"That guy might not be very bright, but he isn't stupid enough to do that." Kanzaki Kumo shook his head.
"What I know about the Transparent World and how to reach that realm came from a special family I rescued earlier-the Kamado Family. It was also because I took that family away that Upper Rank Three pursued me."
"An ancestor of that family once met Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the founder of the First Breathing Style who was expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps. They also passed down the First Breathing Style, otherwise known as Sun Breathing."
"Although their ancestor lacked the talent to learn a Breathing Style, he memorized the sword movements. Over centuries of being passed down, they gradually evolved into the Dance of the Fire God, performed in worship of the fire god."
"Errors and omissions naturally crept in over those centuries, but this generation of the Kamado Family produced a genius, Tanjuro Kamado. Without anyone to guide him, he corrected the mistakes in those movements and, in the process, grasped the Transparent World. He also worked backward from the movements to derive the accompanying Breathing Style, recreating Sun Breathing."
"It was precisely because of Sun Breathing that the Demon King set his sights on the Kamado Family and sent Upper Rank Three to hunt them down when I relocated them."
"And I learned how to reach the Transparent World from Tanjuro Kamado himself."
Everyone still had plenty of questions, such as how Kanzaki Kumo had determined that it was Sun Breathing, how he had met the Kamado Family, and why the Demon King had not silenced the family beforehand.
But seeing that Kanzaki Kumo had no intention of stopping, they listened patiently for now. Whatever the case, a way to improve their strength mattered most.
