Chapter 131 The Days of the Demon Slayer Corps

When Tokito Ichiro brought Tanjiro to the Butterfly Mansion, he saw the two lying on the bed.

I have to say that compared to the three of them, I was indeed very lightly injured, just some bumps and scratches on my hands.

"Ichiro, ahhhhhh!"

Tokito Ichiro sighed helplessly. Here we go again; Zenitsu really loves to cry. He scratched his hair in frustration, feeling that it was a mistake to abandon his sword practice to visit him.

"It's so noisy, if you keep making that noise you won't eat."

Tokito Ichiro slapped the dessert he made down hard, glared at Zenitsu, and made him shut up instantly.

"Mmm, so delicious!"

Zenitsu Agatsuma was clearly not the type to read people's expressions; he swallowed the beautiful flower cake with tears in his eyes.

"Wow, Ichiro, your cooking is really good! The soup you made before was also delicious."

Tanjiro Kamado ate a piece and exclaimed in admiration, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Ichiro.

"Because I used to have to take care of my younger brother, I only learned how to make snacks later because my older brother liked them."

Tokito Yuichiro said nonchalantly. After watching the three finish eating, he put away the food box, got up, and walked towards the door.

"Bai Bai Yuzhilang, I want to eat ramen tomorrow."

Zenitsu Agatsuma waved his still-healing arm and said loudly, making Ichiro's veins bulge.

"All you do is eat, eat, eat. What else can you do besides eat?"

After saying that, he stormed out of the ward, leaving behind a wronged Zenitsu and the two half-dead men.

"Ichiro is so fierce."

"To put it another way, you have a very serious problem."

Faced with Zenitsu's accusations, Tanjiro spoke without any mercy.

Tokito Ichiro left the Butterfly Mansion and headed to his temporary residence for the next few days. Perhaps due to special circumstances, he was not staying with anyone else.

He looked up and saw Tokito Muichiro walking towards him. He stopped in his tracks. This was the first time he had met him in the past few days.

Just as Tokito Ichiro was about to say something, the other person simply brushed past him, causing him to freeze and instinctively grab the other person's arm.

"Muichiro!"

Tokito Muichiro stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the person who had grabbed him. He remembered the person. It was the new member with the demon; he looked exactly like him, and was probably someone related to him.

"What's up."

Tokito Muichiro tilted his head. He was busy and didn't have time to waste on the other person right now.

"What do you mean? Is this how you treat your brother?! What are you throwing a tantrum about?"

Yuichiro Tokito was angered and subconsciously frowned, habitually starting to scold the other party.

Looking at the angry expression on the person's face, Tokito Muichiro felt a strong sense of familiarity. When he tried to recall, he felt a terrible headache coming on, and the incessant chatter in his ears made him a little irritated.

"Hey, stop your incessant chatter. I don't have a brother that weak and who's got connections with ghosts."

"Ichiro Tokito said in a cold tone, brushed away Ichiro's hand, ignored the other's reaction, and turned to leave."

His head was throbbing slightly, which made him feel irritable and frustrated. He turned to look at Ichiro, who was standing there in a daze, and felt uncomfortable. Just as he was about to say something, the silver flew over.

"Muichiro, Muichiro, we have a mission."

Muichiro Tokito nodded, then turned and left without lingering, leaving Yuichiro, who was still not recovered, behind.

"Huh?" Yuichiro's face was extremely ugly. This was the first time he had been mocked like this by Muichiro, and a nameless anger surged in his heart.

It was only then that Tokito Yuichiro realized that people can actually laugh when they are angry. He stood there with his hands clenched into fists, completely oblivious to the stares of others.

Yuichiro Tokito silently walked back to his resting place, lay down on the bedding and began to recall, getting angrier and angrier as he thought about it.

What does he mean? Does he not acknowledge me as his brother? I'm weak? I'm weak my foot! I'm so angry, so angry, so angry!

Tokito Yuichiro gritted his teeth and pounded his pillow, completely unconcerned about his disheveled hair.

-the next day-

"That... ramen."

Zenitsu Agatsuma looked at Yuichiro Tokito, whose face was dark, and spoke cautiously. The other man paused in his hand as he took out the rice ball, turned his head and glared at him, revealing the dark circles under his eyes.

"Eat if you want, or get out."

"Eek—".

Today, Ichiro was full of resentment, and Tanjiro could smell the other's anger, confusion, and a hint of grievance.

"Ichiro, are you angry?"

"Really? I'm definitely not angry! Why would I get angry because I was criticized!"

Tokito Ichiro curled the corners of his mouth into a highly sarcastic smile, which silenced Tanjiro and Zenitsu.

This person is clearly very angry!

In this way, the three of them gradually recovered, but Ichiro was still angry. Although it was no longer visible on the surface, the three of them could hear/smell/feel it.

"Ichiro, why don't you come train with us?"

Tanjiro Kamado, watching Ichiro playing with Nezuko, suggested that distracting her might make her less angry.

As a result, they watched as Tokito Ichiro easily won in both hide-and-seek and reaction drills, even against Kanao.

"That's amazing!"

Amidst the astonishment of the others, Ichiro nonchalantly stood up, casually making a sarcastic remark about the three of them.

"If this kind of training doesn't work, people will laugh their heads off."

"..." He brought shame upon himself.

Seeing the three of them getting even more excited, Tokito Ichiro felt a little better, and he also hoped that they could recover quickly.

The external staff member was unable to act on his own, and he did not want to go on missions with others.

Yuichiro noticed that Tanjiro seemed to be the only one left training. He didn't say anything, but sat on the roof watching Tanjiro work hard in the yard.

"Ichiro?"

Yuichiro Tokito, who was still in a daze, was a little confused when he saw Tanjiro slowly climbing up. Tanjiro simply sat down next to him quickly.

"Why did you come here?"

"I was planning to come up here for a bit, what's bothering you?"

Tanjiro noticed that the anger was gone, and all he could smell on Ichiro was confusion and grievance.

"...Muichiro mocked me."

"Um?"

"He actually argued with me and even mocked me, something he never did before! It made me so angry."

As Tokito Yuichiro spoke, the wooden sword he was fiddling with was crushed and shattered, rolling down the eaves into the yard with a crash.

Ah—it seems you're really angry.

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat. He tried to comfort the other person, "Perhaps it's been too long since we last met? They didn't recognize you..."

"Heh, you look exactly like me, don't you think? Did you accidentally get face blindness?" Yuichiro chuckled sarcastically, looking up at the moon in the sky.

"Don't be angry, there must be a reason. What about your brother? Don't you have a brother who turned into a ghost? Is he alright?"

Tanjiro hurriedly changed the subject, feeling that continuing would only make the other person furious.

"Yes, I'm curious too."

A voice suddenly came from behind them, startling Tanjiro. He turned around and saw Shinobu Kocho smilingly appear beside them.

"I'm also very curious about your brother. I can tell you about Muichiro~."
