various facilities.
It was configured with an indoor swimming pool, arcade, bowling alley, movie theater, and many other entertainment venues for guests.
A kendo dojo was also built.
For safety reasons, it was equipped with wooden swords.
However, for Kuzeha, this was already sufficient.
The attributes Kuzeha obtained were absolutely perfect!
He had thus mastered breathing techniques superior to those of the Demon Slayer Corps.
All breathing techniques were derived from Sun Breathing.
Generation after generation of members, while adding their personal characteristics, inevitably mixed in some less refined insights.
