Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 40 - Battle Memory Part One

"Master Zhu Shi, do you want to take the finger bones too?"

"Just in case, take it."

"Yes."

"Remember to take samples of muscle tissue and skin tissue."

"Understood!"

Light footsteps approached.

pat, pat.

Under the soft moonlight, the standing shadow slowly enveloped Yushiro and Zhushi who were squatting together.

The figure paused behind the two of them.

"Hello."

With his back to the moon, Tanjuro stood behind Yushiro, and spoke softly to Shuse who was fumbling with his head down.

"!!"

Hearing these words, Yushiro's ears twitched twice, his face was startled, he turned his head suddenly, and looked at Tanjuro who was slowly squatting beside him.

Tanjuro's backlight was reflected in the lavender vertical eyes.

The pupils narrowed slightly, and then reacted immediately.

——Sure enough, this guy can see through my blood ghost technique...

Then, he looked at the wedge ball on Tanjuro's waist,
——Didn’t you draw your sword…

Yushiro frowned, and he looked Tanjuro up and down.

On the other hand, Zhushi raised his head slowly, looked at Tanjuro with sad lavender thin eyes, and his eyes slowly stayed on Tanjuro's earrings.

He held out his hand:

"Kaomen Tanjuro."

Tanjuro said his name, squatted down, stretched out his right hand to Sushi, and smiled:

"first meet."

Zhu Shi observed for a while, nodded slightly, and just raised his hand to show etiquette.

aside.

Yushiro stared straight at Tanjuro's hand that went around him and stretched out towards Juse.

——?
A huge question mark suddenly appeared above his head.

The purple vertical pupil looked at Tanjuro for an instant.

Snapped!
The hand full of veins suddenly slapped over, and suddenly grabbed Tanjuro's hand.

Grip very hard.

Tanjuro subconsciously followed his arm and glanced at the owner of the hand.

——It was Yushiro with a gloomy face and slightly gritted teeth.

Yushiro raised his head slightly, he gritted his teeth, his veins protruded slightly, and looked at Tanjuro angrily:

"Hello."

He vigorously shook the right hand he was holding with Tanjuro, as if slowly squeezing out a few syllables from his throat:

"My name is... Yushiro."

Yushiro and Tanjuro looked at each other, their purple vertical pupils hidden in the shadows.

I thought angrily.

--This guy…

——I actually wanted to hold Lord Zhu Shi's hand directly...! !

creak...

A well protruded from his forehead.

Tanjuro was stunned for a moment, he looked at Yushirou holding his hand, and then nodded:

"Ah."

He rejoiced in his heart - his body was still filled with the power of regeneration, otherwise, at this moment, his hand bones might not be directly crushed.

"Yushiro, stop quickly." Zhu Shi noticed some unkind words of Yushiro, and she stopped her voice:

"It's so rude."

When Yushiro heard this, he just looked at Tanjuro, and slowly let go of his clenched hands.

Then turn away:

"Yes."

But there was still vigilance in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhushi looked at Tanjuro apologetically, and said sincerely:

"terribly sorry."

"My name is Zhushi, and this child's name is Yushiro."

Tanjuro's image was reflected in her lavender eyes:

"We are not malicious."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and looked at the broken arm on the ground.

Tanjuro followed suit and lowered his head.

next moment.

Half of it had been dissected, revealing the bright red muscles, and the arm with the severed two phalanges removed remained on the ground.

The remaining dissected muscles and skin are also slowly dissipating into ashes at this moment.

Tanjuro was a little taken aback, he looked at the small wooden box that Tsushima was closing.

Apparently, Zhu Shi had obtained enough material in the time just now.

Just when Tanjuro looked at the severed arm that was taken clean on the ground.

whoosh-

A burst of pink entangled white light rose from the remains of the severed arm and the wooden box in Zhu Shi's arms.

Snapped!
He plunged headlong into the crouching Tanjuro's chest.

Tanjuro, who was about to speak, choked for a moment, and he frowned slightly, observing the changes in his body.

——The two empty resurrection powers quickly lit up.

And, the memory just now in my mind gradually became extremely profound.

【Battle Memory · First String One · Black Death Mou】

In his heart, an icon depicting a figure wearing a purple-black snake-pattern feather weaving lighted up.

The memory of the battle just now slowly deepened and gradually took root in his mind.

And - besides the power of regeneration, his most fundamental physical foundation is slowly recovering.

It is the effect brought by the battle memory.

In the wolf world, the wolf's own physical talent is quite superior.

Coupled with the transparent world in Tanjuro's soul, it is almost as if he has seen the enemy's moves once, and he can reproduce them decently.

The same is true for the principle of battle memory.

By repeatedly observing his own fighting process, deduce different possibilities, and gradually strengthen his own strength - restore the foundation of the body.

This would mean that if one day, Tanjuro could completely restore his physical foundation to normal through the battle memory.

At that time, Tanjuro will be able to maintain his current full strength even if he does not consume his resurrection power.

The half arm of Hei Si Mou contained unimaginably rich things.

A series of mutations made Tanjuro fall into a deadlock in thinking.

"We just need these things and will be leaving soon..."

Zhu Shi was explaining softly, but she soon noticed Tanjuro's stunned expression.

After being silent for a while, Juse tentatively asked Tanjuro:

"... Mr. Kitchen Gate?"

After Tanjuro was stunned for a while, he quickly reacted, looked at Zhushi again, and nodded:
"Well, sorry, I was distracted."

creak...

On the side, Yushiro's forehead protruded again, and he turned his head to look at Tanjuro viciously.

Your mind wanders while others are talking!
How rude!
Yushiro thought viciously, but didn't say it out loud - because it would make Miss Zhushi angry.

Zhu Shi also added at this time:

"If we're going to cause trouble, we're leaving..."

Ignoring Yushiro, Tanjuro thought for a moment, and said to Juse calmly:
"That's not necessary, Miss Zhushi."

"Speaking of which, I personally need your help..."

Tanjuro looked into Tsuse's pupils, his tone was full of consideration and thought.

Now, the recovery of the body is based on the combat memory, but the recovery path that can be found must be found.

and.

In the original world line, there is no existence of oneself.

Mi Douzi turned into a ghost, Zhu Shi researched Mi Douzi's blood, and developed a potion that can turn ghosts back into humans - used to target Wu Mi.

But now, Mi Douzi has not become a ghost...

Under the puzzled eyes of Zhushi and Yushirou, Tanjuro slowly stated:

"My body is very weak."

Yushiro was taken aback.

——?
He glanced at Tanjuro's muscles that could clearly see the outline under the haori with his calm eyes.

Eyes range from calm to questioning to disbelieving.

"You guy..."

"...are you serious?"

Yushiro frowned tightly, he turned his head slightly, and questioned Tanjuro in an unbelievable tone.
