Chapter 40



Chapter 40

[“One time, Ichiro splashed water on Madam Tianyin, who often visited us. That night, we had a quarrel over this matter.”

"It all ended one summer night when I was eleven years old. A demon broke into my house and chopped off Yuichiro's left hand." [Tokito Muichiro] paused, "This was the first time I felt furious since I was born. When I came to my senses, I had nailed the demon to the wild with wood and farm tools. Not long after, the sun came out, and the demon was shone into the sun and turned into ashes."

"It took me a long time to get back home, but I saw... a dying Ichiro praying to God to save his brother - that is, me. He thought his brother was a kind-hearted child, and it was I who prevented him from helping others. At the end of his life, Ichiro also expressed his true thoughts: Muichiro's 'nothing' is an infinite 'nothing', not an incompetent 'nothing'."

"I held the hand of Ichiro's body tightly, watching it gradually decay. Maggots began to appear in my own body. At this time, Mrs. Amane showed up with two children from the Umayashiki family and saved me from death."】

When they heard the words on the screen, Tokito's parents' hands were shaking.

They came to Muichiro very late, and it was not until later when Muichiro joined the Demon Slayer Corps that they met him by chance during a mission.

When they saw their little son, they were very excited—they had been floating in the human world for too long. But when they looked to the side, they were immediately stunned.

The one who was just like them was Tokito Ichiro, their eldest son.

"Thank you for your hard work." Looking at Ichiro, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Tokito's father touched his head. Ichiro was also very excited about the arrival of his parents' souls. But when they were together, they tacitly didn't talk about one thing -

How did Tokito Ichiro die?

This was the first time that Tokito's parents heard about the death of their eldest son. The power of words was silent but deafening. Tokito's father was a little better after listening to the description, but Tokito's mother covered her mouth, her face was pale, and she couldn't stop shaking.

Finally, Tokito's mother couldn't help herself and rushed forward to hug Yuichiro. She was trembling and tears fell one by one. She wanted to hug Muichiro again, but the soul has no substance, and in the end, her hand only passed through Muichiro's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Youchiro looked down at his mother hugging him, his tears soaking his clothes. He hesitated, then reached out and hugged his mother.

"Don't worry, Mom, it's all in the past, and it has nothing to do with you... Don't worry."

Tokito Ichiro rarely comforts others, which makes his words particularly dry and weak, but it is enough to comfort his mother who is out of control.

People who have the same experience are always more empathetic.

Tomioka Giyu was in a trance, and his sister's smiling face appeared in front of him again.

The difference is that Muichiro fought against the ghost and controlled it, instead of just watching his sister being eaten by the ghost in front of him.

But now I no longer think about those words that it would be fine if I was the one who died. Tomioka Giyuu touched his cheek——I will work hard to kill demons and will do my best to destroy Muzan Munetoshi.

[“Let’s get back to the fight between Muichiro and Tamao.” [Tokito Ichiro] slammed the table, drawing everyone’s attention back.

"Muichiro gradually remembered that his father and Tanjiro both had the same red eyes. He pulled out the needles on his face, and then spots gradually appeared on his face."

"Muichiro found the Jade Pot in the house, and when he attacked with his sword, he scratched Jade Pot's right shoulder. Jade Pot used blood demon art, and the Octopus Pot Hell created multiple octopus tentacles. When Muichiro was surrounded, he accidentally got the knife that Tesana Mori threw to him."

[Tokito Muichiro]: "I cut off the tentacles and used Kasumi Breathing to charge at Tamae. Tamae dodged it, but half of its neck was cut. Tamae started to tease me, and after I 'ridiculed' its shape, it got angry. The angry Tamae used Blood Demon Jutsu: Ten Thousand Gliding Fish, but I broke it. Afterwards, Tamae avoided Muichiro's close beheading with its skin and revealed its true appearance."

"Just kidding." [Tokito Ichiro] said, "I also think that the jade pot is not very beautiful. It is not symmetrical and the color is not good."】

"Will the pattern appear here?" Uzui Tengen thought, "Does Shitou have to open it first?"

"No." He quickly responded, "The first person to open the markings seems to be Tanjiro Kamado? In other words, Tanjiro Kamado and Tokitoru came into contact, which is why Tokitoru opened the markings?"

"At this time, Toru Ichiro." Iguro Obanai's mouth twitched, "He is really the same as Muichiro, worthy of being a twin brother with the same DNA."

[[Tokito Yuichiro]: "Muichiro ignored the Perfect Form that Tamaoku was so proud of, and Tamaoku became furious, and immediately decided to defeat Muichiro with the Blood Demon Jutsu: Formation Killing Fish Scale."

"But Muichiro is a genius! He used Kasumi's Breathing to decapitate Tamao who had lost his composure - damn, why did I die then? Kasumi's Breathing is so cool!"

"Tamuji, with only his head left, continued to curse, and Muichiro completely chopped off Tamuji's head. However, because the poison in Tamuji's needle had circulated throughout his body, Muichiro eventually fell down with foam at the mouth. Kotetsu avoided the fatal attack because he had the sword of the Ryogoku Kyojuro in his clothes, and suddenly got up from the ground."】

If we talk about who is the most popular person in the Demon Slayer Corps, it must be Rengoku Kyojuro. This is a fact that all nine pillars nod and acknowledge. So when they heard the news of Rengoku's death, everyone was so...

"Wait a minute!" Ganlu Temple Mitsuri was a little confused. "Didn't Master Renji pass away? Then how did Master Renji's sword guard appear in the Sword Forging Village?"

Uzui Tengen also noticed this problem and began to have a sudden thought: "... Could it be a ghost?"

"Hmm! I didn't expect that it was my sword guard that protected the little iron boy! That's great!" said Rengoku Kyojuro.

[Tokito Muichiro]: "When I saw Kyojuro's sword handle, I remembered how Kyojuro had encouraged me, and I burst into tears. The spirits of my parents and brother suddenly appeared and praised my efforts."

[Tokito Ichiro]: "As for Tanjiro, during the Upper Rank Four, when Hantengu's true form was about to eat the nearby residents to replenish his strength, Muichiro snatched Tanjiro's Nichirin Sword, which had not yet been sharpened by Guntetsuka Hotaru, and threw it to Tanjiro. After getting the sword, Tanjiro successfully beheaded Hantengu. Then, Muichiro, supported by Kotetsu, went down to meet Tanjiro and thanked Tanjiro, saying that it was thanks to Tanjiro that he was able to retrieve the precious things."]

"...Dad, Mom, Brother..." Muichiro looked around, "Are your souls always watching me?"

Although he knew that Muichiro couldn't hear or feel anything, Tokito's father still patted Muichiro's head proudly and said, "Of course! You are our proud son! We have always been watching you and are proud of you!"

[“Next is the Pillar Training Chapter.” said Tokito Yuichiro.]

[Tokito Muichiro] straightened his expression: "In the battle at the Swordsmith Village, the Mist Pillar, Tokito Muichiro, successfully beheaded Upper Rank Five, Tamao, and the Love Pillar, Kanroji Mitsuri, worked together with Kamado Tanjiro, Kamado Nezuko, and the Demon Eater Fushigawa Genya to defeat Upper Rank Four, Hantengu. It is worth mentioning that Nezuko, as a demon, successfully overcame the weakness of sunlight in this battle."

"That's why," [Tokito Ichirō] continued in unison, "The Demon Slayer Corps also convened an emergency meeting of the Hashiraha at the Sangyashiki residence. Since Sangyashiki's... lord's condition worsened and he was unable to attend in person, the meeting was convened by the lord's wife, Lady Amane. At the meeting, Amane announced the worsening of the lord's condition and said that she would not be able to meet everyone again in the future. She believed that as Nezuko, a demon, successfully overcame the sunlight, Muku would definitely find a way to seize Nezuko, so a full-scale war might break out soon."

"This is the beginning of the Pillar Group training."】

"Huh." Colleague C said, "Finally I know. It turns out that Muzan Muzan's goal is to find a way to bask in the sun."

Colleague B's eyes lit up: "Is this Muzan Kibutsuji Mukuro? The demon king is working tirelessly so that he can bask in the sun for the rest of his life?"

Colleague A was shocked: "What? Is he only going to sunbathe once for the rest of his life? Shouldn't he sunbathe several times?"

"Heh." Murata complained, "I really don't know what you guys have been looking at all this time. What a weird focus."

[“After receiving the report, Lady Amane hoped that Muichiro and Kanroji-nee, who had opened the Mark in battle, would tell everyone the conditions for the Mark to appear.” [Tokito Ichiro] said, “And there is a legend about the Mark. Lady Amane also told everyone about the legend of the Mark, and said that the first person to open the Mark in this era was Tanjiro, who was not a Hashira-class.”

"Mitsuri-san is not very good at expressing herself, so she was unable to successfully tell everyone the conditions for the appearance of the markings. To be honest, we couldn't understand what she said at all. I guess the only one who could understand was Tanjiro. Muichiro, on the other hand, told us the physical conditions for the appearance of the markings."

"After activating the markings, one's physical fitness can be greatly improved. For an average person to activate the markings, the body temperature needs to reach 39 degrees and the heart rate needs to exceed 200. Whenever a person with the markings appears, the people around him will also have markings as if in resonance."】

Fuzuigawa Shinobu complained: "It's obvious that you are not an ordinary person, Tomioka."

He still remembered that last time on the forum, it was said that Toioka Giyuu opened the stripe only because Upper Rank 3 kicked him and kicked him so far away that his back hurt.
