Not only the Shinazugawa brothers, but everyone except the lord also bid farewell to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters on this day and began their normal lives, which had nothing to do with life and death.
Of course, the Kamado trio also bid farewell.
Although only the three members of the Kamado family remain, the wooden house on the mountain is still their home.
They left home with a clear conscience, and since that's how it is, they should go home eventually. Besides, their family members' graves are located next to their home, so it's only right and proper for them to go back and let the family know they're safe.
"Tanjiro, Nezuko, are you ready?"
Outside Chika's residence, a relaxed Chika turned her head and shouted urging people to hurry inside.
"It'll be here soon! It'll be here soon!"
A few minutes later, Tanjiro walked out of the mansion carrying a large pile of luggage, and behind him was Nezuko holding the konpeito she had just bought a while ago, which she hadn't finished eating yet.
Chika frowned slightly as she looked at the amount of luggage Tanjiro was carrying.
Where did we get so much luggage?
"Sister, most of this stuff is money."
"………………"
Never, ever try to judge the lord's financial resources. The "retirement pension" given to the Demon Slayer Corps members is extremely large, almost to the point of splitting the family fortune.
Money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it.
Leaving aside the future value of the gift that the lord gave to Chinatsu, just the tangible money in Tanjiro's luggage is enough to ensure that the Kamado family won't have to worry too much about money for generations.
Those who have visited the Kamado family are both ambitious and capable. With this money as start-up capital, even if they can't create a behemoth like the Ubuyashiki family in the future, they will definitely be able to become a moderately wealthy family.
"Ahem, Tanjiro, you'd better protect him well."
Chinatsu coughed awkwardly, and Tanjiro nodded seriously. But actually, there was no need to be so serious. At Tanjiro's current level, even if the robbers had guns, it wouldn't seem to be of much use.
The Kamado trio arrived at the entrance to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters once again. They had already bid farewell to their master beforehand, and everyone else except them and their master had already left the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
The three of them turned around and looked at the environment inside the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. Rather than feeling nostalgic and reluctant to leave, it was more like they were saying goodbye to their previous life.
"Alright, let's go."
Chinatsu said softly, and Tanjiro and Nezuko nodded slightly before following behind her, heading towards their house.
The distance between the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and their home was not short at all. If they hadn't brought any luggage, it would have been fine, as they could have run there. But carrying luggage full of money made it much harder to run... at least not too fast.
From the moment they set out in the morning until nightfall, the group traveled along country lanes, searching for a place to spend the night.
After all, hotels aren't everywhere these days, and there are no mobile map navigation systems to tell you the location of the nearest hotel.
If it were just Chinatsu and Tanjiro, then they could just make do. But Nezuko should try her best to find an inn. Nezuko isn't a demon anymore, so she can't shrink and live in a wooden box like before.
Just as Chika was wondering where to stay, a series of exclamations drew their attention.
"Big sister! It's really big sister!!!"
Upon hearing the exclamation, Qianxia and the others immediately turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a boy and a girl standing there.
When Chika and the others turned to look in that direction, the excitement on the faces of the boys and girls there intensified. They waved their arms and shouted towards Chika.
Chinatsu and the others turned to look at each other a few times. Chinatsu and Tanjiro both felt that the boy and girl over there looked somewhat familiar. At their call, Chinatsu and the others quickly walked over there.
"It really is the older sister and older brother from back then. Have you forgotten me? You were the ones who saved us back then."
The boy grinned and pointed to himself with one finger, but seeing Chinatsu and Tanjiro's puzzled expressions with their arms crossed, he knew he had to do something else to awaken their memories.
She cleared her throat lightly, mimicking Chika's mannerisms, and confidently said, "[What I mean is that it's pointless for you to join the Demon Slayer Corps, because the era of demons will soon end, and even if you join, there won't be any demons for you to kill.]"
After the boy's performance, Chika suddenly realized who the boy and girl in front of her were.
[A house with wisteria flower crest!]
It was the group of children that Inosuke saved during his first encounter with the Drum Demon. After defeating the Drum Demon, one of them went to Inosuke's house for a meal and said that he also wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps. The words the boy just said were the same ones that Chinatsu had said in response.
Before I knew it, I had arrived here...
Fortunately, they ran into acquaintances. At the invitation of the young boy and girl, Chika and the others stayed at their house for the night and had dinner there.
Of course, this wasn't for nothing. Seeing that they hadn't started making dinner yet, Qianxia immediately took on the task of cooking dinner.
Under the superb culinary skills of Master Chef Chika, even those who weren't hungry would become hungry, and those who were already hungry would start drooling.
Not long after, Qianxia came out of the kitchen carrying plates of dishes with ordinary ingredients but excellent color, aroma and taste. The fragrant aroma was truly irresistible.
"I'm going to start eating!"
The boys and girls excitedly grabbed their chopsticks and began frantically devouring the food on the table. To unsuspecting outsiders, this scene seemed comical, but to those in the know, it was perfectly normal.
"By the way, big brother, big sister, I remember you're from the Demon Slayer Corps, right? Did you come here because there are demons appearing in our area again? But I feel like things have been pretty peaceful in our area lately."
While chewing his food, the boy couldn't help but ask Chika and the others questions. After all, the presence of ghosts nearby was no small matter. They were people who had escaped death from ghosts and had a psychological trauma about them.
But there's nothing to be afraid of now...
Hearing the boy's question, Chika slowly put down her chopsticks and explained with a smile, "There are no ghosts here, not now, and not ever again. Don't you still remember what I said back then? The era of ghosts has ended..."
