Swordsmith Village is one of the two core areas of the Demon Slayer Corps. To prevent the invasion of demons, even the Pillars are not authorized to know the location of Swordsmith Village.
However, although the [Pillar] could not find out the location of the sword-forging village, it was still not a problem to apply to go there. In addition, there was the reasonable reason that her younger brother's sword was broken. Chika only had to ask her lord for permission, and her lord approved it.
Moreover, at the same time as approving the order, the lord felt an urge to cough up blood, and after coughing up a mouthful of blood, a faint, weak smile appeared on his face…
The trip to the sword-forging village was scheduled for the next day. Before that, because Tanjiro's sword had broken, Chinatsu told him to rest for a day, while Chinatsu went to talk to the Flame Pillar, Rengoku Kyojuro.
Speaking of Kyojuro, he also suffered considerable injuries after the battle on the Mugen Train. Akaza is Akaza after all; even though he blocked the punches and kicks with his Nichirin Blade, his body was still inevitably shaken and suffered internal injuries.
Normally, this kind of injury would require at least half a year of bed rest. Kyojuro only lay in bed for half a month before jumping up. If he had stayed in bed for another half month, when Chika woke up, she could have turned her head and seen Kyojuro in the next bed.
While Chika and Tengen were in the entertainment district, Kyojuro continued his physical rehabilitation while also trying to break through the bottleneck in his current strength.
Kyojuro was described by Akaza as being close to the Supreme Realm, which is the Transparent World. Kyojuro is currently just one step away from reaching the Transparent World, and Chinatsu, who came to visit, said that she was there to help Kyojuro get that final push.
Kyojuro and Kyojuro were chatting leisurely, holding teacups, inside the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
"I heard you and Tengen defeated Upper Moon Six? I have to say, you really are amazing! Shinobu said my body hasn't recovered to its peak condition yet, and that I should continue my rehabilitation, but I think I'm completely fine now!" Kyojuro said optimistically, holding his teacup.
"Ren is also worried about you. It's definitely better to wait until you're fully recovered before going out."
Chika looked at Kyojuro sitting next to her. She could clearly feel that the fighting spirit emanating from Kyojuro was about 80-99% recovered compared to the battle on the Mugen Train.
Moreover, in the fighting spirit emanating from Kyojuro, Chinatsu sensed a difference in quality rather than quantity compared to the battle against the Mugen Train.
Kyojuro is indeed a genius. He's just one step away from the "Transparent World." I'm afraid that if Chika doesn't guide him and lets Kyojuro figure it out on his own for a while, he will be able to enter the Transparent World on his own.
However, please let me give him a kick. If Kyojuro enters the "Transparent World" sooner, I can use him to spread the concept of the "Transparent World" within the Demon Slayer Corps.
We won't open the "spotted" area, which is dangerous.
But the "Crimson Blade" and the "Transparent World" are still necessary.
Thinking this, Chika took a sip of tea and then casually mentioned the concept of "Transparent World," referring to the time she had casually mentioned it to Tanjiro as a stepping stone, and then explained the concept of Transparent World to Kyojuro.
Kyojuro wasn't stupid. Hearing Chinatsu's words, he felt as if he had been enlightened, and he was just short of shouting, "I understand!!!"
The door, which wasn't exactly sturdy to begin with, was kicked open by Chika. Chika believed that with Kyojuro's talent, it wouldn't be long before he could truly grasp the edges of the "Transparent World." And after Kyojuro mastered the Transparent World, would he really hide this technology? Kyojuro wasn't that kind of person.
After accomplishing his task, he left without a trace.
Concealing merit and fame
Chika made up an excuse and left Kyojuro's place; she didn't want to disturb Kyojuro's training.
Chika returned to her own residence shortly afterward, only to find Tanjiro, whom she had called to rest, lying on the floor inside the house, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The inability to cultivate made him feel uneasy all over. This was the effect of the long period of involution. This "involution" had been imprinted in his body. If he didn't cultivate for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
Incidentally, Inosuke and Zenitsu were also lying in their room. They had gotten out of bed, but when they came out of their room and saw Tanjiro lying on the floor like a lazy bum, their mental stress was greatly reduced, and they were now catching up on sleep in their own rooms.
Chinatsu smiled and walked to the floor next to Tanjiro, then lay down on the floor as well. After staring at the ceiling for a while, she closed her eyes.
Adequate rest is also necessary; there's still a lot to do ahead...
The next day, early morning.
Chinatsu, Tanjiro, and Nezuko arrived at the mansion gate early, waiting for the people who would take them to the sword-forging village.
As the two most central areas of the Demon Slayer Corps, even the Pillars are not qualified to know the location of the Sword Forging Village. The people who sent them to the Sword Forging Village also did not know where the Sword Forging Village was, because they were just a point in the transportation process.
Chika and the others were blindfolded and carried to a transfer station, where another person would take over the lead. This process was repeated until they finally arrived at the secluded sword-forging village.
The three didn't wait long before two [hidden] individuals, a man and a woman, rushed over. They were taken aback when they saw Nezuko, because when they received the mission, they were only told that there were two people involved.
How can two people transport three people?
Although the masked figures were visible, Tanjiro could still see their concerns. However, they needed to be prepared. Even though Nezuko had overcome the sunlight, the wooden box hadn't been lost. After Tanjiro and Nezuko exchanged a glance, Nezuko shrunk to the size of a child in front of them and crawled into the wooden box that Tanjiro was carrying.
After doing all this, Tanjiro grinned and gave a thumbs-up to the two ninja in front of him, leaving them speechless with surprise.
"Ahem...ahem, um...please put on blindfolds and earplugs, we'll carry you on our way." Yin coughed awkwardly and took out blindfolds and earplugs from his pocket.
Because of his keen sense of smell, Tanjiro even had two nasal plugs inserted into his nostrils.
Although the "Hidden" unit is not a combat unit but a logistics unit, their physical fitness is still superior to that of ordinary people. Even if they are carrying a large person on their backs, they are as light as swallows. Although there are more than a dozen transit stations, the time is not particularly long when you really calculate it.
After everything was prepared, Chinatsu and Tanjiro were carried on Hidden's back. With a quick step, Hidden ran swiftly towards the transfer station.
