Hori Gaku had never expected that it was the most annoying guy, Fuzugawa Minoru, who had given him a subtle assist.

If he didn't use this assist to do something, Hori Gaku would be sorry for himself.

So, facing the gaze of Fuzugawa Minoru and the pillars, Hori Gaku smiled and said something that made people think:

"My relationship with Sister Shinobu... Anyway, I stayed in the Butterfly House last night."

This sentence is really explosive!

The pillars couldn't help but think of something wrong. Did Horitake move into the Butterfly House last night!? Are they already living together!? Isn't this too fast!? How come there was no news before!?"

Because the news was too explosive, the seven pillars present, except for Tokito Muichiro and Tomioka Giyuu who were completely out of shape, all had small eyes and stared at Horitake and Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho really couldn't keep the smile on his face, but he tried his best to maintain it. There was a well symbol on his head, and he explained to the pillars"calmly":

"Don't misunderstand me.���This guy came to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. He had no place to stay at night and was about to sleep on the street. I was kind enough to let him live in the Butterfly House."

Speaking of this, Shinobu Kocho held her face with one hand, with a"kind" face.":

"I wanted him to sleep in the woodshed, but my little Aoi was soft-hearted and let him live in a better room. It's really frustrating, because such a person should only sleep in the woodshed."

In response to the sarcastic remarks of Kocho Shinobu, Hori Gaku nodded and agreed completely:

"Yes, yes, thanks to Sister Shinobu's kindness and Xiao Kui's soft-heartedness, I am very grateful."

The pillars present are not stupid. After a few words between Horitake and Shinobu Kocho, they have almost figured out the relationship between the two.

It seems that Horitake wants to pursue Shinobu Kocho.

But Shinobu Kocho has not agreed yet.

I didn't expect that there would be such a romance drama among the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps!

Regarding the relationship between Horitake and Shinobu Kocho, the attitudes of the seven pillars present are different.

Iguro Obanai has some complaints about this.

Although he has no feelings between men and women for Shinobu Kocho, he at least has the feelings of comrades-in-arms, so he thinks this way:

Among the eight pillars of our Demon Slayer Corps, there is only one female flower, and you just came and want to pick this flower. Aren't you a little unkind?

Rengoku Kyojuro and Uzui Ten Yuan didn't feel anything about this matter, at most it was just some gossip.

Gyomei Hirame felt a little complicated, because he was the one who saved Shinobu Kocho and recommended her to the Demon Slayer Corps, so he was hesitating whether he should ask about Shinobu Kocho's future happiness.

Fushigawa Minoru felt even more strange, because he liked Shinobu Kocho's sister Kanae Kocho, but unfortunately Kanae died early, so when Fushigawa Minoru faced Shinobu Kocho, it was a bit like facing his own sister or sister-in-law.

But strictly speaking, he and Shinobu Kocho had this relationship, so Fushigawa Minoru felt that he had no right to ask about Shinobu Kocho's happiness.

As for Tokito Muichiro and Tomioka Giyuu... these two were completely out of shape, one was daydreaming, An indifference.

Just by looking at the faces of the pillars, Shinobu Kocho could tell what they were thinking, but she did not continue to explain, she knew that this kind of thing would only make things worse.

After staring at Horitake calmly, Shinobu Kocho also walked into the team of pillars.

In this way, except for Tomioka Giyuu and Horitake, everyone stood in a row, waiting for Ubuyashiki Yoya.

Horitake had no choice, because he was not a pillar yet, and it would be meaningless to stand in without permission. He could only stand aside and face the room like the other pillars.

Tomioka Giyuu was simply isolated.

Everyone was indifferent and silent. After waiting for about a few minutes, Ubuyashiki Yoya finally appeared!

Supported by her two daughters, Ubuyashiki Yoya walked out slowly..

It is worth mentioning that Ubuyashiki Teriya followed Yoya, he did not support Yoya, but acted like an independent little adult.

Horitake instantly understood Yoya's intention, this was to prepare for the training of the next generation, and it was also Yoya's plan to gradually delegate power.

Yoya and Teriya walked to the corridor, and the pillars knelt on one knee in front of Yoya and saluted, calling him Lord.

Hmm? When did Tomioka Giyuu return to the team? It seems that he is not completely unconscious. Horitake did not kneel like before, but bowed and bent over.

Seeing Horitake's special way of saluting, the pillars looked sideways.

Uzui Tengen was born a ninja, and his concept of hierarchy is stronger than that of ordinary people. He couldn't help but remind Horitake in a low voice:

"Hey, Horitake, aren't you being a little rude?"

Horitake was unmoved, his tone was calm but firm:

"Please forgive my inexplicable pride. There are some things I cannot explain, but this is my insistence and bottom line. However, my respect for the Lord is no less than that of you."

The pillars keenly observed that Horitake called Yoya"Lord Lord" instead of"Lord Lord", and they were all surprised.

Logically, Fuzuigawa Shima, who had the most bad temper, should have lost his temper, but he also noticed something unusual. At least the Lord Lord had no objection, so he did not say anything.

Yoya stood in the corridor, looking at the pillars and Horitake, and smiled from the bottom of his heart:

"My children, get up quickly."

The pillars stood up and looked at Horitake calmly. Just now, Horitake was even more out of place than Tomioka Giyuu.

Yoya took the initiative to help Horitake out and explained:

"What you don't know is that Horitake's father is from the sovereign country across the sea, so strictly speaking, Horitake is also from the sovereign country, and there is no need to pay respect to me."

The pillars suddenly realized that if this was the reason, they could still accept it.

At this time, Yaoya expressed his thoughts again:

"In fact, in my heart, you are all my beloved subordinates, all my cherished children, and there is no need to perform formalities with me, just respect in your heart."

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and shed tears, chanting the Buddha's name, while refusing:

"My Lord, this is wrong. Etiquette cannot be abolished. My Lord has worked hard for the Demon Slayer Corps and given everything. It is right for us to respect and love him. Amitabha……"

The pillars nodded in agreement and kept echoing them.

They insisted on doing so, and Yoya had no choice but to accept with a wry smile.

Hori Gaku was thinking on the side.

He couldn't kneel, he had his own persistence and pride.

But it was not good to be so out of tune all the time. There would be many more pillar meetings in the future, and every time the pillars saluted, he would be the only one standing aside, which was a bit embarrassing.

In the long run, he would have a rift with the pillars, which would be detrimental to the battle situation.

He had to think of a way.

After thinking about it, Hori Gaku had a solution that was not a solution, and he planned to implement it later.

Just like that, the pillar meeting of the Demon Slayer Corps officially began.

First of all, the first thing of the meeting was about Hori Gaku.

Yoya's spirit became visibly excited. He looked at Hori Gaku and said to the pillars:

"I'm sure everyone knows that a few days ago, Hori Gaku killed Tamakura of the Upper Rank Five in Asakusa, Tokyo!

The stalemate of the Upper Ranks that lasted for hundreds of years was finally broken! Hori Gaku became the first swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps to kill an Upper Rank in all these years! His contribution is outstanding! With such great contributions and such strong strength, as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, I have to promote him.

Therefore, I decided to promote Hori Gaku to the ninth pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, with the title: Heavenly Pillar!"
