Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 008 Transaction
Emiya was not surprised. This place was the final trial and selection of the Demon Slayer Corps, so it was normal that someone could kill demons.
Although most humans are no match for ghosts.
But occasionally there are a few players who stand out.
It's just that so far, Emiya has not seen a swordsman who can kill demons.
Now, I finally saw one.
Half a minute later, Emiya arrived at the scene and saw a girl with black hair, purple eyes, pink hair tips and a side ponytail standing quietly in the forest.
She also has a ghost that is about to turn to ash.
When Emiya saw the girl, he immediately remembered her name. He remembered it was Kanao or something. As for her last name, it seemed to be Kurikaroku ?
What can I do about the falling fragrance of chestnut blossoms?
Well, that seems to be the name.
When faced with Emiya who suddenly appeared in front of her, Kanao Kurika did not look too surprised, mainly because of the other person's childhood experiences.
Emiya remembered that she had suffered inhuman abuse when she was a child. She would be beaten if she cried, so she gradually closed her emotions and became like a walking corpse.
Later, even after being adopted by the Butterfly sisters, he was unable to express his feelings smoothly.
But there is no doubt that she has feelings.
However, since Emiya can see Kanao Kurikara here, it proves one thing: the protagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tanjiro Kamado, is also here.
Emiya remembered that she and Tanjiro Kamado were in the same class, and they both screamed in the selection competition at the same time.
Also participating in the final selection with them were Zenitsu Agatsuma and the pig-headed boy... uh, what was the pig-headed boy's name?
Emiya rubbed his temple, he had forgotten about it.
When I was watching the plot at the beginning, the pig head on the other person's head was too obvious, so Emiya subconsciously remembered this pig-headed boy, but really forgot his name.
But that's not important.
When Kanao Kurikaraki saw Emiya, she nodded slightly, turned around and left, seeming that she didn't care about Emiya.
Emiya did not try to keep her, mainly because she was too dull, rarely spoke, and was too difficult to communicate with.
So Emiya thought for a moment and decided to find another person to communicate.
The stubborn boy, Tanjiro Kamado.
So after Kanao Kurikaraku left, Emiya also left. After wandering around in this final selection trial site for most of the time, he finally found the person he was looking for.
Red hair, crimson eyes, a flame-shaped scar on his forehead…well, it wasn't really a scar, it was more like markings.
The markings are a manifestation of the great power of the humans in this world.
After the markings are activated, physical fitness can be greatly improved. According to records, anyone who has markings will have the markings on those around him as if in resonance.
However, after the stripes are activated, the life span of humans will be affected. Generally, people who have the stripes activated will not live past the age of 25.
This gives people the feeling that the appearance of the stripes is exchanged for life.
Emiya guessed that this was probably burning vitality in exchange for strength.
Although Tanjiro Kamado has markings on his forehead, he has not actually awakened. However, it is undeniable that he is born with markings and is more likely to awaken than other swordsmen.
In the plot, Tanjiro Kamado is indeed the first swordsman to awaken the markings among this generation.
"The boy in front."
When Emiya saw Tanjiro Kamado, he immediately rushed forward and blocked Tanjiro Kamado's way.
"Um, are you calling me?"
When Tanjiro Kamado saw Emiya suddenly appear in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head and look left and right. After finding that there was no one around, he pointed at himself.
Emiya sighed, thinking this guy was a little stupid.
"You are the only one here besides me. If I didn't call you, would I be calling a ghost?"
Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but laugh dryly and asked, "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Emiya got straight to the point, "I want the Fire God Kagura that has been passed down in your family for generations."
There are many breathing methods in the world of Demon Slayer, but there is only one breathing method that can enter Emiya's eyes, and that is Tanjiro Kamado's Fire God Kagura.
Of course, the real name of this so-called Kagura dance should be called Breathing of the Sun.
It is also the original breathing method.
It is the breathing method created by Yoriichi Sugaki.
"The God of Fire Kagura?" Tanjiro Kamado was confused. Apart from their family, there should be few people who knew about this thing. Why would the person in front of him know this?
"Well, this may sound strange, but do you know me?" asked Tanjiro Kamado.
Emiya nodded and said, "Yes, I know you, Tanjiro Kamado."
"Could it be that you are my relative?" Tanjiro Kamado had a wild imagination.
"That's not the case."
The disappointment on Tanjiro Kamado's face was visible to the naked eye, but if he wasn't a relative, "Why do you know about Fire God Kagura?"
"I have my own information channel, so don't ask too much. Of course, I won't take your Fire God Kagura for nothing." Emiya took out a bottle of Superman potion and handed it to Tanjiro Kamado.
"This is a potion that can improve your physical fitness. After drinking this potion, your physical fitness can be improved by at least twelve times. Then, you can become the most powerful demon-killing swordsman in history."
Tanjiro Kamado can now use his water breathing to split a large rock with one sword.
Then his physical fitness will be improved by about twelve times, and he can completely surpass all the previous pillars and become the strongest demon-slaying swordsman.
Of course, the one who hangs the wall called Yuichiro Tsugikoku is an exception.
Tanjiro Kamado looked at the potion in Emiya's hand but did not take it.
Emiya suddenly realized, "You are afraid that I will cheat you, right? It doesn't matter, you can drink the potion first and try the effect, and then hand over the God of Fire Kagura to me. I believe in your character."
Tanjiro Kamado shook his head repeatedly, "No, it's not that I don't believe you, I just... I just..."
When he said this, he suddenly knelt down and did a standard squatting gesture.
"I am willing to hand over the God of Fire Kagura to you, but please, please save my sister."
"Nezuko Kamado." Emiya said lightly.
"Yes, it's great that you know." Tanjiro Kamado was both excited and thrilled.
Although it is not clear how the other party identified them as siblings, since he knows, he should know about his sister's situation.
"Are you so confident that I can save your sister?" Emiya asked back.
Tanjiro Kamado shook his head and maintained his posture. "I'm not sure, but I don't want to miss any opportunity. Besides, you can make such a powerful potion. You must be a very good doctor. Please, save my sister."
Emiya stroked his chin and said, "You know what, maybe I can really cure your sister."
Tanjiro Kamado raised his head, surprised and happy, "Really...really?"
Emiya said: "Although I'm not sure if this method will work, but for now, it should be the best way for your sister."
"What method?" Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, we should ask the gods for help?"
"God...god?" Tanjiro Kamado was shocked.
"That's right. I don't have a good solution for your sister's situation, so why don't you just ask the gods for help? If the gods help, your sister's situation won't be a big deal, right?"
"But...but, where can we find the gods?" Tanjiro Kamado felt that what Emiya said was simply a fantasy and totally unrealistic.
"Don't worry about that. I have a way." Emiya snapped his fingers and said, "Now what you should do is to end this trial as soon as possible, then return to the home of the former Water Pillar, bring your sister and go with me to see the gods."
"I understand." Tanjiro Kamado stood up and said with a firm face: "I will definitely pass this trial."
"I believe you, you can do it."
The most troublesome hand ghost in the entire Fujisaki Mountain has been killed by Emiya. Among the remaining ghosts, none of them can pose a threat to Tanjiro Kamado.
One day later, Tanjiro Kamado successfully passed the selection.
The reason why it was one day later instead of seven days in the original plot was mainly because all the demons in this mountain were killed by Emiya.
So the selection ended early.
And because of Emiya's intervention, there were more than a dozen people who passed the selection this time, instead of just a few in the original plot, which surprised the two examiners.
But the two examiners reacted quickly and acknowledged that more than a dozen newcomers were qualified to join the Demon Slayer Corps.
He also took out the materials for making the Sun Blade and let the group of people choose.
When Emiya saw this, he couldn't help but walk out of the crowd and said with a smile: "You two, can I also choose a piece?"
The two examiners looked at each other, and the girl on the left said, "Are you the one who killed all the ghosts and messed up the final selection?"
The final selection resulted in such a big thing, how could they not know about it.
Emiya nodded, "I guess so."
"Why did you do that?" the kid on the right asked curiously. "And since you don't have the Nichirin Sword, how did you kill the demon? We're curious."
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this guy dresses like a girl, he is actually a crossdresser.
He is the son of the head of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Because the boys in this family are born weak, they are raised as girls until they are thirteen years old.
As the son of the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he is very likely to be the leader of the next generation of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Of course he was very curious about Emiya's secret.
Especially the way that Emiya can kill demons without using the Nichirin Sword.
"Well, this is a secret." Emiya pointed at the materials used to make the Nichirin Sword and said slowly, "If you want to know this secret, use these things in exchange."
