Mitsuri and Chinatsu's extended stay in the sword-forging village has significantly increased the village's safety level, but the village's granary is now in danger.
To increase its secrecy, the Swordsmith Village maintains a highly self-sufficient food supply system, which is so perfect that it can not only perfectly supply its own villagers but also warmly entertain visiting Demon Slayer Corps members.
However, when this "hospitality" coincides with Chinatsu and Mitsuri, whether the grain reserves in the granary are still secure is another matter entirely...
A few days later.
Chinatsu and Mitsuri chatted casually as they walked along the road in the sword-forging village. The more Chinatsu learned about Mitsuri, the more she felt that Mitsuri was a very innocent and lovely girl, and she felt sorry for her and the Serpent Pillar's deaths in the original story.
"Chika, let me tell you something embarrassing. I used to feel inferior because of my hair and strength. Someone once said to me, 'The only people who can marry you are bears, pigs, and cows, and your hair. The thought of passing it on to your children makes me feel extremely hopeless.'"
Hearing that made me feel incredibly inferior. I deliberately hid my strength and dyed my hair black, all so I could find someone to marry. Looking back now, I was so foolish.
As she spoke, Miri imitated the way the man who had scolded her used to act. Although these were all her embarrassing moments, Miri had completely let go of them now and could even talk about them as casually as if they were a topic of conversation after dinner.
Hearing Mitsuri's words, Chika seriously held up a finger and said earnestly, "Yes, you really are stupid. Beauty itself should not be defined, and those men who say that about you are even more foolish."
"hey-hey…………"
After Chinatsu said that, Mitsuri's already good mood improved even more.
They then went to the village chief's house and obtained Mitsuri's Nichirin Blade from him. The village chief said he had made some minor improvements to Mitsuri's Nichirin Blade, making it more flexible, but it was still in the experimental stage. He asked Mitsuri to stay in the village for a while longer to see if there would be any problems with the new product.
Mitsuri shrugged helplessly at the matter, thinking that the village chief was really too straightforward. She felt that the Nichirin Blade that the village chief had forged for her was already incredibly skillful and perfect.
Yes, the village chief of the sword-forging village has unparalleled skills. He forged both Mitsuri's and Shinobu's Nichirin Blades among the Nine Pillars. After all, other swordsmiths simply do not have the experience or skill to forge soft swords like Mitsuri's or swords like Shinobu's that can be infused with poison.
While outwardly comforting Mitsuri about her helplessness, Chika secretly chuckled with a touch of embarrassment.
Village chief, thank you for your help!
The two went to the grove in the sword-forging village to test the new Nichirin Blade. It looked exactly the same as the original, but when Mitsuri used it, she immediately felt the difference.
"It's so soft! It's even more flexible to swing! No wonder you're the village chief!" Mitsuri happily swung her sword, the whistling sounds of it cutting through the air echoing around her.
This is the connection between the swordsmiths and the Demon Slayer Corps. They fight in their respective fields, complementing each other, all in order to eliminate more demons and ultimately destroy Muzan.
While Mitsuri was wielding her sword, Chinatsu suddenly heard strange sounds... No, they weren't strange sounds at all, they were... the sounds of battle?
The sound of blades clashing made Chika instantly realize the direction from which the sound came from and how far away it was. This was something Chika found unbelievable.
"Miri, there sounds like fighting coming from that direction."
"Hmm? Really? Let's go check it out!"
Upon hearing this, Mitsuri immediately stopped her sword dance. Although she didn't hear the same sound that Chika heard, she trusted Chika.
The two quickly ran in that direction and soon arrived at the direction from which the sound came from.
A black-haired boy with mint-green ends was seen fighting a mechanical man while wielding a Nichirin Blade.
The robot had six arms, each wielding a Nichirin Blade, making its attacks incredibly fierce. However, the boy fighting against it easily dodged the robot's attacks.
"Ah! It's Tokito-kun, he's come to the Swordsmith Village too? But what's that mechanical doll? I've never heard of it before... Wait, it seems like the Swordsmith Village has a secret weapon that can make people stronger quickly... Could this be it?" Mitsuri said in surprise, clasping her hands together.
Chinatsu wasn't surprised at all; if Muichiro hadn't come soon, Chinatsu would have been anxious.
Judging from this situation, it seems that Xiaotie has been bullied, as Muichiro forcibly took away the key to activate the mechanical man.
Tokito Muichiro is currently suffering from amnesia. He is ethereal, lacks emotion, is taciturn, and cold towards others.
Chika watched from the sidelines as Muichiro Tokito fought the mechanical man.
Muichiro Tokito uses the "Mist Breathing," a derivative of the Wind Breathing among the five basic breathing techniques. Its characteristics include high-speed movement and unpredictable, elusive body movements.
Within the Demon Slayer Corps, Muichiro Tokito is a recognized genius who rose to the rank of Pillar in just two months, wielding a Nichirin Blade.
While Chinatsu was intently watching Muichiro Tokito's battle, Mitsuri's attention was entirely focused on the automaton fighting Muichiro Tokito.
“That mechanical figure…it reminds me a bit of you, Chika!” Mitsuri suddenly said, her train of thought quite peculiar.
Qianxia, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to look at Miri and pointed a finger at herself in confusion.
"Me? Am I?"
"Yes, yes, although this mechanical figure is obviously male, and you can't really describe it as just resembling him by looking at his facial features, I just feel like he does!"
Mitsuri's words were somewhat incoherent. At first glance, it seemed quite similar, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem so. Yet, upon even closer inspection, it did seem somewhat similar.
Chinatsu was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. That automaton was a replica of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest swordsman in the Sengoku period. She felt that she was not like him at all. If anyone should resemble him, it should be Tanjiro who resembled Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
But in truth, Tanjiro doesn't have the same logic as Yoriichi Tsugikuni. The Kamado family and the Tsugikuni family have absolutely no blood relation, so Tanjiro shouldn't have reverted to Yoriichi's side.
While the two were chatting, the battle between Tokito Muichiro and Yoriichi Tsugikuni's automaton was coming to an end. As a replica of the automaton, the automaton was no match for Tokito Muichiro. Just as the automaton lost all signs of movement and Tokito Muichiro was about to cut off one of the precious automaton's arms with a single stroke, Chinatsu finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She raised an arm and shouted at Muichiro Tokito.
"Handsome guy! Spare his life!!!"
"………………"
