Chapter 66: Tsuyuri Kanao, mental trauma ()

"Please allow me to introduce myself again; I am the 97th Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya."

Kneeling on the tatami, Ubuyashiki Kagaya leaned forward slightly and bowed to Lin Que opposite him.

"I have already heard from Kanae about matters concerning Mr. Lin Que."

"Thank you for being willing to accept Kanae's invitation to descend into this world and help us, the Demon Slayer Corps, eradicate the Demon King, Kibutsuji Muzan."

"You really are trusting of your subordinates."

Lin Que showed a playful look: "Even though before this, you only had a few words from Kanae, and today is the first time we've met."

"You are actually willing to set aside your pride and be so respectful to me; aren't you afraid I might suddenly go back on my word?"

"I know Kanae very well; she would not lie to me about such things."

Ubuyashiki Kagaya showed a gentle smile: "As for things like pride... if setting aside some pride can eradicate Kibutsuji Muzan."

"Then the ninety-six masters before me would, without exception, have made the same decision."

"Well~ anyone can say polite things; I'll just believe your words for now."

Resting his cheek on one hand and sitting cross-legged on the floor, Lin Que's expression changed, and he looked at him with calm eyes.

"You seem to have something else you want to say. I don't like those roundabout tactics; speak your mind."

"Since you say so, I will get straight to the point."

After hesitating for a moment, Ubuyashiki Kagaya asked.

"Mr. Lin Que, may I ask you......"

"Oh, so you're worried the reward isn't enough."

Although based on personal habits, Lin Que did not actively eavesdrop on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's inner thoughts.

But the underlying feeling of unease in the other's heart was still transmitted to Lin Que's ears under the guidance of Observation Haki.

"As for the reward... hmm, prepare a copy of all the books on Breathing Styles from your Demon Slayer Corps for me."

"Only this?"

Ubuyashiki Kagaya looked at Lin Que in astonishment: "Is there nothing else you want?"

"There is." ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
