The cooperation between the Demon Slayer Squad and the Port Mafia is going very smoothly.
The port mafia, which had just emerged, was short of money and people. Although they had the convenience of the Yokohama port, perhaps because they were not well-known, there were not many organizations looking for cooperation with them.
Demon Slayer Squad is different.
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya is very good at business, or in other words every head of the family is very good at business.
If they didn't learn how to make money themselves, the Demon Slayer Corps wouldn't be able to sustain itself now, and would have been disbanded long ago because they had no source of funds.
Recently, there have been many business opportunities due to more exchanges between Japan and the outside world. The business of the Ubuyashiki family has been going very smoothly recently. They have made a lot more money than before, and they still have money to buy experimental equipment for Butterfly Kanae.
The Port Mafia also completed this cooperation perfectly.
Not only is it fast, it is also very safe, and the price is not expensive. Ubuyashiki Yoshiya left a good impression on the port mafia, and it is estimated that there will be other cooperation in the future.
With all the instruments in place, Butterfly Kanae's research has gradually begun to get on track.
It's just that his professional knowledge is not enough and he needs help from others.
After hearing Butterfly Kanae's request, Ubuyashiki Yōya simply found several biology professors for Butterfly Kanae and asked them to help her.
It has to be said that with the help of professionals, their research progressed very quickly. At the beginning, the professors were dismissive of this so-called project. They couldn't bear the temptation of money because the price offered by the family was quite high.
Only then did I come to participate.
Later, after learning more about it, they became obsessed with it.
This kind of medicine is very miraculous. During their research, they even developed medicines that can cure diseases. These medicines can be used on ordinary people. As long as there are no major problems, Ubuyashiki family can use these newly discovered medicines to make a fortune.
Windfall.
After hearing about the added value of this medicine, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya immediately registered the trademark and firmly held the patent in his hands.
However, he still remembered that this achievement was entirely because of Kano Qiuichi, so Uyashiki Yōya donated half of the dividends from selling the drug to Kano Qiuichi's shrine.
Kano Akiichi was a little confused when he suddenly received a lot of offerings.
Although there are not many people who believe in him, there are still a lot of them. In recent years, due to the gradual decline of the mysterious side, the number of people who believe in him and worship him has become less and less. However, he is not the kind of person who needs the ability of others to believe in him.
He is a god of survival, so the amount of worship is not very important to him.
He cares more about whether he can fulfill the wishes of believers.
But he doesn't mind too much if he can offer more, after all, it's all for himself.
It was only when he found that his offerings not only did not decrease, but became more and more, even reaching a shocking level, that he realized something was wrong.
Only gods like Inari-Okami can receive offerings regularly. He is just a little ghost living in hell. How could he receive such a large amount of offerings?
So strange.
Ubuyashiki Yōya also reached their final conclusion not long after.
Although they don't know what the raw materials are, they have discovered the ingredients that make up this potion. They only need to make a new one according to the proportions, and they should be able to perfectly replicate the original sample.
Since that meeting, Kano Qiuichi has never appeared again, as if he had never come to this world. Even the immortal Kawai Saneya and the butterfly Kanae who had crossed paths with them have never been seen again.
Pass him.
At the Hashira meeting at the end of the year, Ubuyashiki Yōya finally officially mentioned Kano Akichi in front of everyone.
Before this time, except for a few Zhu who knew the truth, everyone else had only heard about it but didn't know who it was.
Because it was the end of the year and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, at the Zhuhe meeting at the end of the year, they first congratulated each other for the New Year, and then in the evening they officially started talking about business.
Time has passed, and Ubuyashiki Yoshiya doesn't care about Kano Qiuichi as much as before. His current state is that it would be best if he could meet him, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to interfere.
The battle between humans and ghosts is always your own business, and it is best for others not to interfere.
He has been a great help to the Demon Slayer Squad, not only providing drugs that can subdue ghosts, but also giving them another source of income.
Selling drugs is very profitable. The additional products discovered in the research are not specific drugs for a certain disease, but are similar to anti-inflammatory drugs, which have miraculous effects on illnesses such as colds and fevers.
It is precisely because of this down-to-earth medicinal effect that the promotion goes smoothly.
Not everyone can get heart disease and cancer. These diseases are beyond the imagination of most people. Colds and fevers are diseases that everyone can get. They are the kind of diseases that are obviously minor illnesses but can be serious enough to kill people.
He did not raise the price too high. Instead, he followed the path of small profits but quick turnover. The price was very close to the people. It was the kind of price where even very poor people could grit their teeth and buy a box.
Therefore, the popularity of this drug was very fast, which brought very large profits to Ubuyashiki Yōya, and made the Demon Slayer Corps, which had become somewhat strapped due to scientific research, once again become wealthy.
Doing research is inherently a very money-consuming activity. It costs money to maintain equipment, hire people, and purchase raw materials, all of which are not small sums. Add to that the burden of the Demon Slayer team and wages.
, medical care, various combat supplies, and the aftermath of the battle with demons. Even the Wisteria House, which provides free accommodation and medical care to the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, also needs to spend money.
They said they were providing free help to the Demon Slayer Squad, but how could Ubuyashiki Yōya allow them to eat and drink for free?
He donated half of his income to Kano Akiichi's shrine. They even built a small shrine for Kano Akiichi in their headquarters, just behind the Demon Slayer headquarters, and worshiped him every day.
They even clean him personally. If his body really can't support it, it will be replaced by his wife or his son Huili.
Ubuyashiki Yōya's piety, coupled with his money offensive, finally made Kano Akiichi notice them.
Originally, Kano Qiuichi was not having a good time because of Tongmo's incident, but he had been thinking about coming back to the living world again. However, the ghost lamp refused to let him go, and even found a lot of extra work for him to complete.
Kano Qiuichi, who knew that he was in the wrong, did not resist and stayed calm for a long time.
Not only does Oni Deng hold a grudge, but he is always jealous because of trivial things. Kano Qiuichi is reluctant to recall the consequences of being jealous. Finally, after he calmed down and stopped caring about Tongmo, Kano Qiuichi could relax.
I took some time off and went to the real world to see what the Demon Slayer Corps is like now.
He is still a little curious now, who can actually offer so many things to him on a regular basis? Even King Yama has been jealous of that amount for a long time. Moreover, when these people offer sacrifices, they do not offer food or anything, but convert them into money.
It became cash. Although he was not short of money, he did not hate having more money.
Is the person who worships me with such a promising future in very poor health and wants me to protect him?
Mathematics Koichi is the kind of god who rarely responds to his followers. In the past, he would be busy hitting the back of the head for responding to other people's wishes. Now that there are fewer people who believe in him, Kano Qiuichi has a lot of leisure.
Now that he has free time, he can go see the believer who believes in him so devoutly. If possible, it is not impossible to cure him directly.
He followed the power of faith to the source.
Because he was not on official business, Kano Qiuichi could not be seen by ordinary people like before. He stood on the treetops, sensing the direction of his faith.
The situation here is a bit tricky.
Most of the beliefs come from one person. Compared with that person, other people's beliefs are like the difference between stars and fireflies. It is an attitude that it doesn't matter whether you believe or not.
But the closer Kano Qiuichi got there, the more he felt that the arrangement nearby was a bit strange.
You can see team members wearing Demon Slayer uniforms in some dark corners, but these pairs are not the team members responsible for fighting, but the hidden ones responsible for handling logistics.
They were dressed in black, with masks on their faces, with only their eyes exposed, and were patrolling the area according to established routes.
As Kano Qiuichi walked inside, the density of patrols increased.
If ordinary people couldn't see him, he would have been discovered.
...This is not the Demon Slayer Squad, right?
Kano Qiuichi's heart skipped a beat.
Why didn't he know that the people of the Demon Slayer Corps would believe in him? It's not like the people of the Demon Slayer Corps were able to pray to gods and worship Buddha. They always believed that it would be impossible for them to have enough food and clothing by themselves, and praying to the gods would never happen to them.
Kano Qiuichi initially thought that the ones who believed in him would be the Butterfly Sisters. After all, they were doctors and had similar professions.
But when Kano Qiu passed through many defense lines one by one and arrived at the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, when he saw his devout believer, he was surprised by his identity.
That's Uyashiki Yōya.
From the beginning, he never thought that Uyashiki Yōya would believe in him. He was the most realistic realist, and there was no sign of him believing in him at all.
But when he saw Uyashiki Yōya cleaning the shrine for him with his weak body, he felt a little soft-hearted inexplicably.
Ubuyashiki Yōya's health has never been very good. Today, the wind blew during the day and he almost couldn't get up. By night, his health was slightly better, and then he came to the shrine to clean him up and change the tributes.
Mrs. Amane and his children are still by his side. Compared with Uyashiki Yōya, the faith of others is pitiful.
Obviously he didn't believe it, but he still followed his father and husband.
Kano Qiuichi didn't want to see the statue placed on the altar, nor did he want to admit that the old man was him. He walked around the two of them and sat on the futon in front.
He closed his eyes and listened to Uyashiki Yoshiya's wish.
It should be his wish to get better.
He had cured him once, and it wouldn't be impossible to do it again, considering how much money he paid for himself.
