Swordsmith Village, let's go!
"Swordsmith Village?"
The best way to give him the best weapon was to talk it to the master, and even if Isao wasn't even a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya was going to give everything since their goal was the same: to kill (devour) Muzan Kibutsuji.
Moreover, the impression given by Isao kept changing.
From a coward who didn't want to give his life for a greater cause to an alien who couldn't be understood by the social norm.
For these people in this era, Isao was probably an alien, someone that they couldn't understand, yet even so, he attracted them. He couldn't be seen; it was pitch dark, like a black hole that had absorbed everything in his surroundings.
Yet, if Isao knew what they thought about him, he would cry since he was working hard to become a good guy, but why was he compared to the black hole?
Shouldn't they think of him as a sun who warmed everyone with his kindness?
Fortunately, no one said it out loud and kept everything in their hearts.
At the same time, while Isao was different, they could imagine that he existed like the creator of the original breathing style, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
However, their style was different.
If Yoriichi was bright, the sun, who gave hope to everyone during their nightmare, then Isao was the night, the darkness that gave terror to the demon.
Yes, Kagaya thought so.
If they couldn't be the light, then they might as well turn into the dark, giving the demon the terror that they had never felt before.
Yet, if Isao knew what they thought once again, he would cry even harder since he was a good guy!
Fortunately, Isao wasn't fussy, and his thoughts quickly attracted him to the new vocabulary that came out of Kagaya's mouth.
If it were others, they would be confused about what kind of place the "Swordsmith Village" was, but Isao knew this place well, as it was where all the weapons for the Demon Slayer Corps were created.
If the Demon Slayer was the strongest warrior in the world, then the blacksmith in the "Swordsmith Village" was the best blacksmith in the world.
Their way of creating metal... Isao was greedy for it.
Oh, that wasn't a good choice of words.
Instead, he had always believed that the development of humanity couldn't escape from science, and for the future of humanity, he believed that he should get his hands on the methods of those best blacksmiths.
"Yes, it is a place where we get our weapons..."
As usual, Kagaya gave a perfect explanation, such as how NPC is in the RPG game. Nothing was left behind, and he told Isao everything.
"Do you think it is okay to bring me there?"
Isao felt weird since this guy didn't mind getting him into such a secretive and precious place.
The weapon of the Demon Slayer was the core of everything.
Yes, they might have the breathing style, but without a good weapon, it would be hard for them to defeat the demon.
"It's fine, isn't it? I don't mind. In the worst case, if the demon knows that place, we can relocate to the village, and even if the demon comes, you can kill them."
If Muzan or any other of the upper-ranking demons found out that place, it would be even better since, by then, Isao could defeat all of them.
While Kagaya didn't express it truthfully, his trust in Isao was high.
This wasn't only due to Isao's connection with Kanae, who had made her pregnant, but also due to his strength.
Not only didn't Isao lack money, but his strength was also monstrous.
If there was a problem, it was Isao's situation, who might die at 25 years old, but Kagaya could see that Isao didn't seem that disturbed by this fact, and he could see the confidence in this young man that he could solve this problem of his.
Moreover, if there was something that made Kagaya think that Isao wouldn't betray them and become a demon, it was Isao's attitude to be unwilling to stand below.
The position of the demon was a hierarchy, and Muzan had always been on the top. Those who became demons, whether they wanted it or not, would become his servant, especially when the Curse of Muzan would always reside on their bodies the moment they became demons.
Unless Muzan erased that curse, it was impossible for Isao to become a demon, but could Isao even trust Muzan?
So, this was how Kagaya always trusted Isao, but he felt that this wasn't enough, so because of that—
"Kanroji, can you accompany him to the "Swordsmith Village"?"
Kagaya's trust in Isao was so high at that moment that he forgot that Isao refused his invitation to join the Demon Slayer Corps because Isao was afraid to die.
"Eh? Me?" Kanroji, who had been gingery and watching the interaction between Isao and Kagaya with a smile, was surprised and pointed at herself in confusion, wondering why she had been chosen.
"Can you?"
"O-Okay! I-I will do it!"
However, as she was chosen, she had to do her best!
"If you wish, you can also bring everyone with you. There is a hot spring there. You can rest peacefully," Kagaya said smoothly, preparing for a luxury trip for Isao and his harem to a hot spring resort (village).
Isao looked at Kagaya in a daze and thought that this guy really had a way with the heart of people.
Yet, this was how it was to communicate with him.
Talk normally.
Unfortunately, many people couldn't talk to him normally, which made him sad.
"Okay, I will do that." Isao nodded while wondering what kind of weapons he should ask for a craft.
Nevertheless, the others were surprised by Kagaya's decision, but for Kagaya, it didn't matter since if the "Swordsmith Village" was destroyed, he could create another village.
Or rather, he had already prepared several villages that could be lived in by those blacksmiths anytime their village was destroyed.
Kagaya might not have power, was weak, and might even die anytime, but his money definitely couldn't be underestimated.
However, to use his money smartly, he had to invest it in the one that would bring him the greatest gain.
The Demon Slayer Corps and those who became the Demon Slayer were his small investments.
However, Isao would be Kagaya's greatest investment.
Frankly, if Isao wanted his wife and child, Kagaya wouldn't refuse him.
Fortunately, Isao was a good guy, so he didn't have such a strange request.
With all of that, Isao prepared for his trip to the "Swordsmith Village," and naturally, he returned to the Butterfly Manor, inviting Kanae to go with him.
"Sorry, I can't go. I will help the others first."
Kanae felt bad when she thought she would leave all of those wounded to stay with her man.
"I see..." Isao sighed helplessly. "That's a shame."
"Well, there is no need to be disappointed, right? Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma will go with you." Kanae then looked at the three widows and said, "Please take care of him during the trip, okay?"
"Yes, leave it to us, Kanae-sama." 3x
The three answered at the same time.
Watching their conversation, Isao thought that Kanae was really wife material as she let him bring the three widows to take care of his everyday matters.
Shinobu's lips twitched and wanted to stop them, but Kanae said, "Shinobu, stay with me, okay?"
"But..."
"Stay with me."
"....." Shinobu.
Kanae smiled, then looked at the new face among Isao's group. "Kanroji-san, please take care of everyone, too, okay?"
"Ye-Yes!" Kanroji nodded, feeling a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, and caused her large breasts to shake violently due to her excitement and nervousness. "I-I will take care of everyone! I will protect everyone!"
Everyone smiled at how cute and pure Kanroji was.
Unfortunately, this pureness might be tainted by this bastard.
Isao wasn't sure what everyone was thinking, but he could tell that everyone was looking at him.
'Well, aren't you all excited about this trip?'
Well, he, too, was excited.
"Okay, let's go to Swordsmith Village!"
"Oh!"
Kanroji was also excited, but she could see that compared to Hinatsuru, Makio, and Sume, her excitement seemed nothing. Regardless, while she was excited about this trip, she wished to learn from Isao, too~!
Ah, she wanted to become stronger, and it definitely wasn't something else.
