Yaozai Ubuyashiki reached out and touched his forehead, feeling a rough patch of skin there, but his happiness did not diminish.
Although his body was healthier than ever before, the curse had not disappeared.
Having been tormented by illness since birth, he knew that this was not a sickness, but a curse from heaven upon the Ubuyashiki clan's bloodline.
The source was Kibutsuji Muzan, the progenitor of demons, who emerged from their bloodline.
Heaven's curse might have no effect on Kibutsuji Muzan, but for humans, it was an unbearable sin.
If not for the women of the Shinto priest family intermarrying with the Ubuyashiki family for a thousand years, the Ubuyashiki clan would have long vanished. Even so, no one in the Ubuyashiki clan had ever lived past thirty.
Shinobu Kocho was also a little surprised that her magic could not cure Master's illness: "I apologize, Master, my magic doesn't seem to be able to completely eradicate your illness."
As a doctor, she had always treated Master's illness and knew how severe it was, but no matter how many methods she used, there was no effect.
She just didn't expect Master's illness to be so severe that even the magic bestowed by the Favor of God couldn't completely eradicate it.
According to Lord Xia Wei, her magic could clear all negative effects and restore an injured body to its most perfect state.
When she cast the magic, she felt that the sickness in Master's body was clearly eliminated, but after the magic's effect disappeared, the sickness returned.
Shinobu Kocho said earnestly: "Perhaps only when my magic becomes stronger will I be able to completely cure Master."
Yaozai Ubuyashiki was full of gratitude: "Please don't apologize, Lady Miko, I have never felt such a healthy body as I do now."
"Moreover, what I have is not a simple illness, but a curse from heaven. Only by eliminating the progenitor of demons can we seek heaven's forgiveness."
They, the Ubuyashiki clan, bore a part of the sins Kibutsuji Muzan created over the past thousand years.
"From now on, please do not address me as Master, Lady Miko. Your current status is the Miko of the Supreme God, and calling me Master would be disrespectful to the God."
Amane Ubuyashiki nodded: "Yes, that's right, Miss Butterfly."
Shinobu Kocho only now realized that Master and Amane's attitude towards her had been a little strange from the beginning, but she quickly became relieved.
It was because her status had changed. She recalled Lord Xia Wei's voice from last night in her mind: 'Having gained the Favor of God and constantly sublimating, you will become a God, not a wild god, but a true god.'
The Miko of the Supreme God, who will become a God in the future.
After all, it was related to a God, and the Supreme God at that, which was why Master and Amane's attitude towards her had changed so much.
Shinobu Kocho nodded gently: "I understand, Mr. Ubuyashiki, Amane."
Yaozai Ubuyashiki, supported by Amane, stood up and bowed solemnly to Shinobu Kocho: "Thank you again, Miss Butterfly, for curing my illness. Furthermore, the Hashira will be back soon, and I entrust you with explaining the news of the God."
Shinobu Kocho's emotions were somewhat complex, and she nodded: "This is what I should do."
"Perhaps Lord Xia Wei also has the intention of bestowing Blessing upon the Hashira and Master."
Yaozai Ubuyashiki was incredulous: "Does the Great God actually have the intention of bestowing Blessing upon other children? Then do we have a chance to meet the Great God?"
Shinobu Kocho thought of Xia Wei's gentle smile and said with a smile: "Lord Xia Wei is very gentle, a compassionate God. Perhaps he has long foreseen the destiny of everyone coming to meet him."
Yaozai Ubuyashiki trembled with excitement: "That's wonderful!" He couldn't help but put his hands together and close his eyes: "Thank you, destiny fantasy great god, for your compassion."
Meeting a Supreme God, he dared not even imagine it, let alone potentially receiving the Blessing of God.
"Caw! Caw! News! News from the Hashira!"
The cawing of a Kasugai Crow was heard, and a Kasugai Crow flew in from outside the door curtain and landed on Yaozai Ubuyashiki's shoulder.
"News from the Hashira."
"All the Hashira have rushed back and will arrive soon."
Yaozai Ubuyashiki stroked the Kasugai Crow: "Every time there's a Hashira Meeting, everyone is so punctual, no matter how far away they are, they always rush back immediately. I, who can do nothing, truly feel ashamed."
Shinobu Kocho shook her head: "Please don't say that, Mr. Ubuyashiki. It is because of you that everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps is gathered here."
All the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps had their homes taken by demons. The Demon Slayer Corps took in those who had lost their homes and taught them Breathing Technique so they could have the ability to take revenge on demons. They had long considered this place their home.
However, when they met Lord Xia Wei, Lord Xia Wei's place also became a home.
Soon, the first Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps arrived.
"Master, thank you for waiting." A tall man, dressed in monk's robes, with snow-white eyes, and muscles beneath his clothes like rocks, walked into the courtyard, rubbing red prayer beads in his hands: "Namu Amida Butsu."
Although his eyes couldn't see, he seemed to be able to see, and was somewhat surprised by Master's current state.
"Master's aura is much more vigorous than before, as if he has returned to five years ago. It's truly delightful." Saying this, the man even shed tears: "Buddha bless."
Yaozai Ubuyashiki smiled: "You worked hard on your mission, Gyomei. Yes, I am very healthy now, all thanks to Miss Butterfly."
"Miss Butterfly?" Gyomei Himejima was stunned, turning his unseen eyes towards Shinobu Kocho, who was kneeling opposite Master.
Yaozai Ubuyashiki smiled gently: "Yes, it's a long story. I will explain everything to everyone once all the children have arrived. This is also why I urgently summoned everyone back."
"Namu Amida Butsu." Gyomei Himejima put his hands together and recited: "Master must have a correct consideration for doing this. I will follow Master's wishes."
Although he had many doubts in his heart, he did not ask anything further.
The Hashira returned one after another, kneeling down on both sides of the room, but all were somewhat surprised by the rather eerie atmosphere.
Giyu Tomioka expressionlessly looked at Shinobu Kocho, who was at the head of the room like Master: 'Is Master gathering everyone back related to the Insect Pillar? Has the whereabouts of an Upper Moon been discovered?'
Kyojuro Rengoku sat upright, his hands on his knees, his eyes full of spirit. Just kneeling seemed to make the vitality around him burn: 'Although I don't know what happened, it's wonderful that Master's illness has improved.'
Uzui Tengen crossed his arms: 'Did the Insect Pillar splendidly create some miraculous healing medicine? Is that why Master gathered everyone back?'
Muichiro Tokito stared blankly at the ceiling: 'There's a spider on the ceiling. It seems to be weaving a web...'
Mitsuri Kanroji, lively and cheerful, blinked her eyes, cautiously glancing left and right, thinking nervously: 'Wow! Everyone's not talking, the atmosphere is so tense!'
'Master's illness seems to have gotten better, that's wonderful.'
'Isn't Miss Butterfly nervous sitting next to Master? So amazing!'
