Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The morning sun shone brightly, and the sun shone brightly.

Early in the morning, in the narrow fog mountain.

Tanjiro knelt beside the bed, closed his diary, and looked at the sleeping Nezuko.

Not long after arriving, Nezuko fell into a deep sleep.

Mr. Urokotaki said that this was because of excessive consumption, and she fell into a deep sleep in order to recover her physical strength.

The doctor at the foot of the mountain also came to diagnose, and Nezuko's vital signs were normal.

But even so, Tanjiro still couldn't help worrying.

Nezuko was his only relative in the world. If Nezuko could never wake up again, then...

Tanjiro didn't dare to think about it anymore. He had been training so hard in the past six months, and it might be for the purpose of not having the energy to think about random things.

The wooden door was gently pushed open, interrupting Tanjiro's thoughts.

A man and a woman stood outside the door, both of them were disciples of Mr. Urokodaki.

"Let's go, Tanjiro, leave this to Makomo."

The man's name is Satoshi, and he is the current Arashi Pillar.

The woman's name is Makomo, and she is a Class A member of the Demon Slayer Corps, and she is almost a Pillar.

It is said that this sister Makomo already has the strength to become a Pillar, but because Tomioka Giyuu of the same period also practiced the Breath of Water, and Makomo thought that her strength was not as good as Giyuu, she took the initiative to give up the promotion of the Pillar.

"Brother Satoshi, sister Makomo, how come you have time to come?" Tanjiro was also very happy to see the two.

Satoshi said: "After completing the task, I passed by here to take a look. I didn't expect to be caught by the old man. Let's go, I will be responsible for your training today."

When the Pillar has no tasks, the daily task is to patrol the area he is responsible for.

The area that Sato is in charge of happens to include Mt. Sagiri.

This is what Sato applied for, so that he can come back to see Urokodaki often.

Tanjiro discovered that although Sato's current breathing method is called Storm Breathing, Sato's understanding of Water Breathing is very unique.

After all, it was taught by Mr. Urokodaki, so Water Breathing will not be bad.

Every time Tanjiro listens to Sato's teaching, he benefits a lot.

The only thing that makes Tanjiro feel frustrated is that Sato is not as gentle as Mr. Urokodaki, which is especially evident in training.

Although the training plan that Mr. Urokodaki made for him was hard, he has adapted to it after half a year of training.

And the training of big brother Sato really makes Tanjiro exhausted physically and mentally.

Being chased all over the mountain by that iron lump that was made by someone unknown, the physical test was secondary. The iron lump's cry made Tanjiro fear him more than all the beasts, and he felt physically uncomfortable.

"Tanjiro, don't run, rush to the car!"

In the car, Santo's eyes were red and he roared at Tanjiro.

Tanjiro was carrying a bunch of weights on his back, holding a knife in his hand, and fled in a panic.

"No, big brother Santo, I don't understand, it's too dangerous."

Every time Tanjiro finished training with Santo and used breathing techniques, he would feel a strange force wandering in his body, and he could gradually guide this force.

This force can also be felt when he concentrates on breathing.

But so far, Tanjiro can't control it very freely.

According to big brother Santo, this is how the Sound Pillar trained them when they were in Sagari Mountain.

The power he felt was called Dou Qi, which is a power in everyone's body, but it can only be felt after the physical fitness reaches certain conditions.

Then there were words such as "red knife" and "transparent world" that made Tanjiro feel unfamiliar.

With the smug look of Brother Santo, it seemed to tell him, "It's too early to tell you now, and it's useless to tell you."

Tanjiro was basically sure that Santo was showing off.

But Brother Santo was so proud, he must have reached the transparent world he mentioned. According to Brother Santo, that is the realm that only the top strong can reach.

Brother Santo is really amazing, I am still complacent about a little practice results.

Then, Tanjiro looked at Santo and asked, "Brother Santo, you must have reached the transparent world."

......

......

Silence, a long silence.

Santo, who had been chattering, suddenly couldn't speak at this time.

Tanjiro saw Santo's reaction and asked in confusion: "Brother Santo, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing...Nothing!" Santo's voice was a little lower.

Tanjiro: "Have you reached the transparent world?"

? "

"I..."

Tanjiro suddenly became furious, and hit Tanjiro on the head with his scabbard: "Why are there so many questions? Didn't I tell you not to ask about the transparent world? Do the most basic training first, and then you can learn to actively guide the fighting spirit."

"Yes!" Tanjiro rubbed his forehead and said a little aggrieved.

......

At the same time, Momoyama.

Zenitsu was eating the training meal made by Shinya, and the food made by Shinya really suited his appetite.

Komaji was also eating with Zenitsu.

Because the food contains Shinya's life energy, it is helpful for Zenitsu's body to recover or strengthen.

At first, Shinya felt that it was a loss for Komaji to eat these.

Later, Shinya thought of another way.

He kept eating. He took the life energy from Komaji and cooked, so he only had to do a little labor.

To cook a meal for Zenitsu, the life energy needed was very small, and the amount that Shinya took out was not as fast as Komaji's recovery.

As for Komaji, he was just for the desire of eating, and that little life energy was just the meal money.

Although Kuwajima Jigoro no longer hated Shinya, he seemed to still have some grudges.

He did not refuse Shinya's training of Zenitsu, but refused to eat the food Shinya cooked.

"Brother, why doesn't grandpa eat the food you cook every time?" Zenitsu put down the bowl, a little confused.

Shinya's face darkened: "Try to call me brother again, and I'll beat you up! "

Zenitsu was so scared that he shut up immediately.

In the past six months, Zenitsu's personality has not changed at all, he is still as timid as before.

He is afraid of training and fighting.

Kuangdao is very worried about this.

But Shinya is not worried at all, he can see that Zenitsu wants to improve.

It's because Zenitsu has started sleepwalking.

Zenitsu in the sleepwalking state has no fear, and his strength can be fully exerted.

It is certain that this is not schizophrenia.

The sleepwalking Zenitsu's usual personality has not changed in essence, so there is no situation where the sleepwalking Zenitsu is the opposite.

The biggest possibility Yes, when he was sleepwalking, Zenitsu really thought he was dreaming, so he forgot his fear.

Therefore, his strength could be fully exerted.

For Zenitsu in the awake state, this was just a dream.

The only thing that can prove it is his tired body.

Sometimes Zenitsu would faint and slack off when he avoided training to a certain extent, but he would train desperately when he was sleepwalking.

So, from Zenitsu's perspective, he slack off for a day but felt sore all over, which was more painful than training.

Over time, Zenitsu stopped avoiding training.

By chance, Zenitsu actually got on the right track.
