Chapter 45

[“After Daki and Gitarou were destroyed, Akaza was invited to the Mugen Castle to attend the gathering of the Upper Ranks. During this time, he heard that Douma had put a woman's head on the jade pot that was given to Douma by the Upper Rank Five. He became enraged for some reason and cut off Douma's head twice, and only stopped after Kokushibo chopped off one of his hands.” When Komaji said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly - just kidding, he had tolerated Douma for a long time, and he was happy even if he only heard the news of Douma being beaten in the book.

"After Hantengou and Yuhou accepted Wuwu's order to go to the knifesmith village, Inowaza left the table without saying a word."】

"Tsk." Shinobu Kocho couldn't hold back her anger after hearing Douma put a woman's head in a pot. Her anger increased, and her favorability towards Inoza who cut off Douma's head increased by Max. She didn't hide her disgust for Douma in her tone: "How despicable."

[“Final Battle, Mugen Castle Opens.” [Komaji] said, “When Kamado Tanjiro and Tomioka Giyu were searching for Muzan Muzan in Mugen Castle, Akaza took the initiative to break through the floor and came in front of the two. After the battle began, Akaza recognized Tanjiro’s growth and tried to persuade Giyuu, who had shown great strength to him, to become a demon. After failing to ask for his name, Akaza directly kicked Giyuu away with the foot style: Streaming Light.”

"Afterwards, Akaza declared to Tanjiro that Tanjiro's ability to become stronger was thanks to Kyojuro's sacrifice. This made Tanjiro extremely angry, and he immediately pointed out: 'Everyone has been weak at one time, and everyone must have received some help from others. It is natural for the strong to protect the weak, and then for the weak to become stronger and then protect other weak people!'"

Teacher Komaji nodded as he spoke. What Tanjiro said is really good. It is exactly the same as what he said in Purgatory. By the way, isn't there a Tanjiro in the Demon Slayer Academy next door? It seems he is also a student of Purgatory? 】

"This ghost really likes to turn people into ghosts!" Fuzugawa Shigeya said, looking at Tomioka Giyuu, "Tomioka, how do you feel?"

Tomioka Giyu frowned and said, "I can't tell the ghost its name."

Fuzugawa Miyabi chuckled - he was not surprised when Tomioka Giyuu said that. Although Tomioka Giyuu's speaking style was usually irritating to them, they were still very happy to see Tomioka Giyuu talking to the ghosts like this. "Not bad!" He slapped his thigh and joked, "Why don't you just talk to the ghosts more next time and choke them all with your words! This way, you can get rid of the ghosts effortlessly!"

Tomioka Giyuu tilted his head: "......? Really?"

Fuzugawa Mitsuya: “…”

Fushigawa Mitsuya: “It’s fake.”

...I almost forgot that Toioka Giyuu is such a fool that he believes whatever others say.

【“After hearing this, Inoza finally realized that the reason why he had always hated Tanjiro was not because he was weak at the time, but because every word he said stimulated him to recall the long-forgotten memories of the human period when nothing was fulfilled and full of nonsense.”

"As Akaza recalled that his master had said the same thing, he was furious and launched a series of fierce attacks, gradually forcing Tanjiro into despair. At this time, Giyuu rushed back and saved Tanjiro, and at the same time awakened the pattern and fought with Akaza. During this period, Tanjiro recalled that Inosuke had told him that 'the wife of Fujiya always appeared suddenly and silently, which was very scary', and suddenly realized that the principle of Akaza's blood demon art, destruction and compass needle was to reflect the enemy's position by sensing the fighting spirit."

"By the way, let me explain what fighting spirit means. Akaza uses martial arts to fight with his bare hands, and after becoming a demon, he constantly fights against successive pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, and through this he has cultivated an extremely strong fighting spirit. He is able to grasp extremely subtle fighting spirit, and the principle of his blood demon art of destruction and killing, the compass needle, is to determine the opponent's position by sensing the opponent's fighting spirit." [Komaji] looked disappointed - thinking back to when he first read this book, he believed in the so-called fighting spirit in it, and was very excited to activate it, but after working hard for a long time, he got nothing in the end.

"Aikuza has great respect for strong people with strong fighting spirit (such as Rengoku Kyojuro). Although Aikuza's own fighting spirit is already extremely strong, he still has not reached the highest realm of being able to freely hide his fighting spirit, that is, the "transparent world."】

"...Fuji, Fujino's wife?" A strand of hair suddenly appeared on Kanroji Mitsuri's head, and her eyes became small. "Then, who is that?"

"Hmm!" said Rengoku Kyojuro, "I think she must be a great woman!"

"No, no, no." The member of the Demon Slayer Corps next to him complained, "The point is not this, the point should be the so-called 'fighting spirit'."

However, these two are obviously just exceptions in the column, and the other columns still pay attention to the key points.

"I didn't expect that fighting spirit would be linked to the transparent world." Tokito Muichiro said, "Can ghosts also open the transparent world?"

"It seems that we should have dealt with this Awoza as early as possible." Iguro Obana said, "Otherwise we can't be sure whether he will suddenly open up the transparent world or freely hide his fighting spirit."

With the advent of the big screen and the flapping of butterflies’ wings, the future has been changed.

[“Afterwards, Tanjiro recalled what his father had taught him before his death, and from that he remembered how to use the transparent world, and saved Giyuu when he was about to be killed.”

"Akuza also noticed Tanjiro's change, so he decided to use his ultimate move - Destruction Killing, Final Style, Blue and Silver Random Light to defeat Tanjiro directly. However, Tanjiro, who activated the transparent world, almost completely avoided the Blue and Silver Random Light that even Giyuu could not completely resolve. Just when Akuza, who thought Tanjiro was dead, was about to kill Giyuu, Tanjiro took the initiative to show him When Akaza was about to counterattack, he found that Tanjiro did not use any fighting spirit, which made his Sabotage Killing: Compass ineffective, so he stood there in a daze, and was then beheaded from the front by Tanjiro's Fire God Kagura: Sunshade. Immediately afterwards, Giyuu also threw his gantō and pierced Akaza's head, causing him to lose his head. 】

"No, Tomiokawa." Fuzugawa said, "You actually asked the younger generation to save you. You are still not a pillar."

"Yeah." Tomioka Giyuu nodded gently, "Tanjiro is amazing."

Fuzugawa Shima was really unstoppable. After a deep contact with Tomioka Giyuu, he found that he was really about to become... what is that word, a complainer, yes, a complainer. "Is that what I mean? I mean you should practice sword more and don't be outdone by a little demon who has just joined the Demon Slayer Corps for a few years!"

Samagiriyama, Sanusu's face was full of tension - just kidding, the ones fighting against Upper Rank 3 on the screen were their own, his two junior brothers - and even one of them was a miserable guy, Giyuu!

"How disgusting! How could you treat Giyuu and Tanjiro like this!"

[“However, the obsession of becoming stronger filled Inuza’s heart, which allowed him to break through the limits of demons like Mukuro—his neck was no longer his weakness. Even after losing his head, Inuza continued to fight the two with his headless body.”

"After severely injuring Tanjiro, he recalled his master's Akaza from Giyuu's words, and was pulled by Koyase's soul, and gradually began to recover his human memories. Afterwards, after understanding why he was so angry, he also realized that he could no longer go to the place where the important people were (heaven) anyway, so he intended to drag Giyuu and Tanjiro to hell together."】

"He's crazy!" Santo was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Why are you dragging my brave Tanjiro down to hell? I feel sorry for him!"

People are biased. Even though he knew what happened to Inoza at the beginning, when he saw that Inoza wanted to drag Giyuu Tanjiro to hell, Satsuki couldn't hold back at all: "What does this have to do with Giyuu Tanjiro? Did Giyuu Tanjiro bring all these sufferings to him? Giyuu Tanjiro is always a gentle and good child!"

【“However, when his head regenerated, Akaza was hit hard by Tanjiro who had just woken up from his coma, just like what Master Keizo had done to him. Stimulated by this, Akaza, or Komaji.” [Komaji] hesitated and changed his name back, “finally remembered that what he really wanted to destroy was actually himself, who had failed to keep his promise to his father and lover, and had stained his master’s most important Sū-ryū Fist, which was used for protection rather than killing, with blood.”

"In the end, after smiling at Tanjiro, Akaza used the Destruction Killing Style to kill himself, and admitted that he had already lost when Tanjiro beheaded him."】

Xuantu changed his mind again: "He is really a man!"

"In fact, this person is not a bad person by nature." Colleague B said, "It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes as soon as one realizes them."

"It's finally over." Mitsuri Kanroji breathed a sigh of relief, "It's great that Mr. Tomioka and brother Tanjiro are still alive."

[“At the time of Miru, Akaza, who had transformed back into Komaji, had a conversation with his father and master in a hallucination and expressed their approval of him. But then, Akaza’s last demon, Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan, appeared at this time and forced him to regenerate and fight again…”]

???

Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps, from the hidden ones to the former and current pillars, all asked a question mark.

"No, what's wrong with this Muzan Muzan? He's too unglamorous!" Uzui Tengen's face was full of questions. "People are ready to commit suicide, but he's not going to let them commit suicide... What's this? Do we have to fight again?"

["But fortunately, his lover Zuxue appeared again in time and finally eradicated his inner demons. Komaji turned into a human again, hugged tightly the lover he had not been able to protect during his lifetime, hugged him and cried loudly to plead with him Forgive. After Xuexue said the words "Welcome back, husband" with tears in his eyes, Koji finally broke into pieces and disappeared. His soul was reunited with his lover, and he went to hell to redeem himself. "

"I came to hell with my family to atone for my sins. When Goto asked me how it felt to be beheaded by the breathing technique, I said it felt as refreshing as a blue summer sky." Komaji exhaled and murmured, "It was great."

I don't know who this is talking about, myself in the book, or myself and Lian Xue living here. 】

Fortunately, what Uzui Tengen was worried about did not happen. Everyone was of course happy to see this result.

Mitsuri Kanroji covered her mouth and sighed: "What a beautiful romance."

"Finally, we got rid of Upper Three." Shinobu Kocho smiled with some sincerity.

"That's great." Fuzugawa Miyabi said, "It looks like we can easily get rid of the Upper 3... no, Akaza."

Beimingyu Xingming: "Amitabha."

Tokito Muichiro: "Is Upper 2 next?"

Uzui Tengen laughed out loud: "It's really gorgeous!"

Iguro Obanai: "I don't know what happened to Kanroji and I during the decisive battle over there."

Rengoku Kyojuro: "Hmm! That's great! Tomioka and Kamado are awesome!"

Only Tomioka Giyuu has a different focus: "Was it Fire God Kagura who killed the Upper 3 in the end? Is this how Fire God Kagura feels about demons?"

Fuzuigawa Shigeya next to him: ...I think your focus is really strange. As expected of you, Tomioka.
