Night.

Inside Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s residence.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, lying on the tatami in the Japanese-style room and preparing to sleep, suddenly heard the sound of wings flapping outside the sliding door.

At this time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki could still see. He turned his head towards the door and asked,

“Is that a messenger?”

Click!

After Kagaya Ubuyashiki spoke, a large crow’s head pushed open the sliding door and poked in.

“It’s me, Master.”

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently.

“It seems something big has happened again, hasn’t it?”

Hearing this, the crow messenger’s head inexplicably showed a hint of a smile.

“Yes, Master. Just now, Linley Baruch rescued the Sound Hashira from Upper Rank Six in the Yoshiwara Pleasure District’s flower street, and then decapitated the two Upper Rank Six demons with a single sword!”

“Linley killed an Upper Rank!?”

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was shocked after hearing the Kasugai Crow messenger’s words. His gentle smile became a little more unrestrained.

“Hahahaha, good, good, good—cough cough cough!!!”

After a fit of excited coughing, he looked at his wife, who was gently patting his back, and said,

“Amane, please invite the arriving Hashira now. I want to share this good news with them and drink a toast with them!”

Hearing this, Amane Ubuyashiki smiled slightly. This time, she did not stop her husband’s actions, simply because the Demon Slayer Corps had finally seen a glimmer of hope in the millennium of mist.

“Yes.”

After responding, Amane Ubuyashiki stood up and left.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki gradually calmed down after his excitement. He looked at the messenger and said,

“Messenger, I’ll have to trouble you to make another trip. Go and tell this news to all members of the Demon Slayer Corps!”

“Master, it is my honor.”

In the agile eyes on either side of the crow messenger’s head, excitement and thrill flickered. After nodding, he flapped his wings and flew directly into the night sky.

Half an hour later.

Inside the Ubuyashiki estate’s main hall.

The seven Hashira present were all somewhat bewildered, looking at the seven long couches arranged in the hall, covered with exquisite food.

Their Master, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, was kneeling in the center of the head seat, smiling broadly at them.

Seeing this scene, the Hashira exchanged glances for a moment, then Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, who was at the forefront, clasped his hands together and stepped forward.

“Master, calling us so late and setting up such a lavish banquet, is there some joyous occasion?”

“Hahahaha! Gyomei-san is indeed sharp.”

Kagaya Ubuyashiki laughed, then raised a hand in a gesture of invitation.

“Gentlemen, please be seated first. We can eat and talk.”

“Yes, Master!”

Hearing this, the Hashira could only bow in agreement, then knelt on either side.

They were immensely curious at this moment. What joyous occasion could possibly make their usually calm Master so excited?

Kagaya Ubuyashiki saw that the seven Hashira were still looking at him intently after sitting down. He no longer kept them in suspense and said with a smile,

“Just half an hour ago, Linley Baruch rescued the Sound Hashira from Upper Rank Six in the Yoshiwara Pleasure District’s flower street and killed Upper Rank Six!”

Whoosh—

The Hashira immediately erupted in an uproar, and then excited discussions filled the entire hall.

Giyu Tomioka’s indifferent face showed a hint of shock: “Linley, it’s him again!”

Muichiro Tokito was expressionless: “Amazing, I really want to meet him.”

Sanemi Shinazugawa laughed loudly: “Hahahaha, damn it, what a formidable guy. I’m also getting impatient to test how strong he really is!”

Shinobu Kocho pursed her lips and chuckled: “Oh my, oh my, Linley Baruch? I still remember that little fellow. I didn’t expect him to hide so deeply. I’m becoming more and more curious about him.”

Obanai Iguro snorted coldly: “He just killed an Upper Rank Six. What kind of person he is remains unknown! Someone who is clearly so strong yet has hidden for so many years, what exactly does he want to do? It’s best for everyone to keep that in mind.”

Kyojuro Rengoku swallowed a tempura and shouted loudly: “Five ants! I believe in Linley!”

Gyomei Himejima clasped his hands together, and two tears flowed from his pale, blind eyes.

“Namu Amida Butsu! No matter what, any Demon Slayer who can kill an Upper Rank demon is our comrade. As for their character—”

At this point, the Stone Hashira paused, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“A young man who can say, ‘I won’t let the sun that has burned all night fall before dawn,’ I believe his character can’t be bad no matter what.”

Kyojuro Rengoku also smiled at this, giving a thumbs up and loudly agreeing:

“Gyomei-san is right!”

Obanai Iguro merely snorted lightly, but did not refute.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, sitting at the head seat, raised his hand to gently quiet them.

Seeing this, the Hashira also stopped their discussions and all looked at Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

“Gentlemen!”

Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s smile was gentle, with a hint of excitement.

“Gentlemen, this is the first time our Demon Slayer Corps has killed an Upper Rank demon in 113 years!”

“Unlike that time, this time Linley, the Love Hashira, and the Sound Hashira were all present, and there were no casualties. Our Demon Slayer Corps has obtained precise information on the Upper Ranks!”

“The Upper Rank demons will no longer be a mystery to us.”

“After fighting for a thousand years, until today, our Demon Slayer Corps has finally seen a glimmer of dawn!”

At this point, Kagaya Ubuyashiki raised his cup and smiled:

“Gentlemen, this cup is for Linley!”

The Hashira were also shaken by these words. They now understood why their Master was so excited today.

Immediately, the Hashira all raised the sake cups on their tables, smiling as they drank and declared:

“To Linley!”

At the same time.

As the Ubuyashiki messenger spread the news to various Kasugai Crows, Demon Slayers with Kasugai Crows in various regions received the message.

Kaigaku, who was currently heading towards Tokyo, was also among them.

After hearing the news from the Kasugai Crow, he froze in place, then his face contorted in rage.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

“How could that good-for-nothing Linley, who couldn’t even fully learn Thunder Breathing, kill an Upper Rank demon!?”

“How could that good-for-nothing, who chose to run away when he saw a low-level demon before, kill an Upper Rank demon? What kind of joke is this!?”

“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”

“I am the strongest Thunder Breathing user, I am the one who is supposed to inherit the Sound Hashira position!”

Unlike the enraged and distorted face of Kaigaku.

Zenitsu Agatsuma, currently recovering in the Butterfly Mansion, immediately bounced up and down on his sickbed, excitedly shouting to his two awakened companions:

“Hahahaha, Tanjiro, Inosuke, did you hear that!?”

“Linley! That’s my senior disciple brother!”

“I knew that such a gentle senior disciple brother could never be weak!”

“Sure enough, he was hiding his strength so that Kaigaku and I wouldn’t be too anxious? Sob, sob, was Senior Disciple Brother Linley hiding his strength all for us?”

Tanjiro and Inosuke were also incredibly shocked at this moment.

Although they didn’t know the exact difference between Upper Rank Six and Upper Rank Three, they had personally experienced the terror of an Upper Rank demon!

Even Flame Hashira-san wasn’t the opponent!

But Senior Disciple Brother Linley was able to kill such a terrifying opponent. His strength was self-evident.

“As expected of Senior Disciple Brother Linley!” Tanjiro exclaimed.

“Argh! I want Senior Disciple Brother Linley to teach me how to get stronger!” Inosuke roared.

Zenitsu proudly wiggled his butt, waving his arms and shouting along:

“Woohoo! My big brother is invincible!!!”
