Ubuyashiki The mansion stands on a secluded piece of land, a magnificent and imposing structure. Its exterior is meticulously crafted from bricks and wood, exuding an ancient and elegant atmosphere that proclaims the wealth and nobility of the family to the outside world.
The interior of the mansion is even more luxurious, with every detail, from the high ceilings to the intricately patterned floors, showcasing the family's prosperity.
However, behind this seemingly perfect building, there is a chilling secret hidden. Even the servants in the mansion only know a little about it, and the true secret is known only to the head of the Ubuyashiki family, Kagaya.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya sits in his private room, facing an ancient desk. On the desk are some ancient books and the family genealogy, as well as a bronze hand mirror, a treasure passed down through the family.
Kagaya looks a bit haggard, as his body has been constantly affected by a curse, causing him to feel the approach of death prematurely.
Kagaya mutters to himself, "This curse will end someday."
At that moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Kamado Tanjiro and Hijou Feiye walked in. Tanjiro was wearing his distinctive green and black Check pattern ed clothing, with a sword hanging from his waist, while Feiye was wearing the modern clothes she had brought from her time, which stood out in this era.
Tanjiro smiled and said, "Sorry to disturb you, head of the household. We have arrived."
Kagaya looked at them, then nodded: "Please sit, I want to talk to you about something."
After the three of them found their seats, Kagaya began to speak.
"You should know that our Ubuyashiki family has been plagued by a terrible curse since ancient times. The origin of this curse can be traced back to a thousand years ago, when Kibutsuji Muzan became a demon," Kagaya took a deep breath and continued.
Tanjiro showed a surprised expression: "Merciless is your ancestor?"
"Yes, he is the ancestor of our Ubuyashiki family. After he turned into a demon, our entire family seemed to be cursed by the heavens. Every generation of males cannot live past thirty years old, and their deaths are extremely terrifying," Kagaya said with a hint of desolation in his tone.
Tanjiro frowned and asked, "So, head of the household, what does this have to do with Merciless?"
"This is what I wanted to talk to you about. According to our family records, this curse was triggered by Merciless's disrespect for the will of heaven, leading to divine punishment. But I always feel that things are not that simple," Kagaya said, looking deeply at Tanjiro and Feiye.
Hijou Feiye gazed at Kagaya and asked, "Are you saying there might be other reasons?"
"Yes. In fact, our family has a secret. Every member of the Ubuyashiki family awakens a special ability called 'peculiar function' at a certain time. This ability gives us intuition to predict the future and sense danger," Kagaya opened a drawer and took out a small box.
"So, this ability is the reason your family has survived countless disasters?" Tanjiro asked curiously.
"Not bad, this is also one of the reasons we were able to accumulate so much wealth. But it cannot break the curse," said Kagaya.
"So, head of the household, how have you managed to continue the family's bloodline to this day?" Feiye asked.
"Feiye asks a good question. Considering that the male descendants of the Ubuyashiki family have very short lifespans, in order to continue the family's bloodline, the Ubuyashiki family followed the advice of the priests and arranged for the male members of the family to marry the female members of the priestly clan in each generation. In order to completely eradicate the demons, the two clans stood together as allies, united in their common enemy."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya answered Feiye's question.
After the three of them finished their conversation, Tanjiro and Feiye stood up, bowed to Ubuyashiki Kagaya to express their gratitude, and then left the mysterious room.
At night, Feiye flipped through the ancient documents of the Ubuyashiki family, and the brown parchment emitted a unique ancient scent.
She was sitting in the private library of the Ubuyashiki family, with an exquisite tapestry hanging on the wall depicting a scene of a samurai bravely fighting in battle. Her gaze was sharp, and her face was full of concentration and determination.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya walked in silently, his gaze sweeping over the ancient books in Feiye's hands. He smiled slightly and asked, "Have you found something interesting?"
Feiye turned around, locking eyes with Kagaya. She nodded and said, "Just as you mentioned before, Merciless—the ancestor of your family, is also the root cause of the curse on your family."
Kagaya walked over and sat on the sofa next to Feiye. He lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Yes, this is the history of the Ubuyashiki, a truth that even I am unwilling to face."
"This story begins in the Heian period, with the rise of the Ubuyashiki family..."
A thought flashed through Feiye's mind as she gazed at the tapestry, as if she could travel back in time.
She imagined how proud and arrogant the Ubuyashiki family was during the peaceful era when various clans coexisted. Their territory was vast and their wealth abundant, but everything became precarious due to the appearance of one person—Kibutsuji Muzan.
At that time, Muzan, a young man not yet twenty years old, unexpectedly fell seriously ill, plunging the once proud family into an unprecedented crisis.
"How many doctors did his family find for him?" Feiye asked.
Kagaya frowned slightly. "Too many to count, but none of them could cure him until that doctor appeared."
"Is that doctor really kind, or does he have ulterior motives?" Feiye raised a question.
Kagaya gave a bitter smile, "That's not important anymore, because he has let Merciless taste the power and the taste of blood."
In those days, the Ubuyashiki family hired a doctor who claimed to be able to cure Muzan.
This doctor used various medications, but was never able to cure Muzan, and ultimately even worsened his condition. As a result, Muzan killed the doctor, and it was from that time on that he became a demon.
After killing the doctor, Muzan's condition not only did not worsen, but miraculously began to improve. His skin became even paler, and his strength grew, but he found that he needed to consume more human blood to maintain this state. He also began to fear sunlight.
Muzan discovered that the last medicine mentioned in the doctor's notes is the blue spider lily. There is no indication of where to find it or how to grow it, so he is more convinced that in order to overcome sunlight and evolve into a perfect being, he must find this flower.
Feiye was shaken to the core upon reading this.
Kagaya continued, "After that, he not only became a ghost, but also a great ghost who manipulated other ghosts. He even tried to control the entire the Ubuyashiki family and make them his minions. But our ancestors discovered his abnormality, so Muzan killed the family members and burned down the mansion. Later, the surviving members who were fortunate enough to do business outside rebuilt their power in another place."
"Subsequently, Muzan became even more powerful and bloodthirsty," Feiye said solemnly.
"Yes, he found an even more sinister method, which is to use blood to create more demons, and then use them to search for the blue spider lily, in order to achieve his ambition of evolving into a perfect being," said Kagaya with a serious expression.
Hijou Feiye took a deep breath, now understanding why Muzan hated the Ubuyashiki family so much, and how he gradually descended into darkness.
"Therefore, our mission is to kill him, no matter what the cost," Feiye said firmly.
Kagaya looked at her, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. "Yes, that is our mission."
After leaving the library, she returned to her room to rest. She slowly pushed open the door and entered her independent room in the Demon Slayer Corps. Feiye
The door closed behind her, leaving only the flickering candle to cast a faint glow in the darkness, rendering her facial features blurry and mysterious.
She sighed softly, habitually reaching for "The Volume of Amaterasu" hanging by the bedside, feeling a sense of heaviness in her heart.
Even though she had already learned everything about Ubuyashiki Kagaya and his family through manga, standing in this world and interacting with them face to face made her realize that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
"I can't let them realize that I know the plot... to avoid making things even more complicated," she muttered to herself as she fiddled with the scroll in her hand.
Tossing and turning, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by exhaustion and enter dreamland, the scroll suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
"Ah!" She exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise and quickly sitting up.
This scroll not only shines brightly, but even the words on it seem to come alive, floating down from the paper and forming a beam of light that shoots directly into her consciousness.
Suddenly, Feiye feels herself being blown by a strong wind and arrives in a whole new world. This is the peaceful Heian period over a thousand years ago.
In the Heian period of Japan, the Okusafu family was already a powerful clan. The Okusafu family was at the height of its power and extremely wealthy.
Head of the family Urazato Miyake, a man with a stern appearance and a deeply hidden heart, married a woman named Sachiko from the Fujihara family as arranged by the family.
Sachiko, who grew up in the wealthy Fujihara family similar to the Ubuyashiki family, is a woman who has been spoiled since childhood and has a hot temper.
Her beauty and family background make her arrogant. Whenever someone displeases her, she would physically assault them to vent her anger, only stopping when the victim is covered in bruises. She has never loved a courtier because she only loves herself.
Urazato The courtier stepped into his spacious study, which was filled with numerous ancient books and treasures, showcasing the immense wealth and profound heritage of the Okusafu family. He slowly sat down at the sandalwood desk, unfurling the scroll in his hand, as a hint of ink fragrance wafted through the air.
"These jewels are indeed nice, but that's all they are." Urazato Kyo sat in his study, expressionless, as he looked at the box of jewels just delivered by his subordinate, absentmindedly picking up a string of jewels to give to the attendant beside him.
"Thank you for the praise, my lord," a servant said, bowing so low his head almost touched the ground.
At that moment, the door of the study was knocked "thud, thud, thud" a few times.
"Come in," said Gongqing coldly.
The door was pushed open, and a woman walked in. She was dressed in luxurious kimono, with various flowers and birds embroidered on the hem, showing her extraordinary status.
"Hmph, wasting time with these lowly servants again?" Sachiko walked up to the courtier and disdainfully smiled.
"Sachiko, why have you come to find me here?" Lord Miyaki glanced at her, his expression still indifferent.
"Lord Miyaki, why do you ask me what's the matter? Shouldn't you be concerned about your wife?" Sachiko sat down angrily, picked up the nearby teacup, and took a sip.
