Fou vs. Agatsuma Zenitsu / Passing Each Other By

Yuxian walked over to the children and didn't let Jack do anything more.

He gently raised his right hand and slowly drew a rune in front of him, Rune Magic.

At the same time, a mark with the exact same shape as the rune in front of him appeared on the body of the Handball Demon.

"Tanjiro, let's do it."

Yuxian has already used Rune Magic to temporarily restrain the Handball Demon, rendering her unable to move. Next, it's Tanjiro's turn to work.

For so long, he has never given up learning Rune Magic. With his master by his side, even if he Yuxian pretends, he still makes time to learn every day to show that he is very dedicated.

Practice makes perfect, and over time, his application of Rune Magic naturally improved significantly.

Water Breathing - First Form: Water Surface Slash!

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro Kamado immediately swung his Nichirin Blade and swiftly slashed at the Handball Demon.

Pfft!

The Handball Demon was beheaded by Tanjiro without any resistance, so easily that Tanjiro felt it was somewhat unreal.

"Let's go back."

After the battle ended, Yuxian bid farewell to Tamayo and Tanjiro and prepared to leave.

The children also said goodbye to Nezuko.

"Nezuko, we'll come see you again tomorrow. Now we need to go back to sleep. It's not good for children not to sleep at night."

"Yes, we'll bring you a gift tomorrow. I'm sure you'll love it."

They waved to Nezuko and followed Yuxian away.

After watching Yuxian and his group leave, Tanjiro and Tamayo began to clean up the mess. This place was no longer suitable as a base, and they needed to prepare to move on.

"Muzan Kibutsuji, you have more and more enemies..."

After saying something quietly, Tamayo turned and went into the basement.

Chapter 324, Section 11: Fou Zenitsu Agatsuma

"South South East! South South East!"

Tanjiro's crow messenger kept cawing hoarsely above his head.

"It sounds awful and is so noisy!"

The children, annoyed by the crow's cawing, tried to drive it away.

At the children's request, Yuxian and his group embarked on a journey with Tanjiro and his sister.

They wanted to spend more time with Nezuko, Yuxian naturally agreed.

Nezuko, dressed in a gray-black cloak, looked very happy among the children.

This time, she no longer had to hide in the bamboo basket behind Tanjiro, which was a rather cramped and uncomfortable place.

Being able to walk outside during the day, Nezuko kept turning her head to admire the scenery around her, an experience she hadn't had in a long time.

She loved the gift the children gave her; it was the happiest moment of her life in a long time.

Thank you.

Tanjiro was genuinely happy to see Nezuko so cheerful and sincerely thanked Yuxian.

"It's alright. Nezuko so cute, all the children love her. They found this cloak for me, it has nothing to do with me."

Yuxian was speechless at the children's actions. Just how many good things were they hiding?

It even has a cloak blessed by the Moon Goddess, so it seems like it has quite a few hidden treasures.

However, upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that these children are the dominant force in Chaldea, and it's quite common for them to possess several treasures.

The group walked slowly along the country lanes, as if they were on a picnic.

The crow messenger's directions happened to align with their path, indicating that there were demons ahead that Tanjiro needed to deal with.

With Yuxian Xian and his companions going along, Tanjiro felt much more at ease, having personally witnessed the prowess of these people.

"Waaaaah! Please, please marry me!"

In the middle of the road ahead, a boy in an orange shirt was clinging to a girl's leg, crying and pleading.

My Zenitsu Agatsuma.

He cried and screamed, drawing the attention of passersby, making the scene look quite comical.

A little sparrow flew into Tanjiro's palm.

"Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!"

It kept flapping its wings, eagerly trying to tell Tanjiro something.

"I understand, leave it to me!"

Tanjiro nodded, his expression serious, and the little sparrow immediately felt relieved.

After learning about the situation from the sparrow, Tanjiro immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zenitsu Agatsuma, and loudly reprimanded him.

"What are you doing in the middle of the road! That child didn't want to be there!"

"Also, don't let the sparrows bother you!"

Tanjiro's tone was very stern, Zenitsu Agatsuma recognized him Demon Slayer Corps he had met during the selection process.

"We've met you before; you were in the final selection..."

"I don't know anyone like you, I don't know you at all!"

Tanjiro immediately interrupted him, with an attitude of being ashamed to be associated with him, which hurt Zenitsu Agatsuma deeply.

Tanjiro ignored Zenitsu Agatsuma and said gently to the girl, "It's alright, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

The girl immediately thanked Tanjiro, finally relieved to be rid of that annoying guy's harassment.

When Zenitsu Agatsuma saw this, he tried to go up again, but Zenitsu shouted, "She wants to marry me, don't get in my way!"

The girl, who was usually very good-tempered, was completely enraged and gave Zenitsu Agatsuma a good beating.

"Who likes you! Who wants to marry you! They just wanted to talk to you because you were squatting on the ground! Don't flatter yourself!"

Clap clap clap clap!

He only felt relieved after hitting her until her hands started to hurt.

"Goodbye!"

After uttering those two words, the girl turned around and left without looking back.

Zenitsu Agatsuma only then realized what was happening and turned to look at Tanjiro and Yuxian's group.

Everyone was looking at him with great disdain.

The look of disgust on his face seemed to overflow.

"What kind of look is that! Don't look at me like that!!!" Zenitsu Agatsuma protested loudly.

"I'm so weak, I don't know when I'll die. If I don't get married soon, I won't have another chance!"

"How could you guys, surrounded by so many pretty girls, possibly understand my difficulties!"

As they were talking, Zenitsu Agatsuma seemed to realize something. He immediately stood up and walked towards Mash.

Before he could even get close, Fou on Mash's shoulder delivered a flying kick to his face.

"Fu! Fu—!"

Fou raised her head to assert her dominance, refusing to even try to get close to Mash.

Zenitsu Agatsuma was kicked to the ground by Fou, and then changed direction and crawled towards Abby.

Abby was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, a look of terror on his face.

"Fou! Fou!"

Fou kicked him again, knocking him down once more.

Zenitsu Agatsuma didn't want to give up, but Fou kept kicking him back, nipping his hopes in the bud.

"Why are you getting in my way? You're so small, yet you're hogging so many girls. You're too greedy!"

Zenitsu Agatsuma began to cry, deeply saddened.

He couldn't win a fight, and he felt that he was too weak. Now even a small dog could bully him.

The children remained silent, only looking at Zenitsu Agatsuma with disdain; it was the first time they had ever seen someone so shameless.

In the end, it was Tanjiro who stepped in, picked Zenitsu Agatsuma up from the ground, and gave him a good scolding before he finally calmed down a bit.

Zenitsu Agatsuma clung to Tanjiro's leg, pleading, "Tanjiro, you must protect me. I don't want to be eaten by demons. I'm still young, I want to get married, I don't want to die."

Tanjiro had no choice but to keep him by his side, since he couldn't just abandon him.

And so Zenitsu Agatsuma joined the group.

However, he was quite a distance away from everyone else and did not walk with Yuxian and his group.

It wasn't that he didn't want to get closer, it was just that whenever he had the thought of getting closer, Fou would glare at him, which scared him.

Fortunately, Tanjiro is a gentle and kind person, and when he walks with him, Tanjiro can only follow him Zenitsu Agatsuma.

Little Jeanne asked Tanjiro earnestly, "Are all the Demon Slayer Corps members like this?"

Tanjiro was immediately embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Little Jeanne's question.

He hadn't expected that Zenitsu Agatsuma, whom he met during the final selection, would be such a person; it was somewhat beyond his comprehension.

Those who pass the selection must possess extremely strong abilities, at least comparable to his.

Unexpectedly, Zenitsu Agatsuma was such a coward, acting as if he had seen a ghost when he saw Fou. How could someone like that become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?

That's just an ordinary little dog, but you're a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps!

Tanjiro sighed deeply.

Chapter 12, Section 325: Passing By

Led by the crow, the group arrived at a samurai's residence deep in the mountains.

Contrary to expectations, the place was now a scene of ruins, as if a great battle had just taken place.

Tanjiro Kamado sniffed, using his keen sense of smell to search around.

"There's no ghostly aura here; it's very clean."

He eventually came to this conclusion.

Tanjiro was very confident in his nose, which made him a little puzzled as to why the crow had brought them here, since there were no demons here.

"You stinking crow, you've lied to us!"

The children were very unhappy; they had traveled so far only to end up in such a place.

They were itching to grab the wretched crow.

The crow quickly flew up and circled in the sky, also not understanding what was happening.

It had learned that there was a ghost here before, which is why it came to Tanjiro to do a mission here. It never expected that this place would be destroyed now.

But it's best to stay away for now; its intuition tells it that these kids are not to be trifled with.

Zenitsu Agatsuma had been living in constant fear, became bolder after hearing that there were no ghosts here.

He walked into the ruins of the destroyed samurai mansion and began to examine it slowly.
