Chapter 3 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

The anime "Demon Slayer" tells the story of the battle between man-eating demons and the demon-hunting demon slayers during the Taisho period in Japan.

Unlike ordinary humans, demons have long lives, strong bodies, rapid recovery abilities, and extraordinary blood demon arts.

Except for the inability to bathe in the sun, these demons can be called perfect creatures.

In contrast to them, there are members of the demon slayers who fight with breathing techniques and swordsmanship.

They are all mortals, ordinary people.

Therefore, this battle between humans and demons seems so cruel.

"Yes, demon?"

A voice full of doubt and surprise came from Mika's mouth, and his face was full of incredible expressions at this time.

Taking Mika's expression into his eyes, Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu already understood the whole story.

The other party must have misunderstood him before.

Just as Tomioka Giyuu was about to explain, the demonized girl who was restrained by him suddenly broke free from his palm and pounced on the boy who fell to the ground.

"Oops!"

As an experienced member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tomioka Giyu knows very well.

At this time, the demonized girl who had lost too much blood had fallen into a state of hunger. In this state, the demons have no reason at all.

They will bite the humans around them crazily, even if they are his relatives.

And with his current position, he may not be able to safely save the boy he knocked down.

But just when Tomioka Giyu regretted it, the girl did not bite the boy, but protected him behind her.

Then she pounced on Tomioka Giyu, as if she wanted to defeat Tomioka Giyu who hurt the boy.

But she was soon knocked unconscious to the ground.

But even so, the previous performance of the demonized girl also made the water pillar's heart shake constantly.

"Demons, actually still have reason!"

The voice was made by Mika standing behind Tomioka Giyu. After being called out, he has been standing here and taking in the previous scenes.

"I'm sorry for my previous shooting. I thought it was a dirty samurai bullying a girl. You must be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, right?"

After recognizing the current situation, Micah, who wanted to take the opportunity to join the Demon Slayer Corps, had already started his performance.

Seeing that the other party was still silent, Mika pretended to be unaware and continued: "I have been looking for your traces."

"My name is Mika. I was originally a hunter in the mountains, but one day I went out to sell prey and did not return home in time. Fortunately, I escaped from the attack of the evil ghost. Since that day, I have been wandering around, looking for the traces of evil ghosts and the legendary swordsman who kills ghosts."

"Excuse me, can you let me join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Looking at Mika's piercing eyes and examining his immature appearance, Tomioka Giyu, who had been silent all the time, said lightly: "The crossbow is not very useful for evil ghosts."

"I know, but apart from this, I have no other weapons. It's just a death anyway. Isn't it true that everyone will die sooner or later?"

Hearing Mika's response, Tomioka Giyu's heart was touched again.

He knew very well that if a young man like Mika continued to wander, he would definitely die in the mouth of an evil ghost in some unknown corner.

Thinking of this, the water column, who was different from the indifferent appearance and was actually very gentle in his heart, had made a decision.

Seeing that the other party fell into silence again, Mika also closed his mouth wisely, leaned against the tree trunk beside him, closed his eyes, and thought about the current situation.

Soon, the boy who was knocked down woke up.

As soon as he woke up, the boy hurriedly looked around, looking for the trace of his sister.

When he saw his sister lying safely beside him, he was relieved.

Seeing the boy wake up, Tomioka Giyu, who had closed his eyes and meditated, suddenly said: "Go visit the old man named Urokodaki Sakonji who lives in the Sagiri Mountain Range. Tell him that Tomioka Giyu asked you to come."

"There is no sunshine now, it should be no problem, but don't take your sister to the sun."

After saying that, after looking at Mika and the boy and girl, Tomioka Giyu disappeared on the spot.

Unlike the boy who looked puzzled, Mika, who got permission from Tomioka Giyu's words, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

In this way, he will be able to get in touch with breathing methods and swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Mika, who was full of joy, walked up to the doubtful boy and helped him up.

"How is it, are you okay?"

"You are the one who shot the arrow to save Nezuko just now."

Because of the position, the scene of Mika shooting the arrow to save Nezuko before was naturally seen by the boy, so the boy was full of gratitude to Mika.

"At that time, I thought the other party was that kind of evil and cold-blooded samurai, so I rushed up on impulse. By the way, my name is Mika, what about you?"

"My name is Tanjiro Kamado, and that is my sister, Nezuko Kamado."

It's him!

Mika said in his heart.

Who would have thought that this ordinary charcoal boy in front of him would become the strongest swordsman who killed the demon king Muzan in the future.

Recalling the gentle character of Tanjiro Kamado in the anime, Mika's eyes were also full of gentleness.

After all, who wouldn't like to make friends with such a person?

"Nezuko! She has become a demon."

"Yeah!"

Tanjiro Kamado's face visibly drooped, and it was obvious that this incident had dealt a heavy blow to him.

But he soon cheered up, and recalling the previous exchange with Tomioka Giyuu, Tanjiro Kamado said firmly: "I will take Nezuko to find the evil spirits, and find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human."

"In that case, we must go to Sagiri Mountain!"

Looking at the gloomy sky, Mika said faintly.

After that, Mika introduced Tanjiro Kamado to some relevant matters about the Demon Slayer Corps, and made him understand the purpose of going to Sagiri Mountain.

That is, to become a disciple and learn skills.

The reason why the members of the Demon Slayer Corps in this world can fight against the evil spirits is because of breathing and swordsmanship.

Breathing can develop their physical potential and gradually approach the limit of their physical functions.

And the swordsmanship can enable them to obtain fighting means to defeat the evil spirits even when facing the evil spirits with blood demon arts.

These two are the core of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Therefore, only after completing the training of breathing and swordsmanship, and then passing the selection of the Demon Slayer Corps, can one become a qualified member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The teacher who teaches the novice breathing and swordsmanship is called a trainer in the Demon Slayer Corps.

These people are veteran members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and they work hard in various places to cultivate new seeds.

And Urokodaki Sakonji, who lives in the narrow mist mountain and was instructed by Tomioka Giyuu before, is the former water pillar who once cultivated Tomioka Giyuu.

It is also the place where Mika is going to learn breathing and swordsmanship.

"That's it."

Carrying the food and luggage prepared with Kamado Tanjiro on his back, looking at Tanjiro who is also carrying a box with his sister on his back, Mika gently asked: "Do you want to see it again?"

Tanjiro Kamado shook his head.

"I have seen it many times in the past few days. What I need to do now is to find a way for Nezuko to recover as a human being and then raise her."

As he responded, Tanjiro Kamado's eyes became more determined.

"Next time we come back, Nezuko and I will definitely come back walking in the sunshine."

"You will definitely succeed."

Infected by Tanjiro Kamado's will, Mika said seriously.
