Chapter 65
【“Here… we need to talk about… my brother’s thoughts at the time.” [Tsukuni Iwakatsu] interrupted, “After… my father’s subordinates reported to my father about him… [Yuichi], the brothers’ positions completely reversed. Tsukuni’s family business became his, and my brother moved into that… room that was only three tatami mats big. And three years later, the ten-year-old brother would be sent to a temple, and would never be able to… realize his dream of becoming a samurai.”
"At 1:00 pm, Yuanyi came to find my brother and told him the news of their mother's death. The news of their mother's death was like a bolt from the blue to my brother. At this time, he was also preparing to leave for the temple, and at this time, he was also preparing to say goodbye to my brother. He said that he would cherish the flute my brother gave him and continue to practice every day...to improve himself."
"He treated the old flute that could only play out-of-tune sounds like a treasure... He wrapped it in cloth and put it in his arms. But his brother couldn't understand why he was so happy about a... broken flute. This made his brother unhappy, but his brother... didn't say anything."
"From that moment on, the elder brother became extremely jealous of his younger brother. He hated his younger brother's... genius from the bottom of his heart. From then on, the friendship between the two brothers was also far apart... because of this wall called "talent"."】
"Ah, the two brothers have different talents, and their family doesn't provide proper guidance." Kanroji Mitsuri lamented, "It would be great if the two brothers could reconcile."
Unfortunately, reconciliation is no longer possible.
【“After that, the elder brother lived a stable life for more than ten years. He married and had children. He lived a leisurely life every day... but he was bored. He felt that the passage of time became slow. Then, when camping in the wild, the elder brother was attacked by a demon, which made... the originally stagnant time move. All his subordinates were killed by the demon. When the demon was about to attack Iwakatsu, the younger brother killed the demon and saved his elder brother.”
"When they met again, the younger brother's swordsmanship had reached perfection, and he defeated the demon in just a few moves. The moment he saw the other party, the older brother's original calm was completely destroyed, and his internal organs once again burned with jealousy and hatred."
"Now that his younger brother has become a strong, flawless, and noble man, the older brother longs to have the same strength and swordsmanship as his younger brother. So, he abandoned his family, wife, and children, joined the Demon Slayer Corps, and embarked on the same path as his younger brother... as a demon hunter."】
"Ha, this kind of person is really..." Fuzugawa Shima frowned in disgust, "abandoning his wife and children... It's really disgusting."
There was Ichiro squatting on the ground biting his nails.
Hiss, Tsugumi Yuichi and Tsugumi Iwakatsu are twins...yes, he and Muichiro are also twins.
Tsugumi Kuniichi is a swordsmanship genius...yes, Muichiro is also a swordsmanship genius.
Jiguo Yansheng's strength is not as good as Jiguo Yuanyi... He is not sure about this. Firstly, he does not know swordsmanship, and secondly, he has never competed with Muichiro. However, he believes that if he learns swordsmanship, he will be no worse than Muichiro.
It feels like everything is almost right... Yuichiro scratched his hair in annoyance, making it into a chicken nest - ahhh! If I hadn't died, Muichiro and I wouldn't have reached that point, right?
...But that shouldn't be the case? After all, their parents treat them equally?
Tokito Ichiro secretly glanced at his parents not far away.
Thinking of this, he became certain: Right! The two of us will never go that far! That Jigokuiwa Katsuki is not a good brother who loves his younger brother!
