The purpose of El mutilating the demon's body into several parts is so that the demon can be easily delivered in a special wooden box. The shape was no different from the wooden box Tanjiro used to carry Nezuko.
"T-thank you for your hard work, Adrian-sama!" said a kakushi bowing fearfully in front of El.
"No problem, just take the demon and be careful on the road." El replied with a flat tone of voice and a cold expression.
"Hiii, W-well!" In horror, Kakushi and the two Kanoe-level demon extermination corps immediately turned around and left.
Looking at the backs of the five of them who were getting further away, El sighed. In fact, El had tried very hard to be as friendly as possible to others, but his out-of-sync facial expressions were always acting up.
El himself began to be confused, why did his cold nature suddenly turn into an expression that was out of sync? Something was wrong with his body, but El didn't really understand.
Letting out a frustrated sigh, El opened his mouth. "This cold expression, I'm sure there will be many bad rumors about me..."
"Alright, now I've captured 10 weak demons. There are still about 190 weak demons left, so that level A side mission is complete." muttered El, he suddenly saw Shiro flying towards him.
Raising his right arm, El let Shiro perch on his right arm. It had become a unique habit of Shiro and El as parents, if Shiro wanted to perch for a moment.
"Shiro, show me where the next weak demon is." El said, watching the white-feathered owl in his hand.
"Hoo, impromptu call! All Hashiras are requested by Oyakata-sama to gather at the center of the Demon Slayer Headquarters immediately!" Shiro announced this in a girlish voice.
El furrowed his brows thoughtfully, he thought. "Gathering so soon? Is there a Hashira meeting?" El's mind was like trying to put together several pieces of an incomplete puzzle. "No, wait I think I understand."
Then, El recalled the time setting after deciding to part with Tanjiro in Asakusa city due to different goals. If El counted from the present day, it should have been 20 days since that day.
'Ah, so that's it? I see.' El thought to himself after understanding the other intentions of Hashira's gathering.
'I have to go there to make sure that there aren't too many changes...' El muttered in thought.
"Shiro, show me the way." El commanded Shiro.
Immediately, Shiro flapped her snow-white wings in the night sky and showed the direction of the Demon Slayer Headquarters Center, or Kagaya Ubayasihiki's home.
Seeing the snow-white feathered owl flying in the sky quickly and gently without making a sound, El immediately moved to catch up quickly.
***
Ubuyashiki Mansion. This place serves as the center of the Demon Extermination Corps Headquarters. From here, the Corps leader and his family lived, overseeing the daily operations of the Corps.
This mansion serves as the current residence of Oyakata-sama, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, his wife Amane Ubuyashiki and their children. This house was been owned by the Ubuyashiki Family for generations.
The village is located on a mountain top in a remote area and is well protected to ensure the safety of its residents and visitors. Its exact location is kept secret to protect against demon attacks.
Compared to the already unknown and hidden Swordsman's Village, more elaborate methods are used to hide the Ubuyashiki Estate.
The mansion has a traditional design, with elegant wooden architecture. A wooden veranda runs along the perimeter of the house, slightly higher than the ground and serves as a transitional space between the inside and the garden.
The surroundings of this mansion are quiet and peaceful. The house has a well-maintained Zen garden. The ground of this garden is mostly covered by white gravel. The garden has wisteria trees, bonsai trees, stone lanterns, and a pond with large Ishi stones around it. The entire plot of land is surrounded by engawa.
In addition to the Ubayasihiki family residence, the Mansion serves as a strategic planning command center. A place where important decisions are made and efforts against demons are coordinated.
Important meetings and strategy sessions are held here, especially in the presence of Hashira, the Corps' strongest swordsman. Each meeting was crucial, as it was to plan missions and discuss tactics for the next steps in fighting the demonic threat.
Currently El, along with the other Hashira, stood looking at Tanjiro lying on the ground unconscious, in a state of unconsciousness. By Tanjiro's side, a kakushi was trying to wake the unconscious Tanjiro.
Since Tanjiro didn't wake up despite Kakushi yelling at him and beating his face, the other Hashiras looked at El with heat.
They had heard about a newly-raised Hashira, but they had never had the chance to meet.
Then, El turned his eyes around to see all the Hashiras gathered one by one.
"I'm happy because with more Hashira, the strength of the demon hunters will increase." said a man who turned very large among the Hashira.
"What's your name!" said a man with enthusiasm and excitement.
"He doesn't look weak..." muttered a man with Hetercromia eyes with a snake around his neck.
(Humu, my Mc is very strong. You know, Obanai? {N/A})
"What kind of breathing Hashira are you? Ah, my name is Shinobu Kocho, insect Hashira." asked a purple-haired young lady with a friendly smile.
"Your face is very beautiful. By the way, my name is Tengen Uzui." said the white-haired Hashira.
'Kyaaa, this Hashira is so handsome!' The pink-haired woman said that in her mind while closing eyelids.
'What are those clouds called?' The long-haired young boy with gray tips looked at the cloudy sky.
"My name is Kyojuro Rengoku, tell me your name!" Kyojuro said so with a smile and enthusiasm.
Kyojuro was a tall young adult. He had long bright yellow hair with red streaks like flames, two shoulder-length bangs and two chin-length bangs on the sides of his head, black forked eyebrows, and golden eyes that faded to red with white pupils.
Kyojuro wore the standard black Demon Slayer uniform, which was dyed brown, consisting of a brown button-down jacket with a stand-up collar and long sleeves, a white belt around his waist, and tattsuke-hakama pants.
On top of the demon hunter uniform, Kyojuro wears a haori with a white-yellow gradation pattern and red flame-like protrusions at the ends.
Lastly, he wore a red kyahan with yellow flames erupting from bottom to top, with pale brown tabi socks and a pair of white zōri with red laces.
"If you are feeling curious, my name is Gyomei Himejima, I am a stone Hashira." Gyomei said and then went back to chanting.
Gyomei was a very large figure among the Demon Exterminators. He was well-built and very muscular, had spiky black hair and a prominent scar that ran horizontally across his forehead. Having been blind since childhood, he had white eyes with no visible iris or pupil.
Gyomei wears the typical black and white uniform of a Demon Slayer, with bandages on his shins resembling kyahan and a white zōri with olive green happi draped over his shoulders. Gyomei also wears a large beaded necklace around his neck and carries a set of ojuzu beads when he is not engaged in battle.
