Chapter 75: Tomioka Giyu's unique way of expressing appreciation

As soon as the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, stepped into Nada Spider Mountain, he caught the breath of the demon. He followed the breath and keenly searched for the traces of the demon, and just witnessed the whole process of Fang Yi and Yuto Nakamori cooperating to kill Rui.

According to the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya, there should be demons at the level of the Twelve Kizuki here, so almost all the swordsmen sent out before were killed.

A crow that showed the way and delivered messages to the swordsmen flew back to the secret base where the pillars had relocated and brought back news of the enemy.

Although the Demon Slayer Corps had suffered losses in its Pillar-level combat power due to the betrayal of the newly promoted 'Pillar', and had almost no manpower to spare, it was in a time when combat power was in short supply, and the wounded also needed Shinobu Kocho's treatment.

But Ubuyashiki Yoya still ordered Tomioka Giyu and Kocho Shinobu to go and resolve the incident as soon as possible.

After Shinobu Kocho had found the Demon Slayer member who had been turned into a smaller human-headed spider by the toxin of her spider 'brother', she gave him simple treatment and crude therapy.

Giyu Tomioka's mission became to quickly kill the demons present and rescue the less injured members of the Demon Slayer Corps who might be alive.

However, when he passed through the bushes and came to a clearing, the scene before him surprised him.

Giyu Tomioka stood there, his whole body stagnant for a few seconds, his eyes slightly widened, his gaze fixed on the front.

He saw a man holding a Sun Blade, bursting out with extremely fast speed and using a sword technique that was somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar to him to chop off Rui's head.

His usually calm face now showed a rare expression of shock, his eyebrows raised high in surprise, and his eyes showed disbelief.

Tomioka Giyu was amazed by the performance of this handsome and well-proportioned young man in the battle.

With perfect timing and amazing physical fitness, he was able to find a glimmer of hope under the opponent's overwhelming blood-red spider web, and then chopped off the head of this very powerful Twelve Demon Moons with one sword.

Tomioka Giyu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Is this a true genius? I really can't compare to this kind of person."

However, he also noticed several anomalies in this battle.

This handsome man wasn't wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform, and the Nichirin sword he held didn't change color. Judging from his aura, he didn't seem to be able to use breathing techniques either.

Although the sword technique he used, [Water Breathing·First Form·Water Surface Slash], was very powerful and looked quite impressive, it always gave Giyu Tomioka a strange feeling.

This sword technique seemed to lack the rhythm and tempo driven by the breathing method that every member of the Demon Slayer Corps had learned and mastered, and it also had subtle differences from the force-generating techniques he had learned.

But the sword skills can still show such amazing effects in the hands of this young man.

With one blow, he broke through the enemy's almost flawless spider web, cut through the enemy's somewhat hard body, and chopped off the enemy's head.

Although some of the different sword techniques made Tomioka Giyuu feel a little confused, he also admired the young man's talent even more.

"Unique genius" is probably the best description of him.

Tomioka Giyuu knew that with a little training, this young man could become an important force in the Demon Slayer Corps, and it wouldn't take long for him to even become a "Pillar".

Such a person is extremely rare even in the Demon Slayer Corps, which is full of geniuses. He decided to go forward and learn more about this handsome young man.

If the person is trustworthy and has a traceable background, Giyu Tomioka decides to personally recruit him into the Demon Slayer Corps and introduce him to a trainer to help him further improve his abilities.

Now he can have such combat effectiveness with such awkward and ugly sword skills and without the support of breathing method. Once he gets into the door and masters more skills, his strength will definitely increase dramatically.

As for the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, many of them are dead or missing. At the same time, the Minion Corps is rampantly killing the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, and the entire Demon Slayer Corps is in a state of shortage of combat power.

Such a genius is exactly what he wants to strive for.

Then he said this.

"Who taught you sword skills? You are totally misleading me. One move from you and your Sun Blade will be ruined."

"Your posture, power generation technique, and proficiency are completely inadequate. How long have you been practicing this sword technique?"

Fang Yi looked at Giyu Tomioka. Even though this was a character he was very familiar with in Demon Slayer, he still couldn't hold back when he heard such remarks.

If you don't know this water column very well, you would think the person who said this is very arrogant.

But in fact, what he said was just to express that Fang Yi would become stronger after training and had not received training from a qualified trainer.

But why was he speaking so abstractly? Because this Water Pillar, this man named Tomioka Giyu, was not good at expressing himself. When talking to people, he would always skip the process and go straight to the result.

With this way of speaking, saying that he is not good at expressing himself is a bit of an exaggeration. In fact, this Water Pillar has been disliked by other Pillars because of his words.

At least three of the pillars have openly expressed their dislike for him.

Because he is not good at expressing himself and does not know how to handle interpersonal relationships, the meaning of his words is often misunderstood.

He gives people a feeling of arrogance, but in fact he is a very gentle and kind person.

He would feel sad and heartbroken because his companions hated him, and he would feel inferior because he thought he had killed his fellow disciples who participated in the Demon Slayer Corps' 'final selection'.

Because he was rescued by his companions, he survived without killing any ghosts, but the companions who rescued him died at the hands of ghosts.

He always felt that he was not worthy of being a 'pillar' and was not qualified to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

As for the haori he was wearing with different patterns on the left and right sides, half of it was the same color as the clothes of his deceased companion, and the other half was the same color as the clothes of his sister who died protecting him.

Although he didn't say anything and didn't express these emotions to others, he actually kept the two people who died protecting him firmly in his heart.

After the death of the Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro, whom he admired very much, he only said "Really?", but he was actually very sad in his heart.

He is a person who hides his emotions deep inside and is unwilling to express them.

Fang Yi was thinking about how to answer this question, but he didn't expect that Nakamori Yuto on the side spoke first.

"Brother Yiyong, Mr. Fang Yi is a man worthy of respect. He hasn't practiced swordsmanship for long, but his strength and combat skills far surpass mine. He is a true genius."

At the same time, he said to Fang Yiwei, "My senior brother is not very good at speaking, please bear with me. In fact, he is a very good person."

Fang Yi was really shocked by what Nakamori Yuto said. He really didn't expect that the cowardly swordsman he rescued was the junior brother of Tomioka Giyu and the senior brother of Kamado Tanjiro.

What a coincidence!

Fang Yi looked at Giyu Tomioka, worried that he had no way to quickly improve the other party's friendliness and acquire skills.

I feel like I can go straight to the Demon Slayer base this time and make full use of [Supernatural Gravity] to gain assistance. There won't be any accidents this time, right?

　First of all, I would like to thank the readers who have been following and voting. Without your support, it would be difficult for the author to continue writing.

　　This book is lucky and it was revived in the second round.

　　The author has been really busy with the three-dimensional world recently, and has been unable to leave due to family matters, so he hasn't read the book circle and chapter reviews much. Today I have a little free time, so let me talk about the problems with this volume.

　　1. Space pitted Fang Yi

　　2. The protagonist's actions are confusing

　　3. Supporting Character Length and Plot Issues
　　The above problems are all because the author has been very busy dealing with family matters recently. He basically sits at the computer at 23:00 every day and is basically exhausted. In addition, his physical condition is very poor, and he has to get up early during the day, so the time is too short.

　　Basically, the updates during this period are just to modify the previously written drafts and publish them, so the quality of the chapters has declined.

　　Today, the author has taken into account the opinions of many readers and taken some time out of his busy schedule to revise and supplement the previous content of this volume. Readers who are interested can refresh and review it. If you are not interested, it will not affect the subsequent reading.

　　Chapter 9 adds about 5k words of content to make the plot less confusing.

　　The author did not deliberately add water to the chapters. In fact, 3 words were cut from Jujutsu no Kabutoshi, 4 words were cut from Kabutoshi no Kabutoshi, and 4 chapters were cut from Demon Slayer. However, due to recent events, the chapters feel fragmented and confusing.

　　I would like to apologize for the bad reading experience.

　　This is what a new author and a new book are like. I lack experience, so I would like to thank the readers who have been following this book for their tolerance.

　　The author will try his best to revise the remaining chapters until he is satisfied before publishing them.
