Chapter 511 The Gathering of People Again
Chapter 511 The Gathering of People Again
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this guy has completely become a winner in life.
Yuko and Shinobu couldn't help but feel gratified.
But if I had to say something, I'd still feel a little disappointed.
After all, Tanjiro, Kanao, Inosuke, and Aoi Kanzaki all had their help in devising strategies.
Zenitsu and Nezuko's relationship deepened almost without their knowledge, making Ikuko feel less involved.
Kanzaki Aoi chuckled at this.
I think Nezuko and Zenitsu are really lucky to avoid being tormented by these idiots.
God knows what she's been through.
A solemn and sacred wedding ceremony.
"So, in other words, Sanemi never actually gave out that bouquet of flowers?" Dressed in a formal suit, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was waiting for the proceedings, was chatting with his Demon Slayer Corps members, something he hadn't done in a long time.
Beside him was his wife, Ubuyashiki Amane, who had shared his hardships.
Two years have passed, and the head of the Demon Slayer Corps has never been troubled by the curse again. Every night he can sleep peacefully in his wife's arms.
His interactions with others were devoid of any arrogance befitting a person in a superior position, and were filled with gentleness.
However, the only thing that hasn't changed is his several children who are as exquisite as dolls.
They were greeting Yuko at that moment.
"Hello, Ms. Yuko."
Meeting the children's empty eyes, Yu Zi sweated profusely: "Hello, hello."
Although it's not very polite to say it like that, she's always felt that these kids are more eerie than ghosts, and they give off a slightly creepy vibe.
Today, Yuko was wearing a light pink kimono adorned with cherry blossom patterns, which made the freckles on her face appear less jarring, giving her a pure and innocent look.
At Shinobu Kocho's insistence, her hair had to be white, as dark red hair didn't match as well as white.
Despite Yuuko's attempt to refuse by saying, "Today is a sacred wedding, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to dress up as a ghost?", Shinobu Kocho countered with, "You don't need to dress up as a ghost, Yuuko is already one, isn't she?" "If you really want to say something, Yuuko, it would be better if you didn't show up today, wouldn't it?" "There seem to be leftovers at home, Yuuko, please make do with this today."
In other words, the relationship between the two is now extraordinary. If anyone else had said this, Yu Zi would have slapped them twice.
Do you even know how to speak properly?
But Yuko was also quite happy.
Regardless of the circumstances, holding a wedding at a shrine is a sacred ceremony.
Another person might not understand her identity; they might see it as something unclean, a bad omen.
Ghosts, regardless of the country, seem to symbolize something bad.
Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's question, Ikuko grasped at a lifeline and quickly stepped out from the children's circle to take over the conversation.
"Yes, Kanae said that she actually saw the bouquet that Shinazugawa always wore on his lower back."
"I thought it was something I was saving for her at a crucial moment."
"Unexpectedly, even after the two parted ways, Shinazugawa never gave away the bouquet of flowers he had tucked into his waistband."
Uzui Tengen squinted and said, "What the hell is that? It's so stupid!"
Two years have passed, and Uzui Tengen is living a life that even the gods would envy.
To his surprise, this time when they met, the blond brat didn't bother to come up and fight him anymore. Instead, he smiled and nodded at him from afar.
This made Uzui Tengen wonder if the guy was possessed by a ghost.
Yuko chuckled and said, "Yeah, when we parted, Kanae was hesitant about whether to remind him, but he just walked around the corner and disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Uzui Tengen nodded silently: "He's probably overjoyed."
Yuko thought that made sense too. She guessed that as soon as she was out of Kanae's sight, she couldn't hold back her excitement and her heart soared into outer space.
In fact, according to Genya later, that was exactly the case.
After returning home, Sanemi was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Mu Xu held Yu Sui Tianyuan's hand: "That really is stupid. If it were me, I would probably be furious."
Suma nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right!"
Yuko glanced at the two of them, looked around, and asked curiously, "Where's Hinatsuru? Why didn't she come?"
"Well..." Uzui Tengen scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Hinatsuru is pregnant, and the doctor said it's not advisable for her to travel far, so I can only bring her some gifts when I go back."
Yuko exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Why didn't you mention this before?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki followed closely behind: "Tengen, it's really too much that even I didn't know~"
Uzui Tengen quickly waved his hand: "Actually, it's something that happened recently. I originally wanted to share some good news with everyone, but since it's Shinazugawa's wedding today, I thought I'd come over and explain."
"Speaking of which, it's really a good deal for that idiot," Obanai Iguro said calmly. "To think that Kanae would take a liking to him."
Uzui Tengen nodded silently: "That's right, to be able to marry the most beautiful woman in the Demon Slayer Corps is just incredibly lucky."
According to what Yu Zi just said, how could an idiot who didn't even send flowers still have a marriage partner? Isn't that just incredibly lucky?
Compared to Shinobu Kocho, who is also a Pillar but is shorter and has a worse temper, the gentle and virtuous Kanae is the ideal type in the hearts of many members. The title of the Demon Slayer Corps' number one beauty is definitely not something that Tengen Uzui made up.
Therefore, there were quite a few heartbroken people at the scene today, who will probably just wait for the ceremony to be over before drowning their sorrows in alcohol at the banquet.
Yuko looked at Kanroji Mitsuri, who was clinging to Iguro Obanai, and her lips twitched slightly: "You have no right to say that, okay?"
"It's a miracle that anyone likes any of you idiots, not one of you."
None of the Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps are easy to deal with.
“That’s right, that’s right.” Kanroji Mitsuri affectionately hugged Iguro Obanai’s hand and nodded repeatedly.
Iguro Koba's eyes shifted slightly as she glanced at her.
Kanroji Mitsuri quickly changed her tune: "Except for Mr. Iguro!"
"Oh! Tanjiro! You're so tall!"
A commotion arose from beside me.
"So cool! Tanjiro!"
"No, nothing like that." Tanjiro, dressed in a formal suit, blushed and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Haha, Tanjiro is too modest."
Uzui Tengen glanced at him, then arrogantly tossed his hair: "Well, although he's still far inferior to me, he can still be considered a handsome guy."
Yu Zi nodded: "You're still so shameless, which is actually quite reassuring."
Yuko also spotted Inosuke and Zenitsu next to Tanjiro. They'd grown considerably taller, but...
That idiot was wearing a suit and still had a wild boar head mask on.
Yu Zi wasn't unaware of the significance of this hood to him, but wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter, this guy's true appearance is rarely seen.
Yuzui Tengen's face darkened: "Likewise."
You have such a sharp tongue!
A dark, crawling figure reached Tanjiro's feet.
Tanjiro, who was chatting with the others, felt a movement beneath him and instinctively looked down.
"Your...knife..."
What came into view was a pervert wearing a fire mask and exuding a dark aura.
"Eek!" Tanjiro was startled and stumbled backward.
After he came to his senses, he couldn't help but complain, "Mr. Steelzuka, don't do this every time you appear!"
"It's terrifying, okay!"
"You brat! I already said you won't need that sword after you retire, so why can't you give it to me?!" Haganezuka grabbed Tanjiro by the collar and muttered to himself.
“That was a gift from Miss Yuko, how could I just give it away to anyone?”
"Once it's given to you, it's yours. Is there a problem if you give it to someone else?"
The two's argument attracted everyone's attention, but they quickly looked away.
Well, these two are a typical pair of bickering lovers; they never meet without exchanging a few words.
Some people were amused and enjoyed the scene with smiles.
Watching Hotaru Haganezuka arguing with Tanjiro, Tengen Uzui asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what have the people of the Swordsmith Village been doing since the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded?"
Unlike the Hidden Members, whose members come from all over the world, the Sword Forging Village is a village where swords have been forged for generations. It's impossible that the village would disband along with the Demon Slayer Corps.
"In the sword-forging village, things are still the same as before, with blacksmiths making a living," Kagaya Ubuyashiki explained with a smile. "However, they don't forge swords, but rather some iron farm tools."
"The Ubuyashiki family helps with the orders, and the goods are shipped to various places for sale, so there's no need to worry about survival."
Everyone nodded slightly. As expected of our lord, he was indeed very thoughtful.
At this moment, Kanroji Mitsuri, who had been paying attention to Ikuko's hair color, couldn't help but say:
"You're so beautiful, Sister Yuzi."
Yuko paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you."
Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes lit up: "Long white hair paired with a pink kimono, you're not here today to steal Kanae's thunder, are you?"
"Long white hair? Is it that rare?" Uzui Tengen ran his fingertips through his long white hair, tilting his head back with a smug look on his face.
After all, compared to someone who dyes their hair using improper methods, his hair color is natural.
Yu Zi's lips twitched, ignoring this arrogant guy: "Then you'll have to find Ren, that's what she asked for."
Speaking of Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri Kanroji looked around curiously and asked, "Speaking of which, why are you alone, Yuuko-nee? Where are Shinobu and the others?"
“Of course, I help Kanae get dressed up inside the house,” Yuko shrugged. “I only started working as a hostess because I couldn’t stand the tedious process.”
The scene was so elaborate that even ghosts would shake their heads.
She didn't know the specifics of what was happening at Shinazugawa, but seeing Kanae sitting there being manipulated for quite some time, and before even half of the process was over, Yuko quickly made an excuse to come out for some fresh air.
"Wow, where is it? I want to go too!" Kanroji Mitsuri exclaimed excitedly as she let go of Iguro Obanai.
The bride! Getting dressed!
"Look, go this way, the first one at the back is it." Yu Zi didn't know what the child was so excited about, so she just pointed her in the right direction.
"Wuhu~"
Then, the child threw aside Obanai Iguro and excitedly ran towards the back of the shrine.
Uzui Tengen patted Obanai Iguro's shoulder with a serious expression, and Obanai Iguro looked up in confusion.
“They were abandoned, how pitiful.” Uzui Tengen shook his head, his tone full of pity.
"Nonsense." Obanai Iguro slapped his hand away expressionlessly.
Ignoring their antics, Yuko turned to Kagaya Ubuyashiki and asked, "Would you like me to take you to the lounge?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki gently shook his head, looking at everyone in the courtyard with a smile on his face.
"It's really lively. It's been a long time since the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded that everyone has gathered together like this."
Yuko waved her hand: "It's okay, we can all be invited when Iguro and Kanroji get married."
Obanai Iguro looked at him with a deep gaze, but the image was already beginning to appear in his mind.
It really is……
"Really good, right?" Uzui Tengen had somehow gotten close again, putting his arm around his shoulder and looking at him with a subtle expression.
Obanai Iguro grasped Tengen Uzui's hand without changing her expression.
"Ok?"
With an over-the-shoulder throw, Uzui Tengen was almost thrown to the ground, but fortunately he adjusted his landing posture in time.
Uzui Tengen's clothes weren't even dirty, and he proudly raised his head: "Heh, trying to ambush me? Don't forget I'm a legendary ninja!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled as he watched the two of them joking around, and responded with a few words.
"makes sense."
Yuko nodded and counted on her fingers: "And Inosuke and Himawari, Nezuko and Zenitsu, Tanjiro and Kanao."
Uzui Tengen's eyes widened as he leaned closer to stare at Yuuko's fingers: "Eh? Really? Those idiots?"
Yuko gave him a strange look: "Really? They're all excellent kids, that's normal, right?"
“Excellent? Is that normal?” Yuzui Tengen suspected that this woman was targeting him.
Those three idiots are only good at fighting; when it comes to wooing girls, they're nothing special.
No, no, no, I should say, was any of those three guys even human in real life?
Yu Zi frowned: "Don't let your personal emotions get in the way."
Uzui Tengen almost vomited blood.
Ubuyashiki Amane smiled and shook her head, saying, "Even if we go back to our own lives, I'm sure a single letter will bring us all back together."
Yuko: "Yes, that's beyond doubt."
"How are Miss Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro doing lately?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked with concern.
"Still the same as always, living an enviable secluded life in Asakusa." When Tamayo was mentioned, Ikuko's face unconsciously lit up with a smile. "After all these years, this idiot has finally moved on from the past."
"It wasn't for nothing that I said so much."
As for the claim that he killed so many people and needs to atone for his sins...
Yu Zi generously said, "It's okay. You live first, and I'll have my brother pay it off for you down there. You can pay off the rest after you die."
Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki laughed and said, "If we're talking about idiots, isn't Ms. Ikuko one too?"
Yu Zi paused, looked at her dangerously, and said in a low voice, "You're an idiot too."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded generously: "Yeah, I'm an idiot too."
"Evened out."
