Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 24 – Purgatory Makijuro
……

It is early morning.

Birds chirping accompanied by running water, slightly swaying in the mountains.

Inside the mansion.

Kamado Tanjuro raised his head, his eyes turned to where the voice came from.

That's on the rooftop.

Step, step, step.

There was the slight sound of footsteps on the tatami.

A figure dressed in white feathers came slowly from the roof, his voice was soft and gentle, making people feel like spring breeze:

"Everyone is here."

"It's been half a year since I saw you."

The visitor had black hair, and his features could not be seen clearly because of the purple scars spreading down from his forehead.

The scar covered his left eye, the white eyelashes trembled slightly, the eyes drooped, and the pupil was gray.

His right eye still seemed to be able to see, and his dark purple pupils slowly swept across the crowd in the courtyard. He smiled, and his voice was gentle and calm:
"My lovely children."

"Everyone, are you all right?"

[Demon Slayer Squad Master, Yuya Ubuyashiki]

Behind him, two children, one with black hair and one with white hair, closed the horizontal sliding door of the roof, walked to his side, and stretched out their hands to support him.

Swish!
When Yuya Ubuyashiki walked out of the roof, the current six pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad all put aside their previous loose attitude.

They bent their knees slightly, half-kneeled in front of the roof, and lowered their heads.

Even Yihei Xiaobane, who was originally coiled on the tree, quickly jumped down from the tree and half-kneeled in front of the roof.

"all good."

Immortal Kawa Minami, who had a bad tone, changed his previous style. He raised his eyes slightly, half-knelt on the ground, and his tone was very respectful:
"But your health is the most important thing, my lord."

"I am really happy for you."

Gumbling…

Is this... my lord?

Murata followed Tomioka Yoshiyuki half-kneeling, he was sweating profusely in panic, and after realizing that the other pillars suddenly became serious, he no longer dared to look up to observe the lord.

Instead, he lowered his head, looked at the ants on the ground, and calmed down his shortness of breath due to tension.

"..."

Purgatory Xingshourou put his hands on his knees, with a serious expression on his face, he didn't react, and knelt down on the ground with a bang.

Today was the first time he participated in the Zhuhe meeting instead of his father, so he was a little at a loss for a while.

Sensing the indistinct gazes of the other pillars, he didn't have time to switch positions, straightened his back and stared straight ahead with spirit.

The red flame-like hair color unique to purgators shines in the sun.

pat.

Kamado Tanjuro sat next to Purgatory Kyojuro, and he also sat there.

As a weak and sickly mountain chaifu, unlike those pillars, his body can't stand it after half-kneeling for a long time.

and.

He glanced at Purgatory Xingshourou, and smiled at the latter.

It seems that Xing Shoulang, who will take up the post of Yan Zhu in the future, is also a little at a loss now. It may be much better to have such a "companion" as himself.

Purgatory Kyojuro looked at Tanjuro, and was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his mood immediately became as usual, and he was full of energy.

- Mmm!Mr. Zaomen is a good man!
Tanjuro withdrew his gaze, and his gaze slowly shifted to Yoya Miyayashiki on the roof.

Observing the appearance of the other party that is somewhat different from his own impression.

The wound on his face was not as extensive as he remembered, and it seemed that he was only blind in one eye now.

Before, he hadn't paid much attention to this matter.

in the original.

Tanjiro took Yadouko and followed Rinaki Sakonji for more than two years of training before passing the final selection of Fujishiyama.

In other words, now is exactly about two to three years ago from the original time.

Therefore, the ghost killing team that originally had nine pillars three years later now only has six pillars.

Missing, Xia, Lian, Yan, these three pillars.

Now, the strength of the ghost killing team is far less than what I remember.

At the same time, he probably guessed why the lord asked him to attend the Zhuhe meeting.

While Tanjuro was thinking about this silently.

"Thank you, Minya." Yuya Ubuyashiki's undamaged deep purple right pupil looked at Undead River, he smiled and nodded lightly:
"After the last time, the situation has become somewhat isolated."

Miyayashiki Yoya slowly knelt and sat on the edge of the roof, his white eyelashes shimmered in the sun and trembled slightly:

"As of now, I have to ask you for more."

"For that, please forgive me."

Said, Miyayashiki Yoya lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes, expressing his apology and self-blame.

"You don't have to."

"This is what we should do, my lord."

"That's right!"

Seeing this, the pillars all became anxious.

Only Die Die Ren's expression changed from smiling to silent, and she didn't speak.

The hand that was placed on Haori was also slowly clenched, until it turned white.

Undead Kawa Minami saw the lord's face of self-blame, he frowned slightly, thought of countermeasures in his mind, and quickly shouted:

"My lord!"

"Excuse me, before that..."

His eyes turned to one side, in the direction of Purgatory Xingshou Lang, and his eyes became fierce again:
"Why Yan Zhu, Mr. Purgatory Makijuro didn't come.

"Instead, a swordsman who is not a pillar came."

"Mr. Purgatory Makijuro, what happened?"

Purgatory Xingshoulang heard the words, he raised his head, smiled, his eyes were firm, and his voice was bold:

"Father, he..."

"Hello!!" Undead Kawa Minami suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting the words of Purgatory Kyojuro. His face was gloomy and he squinted:

"Who asked you to interrupt!"

Yoya Miyayashiki raised his head slowly, and he explained aloud:

"Shiya, don't embarrass him too much."

"Today, the situation of Makijuro is one of the things we discussed."

He turned his head sideways, looked at Purgatory Kyojuro with some cloudy eyes, smiled, and said in a gentle voice:
"You must be quite worried about Makijuro."

"Can you tell us how he is at home?"

Purgatory Kyojuro stared blankly at Miyayashiki Yoya, listening to the other person's words, he only felt his head buzzing.

Incredible...!
This special timbre makes the body feel warm as if being blown by the spring breeze!
After being stunned for a while, he quickly came back to his senses and explained:

"Father, he..."

"Since the death of my mother, my father lost all his fighting spirit."

"In the beginning, I brought alcohol with me when I was on mission."

"Now, I often lock myself in the house, drink too much, and don't go out to work anymore."

After listening to Xing Julang's words, the scene almost fell into a moment of silence.

"Ah... what a pity..."

Bei Mingyu Xingming held up the Buddha beads, clasped his hands together, two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of his cloudy and white eyes, his tone was calm and sad:

"In this case, it may be difficult for Makijuro-san to become Yanzhu again..."

Whoa!

Yu Sui Tianyuan raised his head suddenly, and the glittering gem ornaments shook with his movements. He raised his hand and said in a calm tone:

"I think he should just retire."

"There is no benefit for such a guy to stay, but it will lower our morale."
