Chapter 40

Pillars.

The pillars that support the Demon Slayer Corps, the nine swordsmen at the highest position.

To become a Pillar, one must kill more than fifty demons or kill the Twelve Kizuki alone. As long as one of these is achieved, they can be called a Pillar. The current nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyu, user of Water Breathing.

Insect Pillar, Kocho Shinobu, user of Insect Breathing.

Sound Pillar, Uzui Tengen, user of Sound Breathing. Wind Pillar, Fuzugawa Saneya, user of Wind Breathing.

Mist Pillar, Tokito Muichiro

, user of Mist Breathing. Flame Pillar, Rengoku Kyojuro, user of Flame Breathing.

Love Pillar, Kanroji Mitsuri, user of Love Breathing.

Rock Pillar, Hieishima Gyōmei, user of Rock Breathing.

Snake Pillar, Iguro Obanai, user of Snake Breathing

"What! They said they were members of the Demon Slayer Corps with demons, so I expected them to be stylish, but they turned out to be two little demons!"

The breeze blew the diamond chain on the forehead protector of Uzui Tengen, making a rustling sound.

Rengoku Kyojuro saw Lin Guang and said passionately:"Well! Lin Guang! I didn't expect you to join the Demon Slayer Corps, but I still can't forgive you for fighting with demons!"

Hearing this, Lin Guang knew that Rengoku Kyojuro was a little disappointed with him.

After all, when Lin Guang came to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters before, in addition to going to the Butterfly House, he went to Rengoku's house to find Rengoku Kyojuro to practice together.

Lin Guang said helplessly:"Brother Rengoku, since I dared to face the Twelve Demon Moons and even killed a lower-string demon, it means that I will not let go of any man-eating demon, but I let Nezuko go, which means there is a reason."

Rengoku Kyojuro still said loudly:"I see! I believe you! But the team rules cannot be violated, even if you killed a lower-string demon!"

Hearing this, Lin Guang smiled bitterly and said,"Okay, Brother Purgatory, let's wait for the lord to come out before we talk about this."

At this time, Kanroji Mitsuri walked up to Lin Guang, blushed and handed him a pack of cherry cakes, and asked,"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some cherry cakes?"

Looking at the cherry cakes handed over by Kanroji Mitsuri, Lin Guang took them with his tied hands and took a bite

"Delicious! Thank you for the cherry cake, Mitsuri! I am a little hungry after fighting all night."

Hearing Lin Guang's words, Kanroji Mitsuri's face turned red, and sweat kept pouring down her forehead.

"No, it’s okay! As long as you like it!"

Looking at Lin Guang eating all the cherry cakes bite by bite, Kanroji Mitsuri's face was filled with a happy smile, and her thoughts drifted away.

"When I first came to the Demon Slayer Corps, I met Lin Guang in the Rengoku family. He was the first person who didn't mind my hair color and even said it was beautiful. He even wanted to play arm wrestling with me, and he didn't mind me even after he lost to me. He also treated me to a lot of cherry cakes. After playing with him for a day, I found that I liked him."

"But when I wanted to tell him the next day, he left, leaving only a letter. When I learned that Lin Guang's grandfather was a trainer and he would join the Demon Slayer Corps in the future, I decided to join the Demon Slayer Corps for him."

"However, I almost gave up after not finding you for a year. Fortunately, you showed up today. No matter what decision you make, I will support you!"

Mitsuri looked at Lin Guang with sweet eyes.

Butterfly Shinobu saw the look in Mitsuri's eyes when she looked at Lin Guang, and her anger increased.

"Lin Guang, I didn't expect that you would provoke other girls before I saw you last time. You are really good!"

Although she was angry, Shinobu Kocho still kept smiling, but the look she gave Lin Guang made people feel a little cold.

Iguro Obanai, who had been secretly watching Mitsuri from the tree, felt a little jealous after seeing the relationship between Mitsuri and Lin Guang.

"Why is this man so close to Mitsuri? Does he like Mitsuri, too?"

The people from the Hidden Department have all seen Lin Guang at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, so they were not surprised that Lin Guang could talk to the Pillar like this. That's why Lin Guang's hands were tied in front of him instead of behind his back like Tanjiro. With the reminder from the Hidden Department, Tanjiro also knew what kind of existence these people were. After seeing Lin Guang communicating with the Pillar like this, he admired Lin Guang.

At this time, Kocho Shinobu looked at Lin Guang with a smile and said,"Before the trial begins, let me first explain the crimes you have committed."

"There is no need for trial! Harboring demons is clearly a violation of team rules! We alone are capable of handling it!" Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly, and one could still feel his passion in his words. Uzui

Tengen struck a gorgeous pose, looking down at Hayashi and Tanjiro, and said:"Those who harbor demons should be beheaded together with the demons! Then let me chop off their necks gorgeously! I will let their blood splatter everywhere more gorgeously than anyone else! It's already too gorgeous!"

Hearing what Rengoku Kyojuro and Uzui Tengen said, Mitsuri suddenly became nervous.

"How could Mr. Rengoku and Mr. Uzui do this? The lord said there would be a trial, so we have to wait for the lord to come out. If... if they want to take action, I will take Lin Guang away!"

"Ah! What a poor child! How pitiful! The fact that he was born is pitiful enough."

Beimingyu Xingmei said with tears in his eyes.

And Tokito Muichiro never looked at Lin Guang and Tanjiro, and stared at the sky from beginning to end.

At this time, Iguro Obanai, who had been lying on the tree, spoke

"Compared to that, how should Tomioka be dealt with? He wasn't even tied up, which makes my head hurt. According to Butterfly, Tomioka also violated the team rules."

"How should we punish him, how should we make him take responsibility? What kind of situation should we put him in? Tell me something, Tomioka."

Tomioka Giyuu was standing alone in the distance, and he didn't react even when Iguro Obana mentioned him.

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho said,"It doesn't matter, he came along obediently anyway, let's consider the punishment later."

Shinobu Kocho continued,"In comparison, I want to hear what they say. They are members of the Demon Slayer Corps, but they bring demons to participate in missions. I want to hear their explanation for this."

Shinobu Kocho said this, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Guang. It was clear that Shinobu Kocho wanted to hear what Lin Guang had to say. As for Tanjiro, it didn't matter.

However, Tanjiro Kamado came out and said,"That ghost is my sister. When I left home, my house was attacked and everyone died when I came back. Although my sister has become a ghost, she has never eaten anyone."

"Now and in the future, she will never hurt anyone!"

Iguro Obana pointed at Tanjiro and said coldly:"Don't say boring nonsense. After all, it is natural to protect your family. What you said is completely unbelievable. I won't believe it."

""Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter came, and the pillars looked over and saw that Lin Guang was actually laughing.

"Boring nonsense? It's really funny. You know nothing but you're talking nonsense here. If you want evidence, then I'll give you evidence!"
