Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 028 Leaving
After instructing Ubuyashiki Kōya to force the formula of the medicine out of Kibutsuji Muzan, Emiya found himself idle in the world of Demon Slayer.
Five of the six upper ranks were killed by Emiya.
Muzan Kibutsuji has hidden himself again, and Emiya can't find him for a while, so he can only hand him over to the Demon Slayer Corps.
But the current Demon Slayer Corps seems unable to find the whereabouts of Muzan Kibutsuji.
So Emiya decided to leave the Demon Slayer world and explore a new world.
But before that, he went to the Jigoku world first to see how the members of the Demon Slayer Corps lived in this Jigoku world.
Emiya came to Hephaestus's family and learned from Hephaestus that after coming to Orario, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were immersed in adventure every day.
We set out at eight in the morning and come back at eight in the evening, spending at least half of the day in the dungeon.
The reason is simple, because they are here to increase their strength.
Hephaestus had no choice but to go with them, but she still asked the blacksmiths of her own clan to make some powerful protective gear for the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
These protective gear can protect their lives at critical moments.
The strength of the current members of the Demon Slayer Corps is increasing rapidly.
As for the swordsmiths, after joining Hephaestus's family, they are currently learning some high-end forging techniques. When they integrate these techniques with their own abilities, there will definitely be a big explosion.
Even Tsubaki, the leader of Hephaestus's clan, is looking forward to the future performance of this group of swordsmiths.
"It seems that you are very satisfied with these swordsmiths." Emiya said while drinking tea.
"That's right." Hephaestus nodded and said with a smile: "Like Tsubaki, I am very much looking forward to the future of these people. They will definitely become the backbone of our clan. If you meet such excellent blacksmiths in other worlds in the future, don't forget to tell me."
"No problem." Emiya agreed readily. He then took out two letters from his pocket and handed them to Hephaestus, "These are letters written by Ubuyashiki Yoya, one is for you, and the other is for the members of the Demon Slayer Corps."
Hephaestus took the letter and put it aside, "I see. I will give it to them when they return."
Emiya smiled, drank the tea in the cup, stood up and said goodbye to Hephaestus.
Hephaestus did not try to persuade her to stay. After sending Emiya away, she picked up a letter written by the god himself, opened it, took out the letter inside, and began to read.
After leaving the Hephaestus family, Emiya came to the Mih family.
The Mihe clan ran a small azure medicine shop, and when Emiya walked in through the front door, he saw a listless, sleepy girl slumped over the counter.
The girl straightened up suddenly when she heard footsteps , "Welcome."
Emiya glanced at the girl. The girl's right arm was a prosthetic. She should be Nazar Iris, who almost caused the Mihe clan to fall apart.
Emiya remembered that she seemed to like Miheu, but Miheu was unaware of it.
"Excuse me, sir. What would you like? Although our Tianqing Pharmacy is small in scale, the elixirs we make are quite excellent." Nazha began to sell the elixirs from Tianqing Pharmacy to Emiya.
Emiya smiled and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Tanjiro Kamado."
Nazar was stunned and looked Emiya up and down, "Who are you and what is your relationship with Tanjiro?"
"We're friends, I guess."
Nazar suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "You are the benefactor that Tanjiro mentioned."
"Benefactor?" Emiya said, "I don't think I have done anything indebted to Tanjiro, because I think we are just in a fair trade."
Nazar said: "But Tanjiro has always regarded you as a great benefactor."
"That's probably because Tanjiro is very gentle."
"That's true." Nazar said with a smile: "Tanjiro is indeed a very gentle person, but you came at an unfortunate time. Tanjiro is now adventuring in the dungeon."
"Then I'll go find Nezuko Kamado. Is she there?" Emiya settled for the next best option.
"Unfortunately, Nezuko and Tanjiro went on an adventure in the dungeon together." Nazar said with a wry smile.
Emiya sighed. This was really unfortunate. "Okay, then I'll go find Shinobu Kocho. He should be here by then."
"You even know Shinobu?"
"We're friends, I guess."
"As for Shinobu, he's also in the dungeon, with Tanjiro and Nezuko."
Emiya rubbed his temples, "Why does Shinobu Kocho go to the dungeon instead of studying pharmacology?" Wasn't the reason she was introduced to the Mihe clan so that she could learn medical skills?
Naza said: "Shinobu went to the dungeon to look for some special medicinal herbs."
Emiya was stunned, and suddenly realized, "That's what happened, then do you know where she went?"
"Based on Shinobu's strength, he should be around the tenth level."
"Okay, then I'll go find them." Emiya pushed open the space door directly, and under Nazha's surprised gaze, he arrived at the tenth floor of the underground city from the Tianqing Pharmacy.
Emiya walked around the tenth floor and killed a group of monsters, but did not find Shinobu Kocho and the others on the tenth floor.
Could it be that we have already entered the eleventh floor?
While thinking this, Emiya entered the eleventh floor. After turning around, he still did not find Shinobu Kocho and the others.
So he went down.
The twelfth floor, the thirteenth floor, the fourteenth floor, the fifteenth floor…Emiya advanced all the way to the seventeenth floor, killing hundreds of monsters, and the vitality he devoured was once again full.
But he still didn't find Shinobu Kocho.
Could it be that I was wrong? Shinobu Kocho has not yet entered the tenth floor, but is above the ninth floor.
So he fought his way back from the seventeenth floor and came all the way to the seventh floor, where he found Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado fighting a group of spider monsters.
At this time, Nezuko Kamado had taken out the bamboo tube from her mouth and was jumping left and right among the spider monsters. She could kill a spider monster with one kick.
"Onii-chan, leave this to me." Nezuko Kamado protected Tanjiro Kamado's back, allowing Tanjiro Kamado to face the enemies in front of him without worrying about being attacked by monsters behind him.
Because his sister is protecting him.
With the protection of his sister, Tanjiro Kamado was full of energy. He used the Nichirin Sword in his hand and the Water Breathing to charge among the spider monsters. Each of his swords could easily chop off a spider monster's head.
This kind of strength... ...is okay.
Emiya could see that Tanjiro Kamado was currently in his fully concentrated state, and his strength was quite good.
But even more powerful is his sister Nezuko Kamado, whose strength is even greater than Tanjiro's.
His strength is no less than that of the lower-rank demons.
This is really amazing.
Furthermore, Nezuko Kamado seemed to have regained her sanity and was speaking clearly and coherently.
Mihe is indeed the god of medicine, he has a way.
After the two of them killed all the spider monsters, Emiya came over, "Also, Tanjiro Kamado."
"Emiya-sama."
Tanjiro Kamado was also very surprised to see Emiya. He sheathed his sword, bowed to Emiya, and asked, "Are you here in the dungeon to train, too, Emiya-sama?"
Nezuko Kamado on the side also hurriedly saluted. She remembered that she was able to recover thanks to the benefactor in front of her.
"No, I came here specifically to see you."
Emiya pulled out another letter from his pocket. "I went to the Tianqing Pharmacy, but you were not there, so I came here to look for you. This is a letter written to you by your master, Urokodaki Sakonji. Take it."
"Master..." Tanjiro Kamado took the letter with both hands, looking excited. He didn't expect that after coming to this world, he could receive a letter from his master.
Emiya asked: "I've given you the letter. You can read it anytime. By the way, where's Shinobu Kocho? Didn't she come with you?"
"Lord Insect Pillar is collecting herbs nearby." Tanjiro Kamado said.
Emiya couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that you already know the identity of Kocho Shinobu."
If you think about it carefully, both of them are holding the Nichirin Sword, and they can tell each other's identity with just one glance.
Tanjiro Kamado said: "When I first met Lord Insect Pillar, I was also shocked. I didn't expect that so many people from the Demon Slayer Corps would come to Orario."
"Okay, take me to find Kocho Shinobu."
Tanjiro Kamado nodded, "Please follow me, Lord Emiya."
Under the leadership of Tanjiro Kamado, Emiya quickly found Shinobu Kocho who was collecting herbs.
"Oh, Lord Emiya, it's really a coincidence." Seeing that Emiya was also a little surprised, Shinobu Kocho said lightly.
"It's not a coincidence." Emiya took out another letter, "This is a letter written to you by your lord. Please accept it."
"Is this the letter from my lord?" Shinobu Kocho was surprised and reached out to take the letter.
Emiya said, "Well, now that I've given you the letter, I'm leaving now. Have fun."
The reason why he came to the wrong world this time was that he was escaped by Ubuyashiki Yoshiya and came to deliver a letter.
One letter from Hephaestus, one from the Demon Slayer Corps, and one from Shinobu Kocho.
After seeing this situation, Urokodaki Sakonji also wrote a letter and asked Emiya to give it to Tanjiro Kamado.
Emiya thought it was just a piece of cake, so he agreed.
Now, he has handed over all the letters, and after saying goodbye to Shinobu Kocho, Tanjiro Kamado, and Nezuko Kamado, Emiya left the dungeon and returned to the surface.
Afterwards, Emiya went to the Mansion of Dusk again and found Loki.
"Yo, Loki."
When Loki saw Emiya, he ran over like a gust of wind, grabbed Emiya by the collar and shook him vigorously, "How dare you come to see me, you bastard?"
Emiya was dizzy with panic and quickly struggled to free himself from Loki's clutches.
"What are you crazy about, Loki?" he said dissatisfiedly.
