Chapter 67

And in the midst of being constantly beaten… cough, in the constant sparring of sword skills, Yūto and Kyōshirō naturally developed a good friendship.

Not only the Flame Hashira Kyōshirō, but even the Love Hashira MITSURI, the Serpent Hashira Ijūin Obanai, and the Mist Hashira Tengen Uzui, Yūto got along well with all of them.

MITSURI is a girl with a very fiery figure, not only sweet-looking but also with a fiery body. The reason she came to the Demon Slayer Corps, however, made Yūto somewhat laugh and cry at the same time.

In Yūto's view, MITSURI, who is excellent in every aspect, failed in consecutive matchmaking due to her unusual hair color and her possession of superhuman strength.

Thus, she joined the Demon Slayer Corps to find an excellent partner…

In Yūto's eyes, whether it's MITSURI's foodie trait or her superhuman strength, they are all definitely cute points in the modern world, so he naturally wouldn't despise her. On the contrary, he even encouraged MITSURI to eat more.

When MITSURI deliberately concealed her superhuman strength but was discovered by Yūto, Yūto generously had an arm-wrestling match with her.

At that time, Kyōshirō was frantically signaling Yūto not to seek death with his eyes, but the final result was unexpected.

The super-strong girl MITSURI did not win the arm-wrestling match because Yūto, who possesses a super-strength skill, was even stronger!

After the barriers were removed, the two naturally became friends.

The situation of the Serpent Hashira Ijūin Obanai is roughly the same as MITSURI, also being an object of discrimination, but for family reasons.

And the heterochromia in his eyes is not a big deal to Yūto, after all, in the modern world he comes from, many middle schoolers buy colored contacts for such heterochromia.

Yūto can also see that the calm and silent Ijūin Obanai actually has a crush on MITSURI, so he has been secretly acting as a wingman.

As for Tengen Uzui, although he always looks dazed, he is undoubtedly a true genius.

Compared to Kyōshirō, who is always brutally defeated by him, Yūto is more enthusiastic about sparring with Tengen Uzui because he can always learn a lot from him.

The Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka…, there's nothing to say, he's still as aloof as ever.

The Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho, Yūto's relationship with her is also so-so. However, her frequent squinting smile makes Yūto feel that she is a dangerous person, so he doesn't dare to joke with her much.

As is well known, women who like to smile with a gentle and refined smile are either terrifyingly powerful monsters or so-called super manipulators…

So, except for the Rock Hashira, Sound Hashira, and Wind Hashira, with whom Yūto has not had much contact, he has gained the recognition of most of them compared to half a year ago.

And this time, Shigeru Ubuyashiki called the nine Hashira and Yūto to announce two things.

The first thing is also the reason why Yūto was called over. Because of his outstanding mission completion rate and reputation in the Demon Slayer Corps over the past year, Shigeru Ubuyashiki decided to make Yūto the tenth Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps!

After Shigeru Ubuyashiki announced this decision, everyone except Yūto, who was slightly surprised, looked indifferent, as if they had known about it all along.

In fact, when Shigeru Ubuyashiki made this decision, he had already consulted with the other nine Hashira and received their unanimous agreement.

That's why Kyōshirō immediately asked Yūto to treat them when he saw him.

When Yūto heard that he would become the tenth Hashira, he also looked at the Rock Hashira and others, finally stopping at the Wind Hashira Shinobu.

Yūto was not surprised that Kyōshirō and the others agreed, but wasn't Shinobu always looking at him unfavorably? Why didn't he oppose it this time?

Seemingly noticing Yūto's gaze, Kyōshirō patted Yūto's shoulder and said, "Don't hold a grudge too much. Although that guy is a bit arrogant, he is still good to his comrades.

And because of his special experience, he deeply hates demons. When the lord proposed the idea of making you a Hashira, he did not oppose it at all."

At first, Shinobu indeed disliked Yūto's identity and had been secretly monitoring him.

But after discovering that Yūto eats normal food, can move in the sunlight, and has indeed killed more demons than he claimed, Shinobu finally fell silent.

An apology from the proud Wind Hashira is impossible, and even maintaining a neutral expression towards Yūto is already quite giving him face.

With his powerful strength, excellent character, and considerable fame and reputation, Yūto becoming the tenth Hashira was almost a natural progression.

This is the first thing Shigeru Ubuyashiki wanted to say. As for the second thing, it is that the Demon Slayer Corps' entrance examination for this year is about to begin.

In previous years, this matter had little to do with the Hashira, but because a monster emerged in the last entrance examination, almost wiping out the demons on Mount Fuji, a problem arose.

With the demons in Mount Fuji now considered an endangered species, they are insufficient to meet the needs of the upcoming Demon Slayer Corps entrance examination. Therefore, Shigeru Ubuyashiki hopes that the ten Hashira will capture more demons and throw them into Mount Fuji as a supplement.

This task can only be accomplished by the powerful Hashira.

Because ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members are already risking their lives to deal with demons, let alone capturing them alive.

So this task can only be completed by the Hashira, and the captured demons should not be too strong, as the participants in the examination are mostly inexperienced newbies.

After instructing on these two matters, the Hashira left. Yūto was not very interested in the task of capturing live demons.

But there's no choice, the pot of Mount Fuji has to be carried by him, and the other nine Hashira are now helping him clean up the mess, so he has even less reason to refuse.

After everyone was about to leave, Shigeru Ubuyashiki's violent coughing was heard again from behind the curtain.

"Yūto, be honest with me, do you still have any of that purple crystal you gave to the lord? At this rate, the lord's body won't last much longer."

Hearing Shigeru Ubuyashiki's coughing, Kyōshirō, who was walking beside Yūto, immediately pulled him aside and asked him in a low voice.
