Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 2 - "Dangerous"

Outside the cabin.

The clear sunlight slowly penetrated through the clouds, and fell in bunches from the sky. Looking out from the wooden house, passing through the dense forest, the town below the mountain was just shrouded in sunlight.

The snow is slowly melting.

in the woods.

"Father? What's wrong with father?" Maozheng bent over to pick up the firewood scattered on the ground. Hearing this, he turned his head in surprise, and his tone seemed a little unbelievable:
"Sister Midouzi, is it true? Father is awake?!"

The firewood that Mao had just picked up was casually scattered and dropped to the ground.

Mi Douzi stood in front of Mao, holding Liutai in her arms, and nodded several times excitedly:
"That's right, Mao, go and call Zhuxiong back, there's no need to cut down trees today."

Mi Douzi's face was full of joy, she hugged Liutai, because she came all the way at a trot, her breathing was a little short, and the speed of her speech unconsciously became faster:

"Hanako and mom are already at home, hurry up."

After finishing speaking, Mi Douzi turned around and left with Liu Tai who woke up in a daze.

After confirming that the news was true, Mao threw up his hands, turned his head and shouted into the woods behind him:

"Brother Takeo!!"

"Father is awake!! Come back!"

……

……

Inside the cabin.

Soon, Mi Douzi, Mao, and Zhuxiong rushed back.

The Zaomen family was all gathered in the room at this moment, except Tanjiro who went down the mountain to sell charcoal.

Mi Douzi, Takeo, and Hanako gathered together with their heads close together, looking towards the middle of the room, where their father was supposed to be.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zaomen Tanjuro was coughing slightly at the moment, he took a deep breath, and with the support of Aoi Zhi, he sat up extremely stiffly.

"Father!"

Seeing Tanjuro sitting up with his own eyes, Takeo couldn't help shouting excitedly:

"Father, is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"

All of a sudden, several children embraced him.

"Great." Hanako hugged Midouzi who was beside her, and was relieved to see her father was safe and sound.

Kamado Tanjuro panted slightly, and looked up at the child who was leaning over beside him. The frailty of this body was beyond his imagination:
"Takeo, Mao," he said.

"You guys have grown taller."

Zhuxiong nodded vigorously, he was afraid that if he stopped for a while, tears and snot would seem to come out of his eyes: "Yeah!"

"How old are you, and you're still crying." Mao Hong said to his brother with red eyes.

"Aren't you too!" Zhuxiong retorted immediately.

Kamado Tanjuro smiled slightly, his eyes slowly brushed each of his children, and then slowly stretched out his arms.

flutter.

He hugged everyone who came close, including Kuizhi.

Takeo and Shigeru, who were trying not to cry, were taken aback for a moment, and then hugged everyone.

The family hugs each other.

“…It’s great to have me back at this time.”

Zamon Tanjuro muttered in a low voice. He hugged his family, longing for the reunion they had been looking for for more than thirty years to come true at this moment.

At least when he woke up, the family was safe and sound.

Slightly closing his eyes, his rough and callused hands touched his child's head.

He feels everything here.

The long dark red hair hangs down. Due to sleeping for a whole year and not being repaired, the length of the hair is close to the waist.

Kamado Tanjuro adjusted his breathing rhythm, enjoying the short-lived beauty of family reunion.

—even on top of everyone.

——The blood-red "dangerous" character has never stopped blinking since Tanjuro just woke up.

Tanjuro raised his head quietly - the warning in his heart was like a needle pricking his back.

After not seeing Tanjirou, he probably also guessed what the imminent danger was.

……

After a long time.

"Thank you guys."

Kamado Tanjuro stood up slowly with the support of Aoie and Takeo.

Kamado Tanjuro's waist-length hair was intentionally tied into a high ponytail hanging behind his head.

"Father, you suddenly fell asleep for a whole year, which made us very worried!"

Mao danced on the side, describing what happened this year:
"Also, that bear is really big!"

Tanjuro rubbed Shigeru's cropped hair.

- That's it.

—Is my body not dead, but just asleep?

Thinking of this, Tanjuro once again had doubts in his heart—then now, will the ninja body on my Sekiro's side also suddenly fall asleep?
While moving his body, Tanjuro smiled and listened to his child's immature words.

After lying down for a year, although there are family members to take care of and move the body, muscle atrophy and stiffness are inevitable.

"Kuizhi." Kamado Tanjuro stood up and moved his legs, although the range could not be too large.

"What's wrong?" Kui Zhi raised her head when she heard the words, and looked at her husband worriedly: "Is there something I can't do my best?"

Seeing Tanjuro shaking his head, Aoi's expression gradually became puzzled, and then he loosened his frowning brows suddenly, and said softly:

"Tanjiro? That kid is fine, but he insisted on going down the mountain to sell charcoal today."

"Don't worry, that kid... has been strong."

Kui Zhi held her husband's arm, and accompanied him to sit slowly on the corridor outside the house.

——Yes, Tanjirou has always been strong.

Tanjuro didn't answer, but put his hand lightly on Aoie's and held it slightly.

Aoizhi is also used to Tanjuro's quiet temperament, after all, he used to be like this.

Hearing his wife's words, Tanjuro affirmed his inner thoughts.

——Probably, the warning I felt from Sekiro's side is also because of this.

The word "Danger" above his head flashed more and more frequently as time went by.

He raised his head and looked at the sky under the eaves.

The winter sky was a bit foggy, but it was much less foggy at this moment of noon.

——"Demon Slayer: Blade" manga, the opening plot.

——One year after Kamado Tanjuro died, one winter day, the eldest son Tanjiro went down the mountain alone to sell charcoal.

After returning, the whole family was brutally slaughtered by the "ghost king", and only his younger sister, Mi Douzi, survived as an ogre.

Now, it seems that because of his own particularity, he did not die like in the original book.

Instead, he slept for a year.

One year later, it happened to be winter again, and Tanjiro went down the mountain to sell charcoal.

Because of a strong warning and some unknown reason, I woke up from the wolf world and came back here.

The early warning is the early warning of the ninja "Wolf".

In the face of life and death crisis, the ninja's heart will be vigilant like instinct.

It's a powerful survival instinct.

In the game, the red word "Danger" appears above the head.

The same is true now.

According to various conditions, Tanjuro came up with his own answer.

The content of the warning, there is a high probability that the "ghost king" came to the door.

This can also explain why the warning this time has never been stronger.

In the original book, Tanjiro went out on the first morning.

On the first night, the old man at the foot of the mountain reminded him that there were evil spirits at night, so he asked him to stay for the night.

And the tragedy of Zaomen's family happened on this night.

Kamado Tanjuro, who knew all this, would naturally not allow this to happen as before.

If you follow the time in the original book.

The "King of Ghosts" - Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi.

I will come to Zaomen's house tonight.

Kamado Tanjuro lowered his eyes, thinking carefully.

I have to be fully prepared before that.
