Multiversal Chat Group: The Cultivator

[Lu Mingfei]: "Where's the beauty? Where's the beauty?"

[Group Leader Ren Asakura]: "Knew you'd be the first to react."

[Minato Namikaze]: "Didn't the group leader go to Mr. Yoriichi's world?"

[Yoriichi]: "Just a friend!"

[Saitama]: "Looks like the group leader activated something."

[Lu Mingfei]: "It's a livestream… seems like an immersive one. Never tried it before!"

[Group Leader Ren Asakura]: "Come on, let's all play together. Your great group leader will take you on a tour."

—

Tamayo invited both of them inside.

The small room was neat and clean.

Ever since escaping Muzan's control, Tamayo had always been alone.

After all, she was a demon.

"Mr. Yoriichi, and this gentleman is…?"

Tamayo turned to Ren Asakura and asked.

Ren grinned and introduced himself.

"Ren Asakura. Not from this country. I came here to help Yoriichi take down the Demon King."

Tamayo looked at the seemingly ordinary young man before her, feeling a bit puzzled. She didn't know much about the outside world—only from old texts did she learn of an Empire overseas.

As if reading her mind, Ren continued explaining.

"Don't overthink it. Just see me as Yoriichi's friend! I'm here to help."

Though still full of questions, Tamayo understood that Ren was an ally brought in by Yoriichi.

She then served them both tea.

Seeing the youthful Yoriichi intrigued Tamayo.

Muzan could turn people into demons using his blood, preserving their youth, but at the cost of never being able to walk in sunlight.

But it was clear that Yoriichi wasn't like that.

He had truly regained his youth.

When they first met, Tamayo already knew that Yoriichi was someone capable of slaying Muzan.

Yoriichi took a sip of tea and got straight to the point.

Just then, several translucent figures suddenly appeared beside Ren Asakura.

They looked like holographic projections, flickering faintly in the air.

The first to appear was a scruffy young man, his face full of excitement as if he had just discovered some futuristic technology.

This was Lu Mingfei—his messy hair, skinny frame, and casual clothes made him look rather carefree. He was even wearing slippers.

"Group Leader! I'm here! This group's functions are insanely high-tech! It's way better than the most advanced 3D tech!"

Then, Lu Mingfei's gaze landed on Tamayo, whose entire presence exuded elegance and warmth.

He blurted out in amazement,

"Is this… the legendary Yamato Nadeshiko!?"

Ren Asakura knew that "Yamato Nadeshiko" referred to the ideal gentle and elegant woman, a highly admired archetype in Japan.

Lu Mingfei, that hardcore otaku, sure knew a lot of random things.

Then Ren remembered—Lu Mingfei had actually taught himself Japanese just so he could understand anime better.

At that moment, a bald figure appeared.

A perfectly smooth, egg-like head, lifeless fish-like eyes, and a tight hero suit with a white cape draped over his back.

It was none other than the Caped Baldy, Saitama.

The moment Saitama arrived, he curiously looked around.

"This world really is different! And what kind of high-tech stuff is this?"

Then, he glanced at his fist.

And right after that, another figure appeared—Minato Namikaze.

A bright and cheerful young man with golden hair that shone like the sun, his ever-present gentle smile making him instantly approachable.

He was still wearing the signature Fourth Hokage cloak.

This was the first time everyone was meeting face-to-face.

Naturally, they all curiously sized each other up.

Lu Mingfei was the first to break the silence.

"Whoa! It's really the Fourth Hokage!"

Minato looked at his projected form in amazement.

"This is incredible! My real body is still in my world, yet I can see everything here as if I'm actually present."

Saitama nodded, excitedly waving his limbs.

"This is so fun!"

Just then, Lu Mingfei seemed to have discovered something interesting.

He deliberately walked into the table.

Since their projections were nothing more than holograms, they couldn't physically interact with objects in this world.

"Haha! I glitched through!"

Lu Mingfei laughed while halfway stuck in the table, then casually walked through a chair as well.

Yoriichi, witnessing such a bizarre sight for the first time, couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

Ren Asakura smirked in amusement.

However, Tamayo couldn't see anything.

Seeing the look in Yoriichi's eyes, she glanced around in confusion.

There was nothing strange in her house… was there?

"Mr. Yoriichi, is something wrong?"

Tamayo asked softly, her voice gentle and soothing.

Hearing that, Lu Mingfei's heart started pounding.

"As expected of the group leader—when there's a beauty, we all get to enjoy it! And that voice… it's heavenly!"

Tamayo's gentleness and elegance, combined with her extraordinary beauty and refined demeanor, made her truly one of a kind.

Even at Shilan High School, where beautiful girls were everywhere, there wasn't a single one who could compare to her.

Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei declared,

"As expected, 2D is the best! Long live anime waifus!"

Ren Asakura let out a sigh and muttered under his breath,

"This damn otaku is losing it again…"

"Hmm?"

Tamayo looked even more confused.

It was Yoriichi who spoke up to smooth things over.

"It's nothing, Miss Tamayo. Let's continue discussing important matters. If I remember correctly, you mentioned before that in order to create a cure to turn demons back into humans, you need Muzan's blood."

Tamayo nodded.

The problem was, obtaining Muzan's blood was nearly impossible.

She couldn't do it alone.

And at their current strength, neither could the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Mr. Yoriichi, ever since you defeated Muzan last time, he has gone into hiding. Finding him again is nearly impossible. However, the Twelve Kizuki also carry Muzan's blood—though in a diluted form. We might be able to use them as an alternative source."

Tamayo explained her thoughts.

She had actually sought help from the Demon Slayer Corps before.

But after Kokushibo wiped out the corps and killed the Ubuyashiki Clan, the organization had weakened significantly.

The Breathing swordsmen had been almost entirely eradicated by Muzan.

Tamayo's research had practically come to a halt—she could only continue developing poisons specifically targeting demons.

Seeing Tamayo's worried expression, Yoriichi spoke calmly.

"Don't worry, I can locate Muzan. This time, I will end him completely. But the Twelve Kizuki will also be an obstacle. That's why, after I defeat Muzan, I hope you can develop a cure to turn demons back into humans."

Tamayo's eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

"Mr. Yoriichi… you've truly found Muzan's location? That's incredible! That wretched man deserves to die!"

Just the mere thought of the monster who turned her into a demon ignited Tamayo's deep-seated rage.

Yoriichi nodded.

"This time, I won't let him escape. Is there anything you need to prepare, Miss Tamayo?"

Tamayo thought for a moment before replying.

"Mr. Yoriichi… we may need to pay a visit to the Demon Slayer Corps."
