"Flame Breathing - First Form - Unknowing Fire!"
"Second Form: Ascending Blazing Flame!"
"Third Form: Qi Fiery Phenomena!"
On the plaza, Uchiha Meikyō continuously brandished his wakizashi, demonstrating the nine sword forms of Flame Breathing that Rengoku Kyojuro had just shown and explained to him.
Standing beside Rengoku Kyojuro, watching this scene together Uzui Tengen had an expression that said, "I knew it."
"Wow, you learned it so skillfully after just one look!"
Uzui Tengen smacked his lips, clicking his tongue in amazement.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw this outrageous performance again.
Kyōjurō was initially surprised, but quickly regained his usual smiling expression.
"It seems Father was right. I am indeed a person of mediocre talent. The young Meikyō was able to learn the Flame Breathing in such a short time, but it took me so long back then!"
Rengoku Kyojuro's face was beaming with joy.
His thinking was simple: wasn't it a good thing that his companions could learn Flame Breathing in such a short time? If it was a good thing, he should be happy.
Uzui Tengen looked at Rengoku Kyojuro with a speechless expression.
You call that mediocre talent?
His father was lazy and gave up, but he became the Flame Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps by relying on three manuals. He was born with a strong body and amazing strength.
This kind of talent is something that others can only envy.
But...
Uzui Tengen's gaze then turned to Meikyo, who had come over to ask Kyōjurō for Meikyō on the Constant Breathing Technique.
Compared to this guy, it seems that everyone's talent can only be considered mediocre.
Moreover, the personality of this new Flame Hashira seems to be the complete opposite of that of the Water Hashira Tomioka Giyuu.
They all have brain circuits that are quite different from normal people.
However, in terms of popularity, it's quite the opposite; he really likes it.
A few days later.
Butterfly Mansion.
After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Uchiha Meikyō moved here.
After hearing that Meikyō was born with the ability to use the "Other Shore Crimson Eyes" without any burden, Insect Hashira Kochō Shinobu became curious and wanted to examine him.
However, the current timeline is 1912. Although Kochō Shinobu is a highly skilled doctor, she is still using relatively traditional medical methods and has not been able to find anything.
"Moshi Moshi~"
Kochō Shinobu's gentle voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a soft knock.
"Hmm? Miss Shinobu? Wasn't it already checked yesterday?"
Meikyō Gate of Opening and looked curiously at the smiling Kochō Shinobu outside.
"It's Meikyō. Your Nichirin Blade has been forged. The forging was done by Master Tetsuana Mori, who is also a highly skilled master. Also, this is the team uniform that was sewn according to your requirements."
Kochō Shinobu gently handed the two pieces of clothing in her hands to Meikyō.
"Hurry up and change into it to see if it fits. Don't keep Master Tetsuana Mori waiting."
Meikyō took the two pieces of clothing, unfolded them one by one, and put them on.
The one inside is the most basic black-brown long coat of the Demon Slayer Corps. It has a big word "exterminate" written on the back. It is made of special fiber and has strong moisture-proof and flame-proof properties. It also has good defensive capabilities and can stop the claws of the ghost from tearing it apart to a certain extent.
While it may not be considered particularly fashionable, it looks much better than the ugly green vest that Konoha wore.
Besides this one, there is a haori woven according to Meikyō's requirements. The main colors are blue and black, which are Meikyō's usual colors. The Uchiha Clan Crest with a red and white Gunbai is embroidered on the back.
His growth to where he is today is inseparable from the support of the Uchiha Clan, so Meikyō also has a strong sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan.
"It looks really good. Let's go out quickly, don't keep Master Tetsuana Mori waiting too long."
Kochō Shinobu watched with interest as Uchiha Meikyō donned his robes, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised.
The Uchiha Clan is known for its good looks, and Uchiha Meikyō is no exception. Although he is young and not yet fully grown up, he doesn't lower the average appearance of the Uchiha clan even when standing next to handsome men like Dan Katō and Minato Namikaze.
However, Kochō Shinobu only appreciated the beautiful things briefly and did not have any extra thoughts about a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
Butterfly Mansion, in the tea room.
Tetsuana Kōzō wore a comical Hyottoko Mask and held a Nichirin Blade in his hand with a stiff expression, without touching the teacup on the table.
"Miss, has the swordsman named Meikyō arrived yet?"
Tetsuana Kōzō looked at the woman sitting blankly opposite him, who was serving customers for Kochō Shinobu Tsuyuri Kanao, and asked her a question.
Tsuyuri Kanao: (⊙⊙)
With a blank expression, Kanao silently took out a coin, tossed it into the air, and caught it.
Reverse side.
Kanao smiled and slowly shook her head at Tetsuana Kōzō.
She has never had her own thoughts because of her tragic childhood. She panics whenever she is asked about her own thoughts. It was her adoptive sister, the former Flower Hashira Kochō Kanae, who gave her this coin to make decisions for her.
Tetsuana Kōzō sighed helplessly.
Why are there so many strange people in the Swordsmith Village, and why is it still like this even after joining the Demon Slayer Corps?
"I'm so sorry, Master Tetsuana Mori, I'm late."
Wearing a blue-black haori, Meikyō strode to the position in front of Tetsuana Kōzō.
"It's not a problem."
Tetsuana Kōzō shook his head, his eyes peeking out from behind the Hyottoko Mask as he curiously examined Uchiha Meikyō.
He had heard that the boy in front of him had a similar background to the Sound Hashira Uzui Tengen, and had a high probability of becoming the next Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Let's see what color your Nichirin Blade turns first. For most swordsmen, the color of their blade determines their future development."
Kanemori held the Nichirin Blade in both hands and presented it to Meikyō.
With a "whoosh," Meikyō drew the slender blade from its sheath.
Gradually, the two colors spread across the Nichirin Blade.
The blade and the surrounding body were coated with a distinct bluish-gold color, a gold with a hue leaning more towards blue. The part of the blade closer to the spine turned crimson, blending with the gold body to create flame-like patterns, giving it a magnificent yet mysterious appearance.
"What beautiful colors! Nichirin Blade with such a mix of colors are rare even in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps. This combination of gold and red looks like a combination of the Sound Hashira and the Flame Hashira's Nichirin Blade!"
Tetsuana Kōzō looked at the blade of the Nichirin Blade in Meikyō's hand and couldn't help but admire it.
Like a combination of Uzui Tengen and Rengoku Kyojuro's Nichirin Blade...
