Two months later, the Demon Slayer Headquarters.

"This will be where you live and work from now on."

Yin Lumi brought Mingyu Xingming to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, and under the curious eyes of many members, headed to the courtyard of the family owner.

Ten minutes later, when Yin Lumi and Ming Yu Xingming came to the owner's courtyard, the person waiting for them was the fourteen-year-old Ubuya Shiki Yaoya.

"Lord He Zai, my father is ill in bed, and my mother is taking care of my father, so I am here to receive you."

Uyashiki Yōya explained to Yin Lumi, who narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this. Uyashiki Yōya began to take over the Demon Slayer Squad, which means... Uyashiki Hikoya is no longer good.

"This is Bie Mingyu Xingmei. I recommend him to join the Demon Slayer Squad." Yin Lumi briefly introduced Ubuyashiki Yaoya and said, "You two will discuss the specific situation."

"I'm going to visit your father."

Yin Lumi walked past Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya, took off his shoes, stepped onto the corridor, and turned right to go to the room where Ubuya Shiki Hikoya was recuperating.

"Winter...dong..."

Yin Lumi stepped on the floor with her bare feet, and the "dongdong" sound she made made Uyashiki Mion in the room aware. She stood up and walked to the door while greeting her husband.

"Wow..."

Ubuyashiki Meiyin pushed open the paper window door, and Yin Lumi was already standing outside the door. She turned sideways and let Yin Lumi enter the room.

"Hezai..."

As soon as Yin Lumi walked in, Shiki Yanzai opened his eyes with trembling eyelids and turned to look at He Zai with a weak expression.

"While you still have time, what do you want to say?"

Yin Lumi sat down next to him and looked at him with a dull expression.

“Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out,”

Ubuyashiki Hikoya looked at Yin Lumi quietly, and the room was so quiet that he could hear his breathing of varying lengths.

Just by hearing the disordered breathing, one knew that his time was running out.

"Haha..." Suddenly, Ubuyashiki Hikoya chuckled and said: "Fourteen years have passed and I am almost dead, but you are still so young."

"Aren't you going to grow old?"

"Is there any secret?"

Ubuyashiki Hikoya made a rare joke, completely ignoring the fact that he was seriously ill in bed and about to die.

Yin Lumi didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

"He Zai, you are the most senior Hashira in the Demon Slayer Squad, so I leave it to you, Yao Zai."

Ubuyashiki Hikoya said, before Yin Lumi could answer, he closed his eyes.

"I will."

Yin Lumi replied in a deep voice, stood up, nodded solemnly to Ubuyashiki Mion, turned around and left.

When they came to the courtyard, Ubuya Shiki Yaoya and Beimingyu Xingmei sat opposite each other and were communicating.

Yin Lumi did not disturb them and left alone.

"Hello, Mr. Shuizhu!"

"Lord Shuizhu, are you back from your mission?"

Yin Lumi was walking in the village of the Demon Slayer Headquarters. Members of the Hidden Force and some members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were recuperating and resting at the headquarters would greet him when they saw him.

Yin Lumi is not the oldest member of the Demon Slayer Squad, but he is the oldest pillar among the current pillars.

Yin Lumi has been a water columnist for eleven years, and many members know him.

"Senior, you are back."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Yin Lumi turned around and saw Purgatory Makijuro walking towards him with a child.

Today's Purgatory Makijuro has the appearance of a mature man with a weathered face.

"Makijuro."

Yin Lumi nodded slightly and greeted him.

Then he looked at the child next to Makisuro. The child had a pair of strange children, one golden on the left and green on the other. Their faces were covered with a white scarf, their black hair was stuck together like kelp, and a small white snake was wrapped around his neck.

With this obvious appearance, Yin Lumi immediately understood that this child was Yin Hei Xiaobanai.

Seeing Yin Lumi staring at him, the child retreated behind Masakiro with some fear.

"This child and his family were all killed by demons, and the village was destroyed."

"He had nowhere to go and asked me to take him away, so I took him back to the Demon Slayer Squad."

Purgatory Makijuro turned sideways, revealing the frightened Yin Hei Xiaobanai.

"What are you going to do with him?"

Yin Lumi asked.

"Follow the procedures of the Demon Slayer Corps, assign him to the Demon Slayer Corps' trainer."

"The senior trainers will teach him. How far he can grow depends on his own efforts."

Purgatory Makijuro touched Xiaobanai's kelp head, his eyes looked slightly tired.

"Lord Flame Pillar."

At this time, a member of the hidden force ran over.

"Is this the child mentioned in the letter?"

The members of the hidden force looked at Yin Hei Xiaobanai and asked.

"Um."

Purgatory Makijuro nodded, pressing Yinhei Xiaobanai's shoulder with his left hand and pushing him towards him.

"Follow this man and he will arrange for you a teacher to teach you how to practice."

Yin Hei Xiaobanai looked at the members of the hidden army who were covering their faces, then looked back at Purgatory Makijuro, and then walked towards the members of the hidden army, one after the other, and gradually moved away.

"Go back."

Yin Lumi and Purgatory Makijuro were walking together.

Ten minutes later, the two of them returned to the courtyard together. Before they even got close, Purgatory Makijuro frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Yin Lumi noticed his expression and asked.

"When I usually come back, there are the sounds of Xing Jurou and Yin Nosuke practicing in the yard."

"But it's too quiet today. Even if there is no sound of training, there should be the sound of Rinaki and Kotonoha chatting."

Purgatory Makijuro said solemnly, six years have passed, his eldest son Purgatory Makijuro is nine years old, and Yonosuke next door is also six years old. The two children often play and practice together.

His wife, Rinaki, has a harmonious relationship with Kotonoha, Zuhira. They work together on housework every day and chat together in their free time.

"Yeah."

Yin Lumi looked in the direction of the courtyard. He only came back to stay for a day or two during the Spring Pillar Joint Meeting throughout the year. He had never understood these things.

After so many years, that yard has completely become the home of Zuiping Qinye and his son, and Yin Lumi is a guest.

"Creak~"

Purgatory Makijuro opened the door, and sure enough, as he thought, there was no one at home.

"Whoosh!"

Yin Lumi jumped up to the wall of the courtyard and glanced at the courtyard where Zuiping Qinye and his son lived. No one was home either.

"senior."

Purgatory Makijuro came out of the room with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Rui Huo's condition worsened and he was sent to the hospital."

Purgatory Makijuro's expression was solemn, and the piece of paper was a message from Purgatory Anjuro.

"Peng!"

Purgatory Makijuro hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and ran towards the medical center at the Demon Slayer Headquarters.

"Seriously ill."

Yin Lumi stood on the wall, looking at the retreating figure of Infernal Masakiro. He remembered that Masjuro died of illness because of his wife, and he had been depressed ever since and became addicted to alcohol.

"The medical level of the Demon Slayer Squad is probably dead."
