After the new Breathing Technique is over, the real main event will begin.
"Kyojuro, you have not let us down and have truly proven yourself."
With a slight smile, Yaozai looked into Kyojuro's eyes and said.
"Could you take over Shinjuro's position and become the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, so that you can continue to support the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Slightly taken aback, Kyojuro hadn't expected such a procedure today. He had thought that he had been called here simply to be praised for slaying one of the Twelve Kizuki.
I never imagined that today would be the day I was promoted to Flame Pillar.
Her father was in his prime, powerful, and had plenty of experience in Demon Slayer.
If that's the case, why hand it over to me?
He looked at his mother, and then at his father.
"What are you still hesitating for? Agree!"
The Scribe suddenly spoke up, saying in a somewhat joking tone.
"Could it be that you, Kyojuro, have no interest in becoming the Flame Pillar?"
"Absolutely not!"
With a loud shout, Kyojuro then looked directly into Yaozai's eyes with a serious expression.
"My Master, I am willing to serve as the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps!"
After he finished speaking, the people around him immediately applauded.
Rengoku Shinjuro also stood up and walked up to him.
"Good child, without realizing it, you have grown so big."
Reaching out to stroke his son's face, Shinjuro, a tough man who had never shed a tear in his decades of demon hunting, now shed tears of emotion.
"Father."
Seeing his father cry in front of him for the first time, Kyojuro instinctively wanted to reach out and wipe away his tears.
Shinjuro shook his head and said softly.
"It's nothing, I'm just too happy."
This is his son, the eldest son of the Rengoku Family, Rengoku KyoJuro!
Turning around, Shinjuro walked to the shelf where the haori was placed and took it down.
Step by step, he slowly folded the haori.
Without hesitation, he dragged himself to Kyojuro's side.
"Today, in the name of the former Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, I entrust you, Rengoku KyoJuro, with the haori that represents the Flame Pillar Hashira!"
"Yes!"
Kyojuro solemnly accepted the haori and put it on.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Looking at the spirited and rooster-like Kyojuro before him, Shinjuro laughed heartily.
Before being a Demon Slayer, he was first and foremost a father.
Nothing makes you happier and prouder than seeing your child achieve something.
Upon seeing that Kyojuro had become the Flame Pillar, the Scribe walked to his side and said with a smile.
"Kyojuro, tonight we're going to drink until we drop!"
"Alright, let's drink until we drop!"
Kyojuro laughed heartily, indicating that he would definitely eat and drink to his heart's content that night. (Reading by Shokura)
While the Demon Slayer Corps celebrated the birth of yet another Pillar-level member, the demons were not so happy.
Muzan, in particular, had reached the height of his rage.
He never expected that just a few seemingly ordinary days ago, the Lower Rank Two, one of the Twelve Kizuki Rui, had severed its connection with him.
This situation may occur because Rui, like Tamayo before him, has broken free of his control.
But Muzan didn't believe in such a low-probability event; he was more convinced that Rui was killed by the Demon Slayer.
Is it the Demon Slayer Corps? Or the Scribe?
No matter the outcome, Muzan doesn't like it.
How many times has this happened in the past century?
The six Upper Rank demons are relatively stable and have not undergone any major changes.
However, the six Lower Rank demons have been rotated countless times.
The thought that this was done by the Scribe and the Demon Slayer Corps made Muzan's anger completely uncontrollable.
"The Scribe!!!"
Chapter 231 Finding a Master for the Kamado Siblings
After Kyojuro became the Flame Pillar, the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen became incredibly energetic and worked exceptionally hard.
Each of them was maintaining their Nichirin Blade, wishing that Kibutsuji Muzan would appear before them right now.
Meanwhile, the Scribe took advantage of this time to leave the Demon Slayer Corps for a while.
The place he went to was none other than Mt. Sagiri, Urokodaki Sakonji lived.
There, Kamado Tanjiro and Nezuko are receiving training from the former Water Hashira.
It took him a few days to get there.
Upon arriving at the foot of Mt. Sagiri, Scribe completely concealed his aura.
He knew very well that Tanjiro's nose was extremely sensitive.
This time, I didn't tell Urokodaki Sakonji; it was essentially a secret trip.
It's no fun if you get discovered before you even get close.
He first looked into the small house Scribe found that there was no one there.
In other words, they were also training in the mountains at this time.
With a slight smile, Scribe walked towards the depths of Mt. Sagiri.
Along the way, he saw many man-made traps.
"I really miss it."
Many of these traps are imitations of the ones he used when training Tomioka Giyu and Sabito.
Of course, this was after some minor adjustments.
People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized. Based on the physical abilities of the Kamado siblings, Urokodaki Sakonji also made corresponding changes.
"It's just ahead."
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the Scribe suddenly looked up and gazed at a certain place.
He clearly sensed that three humans were gathering together in that direction.
One of them was breathing rapidly, as if he was doing some strenuous exercise.
Slowing his pace slightly, the Scribe then quietly walked over.
Just as he expected, after passing through a few trees, a clearing appeared.
In the open space, Urokodaki Sakonji was using a wooden sword to train Tanjiro.
Under the shade of a tree not far away, Kamado Nezuko was resting.
"Hey!"
Struggling to his feet, Tanjiro gripped his wooden sword again and charged toward Urokodaki.
He reacted swiftly to Tanjiro's attack.
The wooden sword in his hand moved swiftly, like Kocho flitting among flowers, and he slashed out three times in succession.
Wrist, chest, knee.
With three loud "smacks," Tanjiro was knocked to the ground.
"Your breathing is disordered, Tanjiro. You must use your breathing properly when you attack."
Walking over to Tanjiro, Urokodaki Sakonji helped him up while pointing out his shortcomings.
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Urokodaki!"
Ignoring the pain in his body, Tanjiro said with a smile.
"I will learn from this experience, please continue."
Just then, the Scribe's voice suddenly rang out.
"I said, can I try training here?"
"Who?!"
Upon hearing the sudden voice, Urokodaki Sakonji turned around instantly and looked behind him.
When he realized it was the Scribe, his body relaxed.
Tanjiro was standing nearby, also noticed the Scribe and happily ran over.
"Mister Scribe, what brings you here?"
With a laugh, the Scribe patted Tanjiro's head and said.
"I happened to have some free time, so I thought I'd come and see how your training is going."
Because of the arrival of the Scribe, Urokodaki Sakonji Sajichi allowed Tanjiro to rest a little longer, which was rare for him.
Taking this opportunity, the Scribe told them about some recent developments in the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Has Kyojuro already become the Flame Pillar?"
Urokodaki Sakonji seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing the news.
The Scribe could also tell that there were other undertones mixed in with his words.
Even Rengoku Shinjuro is much younger than him, has already stepped down and given way to a more capable person; he himself is indeed getting old.
Tanjiro and Nezuko were overjoyed to hear that Kyojuro had become a Pillar.
"Kyojuro- san has become a Pillar? That's amazing!"
After that, the Scribe inquired about Tanjiro's training progress.
Although he never gave up practicing Breathing Technique, he hadn't mastered either Dance of the Fire God or Water Breathing.
He was fine during regular training, but during combat, his breathing would become disordered, rendering him unable to use his skills.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this news, Scribe stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
After an unknown amount of time, a light suddenly shone in his eyes.
"I do have two good candidates who might be able to help you."
A mysterious smile appeared on his face. He then wrote a letter and had Black Feather take it back to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
Several days later, the two figures arrived in the Mt. Sagiri.
"Sabito! Makomo! What brings you here?"
Urokodaki Sakonji was somewhat surprised to see his two disciples return to Mt. Sagiri.
"They are both masters of Water Breathing. I specifically called them back to teach Tanjiro and Nezuko."
As she spoke, the Scribe introduced them to Tanjiro.
"That girl is Makomo, now Ranked Corps Member and a user of Water Breathing."
