Kuzeha handed the potion directly to Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
The lounge fell into complete silence!
Really, just handing it over that directly?
Kagaya Ubuyashiki froze completely!
He had been following the news these past few days.
From the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, he had also learned about Kuzeha's situation.
He knew this was the recently released potion from the Yukinoshita Foundation that possessed rejuvenating effects.
More precisely, it had three major functions.
Extending lifespan, life-saving for the dying, and returning to youth!
It might not be able to completely eradicate Muzan Kibutsuji's curse.
After all, even if cured, as long as Muzan Kibutsuji was still alive, the curse could return at any time!
But it definitely had very powerful weakening effects!
Moreover, now Muzan Kibutsuji was already dead.
With the source of the curse eliminated, there was a high probability it could truly save lives!
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyes burned with intensity, his breathing nearly stopped!
It was just such a small vial of potion.
Each one had an auction price of around eight billion!
It caused the Yukinoshita Foundation's stock price to skyrocket!
It stirred the operations and decisions of major forces around the world!
Kuzeha knew that Kagaya Ubuyashiki would absolutely never use the Demon Slayer Corps as collateral.
He would never burden himself with the shackles of serving some faction in exchange for his own hope of continued survival!
Therefore, Kuzeha did not treat the gift of the potion as a transaction.
The highest strategy is to attack the mind, winning hearts is paramount!
"You should use it now, in case something happens to your body again."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, his eyes filled with both gratitude and excitement.
He swallowed nervously, reverently receiving the potion from Kuzeha's hands with both of his own.
Though it weighed only a hundred grams in his hands, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds!
He was afraid both of gripping too lightly and dropping it, and of using too much force and crushing it.
Cold sweat kept breaking out on his palms.
The potion could be taken orally or injected.
Given Kagaya Ubuyashiki's physical condition, his body had almost no intact areas left!
Therefore, he chose to drink it directly.
After unscrewing the transparent potion bottle, a sweet, light fragrance wafted out!
Just smelling it was quite refreshing.
However, from appearance alone, the liquid contents didn't seem particularly extraordinary.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki took a deep breath, feeling his mouth go dry.
While calming his wildly beating heart, he tilted his head back and poured it all into his mouth!
His tongue registered a viscous sensation, very similar to the texture of honey.
With several movements of his throat, the potion was completely swallowed into his stomach!
The changes happened quickly.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki felt something burning inside his body!
Life force flowed and spread through his blood vessels and nerves.
Pumped by his heart, it was transported to every cell in his body!
Each breath was far more vigorous than the previous one.
His originally pale complexion, which showed an unnatural flush, gradually returned to normal!
His body, slightly hunched from constant pain, was now able to stand steadily without external support!
The organ functions that had gradually lost the five senses due to his terminal illness were slowly recovering.
The skin on his face began to peel away, and new skin rapidly grew over the disfigured areas.
Before long, Kagaya Ubuyashiki had returned to the appearance of a normal person!
His eyes regained their clear brightness, radiating with spirited brilliance.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki had thought he was already a dying old man, barely clinging to life in this world.
This was also why he was so urgent to meet Kuzeha and express his gratitude.
Who knew when he might pass away?
He had already prepared himself mentally.
Unable to accompany his wife as she slowly aged...
Unable to watch his children grow up...
Unable to see everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps return to normal life in the future...
"Mr. Kuze, your help to the Ubuyashiki family and the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki will never forget for all eternity!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki bowed deeply to Kuzeha, reluctant to straighten up for a long time.
He understood in his heart that even this could not repay even one millionth of the debt!
Kuzeha had ended the thousand-year feud between his clan and Muzan.
He had freed the Demon Slayer Corps from the threat of death that came with the night!
"So what do you all plan to do next?"
The Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa's knuckles cracked loudly as he was the first to break the heavy, silent atmosphere with his question.
This was a spontaneously organized Hashira meeting.
All the Hashira were present.
And they had deliberately concealed this from Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Sanemi Shinazugawa's house had been destroyed by demons, with only he and his brother managing to escape.
This deeply traumatic past made him hate demons to the extreme!
Even in battle, he would spare no effort to slay demons at any cost.
Therefore, he had sustained many severe injuries.
Just the visible ones included three thick, long scars across his face!
They were shocking to behold!
On his chest, abdomen, and limbs hidden beneath his clothes, there were similarly various wounds.
Although hot-tempered, Sanemi Shinazugawa held immense love and respect for Kagaya Ubuyashiki!
The other Hashira felt the same way.
Due to various reasons, they had all formed blood feuds with demons!
Fortunately, they had received help from Kagaya Ubuyashiki and united under the Demon Slayer Corps.
Naturally, they didn't want to just watch their master march toward the end of his life!
