The attack of Beast Breathing was very simple and brutal. After easily dodging the opponent's dual-wielding attack, Chinatsu flipped her Nichirin Blade around and used the back of the blade to slash straight into the pig-headed boy's abdomen.
The pig-headed boy trembled as Qianxia forcefully knocked him away, sending him crashing back onto the spot where he had jumped.
Too slow, too slow.
The scenery seen by those who have mastered "Complete Concentration - Normal Mode" is completely different from that seen by those who haven't. In the original work, Kanao, who had mastered it, was able to make Tanjiro, who hadn't mastered it, unable to touch her even with all his skills.
Similarly, now, if Chika wanted to, this pig-headed boy wouldn't be able to touch her even once, no matter how hard he tried.
"You are no match for me, and you may not be able to deal with the ghost inside either."
Whether it can be resolved or not is not up to you!
"But whether or not you can be dealt with is up to me."
In the blink of an eye, Chika was standing in front of the pig-headed boy. She knew that talking to him wouldn't work, so she had to be a little rougher...
Ten minutes later.
Tanjiro and the others emerged from the mansion, bringing with them an injured boy. Zenitsu followed behind Tanjiro with a bewildered expression. After seeing the shattered walls of the mansion, Zenitsu finally understood what Tanjiro meant by saying his sister was strong.
That's really strong... no, it's way too strong!
When they came outside, the first thing they saw was not blue sky and white clouds, but Chika standing on the pig-headed boy, his two Nichirin Blades stuck straight in the ground beside him, leaving sharp and wide sword marks on the ground around them.
"Have you given up yet?"
"I...I give up."
"It's good that you've given up. I'm not some kind of demon, and I don't have a penchant for torturing people."
Chika exhaled and lifted the foot that was stepping on the pig-headed boy.
This pig-headed boy is really stubborn. Although Chika has restrained herself, she used every attack to the extent that she should be able to knock him out. Unexpectedly, not only did she not knock him out, but his fighting spirit became even stronger.
Now look what happened! After taking so many hits in ten minutes, several bones are probably broken, and the internal injuries will take a long time to heal. He shouldn't have had to suffer like this...
As the pig-headed boy got up from the ground, he raised his head and burst into laughter, making Qianxia wonder if she had hit him on the head and made him stupid.
But then I thought, this guy is already pretty stupid, he can't be any stupider.
"Big Sister! You're amazing! Can you teach me how to be as amazing as Big Sister?!" The pig-headed boy clenched his fists and shouted with great enthusiasm.
"Clam?"
Chika was completely bewildered by the nickname "pig-headed boy." The pig-headed boy ignored his injuries, picked up his two Nichirin Blades stuck in the ground, and swung them around like Chika had done before.
The wild boar boy grew up in the mountains, fighting alongside wild animals, which led him to develop habits similar to those of wild beasts.
In the world of wild animals, the strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected. Chika has truly beaten the pig-headed boy into submission, just like how a beast in a pack recognizes another beast as its leader. Now the pig-headed boy recognizes Chika as his big sister.
Qianxia scratched the back of her head, somewhat speechless. She had originally wanted him to change how he addressed her, but seeing his excited expression, she hesitated and decided against it.
The boss... let's call her the boss.
Afterwards, the rescued boys invited everyone to their home for a good meal. During the meal, the pig-headed boy finally took off his pig head mask. As the pig head mask was removed, everyone around except for Chinatsu was so shocked that they stopped talking.
My God, what a face! A face more delicate than a woman's. If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't shirtless and his strong, muscular upper body was exposed, anyone would probably think he was a girl.
Oh no, Zenitsu still subconsciously thought he was a girl, even after seeing his bare upper body and muscular physique.
"You, you're a girl!"
"I'm a man!!!"
The boar-headed boy's name is Inosuke. He has lived in the mountains since childhood. He did not receive training from a trainer. He once stole a Nichirin Blade from a Demon Slayer Corps member and learned of the Demon Slayer Corps' existence. He created the Beast Breathing technique with his own talent and successfully passed the Final Selection.
As for why it seemed like this person wasn't included in the final selection, it's because he was too hasty. He was completely out of sync with the others, being the first to enter the mountain and the first to leave. By the time everyone had gathered to select the tamagotaki, he had already finished and run down the mountain.
During the meal, the rescued boy curiously inquired about Chika and the others' identities. After some hesitation, the group finally told them about the Demon Slayer Corps. After all, they had personally experienced how terrifying demons were, so there was no need to hide it from them. Letting them know about the Demon Slayer Corps would put their minds at ease.
Upon learning of the Demon Slayer Corps' existence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only the boy who had nearly been killed by a demon wore a solemn expression and earnestly asked, "Then, can I join the Demon Slayer Corps too?!"
The people around him looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he would do such a thing, especially since he had barely survived.
Zenitsu: Isn't it better to be alive? The Demon Slayer Corps is dangerous...
Inosuke: Interesting! A man's job is to slay demons!
Tanjiro: We should really think this over carefully...
The Demon Slayer Corps has a very high mortality rate. Nowadays, those who join the Demon Slayer Corps are either from families that specialize in killing demons or people who want revenge because someone in their family was killed by a demon.
Making money? Please, there are so many jobs that can make money, there's no need to do a job with such a high mortality rate just to earn a little more.
If you really join the Demon Slayer Corps, you'll frequently experience near-death experiences like before, or even be unable to escape. You'll need to be quite prepared for that.
Everyone spoke up, some encouraging, some advising, but one person remained silent: Qianxia.
Everyone turned to look at Chika, wanting to see how she would answer.
"You should forget about it, don't go."
The boy lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.
"I overestimated myself..."
"No, that's not why. What I mean is that joining the Demon Slayer Corps wouldn't make any difference."
Chika's tone changed, and she confidently continued, "Because the era of demons will soon come to an end, even if you join the Demon Slayer Corps, there won't be any demons for you to kill."
