Before he could even open his mouth to speak, the tall evil ghost began to ask questions.

"Who are you?! Why are you stronger than that guy wearing a fox mask?! You damn Demon Slayers, why are you trying to stop me?!"

"Fox mask?"

Tanjiro was a little concerned and couldn't help but ask carefully.

Then the tall evil ghost arrogantly recounted how all the children wearing fox masks had died tragically at the hands of the hand ghost.

"I was just careless for a moment! Give me another chance and I'll definitely crush your head! You'll end up like those little brats with fox masks!"

Tanjiro was angry, very angry.

He couldn't help but pound the ground hard, and a big hole was created by him.

The scattered ripples extended to the body of the tall evil ghost, melting its torso a little more.

“Ahhhhhhh??!! W-What is this?!”

Hearing the demon's roar, Tanjiro took a deep breath and asked.

"Where's that hand ghost?"

"It's been captured by some strange people. Please don't kill me! What else do you want to know? I'll tell you everything!"

A strange person? Tanjiro thought that it was a high-ranking member of the Demon Slayer Corps who discovered the hand ghost, so he stopped asking and returned to the question he had been asking.

"So, do you know how to turn a ghost back into a human?"

The tall evil ghost was just yelling, but he immediately became timid after being hit by the ripple. He also responded to Tanjiro's questions immediately.

"I don't know, but maybe that gentleman will know..."

"That lord? Who is he?"

"I can't tell you! I can't tell you. No!"

When this was mentioned, the tall evil ghost suddenly trembled, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Tanjiro was in a bad mood and didn't want to ask any more questions.

"Goodbye, then."

With the ripple qigong running, Tanjiro exuded the breath of the sun. The tall evil ghost was very frightened. He didn't want to die and kept squirming desperately.

"Don't... don't come here!"

But he couldn't run away at all, Tanjiro walked towards him step by step.

"Don't come near me!!!"

The Sun Wheel Sword with ripples was swung out quickly, and the tall evil ghost's head flew up and was liberated on the spot.

"I... just want to live... why... are you trying to stop me..."

He was unwilling to die like this, but under the dual effects of the ripples and the Sun Blade, he was already dead.

"why?"

When Tanjiro saw the evil ghost's appearance, he no longer thought about the sad things happening to his senior brothers and sisters. He lowered his body and looked at the tall evil ghost with compassion.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me, and if I can help you fulfill them, I'll try to do it."

Why……

The tall evil ghost has forgotten why he wants to live, or rather, he is just living purely for the sake of living.

"I have no idea……"

Tanjiro's expression grew even sadder.

"If that's all you're doing, killing others just to keep yourself alive, I'm sorry, but I have to punish you."

To reduce his pain, Tanjiro used ripples to liberate the last head of the evil spirit.

"May you live a meaningful life in your next life."

The evil spirit disappeared, Tanjiro clasped his hands together, meditated for a moment, and stood up.

Kanao just looked at this strange man.

Is he so gentle to murderous evil spirits?

Just like Master Kanae...

This gentle boy who had nothing to do with him left a slight shadow in Kanao's heart.

Tanjiro was politely declined by Kanao's invitation to travel with him, and he set out on his journey alone again. This time, there were no other evil spirits that could be singled out, and they were all killed by Tanjiro with his water breathing.

Similarly, no one could tell him how to restore Nezuko to a human.

Seventh day.

As expected, Tanjiro arrived at the top of a mountain covered with wisteria flowers.

"Eh? Only four people?"

Tanjiro was a little surprised and looked at the three people except himself.

Kanao Kurika is also among them. The elimination rate is a bit high. There were obviously more than twenty people before.

Tanjiro greeted Kanao, and she nodded and smiled in response, then ignored him.

He looked around for his elder brother Qiuqiu, but he didn't see him.

Because Qiu Wenjian is looking for trouble with a pig-headed boy.

It was probably Kronos's time and space distortion combined with the gust of wind that broke through and gently cut him, collected a few drops of blood, and healed him with ripples.

Before Inosuke Hashibira could react to what was happening, Qiu Wenjian had already run away.

Well, the Breathing of the Beast of this pig-headed boy is also a kind of breathing style. Qiu Wenjian, a collector, will definitely not let it go.

"Congratulations everyone."

The two little girls who explained the situation at the beginning came out again.

Although the one with black hair is a boy, that is not the point.

They explained what the next four people who joined the Demon Slayer Corps should do.

The crows that distribute and transmit messages, the measurements of team uniforms, and the tamagotaki that crafts the Nichirin swords.

Then, the grumpy old man with a long scar on his face stepped forward and grabbed the white-haired girl's hair.

"Crows and whatever are all fine! Where's the knife?! Give me the knife! The color-changing blade of the Demon Slayer Corps!"

Then, a big hand grabbed the wrist of this grumpy old man.

The irritable boy named Fuzuigawa Genya looked up at the tall Tanjiro.

"Huh? What are you doing?!"

"Let go of this kid! Or I'll break your wrists!"

"Ahh? Who are you?!"

Kanao didn't look over here, while the yellow-haired boy Zenitsu Agatsuma was panicked and didn't know what to do, muttering "What should I do?"

"Try it if you dare!"

Fuzukawa Genya provoked Tanjiro, and Tanjiro decisively broke his hand.

The grumpy boy took a few steps back, and Tanjiro stood in front of the white-haired girl. He was a gentle boy, but when he helped the weak and protected others, he would become extremely strong and determined.

"Have you finished what you wanted to say?"

The black-haired boy dressed as a girl (Tanjiro didn't realize it was a boy) said this without any emotion, and then showed the platform behind him.

"Then, choose the jeweled steel from here. The steel that will slay evil spirits and protect your sword is for you to choose."

Tanjiro looked at it, then stopped and asked.

"Can I have any other requests for the forged knife?"

"Please say."

Tanjiro felt that his sword was too short.

Qiu Wenjian also felt that Tanjiro's current painting style was somewhat incompatible with the Nichirin Sword.

At least it should be longer to match Tanjiro's height, otherwise it will be like a short sword and have no deterrent effect.

But Tanjiro himself didn't think so. When he was transmitting the ripples to the Nichirin Sword, he discovered a characteristic, that is, the larger the ripples, the more the blade will inevitably shake. After all, the ripples themselves are also a kind of vibrating energy. It is the energy that causes the blood to fluctuate due to breathing. It is called a ripple, so it is normal to have fluctuations.

If the knife is long enough, the fluctuation will be greater and it can carry more ripples. He wants to use a longer weapon to make better use of the ripples.

Chapter 98 Chapter 41 My Brother Has Changed Too Much

"I want the knife to be longer and, if possible, more resilient. Also, I want two knives."

Brother Qiuqiu said that you need three weapons and equipment. In addition to the one you are using, one is a spare and the other is a spare for the spare.

But Tanjiro was embarrassed to ask for three swords. Two-sword style was acceptable, but three-sword style was too weird. How would he hold the extra sword? Should he hold it in his mouth?

"Let's do it this way. Mr. Ubuyashiki will agree."

A voice came from not far away, and everyone present turned around to look.

"Brother Qiuqiu?!"

When Tanjiro saw Qiu Wenjian, he ran over happily.

"Well, not bad, I passed the test."

Qiu Wenjian patted Tanjiro's shoulder with a look of relief on his face.

"Hehe~"

Tanjiro smiled innocently, and Qiu Wenjian pointed at the table.

"Well, go pick your own steel."

Then, Qiu Wenjian spoke to the black-haired boy in women's clothing standing beside him.

"Please ask the swordsmith to make him three swords."

"Eh?! Brother Qiuqiu, two will be enough..."

"No! How many times have I told you! You have to have three!"

Tanjiro touched his head a little embarrassedly, while the black-haired boy in women's clothing nodded at Qiu Wenjian.

"Okay, dear guest, let's do it this way."

"I'm not a distinguished guest now."

Qiu Wenjian smiled faintly.

"I am now the tenth pillar out of the nine. You can call me..."

"Shenzhu!"

——————Transition dividing line——————

Qiu Wenjian and Tanjiro returned all the way to Sagiri Mountain.

On the way, Tanjiro told Qiu Wenjian about his experiences on Fujixi Mountain.

"As a result, when the ghosts saw the ripples, they were all scared out of their wits. Only one slightly more powerful one said that someone might know, but he refused to say the details."

Tanjiro sighed helplessly.

"I don't know if Nezuko has woken up yet."

"Don't worry, if your family members are still alive, they will protect you. Nezuko will be fine."

What Qiu Wenjian said is true. This world has the existence of souls, and the phenomenon of the souls of deceased people helping their living relatives often occurs.

Tanjiro also said that the food on the mountain was not enough for him to eat, and he still exercised every day and set up defensive traps. He also talked about the story of Kanao Kurika.

This made Qiu Wenjian quite interested. The plot had been changed by him. Did Tanjiro come into contact with Kanao Kurika in advance?
