Chapter 52 Chapter 52 The Little Ancestor and the Naughty Kids

"So, actually, you're not the Yoichi we know, right?"

After both sides compared all the information, the Demon Slayer Corps and the Tsugumi brothers finally figured out everything - they were just parallel worlds/different time and space where something unusual had happened at a certain point and history would have taken a completely different course.

"...I'm sorry for being so rude to you earlier."

Now that they have figured out the truth, the Demon Slayers who recalled how they attacked Tsugakugo Iwakatsu with knives in the beginning immediately apologized to Tsugakugo Iwakatsu: "We were too reckless at the beginning."

"It doesn't matter."

Having been tricked by his alternate-time self, Tsugikuni Iwakatsu surprisingly took it easy. He even said to the Demon Slayer Corps, "The me of this time and space... the Upper Moon One of this time and space, must have caused you all a lot of trouble, right?"

After listening to the history told by the Demon Slayer Corps, although he had not experienced such things personally, but by putting his own previous feelings into the picture, Tsugakuin Iwakitsugu was probably able to understand why Tsugakuin Iwakitsugu in this time and space had chosen such a path.

However, even though he understood it, he could not forgive what Jiguo Yansheng in this time and space had done.

Jealousy over his younger brother's talent is inevitable. However, in order to defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he accepted the deception of the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, betraying his comrades and the tenets of the organization he joined...

In the eyes of Jigoku Iwakatsu, the self in this time and space has trampled on the dream of "becoming the strongest swordsman" that he had always insisted on since childhood, shattered his dignity as a samurai swordsman, and completely degenerated into a stain on Jigokuku.

He joined the Demon Slayer Corps but was not loyal to the creed; he wanted to surpass Yoriichi Tsugikuni but did not use fair means, which was unjust; he followed the Demon King's orders and killed his own brother while Yoriichi was old, which was... a complete loss of humanity.

"I can't forgive myself in this time and space."

Lowering his eyes slightly to look at his hands resting on his knees, Tsugakuin Iwakatsu spoke to the surprised gazes of the Demon Slayer Corps, "Although I'm not a member of your Demon Slayer Corps and have never been attacked by a cannibal, I can't empathize strongly with your experiences. However, the Tsugakuin Iwakatsu of this time and space... no, let's just call him Upper Rank One."

No longer wanting to be lumped in with the upper-rank demons of this time and space, Tsugukuni Iwakatsu raised his eyes with a cold expression: "His actions trample upon everything I stand for and insult my choice to become a swordsman."

"If I meet him, I will kill him even for my own sake."

There is no way to forgive this guy who has betrayed everything and even degenerated into a ghost; this guy who hurts humans and eats them; this guy who is unfaithful and unjust... I really want to kill him.

Looking at Ubuyashiki Yoya, Tsugakuten Iwakatsu made a request: "For the next period of time, I hope you can agree that my brother and I can stay here and allow the two of us to help you kill those evil spirits."

In addition to searching for Upper Moon One, he also wanted to do what he should do.

"If this is my brother's choice, then I support it."

Even though he heard that his own self in this world died at the hands of Upper Moon One, and knew that his brother was jealous and hated him, Tsugakuin Yoriichi's gaze when he looked at Tsugakuin Iwaki remained clear and calm, as if he had never known all this.

"My brother's choice is my choice."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi said: "My brother and I are twins, and I will always follow in his footsteps."

However, if his brother fell into depravity and became a demon, and he lost his purpose, he would probably be very sad, right? Perhaps, in this time and space, Tsugikoku Yoriichi would be sad enough to cry when he saw Upper String One.

"If that's what you think, that would be great."

Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled faintly, not hiding his selfish motives at all: "In fact, I also hope that Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Tsugakuni Iwakatsu-sama will choose to stand on our side, because if so, it means the chances of completely killing the Demon King will be even higher."

"We...everyone in this world has been shrouded in the shadow of ghosts for too long."

"People were afraid to go out at night, fearing that their relatives, friends or loved ones would die at any time, leaving them crying over the mutilated bodies."

"We don't want that sadness and despair, that darkness, to continue. This is one of the reasons why we established the Demon Slayer Corps."

Ubuyashiki Yoya stood up and bowed deeply to the Jikoku brothers: "Thank you both for your willingness to help."

"Hmm, that's great!"

Rengoku Kyojuro's spirited voice rang out, and he seemed to be in a cheerful mood. "Then we can be more efficient in slaying evil spirits, and I can also ask the seniors for advice on some martial arts."

"Ah, that's true."

Shinobu Kocho tilted her head slightly, looking at the katana in the hands of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Iwakatsu Tsugakuni, and said, "But before that, we need to forge the Sun Blade for you two."

After all, if you don't use the Nichirin Sword, you won't be able to kill the demon even if you cut off its head.

"As for the team uniforms, well, that depends on the wishes of the two seniors."

Sun Blade?

The Jiguo brothers looked at the katana in their hands, recalled the scientific knowledge the Demon Slayers had just given them, and nodded without hesitation: "Then I'll trouble you."

"Team uniforms..."

Jiguo Yansheng looked at the clothes that were easy to move in on the Demon Slayer Corps, thought for a moment, and said, "My brother and I are wearing clothes that are not very suitable for the upcoming exercise. I'm sorry to bother you guys."

After the problems with the Nichirin Sword and the team uniforms were resolved, the Demon Slayer Corps and the Tsugumi brothers went to rest separately.

A few days after selecting the materials for their Nichirin sword, the Demon Slayer Corps received a reply from the swordsmith village.

"The Sun Blade was forged very quickly this time."

Looking at the handwriting on the letter, Kanroji Mitsuri tilted her head in confusion and reached out to poke Iguro Obanai's shoulder: "Do you think this handwriting is crooked?"

It was as if the writer had been so mad that he couldn't even hold the pen steady.

Iguro Obanai glanced at the letter and then casually blamed Kamado Tanjiro, Agatsuma Zenitsu, and Hashibira Inosuke, who had been communicating with Kanroji Mitsuri recently. "Perhaps those three idiots broke the Nichirin sword, and the swordsmith was furious."

"Stupid, even after teaching you for so long, you still break the knife."

Kanroji Mitsuri:? ? ?

No, why do I remember that those three people broke the sword when they were fighting against the Lower Five?

"...Would you like to eat sakuramochi together?"

Being stared at by Mitsuri Kanroji, Iguro Obanai turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly, trying to hide her guilty and shy expression: "It's almost time for dinner..."

"Dinner time? No."

Tomioka Giyuu, who was passing by, tilted his head in confusion, watching Iguro Obanai bluntly puncture his words: "It's only been an hour since breakfast."

"Also, I remember you didn't teach Tanjiro and the others for too long."

Iguro Obanai: ...

hehe.

"You seem a little angry? Why?"

Confused, Tomioka Giyuu asked, and then he received an elbow from Iguro Obanai.

"Shut up!"

Iguro Obanai tried hard to resist the urge to bite the water column in front of her with a kabana ball, but when she turned around and saw Kanroji Mitsuri's expression of trying to hold back her smile, she felt that she shouldn't have been so patient.

"Tomioka Giyuu, do you think he's familiar to you?"

Tomioka Giyuu, who blocked Iguro Obanai's elbow with one hand, finally understood what the other party meant: "I understand."

"You want to practice fighting with me, right?"

Tomioka Giyuu, who understood what Iguro Obanai meant, very understandingly pulled him towards the training ground: "I will fight you seriously."

Iguro Obana, whose neck was being strangled: No one can stop me today!

If I don’t put on this beep at night—a sack, or a snake bites him, I’m not the Snake Pillar, and I’m not called Ihei Xiaobanei!!!

Tsugikoku Yoichi passing by said: "They have a really good relationship."

Hearing this, Tomioka Giyu paused, then nodded: "I have a good relationship with everyone."

Shinobu Kocho, who was following behind Yoshiichi Tsugakuko, froze in expression: ...?

Iguro Obana, whose neck is being strangled: ...?

Fuzuigawa Minoru, who was furious at the Hagi mochi Tomioka Giyu gave him just the day before yesterday, crushed the wooden board in his hand:...Hehe.

Rengoku Kyojuro, who had just finished sparring with Tsugakugo Iwakatsu, laughed heartily a few times: "Hmm! That's right, we have a good relationship!"

Tokito Muichiro, who was staring at the sky in a daze, finally changed his posture. He turned around and faced Giyu Tomioka.

Tengen Uzui, who had just climbed over the wall, slipped and almost fell to the ground: No, I am gorgeous and I am not in the same league as you guys!

Even the Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Hirumi, stopped crying and fell silent: It's surprising that Rengoku Kyojuro is so natural.

"Who's close to Tomioka Giyuu?!"

The expressions of the pillars who had been yelled at were slightly distorted, and they roared in their hearts: That guy has no idea at all, we were already merciful enough not to put him in a sack!

"Hey everyone from the Demon Slayer Corps, nice to meet you..."

Dazai Osamu, who had come with the swordsmith to deliver a knife, paused in his greeting, sensing a somewhat awkward atmosphere. "Did you two have a fight?"

The swordsmith standing by no longer wanted to bother with this crazy enough guy next to him. He just wanted to quickly hand over the Nichirin Sword to the Demon Slayer Corps and go back quickly.

God knows what kind of terrible torture the people in their knife maker village have suffered!

This guy is simply not a human! Every day he does nothing but make trouble and torment others. If some of the techniques he proposed were not practical, he would have been chopped into pieces and sacrificed to the gods long ago.

The swordsmith, who had been so angry at a certain humanoid creature that he couldn't even write well when writing a letter, rolled his eyes and took off the two Nichirin swords in his hands: "Hurry and take the Nichirin swords you need."

"Oh, and these three troublesome guys—"

The swordsmith pointed at Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuuya, and Mori Ogai, his disdain evident in his tone, expression, and gestures. "They'll just stay with you. Find a way to get rid of them!"

Thinking of his own broken forging pool and damaged forging furnace, the swordsmith couldn't help but roar: "In short, don't let these three evildoers set foot in our forging village again!!!"

"Whoever dares to send it to us will be sacrificed to the heavens!"

Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuuya and Mori Ogai, who attracted everyone's attention: Haha, that... is all a misunderstanding.

They were just curious about those mechanical puppets, but they accidentally used a little too much force and broke them...

Touching his nose awkwardly, Dazai Osamu reacted quickly, turning his head and pointing at Nakahara Chuuya and Mori Ogai, angrily scolding them, "I told you two not to touch other people's things, but you two just wouldn't listen! This is too much! On behalf of all the villagers in the Swordsmith Village, I condemn you two!"

Zhongyuan Zhongye:?

Mori Ogai:?

The person who started the trouble in the first place and even had a sign that read "Dazai Osamu and dogs are not allowed" has no right to point fingers at us!

"Dazai Osamu...? Nakahara Chuuya, Mori Ogai?"

Seeing clearly who the three people disliked by the entire Swordsmith Village were, Jiguo Yansheng had a strange expression on his face: "What have you three done to anger the heavens and the people?"

However, if it was these three guys, why would it suddenly feel like they were being driven out by all the villagers, causing the knife maker to feel so resentful?

There was even a feeling of "Oh, it turns out it was these three people, no wonder."

And Jiguo Yansheng's voice also allowed Dazai Osamu to see him.

"Wow, Jiguo Yansheng, you guys are here too!"

Dazai waved happily, and seeing his friends, he looked very happy: "How could you think of us like that? The three of us are the most obedient and serious students under the teacher!"

Jiguo Yansheng: I don’t believe you. I don’t know who got beaten up by a gang in the last qualifying match because he was too annoying.

"Hahaha, since you're here, Yunyi is here too, right?"

Dazai Osamu put his hand on Iwakatsu Tsugakugo's shoulder, ignoring Iwakatsu Tsugakugo's awkward expression and looking behind him: "He's really here! Now the only ones missing are Muzan, Bai Huahua and Master."

"But it doesn't matter whether Muzan and Bai Huahua come or not, it's just a pity that Master is not here."

Mori Ogai walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets, and without blinking, he put the blame on his friends who were not present: "After all, Muzan is just a two-faced good boy, and Bai Huahua is just like a little brat who eats candy."

Nakahara Chuuya, who didn't want to stand with the other two idiots, stood aside, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Nakahara Chuuya: Master? !!!

Wait, the one next to Master is...

Seeing a certain white-haired marshmallow alien who became even more angry and even took out a box weapon, put on a ring and smiled, Zhongyuan Zhongya hesitated for a moment between reminding his friend not to continue to commit suicide and stopping Bai Lan from going berserk, and then decisively walked to Xiao Wuhuan's side.

"Well, I tried to teach them not to go too far, but they didn't listen to me, their senior brother."

Nakahara Chuuya had a well-behaved expression and a sincere tone.

Looking at Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai who were still trying to commit suicide not far away, Karasuma smiled slightly: "It's okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Bai Lan, be careful with your wound." As for the two over there, just leave them alone.

Bai Huahua, with a bright smile: "Okay~"

Damn, prepare to die with your two Dogecoins!

Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai turned around and saw Byakuran face to face: ...

Well, we said this was all a misunderstanding, and actually we were condemning Muzan Kibutsuji, do you believe it?

Bai Lan who released the white dragon: Guess?

On the other side, Muzan Kibutsuji was looking at the fancy distorted space with a confused look on his face.

Inside Infinite Castle, Yuhu bowed his head respectfully and knelt on the steps below Muzan Kibutsuji: "Sir, may I ask if you have summoned us here on some important mission?"

Muzan Kibutsuji: ...What the hell is going on?

Also, what is this ugly thing? It burns my eyes. Go away!
