With the combined efforts of the Kamado trio, the Kamado family's construction speed was terrifying. After all, even Nezuko, who seemed the weakest among the trio, had trained in Water Breathing, and her physical abilities were no less than those of a strong man.
Although it wasn't quite a case of "a towering building rising from the ground," the mansion bearing the name of the Kamado family was quickly and initially completed with the joint efforts of the three. However, because they were going to open a sword-making school, they didn't rest after the mansion was finished and continued to build the sword-making school.
During the setup process, the three of them did not plan to save money at all, but instead tried to get the highest configuration possible.
It's not just about timber; there are also some decorations. If the town at the foot of the mountain doesn't have them, they'll go to another town further away to buy them. Anyway, with their stamina, the round trip won't take long, just like taking a walk.
As time passed day by day, the children in the town became increasingly anxious, while their parents found their children's anxiety amusing.
“There’s no use in you being anxious. When we went there, let alone the sword hall, their buildings were still under reconstruction. With both buildings and sword hall, it will take at least half a year to rebuild.”
"Oh? It takes this long?"
"What do you think? So you should just stay home during this time. Maybe by the time their sword club is built, you'll have lost interest in swords."
Although the parents' words made a lot of sense, these children had not given up learning swordsmanship despite the original teacher's abusive training. As a group that had been refined, they were not discouraged by the parents' words at all.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Since there were no teachers to instruct them in the short term, they trained on their own, wielding wooden swords and slashing at the air repeatedly in simulated training.
The seemingly useless slashing is actually the most simple and effective training for beginners. When Chinatsu and Tanjiro were training hard under Urokodaki, this was a required course, both in the early and later stages.
One week later.
Chika left the Kamado family home and went to the town at the foot of the mountain to buy some last supplies. On the way, she happened to run into one of the many apprentices under Tanjiro's command in the future.
Seeing the other person looking at her with both eyes, Qianxia thought the child wanted to ask when she could go to class. Just as Qianxia was about to answer, the other person snatched the "microphone".
"Um... we haven't wasted any time during this period. Everyone has been working hard on their own, waiting for the teacher's sword hall to be completed!!!" The child shouted earnestly to Chinatsu with a flushed face.
Such a serious, oath-like shout caught Chika off guard once again. While complaining that she really couldn't handle kids, Chika also marveled at how determined these little ones were.
but…………
“Self-training and having fighting spirit is a good thing, that’s true. But if you practice blindly without proper guidance and no one corrects your posture, even if you do 10, 100, or 1000 incorrect exercises, it won’t significantly improve your swordsmanship.” Qianxia said quietly, one hand on her hip.
The child in front of her immediately showed a disappointed expression, even though he knew that Chika was right.
While the information was still being practiced by the original teacher, the original teacher repeatedly pointed out, in an almost scolding tone, that they were doing something wrong here and something wrong there...
They haven't mastered this part to the point where they won't get scolded, so practicing on their own will inevitably result in many people making mistakes.
This is similar to doing practice tests. If you finish a test but don't check the answers, you won't know which answers were right and which were wrong. In that case, doing the test is not much different from doing it for nothing.
Looking at the child with her head down and a disappointed expression, Qianxia paused slightly before continuing what she had said earlier.
"You've been practicing for nothing, but fortunately the sword hall is almost set up, so you won't waste too much time. Once classes officially start, you'll all have to cram. Look forward to it."
"Huh? Big sister... what did you just say?"
The child froze on the spot, somewhat unable to believe his ears. But looking at Chika, who was standing in front of him with a faint smile, he chose to believe his ears and eyes.
The sword-fighting arena... is it almost finished?!
"Then... I'll go and inform everyone!"
After receiving a slight nod of agreement from Qianxia, the child turned around with a smile and ran out quickly, rushing to the door of each house and knocking loudly.
Why are you banging on the door so hard?!
"The sword-fighting hall is almost finished!"
"What?!!!"
………………
Three days later.
Many children and some parents walked from the town at the foot of the mountain to the address of Zaomen's house halfway up the mountain. In just ten days, the place they could see had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Some parents blinked blankly, and some even rubbed their eyes hard with their palms. It turned out that the problem wasn't with their eyes, but with the world.
"Oh my god~"
It's not fair to blame them for being so extravagant; the main issue is that they built such an outrageous thing in just ten days, which would seem absurd to anyone who saw it.
Tanjiro went all out for ten days, Chinatsu handled a significant portion of the physical labor, and Nezuko helped with some interior design.
The result was the magnificent Kamado Mansion in the eyes of this group of people, and a huge sword hall connected to the interior of the mansion.
Everyone stood there blankly, which made Qianxia, who had known they were coming and was already waiting inside the mansion gate, a little anxious. She had planned to open the door quickly after they knocked and give them a surprise.
But they were just standing there dumbfounded... Chika felt that if she didn't take the initiative, they would stay dumbfounded for at least a few more minutes...
With a loud bang, Chika pushed open the gate of the Kamado mansion from the inside. She cleared her throat and looked at the stunned crowd outside, saying, "What are you all standing there for? It's so cold outside, come in quickly."
Awakened by Chika's words, the group belatedly stepped into the Kamado family mansion, where they were able to see the interior through a door.
They assumed that such a large mansion, built in just ten days, would be completely empty inside, but when they went inside, they realized they were not only wrong, but terribly wrong.
Everyone tilted their heads back slightly and couldn't help but let out a simple and blunt exclamation.
“(⊙o⊙) Wow………………”
