Chapter 160: Sōsei: Someone Told Me to Follow History! (9/10, Request Subscription)

"Sister, you're back."

Butterfly House.

Seeing her sister return, Shinobu Kocho felt joy in her heart.

The Demon Slayer Corps, though named well.

It's about killing demons.

But in reality, it's common for members of the Demon Slayer Corps to be killed by demons.

Although the Hashira are at the top of the Demon Slayer Corps and possess great strength, making danger unlikely.

Yet, like all other members of the Demon Slayer Corps, every time a Hashira goes out, it might be their final farewell.

Shinobu was naturally delighted that her sister returned safely.

Kanao Tsuyuri stood there dazedly, her face showing no expression.

"It's Shinobu," Kanao Kocho sighed softly. "Sister's back."

"Sister, what's wrong? You seem troubled?" Though Shinobu usually acted carefree, she was deeply devoted to her sister and noticed every change in her.

Kanao Kocho smiled warmly: "Looks like Shinobu is very observant! Come, let's talk over there."

She led Shinobu and Kanao to one side.

"This time, Sister encountered something major—perhaps, in a very short time, we can end the age of demons."

Upon hearing this, Shinobu was stunned, staring at her sister, feeling as if her sister had become unfamiliar.

As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, she was no ordinary person and wasn't easily fooled.

Didn't she know how hard demons were to kill?

This was even for ordinary demons.

If they were Lower Moon or Upper Moon demons, killing them would be even harder.

And behind these demons stood the Demon King.

Even using your toes to think, ending the age of demons was certainly not an easy thing.

In fact, there was no hope of it within a hundred years.

"Sister, did something happen to you on this mission?" Shinobu asked, worried.

Members of the Demon Slayer Corps lived daily with battle, constantly facing life-or-death crises, separations, and bloody scenes.

Their minds were more or less troubled.

Had her sister broken too?

"Shinobu!" As her younger sister, raised alongside her since childhood, Kanao Kocho knew her thoughts at a glance. "I'm fine—I just encountered something unbelievable."

Then she recounted the story of the chat group.

Upon hearing it, Shinobu's expression grew even more worried.

She looked at her sister, her heart bitter.

Perhaps this is the fate of demon slayers.

"Shinobu, watch closely."

Kanao Kocho stepped aside, lightly pressing her foot down—suddenly, the ground shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

Immediately, a circle of several meters collapsed inward.

Staring at the massive crater before her, Shinobu was speechless.

"Sister, this…"

"This is the power I've begun to gain—I've already reported it to the Lord," Kanao Kocho said gently. "With the chat group, we'll soon eliminate all demons completely."

"Really?"

"It's actually true!"

Kanao Kocho gently pulled her sister into her arms and comforted her softly: "Of course it's true. Once demons are gone, we won't need to risk our lives anymore."

"Mm."

Kanao stood there dazedly until Kanao Kocho beckoned, then slowly walked over.

The next day.

As dawn broke, several nearby Hashira arrived at the Ubuyashiki residence.

"Lord!"

"Yesterday, the Flower Hashira brought good news. I want you to test her strength. If it's true, the Demon Slayer Corps will fully support her."

"Yes, Lord."

Though puzzled, the others followed the Lord's orders and went outside.

Outside, the sunlight was bright; Kanao Kocho stood there like a beautiful painting.

"Flower Hashira, begin now. I want to see what kind of fortune you've gained to make the Lord change his mind."

"Alright," Kanao Kocho nodded. "Come at me together. Let's finish quickly so we can proceed with the next plan."

The others froze, a flicker of anger rising in their hearts.

We're all Hashira—how dare you ask us to attack you as a group? That's an insult.

They exchanged glances, then drew their swords.

The next instant, their vision blurred, their necks stung, the world spun, and they crashed to the ground.
