Ize Shan was really convinced.

He had previously learned about the Tsugumi brothers through the memories of Tokito Muichiro, and had a rough idea of ​​Tsugumi Iwakatsu's character, but when he actually came to this era and met Tsugumi Iwakatsu, Izawa Sugi realized that he was still too naive and self-righteous.

How could Jiguo Yansheng put all the blame on his younger brother Yuan and become so unwilling and jealous?

What made Izawa Sugi's scalp tingle was that when Jiguo Yansheng vomited blood and passed out, when Jiguo Yuan looked at him, the look in his eyes was no longer just jealousy and suspicion, but anger, and followed by a cold murderous intent.

Izawa Shan, who was forced to enjoy the treatment of a ghost king, felt that he was wronged.

Izawa Sugi silently controlled Jiguo Yansheng's breathing, to prevent Jiguo Yansheng from getting emotionally agitated and causing his injuries to worsen and die. As for the rest... I'm sorry, there is no such person.

He didn't want to say anything to Ji Guoyuan before Ji Guoyansheng woke up.

Izawa Sugi knew what Tsugumi Kuniichi was thinking, which was that his brother's body was possessed by a strange thing and he wanted to find a way to kill it.

Ji Guoyuan is full of anger and hostility. Now is not a good time to talk about things.

At this moment, Jigoku Iwakatsu has fainted. If Izawa Sugi controls Jigoku Iwakatsu's body again, wouldn't that confirm Jigoku Yuenichi's speculation?

Ji Guoyuan waited anxiously for a few seconds, and seeing that his brother's breath was getting weaker and weaker, he finally couldn't help but step forward. He carefully and vigilantly helped Ji Guoyansheng up, and quickly rushed towards the nearest village.

Izawa Sugi breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer cared about Jiguo Yansheng and contacted Merlin privately.

"Have you ever met someone like Jiguo Yansheng?"

Merlin covered his cheeks. For reasons known to all, his teeth hurt a little, causing his voice to be a little unclear: "No, this is the first time I've seen a brother who is jealous of his younger brother but has never done anything for him."

After Merlin said this, Izawa Sugi also remembered, yes, Jigoku Iwakatsu hated his younger brother in his heart every day, but he said nothing and did nothing!

They are just being jealous!

...absolutely.

"Humans are so interesting. Just work hard." Merlin said in amazement, "I have no idea how to help Jigoku Yansheng achieve his dream."

Izawa Sugi sighed and said, "In fact, his dream has been achieved."

Merlin was stunned: "Are you kidding?"

"I said, he and Jiguo Yuanyi are twins, and they chase each other's halves. Jiguo Yansheng wanted to get the talent and strength like his brother, so when he entered the transparent realm with my help and saw the true meaning of the world, he actually achieved his ideal."

"But that was because you helped him cheat. With his own ability, he wants to enter the realm of clarity in his lifetime... I think it's a bit difficult. His mind is not at peace."

Izawa Sugi: "Yes, that's why he was so sad and angry, but!"

His voice was filled with deep helplessness. "Being sad because I can't reach the state of clarity, and vomiting blood because I can't catch up with my brother... Although the reasons are similar, they are different after all."

The former lamented that he could not reach the highest level in swordsmanship, while the latter was still jealous of his younger brother!

"So the point is not about kendo, nor about becoming stronger, the root cause is his younger brother, Yuichiro Tsuchikoku!"

Ize Shan asked Meilin for help, "You are the master of dreams, can you let Jiguo Yansheng have a dream? Let him dream that he is the younger brother and Jiguo Yuanyi is the older brother?"

The pseudonym Izawa Sugi is unable to perform illusion online, so he can only ask Merlin for help.

Merlin became interested after hearing this: "Switch identities and situations?"

Ize Shan said weakly: "Let's give it a try."

Jiguo Yansheng knew he was dreaming.

In the dream, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was just born. He had no vision yet and could only hear the sound of fierce quarrels, a high-pitched female voice that was piercing to the point of piercing, and roars filled with anger.

He tried hard to see, but he could see nothing clearly. Finally, he was too tired and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Jiguo Yansheng found himself a child of about two years old. He lived in a narrow room of three and a half buildings. Only his mother and her maid would come to talk to him.

Ji Guoyansheng was a little confused, but gradually he learned everything through conversations with people around him.

He has a twin brother named Yuanyi. Because his brother had a mark on his forehead when he was born, which was the mark of God, Yuanyi became the heir of the family.

Originally, his twin brother was going to be drowned, but because his mother argued and yelled angrily with his father, his father finally compromised and planned to send him to a temple to become a monk when he was ten years old.

After Ji Guoyansheng learned this information, he was stunned.

Isn't he the elder brother? How come he is the younger brother?

Yuanyi... Yuanyi has the spots again and sees through the whole world? And will he be sent to the temple and become a monk?

He is no longer the heir of the family, and cannot pick up a sword to become a samurai, let alone become the strongest...

And it is impossible for me to attract my father's attention and change his successor through my god-like talents like Yuanyi, so is my future destined to be a monk?

In Jiguo Yansheng's dazed mood, the dream fast-forwarded, and in the blink of an eye he seemed to be ten years old. His mother had passed away, and Jiguo Yansheng was sent to a temple by his father.

When leaving, Jiguo Yansheng saw Jiguo Yuanyi.

He was wearing the same small jacket that Ji Guoyansheng had worn before, and looked very noble, but the calmness and gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes were just as they were in Ji Guoyansheng's memory.

Jiguo Yuanyi held Jiguo Yansheng's hand and seemed to say something, but after not seeing Yuanyi's face for a long time, Jiguo Yansheng felt a stomachache, so he shook off Jiguo Yuanyi's hand, turned around and followed his servants to leave Jiguo City.

Ji Guoyansheng could notice that Ji Guoyuanyi was looking at his back for a long time, but Ji Guoyansheng did not turn back.

He thought, this is fine.

Yuanyi's talent will be further revealed, and he will bloom like the sun in this era, while an incompetent person like himself would be better off growing old alone in a temple.

Life in the temple is very boring. I recite scriptures, sweep the floor, and do my daily prayers, as if time has stopped.

Ah, is this my future?

——If my future life is just like this stagnant pool, then why did I come to this world?

Ji Guoyan suddenly thought of a sentence: Do you have your own ideal? It has nothing to do with your brother, and it is not about chasing him, but it is simply what you want to do?

He is no longer the heir to the city lord, nor does he need to be the strongest to protect his family and the weak. He is free to do whatever he wants.

So what does he want to do?

At this moment, the only thing that appeared in Jiguo Yansheng's mind was the sword, besides Jiguo Yuanyi's face.

He tried his best to chase his brother Yuanyi. Perhaps this obsession was illusory, but the blood on his hands from holding the sword and the fatigue and pain from swinging the sword hundreds of thousands of times were real.

It was the only thing he had.

And the only things he had were completely insignificant in front of Yuanyi.

So sad.

…

Merlin waved his hands to Izesugi: "I'm sorry, I tried my best, but I failed!"

Ize Shan raised his hands to cover his face: "Forget it, let him wake up from his dream. The drug is working anyway."

During the time when Merlin was letting Jigoku Iwakatsu dream, Jigoku Yuichi had his crow contact the head of the family of Sanyashiki's generation.

When the head of the Sanmuyashiki family learned that the Demon King had died, he was overjoyed and cried for joy. He then felt deeply grateful to Tsukoku Iwakatsu. After learning that Tsukoku Iwakatsu was seriously injured in the battle with the Demon King, he immediately sent someone to take Tsukoku Iwakatsu to the Sanmuyashiki family's annex and invited a doctor to diagnose and treat Tsukoku Iwakatsu.

Jiguo Yansheng was in a coma for one day and two nights, and slowly opened his eyes in the early morning of the third day.

Ji Guoyuan was dozing off beside him. The moment he noticed his brother's breathing was abnormal, he immediately opened his eyes and walked over to him: "Brother? Are you feeling better?"

Jiguo Yansheng, who had a nightmare about being a monk, saw his brother's face as soon as he opened his eyes. His stomach suddenly churned. He turned his face away and said in a hoarse and dry voice: "I..."

Ji Guoyuan quickly picked up the kettle beside him and poured a cup of hot water for Ji Guoyansheng: "Brother, drink some water to moisten your throat first."

Jiguo Yansheng's stomach churned even more violently, and a nauseous feeling surged up, but he was seriously injured now, and he had no strength to break free from Jiguo Yuanyi, so he could only let his brother help him feed him water.

Jiguo Yansheng cleared his throat. He ignored Jiguo Yuanyi and asked in his heart: "Saber?"

Izawa Sugi: "I'm here, you're awake, the Demon Slayer Corps leader asked a doctor to treat your injuries, you should take good care of yourself."

Jiguo Yansheng asked: "Is the Ghost King really dead?"

Izawa Sugi gave an affirmative answer: "Dead, dead and can't die anymore."

Jiguo Yansheng's expression was somewhat complicated and confused.

Ji Guoyuan carefully looked at Ji Guoyansheng's expression and said softly, "Brother, the Ghost King has been killed by you..."

"He was killed by you!" Jiguo Yansheng said expressionlessly.

When Ji Guoyuan thought of the unknown existence that controlled his brother's body in the end, he pursed his lips and did not refute. He continued: "The Demon Slayer Corps has confirmed that all other demons are dead. Everyone has worked hard to kill evil demons for so many years, and finally there is a result."

The Demon Slayer Corps exists to kill evil demons. Now that the Demon King is cold, the head of the Umayashiki family, after being happy, begins to deal with the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Simply put, everyone goes back to their own homes.

Tsugumi Kuniichi: "Swordsmen with family businesses can leave on their own. If you are a swordsman without a home, the Umayashiki family will help you settle down. Brother, what are your plans?"

"......Ah?" Jiguo Yansheng was confused and dumbfounded after hearing this.

Yes, he abandoned his family, wife and children to come to the Demon Slayer Corps to kill demons. The Samanyashiki and the Demon Slayer Corps will provide food, lodging and money. He can freely study swordsmanship with the swordsmen gathered in the Demon Slayer Corps without having to worry about material things.

But now that the Demon Kings are dead, the Umayashiki family has no intention of holding on to the Demon Slayer Corps as their own army, so they must send these swordsmen back home!

In the Warring States Period, surnames were only for the nobility. The fact that Jigoku Iwakatsu and Jigoku Enichi had surnames showed that they were different from swordsmen of commoner origin.

The Sanyashiki family has a long history, and the head of the family has probably heard about Jikoku's situation, but he never thought that Jikoku's brothers might continue to follow Sanyashiki. He thought that Jikoku's brothers would definitely return to Jikoku!

Furthermore, the head of the Umayashiki family also wanted to discuss the placement of swordsmen with Tsugumi Iwakatsu.

Because with the disbandment of the Demon Slayer Corps, many homeless swordsmen actually planned to leave with the Jikoku brothers.

After all, Jiguo Yansheng is the head of the Jiguo family and the lord of the city, and these swordsmen have no other skills except sword swinging. They also learned the breathing method and sword skills developed by Jiguo Yuanyi. The Jiguo brothers also killed the Ghost King, which was considered revenge for them, so they might as well work for the Jiguo brothers.

Tsugumi Kuniichi roughly relayed the gratitude of the head of the Umayashiki family and the follow-up matters of the Demon Slayer Corps, and then he changed the subject: "Brother, although Muzan Kibutsuji Muzan is dead, you were poisoned by the Demon King before that. I am worried that you will have some sequelae, so I asked the priests from my wife's family to pray for you."

"I acted without your permission. Please forgive me."

Jiguo Yansheng: "..."

His mind was a little confused, from what would he do if the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, to why he was actually responsible for the future of some swordsmen, and whether he should return to Jiguo Castle? Then how would he face his wife, children, and ministers...

As for asking the priests to pray for him? Jiguo Yansheng didn't pay any attention to this sentence.

But Izawa Sugi almost vomited.

Asking clergy to pray for him is definitely targeting him!

Does Ji Guoyuan think he is an evil spirit?

No, we can't drag this on any longer, we should quickly explain everything clearly.

Izawa Sugi said to Tsugumi Iwakatsu: "Can you introduce him to us? We, the future Demon Slayers, really look up to this senior, Yuichi."

Jiguo Yansheng's face twisted slightly, his hands clenched into fists, and finally loosened them in frustration.

Yes, he had known for a long time that Saber admired Yoichi Tsuchikoku very much. Even the Dream Spirit he summoned was eager to meet Yoichi...

Izawa Sugi: “…”

Oh no! Why does his alias have a clear vision? Why is seeing through a skill a Heroic Spirit?

He should use the skills that the Lord of the Underworld has next time! This way, he won't have the illusion of stomachache because of the Lord of the Underworld's weird ideas!

Jiguo Yansheng raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly. He said weakly: "Yuanyi, this is Saber."

As he said this, light golden particles appeared beside Jiguo Yansheng and formed a young man wearing a dark green coat.

Ji Guoyuan's eyes instantly swept over like a sharp sword.

If Ji Guoyan hadn't stood between the two of them, I'm afraid Ji Guoyuan would have attacked him with a sword.

Ize Shan smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew this would happen.

Jigoku Iwakatsu continued, "He comes from the future and is your successor in swordsmanship."

From the future? Ji Guoyuan was a little surprised. He looked carefully at the person in front of him. This person had a calm and gentle temperament, with a smile on his face. His black and green eyes seemed to contain a strong vitality.

Ji Guoyuan felt that there seemed to be something behind this man, like countless strange creatures, which were making strange rustling sounds, but at a certain moment, all these things condensed into a whole.

Ize Shan said softly: "It's not a good thing to see too clearly. Don't look anymore. Just look at me, or your brother."

With Ji Kuniyoshi's talent, if he wanted to, or consciously developed his talent, he might really be able to see the pulse of light hidden behind Izawa Sugi's projection.

"Mr. Enichi, on behalf of countless future generations of Demon Slayers, I would like to express my highest respects to you."

Izawa Sugi bowed very seriously.

At this moment, he is no longer himself, but represents Ubuyashiki Kōya, Amane-san, Uzui Tengen, Kocho Shinobu, Tomioka Giyu and all those who have tried their best to kill evil spirits.

"Thank you for inventing the breathing method, thank you for leaving behind the initial breathing, and thank you for killing the Demon King. It was with your help that we were able to finally kill Muzan Muzan and completely end the hatred and curse that had lasted for a thousand years."

Ji Guoyuan looked at Izawa Sugi quietly, and after a while he said, "It's nothing, it's the result of your own hard work."

Izawa Sugi was about to say something else when he heard Tsugumi Kuniichi say, "I want to know more about how you, a person from the future, came to our time, and why you possessed my brother."

Izawa Sugi perked up and quickly explained, "I know Muichiro, a descendant of the Lord of the Rings. I have a special talent and sensed the call of Muichiro's blood. That's how I accidentally arrived in the Warring States Period. It's my honor to meet all the seniors."

Ji Guoyuan's expression softened a little.

He asked a question that interested him: "Brother's descendants?"

Izawa Sugi nodded and briefly told the story of Tokito Muichiro: "He and his brother are twins. His brother was killed by a demon. To avenge his brother, Muichiro joined the Demon Slayer Corps. In the end, we fought together and killed the Demon King."

After hearing this, Ji Guoyuan's face flashed with relief, and he subconsciously looked at Ji Guoyansheng.

"…Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise my brother would have been killed by the demon."

He and Tsuchikuni Iwakatsu are twins, and he also has a good (?) talent in swordsmanship. Their brothers were also attacked by demons, but Tokito Muichiro's brother unfortunately died, but his brother is still alive!

This is so great!

But Jiguo Yansheng was once again reminded that his subordinates were killed by evil spirits and that he had behaved shamefully in front of his brother. His face turned pale immediately, and he almost fainted due to excessive blood loss and emotional turmoil.

Ji Guoyuan had been looking at Ji Guoyansheng, and when he saw his brother's face suddenly turn ugly, he quickly reached out to support Ji Guoyansheng.

"Brother?"

Izawa Sugi saw through what Jigoku Iwakatsu was thinking and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This Lord's thoughts are more delicate than his hair.

At this moment, Jiguo Yansheng calmed down his breathing. He avoided Jiguo Yuanyi's gaze and said calmly: "The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps are just grateful to you for teaching them the breathing method. You also killed the Demon King. You can take them back to Jiguo City."

Ji Guoyuan didn't think too much about it. Since his brother had ordered him to do so, he agreed: "Yes."

Ize Shan frowned: "Master, don't you plan to return to Jiguo City?"

Jiguo Yansheng doesn't want to see his brother's face anytime soon, he said: "I want to travel somewhere else!"

Ize Shan thought again and thought, that's fine, reading a thousand books will help you travel a thousand miles. If Jiguo Yansheng can compete with other swordsmen and improve his strength, it will help alleviate some of his obsession.

Ji Guoyuan's eyes lit up: "Brother, you are still injured, can I go with you?"

Ji Guoyansheng refused subconsciously: "No! Don't follow me!"

Ji Guoyuan's face showed obvious loss and sadness.

The experienced Izawa Sugi quickly added: "In fact, Master Yu felt that only you could perfectly protect the Jiguo Castle, so he asked you to do it."

Ji Guoyuan was cheered up after hearing this. He looked at Ji Guoyansheng and said, "I understand. I will lead the swordsmen to Ji Guocheng."

Jiguo Yansheng wanted to say something, but ended up sighing.

Well, Yuanyi is better than him and was his father's preferred candidate for the city lord.

That's it, everyone goes back to their own place, whether he becomes a monk or dies in a foreign land because of his spots, as long as he doesn't go back, Yuanyi will know nothing and will think he is traveling...

Just as the younger generation named Tokito Muichiro said to Saber.

The sun and the moon are celestial bodies that separate white and black. Even though they hang in the sky at the same time in the early morning and evening, they will eventually return to their respective orbits, one upwards and the other downwards, facing each other from far away.

At this moment, Ji Guoyuan suddenly thought of something.

"Brother, your stripes... I'm sorry. I'll find a way. So even if you want to travel, please go back to Jiguo City first, okay? Wait until I solve the stripe problem before you leave?"

Jigoku Iwakatsu replied casually: "It doesn't matter, I will die only if Saber leaves me."

Ji Guoyuanyi: "...Huh?!"

Thinking of what Muzan Muzan said before his death, "Your brother is mine", Ji Guoyuan slowly looked at Izawa Sugi, and all the expressions on his face disappeared.
