Chapter 55

Without him saying it, everyone else knew - looking at Fuzugawa's expression, something bad must have happened later.

Was it that someone in his family was killed by a ghost when he was out?

...No, it's probably worse than this.

[[Buzuikawa Miyabi] took a deep breath and calmly said a shocking thing:

"Fuzugawa Shigeya's mother turned into a ghost, and then came back and killed his brothers and sisters. Except for Genya, all the other brothers and sisters were killed by his mother."

"Let's go back to the part where Fuzugawa Shimizu went out to look for his mother. Shimizu found that a ghost had attacked his home and hurried back. When he got home, he found that all his brothers and sisters except Genmi had been killed. In order to protect his brother, Shimizu started to fight with the ghost."

"As the sky gradually brightened, he finally realized the fact he was most reluctant to accept - the ghost that attacked his family was his mother who had not returned for a long time. Afterwards, Xuan Mi was injured by his irrational mother in the struggle, but Shi Mi's blood soon took effect. The ghost mother was drunk due to the blood and her movements became slow. However, no matter how reluctant he was, in order to protect his brother, Shi Mi had to be cruel and severely injure his mother with a knife, making her completely unable to move."

"At this moment, Xuan Mi, who had hurried over, witnessed this scene. Xuan Mi, who mistakenly believed that his brother had killed his mother, began to cry and angrily called Shi Mi a 'murderer.'"

"Despite this, watching his mother gradually disappear with the sunlight and his brother constantly scolding him, he had no choice but to accept this tragic fate. In order to protect Xuanya, Fuzugawa Saneya decided to go out to hunt ghosts alone, and eventually left Xuanya behind and disappeared."】

"Amitābha..." Beimingyu Xingming put his hands together and chanted the scriptures. No wonder Xuanmi didn't want him to tell Busuichuan about his presence here. Is this the case?

... Amitabha, how sad.

The experience of the Wind Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps is even more tragic than that of Tanjiro Kamado. Rindoki Sakonji sighed: You know, Tanjiro only went home to see the corpses of his family members, while the Wind Pillar actually killed his mother who turned into a demon.

Next... a trace of nostalgia appeared on Fuzugawa Miyabi's face. They must be getting close.

[“When young Muzukawa Shigeya left home, the new place he lived in was in poor security. People always came to cause trouble for him, so he was often bullied. In order to protect himself, Shigeya began to force himself to yell at strangers, and gradually developed a violent temper, which he could not change until he joined the Demon Slayer Corps. In order to hunt demons, he armed himself with a large number of knives, fought with demons, captured them, and then destroyed them with sunlight.”

"During a demon hunting operation, Jimi met the member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Makino Masachika, and learned about the existence of the Nichirin Sword and the Demon Slayer Corps from Masachika. With Masachika's recommendation, Jimi learned the Wind Breathing Technique and became a formal demon hunter. During the mission, Jimi gradually let down his guard against Masachika, and the two were taken care of by Kocho Kanae."】

So the reason why the Wind Pillar has such a bad temper is to protect himself? All the members of the Demon Slayer Corps thought. Colleague B burst into tears: "So the Wind Pillar has such a sad past... Wuwuwu, I will never complain about his bad temper again..."

[“In the battle with the previous Lower Moon, Kouhoutori, although Fuzugawa Saneya and Masachika succeeded in killing her together, Masachika unfortunately died. Later, Saneya became the Wind Pillar and was asked to participate in the meeting of the pillars.”

"At the meeting, Jiya, who was in the grief of losing a friend, mistakenly thought that the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Yashiki Kōya, was just abandoning the swordsmen like chess pieces, so he spoke rudely to him, causing dissatisfaction among the other pillars. But Kōya said it was okay, and also said: 'Although I also want to fight like everyone else, I am weak and I am willing but not strong enough, and I am the same as everyone else and can be replaced at any time.' Finally, Kōya apologized to Jiya, who was in the grief of losing a friend."

"Afterwards, the Lord revealed the name of Kuang Chika who had died. And Kocho Kanae also said that the Lord actually remembered the life stories of all the deceased team members."

"Immediately afterwards, Muzukawa Shigeya received Masahiro's last words from his lord. Masahiro said at the end of his last words that he saw the shadow of his deceased brother in himself. After learning that his best friend was fighting to protect the people he loved, Shigeya finally couldn't help but shed tears of sorrow. At the same time, all of Shigeya's wariness and disgust towards his lord disappeared, and he became as respectful of his lord as the other pillars."】

This episode can be regarded as a public execution of the dark history... I actually said something rude to the lord. Busei Kagawa almost wanted to find a loophole to sneak in.

Busui Kagawa's words of disrespect to the lord... seemed particularly new in front of those who became pillars a little later - you know, since they became pillars, they have never seen Busui Kagawa treat the lord like this.

Tokito Muichiro even widened his eyes, staring at Busei Kawai like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Fushigawa Miyabi felt uncomfortable. "What are you doing?" he said viciously, "You still don't allow people to make mistakes? How could I have known that at the time!"

【“Later, Fuzugawa accidentally met his younger brother Genmiya, who had already joined the Demon Slayer Corps. Although Genmiya had already learned the truth and felt guilty towards his brother, and intended to apologize to Saneyama, Saneyama was very angry because his brother chose to embark on a dangerous path. In order to make his brother leave the Demon Slayer Corps, Saneyama deliberately treated his brother very badly and refused to admit that they were brothers.”

"But afterwards, Xuanmi worshipped the Rock Pillar, Gyoumei the Sadling Island, as his master, so Shimizu simply cut off contact with his brother and deliberately acted ruthless when facing his brother."】

Fuzugawa Miyabi turned around and looked at Sadness Island Gyoumei: "..."

He seemed to have found a clue about his brother.

Sad and sad: "..."

Beimingyu Xingming: "Amitabha, Fushigawa, I have not yet accepted your brother as my disciple."

[“It’s your turn now, Iguro.” Fuzugawa Miyabi began. “The next chapter for me will be the Hashiraka Judgment Arc.”]

"Trouble." On the screen, [Iguro Obana] rolled his eyes and muttered. 】

Off-screen, Iguro Obanai sat up straight. Kanroji Mitsuri pursed her lips and said, "Is it Mr. Iguro's past story... But without Mr. Iguro's permission... isn't it a bit bad..."

She would rather listen to Mr. Iguro when he wants to tell her.

【“I… never mind. Iguro Obanai was born on Hachijo Island. In his own opinion, the Iguro family he belongs to is a shameless clan that relies on murdering others to enrich themselves. They use the money they robbed to build houses, live a life of luxury, and squander. They are an ugly clan with no sense of shame. It is said that it is a family that only gives birth to girls. No boys have been born in 370 years, and he is a rare boy among them.”

"Soon after he was born, little Bane was locked up in a cell. Although his mother, sisters, and other relatives would send sumptuous meals to his cell every day, their hypocritical smiles and cheesy words always made him feel disgusted. At the same time, there were no windows in the cell, which made the whole cell always full of greasy smell, making him not only lose his appetite, but also always feel nauseous. And every night, there would be the sound of some giant creature crawling back and forth on the ceiling of the cell, which made him, who was still young at the time, very scared."】

"…Hmm! This is hard to imagine! Are these really my parents?" Rengoku Kyojuro said. He crossed his arms and said this. Suddenly, he felt very familiar with Iguro's story, as if he had heard a similar story before.

Rengoku Shinjuro glanced at the screen and put down the bottle of wine in his hand. That mission really left a deep impression on him. It was just a snake ghost...

Fuzukawa Miyabi's expression was somewhat complicated.

Even he, Iguro Xiaoban's best friend, never mentioned his past to him when he talked to Iguro about the people in the family... Now, everything has an answer.

【“When she was 12 years old, Xiao Banei was finally taken out of the cell and brought to a large and magnificent room. In her horror, Xiao Banei saw clearly that the person lying on the altar in the middle of the room was a half-human, half-snake female demon. Xiao Banei immediately realized that it was this snake demon in front of her that made the sound at night.”

"It turns out that the Iguro clan has been living on the money that this snake demon has taken from killing others for more than 300 years. In exchange, they would sacrifice their children alive to this snake demon who loves to eat babies the most. As a boy, I naturally attracted the interest of this snake demon because I was born with heterochromatic eyes. But at this time, the snake demon said: 'He is too young, let's raise him a little older.' Although Obanai saved his life because of the snake demon's bad taste, he was still asked to "look like a snake" because of the snake demon's bad taste, and his mouth was cut and his face was completely disfigured by his family - that's why he always has a bandage on his face."

[Fuzuigawa Saneya]: "By the way, the bandage on this guy's face is not completely disfigured. This guy is just allergic to all women outside of [Ganlu Temple], so he wears the bandage."

[Tomioka Giyuu] was confused: "So [Iguro] is also allergic to the series of sisters in their family?"

[Buzukawa] shrugged: "It's hard to say."】

"Mr. Iguro..." Mitsuri Kanroji suddenly felt a lump in her throat, "So... So..."

"It's just a plain snake demon!" Uzui Tengen laughed in anger, "What a strong sense of bad taste!"

"Should we be glad that Iguro is not here now?" Tokito Muichiro suddenly said - obviously, he also hated the snake demon's bad taste.

The doctor of the Demon Slayer Corps asked calmly, "But if there are no men in Mr. Iguro's family, where do all those babies come from?"

“…”

“…………”

Demon Slayer Corps: ...That’s a good question.
