Chapter 218: Farewell and Miraculous Medicine Afterward, at Kagaya's request, Riezel helped all the Hashira remove the Demon Slayer Mark from their bodies. It was understandable, as it was a deadly ability, after all. If Riezel hadn't helped them remove the Demon Slayer Mark, they wouldn't have lived past twenty-five years old. Moreover, Gyoumei, who was already twenty-seven years old, would have died immediately without any luck. Since the birth of the Demon Slayer Mark, only one person managed to survive with it, and that was Yoriichi. Riezel didn't know how Yoriichi managed it, as the original work didn't ever mention it. Perhaps Yoriichi survived because his Demon Slayer Mark was naturally born with him, so it didn't exhaust his lifespan, allowing him to live. Or perhaps he had found a way to neutralize its side effect before turning twenty-five. In the end, no matter what reason, Yoriichi was Yoriichi—his existence was special and a genuine cheat that the Hashira could not compare at all. For this reason, continuing to keep the Demon Slayer Mark would only lead to their demise. In this way, Riezel used the Decomposition Magic to decompose the Demon Slayer Mark on the Hashira. As a result, the Hashira could all live past twenty-five years old without a problem, but similarly, without the Demon Slayer Mark, their strength was greatly reduced, almost returning to their original state. Without the Demon Slayer Mark, the Hashira couldn't even use the Bright Red Nichirin Sword, and only the Transparent World remained usable among the three abilities. However, since Tengen, Shinobu, and Mitsuri didn't even have the Transparent World, they were the ones who truly reverted to their original state. Nevertheless, with demons now nonexistent, they no longer needed such abilities. And so, with the Demon Slayer Corps officially disbanded, all Demon Slayers would put down their swords and return to normal society, living normal lives. Kyoujurou would inherit the Rengoku family's business, attempting to transform his long-standing family of Demon Slayers. He apparently intended to open a dojo where future apprentices would come to learn his family's swordsmanship, making the dojo the main focus of the Rengoku family. Shinobu would continue to manage the Butterfly Mansion, but it would no longer serve just the Demon Slayer Corps. It would now cater to the general public, treating people's illnesses. Obanai seemed determined to confess his feelings to Mitsuri, so if they were to marry soon, it seemed likely. On the other hand, since Tengen was already married with three wives, the four of them planned to settle down somewhere and live a secluded life. Gyoumei, Sanemi, and Muichirou expressed their intention to remain with the Ubuyashiki family, continuing to serve it. As for Giyuu, he seemed to want to return to his master, so what he would do in the future, only he knew. As the Hashira each made their own plans, Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and Inosuke also planned to return to the Kamado family with Nezuko to go back to their old lives. Of course, after the disbandment of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Ubuyashiki family wouldn't ignore them—whether it was the Hashira, Tanjirou and the others, or even the ordinary members and the Kakushi. From the start, the Ubuyashiki family had planned to help them integrate into normal society and live normal lives, at least financially, ensuring they wouldn't have to worry for the rest of their lives. Under these circumstances, even the Swordsmith Village was preparing to open up to the outside world. They would no longer hide but would rely on their forging occupation as their main economic source, serving the whole country. With the assistance of the Ubuyashiki family, everything would proceed orderly in the future. It could be said that those who survived would have a bright future ahead, living their lives worry-free. Kagaya, Kyoujurou, Tanjirou, and the others had asked Riezel about his plans for the future, but he simply replied with one sentence. "I'll return to the place where I belong." Riezel said only that and thereafter said nothing more. However, one thing was certain—his mysterious answer left Kagaya, Kyoujurou, Tanjirou, and the others with a feeling that once he departed, they would never meet him again. Nevertheless, they did not dwell on this feeling excessively. === Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Swordsmith Village, everyone gathered together to bid farewell. "Us Ubuyashikis will always remember you, Your Excellency." "...Whether it's me or Yushirou, if there's a chance to become human again, we won't hesitate." Tamayo nodded gently. "Creatures like demons shouldn't exist in this world any longer." Muzan's death had eradicated all demons, except for Tamayo and Yushirou. Using her medical knowledge, Tamayo had seized the opportunity centuries ago to transform her body and free herself from Muzan's influence when he was severely injured by Yoriichi and too weak to control her. As for Yushirou, he was the only demon in this world who wasn't transformed by Muzan's blood. He was transformed into a demon by Tamayo when he was dying, thanks to her centuries of research on demons. Because of this, Muzan's death didn't affect these two. Now, only Tamayo and Yushirou remained as demons in this world, while all others had vanished. Apart from Riezel, few knew about this fact, except for the Ubuyashiki family. However, Kagaya seemed unwilling to interfere with Tamayo and Yushirou. From this, it was clear that Kagaya chose to trust Tamayo, believing that even as a demon, she would not fall into depravity. Needless to say, Tamayo and Yushirou could live on as demons forever, never aging or dying. Tamayo also knew of the existence of the Blue Spider Lily, so with her medical abilities, developing a drug to overcome sunlight wouldn't be difficult. In time, Muzan's dream of eternal life and perfect existence could be realized through Tamayo and Yushirou. Yet, Tamayo seemed reluctant to do so. It was clear that she didn't want to be a demon but wanted to return to her origins as a human. Even if it meant a limited lifespan, it didn't matter to her. Having avenged her deep-seated grudge and lived in this world for centuries, she had had enough. Now, she only wished to pass away peacefully as a human. With Tamayo making this choice, it was natural that Yushirou couldn't continue to live as a demon by himself. With this in mind, once the effects of the demon transformation cure were fully confirmed and no problems arose, both of them would likely take the cure directly and return to being human. In that way, the last two demons in the world would disappear. "Please take this." Tamayo suddenly handed a small bottle to Riezel. "What's this?" Riezel took the bottle and asked confusedly. "This is a medicine I developed by thoroughly diluting Muzan's blood. It can temporarily give humans a regenerative ability comparable to a demon's—the only one of its kind in the world." Tamayo explained slowly. "If you take it, even the most severe wounds will heal instantly, and it can even revive people who haven't been dead for too long." A medicine that could revive people! Seeing such a miraculous medicine in his hand, Riezel couldn't help but be amazed! "Consider it a token of my gratitude to you." Tamayo bowed to Riezel, bidding farewell. "If fate allows, maybe we'll meet again." With that, Tamayo disappeared with Yushirou. Riezel watched them leave, and after a long while, he finally stored the medicine away.
