Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

"You're really annoying, you know? I've already told you you're not a good fit, so why did you even come?"

A robust young man was annoyed to see that Shinazugawa Genya was still following them. This man had been shamelessly following them for a long time, and the young man had long disliked him.

"Mind your own business. Who do you think you are?"

Shinazugawa Genya stood up, his face unfriendly and his tone equally rude.

This infuriated the boy, who rolled up his sleeves, ready to give Genya Shinazugawa a good beating.

Although his body was far less robust than the boy's, Shinazugawa Genya showed no sign of backing down or fear. Just as the boy was about to attack, he threw a punch at him, causing the boy to stagger backward, which ignited the boy's anger.

Soon, the two started fighting.

It was obvious that the slender Genya Shinazugawa was no match for the much stronger boy and was quickly knocked to the ground.

Urokodaki Sakonji merely glanced back and did not stop the scene. In fact, he was pleased with it. Beating him up and making him back down would be a good choice and would also make it easier for him to recognize his own shortcomings.

"Come on, I'll catch up in a bit."

Urokodaki Sakonji said something to the boy who was pinning Shinazugawa Genya to the ground.

"Yes, my lord."

The boy, looking excited, punched Shinazugawa Genya in the face again, making Genya see stars.

"With your frail body, you think you can hunt ghosts? Don't even dream about it."

After throwing one punch, the boy threw a second one, which also hit Shinazugawa Genya, drawing blood from the corner of his face.

Even so, Shinazugawa Genya remained silent, and although he was constantly at a disadvantage and being beaten, he never stopped fighting back.

…………

Urokodaki Sakonji led a group of boys to the mountainside of Mount Sagiri. When they arrived, the sounds of training could be heard from the open space.

The two girls were the most eye-catching. The one with the upper hand was the girl with pink and purple eyes. She knocked a cute-looking girl to the ground time and time again, then tilted her head slightly and beckoned with her little finger.

The obviously cute girl puffed out her cheeks in anger, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and cried as she swung at the girl with pinkish-purple eyes again.

Nearby, a boy with a noticeable scar on his head was repeatedly knocked down by a girl wearing a fox mask with her eyes closed.

There were also several boys and girls who looked like children, training with wooden swords.

In the very center, a shirtless man with extremely muscular physique was doing push-ups.

"Three thousand one hundred and thirty-three...three thousand one hundred and thirty-four..."

The one doing push-ups was naturally Su Mu. When he saw Urokodaki Sakonji arrive with a large group of boys and girls, he stopped and stood up.

"This is……"

He walked up to Urokodaki Sakonji and looked at the group of people with some curiosity.

"They're all here to learn 'Sun Breathing.' If they can't learn it, I'll teach them 'Water Breathing'..."

Looking at the group of obviously robust young men and women, Urokodaki Sakonji continued, "They were all selected and are all in excellent physical condition."

Su Mu nodded. Before he participated in the 'Fujikasayama' swordsman assessment, Urokodaki Sakonji had mentioned to him the idea of ​​making him a 'trainer' so that more people could learn 'Sun Breathing'. At the time, he did not refuse, but then went to the 'Fujikasayama' swordsman assessment. Now, this batch of people who want to learn 'Sun Breathing' has arrived.

He originally thought it would take some more days, but he didn't expect it to start today.

"To be honest, I've never been a 'trainer' myself, and I don't know how to teach. I'll have to trouble Urokodaki-senpai with that."

"No problem, I'll be there to guide you."

Urokodaki Sakon nodded.

"Are these all the people so far? One, two... thirteen... twenty-four, a total of twenty-four people."

Su Mu counted the number of people and asked questions.

"There's one more, coming up later. It should arrive soon."

Urokodaki Sakonji said something.

It felt like it wouldn't be long before that strong young man would be able to knock Shinazugawa Genya to the ground and then rush over.

"Is there one more? Then let's wait a little longer."

Su Mu muttered something, then stepped forward to greet the boy who had rushed over. The girl found a place to rest, then returned to her residence and found the kitchen door Kui Zhi. She asked Kui Zhi to trouble her to prepare meals for these people.

"No problem, sir."

Kamado Kui-e readily agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Kuizhi. In a couple of days, some 'hermits' will come to help. Then we won't have to work so hard. These next few days might be a bit tough."

"Being able to help Mr. Kui is Kui's good fortune, and she doesn't feel bitter at all."

Kamado Aoi shook her head and handed a clean towel to the man.

Su Mu took the towel and wiped the sweat from his body during training. To be honest, even as a perfect being, his body would still sweat and feel a little tired after training for a long time, but it wasn't obvious, just a general feeling.

After wiping the sweat off his body, Su Mu handed the towel to Kamado Aoi before returning to Urokodaki Sakonji's side.

At this moment, the boys and girls who had been brought by Urokodaki Sakonji were gathered together, and Urokodaki Sakonji was telling them some basic things, as well as some breathing rhythms.

Su Mu went to the side and did not disturb them, but listened attentively. He was actually quite lacking in these basic things.

After speaking for about half an hour, Urokodaki Sakonji stopped and had Makomo, who had stopped training, take the boys and girls to their accommodation for the night. These were the rooms of Makomo's former senior brothers and sisters, as well as Sabito, and the rooms had been empty for a long time.

"Hasn't the child arrived yet?"

Su Mu gazed into the distance.

"Let's go take a look."

Urokodaki Sakonji was also somewhat surprised. The boy named Shinazugawa Genya was clearly physically weak, while the other boy was very strong. Logically speaking, their battle should have ended quickly.

After all, when he left, Shinazugawa Genya was almost at a complete disadvantage and had little power to fight back.

"it is good."

Su Mu was also curious, so he followed Urokodaki Sakonji down the mountain to take a look.

The two had only walked a few steps when they saw a young man covered in blood limping up the mountain with difficulty.

"Is this the person Urokodaki-senpai is talking about?"

Su Mu's gaze fell on the boy, who was covered in blood and looked like he could barely stand, yet he still insisted on climbing the mountain. Every movement he made seemed to require all his strength.

Urokodaki Sakonji silently looked at the boy and shook his head: "It's not this person, but another strong child. I just didn't expect him to win. I didn't anticipate it. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to win."

"Go and take a look, ask around and you'll find out."

Su Mu shook his head, strode over, and leaped through the mountains, soon landing in front of the boy.

"You're badly injured; it looks quite serious."

Su Mu helped the boy up.

"At least, he's not dead yet, is he?"

The boy replied, then tilted his head back, his gaze fixed on the old man wearing a tengu mask in front of him: "I won, he lost."

"Logically speaking, you should have lost."

Urokodaki Sakon sighed softly.

"Because he dared not kill me, the fight could not end. When my left hand was broken and I could not move it, I used my right hand. When my right hand could not move, I used my mouth to bite and headbutt. As long as there was still a part of my body that could attack, I would keep fighting... until the end of my life."

"Unbelievable..."

Urokodaki Sakonji was somewhat emotional. Although he hadn't seen the actual battle scene, he could imagine what it was like.

Where is that person?

Su Mu asked a question from the side.

"I scared them away."

The boy raised his head, the scar extending from his right cheek to his nose making his youthful face look somewhat terrifying: "He was so scared that he ran away."

With that, the boy raised his head and looked at Urokodaki Sakonji: "Now, may I follow you and learn the skills of demon hunting?"

Why bother with that?

Urokodaki Sakonji sighed slightly and stepped forward to check on the boy's injuries.

The boy was badly injured, but he didn't seem to care much or the pain. He just grinned and said, "If I didn't have this level of awareness, then I wouldn't need to learn how to hunt ghosts, and I wouldn't need to hunt ghosts."

Urokodaki Sakonji and Su Mu couldn't help but glance at the boy.

The boy didn't say anything more.

Because he had already lost consciousness.

Chapter 160 The flowers may eventually fall, but the wind never stops.

蝴蝶屋

Clean and tidy treatment room

The pungent smell of disinfectant mingled with the faint fragrance of wisteria blossoms, filling the entire room.

"With such a serious injury, why don't you take better care of yourself?"

A voice as gentle as warm sunshine rang in the man's ear.

"Shut up, stop talking and get my injuries treated right away. I still have a ghost-hunting mission to complete, don't waste my time."

Sanemi Shinazugawa raised his head and spoke somewhat rudely, his attitude extremely unreasonable, even towards the person who was treating him.

Beside her, Kanae Kocho, who was busily bandaging her wounds, looked up with a helpless expression: "Your injuries are very serious. Not only are these injuries, but even the injuries you sustained last time haven't fully healed. If this continues, it will be very harmful to your body. You should take better care of yourself."

Kanae Kocho said with a hint of helplessness, "If this continues, Kagino will probably worry you to death."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Kanae Kocho shut her mouth, only to suddenly remember that Masachika Kamino was already dead.

That gentle, talkative man, who treated Shinazugawa Sanemi like a younger brother, is dead.

He died while accompanying Shinazugawa Sanemi to slay the Lower Moon One of the Twelve Demon Moons, Ubume.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought these things up."

"It's ok."
