Chapter 121 Inosuke
"Rare blood..."
Before Tanjiro Kamado could finish speaking, a crow interrupted him.
"Gah—Rare blood refers to people who possess rare blood. Even among rare blood, there are people with even more precious blood. There are fifty or even a hundred such people. It has extremely high nutritional value, is a delicacy for ghosts, and is a ghost's favorite."
Tokito Ichiro listened and pondered for a moment, thinking, "Isn't this just a sitting duck? A pile of fat in a loaf of bread, how pitiful."
"They're here!"
Tanjiro Kamado stood up and looked in that direction. Yuichiro Tokito also sensed the approaching presence and nodded to Tanjiro.
"Keep going, I'm here to protect them."
Tanjiro Kamado patted Kiyoshi and Teruko's heads and ran towards the door without hesitation. At that moment, Yuichiro Tokito also struck his drum, changing the environment.
"That's interesting."
After examining the drum for a moment, Tokito Ichiro returned to his position and took out the tightly wrapped Phantom Crying God from his pocket. He forcefully thrust it into the drum, and the eyes on the Phantom Crying God rolled around, but instead of directly absorbing the drum's demonic energy, it waited for Ichiro's instructions.
After a while, he felt the aura outside dissipate, and the drum in his hand gradually turned to ashes.
It seems he doesn't need help.
Tokito Ichiro put away the Hollow Crying God and went to find Tanjiro with Kiyo and Teruko. He had just seen the other's back when he noticed the calico cat standing on the ground.
"Chacha Maru?"
Tokito Ichiro stepped forward and picked up the calico cat, carefully examining it to make sure he wasn't mistaken. Tanjiro watched Ichiro happily petting it, somewhat surprised.
"You know Miss Tamayo?"
"I don't know it. This cat has been looking for my brother."
Tokito Ichiro put Chachamaru back on the ground, watched it run a few times and disappear, and then left with Tanjiro, Kiyo and Teruko.
As the two reached the front door, they saw a boar-man kicking and punching Zenitsu with a knife. Despite being covered in wounds, Zenitsu tightly protected Tanjiro's wooden box beneath him.
"You're all talk and no action, you're just a coward who won't even draw his sword. I'm going to stab you through the box along with you."
He suddenly kicked Zenitsu Agatsuma to the ground and raised his sword to strike, but Tokito Ichiro rushed forward quickly and drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist to block the attack.
Tanjiro looked at Zenitsu's appearance and it was as if he saw the tragic state of his family. His anger flared up instantly, and he threw a punch that sent the boar-man who was confronting Ichiro flying.
"Wow, that's impressive."
Having not done his best, Tokito Ichiro sheathed his sword and stood aside.
"Aren't you a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?! Bullying each other with swords drawn is forbidden among fellow Demon Slayers!"
"Hahaha, really? I get it. Sorry, then let's fight bare-handed."
Upon hearing Tanjiro Kamado's words, the other man rolled off the ground and kicked him in the face, the sound of their bodies colliding was deafening.
"Hey, are they alright?"
Zenitsu Agatsuma asked Ichiro, who was wiping his nosebleed with a handkerchief, but Ichiro didn't answer. After wiping his nose, Ichiro turned to look at the two fighting, finding it quite amusing.
As Tanjiro Kamado dodged the boar-headed man's attacks, he noticed that the man's attack methods were unusually low.
It's like a wild beast that walks on all fours.
Kamado Tanjiro quickly braced himself on the ground, lowered his body and swung his leg. His opponent noticed his attack, slid into a split close to the ground, braced himself on the ground and kicked him in the head.
"I'm amazing, aren't I? I'm amazing, aren't I!"
He stood up with a thud and shouted with a loud laugh.
Tokito Ichiro took a step forward, raised his leg and delivered a sweeping whip kick to his opponent, causing him to stagger back several steps.
"Wow, this is so scary!"
Zenitsu Agatsuma stared in surprise as Yuichiro Tokito stood steadily, watching the other man sway as he covered his face. His hood slipped off, revealing a handsome face.
"Huh! A woman???"
Do you have a problem with my face?
"No, I have no problem with your face. It's clean, tidy, and has a rosy glow, which is quite nice." Tanjiro Kamado shouted, "You look badly injured. Why don't you sit down and rest?"
"No need. Hey, you pretty boy, try another hit."
"Huh?" Tokito Yuichiro was amused and turned to look at the handsome face, not understanding how the other person had the nerve to call him that.
"That pretty boy and that redhead, my name is Hashibira Inosuke, remember that!"
How do you write your name?
Tanjiro Kamado shouted, which startled Inosuke, who stiffly replied, "Write...write...I can't write...my name is on my loincloth."
"No, your focus is a bit off."
Tokito Ichiro covered his face. He suddenly wanted to find the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps. The three he encountered were all more bizarre than the last. He reached out and grabbed the Kasugai Crow that was lingering around them.
"Hey, crows. Do you have anything else to do?"
"Gah—Rest, rest."
The raven struggled, flapping its wings at Ichiro's hand. Ichiro released his grip and turned to look at the group of people who had carried the corpse out of the house.
“Let’s bury them, Ichiro, Inosuke.”
"The pointlessness of burying the remains of living beings."
"Tanjiro Kamado said, and he and a few others started digging a hole," Inosuke said nonchalantly, shouting at him.
"Ah, is it because your wound is still hurting that you can't help?"
"ha?"
"It's okay, everyone's pain tolerance is different..."
Ah, that's not what he meant, absolutely not.
The people watching from the side looked away and silently continued digging in the dirt; they decided to pretend they hadn't seen or heard anything.
"Inosuke, you should get some rest."
Tanjiro Kamado smiled gently, which only made Inosuke Hashibira even angrier. His veins bulged, and he pointed at Tanjiro, shouting angrily.
"Ha—don't underestimate me! Whether it's 100 or 200, I'll bury them all for you, and I'll bury them even better than anyone else!"
What's the point of comparing these two?
Tokito Ichiro twitched his lips, turned around to look for the suitcase he had put down, which contained almost all his belongings.
Half an hour later
"Then let's go home."
After helping out, the three siblings, Kiyoshi, Zenitsu, and his brother, were about to leave when Zenitsu went up and hugged the boy.
"Zhengyi, don't go. Zhengyi is very strong. He protected me."
"No, no, you killed him!"
Zenitsu Agatsuma's forceful actions left the three helpless, and Tanjiro immediately stepped forward and delivered a chop to the neck.
"Didn't you see that Zheng Yi was unwilling?"
The raven spat out a sachet of wisteria blossoms for the three of them, then turned and flew to Tanjiro and the others.
"Gah—Come with me, come with me."
Tokito Ichiro stepped forward, grabbed Zenitsu by the collar, turned to the two of them, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
"Hey, but the Demon Slayer Corps will be in big danger."
Tanjiro Kamado said that if Ichiro wanted to find his family, he could follow the Hidden Team members who had just arrived, as they had just taken away the boy who was injured earlier.
"I'm much better than you guys."
Tokito Yuichiro spoke nonchalantly, which caught Inosuke's attention.
"Hey, pretty boy, wanna fight?!"
"I don't fight with idiots; it lowers my IQ."
"What!"
"Hey, stop making noise, stop making noise."
