Chapter 9 Chapter 9 A harmonious conversation ended ...​​​​

After a pleasant conversation , the Ubuyashiki sisters saw Nagisa Usugano and Masato off .​​​

Only the lord and Tianyin were left in the room . Ubuyashiki Yoya coughed rapidly a few times . Tianyin brought him a cup of hot tea with a worried look on her face . After watching him take it and drink it , he slowly let out a few breaths .

Feeling his body weaken , Ubuyashiki Kōya calmed his breath and looked up at Amane . " I think if the swordsmen encounter someone outside the Demon Slayer Corps who can kill a demon alone , they wo n't fail to report it to me . "

" Master ... " Tianyin thought of him first .​​

" Azhu did n't lie . I 'm afraid the Demon Slayer swordsman he saw was not a real Demon Slayer swordsman . " Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded .​​​​​

The ability of an ordinary person to kill a demon with their bare hands is quite impressive , which means that this person is likely to have the strength to be a pillar .

After a few years , the already crude lie became even more untenable .

However, Usugaba Nagisa had very little contact with the core members of the Demon Slayer Corps , so she never thought there was any problem .

The real person 's purpose seems to be to reveal the relationship between humans and ghosts to Bo Ye Zhu .

Then why did he bring Uroha Nagisa to the Demon Slayer Corps ?

Ubuyashiki Yoya pondered for a moment before Amane , beside him , spoke with a faint smile : " The children of that family are not allowed to leave Tokyo Prefecture . "​​​

Although they were not close , Ubuyashiki Tenon studied at home when she was young and heard some secrets about that family .​​

Ubuyashiki Amane : " And if the child has rare blood , then improving their health will inevitably increase the risk of bleeding . "

" The wisteria land where the Demon Slayer Corps is located is the only place where he can get hurt without worrying about it . "

Maybe they were overthinking it . The real person just wanted Bo Yezhu , who was in poor health at the time , to exercise .

But since my home is in the center of Tokyo , there is no place to exercise .

Moreover, if someone is accidentally injured , the real person is reluctant to harm the innocent .

How many years the real person had lived in the world when he appeared in front of Usugaba Nagisa was something the Ubuyashiki couple could only guess .

But from the other party 's tone , it can be seen that he has always known about the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps , and he revealed other information in yesterday 's conversation .

For example , the era of ending ghosts is right now .

At that time , Ubuyashiki Yoya could hardly sit still . His pupils constricted as he stared at the real person , finding it almost difficult to think about the meaning of his words .

The real person just smiled and said , " Believe it or not , my lord . "

Ubuyashiki Yoya stared at him for a moment before speaking , " So that means that demons will appear in large numbers in the coming period , right ? "​​

" Mr. Zhenren , are you sure you can protect the people you want to protect ? "​

Are you sure ?

This is a question that has been bothering Zhenren for some time .

He hopes that Nagisa Uroha can live a long and healthy life and be happy , so he made up his mind to bring Nagisa Uroha to the Demon Slayer Corps .

When the lower and upper evil spirits appear one after another in the future, can he be sure that he will not encounter danger ?

Thinking of this , the smile on his face became a little stiff .

Bo Ye Zhu held his wrist , in a good mood , and shook his hand : " Are you tired , Zhenzhen ? "

Zhenren came back to his senses and lowered his head to meet Bo Ye Zhu 's gaze . He clenched and unclenched his other hand and said , " I was wondering if I should go out somewhere to play today since training starts tomorrow . "

" Tomorrow ?! " This sentence instantly pulled Bo Ye Zhu 's thoughts away , and the young man was shocked . " I thought it would take a few more days ! "

He pulled Zhenren : " Then let's go out quickly . "

Bo Ye Zhu made up his mind that he had to have a good day today no matter what , and the headquarters was closer to Tokyo Prefecture , so they could go back home .

He has been thinking about the snack shops near his home for a long time .

I also want to visit my former teacher , whom I have n't visited for almost a year .

The real person was helpless : " I 'll go back and get the money first . "

Bo Ye Zhu smiled and said , " Remember to take the key to your house . "

Watching the real person leave , Bo Ye Zhu began to plan what souvenirs to buy .​

The places where his teachers lived were a little difficult to get to , but he could ask someone to help him . In fact , there were not many teachers who still lived in Tokyo Prefecture in recent years .

Just as he was thinking , someone suddenly called him : " Ah , is that Bo Ye ? "

Bo Yezhu was stunned and turned his head to look over . He found that it was a familiar - looking team member who seemed to be a little younger than himself .

" I 'm Murata ! " the team member introduced himself . " We 're classmates ! "​

" Hey , I remember you . " After hearing this , Bo Ye Zhu immediately remembered and a smile appeared on his face .

They were originally in the same group training together . Among the players who were exhausted , in addition to the Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu , Murata also performed well .

He had the impression of Murata because he was very outgoing and they had chatted before . However , because Murata's career progressed rapidly in the past two years , he had n't seen Murata for a long time .

Murata rubbed the back of his head , somewhat flattered . " Haha , really ? By the way , are you going to serve under the Flame Pillar soon ? "

" Yes . "​

" Great , we 're from the same group ! " Murata clenched his fist . " I was late to the dojo just now . I heard you were there , so I thought you were going to be assigned to serve under the Flame Pillar . "

Murata : " Then you will leave tomorrow , right ? Master Flame will be returning to the base today . "

Bo Ye Zhu exclaimed , " Ah! " and asked doubtfully , " But don't we still have to train ? "

" Huh ? "

Murata was about to continue speaking when a voice suddenly interrupted : " Is that Murata ? "

Bo Ye Zhu turned his head and saw Zhenren walking towards him with a faint smile on his face . He was wearing a black and white haori , holding a red umbrella in one hand , and there was a piece of the same color hanging on his arm , which seemed to be for him .

" Long time no see . " Masato looked at Murata who was standing opposite Urobe Nagisa .

Murata shuddered and laughed dryly : " Yes , are you going out ? Then I wo n't bother you anymore . Goodbye ! "

Watching Murata leave in a hurry , Uroba Nagisa blinked : " You 're walking so fast . "​​

" Maybe it's an urgent matter . " Zhenren walked over and handed the black and white haori to Urobe Nagisa , covering the pattern on the back of the uniform .

Nagisa Hōba nodded without giving it much thought . " Is it because we haven't seen each other for so long that we feel unfamiliar ? Murata is from the same class as us . I remember him talking to us during training before . "

" It's rare that you remember it so clearly . " The real person lowered his eyes and helped him straighten his collar .

— —He remembered it after only three conversations . That ’s amazing .​​

And Uroba Nagisa immediately remembered his first training with the Demon Slayer Corps . He was not in good health , and even though he had Zhenzhen 's help in cheating , the training was still very hard for him .

After the training , everyone fell to the ground exhausted , and only a few were left sitting . Although they were very tired , everyone started chatting after a short rest .

Their conversation was very interesting , at least it was novel to Bo Yezhu . He rested his head on Zhenren 's legs and listened with his ears perked up .

The real person brushed away the sticky hair from his forehead and asked , " Do you want to chat with them ? "

They were sitting not too far away , and the real person's voice was low and could not be heard over there .

Bo Yezhu hesitated for a moment before saying , " No , I like listening to them chat . "

The topics they talked about were varied , such as family situations , reasons for joining the Demon Slayer Corps , and other common topics , as well as games they played as children and the delicacies of their hometown .

If there is any overlap , those people will become especially close .

What a wonderful time .​​

Bo Ye Zhu and Zhen Zhen sighed , and the two walked out of the headquarters and headed towards Tokyo Prefecture .

However, Bo Ye Zhu quickly put the previous episode behind him and continued to think about what souvenir to bring to the teacher . He naturally took the hand of Zhenren .

" But it seems like we did n't go anywhere . If I had known earlier , I should have bought some special gadgets to bring back yesterday . " said Bo Ye Zhu .

The real person suggested : " Why not just give something similar to what we gave last year ? "

The young man holding his hand shook his head . " No, no , how can last year 's gift be compared to this year's ? It should be different every year . "

" Besides, my salary this year is higher than last year , so I can buy more things ! "

Real person : … …

Bo Yezhu suddenly turned to look at him : " What's wrong ? You didn't bring enough money ? "

Real person : " You don't have to take all the money out , do you ? "

Meeting Uroba Nagisa 's gaze , Masato immediately found a reason to persuade him : " What if it falls along the way ? "​

" That's right . " Bo Ye Zhu looked away and sighed . " Well , actually , we should regularly save part of our salary at home . "

After all, there is a high probability that your home will not be robbed .

This was not the first time that Zhenren had met Bo Yezhu 's former teachers . Bo Yezhu looked very distressed . He immediately suppressed his previous dark emotions and carefully analyzed for Bo Yezhu what souvenirs to give him .​​​

After passing the mountain road , the sun was overhead . The real person opened an umbrella to block the sudden scorching sun .

Bo Ye Zhu raised his head and looked towards the nearby forest . " That 's Teng Xi Mountain over there , right ? "

The beautiful and dreamy purple color was looming . Their road briefly intersected with the road leading to Tengxi Mountain , and they were now almost at the intersection .

A figure wearing a light blue haori appeared in front .

The real person looked at the young man with a little surprise .

Is that ... Tanjiro ? We 've run into each other so early . Is he heading to Fujikiyama for the final selection ?​​

Bo Yezhu also saw the figure . It seemed that he was coming from another direction . He was not far ahead of them and seemed to be walking hurriedly .

" Is this the person who 's taking part in the selection ? " Bo Ye Zhu wondered . " I remember the final selection was still a few days away . "

The real person shook his head . " It was three days later . Maybe it was a child who came out for training . "

The two people spoke softly , and the young man in front could not hear clearly . He only heard the words " final selection " .

Tanjiro paused , his eyes lit up . Was the person behind him also going to participate in the final selection ?

He turned his head and was about to say hello when he saw two young men of similar stature standing side by side , wearing exactly the same clothes . The one on the left had silver hair , and the one on the right had blue hair .

He was much taller than himself . Tanjiro Kamado was stunned . He didn't look like someone who would participate in the final selection .

Usugaba Nagisa noticed that the boy in the aqua - blue feathered robe turned around , obviously having heard their conversation . He had a good impression of the future member of the Demon Slayer Corps .

With a faint smile on his face , and the child looked particularly likable , he spoke first : " Hello , are you going to participate in the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps ? "

The real person didn't say anything , but looked at Bo Ye Zhu sideways .

" Ah ! Yes ! " Tanjiro Kamado nodded .​​​

Uroba Nagisa : " Is it today ? "​​

After receiving a positive answer , Uroba Nagisa glanced at the real person and found that the other party 's eyes never left him . He felt a little embarrassed , touched the tip of his nose , and looked at Tanjiro again .

" We are also members of the Demon Slayer Corps . We wish you success in passing the final selection . "

Meeting the boy's suddenly bright eyes , Bo Yezhu smiled and reminded him , " It looks like this place isn't far from Tengxi Mountain , but it 'll take quite a while to get there on foot . You 'd better hurry up . "

" Ah ! Thank you ! " Tanjiro Kamado opened his eyes wide and hurriedly set out again on the road to Fujishiro Mountain , this time obviously moving at a faster pace .

Watching the boy trotting away , Bo Ye Zhu murmured , " He 's so energetic . "

" By the way , Zhenzhen , " he raised his eyebrows and looked at the person next to him , " You seem to know him ? "

“ … No . ” Masato paused and felt that he was not lying , because he had indeed never met Tanjiro in this world .​

" Of course I 've seen him . " Bo Ye Zhu couldn't help but notice his strangeness . " Do you really care what I think of that child ? "

Sometimes , Bo Yezhu is terrifyingly sharp .​​

Just as the real person nodded , he heard Bo Ye Zhu 's smiling voice : " What a likable boy . "​

After a while , the Immortal spoke , word by word : " What did you say ? "

" Hahaha , just kidding . Do n't get angry with a kid you just met . "
