"Um... how about you guys help me think of something?"
When Chika said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they started to discuss it intensely. Among them, Miki was the first to raise her arm.
With his head slightly raised and a look of confidence and pride on his face, he said, "When Muzan was defeated, a beautiful rainbow streaked across the sky. In that case, shall we call him the 'Rainbow Pillar'?!"
Mitsuri's speech was undoubtedly a good start; regardless of whether it was adopted or not, everyone's enthusiasm was thoroughly mobilized.
Kyojuro Rengoku crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously, "How about [Radiant Pillar]?! A pillar that shines like the sun, I think it suits Chinatsu very well!"
Kyojuro's words drew gasps of amazement from the crowd. "Radiant Pillar" was another high-scoring answer, just like the previous "Rainbow Pillar." Either way, it would be a perfect fit.
"Since it's the last pillar, how about calling it the [Final Pillar]?"
"Chika is a [miracle]! So magnificent! I think it would be better to call her [Strange Pillar] or [Magnificent Pillar]!"
Opinions varied widely, but the discussion was harmonious because everyone thought each other's ideas were good. As for Chika, there were just too many titles that could be bestowed upon her.
Chika had also thought about it, for example, she had mastered "Sun Call" and "Moon Call", so according to the Chinese context, she could combine them to form the character "明" (bright).
This was the best answer Chika could come up with. Just as Chika was thinking about whether to make it "Mingzhu", she suddenly raised her head and looked at the lord who had the most say but had not yet spoken.
"My lord, what... do you think?"
Chika asked in confusion, only to see her lord immediately give her an expression that said, "I've been waiting for you to ask me that."
He squinted and extended a finger, saying calmly, "Dawn, sunrise, how about [Dawn Pillar]? The word 'Dawn' has the symbolic meaning of light, hope, and beauty. Not only does it have the meaning of hope, but it also shares the same pronunciation as the 'Xi' in 'hope.' I think the title [Dawn Pillar] suits Chika very well. Of course, in the end, it still depends on Chika herself."
Xizhu...what a good name.
This was an option that Chika had never considered before. As expected of her lord, she really knew how to choose a name.
Those around them couldn't help but nod in agreement upon hearing their lord's statement, thinking to themselves, "As expected of our lord, another perfect answer."
After a moment of contemplation, Chika grinned and gave her lord a big thumbs up.
Xizhu, it's confirmed!
Dawn breaks, the rising sun shines.
In the thousand-year history of fighting against demons, the last Pillar, the Miracle Pillar [Dawn Pillar], who brought hope to the defeat of Muzan, was recorded in the family archives of the Ubuyashiki clan.
Just as our lord said, although this history cannot be made public, it should not be forgotten. It is an ending that countless people paid for with their blood and passion, and it carries the will of countless people.
All of this will be recorded in the Ubuyashiki family's plan and passed down so that it will not be buried by the world.
Incidentally, the lord, now healthy again, has picked up his pen and started writing a novel, and what he's writing about is the relationship between demons and the Demon Slayer Corps.
However, this is ultimately just a novel, not a historical record. Therefore, the author has cut out a lot of content and added some original plots to make the novel more accessible and allow as many people as possible to know about the story.
During the Taisho era, the Demon Slayer Corps story was a huge hit!
With the establishment of the title "Dawn Pillar," the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters, which had been established for a thousand years, was disbanded. However, no one was saddened, because it was a perfect ending. After all, no one here became a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman simply because they liked killing demons.
The next day, in the morning.
Chika, who had almost emptied the headquarters' granary, got out of bed, stretched her limbs, and exhaled a breath of fresh air.
Chika is fully revived!
Now that Chinatsu has woken up, it's natural to have a party to celebrate Muzan's defeat. The party should have been held on the day itself, but Chinatsu ate too much that day and almost emptied the headquarters, so it had to be postponed to the next day.
Chika stretched her muscles, which hadn't been used much in the past year, in her room. Just as she was about to leave the room, her hand was already on the doorknob when her body suddenly stiffened and she stopped.
Despite her ability to easily gather all the information about her mansion, Chika still lowered her body slightly and pressed one ear against the door, just like a thief on TV.
"Tanjiro, I'm here. I hope I didn't disturb Chinatsu-nee..."
"Probably not, because if my sister had been woken up, her bedroom door would have been kicked open by now."
"Okay, let's go quickly then."
Tanjiro and Kanao's voices drifted softly from outside the door; their volume and words suggested they didn't want to wake Chinatsu.
Hmm! Good boy!
But... what's Kanao doing here?
After Qianxia raised her head slightly and thought for half a second, an exclamation mark appeared above her head, and she showed an expression that said, "I understand everything."
Good heavens! Good heavens! Good heavens!!!
In an instant, the words "Good heavens!" engulfed Qianxia's mind, like a herd of alpacas galloping through her.
Although a year is a long time, the part of the story where Tanjiro wins over Kanao's heart in the original work should not have appeared. Therefore, Tanjiro must have won over Kanao through other methods besides those in the original work.
Tanjiro, the Casanova!
Chika, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people outside from inside the door, looked so distorted.
In the original work, Kanao lost sight in one eye and had very weak vision in the other eye after activating her innate skill.
Tanjiro suffered severe facial injuries, losing sight in one eye and losing sensation in one arm, essentially rendering it useless.
At this moment, the two little rascals were peacefully "flirting" outside. Qianxia, who wrote "Xizhu" but actually "Kongzhu," said that she was really shipping them. It was so sweet!
In reality, Tanjiro and Kanao only agreed to go out to buy ingredients together in the morning, but Chinatsu carelessly ignored this part.
After Tanjiro and Kanao left the mansion, Chinatsu came out of the house. She watched the two figures disappear into the distance, her face showing the expression of an old mother watching her child grow up.
"Hooray! Looks like it won't be long before I'm holding my little nephew!"
