Chapter 31

Tengen Uzui is deeply aware of his counterpart's ability to cause trouble.

"Just tell me straight." He had given up fighting. "Is there any place I haven't bombed yet?"

"It seems..." The kind-hearted Toioka Giyuu answered him, although it seemed that his good intentions had led to bad results, "No."

Uzui Tengen: ...

Tengen Uzui: Tsk.

"Let's put it this way." He told the people staring at him, "After we destroy Muzan Muzan, we'll see if we can use this to summon Uzui Tengen over there. Then, you can take revenge and complain... just stop getting involved with me, ok?"

Tomioka Giyu was confused: "But it is very likely that [Uzuki] over there has already been dealt with by them, right?"

Uzui Tengen: "...No, Tomiokana, this is none of your business right now, shut up."

Tomioka Giyu: "...Oh."

Tokito Muichiro didn't really care what Uzui Tengen was mumbling. He was thinking about one thing -

My brother's leg is wrapped in gauze? Is he injured? What happened?

[…［Tengen Uzui］ was thrown out because he talked back to the school doctor ［Shinobu Kocho］ in the school clinic.

However, his luck was not bad, as he happened to meet [Azuma Zenitsu] who was arguing with [Hachidaira Inosuke] about preparing things needed for tomorrow's flag-raising ceremony.

“Hehehe…” [Uzui Tengen] let out a laugh that could rival that of an old witch.

Agatsuma Zenitsu's sensitive ears heard this terrifying laughter almost instantly. He turned his head again and again:

"Wow! It's you! Why are you here? As a teacher, shouldn't you help? What are you doing here with a camera?"

[Hachidaira Inosuke] was very happy, and rushed towards [Uzui Tengen] without caring about the materials in his hand: "Oh oh oh! It's Teacher Huali! Teacher Huali, come and duel with me! Duel, duel, duel!"

[Uzui Tengen] skillfully put his hand on [Hachidaira Inosuke]'s forehead to prevent him from rushing forward: "What are you trying to do? This is a top-secret mission given to me by Principal Uzuyashiki - to film the daily life of our Demon Slayer Academy for everyone! What do you little devils know?"

[Uzui Tengen] said, then turned and walked away: "Okay, I'm going to complete the top-secret mission - you two brats should just stay here and complete the same mission as everyone else!"

[Inosuke Zuhira]: emmm...

[Hichidaira Inosuke]: Ahaha!

[Hachidaira Inosuke] threw the things in his hand back, and then chased in the direction of [Uzui Tengen], snatched the camera from the other party, grabbed [Azuma Zenitsu] who was hurriedly catching the materials behind him, and turned around and ran.

"Teacher Huali! Leave this matter to me! As expected, I, King Inosuke, am the most powerful!"

Behind him, [Uzui Tengen] raised his lips slightly: Yeah! The plan worked! 】

"I've been tricked by this... um, Inosuke." Jigoro Kuwajima's mouth twitched.

"But it seems that no matter where they are, Inosuke and Zenitsu are good friends."

Kuwajima Jigoro was really happy that his child had made a good friend. But now was not the time to talk about this, or...

"Zenitsu! Come back and practice with me!"

On the other hand, Uzui Tengen was also in a good mood: Finally, it has nothing to do with me.

Good, this is Hashibira Inosuke! Boy, I recognize you!

[“What’s the point of you snatching this camera…” Agatsuma Zenitsu, who had already given the materials to other classmates for help, complained, “It’s useless, isn’t it? And you don’t even know how to take a picture…”

[Inosuke Hashibira] fell into deep thought.

[Inosuke Mouhira] Give up thinking.

[Inosuke Hashibira] threw the camera into [Azuma Zenitsu]'s hands.

[Azuma Zenitsu]: "...Don't just throw things at me casually!!!"]

"Pfft." Colleague A laughed out loud. "It's really interesting to see these two people getting along."

Murata dead fish eyes: "Actually, I feel that the relationship between you two is just as interesting as theirs above."

Colleague A grabbed Murata's neck and said, "Just think of it as you complimenting me!"

Murata: “…”

Colleague B: "That's too much, Murata! How can you attack everyone indiscriminately?"

Murata: "...No, actually I was just complaining about you three colleagues ABC, that's all."

[It was not practical to leave [Inosuke Hashibira] alone, so [Zenitsu Agatsuma] finally came to help. "Let's go." [Zenitsu Agatsuma] sighed, "Let's start the interview."

"Shouldn't this matter be handed over to the Student Council Photography Club? What does it have to do with that conceited art teacher who loves to blow up the school?"

"Because everyone in the Student Union Photography Club is on holiday."

[Azuma Zenitsu] nodded: "I see... Then... Wait, [Tanjiro]? When did you show up?"

Yes, the person who just answered [Azuma Zenitsu]’s question was [Tanjiro Kamado].

"I just came over and saw that you guys seemed to be in a lot of trouble." [Tanjiro Kamado] said, "Is this the camera that [Uzui]-sensei uses to shoot videos? How did it get here?"

[My wife Shanyi]: "..."

[My wife Zenitsu]: "Wow! [Tanjiro]!"

He quickly hugged [Tanjiro Kamado] and said, "You don't know, that bastard who only knew how to blow up the school plotted against the weak and incapable brain [Inosuke], wuwa——"

[Inosuke Hashibira] said no: "Monichi! Who do you think has a brain that can't bend?"]

"If we go by the timeline, this Inosuke should not have participated in the final assessment to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps yet, and he can't see the screen yet." Iguro Obane said, "Otherwise, just wait and see, as soon as this person sees the screen, he will know that his other self has been tricked by you, and he will come to fight you immediately."

Uzui Tengen: "That's perfect. Come with me to the flower street. I remember he has a pretty face."

“…”

“…………”

[[Tanjiro Kamado] figured out the whole story, and patted his two friends with a smile. "Forget it," he said, "Why don't we go visit some teachers who are easier to get along with? After all, the students in the student union are busy now."

"Which teacher?"

[Tanjiro Kamado] thought for a moment and said, "[Gyoumei Higurashi] How is the homeroom teacher?"

[Gyoumei Hiramashira], the dean of Demon Slayer Academy, and also the homeroom teacher of [Tanjiro Kamado] and his classmates.

"Emmmm, Amitabha." Gyoumei, who was leading many student union members to organize their things in the auditorium, put his hands together, "Students in Demon Slayer Academy help each other, and teachers actively lead students to solve problems. Everyone is welcome to apply for Demon Slayer Academy."

"Look!" [Tanjiro Kamado] pulled up the video he had just shot, "It's a good start!"】

"As expected, Mr. [Gyoumei Shimazu] is very reliable." Shinobu Kocho said with a smile, "Much more reliable than Mr. [Uzui]."

The corners of Tengen Uzui's mouth twitched: "Hey, hey, hey, I told you, it was that guy [Tengen Uzui] over there who blew up the infirmary. I didn't blow up your Butterfly House. There's no need to be so angry, Butterfly."

"I'm not angry." Butterfly smiled and said, "I'm just stating some facts."

Mitsuri Kanroji: Mr. [Gyoumei of Sadness Island] who works diligently is also very handsome!

[“We should go to the teacher [Rengoku] next.” [Tanjiro Kamado] said, “Rengoku teacher should be in the dormitory at this time, right?”

[Purgatory] Teacher's dormitory...

Agatsuma Zenitsu remembered the dormitory number of Rengoku Kyojuro, and goosebumps instantly appeared all over his body: "Ah ...

A drop of cold sweat also ran down [Hichidaira Inosuke]'s forehead.

[Azuma Zenitsu]: "Why don't we look for other teachers first? What do you think of [Goto] and [Hikai]?"]

"Xii Kai? Goto? Who is this?" The nine pillars looked at each other in confusion.

…

My name is Goto, and I'm an ordinary hermit.

Yes, I am a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

A few days ago, a screen inexplicably appeared in front of me. I heard from others that this screen talked about things in another world and also gave a lot of clues.

I saw the nine pillars, my lord, and even the waxing and waning moons.

I never saw me.

Because I am just a hermit - an ordinary hermit.

But today, I heard my name on it? Wait, that's really my name, right? Did I hear it right?

Me, become an English teacher? Me? Goto?

Goto was dumbfounded. No, I am just a weak, pitiful and helpless person. How could my name appear? The last stranger whose name appeared was Murata! No way? No way? My luck will not be like Murata's?

No, no, no, it must be the same name, it must be the same name...

Murata gave you a thumbs up from a distance.

[“Then let’s go find the drum teacher first.” [Inosuke Hinahira] said. After all, he didn’t really want to see the three demon kings at the moment.

[Tanjiro Kamado] had long been accustomed to the strange nicknames that [Inosuke Hashibira] had given him: "Hey, then shall we go find teacher [Hikayaki] first, and then find teacher [Goto]?"

"I think it's okay." [Azuma Zenitsu] nodded frantically, "You have to know, Tanjiro, [Purgatory] teacher's dormitory is next to the three demon kings' dormitory. What if you go to find [Purgatory] teacher and are dragged to their dormitory by the three demon kings to do homework as punishment?"

"Well... forget it." [Tanjiro Kamado] was strangely silent, "Let's go find teacher [Hikari] first. Teacher [Hikari] should be in... the music classroom now?"

[Inosuke Hashibira]: "Oh! Let's go! Let's go find the drum teacher! Duel, duel!"

[Azuma Zenitsu]: "…What are you talking about, a duel or something…Be careful or I won't let you record the video!"】

"I wanted to ask just now..." Kanroji Mitsuri said hesitantly, "Who are the three great demon kings next to the dormitory of Master Purgatory?"

Iguro Obane: “…”

Fuzugawa Mitsuya: “…”

"It should be Iguro and Fuzugawa..." Uzui Tengen counted, "But there are only two of them? Is there a mistake?"

Shinobu Kocho said, "There should be a Mr. Tomioka, right? Did you forget? When Mr. Uzui first came in, he asked them, 'Where is Tomioka?'"

Fushigawa Mitsuya: “…Ah.”

Iguro Obane: “…Tsk.”

Tomioka Giyu: "...?"

【“Ah…” [Xiang Kai] touched his forehead and said to the camera, “Do you want me to say a few words?”

"That's right! Teacher [Xiang Kai]! Please face the camera!"

Hibiki looked at the small camera held by Inosuke Hashibira with hesitation: "...Ah, but I don't know what to say."

[Tanjirou Kamado] gave him a suggestion: "Teacher, why don't you play a piece of music or sing a song with the drums? We can film you playing it?"

[Xiang Kai]: "...Ah, that's fine too."]

"He seems to be better at music than you, Mr. Uzui." said Shinobu Kocho.

Uzui Tengen: "Ah, yes. But I have never seen a guy named Hibiki Kai before. Could it be that he joined the Demon Slayer Corps later?"

[“Have you finished recording, Inosuke?” After helping Hibiki Kai finish the song, Tanjiro Kamado turned around and asked.

[Hachihira Inosuke] patted his chest confidently and said, "Of course I have done it! Don't you still believe me? My little brother Gonpachiro?"

[Azuma Zenitsu]: "I'm tired of complaining about you always calling our names wrong... Forget it, thank [Hikari] teacher quickly, we're going to look for [Goto]!"

Mr. Goto is the English teacher of Tanjiro Kamado and others. He is a man with dead eyes and is more...easy-going?

"Shall we record the video?" [Goto] looked at them. "Sure. But it seems that you haven't finished your English holiday homework yet, so why don't you finish it first and then come to record the video with me."

[Kamado Tanjiro]: "..."

[Azuma Zenitsu]: "...So which of the three of us didn't finish our English homework? [Inosuke], it was you who did it [Inosuke]!"

[Inosuke Mouhira]: "Hmph!"

So, at the third stop of the video shooting mission, the other two members of the Kamaboko Squad (named by [Inosuke Hashibira]) began to counsel the important members to make up for the work. 】

Goto: “…”

Goto: "It's really me!"

Very good. Goto thought desperately - the possibility of having the same name was completely shattered.

On the other hand, Goto's identity was also discovered by the Nine Pillars.

"Why does this person look so familiar?" Uzui Tengen pondered.

"Hmm! Indeed!" Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly, "I seem to have seen him before, but I can't remember clearly!"

Tokito Muichiro: "Isn't that the one who always takes things from the Hashira meeting?"

"ah……"

"Ah! It seems so!"

Everyone tried their best to recall the appearance of the former Yin. Fuzugawa Shima was incredulous: "Could this person also be an important person?"

…somehow it feels unlikely.

The nine pillars thought so at the same time.
