Chapter 04
Murata is an unknown passerby who has no special skills. He is just an ordinary demon killer and even has a very common face.
——So he really didn’t expect to hear his own name on the big screen.
[“Sixth question.” [Tanjiro Kamado] couldn’t help but laugh after reading this question. “It seems that the friend asking the question is a fan of the original work? After all, [Murata] didn’t appear many times in the trailer.]
"Murata?" Mitsuri Kanroji blinked. "Is he also from our Demon Slayer Corps?"
"Hmm! I've never heard of this name." Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly.
It was Tomioka Giyuu who looked up in confusion: Murata? Is he talking about that Murata?
【“The sixth question a friend asked is, in this book, is it possible that Murata is playing the pig to eat the tiger?”
"But first, let me briefly introduce Murata to those of you who haven't read the original novel." [Tanjirou Kamado] pulled out a photo of Murata from his phone. "He probably looks like this."]
With a clang, Murata, who was resting after killing a demon, dropped his Nichirin sword to the ground. His colleagues beside him turned their heads in disbelief and said in a lost voice, "No way... Murata... is it really you?"
At the same time, Tomioka Giyuu suddenly felt a little dazed. Murata...
[“Murata,” [Tanjiro] said with a smile, “has a nickname, ‘The Strongest Pillar.’ To borrow a phrase, he is a cannon fodder, but he has won the script of life.”]
Pillar: ??? The strongest?
Tomioka Giyuu was shocked for a moment and then came to his senses: No, this... Murata? The strongest pillar?
"What a joke!" Passerby A next to Murata turned his head in disbelief and glanced at Murata with suspicion.
——After all, that’s what the screen said, so it can’t be wrong, right?
"No, no, no." Murata felt that his life was dark. He squatted down, holding his head, and muttered to himself, "No, that's not me, that's not me, that's not me, that's not me, how could the strongest person who is called the winner of life be me...#%"
"My lord!" The Pillars came back to their senses, and Rengoku Kyojuro spoke first, "Hmm! If the opponent is really the strongest Pillar, we must recruit him in advance! This will definitely be of great help to us in defeating Muzan Muzan!"
"I'm very interested." Fuzugawa Shima laughed impudently, "The strongest?"
"Amitābha." Gyoumei of Beimingyu, who was once crowned as the "strongest" by the Nine Pillars, was also very interested. "That's great."
[“Here we have to mention the final outcome of the Nine Pillars. At the end of the war, the Nine Pillars died or were injured. Only the ‘Road Pillar’ Murata was still alive and well, and he often came to visit Mr. Tomioka, which shows how powerful he was.”]
Murata wanted to cry but had no tears. At that moment, he saw the "Tanjiro Kamado" on the screen, who seemed to have suddenly emerged with the tentacles and tail of a demon, and was laughing loudly.
Murata: Screen, where? Why persecution?
Uzui Tengen: "Tomioka, so! Do you actually know this gorgeous guy named Murata?"
Facing the excited gazes of the Nine Pillars, Tomioka Giyuu nodded under great pressure.
The Nine Pillars still hoped that Giyuu Tomioka would say something else.
And then... then there is no then.
[“Of course.” After doing harm to Murata, [Tanjiro Kamado] was kind enough to clear his name, “The reason Murata was able to survive to the end was not because of how powerful he was. Just treat the previous things as a joke, don’t take them seriously. The real reason Murata was able to survive to the end was actually because of luck.”]
Murata breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, Tanjiro Kamado still had some conscience and helped me clear my name, otherwise if I was really taken back as the strongest pillar... He suddenly felt a chill: Then I would really die without a complete body!
Although he knew that the opponent was not very strong, he was disappointed for two seconds. But after hearing what he said, Jiuzhu still became interested: Luck?
What does luck have to do with being able to survive to the end?
It turns out that they are still very powerful!
[“How good is Murata’s luck?” [Tanjiro Kamado] thought for a moment, “To put it in our modern terms, it’s probably like this: he wins a dozen bottles of Coke in a row, he always wins the lottery, and he always has the luck to have another ice cream cone every time he eats it.”
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive, survive, survive, survive, since that Spider Mountain..."]
Murata scratched his head a little embarrassedly: This, this, this... isn't this too exaggerated?
Is his luck really that good? Murata gradually fell into self-doubt.
[“Of course, why do you say he is a winner in life? Because when he was a child, he even proposed to Mr. Tomioka—I mean, Mr. Tomioka Giyuu in the book—and even helped Mr. Tomioka Giyuu out of a difficult situation for a while.”]
"What!"
This big bomb, can not help but blow out all the passers-by around Murata. Murata closed the door tightly, ignoring a series of background voices of "What did you propose to Mizuzu-sama?", and trembled against the door of one of the rooms in the Wisteria House.
As expected! He still muttered about the evil of [Tanjiro Kamado]!
"Okay, okay." Murata gritted his teeth. He couldn't catch the [Tanjiro Kamado] in that world, so you'll have to wait for the Tanjiro Kamado in this world! A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
"A-choo! A-choo!" On the Samagiri Mountain, Tanjiro Kamado sneezed twice in a row. He scratched his head in confusion: Did he catch a cold?
Inside the room, the former Shuizhu's hands were shaking: What? Yiyong was proposed to by that bastard! What?
However, when he heard the latter part of the sentence, his back suddenly bent down, and he seemed to have aged ten years: I still have to thank him.
The person who exploded was also Xuantu on the rock in the back hill. Xuantu's mask concealed his expression, but he couldn't hide his anger. His fists clenched and made a "crackling" sound. What? --Yiyong? And a disgusting brat proposed to her? Ha?
Are you kidding me? ha?
The shocked gazes of the other eight pillars gradually shifted to Tomioka Giyuu, and for a moment, the yard became eerily quiet.
After thinking for a while, Tomioka finally found the so-called "proposal" from the depths of his mind. Finally, he suddenly realized that this was a "proposal"!
[“So you think,” [Tanjiro Kamado] said, “that you survived the war, had great luck, and even got proposed to by a super cute beauty when you were a kid—this is a winner in life, isn’t it?”]
you do not say!
For a moment, almost everyone nodded in agreement.
[“I feel like we’ve strayed off topic for some reason.” [Tanjiro Kamado] silently brought the topic back to the topic, “The question we were originally discussing was whether Murata was playing the pig to eat the tiger, right?”]
"Right, right, right." Murata and Jiuzhu nodded like little chickens pecking at rice. The former was because he finally stopped talking about the embarrassing things he and Yiyong had done, and the one at the back was because of the mess in the front. Really, there was too little information.
Although they also found it very fun to watch Tomioka Giyuu having fun, but...
The most urgent task is still the intelligence on the ghosts!
[[Tanjiro Kamado]: "I don't think this is possible."
"I don't know if you have noticed one thing. In the chapter of Nada Spider Mountain, because a group of demons and a lower-rank demon appeared, Ubuyashiki Yoya sent Tomioka Giyu and Kocho Shinobu to provide support, and the second person Kocho Shinobu rescued was Murata."
"If Kocho Shinobu hadn't arrived in time, Murata might have been used as food reserve by the ghost. After all, when Kocho Shinobu split the ball, Murata's clothes had already been digested by the ghost, so he even appeared naked in front of Kocho Shinobu."】
Murata: …
Murata: !!!
Murata covered his face with his hands: Let him go! It feels like he has lost all his face today!!!
Shinobu Kocho still had a smiling expression on her face.
[“By the way, speaking of Murata and Kocho Shinobu, there seems to have been a particularly funny incident.” [Tanjiro Kamado] suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said, “When Tanjiro Kamado was injured and recuperating at the Chouya, Murata once said something bad about Kocho Shinobu to him, and he was accidentally caught.”
"At that time, Shinobu Kocho was right behind him - the person he was talking about was right behind him. Was he surprised or not? Was he surprised or not?"】
Murata is too tired to complain: Sure enough, this broken screen has a grudge against him!!!
"Hehe." Butterfly Shinobu chuckled, "It seems that Mr. Murata will take medicine in the future when he enters the Butterfly House. I need to study it carefully~"
The Eight Pillars shuddered, looking at the sky, the ground, and the screen, but not at Shinobu Kocho: Are you kidding? Who dares to offend a doctor? Who wants to take the Butterfly House Huanglian MAX one-day tour?
Poor Mr. Murata! They respect you as a warrior.
[“Okay, that’s the end of our sixth question!” [Tanjiro Kamado], “Let’s move on to the seventh question!”]
Hearing this, Murata breathed a sigh of relief: It's finally over!
Do you know how I spent this period and how hard it was? The screen!
[“The seventh question is about whether there will be advance on-demand viewing of “My Ghost Killing Career: The Beginning”.”
[Tanjiro Kamado] read the question from the director's assistant and smiled just the right amount: "That's a really good question! Tomorrow, in some cities, our "My Devil Killing Career: The Beginning" will be available in advance! Please look forward to it!"
"The eighth question. I heard that you, Mr. Tanjiro, and Mr. Zenitsu are good friends. What did Mr. Zenitsu think of this movie? I heard that Mr. Zenitsu is the real Agatsuma Zenitsu in Thunder Breathing, is that true?"】
Uzui Tengen nodded and said, "I found another piece of information. Kamado Tanjiro and my wife Zenitsu are not only teammates, but also very good friends."
"That's not the point." Iguro Obane complained, "The point should be that Agatsuma Zenitsu learned the Breathing of Thunder."
