"In the end, Amane brought him back..."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki spoke slowly.
However, it seems the trauma was too severe, as he lost other memories.
All they remembered was that a ghost had attacked their house.
Then his brother was attacked by a ghost.
Later he forgot what happened.
I only remember when I came to my senses.
The ghost that attacked his house has been nailed to the ground with timber and farm tools.
Then he waited until the sun came out and the ghost was burned to death before he went home.
At this point, Kagaya Ubuyashiki sighed.
"However, ever since we brought this child back, even though his injuries haven't healed, he's been practicing swordplay on his own."
Therefore, I've been thinking about what kind of mentor to find for him.
Considering the child's exceptional talent.
He was able to kill demons on his own without any training.
Therefore, after considering all the trainers, I still feel that you are the most suitable!
Teiichi's gaze lingered on Muichiro, and he slowly nodded.
"Okay, I'll take care of this child from now on!"
"That puts my mind at ease. If I can get out of your clutches, I'm sure I'll become a pillar of our Demon Slayer Corps in the future!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki gave a relieved smile, then turned to look at Muichiro.
" Muichiro, this is your future master, the former Wind Hashira of our Demon Slayer Corps, and currently the strongest member, Kato Teiichi!"
"Master?"
Muichiro repeated, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Amane Ubuyashiki, standing nearby, explained, "She's the one who teaches you Breathing Style, swordsmanship, and the precautions to take when carrying out demon-slaying missions!"
Upon hearing that he would be taught Breathing Style and swordsmanship, Muichiro's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on Teiichi for the first time.
The two stared at each other silently for a moment, then Amane Ubuyashiki, standing beside Muichiro, offered a reminder.
" Muichiro, you must kneel and bow when you become an apprentice! This is a traditional etiquette to show respect and reverence."
Upon hearing Amane Ubuyashiki's words, Muichiro Tokito knelt down on the ground, his childish voice echoing in the room.
"Master!"
Teiichi led Muichiro Tokito slowly out of the wooden door of the tea room. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a soft golden glow on their figures.
Their pace was unhurried, as if they were enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
They hadn't gone far when they came into view of Kanae and Shinobu Kocho, who were quietly waiting in the courtyard.
They stood under a blooming cherry blossom tree, petals dancing lightly in the breeze, occasionally landing on their shoulders, adding a touch of gentle beauty.
Upon seeing Teiichi, Kanae couldn't help but smile gently. Then, her gaze fell on Muichiro behind Teiichi, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
"Is this the talented child that our Master spoke of?"
Teiichi nodded and introduced them to Kanae and Shinobu Kocho.
"Yes, this child's name is Muichiro Tokito."
Having said that, she pointed to Kanae and introduced her to Muichiro.
"This person is Kanae Kocho, the current Flower Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, and also your mentor's wife."
"And this is Shinobu Kocho, the current Insect Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, and your master's sister."
When she heard Teiichi say that she was Muichiro's teacher's wife, Kanae couldn't help but blush slightly, but she didn't refute it.
She looked toward Muichiro, wanting to hear the first time she heard the word "Master's Wife".
However, to her slight disappointment, Muichiro simply turned his gaze silently toward the two of them after hearing this.
Then he stood quietly in place, without making a sound.
Seeing this, Teiichi was about to tell Muichiro to call for help, Kanae spoke first:
"It seems this child has been through quite a lot!"
Teiichi, acknowledging the matter.
Kanae smiled gently and said:
" Muichiro, come back to the Butterfly Mansion with us. From now on, the Butterfly Mansion will be your home!"
These words, like a spring breeze across a lake, stirred ripples in Muichiro's heart.
"Hmm!" Muichiro responded softly.
Afterwards, the group walked down the Yamashita together.
On the way, Shinobu Kocho asked curiously, "Is this child very talented? Should we ask the Master to introduce him to you for training?"
Teiichi nodded again and said seriously, "Yes, with this child's talent, I plan to let him participate in the Final Selection together with Kui."
"Huh? The Final Selection isn't far off yet, is it? Is it too late?" Shinobu Kocho asked in surprise.
Teiichi carefully examined Muichiro beside him, then said, "We'll make it in time!"
"Has this child already studied this before?" Shinobu Kocho asked.
She simply couldn't believe that someone could participate in the Final Selection after studying for less than a month.
You should know that she had an older sister, and even Teiichi, who studied for two or three years before participating in the Final Selection.
Teiichi shook his head. "He just took it and practiced randomly before; he didn't really learn it properly."
"So you're still planning to let him participate in the Final Selection with Aoi? Isn't that just harming him?" Shinobu Kocho said angrily.
Kanae also chimed in, "Why don't we let him participate in the next round?"
Teiichi smiled and didn't say much to them, but instead explained:
"Don't worry, I'll let you see them before they go to the Final Selection. If you don't think they're up to par, I won't let them participate in the Final Selection!"
Hearing this, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho relaxed a little.
They were genuinely worried that the teacher Teiichi cursory lesson and then send them off to participate in the trials.
Even though the demons of Mount Fujikasane are all the weakest demons that have been screened, it is still possible to find them.
Even the weakest demons are stronger than most adults.
Seeing that the two seemed relaxed after hearing his words, clearly regarding Muichiro as just an ordinary person or someone with a little talent, Teiichi added:
"Don't let Muichiro you, Muichiro has already slain a demon!"
Upon hearing this, Shinobu Kocho looked surprised. "Really?"
Teiichi nodded and told them about Muichiro.
The more Shinobu Kocho listened, the more she realized that Muichiro's talent was probably beyond the reach of ordinary people.
A boy of about ten years old, without any training, was able to kill ghosts on his own?
This fact was something she simply couldn't believe.
As far as she knew, among the current Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, only Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa were able to kill demons without any training.
When Gyomei Himejima, he was already an adult.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, on the other hand, has a special constitution; he has extremely Marechi Marechi.
Ghosts will become drunk as soon as they smell his blood, and their abilities in all aspects will decline.
Although both of them were able to kill demons without any training, they seemed to be a step weaker than Muichiro.
Kanae chuckled lightly:
"It seems that Muichiro really does have a chance to participate in the Final Selection with Aoi this time!"
