Chapter 145
Inosuke was running around in the river, holding a big silver fish in his hand.
Fuzugawa Genya was watching over the bonfire, while Tanjiro was preparing the seasoning for grilling fish.
"Tanjiro, why do you bring seasoning with you?" Fuzugawa Genya asked as he fiddled with the burning wood.
Tanjiro laughed and replied, "Brother Battle Rabbit said the fish in the mountains are delicious!"
"Because there are so many people, I have the opportunity to cook well!"
"Thank you so much!"
Fuzugawa Genya turned his head away proudly, muttering softly, "Who...who needs you to thank!"
At this time, Kanao came over with a bunch of branches, and after throwing the firewood to Tanjiro, she sat next to him.
"Thank you, Kanao!"
Kanaao stared at the bonfire blankly, and ignored Tanjiro.
Inosuke jumped out of the water like a fierce pig in front of everyone, and then he shook off the water on his headgear as if no one was around.
"What are you doing, you dead pig head!"
Xuan Mi was so angry that he was about to spit fire. This guy really has no common sense at all.
The live fish stuck on Inosuke's double swords were still struggling hard. Tanjiro looked at the five fat big fish and smiled from ear to ear.
Sure enough, the task of catching fish was perfect for Inosuke.
"Inosuke, you are great!" Tanjiro praised.
Inosuke was also praised. He put his hands on his waist and his neck was about to touch his back.
"Of course, don't you see how strong I am!"
"Besides, as the boss, I will do my best to do what you asked me to do!"
Tanjiro took the fish to the river to deal with it, and the other four people roasted the fire leisurely.
Cruel, bloody, terrifying, dirty, this is what the final selection looks like.
But the five of them had a completely picnic atmosphere.
Around the campfire, by the river, grilling big fish.
Those who knew were the final selection, but those who didn't thought that these five were having a picnic.
"Hey, come and help, Huangmao!"
"How long have you been lying there, and you're not injured!"
Fuzugawa Xuanya was furious when he saw Zenitsu's lazy look. If such a guy could learn the breathing method, why couldn't he?
And that guy was obviously very strong, why did he cry all day long.
Agatsuma Zenitsu's sword really made the other four dumbfounded. They always thought he was weak, but they never expected that guy could kill the evil ghost instantly.
Zenitsu raised his head slightly and glanced at Xuanya, then began to howl in pain: "Ah! My legs are about to break!"
"It's all your fault. Why did you rush into the den of ghosts!"
"I'm a wounded soldier. Don't you know how to take care of the wounded?"
Fuzugawa Xuanya's mouth twitched constantly, thinking that this guy really didn't care about his face, and he wanted to beat him up.
"Okay, stop arguing, let Zenitsu rest!"
"He has worked hard to participate in the selection!"
Tanjiro's gentle voice sounded, as warm as the bonfire on the shore.
Fuzugawa Xuanya curled his lips and glared at Agatsuma Zenitsu: "Just spoil him, Tanjiro!"
Tanjiro handed the processed fish to Fuzugawa Xuanya and explained: "No, Zenitsu also killed demons!"
Zenitsu looked like a bully, sat up and pointed at Xuanya and complained: "Yes, yes, I also killed demons, okay!"
"Do you want to try my thunder breath!"
"I'm super strong, okay!"
Although Zenitsu himself had no impression of this incident, it did not affect his bragging at all.
Fuzugawa Xuanya's face turned black and he stood up immediately.
His clenched fists creaked, as if he would not be named Fuzugawa if he didn't beat you down.
"Ah! I'm going to kill someone!"
Zenitsu hid behind Tanjiro at lightning speed.
Fuzugawa Xuanya sighed, and it was better to forget about beating such a person who gave him the feeling of bullying.
After a while, the grilled fish began to sizzle with oil, and the fragrant smell of meat aroused everyone's greed.
Inosuke had already begun to reach into the fire, but fortunately Tanjiro stopped him in time.
"Inosuke, it's very hot, okay? It's too dangerous!" Tanjiro was almost angry to death.
The fish was grilled on both sides and was golden and fragrant.
Tanjiro handed the fish to everyone.
Inosuke performed on the spot what it meant to eat half a fish in one bite, and he was not afraid of the heat.
Except for Tanjiro, the other three boys were feasting on the fish. Kanao stared at the grilled fish eagerly, and kept making small chewing sounds in her mouth.
When she was a child, she would only make such movements when she wanted to eat something very much, but she didn't dare to eat it.
"Kanao, eat it quickly!"
"It's delicious!" Tanjiro is still very confident in his cooking skills.
Kanao silently took out the coin, and Tanjiro quickly snatched it.
After all, it's not okay for Kanao to be like this all the time. How can such an important matter as eating be solved by flipping a coin!
"Kanao, the inner strength of a person is very strong!"
"Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps is walking firmly because they follow the call of their hearts!"
"No matter what happened in the past, don't care. You are great and don't need to rely on coins to express anything!"
"Kanao is Kanao, and you don't need to be driven forward!"
"So, please listen to the voice of your heart!"
Under the quiet night sky, the boy's eyes were like stars in the sky, twinkling.
The girl was still immersed in the anxiety of the coin being snatched. What should she do without the coin?
Tanjiro threw the coin high up, and he said loudly and firmly: "Kanao, if it's heads, we will throw the coin away!"
Kanao stretched out her hand and wanted to say something but couldn't.
The fragmented moonlight shone on the coin, and the silver light traces were reflected in the eyes of Kanao and Tanjiro at the same time.
With a snap, the coin fell into Tanjiro's hand, and he handed it to Kanao.
The coin was facing up, and Tanjiro laughed.
"It's the front side, so from today, Kanao, you can say what you like and do what you like!"
While speaking, Tanjiro handed the grilled fish to Kanao and asked with a smile: "Do you want to eat?"
Kanao lowered her head, and the atmosphere between the two became particularly silent.
The sound of running water was accompanied by the rustling sound of the wind blowing the grass.
Finally, the girl raised her head, her face flushed, and her voice was very small: "I want...I want to eat!"
"Hahaha!"
"Here you go, thank you for breaking through yourself!"
Tanjiro handed the grilled fish to Kanao and put the coin away.
"Kanaho, your coins belong to me, and my grilled fish belongs to you!"
"Hmmmm!" Kanao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, picked up the grilled fish and took a bite.
She bit the grilled fish bite by bite, her cheeks bulging like a little hamster.
Tanjiro twitched his nose and screamed: "It's over, my fish is burnt!"
