Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

The commotion in the yard naturally attracted many. 

Even Kanae, who was being helped by Shinobu to prepare for Isao's journey, also came out hurriedly. "What's happening?" The word "Iinuma" quickly attracted her, so even if she had trouble walking, she quickly came to the yard to see what was happening. 

Shinobu also followed, feeling quite helpless since Kanae wanted to give all of their money to Isao. She tried to stop her and told her to leave some of the money since they also had to eat and take care of everyone that lived in their Butterfly Manor, yet unexpectedly, Isao made trouble! 

Still, when Shinobu learned everything, she got angry with the Hashira group since they seemed to be ganging up on Isao. 

Yes, Isao was bad, but he was the man chosen by her older sister, so she also felt angry when he was surrounded by everyone like this. 

"What are all doing?!" 

At this moment, the situation in the yard was quite solemn. 

With Isao there stood with ease, there was all the Hashira present except for Kanae, who stared at him with hostility, especially Tengen, whose tooth was broken and had his guts kicked by Isao. 

The atmosphere grew tense, and a fight could break out at any moment, but no one moved as if waiting for the cue. 

Naturally, when Kanae and Shinobu came, she attracted everyone's attention. Moreover, as they were the owner of this manor, the opinions of the two were important, considering what would happen in this place. 

"It's fine, Kanae." Isao's expression didn't change much. "Some weaklings can't stand me and just ask for trouble this morning, and I am going to teach all of them a lesson." 

"—?!" 

Even if Isao was surrounded by seven Hashira, he didn't show fear, and his attitude was even condescending, as if he was walking in the park and saw a few cats that gathered together to lick each other's wounds. 

Hearing his words, naturally, all seven of them were furious, but they had their own different expressions. The three were more expressive and showed anger and hostility on their faces. One had a smile, yet his fighting spirit was blazing. One was crying while saying something like a Buddha sutra or something similar. One was staring at the sky, and the last was in silence, but it was easy to tell he was ready to fight. 

Still, they couldn't argue with Isao's words since they knew that they had come with a purpose to trouble Isao, but they didn't expect that Isao would be so lawless, uncontrollable, and arrogant. When they thought that they would slowly expand their conflict after Tengen fought Isao so they could see how strong Isao was, and then they would come one by one to fight him. 

However, Isao directly beat up Tengen and then provoked all of them to fight him together, telling them that it was a waste of time. While they might be kind toward the other members of the Demon Slayer since they were comrades who fought together to fight a demon, it was impossible for them to have a good impression of Isao, who kept provoking them and acted rudely toward Kagaya. 

"You guys, what are you doing?!" 

Nevertheless, Kanae was angry at the seven of them who tried to provoke Isao! 

After spending a night with him, she knew that Isao wanted to leave for Tokyo, ready to start a new chapter for the two. He was ready to work hard for the two, so how could he have time to trouble others? 

Instead, she knew that the ones who made trouble were definitely the seven of them! 

"Kocho-san..." 

The seven of them were stunned by Kanae's anger, and at the same time, they also noticed that Shinobu didn't say anything. Such hostility never appeared on the two Kocho sisters, which made them feel like Isao had changed the two of them and he was really in trouble! 

Isao wasn't sure what was on their minds, but he knew that they were wasting his time. 

"Come on. If you don't move, I will make a move now." 

"....." Everyone. 

"Isao..." Kanae looked at Isao helplessly, but in the end, she decided to believe in him. 

Watching all of this, they felt speechless, but then, a man with burning-like hair, the Flame Hashira, Kyoujuro Rengoku, who had been smiling, stepped forward and said, "How about we introduce each other first? You don't know our names yet, right?" Unlike the others, he was pretty chill and just wanted to test Isao's skill since Isao was the first person to get the Demon Slayer Mark after hundreds of years. 

The tall, muscular young man with many scars on his entire body, Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, had been holding two wooden swords and ready to fight, but hearing Kyoujuro's words, he fell in silence and didn't mind having an introduction first. 

The rest was also the same since this way, Isao could remember the name of the person who had defeated him. 

Serpent Hashira, Obanai Iguro, a young man of short stature, pale skin complexion, and a snake on his neck, stood quietly on the corner, giving Rengoku a face, but his eyes never left Isao and stared at him dangerously. 

The Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, appeared serious and emotionless, but his heart was blazing. He stared at Isao, unconvinced, as he could not accept that someone like this was able to have the Demon Slayer Mark. 

The Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, the one that was slapped by Isao, also didn't say anything, but his hands were in his pockets, ready to attack anytime when the time came. 

The Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima, kept chanting some sutra without even stopping as if everything had nothing to do with him. 

The Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, stared at the clouds and the sky as usual. 

Still, as the seven stood while facing Isao, there was no doubt that even if they had different reactions, they all wished to fight him and prove that the Demon Slayer Mark was nothing and show that even if Isao had defeated the Upper-Rank Second, Doma, it didn't mean that he had a right to be conceited in front of them. 

Yet—

"You don't need to. I don't have a hobby to remember the name of the small fries." 

Their values would disappear after Isao replicated all of their DNA, so there was no need for him to meet them anymore. Moreover, he knew their names, so what was the point of introducing each other?

Was this a blind date? 

Still, as Isao was a good guy, he had a duty to teach them that there was someone they couldn't provoke no matter what. 

"..." Kanae and Shinobu. 

"..." Everyone. 

"Don't get ahead of yourself, you bastard! Do you think you have defeated me because you slapped me? You are wrong! Once I use all of my power, you are going to be the one who is sorry and beg for mercy!" Tengen was the first one to react since his ears were better than everyone else's, and he was the one who was beaten by Isao. 

The rest didn't say anything, but their eyes clearly told them their intent to fight. 

However, as Tengen wished to have his revenge, they were going to let him beat Isao first. 

Yet—

"Hahahahaha!" 

Rengoku suddenly laughed freely, looked at Isao with a smile, and said, "You are good at talking, but Hashira isn't something that you can't underestimate." 

Taking a deep breath, his lungs expanded, his blood flow accelerated, and his heart beat even faster. 

Total Concentration Breathing. 

There was no hesitation, and everything was done naturally, without a single mistake. 

At that moment, Rengoku disappeared and left a trail of flames, raising his fist, ready to strike down Isao. 

Yes, he was angry. 

Not only because of Kagaya but also because they were underestimated. 

As Hashira, all of them had been working hard, and their fight had always been covered by tears and blood. Naturally, the power they gained also made them able to protect everyone, and because of that, he wasn't going to let Isao mock them any longer! 

At the same time, the moment Rengoku moved, the others were surprised since they didn't expect him to move without any precautions and make such an attack, but they also felt relaxed since they knew that as long as Rengoku moved, Isao's defeat was confirmed. 

While Hashira might be the strongest Demon Slayer within the Demon Slayer Corps, it didn't mean their strengths were similar. Instead, some of them were stronger than others, and Rengoku was the contender for the strongest. 

No one doubted Rengoku's strength, and the power of the Flame Breathing wasn't something that could be defeated by this arrogant young man! 

Fast and powerful. 

Instantly, Rengoku appeared before Isao and was ready to take him down, but—

"You are so slow." 

"?!" 

"Guwah!" 

Rengoku saw that his fist had missed, and at the same time, Isao kneed his solar plexus. A sense of powerlessness spread throughout his entire body, and he had an urge to pass out, but how could he be defeated like this? 

Everyone's burden was on his back, so he had to win! 

Rengoku forced himself to stand up, but then his chin was struck down!

Isao sent a jab at Rengoku's jaw and sent another chop on his neck, shaking his brain before he grabbed his head and slammed him into the ground! 

"...." 

Everyone lost their voices, forgot to talk, and only watched everything in disbelief. 

Even Tokita also had forgotten about the sky and the clouds, watching how Rengoku, who had been defeated by Isao, was surprised. 

Their expressions became tense as they saw Rengoku, who passed out like a dead pig on the ground after being beaten by Isao. 

[You have acquired the DNA of Kyoujuro Rengoku.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

There was no hesitation on his mind. 

Still, Isao looked at everyone with a bored expression and said calmly, "My time is precious. Go and attack me at the same time." 

"......." 

They swore to beat this guy up!
