Masachika Kumeno and the Future Hashira in a Chaotic Melee (Two Chapters in One)

Suddenly, a faint smell of blood filled the air.

As the smell of blood grew stronger, the evil spirits began to react.

He roared loudly, his head pointing towards Sanemi Shinazugawa, his face filled with longing and excitement.

A trickle of saliva dripped from his mouth as he uttered words like "Rare Blood" and "give it to me."

But as time went on, the ghost's reaction became weaker and weaker.

His eyelids seemed to have lost their strength and slowly drooped down.

Finally, the demon closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"Okay, apply the herbs to the wound; they can help stop the bleeding and promote healing."

Nodding, Sanemi quickly applied the herbs to the wound.

With a gentle swipe of his knife, the Scribe severed the ghost's head.

Only after watching the evil spirit's body gradually turn to ashes did the two brothers feel relieved.

Although they were still in shock, they no longer had to worry about their lives being threatened.

"The creature we just saw was called a ghost."

As he approached the two, the Scribe spoke softly.

"I showed this to you to tell you that the world is not as you imagine it to be."

Then, the Scribe told them about ghosts.

After hearing the Scribe's explanation, the brothers' doubts lessened somewhat.

Suddenly, Sanemi spoke.

"Mister Scribe, why did you make me cut myself just now?"

"This is a problem with your individual constitution; it's a constitution called Rare Blood."

He told Sanemi about the Rare Blood, and the Scribe explained to him that it was the highest grade of Rare Blood.

He is also Rare Blood holder, but the effect is different from that of Sanemi Shinazugawa.

If we were to give Sanemi's Rare Blood a name, we could describe it as "Drunken Blood".

Nodding, Sanemi showed a look of sudden realization.

"I understand, Mister Scribe, you were attracted to me by the Rare Blood, right?"

Upon hearing Sanemi's words, the Scribe fell silent.

His facial muscles twitched slightly, and he made a strange expression.

If he hadn't known that there were no JoJos in this world, he probably would have thought that Sanemi had been poisoned.

These aren't Stand users, so how could they be attracted to each other?

But seeing the expression on Sanemi's face, the Scribe didn't bother to explain.

Scribe waved his hand and sighed.

"Just think of it this way for now."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Genya Shinazugawa.

"Genya Shinazugawa, you and your brother have a unique talent."

He stretched out his right hand in front of him and then opened it.

In his palm was a small tuft of hair.

"This is the ghost's hair; you can try eating it."

Covering his mouth, Genya Shinazugawa felt a little nauseous.

But after seeing the Scribe's expression, he still mustered up his courage.

"I know, Mister Scribe, I'll eat it!"

Genya Shinazugawa picked up a small tuft of hair and then tossed it into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, I swallowed it with difficulty.

"How do you feel?"

Sanemi looked at his younger brother with excitement and curiosity.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Genya Shinazugawa's eyes turn bloodshot.

Its teeth became sharper, and its body seemed to have swelled up a bit.

With a low growl, Genya Shinazugawa lunged at Sanemi.

In a flash, the Scribe appeared behind Genya Shinazugawa.

His hand transformed into a knife shape and suddenly "slashed" at Genya Shinazugawa's back.

The immense power erupted, Genya Shinazugawa immediately fainted.

"This is the power of Genya Shinazugawa; you can call it the Demon Eater."

Those who are addicted to ghosts possess a special ability to gain power by devouring the bodies of ghosts.

They possess excellent bite force and digestive organs; the stronger the demon they devour, the greater the regenerative ability and power they gain from it.

If the demon that is consumed possesses Blood Demon Art, it may also inherit those Blood Demon Art.

It was precisely because of his ability to devour demons that Genya Shinazugawa was unable to use his breathing skills, and even his physical abilities in his normal state were quite weak.

After hearing the Scribe's explanation, Sanemi was quite amazed.

What happened tonight was truly shocking to him, whether it was the ghost the Scribe had mentioned or the Breathing Technique.

Whether it was his own Rare Blood or his younger brother's ability to devour demons, both were beyond his comprehension.

"This is your talent, a gift that is naturally imprinted in your bodies."

Patting Sanemi on the shoulder, Scribe squatted down and carried the unconscious Genya Shinazugawa on his back.

"I don't want to force you to do anything. Tonight is just an experiment to let you know your specialness."

As the Scribe gradually disappeared into the distance, Sanemi stood frozen in place.

He was a smart man; he knew he had two paths before him.

One option is to forget everything that happened tonight, go home with my brother, and live a normal life.

The other way is to remember everything that happened tonight, pick up the blade, and wield it against the evil spirits.

For a moment, Sanemi didn't know what to do.

Chapter 137: Kuronose Chikan and the Future Pillar-Level Warriors in a Grand Melee (Part 2)

Shaking his head, Sanemi finally made his own decision.

Ghost hunting!

However, he did not intend for Genya Shinazugawa to follow in his footsteps and embark on the path of demon hunting.

He intends to bear all of this alone so that his younger siblings can live ordinary lives.

Seeing them live happily, get married and have children would be Sanemi Shinazugawa's greatest happiness.

Thinking of this, Sanemi quickly followed the Scribe.

Upon hearing Sanemi's request, the Scribe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Did you make the same choice as before?"

In the original storyline, Sanemi killed his demonized mother and then chose to bear the consequences alone so that Genya Shinazugawa could live.

And now, he has made the same choice.

"Genya Shinazugawa will not agree to you doing this."

The Scribe suddenly spoke, then shook the Genya Shinazugawa on his back.

"Now that you're awake, why don't you talk to your brother yourself?"

It was only then that Sanemi noticed that Genya Shinazugawa had woken up sometime earlier.

"Brother~"

As Genya Shinazugawa jumped off the Scribe's back, a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Didn't we say that we would protect our family together?"

Genya Shinazugawa grabbed Sanemi's shoulder and shook him violently, his face showing great agitation.

"Then why do you have to bear all of this alone?"

"I..."

Sanemi wanted to explain something, but couldn't put it into words.

"You two, calm down."

With both hands outstretched, Scribe patted the two of them on the head.

"It's not like we're asking you to make a life-or-death decision right now, why are you getting so worked up?"

With a helpless smile on his face, the Scribe said.

"After you get back, you two brothers should discuss it carefully and make a decision."

Upon hearing the Scribe's words, the Sanemi and Genya Shinazugawa realized that they had indeed been too excited.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, and smiles returned to their faces.

After sending the Sanemi and Genya Shinazugawa home, Scribe also returned to the inn to rest.

He met the two brothers early the next morning.

They decided to join the Demon Slayer Corps, as the Scribe had mentioned.

Because of his young age, Genya Shinazugawa cannot join the team now and can only wait until he reaches the appropriate age in a few years before making further plans.

Therefore, only Sanemi will leave with the Scribe now.

The two brothers also gave the same story, claiming to the outside world that Sanemi had gone out to work for a wealthy boss.

To give their well-intentioned lie a perfect ending, the Scribe even went out and bought a high-end outfit.

When he visited the Shinazugawa family, he left a large sum of money, saying that it was an advance payment of wealth to Sanemi.

As for whether their bastard father will bother them again, it seems unlikely.

Just yesterday, they received news that the man had been assassinated.

The family didn't say anything special about the news.

Perhaps this is actually good news for them.

With his luggage Sanemi, Scribe and Shiki left Kyobashi Ward together.

"Mister Scribe, where are we going now?"

"Of course I'm going to join the Demon Slayer Corps."

On their way to the Demon Slayer Corps, Scribe and Sanemi encountered three demons.

Without exception, they were all beheaded by the Scribe.

During this process, he did not allow Sanemi to take action.

It wasn't that the Scribe didn't believe in Sanemi's determination to Demon Slayer, but rather that he knew what Sanemi would do if left to his own devices.

Can you imagine someone holding a kitchen knife and scissors, chasing after a ghost while simultaneously cutting themselves with all sorts of wounds?

If the Scribe doesn't teach him the correct fighting methods, Sanemi might end up like him.

Finally, the two Scribe arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Demon Slayer Corps was located.

"So this is the Demon Slayer Corps."

Seeing the swordsmen coming and going in front of him, Sanemi exclaimed in surprise.
