Chapter 24 - The Dimensional Passage Connecting Two Worlds

"Those two really get along well."

Kamado Kie, bringing over food, looked at the two in the distance and smiled warmly.

"Youth is wonderful. It's just that Lin Chen seems a bit..."

Tanjuro, with his Transparent World eating melon seeds, used his great wisdom to guess their thoughts with about eighty to ninety percent accuracy.

Miss Fujiwara naturally had favorable feelings—perhaps not yet love, but certainly a beautiful starting point.

As for that Lin Chen kid, he could only say he wasn't an honest child like his Tanjiro.

However, Tanjuro wasn't someone who liked to gossip, so he ultimately swallowed his words.

After lunch, Lin Chen had an extra small tree branch in his hand.

The teaching play with Secretary Fujiwara started anew.

Watching Secretary Fujiwara's slightly flushed face as she worked hard to maintain standard form.

For a moment, Lin Chen actually felt a sense of guilt.

He felt he was somewhat evil.

But there was no choice—as a transmigrator with no background whatsoever.

Naturally, he had to tightly hug the local rich lady's thighs.

His moral baseline could be lowered a bit more.

Moreover, Lin Chen quite enjoyed interacting with these anime characters—after all, they were once his 2D waifus.

To quickly achieve cultivation success and visit more anime worlds, he could only make Secretary Fujiwara suffer for now.

Let me bear the infamy.

What Lin Chen didn't know was that Secretary Fujiwara's heart was just as conflicted as his at this moment.

Clearly, it felt very embarrassing, but there was an inexplicable excitement in her heart.

'Ah, Kaguya-san.'

Secretary Fujiwara wailed inwardly, yet her mouth said one thing while her body honestly perfected the Dance of the Fire God under Lin Chen's tree branch teaching rod.

The Kasugai Crow's speed was slower than Lin Chen had imagined.

It wasn't until nearly evening.

After Lin Chen and Secretary Fujiwara had finished their dance teaching mini-game.

That a Kasugai Crow from the Demon Slayer Corps side finally arrived.

"Caw caw."

The Kasugai Crow called out in the air, then spoke like a human.

"Urokodaki Sakonji."

"Urokodaki Sakonji."

"Master wants you to bring Miss Fujiwara and the Kamado family to the Pillar meeting location. He will be waiting for you there."

The Kasugai Crow called out in the air.

Urokodaki Sakonji nodded toward the Kasugai Crow.

The Kasugai Crow was extremely intelligent, understood Urokodaki Sakonji's response, then flew away.

"Let's depart tomorrow."

After glancing at the sky, Urokodaki Sakonji spoke to Tanjuro and Lin Chen.

If it were just Lin Chen and the others.

They could naturally travel at night without concern.

But now, after all, the Kamado family still had children and women.

They had already traveled for a full day to Mount Sagiri yesterday. More high-intensity travel would be too much for them.

Naturally, Lin Chen and Tanjuro had no objections.

Early the next morning, they had already begun traveling.

This time's pace was considerably faster than last time.

Because this time, they didn't bring along all those miscellaneous household goods from before.

Urokodaki Sakonji had made it very clear.

Money, goods, and such—once they reached the Demon Slayer Corps, naturally people would arrange everything for them.

The Ubuyashiki clan had quite the capability in this regard.

The Demon Slayer Corps had been able to exist for so many years.

The biggest reason was that the Ubuyashiki family was truly very wealthy.

Basically all the temples in this country.

Belonged to the Ubuyashiki clan's assets.

They themselves were great nobles from a thousand years ago, continuing until now.

Even though the Ubuyashiki clan was short-lived, they hadn't declined.

Precisely because they had money.

So they invested large amounts of capital to unite Demon Slayer Corps members.

The Demon Slayer Corps' logistics basically covered the entire country. Though it was a civilian organization, its influence behind the scenes was actually quite substantial.

If they were truly penniless poor wretches.

The Ubuyashiki clan would have long since been wiped out by this strange disease.

So Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly once again.

If his starting transmigration had been into a young master of a wealthy clan in the high-martial world.

He wouldn't be struggling so much now.

Not to mention transforming into Homelander, but at least he'd be a Happy Superman.

Resources plus a cheat—easy takeoff.

Then wildly opening harems across various anime worlds.

Unlike now, where he couldn't even count as Careless Superman.

Urokodaki Sakonji led Lin Chen and the others into town.

During this period, this world's technological level wasn't particularly developed, but trains had already appeared.

Trains plus carriages—by evening, Lin Chen and the others had arrived before a large estate.

This estate full of Japanese-style architecture was where the Ubuyashiki resided.

It was also the place the Demon Slayer Corps used to hold Pillar meetings.

"So it's here."

Fujiwara Chika looked at the Japanese-style estate before her, suddenly understanding.

"What?"

Lin Chen asked.

"This is where the dimensional passage connecting this world to our world is located."

"Sensei, you didn't know?"

Secretary Fujiwara leaned close to Lin Chen's ear, speaking softly with a somewhat boastful tone.

She had previously followed her grandfather here to have specialized Pillars teach her suitable breathing techniques.

But she really didn't like martial training.

"The dimensional passage connecting the Demon Slayer world and the high-martial world."

Lin Chen was shocked.

This news coming from Miss Fujiwara's mouth had quite high credibility.

"Ubuyashiki Kagaya truly is a person of courage."

Lin Chen suddenly felt admiration in his heart.

Whether this estate existed when the dimensional passage appeared, he wasn't sure.

But what he was sure of was that after the dimensional passage appeared, Ubuyashiki still worked here.

That really said something.

First, it was definitely to watch over the passage, preventing people from the high-martial world from entering and leaving this world as they pleased.

This did have an effect—even the Fujiwara family needed to go through the Demon Slayer Corps to find people.

Though Lin Chen didn't know why the high-martial world indeed hadn't invaded this world with its not particularly high power level.

Second was for Muzan.

If one day Muzan was attracted to Ubuyashiki, even if he killed Ubuyashiki, Muzan would enter the high-martial world's line of sight.

At that time, Muzan's fate would definitely be quite miserable.

Using himself as bait—Ubuyashiki Kagaya truly was this level of ruthless person.

In the original work, he had done exactly this.

Using his own life and his wife and daughter's lives as the price to lure Muzan.

Using high-intensity explosives to fire the first shot of the Infinity Castle final battle.

"Fate."

Lin Chen increasingly felt the traces of destiny in the Demon Slayer world.

Or perhaps there really was a deity secretly watching over this world.

The Ubuyashiki clan had been cursed.

But over a thousand years, tormented by the strange disease, with generations short-lived, they had continued generation after generation without break.

Basically, whenever major events occurred, a wise family head would appear to lead the Ubuyashiki clan out of crisis.

Hundreds of years ago, when Kokushibo betrayed them was one time—that time nearly wiped out the Demon Slayer Corps.

A child took over as family head and managed to suppress the Demon Slayer Corps' objections and let Yoriichi leave.

This time was the same—Ubuyashiki Kagaya was indeed a wise family head.

In the original work, it was also under his leadership that this generation of the Demon Slayer Corps completely exterminated Muzan.

Ending nearly a thousand years of destiny.
