Hunting Down Tanjiro / Inosuke, I'm Going to Kill You!
As night fell, Tanjiro, who had worked hard all day, quickly drifted off to sleep.
As time went on, his breathing began to become uneven.
At first, I could still feel that I was exercising my breathing, but the next second it changed.
"Snort snore snore"
At the same time the snoring started, Scribe slapped him on the forehead, waking him up.
Your breathing is disordered.
"Yes!"
Struggling to his feet, Tanjiro quickly realized what the Scribe had said.
"Please try again."
He fell asleep again, and this time Tanjiro resolved in his heart to persevere.
Ten minutes later, he was woken up again by a loud slap.
The nighttime training continued for ten days, until Tanjiro could blow up the giant gourd.
As for Nezuko, although her progress was a bit slower than Tanjiro's, she also completed the training.
While Tanjiro and Nezuko were training, Inosuke Zenitsu were having a lot of fun.
On the back of the mountain, Inosuke was riding on the back of a deer, shouting that he was the king of beasts.
In the alley, Zenitsu was holding two freshly baked steamed buns, his face full of a satisfied expression after eating his fill.
Upon hearing that Tanjiro had completed all his training, the two of them simultaneously widened their eyes.
Tanjiro has already ended after only a few days.
"This skill is quite basic, you could even say it's beginner level."
The Scribe called the two men to his side and spoke to them.
"As long as practitioners practice diligently and put in enough effort, they can all achieve it."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to Inosuke.
He patted Inosuke gently on the shoulder and looked at him with a pitiful gaze.
"But I understand. If you really can't do it, then Inosuke it."
With a hint of regret, the Scribe shook his head, as if he had learned of something sad.
As for Zenitsu, the Scribe used a different method.
Spurred on by him, the two men were equally inspired to fight.
After spending some time, I finally completed the training in Total Concentration Breathing.
On this day, the Scribe gave them a rare day off.
"You don't need to exercise today, just get some rest."
Scribe took a sip of tea, his face beaming with smiles.
"After all, your Nichirin Blade have arrived."
Chapter 295 Chasing Tanjiro
"The new Nichirin Blade is finished?!"
Upon hearing this news, Tanjiro couldn't wait to share it with Inosuke.
"Really?"
Overjoyed, Inosuke, who was upside down, immediately somersaulted and stood up straight.
"Oh my god, I can't wait any longer."
The two were overjoyed and ran straight outside.
At the entrance, Tanjiro and Inosuke encountered the Scribe who was already standing there.
The Scribe picked up something that looked like a shield from his side and handed it to Tanjiro.
"Here you go, you'll need it later."
"?"
Tanjiro frowned as he looked at the shield in his hand.
A shield? What would I use that for? I'm not going to fight.
Could this be a new exercise method?
Filled with endless questions, Tanjiro took his shield and stood on the road.
Soon, two figures appeared at the other end of the road.
"They're here."
Squinting, Tanjiro made out one of them.
It was his swordsmith, Haganezuka Hotaru.
"Mr. Haganezuka."
With a shout, Tanjiro then waved to Haganezuka.
"You've arrived! You must be tired. How have you been feeling lately?"
As he shouted towards Haganezuka on the other side of the road also noticed Tanjiro.
He said a few words to his companion, then handed the Nichirin Blade to him.
Immediately afterwards, he pulled a kitchen knife from his waist.
He took a step forward and charged straight at Tanjiro.
At first, Tanjiro watched as Haganezuka ran towards him with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Haganezuka, slow down! There's no need to rush. I won't run away..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the sharp dagger in Haganezuka's hand.
"You brat, how dare you break the knife I've worked so hard to hone!"
With a loud shout, Hidetoshika brandished his Haganezuka knife and slashed at Tanjiro like a madman.
At that moment, Tanjiro realized why the Scribe had given him that shield.
"Sorry!"
With a shout, Tanjiro instinctively raised his shield and blocked Haganezuka's attack.
"I almost lost my life at the time, and the enemy's strength was beyond my expectations."
"So what!"
Completely ignoring Tanjiro's excuses, Haganezuka swung his sword down, slamming it deep into the shield.
"In short, it's all your fault. You're too weak."
Thirty-seven-year-old Haganezuka acted like a child, constantly muttering about Tanjiro's mistakes.
If you were strong enough, my sword wouldn't have broken. It's Nichirin Blade that I forged myself, so there's absolutely no problem with its quality.
Faced with the furious Haganezuka, Tanjiro could only run around with his shield.
The chase lasted for an hour, until Haganezuka was too exhausted to continue and he finally stopped.
Even after being assured that he wouldn't use a knife to attack people, Tanjiro still approached him with some fear.
It's all your fault, it's all your fault.
He poked Tanjiro's face with his finger, his voice behind the Haganezuka Mask sounding extremely angry.
Even though Tanjiro repeatedly assured him that he wouldn't break the Nichirin Blade, Haganezuka's tone remained unforgiving.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you're the one who broke the Nichirin Blade."
Standing behind Tanjiro, Haganezuka muttered to himself.
"Haganezuka, I can understand your feelings. After all, you are a passionate person, and your feelings for swords are quite deep."
Tetsuana Mori, who had come with Haganezuka, tried to smooth things over and explained.
"Excuse me, I am Tetsuana Mori."
Tetsuana Mori?
Upon hearing this name, the Scribe instinctively looked at Inosuke.
Chapter 296 Inosuke, I'm Going to Kill You
At this moment, Inosuke had not yet reacted, only noticing the Scribe's gaze.
"Mister Scribe, is there something on my face?"
"No."
Shaking his head, the Scribe said with a smile.
"However, I think you should do what Tanjiro did and find something to defend yourself."
"I don't want that thing. Only the weak need that thing."
He shook his head, a look of disgust on his face.
Finally, with the Scribe's encouragement, Haganezuka was able to sit down and talk to Tanjiro face to face.
"Then, please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Tetsuana Mori, and I am the one who forged the Nichirin Blade for Inosuke."
He nodded slightly, Tetsuana Mori tone somewhat respectful.
"If I can help him in the upcoming battle, that would be my greatest honor."
After saying that, he handed the Nichirin Blade he had brought to Inosuke.
After receiving the Nichirin Blade, things quickly changed.
The moment I touched it, a beautiful bluish-gray blade light emanated from it.
Tetsuana Mori, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh and said with some excitement.
The elegant colors and the swords complement each other beautifully.
Tanjiro genuinely admired his companion and spoke after observing for a while.
"That's great. Inosuke, your old sword was worn out. It's good that we have a new one to replace it."
"It feels pretty good, but something's missing."
Nodding, Inosuke remained silent and began studying the object.
Upon seeing this, Tetsuana Mori said with some concern.
Is it because the feel of the swords isn't right? Actually, this is the first time I've ever crafted dual swords, so it might not be very smooth to handle.
Just as Tetsuana Mori was speaking, Inosuke stood up, took his twin swords, and walked out.
Seeing this, the Scribe quickly nudged Tanjiro beside him.
"What's wrong, Mister Scribe?"
"Get ready, we'll rush out and stop Tetsuana Mori in a moment."
"Stop Mr. Tetsuana Mori?"
Tanjiro nodded, somewhat puzzled.
In his view, Tetsuana Mori was undoubtedly a very polite elder.
Both their tone of voice and their actions left a very good impression on me.
If that's the case, why did the Mister Scribe still ask him to...?
Just as Tanjiro was wondering what was going on, Inosuke had already gone outside.
