"Quick! This child has been unconscious on the way, and his physical condition is extremely poor now!"
"This one's leg injury is very serious!"
"And Uzui-sama, his external injuries are also very serious!"
A commotion came from the nearby Butterfly Mansion. Although injured Demon Slayer Corps members were often sent to the Butterfly Mansion before, Chiba Yo had never seen such a large-scale situation.
Uzui is injured?
Chiba Yo suddenly remembered that Tanjirou and the others had all gone with Tengen to carry out a mission.
"From now on, you'll have to practice on your own." Chiba Yo said this to Genya, then, feeling uneasy, ran towards the Butterfly Mansion. Tanjirou and his two companions were not only his friends now but also his junior disciples.
"Oh, okay."
Genya also noticed the commotion at the Butterfly Mansion, but he was not familiar with the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps, so he didn't go over.
Upon arriving at the Butterfly Mansion, Chiba Yo saw a group of Hidden members busy transporting the injured. Tanjirou, Tengen, and Zenitsu were all lying on stretchers. Tengen had one wound on his chest and another on his waist.
Three beautiful, well-built women stood to the side, looking at Tengen worriedly. One of them, a black-haired, blue-eyed woman, was crying sadly.
"Waaah, waaah, waaah, Tengen-sama! You absolutely must not die! Otherwise, Makio will definitely bully me every day!"
A woman next to her, with golden-yellow bangs at the front of her hair, heard her words and angrily slapped her on the head, yelling at her, "What nonsense are you talking about! Tengen-sama will definitely get better very soon!"
After being slapped by Makio, Sumo cried even more sadly.
"Waaah, waaah, waaah, Tengen-sama, quickly open your eyes and look, Makio is hitting me again!"
Chiba Yo saw Tengen's eyelid on the stretcher twitch, but he did not open his eyes.
Moreover, Sumo wasn't the only one crying here. Zenitsu, lying on the stretcher and being carried by Hidden members, had his eyes wide open, with tears and snot flowing out.
"Leg! Leg! My leg hurts so much! What on earth happened! Why does my leg hurt so much after waking up! Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, it's killing me!"
"Waaah, waaah, waaah!"
"Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh!"
The two's cries rose and fell, interspersed with Makio's scolding shouts at Sumo, creating a chaotic scene.
The Hidden members responsible for transportation finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly, "Stop arguing!!! The condition of these few is not optimistic. Are you trying to increase the difficulty of treatment by arguing here?"
This shout from the Hidden member quieted the scene, and everyone temporarily calmed down.
Sumo bit her lip, trying hard not to cry out loud, with large strings of tears still hanging on her face.
After quieting the scene, the Hidden member then yelled at Zenitsu, "Aren't you tired of shouting all the way? No matter how you got injured, the most important thing now is to heal you, understand? If you keep shouting, your leg might not be saved!"
The Hidden member's words were naturally meant to scare Zenitsu, and Zenitsu was indeed scared, his face turning pale. He wanted to cry and shout but didn't dare, and so he was carried in by the Hidden member.
Watching the three being sent into the Butterfly Mansion, Chiba Yo knew they were going to undergo treatment, so he didn't go in to disturb them. He wanted to find someone who knew the situation to understand what happened, but before he could speak, someone eagerly told him.
"Hmph hahahaha, The Night King! We actually slayed an Upper Moon this time!
An Upper Moon, do you know what that is? It's a super, super powerful demon! We slayed one this time!"
Inosuke said to Chiba Yo, laughing with his arms crossed, his tone full of pride. He was the least injured this time, only suffering some minor external injuries from a belt cut. After applying medicine and bandages, he was fine.
However, the ability to move his organs that he gained during training didn't come in handy this time.
"Oh? Which Upper Moon was it?" Chiba Yo asked Inosuke upon hearing this.
"The weakest among the Upper Moons, Upper Rank Six."
Before Inosuke could answer, Iguro Obanai, who had gone to support and returned with them, answered for him.
Obanai's words made Inosuke very angry, and he shouted at Obanai:
"Hey! You gold-green-eyed bandage man, do you know what an Upper Moon is? Have you ever seen an Upper Moon to dare say that! An Upper Moon is very, very strong, and we defeated an Upper Moon demon! So we are also very, very strong!"
Inosuke's words clearly angered Obanai as well. He indeed had never seen an Upper Moon, and this time, when he went to support, he ultimately couldn't make it in time. By the time he arrived, Tengen and the others had basically finished dealing with everything.
He was very envious that Tengen had encountered an Upper Moon this time. Inosuke's words were clearly twisting the knife in his wound.
Remembering the Master's previous instruction not to bully lower-ranked swordsmen, Obanai resisted the urge to beat Inosuke up, snorted coldly, and stopped arguing with Inosuke.
Seeing Obanai speechless, Inosuke was extremely proud. This was the first time he had won an argument against someone else; in the past, he was always infuriated by others' words.
Having defeated Upper Rank Six… there are now only four Upper Moon demons left. Muzan has few pawns left to command. It won't be long before he can be found and completely annihilated!
Chiba Yo thought excitedly.
On the other side, Kagaya was also greatly invigorated upon hearing this news, but since Chiba Yo had already slayed Upper Moon Five before, his reaction this time was not as excited as last time.
"The gears have begun to turn. The Upper Moons are being eliminated one by one in this era, and eventually, that man will also find it difficult to escape!"
Kagaya said excitedly while lying on his bed.
Just then, a Kasugai Crow landed by the window, with a letter tied to its leg.
Amane, kneeling beside Kagaya, went to retrieve the letter from the Kasugai Crow's leg, then opened and read it.
"Husband, Miss Tamayo's reply has arrived."
After completing the last mission, Chiba Yo, at the Master's request, sent a letter to Tamayo via a Kasugai Crow, hoping she could come and discuss the plan to eliminate Muzan together.
At the same time, Chiba Yo also told the Kasugai Crow to deliver the reply directly to the Master once received, and this was also communicated to Tamayo in the letter.
"Amane, please read it for me." Kagaya said to Amane. He was now completely blind and even had difficulty getting up.
"Yes." Amane responded, then unfolded the letter and began to read it to Kagaya.
"Tamayo is deeply grateful for the trust of the Demon Slayer Corps' Master.
For our common goal, I am willing to accept the proposal and plan to visit on the last night of this month to discuss the plan to eliminate that man together.
I hope we can cooperate happily."
Originally, Tamayo was very surprised when she saw the contents of the letter sent by Chiba Yo. On one hand, she didn't expect the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps to be willing to cooperate with her, a demon. On the other hand, she also had some doubts about the safety of this matter. After all, the Demon Slayer Corps and demons had been enemies for many years, and even if the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps was sincere, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't encounter radical Demon Slayer Corps members who would slay her.
But after much deliberation, Tamayo finally decided to go and cooperate. To eliminate Muzan, she was willing to take this risk, and she trusted Chiba Yo relatively well.
