...

After learning that Mika could transport people across worlds, Yahweh conceived an idea. Since they needed to conceal their strength in Danmachi world, which meant they couldn't use fame to recruit more talent, why not recruit talent from other worlds to bolster the strength of Yahweh's familia?

This idea was approved by Mika and the other two, and they began to tackle the challenges involved.

First was the issue of talent selection. On this point, Mika and Yahweh had no disagreement: character was more important than ability. Even if someone was incredibly strong, if their personality clashed with the familia after recruitment, it would only lead to internal conflicts.

Second was the issue of personnel distribution. The core of this problem was whether those recruited from other worlds needed to be brought back to Danmachi world. After discussion, the four unanimously decided to respect the choices of those recruited. They decided to develop branches of Yahweh's familia in other worlds, not requiring them to come to Danmachi world. They would only need to help each other in times of danger. After all, everyone has their own ties in their original world. Making the abandonment of these ties a prerequisite for recruitment would be too cold-hearted.

The last and most crucial issue was how to maintain the effect of the "Falna" (God's Blessing). As a potential developer mediated by divine blood, the effect of the Falna needs to be maintained by a God. Normally, if a familia's main god died, the Falna on the familia's adventurers would be sealed until they joined another god's familia.

Of course, this limitation didn't apply to Mika. His dimension-crossing ability seemed to have some passive effects, allowing him to perfectly learn and fully integrate abilities from other worlds. Thus, Mika's Falna wouldn't be affected even if he freely crossed dimensions. Even the Falnas of Airmid and Mellie by his side wouldn't be affected. This meant Mika could replace Yahweh as the maintainer of the Falna.

However, if they developed branches in other worlds, once they left those worlds, the Falna of the branch members would be sealed. This would prevent them from successfully developing other members.

Initially, Mika and the others were hindered by this point, preventing their plan from proceeding smoothly. But now, after gaining Nen abilities, Yahweh had found a solution.

"Using communication devices as a blueprint, we'll leave a Nen-made signal transmitter in the starry sky of Mika's mental world, connecting to receivers in various other worlds, thus maintaining the existence of the Falna."

This was the method Yahweh devised after learning Nen.

To this, Mika couldn't help but quip, "Can Nen do everything?"

"In my hands, Nen can do anything!" Yahweh proudly declared.

So, before the dimension crossing, Yahweh completed the so-called signal transmitter and left it in the starry sky Mika used for dimension crossing.

"So, Mika, you have a target?" Mellie asked suddenly.

"Of course, and quite a few!" Mika smiled.

Looking at Mika's smile, Mellie exclaimed in surprise, "You're not planning to package up the entire Demon Slayer Corps, are you?"

"That's exactly right!" Mika admitted with a smile.

As the frontline heroes standing against demons in this world, the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps were undoubtedly gifted individuals with strong wills. Given a glimmer of hope, they could bloom with talent.

"So I've already arranged with the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. We'll lay our cards on the table in three days! For the current Demon Slayer Corps, anything that can enhance their strength is what they need."

"Then I'll have to take a good look these few days!" Gabriel said seriously, hands on her hips.

"Then take a good look, and don't forget to learn all their breathing techniques while you're at it!" Mika said with a smile, poking Gabriel's cheek.

...

After making the decision, the four of them began their actions.

As the core of the mission, Gabriel floated around various parts of the Demon Slayer Corps in her Nen form, looking for the Hashira who were still at the base.

Affected by the previous battle between Kyojuro Rengoku and Akaza, all the Hashira had returned to inquire about the details, so they were all gathered at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and hadn't left. This gave Gabriel the best opportunity for observation.

Apart from Gabriel, the other three weren't idle either.

Mellie found a room and settled in the Butterfly Mansion, reading various books she had collected during this trip. This was a habit she had developed since their time in the Hunter world. By reading books from various worlds, Mellie understood the world she was in more thoroughly. Additionally, there were various books on humanities. By reading these books, Mellie felt her knowledge was rapidly expanding. For her, who aspired to become a sage and strategist, reading had become an indispensable habit.

Besides her, Airmid had already become good friends with Shinobu Kocho during this time. As people who both studied medicine, they felt like kindred spirits. So, during this time, the two of them immersed themselves in the ocean of medical knowledge.

As for Mika? He was currently practicing the Breath of Flames.

As an adventurer who used fire magic, Mika felt that the Breath of Flames was more suitable for him than the Breath of Water in some ways. Therefore, in the few days before Airmid arrived, Mika had asked the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, to teach him various knowledge about the Breath of Flames.

Out of gratitude for Mika saving his life, Kyojuro Rengoku naturally wouldn't refuse his request. Moreover, given his personality, even without Mika's life-saving grace, as long as Mika was willing to learn, he would have taught Mika the knowledge of the Breath of Flames all the same.

"Huff... huff... huff!"

Experiencing the feeling of the Breath of Flames, Mika's lips curled into a slight smile. He could clearly feel that the fierceness of the Breath of Flames suited him very well.

Because of his experience in practicing the Breath of Water, Mika's progress in the Breath of Flames was rapid, advancing at an extremely fast pace.

Moreover, Mika also progressed very quickly with the nine Flame Sword techniques of the Breath of Flames.

Furthermore, to ensure that he could switch between the two different breathing styles at will without side effects, Mika also learned a transitional breathing technique from Gabriel.

Originally, it was a direct switch between the Breath of Water and the Breath of Flames, but now it became a transition from the Breath of Water to the transitional breath, and then to the Breath of Flames.

This way, the breathing transition, which originally had various side effects, became extremely perfect. This made Mika's transitions between breaths incredibly smooth and fluid.

"I can pass this transitional breathing technique to Tanjiro too. After all, this child seems to suffer from the pain of switching between two breaths. With this, his combat power should increase rapidly!" 

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mika's lips.

Soon, the three days passed.

The appointed time for Mika's meeting with the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, had arrived.

---

Led by the Kakushi, the logistical support unit of the Demon Slayer Corps, Mika and his two companions quickly arrived at their agreed meeting place. There, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, had been waiting for some time.

"This should be our first meeting, Mika!" Kagaya said. "Thanks to your help, Kyojuro and those two hundred passengers were able to survive unscathed."

After Mika and his companions were seated, Kagaya Ubuyashiki expressed his gratitude.

Looking at Kagaya Ubuyashiki across from them, Mellie and Airmid were both secretly surprised. The young man before them had a disfigured face and was blind. Yet, despite this, his words still made people feel extremely at ease. This person was born with the talent to lead others, Mellie thought to herself.

Faced with Kagaya Ubuyashiki's thanks, Mika shook his head and said calmly, "There's nothing to thank me for. Even without me, the Flame Pillar would certainly have saved all those passengers, not letting them perish in the mouths of demons."

"But without you, Kyojuro definitely wouldn't have come back," Kagaya replied. "The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps are all my children. The death of any one of them would make me sad, even though I will soon be joining them."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, showing no fear of death, had a smile all over his face. "Mika, we won't forget your help to the Demon Slayer Corps. However, I think what you want to discuss with me now isn't about the Demon Slayer Corps, is it?"

Even though he was blind, Kagaya Ubuyashiki still looked in Mika's direction.

"That's right!" Mika admitted directly. "What I want to tell the master about is my background."

Looking at the slightly nodding Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Mika couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, how could Kagaya Ubuyashiki not have suspicions about his background? Judging from his calm expression now, he must have already had some mental preparation.

After all, the panacea Mika used on Kyojuro Rengoku was indeed far beyond their imagination. In this world, those who could openly use supernatural powers should only be demons. If Mika wasn't unafraid of sunlight, people would probably have regarded him as a demon. After all, there was already the example of Nezuko, so it wasn't impossible for there to be more similar cases!

"But no matter how perfect your mental preparation is, you won't be able to imagine what comes next!" Looking at the attentively listening Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Mika said calmly, "I come from outside this world. I'm from another world!"

"Huh?" After a brief silence, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's composure broke. The calmness on his face was gone, replaced only by utter shock. Of course, it wasn't just Kagaya Ubuyashiki who was shocked; even his wife sitting beside him had the same astonished expression.

"Didn't you hear clearly? I said I come from outside this world, I'm from another world. Our world is a world where gods exist," Mika repeated, pretending not to understand their reaction.

"Wait, your not joking, are you?" The shock on Kagaya Ubuyashiki's face became more evident.

"I'm not joking. Everything I've said is the truth!" Mika's voice was serious and high-spirited.

"I'm sorry! What you said is beyond my imagination, causing me to misjudge you!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki apologized, hearing the seriousness in Mika's voice.

"Your voice tells me you're not lying," Kagaya continued. "I will now listen quietly to your explanation. Please do tell me the truth."

"I can understand your shock. Please believe that everything I say is the truth," Mika assured him. Of course, Mika wasn't really angry at them. After all, such a thing does indeed sound like a lie at first. But sometimes, the words that sound most like lies are actually the truth.

"Our world is a world where many gods exist. In that world, there is a city called Orario, known as the center of the world. We come from there!" In the following explanation, Mika introduced some general information about that world to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, including knowledge about the gods, familia, and the Falna.

"I see. So it's the existence of 'magic' that brought you to our world?" Kagaya asked.

"That's right!" In Mika's introduction, his ability to cross dimensions came from the Falna. After all, in his explanation, the Falna that gives ordinary people heroic powers comes from the gods' bestowal. As gods, isn't it natural to cross worlds? Then isn't it equally natural for gods to bestow similar abilities on mortals?

As a family cursed by heaven, the Ubuyashiki family firmly believed in the existence of gods, after all, the continuation of their family relied on the bloodline of the priestly family. Not to mention that Mika and his companions' main god was 'Yahweh'! That was the being revered as the one and only God. In the Bible, God is omniscient and omnipotent.

"I never imagined that your background would be so grand, being the familia members of a god. It feels somewhat unreal!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't help but marvel. He didn't fully believe Mika's words, nor could he fully believe them. After all, it was too intangible.

"It feels unreal because you haven't fully believed it yet. This is normal, after all, our background is indeed very abrupt to your worldview. But I can prove some of what I've said," Mika replied. "For example, magic!"

Turning his head, Mika said to Airmid, "Airmid, use magic on Master Ubuyashiki."

"Understood!" Airmid quickly responded.

After saying this, Mika turned back to Kagaya Ubuyashiki and explained, "Airmid's magic is healing magic. My arm that was completely shattered before was healed by her."

Hearing Mika's words, Kagaya's wife sitting beside him excitedly whispered in his ear, "Mr. Mika's arm has already fully recovered."

Recalling the report on Mika's injuries from the Insect Pillar, Shinobu Kocho, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice also wavered. "Then, please, Miss Airmid."

"No need to thank me, this is all at Mika's request," Airmid responded calmly, then began chanting her magic spell.

"Droplet of healing, tear of light, eternal sacred domain, call forth the light to play here. Three hundred and sixty-five melodies, the healing calendar will save all things."

"Then, come forth, break the evil. Bury the wounds, send away the illnesses, send curses to the other shore, send them to the pivot of light. In the name of the gods - I heal."

"Dia Fratel!"

Brilliant light shone on Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and a warm sensation flowed through his body.

At the same time, he clearly felt an itching sensation on his face and eyes that had been destroyed by disease. It was a sensation he hadn't felt in that part of his body for a very long time. Now, it had returned.

"Madam, please cover Master Ubuyashiki's eyes with cloth. He hasn't seen sunlight for a long time, and suddenly seeing light now would damage his eyes again," Mika reminded.

Hearing Mika's reminder, Amane Ubuyashiki quickly stood up, ran to get a long cloth from the room, and covered Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyes.

"Amane, how does my face look?" Kagaya asked.

Holding her husband's face, Amane Ubuyashiki excitedly said, "It's healed!"

"Hahaha! That's wonderful!" Kagaya exclaimed. "After thousands of years, now that the Demon Slayer Corps has gathered its strongest generation, we've finally gained the attention of the gods!"

"The long-standing wish of the Ubuyashiki family will definitely end with our generation."

"Muzan Kibutsuji, the judgment of the gods has arrived!"
