Chapter 41

Tomioka Giyuu expressed confusion about Fuzugawa Sane's complaints.

[[Tokito Muichiro]: "In order to improve the combat power of the entire team and allow the Pillars to activate their markings, the Demon Slayer Corps began training under the guidance of the Pillars - this is what we call the Pillar Training."

"People of lower rank than the pillars can ask the pillars to train them in turn. As the Mist Pillar, Muichiro is responsible for high-speed movement training. After Tanjiro recovered and completed the training of the former Sound Pillar, Uzui, he came to Muichiro's place for training." At this point, [Tokito Ichiro] suddenly thought of something and gritted his teeth in anger, "Muiichiro was very satisfied with Tanjiro's performance. After only five days of training, he agreed to let him go to the next pillar for training... Muichiro, you should have been more strict!"

"After the training, it's time for the final battle."】

"I see. This is a good idea to quickly improve the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps." Uzui Tengen said, "But I really doubt whether those members of the Demon Slayer Corps can really help us improve our strength and open the markings?"

"Those people always seem unlikely..."

"The final battle..." Iguro Obana looked at the screen but did not stop walking. "Is the final battle finally here?"

This was the first time they heard their counterparts in the parallel world who were "pillars" recount the final battle.

——Although they had already felt from those forums how much loss they had suffered in the final battle.

[［Tokito Yuichiro］: "The cause of the decisive battle was that Muzan Kibutsuji arrived at the Ubuyashiki residence one night in order to kill Ubuyashiki Kōya and take away Nezuko, who had overcome the sun. He found Ubuyashiki Kōya. Muichiro and the Shinbashi learned from Koya that the Ubuyashiki residence had been attacked, and they rushed to the Ubuyashiki residence."

Tokito Muichiro's expression suddenly darkened, and from the perspective of the people in front of the screen, it seemed a little scary.

[Tokito Ichiro] patted his brother's shoulder comfortingly, and once again cursed this crappy book in his heart for making his brother so sad, and then continued:

"The lord used himself as bait and detonated explosives and died. Wuwu was ambushed by Tamayo and Gyoumei of Beiming Island. Muichiro and the pillars who arrived at the scene planned to attack Wuwu, but Wuwu summoned the passage to the Infinite Castle. Muichiro and the pillars fell into the Infinite Castle."】

"The Infinite City can be opened and moved at any time." Shinobu Kocho analyzed, "As long as Miss Naruto doesn't open it, we won't be able to find the specific location of the Infinite City."

Fuzugawa Shigeya also thought of this, and he rolled his eyes: "Muzan Kibutsuji Mukuro, what a coward."

[“I was traveling with Gyoumei the Great.” [Muichiro] finally calmed down. “I asked Gyoumei the Great… sir, and learned from him that the lord was planning to use him as bait and voluntarily die.”

"We followed the crow and Mr. Xingming of Beimingyu told me that we were very close to Wuluan's location and told me not to be careless. But then, the terrain of Wuxian City suddenly began to change. I was hit by the terrain and could not continue to move forward with Mr. Xingming of Beimingyu, so I let Mr. Xingming of Beimingyu continue to move forward."

"I was knocked into a large room and met the Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, who was guarding this place, that is--"

"The beginner breathing swordsman who turned into a demon, Jigoku Yansheng."】

"…You must be lying."

Tokito's voice became softer. "Muichiro, he, he met the legendary beginner breathing swordsman?"

Muichiro is a genius - this is a fact recognized by the Demon Slayer Corps. But no matter how talented he is, the 14-year-old Tokito Muichiro cannot beat the Upper Rank One. That is the legendary Moon-Calling Swordsman, and that is the Upper Rank One.

"If Muichiro was a little older, it might be possible." Fuzugawa Saneya slammed his fist on the tatami, "Are there no other pillars coming? It won't be Muichiro fighting against Upper Rank One alone!"

[Tokito Ichiro] always felt that something was wrong with his younger brother. Perhaps this was the inner connection between the twins. He suppressed his uneasiness, glanced at Muichiro with concern, and continued:

"Muichiro is still very powerful - he saw the Upper Rank One carrying a saber and guessed that he was once a powerful demon hunter, and found that his body instinctively refused to fight him. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he was born."

"After learning Muichiro's name, Kokushibo pointed out that Muichiro was his descendant. But Muichiro was a genius swordsman! Although Muichiro was shocked, he quickly regained his composure."】

"No." Murata complained, "Genius swordsman has nothing to do with regaining composure quickly."

Murata wanted to liven up the team's atmosphere (he was on a mission), after all, the team was too depressed, so depressed that he couldn't breathe - but it was obvious that his complaints seemed to be of no use at all.

Finally, it was colleague B who patted him on the shoulder. He said with an exaggerated expression, "Hey, hey, hey! No matter how the screen shows the future, it can only be the future that we didn't see. Now, with our unremitting efforts, we may not be able to defeat Upper Rank 1! Everyone, cheer up! What's not happening yet!"

Colleague C: "...Although your expression is exaggerated and your tone is strange, I have to say that what you said makes sense."

[“I tried to attack Kokushibo with Kasumi Breathing, but he dodged every time. I activated the Mark and used the Seventh Form, swinging my sword at Kokushibo’s neck. After Kokushibo dodged the attack, he used Moon Breathing, One Form, Dark Moon, Night Palace, and cut off my left hand.”

Suddenly, [Muichiro] was interrupted by [Yuichiro] next to him: "This is too abominable! That old man Iwakatsu! How could he treat Muichiro like this! I've decided! I'm going to ignore him for three days after I go back!"

[Muichiro]: "Oh brother, this is just a story in a book. It has nothing to do with Uncle Jiguo..."

"The Jiguo Yansheng in the book was also called Jiguo Yansheng before! No, the old man will definitely remember this!" [Tokito Yuichiro] continued,

"Muichiro was surprised that Kokushibo could use breathing techniques and how fast he was. Then Muichiro simply stopped the bleeding and used Kasumi's breathing to counterattack, but the old man saw through the attack and used Muichiro's knife to pierce Muichiro's body and nailed him to the pillar... Damn, that damn old man planned to turn Muichiro into a ghost! On the other hand, Muichiro's 鎹鴻...银子? It seems to be this? It doesn't matter! He also asked for off-field assistance for Muichiro!"】

If we ignore some of Tokito Ichirō’s angry words in the middle and replace the three words “old man” with “Kokushibo” at the end, you will have a rough idea of ​​the situation.

"…Why…"

Ichiro's tears slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground - Tokito Ichiro had never hated himself so much for being dead. If he hadn't died, he could have hugged Muichiro, even fought with Muichiro, and protected him... He suddenly began to doubt whether his decision to directly reject Mrs. Tianyin was wrong?

He is not a good kid, but Muichiro is indeed a good kid! Why do you treat him like this!

[Tokito Ichiro's tone became more excited - if his leg hadn't been broken, [Muichiro] really doubted that he could stand up and put his feet on the table:

"The old man was unwilling to kill his own descendants - damn, the evil old man actually thought so - he stopped the bleeding for Muichiro, hoping that Muichiro would follow him to serve Muku - what a joke! And Xuanya, who was in ambush, fired a gun, but was discovered by Kokushibo, and his hands and waist were chopped off by Kokushibo. With only one hand left, Muichiro had difficulty pulling out the Nichirin Sword, and when Kokushibo was about to kill Xuanya, the Wind Pillar, Fuzugawa Jizuru, appeared, saved Xuanya, and fought with Kokushibo - good job, Fuzugawa! You saved my brother, and next time I will definitely participate in the math competition and bring you a first prize!"

[Tokito Muichiro] blushed: "…Uh, uh, brother, you're a little too excited."】

"I told you not to let this guy join the Demon Slayer Corps! He's really grown up! He even brought me to such a dangerous place!" Fuzugawa Miyabi was furious, "Is that an enemy he can handle?"

This Kokushibo is amazing! Really amazing! What the hell is he doing to someone else's brother!

Fushigi's dislike level for Tsuchikage Iwakatsu (Kokushibo) has gone up a level.

After calming down his angry brother, [Tokito Muichiro] continued, "Fuzuigawa Jiya was slashed in the battle with Kokushibo. When he was about to be attacked by Kokushibo, Mr. Gyoumei of Kuei-mi-no-Island arrived at the battlefield and saved Fuzuigawa Jiya."

"Kamishima Gyoumei had Fushigi Miyako sew up his wound, and then he fought Kokushibo. Meanwhile, I managed to pull the Nichirin Sword out of the pillar after constant effort, and slowly took out the sword that pierced my body..."

[Tokito Ichiro]: "That's too much! Old man! Let me tell you the story next! Muichiro, who was seriously injured, thought that with his physique, he would die of excessive blood loss in a few hours. Muichiro picked up his Nichirin sword and planned to join the battle. At this time, Fushigi Genya called Muichiro, and Muichiro followed the other party's instructions, put Genya's broken body back together, and fed Kokushibo's fallen hair to Fushigi Genya. After eating the upper-rank hair, Genya's body healed successfully. Muichiro said that he would stop Kokushibo's actions and hoped that Genya would shoot when necessary and not to worry about him."

The interrupted [Tokito Muichiro] said: "That brother..."
