Hashira Meeting

The four Earth Humans—Cyros, MoonShadow, Raiden, and Ignis—gathered in a quiet restaurant in Tokyo. It had been two months since their last meeting, each having gone their separate ways to gather information.

As they sat down and ordered their meals, the talk turned to the matters at hand.

MoonShadow was the first to speak, her voice soft but clear. "I followed Tanjiro into the Swordsmith Village. Though there were a few changes, most things played out according to the original timeline.

The two Upper Moon demons attacked, and demon Nezuko conquered the sun. Muzan should be aware of it by now."

With her ability MoonShadow and powerful stealth skills, it wasn't difficult to follow humans. Unlike demons, she can follow them during the daytime without any issue.

Cyros leaned forward as he spoke. "I joined the Demon Slayer Corps to gather information on Anomaly Ryou. He's considered a legend among the people of the Demon Slayer Corps.

There's no doubt about his strength, having killed Akaza and Gyutaro, two Upper Moon Demons.

I've pinpointed a potential location for the Nature Manor where he resides. We could use that as leverage to join the demons' side when required.

Raiden and Ignis exchanged glances before shaking their heads. Raiden spoke. "We couldn't find anything on Upper Moon One Kokushibo or Doma. If we inquire further, we'll draw attention—from both the demons and the Demon Slayer Corps."

Cyros spoke. "No problem, we expected this. Let's stick to the original plan—follow the demon slayer Kaigaku. In the original timeline, he crossed paths with Upper Moon One and became a demon.

If nothing goes wrong, we'll meet Kokushibo if we follow him.

We can't approach the demon as a group of four. I'll make contact alone and offer to become a demon, saying we've discovered the existence of demons and seek immortality and otherwordly strength.

Once I display some of my strength, he'll definitely recruit me."

He paused before continuing. "Once I'm a demon, I'll bring the three of you in. With Muzan occupied with finding Nezuko, the Ubuyashiki family, and the Demon Slayer Corps, he won't pay much attention to us.

With the power of a demon, Blood Demon Arts, and our own abilities, we'll be able to take on the Anomaly Ryou—if we strategize correctly."

The group exchanged glances, each giving a small nod of approval. They understood the risks of becoming demons, but none of them were afraid.

The reason for their confidence lies in the fact that their origins and memories of Earth are guarded by the World System. Not even Muzan could uncover their true identities, even if they become demons.

This protection is a basic protection given by Earth's will, ensuring the original worlds don't spiral into chaos upon learning their situation.

It's also the reason that when they descend into a Fictional world, they are given new identities, complete with fabricated childhood memories provided by the World System. This helps them blend seamlessly into the world.

After finishing their food, the four left the restaurant, determining their next course of action.

The next morning, Ryou received a letter from Tamayo about her recent discoveries and thanked him for providing the blood of Upper Moon demon Akaza, which had a high concentration of Muzan's blood.

She explained her analysis: 'Nezuko's blood is changing rapidly and had the potential to conquer the sun. And, it may happen very soon.'

She urged Ryou to keep Nezuko hidden from demons' sight as there's a possibility Muzan will come to find out about her through demon blood connection.

If Muzan discovers her trait, it would spell disaster and there's no telling what he would do to get her.

Reading her letter, Ryou shook his head and wrote his response.

'You're too late, Tamayo. Nezuko has already conquered the sun. Muzan knows about it. You know what this means, the battle between humans and demons is coming. 

Humanity needs your help, Tamayo. It's time for you to come to the other side. If you combine your knowledge with Shinobu, who has mastery in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, you could make significant progress in your research.

With your connection to Tanjiro, the Demon Slayer Corps may already know your existence, they will eventually discover your location and invite you to join them. When that happens, accept it.

If they don't reach out soon, I'll personally explain your situation to Ubuyashiki. Don't worry about your safety, no one will do anything to you with me here!'

After sending the letter, Ryou set off from the Nature Manor to attend the emergency Hashira meeting summoned by the Ubuyashiki family.

Next Morning,

The Hashira gathered at one of the Ubuyashiki mansions for the meeting. When Ryou arrived, he saw Kanae, Giyu, Mitsuri, Muichiro, Gyomei, Kyojuro, and Tengen already present. Sanemi and Obanai were the only ones missing.

A few minutes later, Sanemi and Obanai arrived. "So, we're the last ones, huh?" Sanemi muttered, sitting down casually, unfazed by his lateness.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting," Obanai apologized, taking his seat.

"No problem. Well done on your mission!" Gyomei commended them for their efforts.

Once settled, Sanemi turned his gaze to Mitsuri and Muichiro. "So, you two really fought Upper Moons? For real?"

Mitsuri nodded enthusiastically. "Yup! They were incredibly strong. I thought I was done for, but somehow we managed."

Muichiro simply nodded, "Yes."

Sanemi sighed in frustration, "I'm jealous. Why haven't I encountered any Upper Moons?"

"It feels like almost everyone's run into one," Obanai added, before asking, "Are you both alright? How are your injuries?"

Mitsuri's face brightened, "Oh! I'm much better now, thank you for asking." Her cheeks flushed slightly, her heart fluttering. 'He's worried about me,' she thought.

Muichiro, in his usual calm tone, responded, "I'm better, but I haven't fully healed yet."

With his hands gently clasped together as though in prayer, Gyomei said. "I'm relieved nothing happened to you both, even though you encountered the Upper Moons."

Kanae, noticing their conditions, added, "It's good to see you both recovering well, but it seems your wounds healed quickly. It's abnormal. Shinobu is concerned about the unusual rate of recovery.

If you feel anything off, consult with her immediately." Both of them nodded.
