Chapter 99

"A powerful evil ghost that is not one of the Twelve Demon Moons? I have never heard of it before." Under the clean eaves, the lord Ubuyashiki Yoya and Shinichi sat together.

One by one, the illusory green branches merged into Yoya's body, and the majestic vitality was constantly infused into Yoya's increasingly weak body.

Forest Breathing·Nine Type·Endless Life!

This is also Shinichi's insistence. Although the Forest Breathing cannot resist the erosion of the lord's curse, it can finally relieve the lord's physical pain and make the lord relax for a few days.

It was also at this time that Shinichi reported his encounter with the martial ghost to the lord in detail, and also said that the ghost might know the ancestor of the Moriki family, Moriki Shunichi.

"Is that so? According to your description, Shinichi, this ghost who suddenly appeared doesn't seem to be the same evil ghost as Muzan's, the ancestor of the Moriki family? I will pay attention to the records of the Ubuyashiki family to find relevant information. In addition, Shinichi, you can also try to ask Mr. Moriki Mitsuyo, maybe you will get more." Lord Yaoya suggested.

Shinichi also nodded in approval, he did plan to ask the old man.

"Speaking of which, Shinichi, what do you think of the two newly promoted pillars? I want to hear your opinion on Kanae and Giyuu." The lord suddenly asked.

Shinichi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he answered affirmatively: "It's very suitable. Both Kanae and Tomioka Giyuu have the potential to become pillars. It's natural for them to become pillars."

The lord nodded, and then said with emotion: "Kanae is a very gentle swordsman, whether to other team members or those evil ghosts. I heard that Kanae has always wanted to be friends with ghosts. However, I'm afraid Kanae doesn't know that her wish has already been realized, right?"

As he said, the lord looked at Shinichi with a smile, and Shinichi also moved his eyes away unnaturally. After all, his identity is very sensitive. But even if Shinichi himself is a ghost, Shinichi does not agree with Kanae's proposition. In Shinichi's view, he has never regarded ghosts as the same kind, and the best way to deal with ghosts is to send them to hell.

"Maybe, but Kanae's Flower Breathing is indeed very good." Shinichi said casually.

After talking about Kanae, the lord continued, "And Giyuu, I heard that he had challenged you many times before he became a pillar. It can be said that you, Shinichi, have also watched Giyuu grow up, right?"

This time Shinichi nodded seriously, "Indeed, Tomioka Giyuu has an extraordinary talent for water breathing, just as Mr. Urokodaki said, but before that, he seemed to be unaware that his brilliance was more like that of the boy named Santo.

It is undeniable that Santo is also an excellent swordsman with superb talent, but if I really think, Tomioka Giyuu is more talented. I believe that in the near future, he will definitely be able to breathe water at a higher level than the current level. Achieve higher achievements."

Lord Yaoya looked at Shinichi with some surprise. He didn't expect Shinichi to give such a high evaluation of Giyuu. "Is that so? However, Giyuu seems to have always misunderstood you. Don't you plan to explain to him?"

Shinichi smiled indifferently, and then said: "There is nothing to explain. Everything is what I should do. Two equally outstanding geniuses should not bury each other. One needs to show his edge, and the other needs to be clean. Blind protection and blind heroism are not desirable."

From the conversation between the lord and Shinichi, everyone should be able to guess that Shinichi deceived Giyuu, or Shinichi deceived all the swordsmen in the final selection.

Satsuma was not eliminated. Not long after Satsuma left Fujikiyama, Shinichi urgently wrote a letter to the headquarters and the former water pillar Mr. Urokodaki Sakonji where Sagariyama was located, detailing his arrangements.

In fact, Shinichi admires the brave and responsible Santo, but he does not approve of Santo's blind heroism, even though Santo's original intention is good.

But letting those swordsmen who are not qualified to pass the final selection join the Demon Slayer Corps is not only irresponsible to the Demon Slayer Corps, but also irresponsible to the lives of those swordsmen, so Shinichi pointed this out very bluntly.

However, this is not a big shortcoming, and Santo's brilliance will not be overshadowed by these shortcomings.

On the surface, Shinichi eliminated Santo, but this is just to make those who passed the test because of Santo feel more sense of crisis in their hearts, and to prevent them from getting used to relying on the blessing of the strong in the future, but to work hard to improve their own strength.

As for Santo, Shinichi secretly invited him to join the Demon Slayer Corps in person, but he needed to hide his identity and wait for the right opportunity to show up again.Therefore, while Tomioka Giyuu regretted that his friend Sato was not selected, Sato had actually put on the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps, and also took over the Nichirin Sword, and killed demons in the dark.

However, Sato, who always wore a mask and hid her face under the hood, was not recognized by anyone. The powerful Sato was just a taciturn and mysterious Class A swordsman in the legend of the Demon Slayer Corps.

In fact, Sato had met Tomioka Giyuu many times in the Demon Slayer Corps, but Sato, who always remembered Shinichi's words, did not choose to recognize Giyuu, but watched Giyuu grow up quietly in secret.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, the first person to figure out Sato's identity might be the cute girl Makomo. Almost the moment she saw Sato, the cute Makomo widened her eyes, but before Makomo called out Sato's name, Sato quickly stopped Makomo.

From then on, there was another member in the Demon Slayer Corps who hid a secret from Giyuu.

However, Shinichi probably didn't expect that the lord had actually issued an order quietly. At this time, Santo should have recognized Giyuu.

As the lord, Yoya was very reluctant to see misunderstandings between the swordsmen, especially the excellent pillar-level swordsmen, so after Tomioka Giyuu became the Water Pillar, Yoya immediately notified Santo, hoping that after Giyuu returned, the gap between the Water Pillar and the Forest Pillar would disappear.

Wow! The breeze blew, and the green illusory branches gradually dissipated. The lord Yoya also felt a long-lost sense of relaxation in his body.

I couldn't help but stretch my waist, "Thank you very much, Shinichi." The lord said sincerely.

It was at this time that the lord's wife, Amane, brought two cute little girls, Ubuyashiki Hinai and Ubuyashiki Hikaru.

After seeing Shinichi, Tianyin bowed earnestly and thanked him: "Thank you, Mori-hashira-sama, for everything you have done for the lord."

Shinichi also quickly returned the greeting and said: "This is what I should do, Tianyin-sama is too polite."

He greeted the two cute little girls again, took out a handful of candy from his pocket, and stuffed it into the hands of Hinai and Hikaru, whose eyes were full of sparkles.

It was at this time that Tianyin-sama said to the lord Yoya with a sad face: "The wife of the Flame-hashira-sama, Mrs. Ruka, has passed away."

"What?" Shinichi and the lord were both stunned.
