Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

Not long after, after celebrating and enjoying the food, Sanxiao pestered Butterfly Kanao to tell her about what happened during the trial.

He also asked Kanao Kurihara whether she fought with people of the opposite sex during battles.

However, Sanxiao was just asking out of gossip. After all, Kanao Lihualuo was usually cold-tempered and always looked cold towards outsiders.

In addition, the evil spirits in the trial that Kanao Kurika faced were relatively weak, and with Kanao Kurika's strength, she would be able to solve them easily.

But what they didn't expect was that Kanao Kurikara rarely paused here.

This made the gossip fire in their hearts burn fiercely, and even Shinobu Kocho, who had been smiling at everyone, couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Kanao Kurika.

Lihualuo Kanao didn't think there was anything wrong, but said lightly:
"There was no battle or anything, just some impressions."

"Do you have some impression? This kind of thing is rare here. Why don't you tell me about it? I am also interested."

Shinobu Kocho smiled while holding up her tea cup.

Kanao Lihua lowered her head, and a look of thought appeared on her calm face, as if she was organizing what she was going to say next.

After a while, she spoke:

"That is a young boy with dark red hair. He is very fast and very strong."

After saying that, she kept silent.

Sanxiao originally thought that there would be something to come, so he looked at Kanao Lihua expectantly, but he found that Kanao Lihua had no intention of speaking at all. He immediately looked at the people around him in confusion, and finally stared at Kanao Lihua.

"Gone?"

Shinobu Kocho asked in surprise.

"Nothing."

Kanao Lihualuo shook her head.

After being stunned for a moment, Kocho Shinobu suddenly laughed softly:

"Haha, what kind of impression is this?"

"Maybe he's even faster than you, sister."

Kanao Lihualui added.

This time, Shinobu Kocho was stunned for a longer time. Although her actual combat power might be the lowest among all the pillar-level warriors, her speed was not much inferior to that of the City God.

So she subconsciously thought that Kanao Kurika was joking, but then again, how could Kanao Kurika be a joker with her personality?

In other words, does Kanao Kurika really think so?
Kocho Shinobu became serious and asked:
"is this real?"

"Of course, I wasn't sure at first, but later from other people's discussions, I concluded that he killed all the evil spirits in the trial within the first few hours of the trial."

The falling chestnut blossoms are fragrant.

"In a few hours, you searched the entire Wisteria Mountain and killed all the evil spirits?"

Shinobu Kocho muttered to herself. She quickly calculated in her mind that if she ran to every corner of Wisteria Mountain, it would be around this time.

The other party was of course very fast, but what surprised her even more was how he found all the evil spirits in such a short time.

This is really surprising.

"Could it be that there is another genius?"

Butterfly couldn't help but say.

She couldn't help but feel excited. Now that there were more and more signs of evil spirits' activities, it would be good news if there was such a talented Demon Slayer member.

Moreover, she estimated that the lord had already known about this matter, and perhaps there would be new notifications.

Just then, she keenly heard the cry of a crow. She got up and opened the window, and a crow circled and flew into the room.

"There is a new order. Please read the letter for the specific reason."

After the crow finished speaking, it landed on the Kocho Shinobu's outstretched arm.

Shinobu Kocho calmed him down and untied the letter tied to his feet.

Inside was a familiar note - it was sent by her lord.

"Let me work with a newcomer to complete a task? And it's mainly for investigation?"

When Shinobu Kocho saw the main content of the mission for the first time, she was immediately extremely confused.

She continued to look down.

The letter was not very long, and Shinobu Kocho quickly distilled its main content.

But these contents surprised her greatly.

That is, the lord is very concerned about this newcomer, and believes that the other party has not shown her true strength at all in the trial, so he asked her to examine her strength.

However, letting her participate in this mission clearly meant that the lord believed that the newcomer had the ability to participate in pillar-level missions, but he thought that the other party might not have enough experience, so he let her participate.

In other words, this mission has the meaning of protection as well as allowing her to train the other party.

Newbie?

Thinking of this, Shinobu Kocho paused for a moment, and immediately looked at Kanao Kuriraka standing beside her with a strange look in her eyes.

What she thought really came true. She guessed that this newcomer was the person Kanao Kurika just mentioned.

"what happened?"

Kanao Lihua was a little confused.

"Alas, I just feel that things in the world are always so wonderful." Shinobu Kocho handed the letter in her hand to Kanao Kurihana, "Take a look."

Kanao Lihualuo took the letter and read it carefully.

She was not stupid and quickly analyzed the message contained in the letter.

"Tanjiro Kamado? I heard Miss Hikaru calling him this name before. It should be him."

Kanao Lihua nodded.

"Hehe, then this is a good opportunity. I can go and see what kind of person Kanao cares about."

Shinobu Kocho stretched and said.

"Thank you for your hard work. I just came back and am about to go on a mission."

The falling chestnut blossoms are fragrant.

"No, no, no, there's no rush here. I took a look at the mission, and it seems to be just a suspicion? I originally wanted to hand it over to the Sound Pillar, Mr. Uzui Tengen, and he has been conducting an investigation there. He should have been notified to return by now, and he will hand over the details to me later. As for the newcomer named Tanjiro Kamado, the forging of the Sun Blade is still in progress, so there's no rush. You should be able to relax these few days?"

Shinobu Kocho thought about it and spoke.

"Then why don't you just let Mr. Uzui Tengen take charge?"

Kanao Kurihana couldn't help but ask. "Perhaps the lord thinks that Mr. Uzui Tengen is not suitable for this matter? After all, that guy has no experience in taking care of men. He is just a guy who cares about women and has three girlfriends at the same time."

Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly and said something she would never say in front of the real person.

The three kids were frightened by the slightly sinister Butterfly Ninja, so they huddled together to keep each other warm.

Kanao Lihualuo didn't say anything. Although she had a cold personality, she was not a fool.

"Okay, that's enough about the mission. In the next few days, I'm going to check whether you've missed any of your recent training. And Xiao Kui is out on a mission, right? We haven't seen each other for a while, so I'll have to train her well later."

Shinobu Kocho clapped her hands and laughed, ending her daily routine.

……

A few days passed in a flash, and Tanjiro Kamado was still training intensively. For others, training might be a painful thing, but for him, it was a painful and enjoyable thing.

After all, the enjoyment lies in the fact that he can feel his own improvement at all times. Even if one training method does not work, Lin Yu can quickly come up with a new training method, which always allows him to feel that he has realized his limits during training.

The reason why he can feel his improvement at all times is that he can clearly sense that his limits are increasing step by step.

That day, he had just finished training when he noticed Urokodaki Sakonji waiting for him in the room.

The Tengu mask is still there, and the posture of kneeling on the ground can make one feel the other party's formality.

"Mr. Urokodaki, what is this?"

Tanjiro Kamado was a little confused.

"There's a new letter from Yiyong, you can take a look at it too."

Urokodaki Sakonji handed over a letter.

Tanjiro Kamado took it and read it carefully.

The letter was very long. Although Giyu Tomioka seemed taciturn on the surface, he actually said a lot in the letter.

The front part contains some greetings to Urokodaki Sakonji, and the middle part contains a summary of recent developments.

Seeing this, Tanjiro Kamado really felt that Giyu Tomioka had completely treated Sakonji Urokodaki as an elder.

The last point is that the other party mentioned information about Tanjiro Kamado.

It was mentioned above that Tanjiro Kamado's performance caused an uproar in the headquarters, and they expressed surprise. After all, Tanjiro Kamado was still a boy who knew nothing two years ago, but no one expected that after training, he would have such strength.

At the same time, he also mentioned Ubuyashiki Yoya's arrangements for Tanjiro Kamado.

It seems that a joint operation is going to be carried out, and the target of the cooperation is a pillar-level swordsman.

"Pillar-level swordsman?"

Tanjiro Kamado was a little surprised. It was clearly his first mission, but he was assigned to work with the same Pillar-level swordsman.

"Yes, I didn't expect the lord to pay so much attention to you, but with your strength, you can indeed attract such attention. And looking at this arrangement, it seems that he wants to focus on training you."

Urokodaki Sakonji felt a little sad. He was selected to become a Pillar-level swordsman after growing up step by step in life-and-death battles with evil spirits.

Of course, he was not jealous of Tanjiro Kamado, but he had to sigh at Tanjiro Kamado's genius again.

"Who is the lord?"

Tanjiro Kamado was a little curious. He had also heard about his lord from Ubuyashiki Hika, and when he saw Urokodaki Sakonji mention it, he suddenly became curious.

"The lord is in charge of the information transfer of our entire team. He is a very admirable person and the head of the Ubuyashiki family. I can't explain his deeds in detail for the time being, but with your current strength, one day you will be able to experience it yourself."

Urokodaki Sakonji raised his head, as if lost in thought. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said:

"What's more important now is what Giyuu says next."

Urokodaki Sakonji spoke.

Tanjiro Kamado nodded and continued reading.

At this time, Giyu Tomioka also began to talk about some details of this mission.

Only the person himself would know the specific details of the task, or he himself would need to go and understand it, so he did not say much about this, but just gave some precautions.

He emphasized the Pillar-level swordsman who was working together with Tanjiro Kamado this time - Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho.

According to Tomioka Giyu himself, he is quite familiar with Shinobu Kocho. She is a very gentle person, but she actually hates ghosts. So he warned Tanjiro Kamado not to let Nezuko appear in front of Shinobu Kocho before the mission is over. At the same time, he will report Nezuko's existence to his lord and let his lord decide the matter.

"Don't let Nezuko appear in front of the Insect Pillar?"

Tanjiro Kamado was stunned for a moment.

"You should have experienced this yourself with Giyuu."

Urokodaki Sakonji said seriously.

"It can be said that almost everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps hates evil spirits, but they show it in different ways. According to what Giyuu said, this Insect Pillar seems to be more aggressive when facing evil spirits, so Giyuu probably wants you to avoid conflicts."

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen Nezuko with my own eyes and hadn't gotten to know her for the past two years, I would have found it hard to believe that a demon could really not hurt anyone. So this matter is actually very difficult to handle within the Demon Slayer Corps. But I will report this to the Lord together with Giyuu. If the Lord's influence leads to the recognition of Nezuko's existence, then even if these Pillar-level swordsmen disagree, they will not attack Nezuko again."

Urokodaki Sakonji said a lot, which also indirectly showed how difficult Urokodaki Sakonji thought this matter was.

Tanjiro Kamado's expression was also a little uncertain.

He certainly wouldn't think that his sister Nezuko was an evil ghost who would eat people.

He practiced so hard just to be able to protect his sister from harm one day.

However, he also knew that the idea that evil spirits eat humans was deeply rooted in everyone's minds, so what Urokodaki Sakonji said was understandable.

I also know that the method that Urokodaki Sakonji mentioned is currently the safest way to deal with it.

But he felt unwilling in his heart. Why must Nezuko be considered a ghost like the evil spirits?

Looking at Nezuko's blinking eyes, Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but clench his fists.

Finally he slowly said:

"Mr. Urokodaki, I will think about this matter carefully."

"You...sigh..."

Urokodaki Sakonji also knew that this was a bit unfair to Tanjiro Kamado, but thinking from Tanjiro Kamado's perspective, he also knew how much injustice the two siblings in front of him had suffered.

But Urokodaki Sakonji also knew that Tanjiro Kamado was not a person who didn't know how to adapt, so he thought that Tanjiro Kamado should think about it carefully alone, since there was still some time before Shinobu Kocho arrived.

Urokodaki Sakonji said that he had something else to do and left first.

Tanjiro Kamado remained silent.

Nezuko on the side seemed to notice that Tanjiro Kamado was unhappy at the moment. Although she couldn't speak, she still touched Tanjiro Kamado's head, as if to comfort him.

Tanjiro Kamado felt warm in his heart and said:

"Nezuko, I'm fine." (End of this chapter)
