The patter of raindrops fell on the fallen rocks. On a mountain peak in Tochigi Prefecture, there was a very famous family in Neon, the Ubuyashiki family.

The reason why this family is so famous is that the person with the longest life recorded in Neon official records is the current head of the Ubuyashiki family, Teruya Ubuyashiki.

Are there any curious tourists who come here to see if this old man is so amiable, and Mr. Teriya always entertains them well, making Uyashiki Teriya's reputation more and more popular?

Unknowingly, this unknown mountain peak has become a "holy place". Even the racing enthusiasts who often race in the mountains of Tochigi Prefecture consciously stay away from here to maintain a quiet environment for this holy place.

But on this day, August 20, a strange visitor came to Ubuyashiki's house.

"The last time I saw you, it seems like three years ago, you asked me to help save that seriously injured kid. I remember his name was...Matsuda Jinpei? What a poor kid, he was injured like that by a bomb.

, If Yushiro hadn't taken action, he would have been dead." Ubuyashiki Teriya looked at the noble and beautiful woman in front of him and showed a reminiscing smile.

"I still have to rely on your help." Yagyu Swordsman walked to Uyashiki Teriya and knelt down, looked at the tea set next to him, and wanted to make tea, but just as she was about to move, her body froze, and she looked at

Ubuyashiki Teriya showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Seeing the world-famous swordsman looking so embarrassed, Ubuyashiki Teriya smiled fondly.

When Minako Yagyu was still young, she once visited Teriya Uyashiki's home and made matcha that was a nightmare. Teriya Uyashiki still doesn't know how Minako Yagyu did this, but

This did not prevent him from taking the trouble to teach Yagyu Minako the tea ceremony. His descendants have already changed their faces and integrated into society. He is the only one on this mountain, and Yagyu Minako is like his granddaughter.

It's a pity that Minako Yagyu really has no talent in tea ceremony. After learning for a long time, she can still only make nightmarish matcha.

But the doting smile on his face froze as soon as he showed it. He realized something was wrong and said, "Are you injured?"

Minako Yagyu is a swordsman genius who has always been on the rise and is far from reaching her peak.

When she first arrived in Tokyo ten years ago, she was just an ordinary swordsman. But when Munegi Yagyu came to Tokyo ten years later, Munege Yagyu could not see how strong Yagyu Minako really was.

Sometimes Munege Yagyu feels that the strength of Minako Yagyu and Mikado are almost the same, and sometimes he feels that Minako Yagyu is just an ordinary swordsman.

This is because in the past ten years, Minako Yagyu has continuously improved her own strength. Now, even Chiyo Inari, who has begun to promote to the quasi-demon god, still has to call Minako Yagyu a master.

In other words, no one could have imagined that Minako Yagyu had successfully advanced to the rank of quasi-demon without even knowing it, and became the first quasi-demon in the history of Neon Kendo.

Except for Yagyu Munesege, a person who can travel through time and space.

But she, who could already be called the invincible, was injured after her trip to Kyoto. This surprised Ubuyashiki Teriya.

"The king general of the fierce ghosts attacked me secretly. At that time, I did not avoid it in order to protect the little girl of the Sheqi family."

"General Wang, are you on the second string? His strength shouldn't hurt you even if he makes a sneak attack."

"The one who hurt me was the little girl from the Seraki Hachi family." Minako Yagyu said with a wry smile: "You know, she is a spoiled little girl with a mind that cannot be more than six years old. She probably wants to

He wanted to attack the general, but he hit me."

"This is troublesome." Uyashiki Teriya frowned, obviously knowing how dangerous the little girl from the Seraki Hachi family is: "She has one of the most dangerous word spirits among mixed species, Judgment, in it

The subsequent Word Spirits are all world-destroying level, and no one can reuse them except the Dragon King. Each Dragon King is a quasi-demon first-level existence, and Judgment also has similar characteristics. It is a Word Spirit that directly modifies the rules.

, as long as it is hit within the scope of the trial, it will leave a wound that will never heal, and will collapse again even if it is healed by special means. This wound will continue to collapse until complete death...

…”

Uyashiki Teriya looked at Minako Yagyu. Minako Yagyu had been hit by this move, which meant that she could be declared dead.

"Fortunately, the girl is too weak. Even with such a dangerous word spirit, she cannot cause fatal harm to me, but in the next period of time, I may not be able to take action again."

"...It's good to be alive." Uyashiki Teriya breathed a sigh of relief.

He has experienced too many things and seen too many people die, so for him, it is just fine that Yagyu Minako is alive. As for whether he can take action or not, that is not important.

"But I can't take action on this matter, and the king also knows it."

Wang Jiang, a mysterious leader whose identity is unknown. He always has reservations when taking actions, but even if he has reservations, he is extremely powerful. As the leader of the fierce ghosts, he somehow joined the Twelve Ghost Moon and became the Second String.

, in the eyes of the Demon Slayer Squad, he is much more dangerous than the one on the string.

As the highest combat power of the Demon Slayer Corps, if the fact that Minako Yagyu is unable to take action is known to the general, it will be obvious that Tokyo will soon be in chaos again.

"Are the eight Sheqi families still unwilling to cooperate with us?"

Because Wang Jiang, the leader of the fierce ghosts, has joined the Twelve Ghost Moons, the goals of the Snake Qi Eight Family and the Demon Slayer Team are always the same. The two forces often meet, have conflicts, and have temporary cooperation on the battlefield, but Snake

The Qihachi family looks down on the Demon Slayer Corps and is always unwilling to officially regard the Demon Slayer Corps as an ally, even if the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps is Yagyu Swordsman.

"The arrogance of hybrids cannot be changed. They will not cooperate with us." Minako Yagyu shook her head.

Even though Minako Yagyu was accidentally injured while protecting a little girl from the Hachiki family, the Hachihachi family still didn't even say thank you or apologize before leaving.

Probably in their eyes, Minako Yagyu is no different from a roadside bunker.

"Then it looks like we can only mobilize more people to enter Tokyo. By the way, have you made a decision about Megumi?" Teruya Uyashiki looked at Minako Yagyu. The Megumi he mentioned was Yagyu Muneshige's senior sister.

Megumi Shimizu.

"Well, she will go to China as the heir of the Northern Fa Xiangzong."

"Her identity...can indeed be accepted, but what about the guards? If you are not from China, you can't get in there."

"I will let my son serve as a guard. What's his name..."
