Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 160 - Let's go home...
at the same time.

Butterfly House.

The Butterfly House, which was almost completely destroyed by the previous fight, is now being rebuilt.

The idle team members organized themselves spontaneously and were busy working.

"Sayyo, give me the hammer."

Senjuro stretched out his hand towards Sayori who was standing on the ground.

Sayori and Chijuro were together, contributing their little bit of strength by helping the team members standing on the roof pass various tools.

"Hanako, come help too!"

Kamado Hanako was jogging, trying to hold a hammer in her hand, but the weight of the hammer was beyond her ability to bear at her age:

"hey-hey…!"

So it looked like she was just jogging with the hammer in her arms.

At this time.

pat.

A hand appeared in Hanako's field of vision and grasped the hammer.

And pick up easily.

Hanako's gaze looked upwards as the hammer rose, and a figure was reflected in her childish eyes.

That's Takeo Kamado.

"Just leave this matter to my brother!"

Kamado Takeo casually carried the hammer on his shoulder, patted his chest confidently, and was secretly proud of himself:

"Hey!" He raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help laughing.

Tanjiro has always been the eldest brother in the family.

This time, he finally experienced what it felt like to be a brother.

As he thought about it, he hummed a little tune, and under the worried gaze of Hanako behind him, he climbed onto the roof in three or two steps and began to repair the broken tiles.

pat.

There were footsteps coming from the side, and Hanako subconsciously turned her head to look.

"Takeo-nii has always wanted to be like Tanjiro-nii."

Kamado Shigeru held his youngest brother Rokuta in his arms, patted him gently on the back, and stood next to Hanako, shaking his head helplessly:

"Everyone is the same."

He comforted his sleeping brother, turned sideways, and looked back at Hanako behind him:
"Hanako-sister, let's go, Takeo-sister won't fall down."

"Mom still needs us."

Hanako heard this and looked between Takeo and Shigeru for a moment before looking away and nodding:

"Ok!"

...

The other side.

The open space cleared from the ruins.

"...someone over here... help!"

The hidden team member in black uniform gritted his teeth, held up the bricks that were taller than him with his hands, and moved forward step by step with difficulty with his legs bent into a horse stance.

He squeezed out a cry for help from between his teeth:

“Hurry up…! I can’t hold on…any more!!”

The moment when you feel you have reached your limit.

"coming!!"

Tanjiro's voice sounded not far away.

He waved his arms, put down another task he was doing, adjusted his breathing and made a sprint.

The hidden team member only felt a gust of wind, and then his hand felt light.

"Okay! Be careful!" came Tanjiro's gentle voice.

In the blink of an eye, he had taken the stacked bricks from the hidden team member and nodded with a smile, looking effortless.

Then he turned around and walked towards the outer wall.

Only Yin was left standing there in a daze, stroking his head and muttering to himself:

“…That’s amazing.”

aside.

Swish!Swish!
A figure wearing a pig head is running around in the construction site:
"Hehe! This king is the strongest!"

When I looked closely, I saw that it was Inosuke who was carrying wood and moving it among the crowd.

The hidden team members who passed by were all frightened and panicked.

"That pig..." The dusty Agatsuma Zenitsu stood not far away. He raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Inosuke in disbelief:
“Are you really helping…?”

Agatsuma Zenitsu blinked his eyes, and his tone gradually became more confident. He pointed at Inosuke and shouted:
"You're totally messing around!"

"Sigh..." Yin, who was passing by, shook his head helplessly. He reached out and patted Zenitsu's shoulder, his eyes tired, and then walked away silently.

Agatsuma Zenitsu was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and glanced at the ruins of the Butterfly House where he was busy.

At this time.

"Everyone--"

Nezuko's voice rang out from the door of the Butterfly House.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention and they all turned their heads to look.

She and Aoi were pulling two carts of steaming rice balls, waving their arms as they walked towards us. Aoi smiled:

“It’s time for dinner—!”

Suddenly, cheers rang out in the Butterfly House.

……

……

On the road outside the Butterfly House.

Whoosh-!
A figure was passing by quickly, the scenery on both sides was rapidly receding, his feet were stepping on mud, and some mud spots were splashing from time to time.

Tanjuro had never felt that the road to Butterfly House was so long.

tread.

for a long time.

He adjusted his breathing and was slightly out of breath.

Looking up, I saw the half-rebuilt gate of the Butterfly House in front of me, and I could faintly hear cheers and shouts.

To calm his emotions, he slowed down his pace and let out a long breath.

Stepping into the Butterfly House courtyard.

Enter the purpose.

The hidden team members gathered in a circle, bustling around to get their food.

As well as Aoi and several children from the Kamado family who were surrounded by the crowd and distributing rice balls.

"Okay, be careful, next one!"

Aoi handed over a rice ball and a bowl of miso soup, and she was looking up at the next member of the Hidden Team.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Tanjuro standing at the gate.

"Ok?"

Kuizhi was stunned for a moment, and then stood there in a daze.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of Tanjuro, and the fatigue in her eyes gradually turned into surprise.

The two people's eyes intertwined in mid-air.

When everyone saw Kuizhi's dazed look, they stopped what they were doing and turned around to look in the direction of Kuizhi's gaze.

"Father!" Shigeru Kamado shouted in surprise, instantly breaking the silence.

"Father is back?" Takeo and Hanako raised their heads together, standing on tiptoe among the crowd getting their food, and could barely see a bit of the sky.

Tanjuro and Aoi pushed their way through the crowd and walked towards each other, staggering a little.

flutter!
Aoi threw herself into Tanjuro's arms. Her vision gradually blurred as she smelled the faint smell of blood coming from the other person.

Patting Tanjuro's back gently, his voice trembled:
"Just come back..."

"Yeah." Tanjuro also nodded. Just as he was about to hug Aoi, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken a shower for several days because of killing demons.

He suddenly froze in place.

Seeing this, Tanjiro also led several children from his family and squeezed through the crowd.

He raised his hand high in the crowd and waved:
"Father--!"

The family finally got together.

Several people hugged each other, and the people around them consciously made room for them when they saw this.

for a long time.

Under the gaze of Tanjiro, Aoi and the others, Tanjiro slowly raised his head.

His eyes scanned the children in front of him one by one.

Finally, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the fatigue in his eyes disappeared, and he whispered the words that he had repeated countless times in his heart.

他 说:

"Let's... go home."
