Tokyo Prefecture, Asakusa.
Nobuhiko, Masaki, Tomioka Giyuu, Tanjiro and Nezuko came to look for Tamashi.
After arriving in Asakusa, Nobuhiko did not go to the alley where Kanae took him last time because Tamashii and Yushirou had changed their hiding places.
However, Nobuhiko doesn't know where Tamayo and Oshiro's new residences are.
He first came to a nearby clinic to wait.
When night fell, a young man came to the clinic. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short indigo hair. He was wearing a white upper and black suit with a gray shirt underneath. His expression looked very serious. When he saw Nobuhiko, his brows were furrowed and he looked unhappy.
The person who came was none other than Yushiro.
When I left, I made an agreement with Zhu Shi that if I want to see them in the future, I can come to this clinic.
The owner of this clinic had been saved by Juyo, so he had cooperated with Juyo. The blood purchased by Juyo and Yushiro was also purchased from the hospital through the owner of the clinic.
Yushirou comes to the clinic as usual every night.
If there are serious patients who cannot afford to live in a large hospital, Yushiro will take them to his and Tamashi's residence for treatment.
At the same time, this is also the contact point between Tamashii and Yashiki Yoshiya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Of course, the direct contact is not through the owner of the clinic, but the Demon Slayer Crow will be parked on the roof opposite the clinic.
When Yushiro saw the crow, he knew that the Demon Slayer Corps had sent a message.
Yesterday, Tamashi received a letter from Uyashiki Yōya, so Meigoushirou paid attention to the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who have been around Asakusa in recent days.
Although Yushiro believed that having too much contact with the Demon Slayers would easily expose their whereabouts, he simply could not disobey Tamashi's orders.
"Mr. Yushiro, long time no see." Masaki said with a smile.
"Yes!" Yushiro nodded very coldly, "Come with me."
Seeing this, Nobuhiko and others followed Yushiro out of the clinic.
After a while, they followed Yushiro into an alley.
When Yushirou reached the middle of the alley, he hit the wall directly.
Tanjiro on the side was surprised, but saw Yushiro submerged into the wall.
"There is such a big house here!" Tanjiro looked at the large yard that appeared in front of him in surprise.
Nobuhiko followed Yushiro into the house. The furnishings inside were exactly the same as before. I have to say that Yushiro's vampire skills are indeed magical.
"Miss Tamashi is getting ready, please put the person down first." Yushiro said coldly.
Upon seeing this, Tanjiro put down the basket behind his back and carried Nezuko inside to the bed.
Looking at Nezuko sleeping peacefully, Yushiro frowned slightly, "Huh? Isn't she a ghost? And she's also an ugly girl."
"..."
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment.
"Ugly girl?! No matter how you look at it, Nezuko can't be an ugly girl, right? She is a popular beauty in our town! Look at it again!"
Tanjiro shouted with great excitement.
Yushiro said very coldly: "It's all the same. The ones who came last time were all ugly girls."
Zhen Sang: "..."
Although Nobuhiko really wanted to say to Yushirou, "Give you another chance to reorganize your language", this guy may be face-blind. Except for Tamashi, in his eyes, all other women are ugly, so he doesn't want to talk to him again. Debated.
However, Tanjiro was still very unconvinced.
"Tanjiro, don't get excited." Nobuhiko patted Tanjiro's shoulder and whispered in his ear, and Tanjiro regained his composure.
At this time, Zhu Shi came in with a tray full of medicine and said, "Yushiro, you can't be so rude."
"Yes, Lord Zhushi." Yushiro said respectfully.
Nobuhiko nodded slightly and said, "Miss Tamashi."
"Mr. Nobuhiko, is this the child who turned into a ghost you said?" Tamashi looked at Nezuko lying on the hospital bed.
"Yes, her name is Nezuko. After being contaminated by Muzan's blood, she turned into a ghost. But she quickly recovered her senses, and was able to resist the temptation of thin blood, and consciously protected her brother Tanjiro. ." Nobuhiko explained.
Zhu Shi was a little surprised. He turned into a ghost directly through Mu Mei's blood. He would definitely lose his mind at first.
Just like she was once terminally ill and was tempted by Wuhan. In order to grow up with her children, Zhushi agreed to Wuhan and became a ghost. As a result, Zhushi lost her mind and ate her husband and children.
This is also the reason why Zhu Shi later made up his mind to take revenge on Mu Mei.
If she had known this would be the case from the beginning, Jushi would never have agreed to become a ghost.
"Besides, this time we encountered a misfortune. I cut off one of his arms, and it's in my backpack now." As he spoke, Nobuhiko took off the backpack on his back and took out a package.
Jushi looked in disbelief, "You actually encountered Wuhan and cut off one of his arms?!"
Zhu Shi had an intuitive understanding of how powerful Wu Mei was.
Except for Enichi Tsukuni four hundred years ago, the other Demon Slayer swordsmen were no match for Muzan even if they had their patterns activated.
Nobuhiko was actually able to escape intact after encountering Muzan, and even cut off his arm.
In a short period of time, has Nobuhiko's strength reached this level?
"Don't get me wrong. In fact, if there was a fight, I was no match at all. However, it was almost dawn at that time, and Wuhan didn't want to fight, so he ran away, and I cut off one of his arms." Nobuhiko explained.
Zhu Shi shook his head, "I believe that Mr. Nobuhiko will be able to eliminate Wuhan sooner or later. I want to witness that day with my own eyes."
With that said, Zhu Shi opened the package, looked at the arm inside, and felt the familiar breath. A determined look appeared on her face, "With Wu Mei's blood, we can develop a drug to deal with him." , maybe we can find a way to turn ghosts into humans again."
"Miss Tamayo, are you saying that my sister still has a chance to become a human again?!" Tanjiro said excitedly. Through the smell, he could tell that Tamayo and Oshiro were not human beings, but ghosts. But neither of them smelled disgusting.
"Yes." Zhu Shi nodded, "I want to check your sister's body, please stay away."
"Yes! Thank you, Miss Jushi."
Nobuhiko, Tomioka Giyu, Tanjiro, and Yushiro all left the ward. About ten minutes later, Tamashi called them back to the room.
"Nezuko's physical condition is not abnormal, but we don't know the reason for her lethargy at the moment." Tamayo said doubtfully.
At this time, Nobuhiko suddenly said: "Could it be that he consumed too much, so he slept instead of eating people to restore energy.
I encountered Shang Xian II before, and although I killed him, I was seriously injured. I was in a coma for two years before I woke up.
Nezuko's situation may be the same as mine.
Especially since she became a ghost through Wu Mei's blood, her desire for human flesh should be even stronger. "
"Mr. Nobuhiko, are you saying that it will probably take a long time for Nezuko to wake up?" Tanjiro looked worried.
Nobuhiko smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it a good thing for you that Nezuko has been sleeping all this time?
She has become a ghost now. What if she wakes up and wants to eat people?
While she is sleeping, you can seize the time to become stronger and defeat Wuhan with us.
Maybe she can become human again before she wakes up! "
Tanjiro clenched his fists and said determinedly: "I will definitely defeat Muzan! Let Nezuko become a human again!"
"You are so weak now that you can't even defeat the lowest level swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the highest level swordsman 'Hashira' of the Demon Slayer Corps is no match for Mukai, so in the next time, what will greet you will be hell. You have to be mentally prepared for the training." Nobuhiko patted Tanjiro on the shoulder.
Tanjiro's face turned a little pale, thinking of Nobuhiko's crushing strength before. Such a powerful Nobuhiko was no match for Muzan.
Can he really have the power to kill Wuhan in a few years?
"Believe in yourself, Tanjiro, you are different from ordinary people, you are special!" Nobuhiko encouraged. You are the protagonist, the son of the plane. Although your cheating is not as exaggerated as that of Tsukoku Yuanichi, you are still very powerful.
Among the protagonists in the original work, Tanjiro's talent is not considered the best, but he is definitely the one with the most perseverance and the hardest work, so Nobuhiko admires him very much.
Even if you cheat, you can't give up your efforts!
"Yes! Mr. Nobuhiko!" Sensing the smell of trust coming from Nobuhiko, Tanjiro was full of fighting spirit.
"Tanjiro, I want to take some blood from your sister for research. Do you think it's okay?" Tamayo asked.
Tanjiro said: "Of course!"
After hearing this, Zhu Shi took out a glass needle, took out a tube of blood from Nezuko's wrist, and sealed it.
Later, Tamashi took out a document and handed it to Nobuhiko.
Nobuhiko took it and looked at it. What was recorded on it was his blood research report.
"This is..." Nobuhiko's pupils shrank.
As expected, ghost is just a life level jump for human beings, and his half-ghost body is a positive evolution.
Seeing Nobuhiko finish reading the research report, Tamashi said, "Mr. Nobuhiko, I would like to take some more of your blood for research. Is it okay?"
"Of course." Nobuhiko stretched out his arm.
…
Tanjiro sat beside the hospital bed, holding Nezuko's arm, his eyes filled with sadness.
It is rare for a teenage boy to be so calm when his family encounters a sudden disaster.
Now that he knew that Nezuko was saved, Tanjiro's tense mind relaxed a lot.
After a while, Tanjiro came to Nobuhiko and asked about Muzan, "Mr. Nobuhiko, I want to know more about Muzan, Kibutsuji!"
Nobuhiko explained: "Kibutsuji Muzan is the ancestor of ghosts, the first ghost to appear in this world..."
"Why did Onibatsuji Mukai kill my family and why did he turn my sister into a ghost?" Tanjiro suddenly asked.
Nobuhiko fell into silence, then looked at Tanjiro's earrings, "Where did you get your earrings?"
"This..." Tanjiro touched the Nichiwa earrings on his ears and explained, "My father gave them to me. They said they were passed down from generation to generation in our Kamado family."
"This is why your family was killed." Nobuhiko said solemnly.
"Why?!" Tanjiro looked in disbelief.
Nobuhiko looked at Tamashi who was aside, "Ms. Tamashi, you should recognize this earring, right?"
After hearing this, Zhu Shi began to look at Tanjiro carefully. A dusty memory suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, "It's very similar!"
"Miss Tamashi, what do you look like?" Tanjiro looked confused.
Zhu Shidao: "The red hair, red eyes, and your sun disk earrings remind me of a person."
"who is it?"
"Jigoku Enichi!"
"Is he the swordsman who almost killed Muzan?"
"Your sun disk earrings are only worn by swordsmen who use the initial breathing method. I think this is the reason why Muzan went to the mountains in person to kill your family." Zhu Shi speculated.
"Tanjiro, did your ancestors pass down any sword skills or anything special?" Nobuhiko asked.
Tanjiro couldn't help but fell into deep thought, then shook his head, "Our Kamado family has been engaged in the charcoal-making industry for generations, and we have never produced a swordsman."
"Except for the sun disk earrings, isn't there anything that is passed down from generation to generation?" Nobuhiko raised a brow.
Tanjiro was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "My father once performed a sacred ceremony on a winter night and danced a Kagura dance all night long, called Fire God Kagura! My father told me before his death that I must pass on the Fire God Kagura. .”
Nobuhiko's eyes lit up, "Then have you learned it?"
"Yes! My father taught me, and I remember everything." Tanjiro affirmed.
"Then can you demonstrate it to me now?" Nobuhiko said seriously.
"Now?" Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
"Brother, could it be that..." Masaki looked at Nobuhiko in surprise.
Zhu Shi seemed to have thought of something.
Nobuhiko nodded and said: "I think Tanjiro's ancestors once met Enichi Tsukuni, a user of the Sun Breathing Technique, and then the Kamado family passed down the Sun Breathing Technique through the form of Kagura dance.
This is also the reason why Muzan decided to personally kill Tanjiro's family.
And according to Tanjiro, his father has always been frail and sick, but he was able to dance the fire god Kagura all night on winter nights.
It is most likely the Sun Breathing Method that can make a person who has never practiced systematic practice have such a strong endurance! "
The expressions of both Masaki and Tomioka Giyu changed.
It is self-evident what the starting breathing method means to the Demon Slayer Squad.
"Tanjiro, please excuse me." Nobuhiko said solemnly.
"Mr. Nobuhiko, you are serious. I would like to thank you for your help." Tanjiro said: "If a powerful swordsman like you can master Kagura, the God of Fire, he will definitely be able to kill Muzan!"
The group of people came to the yard outside the villa. Tanjiro held a wooden stick in his hand, then adjusted his breathing rhythm and danced slowly.
"Mr. Nobuhiko, this is the first dance form of the God of Fire Kagura, the round dance!"
After Tanjiro finished the first dance form, he started the second one, but his breath was obviously much more disordered.
"The second dance form, Bi Luotian!"
"Third..." When Tanjiro danced to the third dance form, his body suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, with a look of pain on his face.
"Adjust your breathing rhythm, inhale deeply, and then exhale slowly." Nobuhiko stepped forward and supported Tanjiro.
After a while, Tanjiro calmed down.
Tanjiro looked at Nobuhiko with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nobuhiko, I didn't expect that Kagura dance would be so difficult. I simply can't keep up with the physical strength."
"It's not a matter of physical strength, it's that you don't know how to use the sword at all, and you don't know the rhythm of the breathing method." Nobuhiko shook his head and said: "The most important thing about the Sun Breathing Method is not the sword skill, but the way of breathing.
Your father must have taught you how to breathe. Unfortunately, you don't know sword skills, so you can't breathe in conjunction with the Kagura dance. Naturally, you can't use all the dance styles.
Even if it is demonstrated reluctantly, it is only superficial. "
"What should we do?" Tanjiro asked with worry on his face.
Nobuhiko smiled and patted his shoulder, "The matter of Kagura Wu is not urgent for the time being. I will teach you the breathing method of fire and sword skills first. After you completely master a breathing method, you will be able to complete the fire god Kagura." The demo is out.”
There is no rush now.
After all, Tanjiro's father, Kamado Tanjuro, is a genius among geniuses. Although he is frail and sick, he was born with the ability to open up the 'transparent world', which is the 'supreme realm' that swordsmen long for.
But some people are born with it.
This is also the reason why Tanjuro can master the Sun Breathing Technique without going through systematic swordsmanship training.
If Tanjuro joins the Demon Slayer Corps and is still alive when Muzan comes to visit this time.
It is estimated that Wu Kai ran away immediately after seeing him.
Talent is something that cannot be rushed.
In the original work, Tanjiro learned the Water Breathing Technique. This does not mean that the level of his predecessor [Water Pillar] Rintagaki Sakonji was not good, but that the Water Breathing Technique did not match Tanjiro's attributes.
In addition, Tanjiro himself had zero basic knowledge, so it took him a long time to lay the foundation at the beginning. In the end, it took him two years to learn all the sword forms of the Water Breathing Technique, but he did not complete [Complete Collection·Jianzhong] .
It wasn't until the final battle that he cheated to obtain 'Patterns' and 'Transparent World'.
Now Nobuhiko is going to take him back to the Demon Slayer Headquarters and personally teach him how to learn sword skills.
Sword skills with matching attributes, coupled with Nobuhiko's guidance, and giving Tanjiro a little chakra-enhancing talent, I believe it won't take long for him to reach the level where he can demonstrate the Sun Breathing Technique.
"In the original book, there are very few people who can use the Sun Breathing Technique, but even if I can't use it, as long as I can understand its principles, I can combine the Sun Breathing Technique with the Yang Release Chakra, and then improve it into a breathing method that is most suitable for my body. Law.
The time required to improve will be significantly reduced compared to completely creating a new breathing method.
In this way, the chance of winning against Wu Mei increases by a few percent, and the survival rate of the team members will also be greatly improved! "
Nobuhiko helped Tanjiro into the villa, thinking constantly in his mind.
...
Three days later, Nobuhiko returned to the Demon Slayer Corps with Tanjiro and Nezuko after getting the consent of Uyashiki Yōya.
The combination of one person and one ghost also caused a commotion within the team.
