Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 131 – My wife told me to go home for dinner
……

on the street.

Tanjuro and Beimingyu are guarding Yiwoza who is immersed in hallucinations.

soon.

Da da da!
On the roof across the street came the clatter of footsteps and tiles.

"Mr. Kamado——!"

Purgatory Kyojuro yelled, his haori was blown by the wind, he ran and jumped off the roof: "Sorry! We are late!"

boom!
He landed on the street suddenly, his legs squatting slightly to relieve the pressure.

"Has it been resolved?" Kyojuro raised his head, and looked at Tanjuro who turned his head to look at him in high spirits.

After looking around, Xing Shoulang's gaze stayed on Yiwozuo whose half body was turned into ashes.

——It’s the winding ghost!
This look...

He raised his big piercing eyes.

Already half dead!

Although he was a bit puzzled, seeing Tanjuro and Beimingyu's composure, he acted very naturally.

"So that's how it is!" Xing Shoulang stood up suddenly, crossed his arms, smiled and nodded loudly.

pat.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki followed closely behind, lightly stepping on the ground, appearing expressionless.

He glanced at the chacha ball on Tanjuro's shoulder unexpectedly.

Then, after his eyes stayed on Yiwozao for a while, Tomioka Giyu looked at Anjuro next to him strangely.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka asked in a low voice:

"...The current situation is...?"

Xingshourou turned around very happily, his thick red flame hair swaying, and he showed his white teeth with a cheerful smile:

"do not know!"

Swish!He gave a thumbs up:

"But it must be fine!"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka was taken aback.

——?
Cold sweat slowly dripped from his forehead, and he felt that the eldest son of the Purgatory family in front of him was, compared to his father...

A little... too talkative.

Thinking about it, he retracted his eyes.

Still, it felt pretty good.

Sensing Tomioka Yoshiyuki's mood becoming light, Beimingyu cast a suspicious "look".

At this time.

In front of several people.

Yiwozuo, who was standing there, trembled suddenly.

creak!

The creaking sounds of the flesh one after another, immediately attracted the attention of several people present.

rustle…

The last trace of pink gas on the ground drifted away, and the tip of Yiwozuo's nose twitched, as if he was enduring something with difficulty, his right half of the body regenerated rapidly.

As the ground liquid dries up completely.

Yi Wo Zuo's dazed eyes quickly became clear.

He blinked his eyes in a trance, and was stunned on the spot.

This is... my station.

Looking up, the pale bright moon was reflected in his eyes.

The blackened field of vision met the eyes of Tanjuro and the others one by one.

The vast expanse of white just now, the huge Sakura Dragon, and the vivid red sword all disappeared in an instant.

Take a deep breath.

"I... came out?" Yi Wozuo shook his head, whispered something, his expression was still a little confused:

"What was...just about..."

While talking to himself, he lowered his head unintentionally, and glanced at his right half of the body which was being regenerated from the ashes.

The pupils shrank suddenly.

—The life force has indeed passed away!

——What I saw just now happened for real!

That also means that the knife...

In the middle of self-doubt, Yi Wozuo suddenly remembered what he was going to do, and raised his head suddenly.

Glancing left and right, he finally locked onto Tanjuro. He subconsciously opened his posture and clenched his fists.

In the field of vision, Tanjuro's body quickly became transparent.

He has already stepped into the so-called supreme realm!
[Destruction Kill · Compass Needle]!
creak!

All the muscles in my body suddenly became tense!

I noticed Yiwozuo's hand movement.

"Don't even think about it...!" The monk Beimingyu shook his clothes, raised his strong arms, and subconsciously swung the meteor hammer and broad knife in his hands.

"Wait a minute."

Tanjuro said in a low voice, he stood in front of Beimingyu.

The still red wedge in his hand hangs down the blade - he is ready to take the head of Yi Wo Zuo at any time.

Turning around, looking at the Isle of Sorrows:
"Believe me."

Seeing this, Beimingyu was silent for a while, and slowly put down the sun wheel knife in his hand.

at the same time.

"No mistake!!" Yiwoza clenched his teeth, fixed his eyes on Tanjuro, and shouted:

"Defeat that guy, the human holding that sword!"

"It's you!"

boom! !

The ground under his feet cracked suddenly, Yi Wozuo stepped on the ground hard, and the vigilance of his whole body was maximized.

Absolutely!

In his eyes, Tanjuro's appearance was reflected very clearly.

This guy was just seen in the illusion——

Defeat that behemoth human!
Possessing vitality far beyond that of a ghost, he can freely control such a terrifying and ominous blade!

In other words, my own guess——

The guy who killed the first string must be him!

Think about this.

Yiwozuo's fighting spirit, which had been suppressed abruptly just now, rose again, although he couldn't fight such a creature in person.

But he can - choose a stronger target!

Clenched fists!

[Destroy Kill·Destroy Style]!
boom! !

He stepped out, and his bare feet slammed onto the street mixed with dirt and stones. The beads on his ankles suddenly vibrated under the force and made a clanking sound.

"Roar--!!"

Yiwozuo opened his arms and bent his upper body slightly. The movement of his muscles was clearly visible under the floating short shirt.

The blood ghost technique exploded with all its strength, and hundreds of years of martial arts were poured into this moment!
Build up!

boom--!
An invisible force erupted from the whole body!Enveloping the entire ghost of Yiwozuo, the continuous and rapid upwelling energy brought a gust of wind!Spread around!

The updraft even blurred Yiwozuo's roaring appearance!

opposite,

Hearing Yiwoza's words, Tanjuro led Kyojurou and the others, and jumped a few steps back and forth.

He frowned and looked at Yi Wo Zuo with some confusion.

Yiwozuo's voice echoed in his ears.

that guy?Hold the sword?

As Tanjuro jumped out of the range of Yiwozao's charged attack, he turned his head strangely and couldn't help but frown.

Lowering his eyes, he looked at the envelope written by Juse in his hand as if confirming again.

[It varies from person to person]——

He just guessed that what Yi Wo Zuo saw was most likely his own memory when he was a human.

In that case, Yiwozuo who has regained himself should be in a state of self-loathing and regret, and try to commit suicide.

but now.

Tanjuro looked at Yiwoza again, and was even more puzzled when he saw the other party bursting out with all his strength.

He couldn't help but think in his heart.

——What did Yi Wozuo see?
Bloated! !

The muddy ground on the street floor was lifted up by the sudden gushing airflow, floating in mid-air like anti-gravity.

Yiwozuo stood in the center of the airflow, his eyes turned white, and the fangs of the evil spirit stretched out ferociously.

Whoa-! !

bang!bang!
The further expanding airflow blows against the wooden doors on both sides of the street, making a decaying sound.

"Stove door." Bei Mingyu stepped on the edge of the eaves, he turned his head to Tanjuro, and the airflow from the middle of the street blew the ends of his hair.

The two lines of clear tears flowing from the eye sockets were blown away by the gust of wind.

The voice of speaking was weakened by the wind around the ears.

It can be barely seen from the shape of his mouth that he seems to be asking when to attack.Tanjuro's eyes were also focused on Yiwoza in the middle of the street, and the flower earrings under his earlobe were constantly swaying by the air current.

Tanjuro didn't wait for a response.

on the street.

"Hey——!!"

Yiwozuo roared ferociously, he had already fully charged at this moment, his footsteps were on the ground, and his whole body was poured with strength, ready to turn into an afterimage and charge forward.

tread!
Just took a step!
next moment!
Creak——!
The soles of his feet stepped on the ground, twisted awkwardly, made a harsh sound, and abruptly stopped moving forward.

"Pfft! Cough ho?!" Yi Wozuo choked suddenly.

He failed to take the second step, and even staggered in a strange posture.

He looked behind him in amazement.

His stature stagnated, and his sprinting movement stopped.

Bloated!
The huge airflow rising around seemed to be suddenly misfired, and disappeared in an instant.

The dirt and gravel floating in mid-air jumped suddenly.

pat pat pat.

The gravel seemed to have lost the power to float, and fell to the ground weakly.

On both sides of the street, the swinging house doors gradually calmed down.

Yiwozuo kept looking back, spreading his legs like a horse, and stood in the middle of the street with a frozen expression.

Like a sculpture, it stands motionless.

Only a wisp of thin white mist remained, enveloping the surface of the body and gradually drifting away.

"The ghost stopped!"

Xing Shoulang opened his eyes squinted by the wind, raised the blade, and repeatedly clenched the handle with his fingers, looking eager to try:

"Is now a good opportunity?"

"Be careful, it might be a trap." Tomioka Yoshiyuki stood beside him, his eyes lowered, ready to draw his sword at any time:

"Stay alert, Purgatory."

aside.

"This is..." Wei Mingyu put down the hand covering his ears. Seeing this, his alert mind froze, and his body in a defensive posture slowly stood up straight.

perception.

The murderous aura and fighting spirit that filled Yi Wo Zuo's body disappeared almost in an instant.

It was as if a lunatic had suddenly turned into a very rational and normal person.

"He gave up the fight..."

why?
Sad Mingyu frowned.

Puzzled, he turned to face Tanjuro.

Tanjuro observed Yiwoza's appearance, and saw the other party's expression of surprise and confusion.

The flower earrings swayed slightly.

He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's it, it's done."

Withdrawing his eyes, Tanjuro nodded to Beimingyu:
"Go down."

heard.

"Nanwu..." Beimingyu lowered his hand holding the chain of the meteor hammer, and he silently recited the Buddha's name in his heart:
"So...the purpose of this is to...?"

Tanjuro didn't take the wedge ball back into the sheath, his eyes stayed on Yiwoza, his tone was calm but decisive:
"Instigate rebellion and wind up."

Sorrowful Island froze for a moment,
incite defection?

——?
In surprise, he turned around completely and "looked" at Tanjuro's side face and the slightly raised levator anguli oris muscle of the other person, and he was stunned.

Didn't wait for him to react.

Tanjuro jumped off the roof in a hurry.

——When Yiwozuo commits suicide, it will be too late.

……

middle of the street.

Yi Wozuo turned his head, he looked at the phantom figure holding his hand in surprise, and didn't move for a while.

"what…"

The girl's fair arms were hastily exposed outside the pink kimono. She held Yiwoza's arm tightly, as if she was afraid of losing it.

She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to herself:

"...Great, I finally caught it."

She subconsciously worked hard to breathe. After realizing that she no longer had tuberculosis, the girl's face turned slightly rosy and she slowly raised her head.

The pink eyes have flower-like white pupils, which are very beautiful and special.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.

The moonlight was reflected in those eyes at the moment, turning around in doubt, the normal complexion——

——The one named "Komaji", who looks like a boy.

……

The pale moonlight shone down on the streets where rubble and ruins were piled up everywhere.

Yiwozuo turned his head in a daze, and looked at the girl behind her with her hair tied up and wearing a silver snowflake hairpin.

"...enough is enough."

She raised her head, with a pleading tone, her nose was a little sore.

After seeing Yiwozuo's face full of [sinner tattoos], the girl could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.

In memory, the tattoo that Mr. Komaji was sentenced for stealing medicinal materials and fighting only exists on the arm, and there are only three stripes.

No one can give Yiwozuo, who has turned into a ghost, more tattoos representing sinners.

Now, the tattoos spread all over the body...

It's telling.

——[I am a sinner].

Thinking of this, tears flowed down the girl's cheeks, she pursed her lips:
"Please stop, Mr. Komaji."

The flower-like pupils trembled:

"Already, there is no need to become stronger."

These words seemed to have magical power, the moment the girl's timid voice fell.

The remnants of unwillingness and fighting spirit remained in Yiwozuo's eyes.

Dissipate completely.

boom!
A stone in my heart fell heavily.

Followed by countless questions.

Komaji?

Who is Komaji?

"You..." Yiwozuo frowned in disbelief, just about to ask the other party's identity.

But the words were choked on his lips, and he couldn't say anything.

Yi Wozuo was stunned.

why--

Why does he think words like "Who are you?" are hurtful words.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and his golden eyes were bloodshot.

No - after all, as a ghost, how could he feel compassion for humans?

"…open!"

Yiwozuo, who had just recovered from his daze, blinked hard and subconsciously wanted to pull his arm out of the girl's hand.

The girl's body seemed to be very weak. She staggered a bit but still did not let go.

Instead, he raised his head, stood on tiptoe with difficulty, and whispered:

"I, I am Lianxue."

She was sweating profusely from anxiety, her face turned morbidly rosy, and she explained in a trembling tone:

"Let's not do any more bad things."

He took two hard breaths:

"Okay?"

before.

Yiwo Zuo saw that Lianxue's face seemed to be red due to the rise in body temperature, and she was sweating profusely.

In my mind, familiar scenes began to overlap countless times.

He was slightly taken aback.

……

Then quickly reacted.

Oops!

He quickly reached out and wiped the sweat from Lianxue's forehead, and Yiwozuo's expression became anxious.

If this continues, the condition will worsen!

Yi Wozuo subconsciously turned his head and looked around.

- towels and hot water in…

The moment his eyes touched the broken rubble around him.

He came to his senses and froze in place.
