Quest 2 Complete

Seeing Rio completely clueless, Oyakata-sama smiled and gave an explanation:

"Hashira (Pillar) is the 9th strongest member overall in the entire Demon Slayer Corps, and is often considered the most skilled swordsman among all the other Demon Slayers."

"Therefore, their existence literally sustains the entire organization and losing even one Hashira is a huge loss for the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Besides thanks to you, Kanae handed over the information of Doma, Rank 2 Upper Moon Demon. Shin, do you know how valuable the Upper Moon Demon's information is?"

Rio shook his head again and said honestly: "I don't know."

Seeing Rio's ignorance, Oyakata-sama wasn't angry at all and went back to giving an explanation.

"Among all the Demons, Kibutsuji Muzan formed the Twelve Demons Moon consisting of the strongest beings among the Demon types, second in strength and authority after him."

"The Twelve Demons Moon are also divided into two groups namely, Upper Moon Demon numbered one through six, and six Lower Moon Demons also numbered one through six."

"That number signifies their rank among the Twelve Demons Moon, determined by each member's level of strength."

"The Upper Moon Demon becomes the strongest and the Lower Moon Demon becomes the weakest. Lower Moon Demons have the number and rank engraved in only one eye, while Upper Moon Demon have the number in one eye and the kanji for Upper Ranks."

Oyakata-sama stopped talking, a sad expression appeared on his face before he continued speaking:

"In the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, Hashira has killed many Lower Moon Demons over the years, while Upper Moon Demon have killed and eaten a lot of Hashira."

"In the past 100 years, the Lower Moon Demon has been replaced many times, while the Upper Moon Demon has never been replaced."

"We have very little information regarding the abilities and appearances of the Upper Moon Demon members because the Demon Slayers who met the Upper Moon Demon never returned alive."

"Now that we have the Rank 2 Upper Moon Demon's information, Shin, how important do you think that is?"

Oyakata-sama finished his explanation and looked at Rio who was digesting the information he just obtained.

After a while, Rio spoke: "That's very important, in a prolonged war, every information is very valuable for victory."

Oyakata-sama nodded satisfied with Rio's answer. "That's right, at least if Hashira meets Doma, they already know what action to take."

"Kanae mentioned you wanted to get a promotion?" Oyakata-sama asked curiously.

"Yeah, can Oyakata-sama give me a promotion to at least Kanoe rank?" Rio immediately stated his goal.

"Shin, don't be so rude." Kanae reminded from the side.

To ask for promotion rankings blatantly like this, Kanae felt that Rio was too shameless.

Rio ignored Kanae's warning and waited for Oyakata-sama's decision.

"Shin, what is your current rank?"

"Mizunoe." Rio answered Oyakata-sama's question.

"Alright, you will get the promotion you want." Oyakata-sama agreed to promote Rio.

"But..."

The corner of Rio's eyes is twitching at this moment, he feels Oyakata-sama is playing tricks on him.

Even though only one eye is still functioning properly, Oyakata-sama can judge Rio being annoyed right now even without expression.

"Itsuka Shin, you did not join the Demon Slayer Corps for long. But you have exterminated more than 60 demons, more than half of the demons, you exterminated during the Final Selection on Mount Fujikasane."

"Not only that, you saved the life of Flower Hashira, Kocho Kanae of the Rank 2 Upper Moon Demon and brought Doma's ability information."

"To be able to return alive after meeting the Upper Moon Demon, this also shows your own talent and strength."

"You have contributed a lot to the Demon Slayer Corps, so I will promote you to Hinoto Ranks!"

As Oyakata-sama was promoting the rank to Rio, a Reincarnation Room notification sound sounded in Rio's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing Quest 2]

"Shin-kun, quickly thank you for Oyakata-sama's generosity."

Seeing Rio like in a daze, Kanae nudged Rio's arm which woke him up.

"Thank you very much Oyakata-sama."

Rio hastily lowered his head and thanked him, this ranking exceeded his expectations.

Oyakata-sama gave a small nod and smiled gently accepting Rio's expression of gratitude.

"Then excuse us to go, we don't want to disturb Oyakata-sama and Amane-sama."

Since business was done, Kanae bid farewell and pulled Rio out of the room.

After Rio and Kanae left, Oyakata-sama looked at his wife and asked:

"Amane, what do you think of the young man named Itsuki Shin?"

Amane, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Emotionless."

"I see… You feel it too."

Oyakata-sama was not surprised by his wife's answer because he also felt the same way.

Rio and Kanae ran for 2 hours back to the Butterfly Mansion.

Upon arriving in front of the Butterfly Mansion's courtyard, Kanae asked:

"What does Shin think of Oyakata-sama."

"A kind person." Rio replied without hesitation.

"That's right, Oyakata-sama is very kind to everyone, he even--"

"Then I'll go back to my room first."

Before Kanae could finish her sentence, Rio said goodbye and walked to his treatment room. He was too lazy to hear Kanae babble.

"Mooo… Shin is so cold." Kanae complained.

Rio pretended not to hear and continued on his way.

Arriving at his treatment room, Rio took off Haori and Nichirin's Sword, and placed them on the table.

Lying on the bed, Rio opened the Quest list.

"With this I have 26,000 Reincarnation Points and also I have the highest Demon Slayer rank among the players."

"Now that all the quests have been completed, I don't have to worry about completing the quests anymore. Now I just need to hunt down as many demons as possible to get as many rewards as possible to increase the rewards I receive."

Rio plans to start the Demon Hunt tomorrow until the 2 month quest time limit runs out.

"Shin, you are so mean to leave me alone, I haven't even finished talking."

Just as Rio was about to rest, he heard the sound of the door opening and Kanae walking in while complaining.
