And Arashiya, founded by Natsuhiko, is a highly acclaimed establishment that has only been around for four years.
The name sounds like some kind of armed organization, but in reality, it is the Demon Slayer Corps' exclusive mobile canteen.
It is generally not open to the public; only members of the Demon Slayer Corps and animals can eat inside.
Swordsmen's training requires a lot of nutrition, with meat being particularly important.
Although the island nation has undergone tremendous changes in all aspects since the Meiji Restoration, it is still not very rich in resources, especially in terms of meat, and people still rely more on fish to satisfy their needs.
This is something that money can't buy.
However, Xia Yan was able to do what others couldn't.
Because he was able to obtain large quantities of various abundant meat ingredients from other worlds through chat groups, and then distribute them to various regions through the Demon Slayer Corps' supply chain.
They are specifically responsible for the meals of the Demon Slayer team members during their work and training.
Actually, Xia Yan initially set up a cafeteria simply to satisfy his own dietary needs.
As a result, the Demon Slayer Corps members who were still developing received sufficient nutrition, which effectively promoted their growth and development.
With the lord's strong support, it grew bigger and bigger, even becoming another subordinate organization within the Demon Slayer Corps.
Xia Yan does not need to manage the specific tasks himself.
All he needs to do is put a large amount of ingredients into the "Arashiya" private cold storage every week, and then a member of the "Hidden" team will be responsible for transporting them to Arashiya locations around the world.
Of course, in the end, the Ubuyashiki family pays the bill.
For someone like Mitsuri Kanroji who needs to eat a lot of food every day, "Arashiya" provides plenty of nutritious food and various meats, tastes amazing, and is unlimited...
This isn't a cafeteria, it's paradise!
Therefore, after learning that it was Xia Yan who created it, they immediately worshipped him as a god.
"Hahaha, indeed, the Arashiya has made a great contribution to the growth of swordsmen! It's a truly remarkable organization!"
Kyojuro Rengoku, whose appetite was equally impressive, nodded in deep feeling, and then continued with his introduction and comments.
"The twin brothers that Natsuhiko just mentioned are the 'Mist Pillars.' To be more precise, the younger brother, Muichiro Tokito, is the 'Mist Pillar,' while the older brother, Yuichiro Tokito, actually learned Natsuhiko's self-created 'Storm Breathing.'"
"It seems that because he was taught a lesson by Xia Yan, he wanted to surpass him in this aspect, so he chose the Breath of Storms."
"Both brothers are incredibly talented geniuses! They're much better than me at their age! They're young but extremely hardworking, which is remarkable!"
Kanroji Mitsuri looked at the two brothers.
Muichiro smiled kindly and waved to her, while Ichiro turned his head away, seemingly disdainful.
However, her ears seemed a little red, but they were covered by her long hair and were not very clear.
"The tallest member is 'Stone Pillar' Gyomei Himejima, the strongest swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps 3.5 besides Natsuhiko!"
"He possesses an incredibly powerful physique, seemingly blessed by the heavens, allowing him to wield massive weapons with ease! His muscle mass is superb! He's also the oldest among the Pillar-level swordsmen, a truly respectable individual!"
When his name was called, Himejima Gyomei nodded kindly towards Kanroji Temple.
Kanroji Mitsuri responded with a smile.
Because the other person had been kneeling on the ground chanting sutras, Ganlu Temple did not pay much attention to him.
Now, after being introduced by Rengoku Kyojuro, it was discovered that the man who had been sitting obediently to the side was actually much larger than imagined, almost as tall as Kocho Shinobu even before he stood up.
Sitting there, he resembled a massive statue of the King of Benevolence, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura.
Chapter 365 Righteousness: I Seem to Be Becoming Popular
"The one with bandages wrapped around his face is Obanai Iguro, the 'Snake Pillar.' He has very keen senses. If you only look at the use of the joints in his shoulders, elbows, and wrists, his self-created 'Snake Breathing' is even more flexible than your 'Love Breathing'!"
"The man with white hair and many scars is the 'Wind Pillar,' Sanemi Shinazugawa, a man who has elevated the 'Wind Breathing' technique to a whole new level! He's truly amazing!"
Because Obanai Iguro and Sanemi Shinazugawa both have unapproachable personalities, even the enthusiastic Kyojuro Rengoku doesn't have much contact with them on a daily basis.
Therefore, the introduction is much more concise compared to the previous ones.
When it came to the last person, Kyojuro Rengoku seemed a little conflicted.
"Finally, there's 'Water Pillar' Giyu Tomioka... He, uh... he..."
As if racking his brains to organize his thoughts and reflecting on Giyu Tomioka's usual behavior, Kyojuro Rengoku remained silent for a moment before giving his evaluation.
"Although he usually doesn't talk much and his voice is so soft that it's hard to hear him, he's a silent but capable 05! Hmm, that's it!"
"..."
The air became quiet for a moment.
The other pillars all looked at Giyu Tomioka.
Giyu Tomioka stared blankly into the void, seemingly trying to unravel the mysteries hidden within.
"Pfft hahahahaha..."
Upon hearing Rengoku Kyojuro's evaluation after much deliberation, both Natsuhiko and Uzui Tengen burst into laughter without hesitation.
Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, while the other Pillars' lips twitched slightly, looking like they were struggling to hold it in.
Giyu Tomioka (turns around coldly): I'm different from you. (Meaning I'm not worthy to stand with you.)
Just as everyone was persecuting Giyu Tomioka, two girls who looked to be only seven or eight years old quietly came out.
Although the two of them tried their best to be quiet and not make any noise to disturb the pillars, everyone present was a highly skilled expert and naturally noticed them immediately.
The two girls were dressed in colorful kimonos covered with lotus patterns, both with bob haircuts, and were extremely cute. They looked seven-tenths like the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and their white hair was inherited from their mother, Amane.
They were the eldest and second eldest of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's five children.
"Oh, it's Hina and Hinata. Is Kagaya coming out?"
Xia Yan put one hand on Tomioka Giyuu's shoulder, leaning his weight on him, and greeted Hinai and Hinata in a very unladylike manner.
Because they look exactly alike, apart from Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Mrs. Amane, no one else can tell them apart.
Therefore, they can be distinguished by wearing different accessories: one wears a red rope-knot hair accessory on the right and a red belt, while the other wears a yellow rope-knot hair accessory on the left and a yellow belt.
However, because Xia Yan possesses the Byakugan and the powerful observational ability of the Transparent World, he can recognize it even without these decorations.
"My lord has just taken his medicine and will be out in a while, Lord Xia Yan."
The two little girls said in unison.
Although he is her biological father, Hinai and Hinata usually address Ubuyashiki Kagaya as their master, just like the other team members.
It would be more intimate to address Xia Yan by his name.
However, this is also due to Xia Yan's special status. After all, with the connection of Mrs. Tianyin, he is now considered the children's godfather, and he often comes back to the headquarters to visit when he has nothing to do.
Therefore, the relationship will appear closer.
Despite learning that their lord would not be out for a while, the pillars stopped chatting and spontaneously lined up in a row.
It wasn't the difference in their social status that made them so respectful.
After all, in theory, there is no difference in level between a Pillar-level swordsman and the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps. If you have to say, it's only half a level, similar to the difference between a principal and deputy level.
They did this purely because of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's personal charm, which earned their heartfelt respect.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's leadership philosophy is to treat the Demon Slayer Corps as a whole family, and many members of the Demon Slayer Corps have tragic backgrounds.
Therefore, many swordsmen, including Pillar, respected him as if he were their father.
Xia Yan is one of the few who treats Ubuyashiki Kagaya as an equal, especially considering the scene two years ago where he entrusted his wife and child to him.
It gave him a strange feeling that his seniority had increased.
Kanroji Mitsuri, who had just become a Pillar, was also finding it difficult to adapt...
'Huh? Why... are you all suddenly silent?'
Seeing everyone suddenly become serious, Kanroji Mitsuri felt a little lost.
She naturally respected Kagaya Ubuyashiki, after all, he was the first person besides her family to acknowledge her special qualities.
However, since it was her first time experiencing such a scene, she had just been relaxed and at ease, and suddenly she had to become serious, which made it a little difficult for her to adjust her mindset.
The Pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps do not have any particular order or rank; their positions are rather arbitrary and there is no fixed sequence.
She was now standing next to Giyu Tomioka, alongside Kyojuro Rengoku.
I looked back and around.
On the right is Rengoku Kyojuro, who stands tall and proud like a rooster, staring straight ahead, while on the right is Tomioka Giyuu, who is expressionless and as cold as an iceberg.
Noticing Kanroji Mitsuri's gaze, Tomioka Giyuu glanced back expressionlessly, then turned away again, maintaining his aloof demeanor.
His sword was cold, his heart was cold, and his gaze was cold.
His face was stern and cold, and he also had a cat-like face that made him look very unhappy.
This made Kanroji Mitsuri, who was already not very comfortable with the situation, even more nervous.
Mr. Tomioka seems very unhappy!
Is it because I stood next to him without his permission?
what to do……
At this moment, Giyu Tomioka—
Just now, Purgatory said I'm a silent doer. Was that an acknowledgment of my efforts?
But the one who truly deserves to stand here and enjoy the glory of the Pillars is Sabito. I'm just a coward who ran away; I have no right to stand here...
Although I am not qualified enough, let me, a useless person, temporarily do my best to uphold the duties of the Demon Slayer Corps before the new water pillar appears.
By the way, Narukami Light is quite heavy, but I'm still happy that he takes the initiative to talk to me.
The new pillar is standing next to me. Does that mean I'm becoming popular...?
Sabito, watch me! I'll work even harder!!!
Chapter 366 If Pillar were a woman...
Natsuhiko naturally noticed Kanroji Mitsuri's reaction.
