------------------------------------------------
A thousand years ago, Kibutsuji Muzan, a disgrace who became a demon, appeared in their family, and the men in the family suffered a terrible curse.
All male infants born were weak and sickly, and would soon die prematurely.
Later, their clan followed the advice of the shrine priest and began marrying girls from the priestess clan as wives, which prevented the clan from being wiped out by the curse.
But even so, it only weakened the curse, and did not completely lift it.
Male infants born into the Ubuyashiki clan no longer died prematurely, but as they grew older, under the erosion of the curse, their bodies would become increasingly worse, even losing their sight.
And once they reached thirty, they were doomed to die.
For a thousand years, no male in the Ubuyashiki family has lived past thirty.
To completely lift the curse, the source of the curse, Kibutsuji Muzan, must be killed.
So for the past thousand years, the Ubuyashiki family formed the Demon Slayer Corps, hunting down and killing demons everywhere, also hoping to eventually kill Kibutsuji Muzan and lift the family's curse.
"The curse on you is very obvious and powerful. With my current ability, I cannot completely lift the curse for you; at most, I can weaken it a bit."
Goku observed carefully for a while and replied seriously.
Such a powerful curse, even if Grandpa Dumbledore came, he probably wouldn't be able to solve it.
However, he could try to weaken it slightly.
"You are indeed a magical child, just as Sanda said. Could I trouble you to help me weaken the curse on me?"
Ubuyashiki Kagaya coughed and smiled as he requested Goku.
He did not ask for his curse to be completely lifted, only that his current body could recover a little.
Because only then would he have enough energy to scheme against Muzan and end the curse in his generation.
The Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps currently are the strongest generation in a thousand years, apart from the generation of the initial swordsmen.
They are also the generation most hopeful of being able to kill Kibutsuji Muzan and end the demons.
"I won't let you help for free. Whatever fee you think is appropriate, is fine."
The Ubuyashiki clan was the most powerful clan a thousand years ago, so they were not short of money; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to support the Demon Slayer Corps in hunting demons.
It should be known that all Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who hunt evil spirits receive no remuneration.
The local people and government would not pay for it.
All the expenses of the swordsmen were borne by their Ubuyashiki clan.
So if Goku asked for a reward, he could give Goku a large sum of money.
"I don't want money. I came here for training, to improve my strength, and to fight stronger people.
If possible, I hope to have a good spar with the Nine Pillars and learn their breathing techniques."
Goku thought for a moment and replied:
"Of course, if they are unwilling, it doesn't matter.
You are a good person, and I will still do my best to help you weaken the curse."
He still had a pile of Galleons in his box, so he had no particular need for money at the moment.
"We are willing! As long as you can help My Lord, you can spar for as long as you want!"
Upon hearing this, the Nine Pillars immediately promised Goku.
Let alone sparring, even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they would be willing if it could lift My Lord's curse.
"That's great!"
Goku concentrated, mobilized the ki within his body, and began to chant a spell:
"All Curses End!"
Blue magic light enveloped Ubuyashiki Kagaya. The purple marks that had covered most of Ubuyashiki Kagaya's face began to recede, and his eyes gradually brightened.
He felt his body seemed to have returned to its state at twenty years old.
At that time, his curse was not too severe; he could walk normally on his own, and his eyes had not lost their sight.
In other words, Goku's magic had significantly weakened his curse, buying him another ten years.
"This is wonderful! I can see you all again."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya looked at the Nine Pillars kneeling on one knee below him, his expression rarely showing such excitement.
And the Nine Pillars couldn't help but all stand up.
"My Lord!"
They clearly saw that their My Lord, who had been critically ill, was suddenly much better, and even his eyes could see.
And all of this was thanks to the magical boy beside them, who used his magical ability to heal My Lord.
So at this moment, their gazes towards Goku were filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Goku, thank you for helping me alleviate the curse."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya, as the person involved, grasped Goku's hand and expressed his sincere thanks.
Perhaps he truly had hope of ending Kibutsuji Muzan in his generation and completely breaking free from the curse.
"I'm a bit hungry!"
Just then, Goku's stomach suddenly rumbled.
He hadn't eaten breakfast since waking up and had fought a battle. Although he hadn't used much energy, he was still hungry.
"Sanda, go and have someone prepare some food."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya couldn't help but smile at this, then instructed Sanda.
Sanda nodded and immediately exited the courtyard.
"Everyone probably hasn't had breakfast yet. We'll eat breakfast together later. Before that, let's deal with Tanjiro and Nezuko's matter first."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya looked at Tanjiro, who had put the box back on his back.
"My Lord, my sister truly has never killed anyone. She has always helped me fight demons. I hope you can let her continue to fight demons with me."
Tanjiro knelt on both knees, bowing his head to the ground.
The Wind Pillar and others were also silent at this sight.
If it had been just a moment ago, they would certainly not have let this brother and sister go so easily.
But Goku had just saved their My Lord. If they were to demand the execution of that demon now, it would inevitably cause a conflict with Goku.
This was not what they wanted to see.
"Everyone, the former Water Pillar, Sakonji Urokodaki, sent a letter. I would like everyone to hear it."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya took in the expressions of the Pillars, then had his daughter standing nearby take out a letter and read it:
"I am Sakonji Urokodaki. Please, My Lord, allow Tanjiro and his demon sister to stay together.
Nezuko, relying on her strong mental fortitude, still maintains her human rationality.
Even when starving, she has not eaten anyone, enduring two years like that.
Though unbelievable, it is the truth.
If Nezuko attacks an ordinary person, then Tanjiro, Sakonji Urokodaki, and Giyu Tomioka are willing to atone with their lives."
"Tanjiro and Nezuko are members I acknowledge. I hope everyone can accept them."
After his daughter finished reading the letter from the former Water Pillar, Ubuyashiki Kagaya discussed gently with the Nine Pillars.
Among them, Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka naturally agreed; he was one of the guarantors to begin with.
The Insect Pillar, after learning the true situation, felt sympathy for the brother and sister, and also nodded in agreement.
The Love Pillar followed My Lord's lead and expressed agreement.
The Mist Pillar was indifferent, so it was equivalent to agreeing.
However, the Rock Pillar, Wind Pillar, Flame Pillar, Serpent Pillar, and Sound Pillar were still somewhat conflicted at this time.
In their view, if Nezuko were to kill someone later, the person would already be dead, and even if Sakonji Urokodaki, Giyu Tomioka, and Tanjiro all sacrificed their lives, it would be of no avail.
But Goku and My Lord were both strongly protecting this brother and sister, and their hearts began to waver gradually...
