The Kamado family's speed gave the children and their parents a slight shock from the Demon Slayer Corps. When they arrived inside the mansion, the magnificent interior decorations made them realize that the Kamado mansion was not just all show and no substance.
All of this was done by Nezuko. Nezuko and Tanjiro, one focused on internal affairs and the other on external affairs, and their efficiency and quality were top-notch.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Qianxia felt a surge of pride and honor.
Chinatsu led everyone toward the huge sword hall that connected to the interior of the mansion. There, Tanjiro Kamado and his teacher Kamado were already prepared, with wooden stakes of varying thicknesses and sizes set up around him.
Although Tanjiro became interested in teaching, he ultimately lacked experience in the field. So, after much deliberation, Tanjiro decided to initially adopt Urokodaki-sensei's teaching methods.
Of course, Tanjiro did not use the superb technique of breaking bones, healing them, and then breaking them again, like Urokodaki did. This was not only because Tanjiro could not bring himself to do it, but also because he did not have the skill.
Anyone can do the Bone-Shattering Fist, but how do you quickly heal the fractures? Urokodaki didn't teach Tanjiro and Chinatsu how to make the medicinal bath or perform bone-setting techniques.
Tanjiro stared at the wooden stakes in front of him, clutching his chest with one hand, and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
I can do it... I can do it... I can do it!
Tanjiro exhaled a breath, and at the same time, Chinatsu led everyone into the sword hall.
Sensing the approaching crowd, Tanjiro turned to face them and took his first step toward his swordsmanship teacher.
Of course, while they accept students, they still need to pay tuition. No matter how conscientious a business is, it will go bankrupt if it doesn't have funds coming in. Even though the Zaomen family has plenty of money now, the expenses of opening a sword school are not ordinary.
After the sword club started operating normally, Chinatsu's originally rather mundane daily life was given a different flavor every day, which made Chinatsu laugh out loud and even forget the passage of time.
A few weeks later, at the sword club.
"Aaaaaah!!! Mr. Kamado killed someone!!!"
On this peaceful and tranquil morning, a series of rather mournful, pig-like screams echoed from inside the sword hall. Peeking inside from the outside, one could see that it was Kamado, the instructor of the Kamado school, stretching the ligaments of one student after another.
Don't think that learning swordsmanship has nothing to do with ligaments. The toughness and strength of ligaments are directly related to the explosive power of the human body. If you had to pick a representative, it would undoubtedly be Mitsuri, the Love Pillar.
Incidentally, Chinatsu and Tanjiro also trained their resilience back then. Tanjiro was pulled so hard by Urokodaki that he screamed, while Chinatsu benefited from not feeling any pain at all. No matter how much Urokodaki pulled, Chinatsu remained completely calm.
Tanjiro listened to the crowd's shouts and was embarrassed, not knowing what to say. But despite his embarrassment, Tanjiro's hands did not stop moving at all.
The sounds of slaughtering pigs continued intermittently for several hours. With Tanjiro's shout of "Let's rest for a while," everyone involuntarily collapsed onto the floor with a "plop!" covered in sweat.
"Dude, how are you...?"
"I'm definitely fine, I'm very strong."
"Bullshit! You were clearly yelling louder than me!"
The group bantered and teased each other about the shouts they had made earlier, and all of this banter became Chika's mental nourishment. She was having a great time watching it. If there was anything she was unhappy about, it was that she didn't have potato chips or cola, those kinds of homebody snacks.
The apprentices took a break, and Tanjiro naturally took a break as well. As he became a teacher, he increasingly understood the feelings Urokodaki-sensei had when he taught them.
Chinatsu and Tanjiro chatted idly, while the other apprentices watched from afar. The topic of conversation gradually shifted from "who shouted the loudest just now" to "who is stronger, Chinatsu or Tanjiro?"
"I think Kamado-sensei is a bit stronger; he can cut down a tree in one stroke."
"No, no, no, I remember my older sister saying that his swordsmanship is not much worse than mine. Judging from her words, my older sister should be a bit stronger than Master Kamado!"
"I also think the older sister is stronger. When she took down our previous teacher in no time, she was really cool. And did you guys see clearly what the older sister did with her last sword strike?"
"Um... I really didn't see it clearly..."
The group murmured amongst themselves, and Chika heard them clearly, but she had no intention of revealing the answer to them.
"Tanjiro, I think they've rested enough, we can start the second round," Chika said with a smile.
“That’s about right. We’ve rested twice as much as we did when we were training under Urokodaki-sensei.” Tanjiro nodded, then turned to look at the people lying on the ground and patted them heavily with both hands.
"We've rested enough. The stretching we did earlier was just a warm-up. Now let's do a proper stretching!"
"ah!!!!!!"
A series of heart-wrenching cries echoed from the sword hall, causing a young girl who had come from afar to stop in her tracks outside the Kamado family mansion.
"Um?"
Chika, inside the sword hall, paused for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of her own front door. As she carefully sensed the area, the corners of her originally calm lips slightly turned up, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Tanjiro, a guest has arrived looking for you, so go open the door," Chinatsu said with a smile.
"Looking for my guest? Sure, I'll go open the door right away."
Although Tanjiro didn't immediately react, he vaguely sensed something. Under the watchful eyes of the other apprentices, Tanjiro walked out of the sword-making hall and headed towards the main gate of the Kamado mansion.
Perhaps hearing footsteps coming from inside the mansion, the people outside also began to knock on the door, "thump! thump! thump!"
As Tanjiro drew closer to the gate, his divine nose had already sensed the identity of the person outside. When Tanjiro opened the gate from the inside, a girl with pinkish-purple eyes, bangs, and a single side ponytail appeared outside.
Chestnut Blossom Falls - Kanao!
"Kanao, what's wrong with you...?"
"Tanjiro, it's been a long time!" Kanao tilted her head slightly and smiled with her eyes narrowed.
