Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Plan

The next day

Lorien received a guest very early in the morning

He had already expected the arrival of someone from the Demon Slayer Cops after he sent the letter, and it seems that Shinobu was the chosen one

They were now sitting in the living room, Shinobu sat face to face with Lorien while Saigai sat next to him observing things silently

As for Nezuko, she was currently sitting close by, playing with The Nintendo Switch

Even since Lorien gave her a permanent one that won't disappear after a while, she kept playing with it to pass the time, And with the variety of games present on it and the novelty of the product itself for the era, she quickly became a gaming addict

But it seems that even if she sat that far away, she still attracted Shinobu's attention who kept looking at her from time to time, evidently discovering her identity as a Demon

However, even after finding out, she still kept silent after giving Lorien a deep look

The two didn't waste any more time and immediately got into the topic

"Can you determine when the attack will happen?"

"Yes, The Demons will attack 7 or 8 Days later"

Lorien was able to predict this by observing the moon

In the previously Clairvoyant Dream where he saw the attack, It was a moonless night, and more precisely it was a New Moon

During the New Moon Phase, no sunlight is reflected by the moon, and the side that is all lit up is facing away from the earth

So, During this phase, the moon is not visible unless it's during a solar eclipse

Today, It is the Last Quarter Moon Phase, And the closest New Moon is about 7 or 8 days away

So, as long as the Clairvoyant Dream he had was accurate, the attack will happen at that time

Hearing this, Shinobu heaved a sigh of relief, it appears that they still have some time to prepare

"What's the plan? Kagaya-Sama said that we'll just follow your strategy"

"Huh??"

This was a bit unexpected, Lorien didn't expect them to trust him this much, but he didn't think further of it and responded

"I'll go to your Headquarters on the 6th day, all you guys have to do after the battle begins is just hold back the other demons and survive, leave muzan for me, as long as he dies all other demons who were created by him will also die"

Hearing this, Shinobu quickly responded

"Are you sure about killing him?"

"Yes"

Seeing the confidence radiating from him, She nodded in agreement, She was here just to deliver a message anyways, and had no right to veto

But then, She Paused for a moment, It appears that she wanted to say something but felt hesitant

But this only lasted for a moment as she quickly resolved herself and said, this time her voice was full of perseverance and some 'begging'

"Could you please let me stay at your house the day of the attack?"

As soon as he heard this, Lorien remembered her backstory and the grudge she had with Upper Moon 2

When sending the letter, He had included accurate information about where and who will attack, So it wasn't surprising that she knew about it

But even if he knew this, Lorien didn't show it as he responded in 'confusion'

"Why is that? Aren't you going to defend your Headquarters?"

Hesitating for a moment, Shinobu then responded desolately with a question of her own

"Do you have time for a story?"

"Yes, Go ahead"

Hearing this, She continued speaking, sadness obvious on her face

"Sigh..."

"I had an older sister, we joined the demon slayer corps after our family got attacked by Demons as we swore to stop Demons from inflicting the same horror and pain we experienced on others

From there, everything was going great, and it didn't take long for my sister to become the flower hashira, at the time I thought that after all the suffering we lived through, we could live the rest of our lives in happiness, or at least peace...But"

As she said this, Her sad voice was suddenly filled with rage and anger

"Everything suddenly came crashing down, One day, my sister ran into Upper Rank 2 and she was fatally wounded during the encounter"

Pausing for a moment she continued

"According to the letter you sent, he'll attack this place, And I want...Revenge"

Finally getting everything off her chest, Shinobu became silent as she waited patiently for Lorien's response

And Thankfully, he didn't let her wait for long

"I agree, but...You won't be staying here alone, Saigai and Nezuko will also stay here"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Shinobu wasnt the only one that was surprised

Saigai who was silently observing their conversation looked at Lorien in confusion

And Nezuko who was close by, paused the game and also looked their way, it appears that she was still paying attention to their side

This wasn't a momentary decision made by him, even if Shinobu didn't request staying, he would have let Saigai and Nezuko stay here and wait for Doma

After all, this is a good opportunity for Saigai to practice as even though she got a lot of battle experience in the Dream, She never actually had a real battle

And Doma's strength is perfect for a first battle as it is below hers

Not to mention Doma, even Muzan himself would probably die miserably if she were to use her ability

As for Nezuko, She is sort of a back plan in case something goes wrong as she herself is also quite strong, especially after the 1 Month Dream Training they had yesterday

In that Dream, she was able to master the sun breathing technique which turned out very compatible with her, and also learned how to better use her blood demon art

And not only that, but she also got some fighting experience fighting some 'NPCs' at the end

So having her stay here is also a great choice, not to mention that Lorien is also preparing another backup just in case

"You won't be able to kill him on your own...Even with the poison inside your body"

Hearing the last part Shinobu's eyes shrank fiercely

"How did you..?!"

"Don't worry about it, Saigai and Nezuko are quite strong, each of them has the strength of Upper Moon 1, so with them here, your revenge is guaranteed"

This greatly surprised Shinobu, She expected Nezuko who was a demon to be powerful as she could somehow feel it, but she didn't expect the silent and cold girl sitting across her to also be this strong

But she didn't think much further of it as she quickly nodded and said gratefully

"Thank you!"

"Don't thank me, They are the ones who will help you"

Hearing this she turned her eyes to Saigai and Nezuko quickly thanking them

Nezuko smiled in response waving her hand, while Saigai just nodded indifferently

For her, if it weren't for Lorien asking her to do it, she wouldn't really care

With the plans being made, Shinobu stood up ready to go back to the Headquarters to deliver the message

Seeing this, Lorien walked with her to the door sending her off, He then stood there for a while before walking back in

And as he did, he made his way towards Nezuko who was laying on the couch and snatched the Nintendo from her hand

"Heeey?!!!"

Tapping her head lightly with it, he gave it back and said

"Follow me, we'll start turning you back into a human now"

As soon as she heard this, she threw the console aside without care and quickly followed him excitedly

With the time for the last battle approaching, Lorien decided to pick up the pace and try to turn Nezuko back into a human before the last battle

He plans to do a 'healing session' as many times as possible in a day

The reason he usually only does it once a day isn't because he is only able to do it that many times, it's mainly because he is lazy

The energy he uses for 'healing' is the [Source Energy] inside of his body, and as long as it recovers he can re-start the 'healing' again

And with his recovery speed doing it even 6 or 7 times a day is quite possible, but he usually won't do such a desperate thing as he still wants to take things easy

Sitting under the shade in the backyard, Lorien asked Nezuko to sit down and said

"Let's Begin!"
