From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

"Going east?"

Kujo Tachibana took his Nichirin sword, set up the iron pot he used before, left the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and embarked on his journey of slaying demons again.

However, this journey might be extremely difficult, and Kujo Tachibana has already prepared himself mentally.

If you can't do it, then die on this road.

A swordsman's fate should not be to fall on his bed!

Because of the activation of the markings and the burst of vitality, he didn't have much time left.

If Kujo Tachibana had chosen to work behind closed doors within the Demon Slayer Corps in less than three years, he would not have been sure that he would be able to develop a new breathing method.

He had only two purposes for this trip. One was to find the future male protagonist, Tanjiro's father, Tanjuro, and ask him to learn the Sun Breathing Technique.

The second is to use the evil spirits' training to polish and create his own breathing method!

...

In fact, Kujo Tachibana had a hunch that the Sun Breathing Technique could definitely show him a new path!

After all, when it comes down to it, in this world, only Sun Breathing is the most perfect breathing method.

However, this "perfection" only applies to one person.

Other breathing methods are derived from this perfect sun breathing.

What Kujo Tachibana has to do now is to create a perfect breathing method for himself based on the body's breathing method!

Alas, I received the first negative review. I put a lot of effort into this book. Maybe the writing in the later part was not good. I will finish Demon Slayer as soon as possible.

If you feel uncomfortable reading it, I hope you can still comment in the chapter. I will read every comment and make changes if it makes sense to logic. Book reviews will affect the performance of this book. The author also needs to eat, so please help.

Chapter 41 Young people should exercise restraint!

This morning, in the small town at the foot of Mt. Kumotori in the Okutama Mountains.

After a long journey of more than ten days, Kujo Tachibana finally found this place.

Jiujo Ju was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, but instead strolled leisurely in the town for a while.

From time to time, I would pick out a few gifts suitable for home visits from a vendor.

Holding the headdresses worn by several little girls, Jiujo Ju looked at the stall owner and asked, "Old lady, I want to ask you something."

"Is there a family selling charcoal on Yunqu Mountain named Zaomen?"

The gray-haired old lady looked at Kujo Tachibana's attire and didn't feel that he looked like a bad person.

Fortunately, Kujo Tachibana had the foresight to wrap his Nichirin sword in cloth before entering the town, and he was now carrying it on his back.

"What do you want from the Kamado family?"

Jiujo Ju scratched his head. This old man is really cautious!

He had no choice but to lie:

"My family is in the charcoal burning business."

"I heard that the charcoal made by the Kamado family is very good, so I thought I would come and visit them in the summer."

"Let them burn more charcoal this year, and I'll come and collect it in winter."

The old man nodded and said:

"Oh, I see!"

"Then wait here for a while. I'll let my son take you up the mountain to find them."

"Thank you very much!" Kujo Tachibana responded sincerely.

After a while, a middle-aged man followed the old man here.

-

Half a day later, until noon, Kujo Tachibana and the uncle arrived at the house of the Kamado family on Mount Kumotori.

The uncle yelled at the lonely wooden house in the mountains:

"Tanjuro, are you home?"

Before the two of them had to wait any longer, a man with long dark red hair, a yellow face, and a shallow scar on the left forehead walked out of the room while coughing.

Tanjuro looked at Watanabe Yuta at the door and a strangely dressed young man holding a gift box.

Although he was a little confused, he still said enthusiastically:

"It's Brother Yuta! And this little brother, let's go inside first and talk."

Kujo Tachibana followed the two of them and walked into Tanjuro's wooden house. Without looking around, he politely handed the gift box in his hand to the hostess of the house, Aoi Kamado.

"I'm sorry for the expense." Aoi Kamado took the gift box and said gently.

At this time, the middle-aged uncle Yuta also started to introduce Kujo Tachibana:

"This young man wanted to come to your house to buy charcoal, so I brought him here."

The Kamado family suddenly realized that this situation had happened before, but the people involved were all acquaintances in the town at the foot of the mountain.

"Tanjuro, I still have some work to do at home, and I'll be busy this afternoon, so I'll be back first!"

"Brother, after you finish talking, is it okay for you to go down the mountain alone?" Yuta turned his head and asked Kujo Tachibana.

Jiujo Tachibana smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem, thank you so much for troubling you today, Uncle Yuta!"

Seeing Watanabe Yuta turning around and preparing to leave, Tanjuro hurriedly stopped him and said:

"Yuta, let's have a meal before we leave!"

Watanabe Yuta didn't even turn his head, just waved his hand and walked out of the house.

There are too many children in Tanjuro's family. Tanjuro's younger brother is not in good health, and charcoal burning is not a profitable business.

Especially since it is still summer, one can easily imagine the conditions in their home at this moment.

Fortunately, he had nothing to do this morning, so he just brought Jiu Tiaoju over. They have been friends for many years, so how could he just ask for a free meal?

Didn’t you see that brother Tanjuro looked malnourished, pale and skinny from hunger?

How could he have the nerve to stay for dinner!

Tanjuro looked at Watanabe Yuta's back helplessly. He naturally knew what Yuta was thinking.

Kujo Tachibana looked at Uncle Yuta thoughtfully as he left.

I thought to myself, "This uncle is quite nice!"

...

In the house, Kujo Tachibana and Tanjuro sat opposite each other, while Kamado Aoi went to prepare lunch.

Little Tanjiro and Nezuko lay on the side of the cabin, taking the initiative to take care of their younger brother and sister without disturbing the conversation between the two adults in the main house.

Kujo Tachibana looked at Tanjuro in front of him, who had a gentle temperament and was somewhat similar to Ubuyashiki Kōya, and said very sincerely:

"Mr. Tanjuro, I'm very sorry, but I'm not here to buy charcoal."

Tanjuro nodded, looking very calm, as if he had known the result already.

However, this aroused a hint of curiosity in Jiujo Tachibana, and he couldn't help but ask:

"It seems that Mr. Tanjuro has already guessed it?"

Tanjuro smiled and explained:

"I've seen the clothes you're wearing before. That cloth bag on your back must be a knife that can kill man-eating demons."

Jiujo Tachibana suddenly realized.

"So you've already met the members of our Demon Slayer Corps!"

Tanjuro shook his head and said:

"So you guys are from a place called the Demon Slayer Corps!"

"Three years ago, a man-eating evil ghost came to this mountain."

"When I noticed his trace, I went to look for him."

"But when I got nearby, I saw someone wearing your clothes and chopped off the cannibal's head with one blow."

"He didn't know it at the time, but I was in the woods nearby."

Jiujo Ju frowned and asked:

"Do cannibal ghosts often come to Yunqu Mountain?"

After Tanjuro recalled for a moment, he spoke:

"Not really. When I was a teenager, my mother told me about the cannibalistic evil spirits."

"Over the years, there have only been four of them!"

Kujo Tachibana nodded. He didn't ask where these evil spirits had gone. There was no need to ask, because Tanjuro must have taken care of them.

Although Tanjuro doesn't know it yet, the God of Fire Kagura is actually the thirteen sword forms of Sun Breathing.

However, relying solely on the transparent world that Tanjuro has comprehended, other cannibalistic ghosts cannot pose a threat to him except for evil ghosts at the level of the Twelve Kizuki.

As for the scar on his head, after observation by Kujo Tachibana, it should not be a sign of natural markings.

Maybe it really is a birthmark!

As for why, in the original work, Tanjuro passed away early, leaving behind a house full of orphans and a widow.

Jiujo Ju felt that he had roughly found it.

This reason made him laugh and cry. He could only say that young people should exercise restraint...

If your family is not well off, it is better not to have so many children.

Using breathing techniques will itself consume a lot of physical energy. Coupled with long-term malnutrition, the body's energy only goes out but does not get replenished. How can you not collapse?

If Tanjuro and his wife had not made so many dolls, with their combined labor, Tanjuro would have been able to relax and have enough food to eat.

He shouldn't die young like in the original book.

Chapter 42 Yang Pillar

Next, Kujo Tachibana told Tanjuro about the Demon Slayer Corps and the affairs between Tanjuro's ancestors, Tankichi Kamado and Yoriichi Tsugikoku.

Tanjuro was also hearing this news for the first time. After digesting it for a while, he asked:

"So, little brother, you said that the Fire God Kagura passed down in our family is actually what you call the Breathing of the Sun, right?"

Jiujo Tachibana nodded and said in a very serious tone:

"And it is the most powerful breathing method in the world!"

(Kujo Tachibana: If you hadn’t been suffering from chronic malnutrition, you wouldn’t be like this now.) Of course, Kujo Tachibana didn’t say this foolishly.

"Oh, I see! Then what's the matter with you coming to our house, young man?" Tanjuro asked curiously.

Jiujo Tachibana thought for a moment before speaking:

"Mr. Tanjuro, I came here mainly for two things."

"First, I hope to learn the Breathing of the Sun, also known as Kagura, the Goddess of Fire, from you."

"The second thing is that I hope you can take your family and leave here to join the Demon Slayer Corps."

"If you don't want to join the Demon Slayer Corps, that's fine, but you must move out of here!"

Tanjuro frowned and said in confusion:

"It's okay to teach you the God of Fire Kagura, after all, you're also here to kill man-eating demons, but why do you want us to move?"

"You know, our Kamado family has lived on this Kumotori Mountain for generations."

"Besides, our family is living happily here now. Why should we go to an unfamiliar environment and start over?"

"Brother, no matter what the reason is, I will not move."

Tanjuro's attitude is very firm!

Jiujo Ju slapped his head helplessly, and thought about it!
