Chapter 88: Trust
---
"Master Sound Pillar!"
The door opened, and Uzui Tengen walked in.
Soon, a short-haired young man appeared in front of him. There was a very scary wound on his face. He was walking slowly with the support of a beautiful woman.
"My lord!"
Tengen knelt on one knee.
"You're here, Tengen!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki stopped and turned to look at Uzui Tengen with a gentle voice that made people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
Tengen stood up: "My lord, the things you arranged have been prepared, and the transfer can begin now."
Kagaya shook his head slightly: "It's no longer needed!"
"No need?" Tengen showed a puzzled expression.
Amane took out a piece of information and handed it to him.
Tengen browsed it quickly, his eyes opened wider and wider, and he couldn't help but say: "My lord, is this true?"
"Information sent by Kanae herself," Kagaya said.
"So, Aomura not only returned safely but also killed Upper Rank Three and the newly promoted Upper Rank Six under the siege of Muzan Kibutsuji and the five Upper Ranks."
Tengen took a breath: "What a magnificent achievement!"
Kagaya's heart was also filled with emotion. They had made a lot of preparations to deal with the newly promoted Upper Rank Six, but now it was all in vain.
Who would have thought that an Upper Rank demon could die so easily?
Before that, no one had been able to kill an Upper Rank demon for more than a hundred years.
The excitement gradually subsided, and Tengen thought of a question: "My lord, hasn't Aomura's strength improved too fast?"
Kagaya said in a calm tone: "Tengen, it is a good thing that Mr. Aomura becomes stronger. Since we are allies, we should give him full trust."
In fact, Tengen is not the first person to raise this issue. He also understands the concerns of his peers.
Will Mr. Aomura become the second Muzan Kibutsuji? He does not deny that it is indeed possible. Once this happens, what they are doing now is to help others do evil.
However, if you want to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, how can you not take any risks?
Over the past thousands of years, too many people have died due to demons, and the Demon Slayer Corps has also made too many sacrifices. As long as he can put an end to Muzan Kibutsuji, he is willing to take any risk no matter how big it is.
What's more, so far, Mr. Aomura has been blameless in other aspects except for his slightly drastic methods when facing villains.
"I understand, my lord!"
Tengen said. He has not had much contact with Aomura and still has doubts in his heart, but he trusts his lord's judgment.
"Then thank you to the head of the Ubuyashiki family for your trust," a voice suddenly sounded next to him.
Tengen's expression changed drastically, and he stood in front of Kagaya Ubuyashiki without hesitation.
Aoki slowly walked out of the shadows.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation; it just happened to happen."
After learning "body control," he became more comfortable in concealing movement and eliminating the sense of existence. He even tried his best to hide it from Tengen.
Kagaya patted Tengen's arm, telling him not to be nervous. Then he looked at Aoki and said with a gentle smile: "I hope Mr. Aomura doesn't mind. Tengen is also used to seeing demons harming people, so he is vigilant."
"It's human nature and understandable," Aoki said.
He has long been mentally prepared for the fact that his display of too much strength may arouse the fear of the Demon Slayer Corps. This is also the fundamental difference between him, Tamayo and Yushiro.
This didn't bother him too much. This is something the Demon Slayers need to consider. If Kagaya wants to terminate the cooperation because of this, he is willing to part ways amicably. During this time, he has gained enough.
"Then thank you, Mr. Aomura." Kagaya smiled and asked: "Kanae said that Mr. Aomura has something to tell me?"
"I recently gained a new ability."
Aoki didn't waste any time and explained the "space mark shuttle" situation in detail, and finally said: "So, I hope the Demon Slayer Squad can give me more information about demons!"
Kagaya looked a little serious and thought for a few seconds: "If Mr. Aomura doesn't mind working harder, we can put more effort into intelligence collection and leave the job of killing demons to Mr. Aomura!"
"I'm OK" Aoki said without thinking.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's decision actually has pros and cons for the Demon Slayer Squad. The advantage is that the mortality rate of Demon Slayer members will be greatly reduced. Fighting demons is very dangerous. For ordinary members, every battle almost risks their lives.
The downside is that this destroys the system of the Demon Slayer Squad. If the two parties had only cooperated purely before, then from now on, the Demon Slayers will inevitably become dependent on him.
Aoki understands. To make this decision, not only does it require strong courage, but Kagaya Ubuyashiki should also be expressing trust in him to make up for the gap that may have been caused by Uzui Tengen's words just now.
Thinking of this, Aoki took out a piece of paper, with a complex silver diamond pattern drawn on one side.
"Master Ubuyashiki, please accept this."
Amane took it for him and handed it to him. Kagaya Ubuyashiki rubbed the paper and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Aomura, is this?"
"A space mark symbol," Aoki said: "If you encounter danger, the head of the Ubuyashiki family will tear up this paper, and I can rush over immediately."
He is returning the favor. Kagaya is a very good collaborator.
Hearing this, Tengen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly lit up his eyes. The safety of the lord has always been the focus of their attention. However, no matter how they persuaded, the lord did not agree to let the Pillars protect him.
If it is really as Aomura said, then there will be no need to worry about the safety of the lord in the future. Unless Muzan Kibutsuji comes in person, no demon can threaten the safety of the lord.
Kagaya was also interested in it, but his focus was different from Uzui Tengen's. He said excitedly: "Is this also the method of using the 'space mark shuttle' that Mr. Aomura mentioned? Then can we also give one to the team members who collect intelligence? In this way, Mr. Aomura can rush over as soon as the demon is discovered."
Aoki had considered this method a long time ago: "I will make a batch later, but it is not easy to make space marks, and it is impossible to equip everyone."
"Some of them are enough!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki said solemnly: "Mr. Aomura, don't worry, we will definitely make them play the greatest role!"
They planned well, but it is only a plan at present. Aoki has not had time to make enough space marks, so the plan cannot start. However, preparations can be started first, such as the transformation of the Demon Slayer Corps, etc.
This is also the reason why Aoki came to Kagaya Ubuyashiki in advance.
