Demon Slayer: The Undead Swordsman of Thunder

"It's your real big brother who's here. I did this mission with him, and there's a girl your age."

"The real big brother is here too!" Tanjiro laughed even more happily, and his brain automatically blocked out the girl's affairs.

After walking a short distance, Santo stopped again. He turned his head to look at his junior brother, whose hair was disheveled and whose face was covered in dirt, looking like a real beggar.

After all, he had to meet outsiders, especially a girl. How could he not pay attention to his image?

Seeing that his senior brother had been staring at him, Tanjiro tilted his head in confusion and said, "Is there something on my face?"

"No!" He shook his head, and then added, "But your image is not very good, wipe your face!"

Santo took out a silk scarf from his arms and handed it to Tanjiro. After wiping it once, the dust mixed with sweat made the other party look like a little cat.

He held back his laughter and asked:

"Tanjiro, do you remember the stream near here?"

"I remember!"

"Go wash your face, it's better to be clean!"

Tanjiro turned his head away with a blank look on his face, and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Hearing this, Santo held his forehead helplessly, thinking that this time was different. It was okay if they were all acquaintances, but there was also a girl he had never seen before. How could he leave a good impression on her if he was dirty.

"Listen to my senior brother, it's right!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Tanjiro nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and walked obediently to the woods on the other side.

When passing through the not-so-large pine forest, a crisp and pleasant sound came to my ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a clear stream flowing down from the mountain stream.

The falling water splashed white water like snow, making a "clattering" sound, as if playing a beautiful and moving piece of music.

Fresh air and the original tranquility of the pine forest make this place a treasure for those who like to be alone.

From a distance, there is a girl sitting by the stream. She is wearing a Demon Slayer uniform and a knee-length black pleated skirt.

The girl sits by the water and gently stirs the water.

Tanjiro: “???”

He remembers that few people come to this stream, but why is there a girl here?

“Excuse me, who are you?”

“Are you from the town?”

“The water is cold now. It is recommended not to put your feet in it. You will catch a cold.” He reminded loudly, and his friendly voice drowned out the sound of the water.

Kanao slowly stood up and turned around to see a stranger she had never seen before.

The two looked at each other, and Tanjiro, who had been hiding in the mountains, was greatly shocked.

This was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Dreamy pink-purple eyes, lips as tender as the first blooming cherry blossoms, a ponytail on the left chest, and a pink bow tied at the end of the hair.

The sun shines from the mountain stream and gently falls on Kanao's shoulders.

Clean, simple, and a little innocent.

Kanao doesn't like to get along with strangers. She lowers her eyes, avoids the other person's direct gaze, and starts to put on her socks in a hurry.

It was not until then that Tanjiro realized that he was rude.

The pebbles by the stream were slippery, and Kanao's feet were still covered with stream water. In a panic, she slipped and sprained her right foot.

A tingling pain came, and the body lost balance.

"Not good!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Tanjiro exerted force with his legs, and the Water Breathing·Three Types·Flowing Dance was activated, and a faint shadow of water flow could be vaguely seen around him.

With the help of the breathing method, Tanjiro caught Kanao before she fell to the ground, but because it was the first time that the breathing method was used in actual combat, he lost control of his feet and flew out.

He fell into the stream holding Kanao, but fortunately, neither of them was injured.

Tanjiro, who drank a few sips of water, bounced up and almost threw the girl in his arms out.

At this moment, Kanao sat in Tanjiro's arms expressionlessly, and she couldn't help but get nervous.

She was super socially anxious and had never been so close to a stranger.

At this moment, Feiyuzhen walked out of the woods, muttering, "Kanao, you can't keep playing..."

Until he looked up, he felt that his worldview had collapsed and he couldn't speak properly.

"Play...play...play with water!"

"What are you two doing?"

"Tanjiro!"

Hiyujin's voice was so high that it scared away the birds in the distance. He felt a kind of grief as if the cabbage he had carefully taken care of was taken away by a pig.

He watched Kanao grow up, from an autistic little beggar to a graceful young lady.

Tanjiro's nose twitched slightly, and in addition to a pleasant fragrance, there was also a murderous smell.

After being absent-minded for a long time, he finally realized how indecent his actions with this strange girl were.

"This girl, please get down...quickly, yes...yesI am so rude!"

"If...if...you think it is inappropriate, I can commit seppuku to apologize!"

Tanjiro's face turned red, and he began to talk nonsense.

Kanao tilted her head blankly, without moving, and then began to search her pockets, so Tanjiro watched silently as the girl took out a coin.

What?

"I'm sorry!"

He hurriedly picked up Kanao, ran to the shore quickly, and then stood aside with his head down like a frightened rabbit.

Men and women should not touch each other.

Impolite, so rude.

Shantu came over when he heard the sound. He wondered why Tanjiro washed his face and washed out Shin.

"Damn!"

"Why did you draw your sword, Shin? "

He hurriedly held Feiyuzhen, and then looked at his junior brother and Kanao who were like drowned rats.

Feiyuzhen also calmed down. He absolutely believed in Tanjiro's character. It must be an accident.

"Tanjiro, that's my sister, Kanao!"

"Give me an explanation!"

"Why are you two sitting in the water hugging each other?"

Hearing this, Santo almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was not calm.

If this stinky boy really did something bad, he would break his legs.

Tanjiro took a deep breath and asked weakly: "Um, this girl sprained her ankle, can you treat her first?"

The first thing he considered was not to defend his innocence, but Kanao's injury.

This made Feiyuzhen and Santo stunned. There was no need to doubt it. It was definitely an accident.

"Okay, let's go home first! "

Fei Yuzhen walked to Kanao and squatted down, saying: "Kanaao, I'll carry you!"

She nodded. For her, this was an order, so she didn't need to toss a coin, and she just leaned on it.

Tanjiro felt strange. From just now, he always felt that this girl named Kanao seemed to be missing something.

He couldn't smell any emotional fluctuations on her, which was unreasonable, after all, he could smell it on the cold-faced Brother Yiyong.

On the way home, Tanjiro explained to the two of them, and the misunderstanding was resolved. He also got to know Kanao.

This was their first meeting, and it was also destined.
