[Do you know the Demon Slayer Corps from many years ago?

Do you know the nine pins from many years ago?

Do you know all the various things about ghosts in the past?

If you don’t know, please – please look forward to the movie “My Killing Career”! 】

Tomioka Giyu: ...

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the big screen in the yard suddenly flash a few times, and then a rhythmic male voice suddenly came from the screen.

He looked at the big screen with some confusion, and then looked at his colleagues with an especially puzzled look.

Of course, this look doesn't mean that to Fuzuigawa Shigeya. To the other party, Toioka Giyuu's look means: What did you do?

He suddenly became furious, and put his hand on the handle of the Nichirin Sword, showing a vigilant look: "You are late again, Tomioka bastard... How do we know what this thing is?!"

The story begins a month ago.

A month ago, Zhongzhu received news from the rook: an unknown large object suddenly appeared in the lord's yard - it looked like something similar to a television. According to a certain Yin who worked in the lord's mansion, he happened to want to go to the toilet that night, but when he was passing by the yard, he suddenly saw the entire sky suddenly torn apart, and a black hole appeared. Immediately afterwards, the TV-like thing seemed to be suddenly thrown out of the opening and landed in the yard.

Ryogoku Kyojuro, who is in charge of investigating this matter, said: "Hmm! Is that so? Did you see anything else?"

The hidden person who wanted to go to the toilet but accidentally witnessed the first scene: "No more."

Also investigating with Rengoku Kyojuro, Gyoumei of Beiming Island said: "Amitabha, did it hit anyone?"

Yin shook his head: "I didn't see it, so there shouldn't be any."

After investigation by Rengoku Kyojuro and Beimingshi Gyoumei, this TV-like thing has nothing to do with ghosts, but why it landed in the lord's yard is still unknown. They wanted to move it away - after all, it was not a solution to keep it in the lord's yard - but unfortunately, this thing was too heavy, and the nine pillars couldn't lift it together. Even if they used a knife to chop it, it would suddenly turn into a phantom, and it was not affected at all. In the end, they could only let it stay in the lord's yard for the time being.

A week ago, Tomioka Giyu was patrolling a remote mountain. Just when he had just put away the Nichirin Sword and decided to let the non-cannibal ghost girl and boy go, he suddenly received a message from the raven:

The big screen in the lord's yard suddenly flashed, accompanied by a harsh "sizzle" sound. Please ask the nine pillars to return to the lord's yard immediately and prepare to convene a nine-pillar meeting.

"Oh, Mr. Tomioka is late again." Shinobu Kocho stared at the screen and explained to the confused Giyu Tomioka, "This screen was flashing when we first arrived this morning. Just two minutes before you arrived, it suddenly went black, and then there was the sound you just heard."

Tomioka Giyu nodded to show that he understood. Although Fuzugawa Miyako wanted to mock the Water Pillar again for not taking them seriously, the big screen was more important at the moment, so he just snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

Then, there was another crackling sound, and the picture suddenly appeared on the big screen.

[My Life as a Demon Slayer] It was still the same male voice that had just been heard. [It was adapted from Zenitsu Agatsuma's "Demon Slayer Chronicles". It has seven chapters in total, namely: The Beginning, Spider Mountain, Infinity Train, Yukaku, Swordsmith Village, Training, and Battle. We will tentatively treat it as seven movies. Currently, only the "First Introduction" will be released in five days.]

As soon as these words came out, the Nine Pillars were on full alert. Although they didn't know what the so-called Beginning Spider Mountain in front and behind was, they were very familiar with the Forge Village in the middle.

The Sword Forging Village is where the craftsmen who made the Nichirin swords they used in battle lived.

"After all, it is very likely that a ghost did it!" Iguro Obane stared at the big screen, his hands tightly gripping the Nichirin Sword, as if the sword would be unsheathed in the next second.

"But it still doesn't seem like it." Shinobu Kocho said, "Demons don't know exactly where the Forge Village is. Besides, demons can't conjure up such a big screen."

"Hmm!" said Rengoku Kyojuro, "We should be careful! Could it be a blood demon technique?"

[“Very good!”]

Different from the previous male voice, this time the male voice sounded particularly... familiar? A man suddenly appeared on the screen. He was wearing a suit, with his white hair hanging down lazily without a bun. Although he looked different from his usual appearance, everyone was immediately surprised - this, this is not...

"Uzui?" Fuzugawa Miyabi's face was filled with shock. "Why are you on top?"

"Huh?" Uzui Tengen smacked his lips. "How would I know something so unglamorous?"

[Uzui Tengen] above continued: "Hello everyone, I will be the one to broadcast the interactive live broadcast space today... I think this news is great! Think about it, since the opening chapter has been released? Then are the next six chapters still far away?"

"First, let me introduce myself in a fancy way." [Tengen Uzui] held the microphone, "My name is Tengen Uzui! You can tell from the name, I am Tengen Uzui, the actor of the Sound Pillar in "My Life as a Demon Slayer". Although that's my name, I don't have three wives. Please swear at Agatsuma Zenitsu, the author of the original work, or you'll have to pay me some money. Now, people call me 'the man with three wives' every day."

Almost at the same time he finished this sentence, eight large characters appeared next to [Uzui Tengen]: A man with three wives. 】

There was silence for a moment, and the eyes of the other eight pillars all fell on Tengen Uzui, even Tokito Muichiro who liked to daydream was no exception.

Uzui Tengen: ...

"This is so unglamorous!" The words that he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. In the end, Uzui Tengen was so dry that he could only utter a complaint.

Everyone changed the subject at the same time, pretending not to have seen the eight words. "Where is the lord?" Kanroji Mitsuri asked with a blushing face, "Have you reported to the lord?"

"I've already said that," Iguro Obanei replied, "The lord should be here soon."

[“Of course.” [Uzui Tengen] said, “I’m not the worst. If you ask me, it should be Tomioka—after all, my role is still in the later part, and the current ridicule of me is limited to those readers who have read the original work. But Tomioka is different, after all, he appeared in the first scene. In the trailer, he stood for almost half of the scenes.”]

Tomioka Giyu: ...

At once, eyes of sympathy, surprise, and happiness all turned to him. But they didn't stay on him for long, as the lord arrived soon.

When Sanyashiki Yoya came, the nine pillars immediately squatted down and greeted Sanyashiki Yoya. The wind pillar, Fuzugawa Saneya, said first: "My lord, I am so glad to see you. I sincerely wish you all the best in the future."

Kouyashiki Yoya smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Shimizu."

Kanroji Mitsuri pursed her lips: I was greeted first again...

The screen didn't care what they were doing and continued playing.

[[Uzui Tengen]: "But Tomioka has been doing pretty well lately - just based on the trailer, he seems to have gained a lot of female fans. Ah, but if you ask him when he will come to the live interaction...hiss, he seems to be traveling with his brother. As for tomorrow's interaction members, I have to tell you gorgeously, it's Purgatory."]

Rengoku Kyojuro: "Hmm! My Lord, may I ask what is playing on this screen..."

Kouyashiki Yoya shook his head. "It doesn't look like a ghost has done this. Children, just watch it for now."

[“Let me tell you about my evaluation of this movie…” [Uzui Tengen] touched his chin with his right hand, “I can only say that the original book is an extremely sad and heroic book. So during the filming process, many of our emotional actors cried while filming. For example, when filming the first scene, Tanjiro was probably completely immersed in the situation and cried his eyes out.”]

Tanjiro? Tomioka Giyuu frowned and thought: This name sounds familiar.

[“Fortunately, the ultimate villain boss, Muzan Kibutsuji, was finally defeated. This is really very gratifying.”]

Immortal Kawa Saneya: "Kibutsuji Mukai..."

Kouyashiki Yoya murmured to himself: "I was defeated..."

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together, tears streaming from his pupil-less eyes: "Amitabha..."

Shinobu Kocho clenched her teeth: Muzan Muzan has been defeated, so what about...that ghost...the ghost that killed my sister?

Were you also knocked down?

Tokito Muichiro stared at the screen, blankly, not knowing what he was looking at.

At this moment, all the complaints in Uzui Tengen's heart disappeared. He even wanted to jump into the screen, pinch the neck of [Uzui Tengen] inside and shout: Tell me how Muzan Muzan was defeated! Tell me more!

Tomioka Giyuu lowered his eyes: Finally...

[“Very good.” [Uzui Tengen] nodded with satisfaction, “Looking at the backstage data, my live broadcast today was pretty good. If you have any questions…”]

Nine Pillars: We want to ask, we want to ask! How was Muzan Muzan defeated?

[“Then just hold it in for now. When Purgatory comes tomorrow, you can ask Purgatory about it.”]

Nine Pillars: ...

What everyone was thinking did not reach [Uzui Tengen]. After saying this, [Uzui Tengen] ended the live broadcast cleanly, and the entire big screen went black again, returning to silence.

Everyone's gaze turned to Yusui Tengen.

Uzui Tengen: ...

Tengen Uzui: So why should I be responsible for the mistakes made by Tengen Uzui?
