If the "scarf" is a contagious virus that makes the Breathing Swordsmen around it stronger, then from a certain perspective, Tanjiro is also a virus that rivals the scar. Because how can you resist working hard alongside Tanjiro when you see him working so hard?
During the time that Qianxia was unconscious, Jiuzhu did not stop his training.
Some Pillars are training towards the "Transparent World," while others are focusing on honing their swordsmanship.
They still have enormous untapped potential, and it is precisely because of this immense potential that they experience such a significant boost when their markings are activated.
Tanjiro benefited greatly from his sparring session with Muichiro, as did Muichiro.
From morning till dusk, Tanjiro, panting heavily, accidentally fell to the ground. Muichiro quickly went over and helped Tanjiro up, asking, "Tanjiro, are you alright?"
Tanjiro, panting, waved his hand and replied, "No...it's okay, let's...let's do it again..."
Although the physical "flame" was already very weak, the spiritual "flame" was still burning brightly. However, while hard work is a good thing, it is clear that Tanjiro had gone a bit too far.
Seeing Tanjiro's state, Muichiro wanted to find some words to persuade him, but at that moment Tanjiro suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
Muichiro tilted his head in confusion and looked in the direction Tanjiro was looking. A few seconds later, a girl with messy hair stretched and walked out from inside.
"elder sister!!!"
Tanjiro was overjoyed and wanted to run towards Chinatsu immediately, but at that moment, the word "virus" that Chinatsu had said before she fainted suddenly popped into his mind, causing his body to stiffen.
Seeing Tanjiro's stiff and awkward appearance, Chinatsu waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's alright, it's just a little virus, I've already taken care of it. Back then, I took down two hundred... cough cough, anyway, it's fine now!"
Just as Chika had anticipated, the issue of the "resonance" of the markings was easily resolved through a series of stream-of-consciousness maneuvers.
As for the "two hundred" that Chinatsu mentioned... it actually refers to the fact that her computer in her previous life had been infected with a series of viruses. A virus scan revealed two hundred different viruses at once. Chinatsu rolled up her sleeves and fought against them for an entire afternoon. In the end, Chinatsu successfully saved her computer.
This was something Chika often joked about in her past life, but unfortunately, she couldn't quite grasp the point when she told Tanjiro and the others, so she stopped talking about it.
When Tanjiro heard that Chinatsu was alright, he breathed a huge sigh of relief, and the pressure in his heart eased considerably.
"In short, it's great that my sister is alright. She slept for almost two months this time. Even though I was prepared, I was still extremely worried."
"Two months? That's twice as long as last time?"
Chinatsu was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about the strength between Akaza and Kokushibo and the severity of her own injuries, she felt that it was a huge win that she had only slept for an extra month.

Chinatsu turned her head and looked around, asking with some confusion, "Where did Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu go?"
"Nezuko is with Shinobu; judging by the time, she should be back soon. I don't know where Inosuke is, but he's probably getting special training from the Pillars, right? As for Zenitsu, he's out on a mission..."
After Tanjiro gave a brief answer, he talked to Chinatsu about what had happened during her slumber, such as the big fight between Sanemi and Genya after they returned.
As darkness fell and the "humans" began to rest, the "ghosts" began their time to roam freely.
A demon walked along a deserted street, grinning as he looked left and right, selecting his prey as if he were an emperor choosing his concubines.
"This is the place. It smells like there are five people inside. Let's have a big meal today!" The evil spirit chuckled as he faced a three-story wooden house. Before he could even take a full step, a golden lightning bolt flashed across his body.
"Breathing of Thunder, First Form: Thunderclap Flash".
Zenitsu appeared in front of the demon, with arcs of electricity still lingering in the air from the Thunder Breathing slashes.
"well?"
The demon stared blankly at Zenitsu, who had suddenly appeared in front of him. When he realized that it was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps who was about to attack him, he found that his body was out of control.
Because he had already been beheaded.
His vision went upside down, and he completely lost control of his body. With a loud "thud," the demon's head fell to the ground, face down.
At least Gyokuho could still shout a few words and make a last statement, but he didn't even have time to make a last statement. His head and body turned into dust at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared behind Zenitsu.
Despite being jokingly called the "Sleeping Pillar," Zenitsu's unconsciousness triggered his "Awakening."
In reality, that was just Zenitsu's mistaken perception of his own strength and his subjective belief that he was weak. Under the stimulation of external factors, his protective personality would take control of his body and unleash the strength he was born with.
Now, influenced by Tanjiro and Chinatsu, he has undergone round after round of grueling training with Tanjiro and Inosuke while he is awake.
Shirt lifted up, revealing eight-pack abs!
He took off his pants, revealing his well-developed thigh and calf muscles!
After defeating Daki in the entertainment district, Inosuke even praised him for being powerful while asleep. Even in that situation, no matter how much he might have a misunderstanding of his own strength, he wouldn't be intimidated by a mere ordinary demon.
After defeating the demon, Zenitsu exhaled and turned to look to his left, appearing somewhat excited.
"It's not far from Grandpa's house. We should be able to get there before dawn!" Zenitsu murmured happily, looking at a mountain peak to his left.
The grandfather Zenitsu refers to is not his biological grandfather, but rather his trainer "Kuwajima Jigoro," who taught him Thunder Breathing and once served as one of the "Sound Pillars."
Zenitsu was cheated out of his money by a woman, and he happened to run into him. So he spent money to redeem Zenitsu from his servitude and took him as his apprentice.
Although Kuwashima Jigoro was very strict with Zenitsu, Zenitsu, who was an orphan, felt a sense of kinship with him, so he called him Grandpa instead of Master.
Zenitsu sped along the road in high spirits and successfully arrived at his grandfather's house before dawn, just as he had expected.
Just as Zenitsu was about to knock on the door to surprise his grandfather, his ears, which were as sharp as Tanjiro's nose, heard the voice of someone else besides his grandfather.
"Old man! I just can't understand why I failed to master the First Form, while Zenitsu learned it! Old man, are you doing this on purpose? Deliberately not passing the position of the rightful successor to Thunder Breathing to me!!!"
