Comprehensive manga: Starting from picking up a goddess by mistake on the ground

Chapter 5 The Firm Will

"Then what should I do?"

"Don't ask others about this kind of thing, think for yourself!"

Looking at Tanjiro who was full of doubts, as a breeder, Sakonji Nintaki showed disappointment in his eyes.

It's so gentle, even if it's facing evil spirits.

People who are full of hesitation will not survive long in the battle between humans and ghosts.

Ever since the three of Micah met the evil spirit, Nintaki Sakonji had been by their side and paying attention to their every move.

For the first time, Nintaki Sakon was very satisfied with Micah's decisive behavior.

But the hesitant Tanjiro made him a little disappointed.

After Nintaki Sakonji's reminder, Tanjiro picked up a stone from the ground, intending to smash the evil spirit's head with it.

However, looking at the continuously struggling evil ghost's head, he was unable to make a move.

It wasn't until the sun rose and the captured evil spirit turned to ashes in the sunlight that Tanjiro woke up from the difficult choice and retreated hastily.

After witnessing the end of the evil spirit, he thought of his sister the next moment.

"Nezuko!"

"Don't worry, Nezuko, I have already made arrangements."

Walking out of the Buddhist hall, Mika, who had already placed Nezuko in the box, said gently.

Mika had no intention of intervening in the recent test that Nintakiza gave Tanjiro. After all, these were areas where Tanjiro needed to make breakthroughs on his own.

As for whether Nintaki Sa will accept Tanjiro as his disciple this time, this point has been clearly expressed in the original work, so there is no need for Mika to worry.

"Great!"

Involuntarily leaning towards his chest, Tanjirou's expression relaxed visibly to the naked eye.

Then, he looked around, looking for the samurai who suddenly appeared wearing a Tengu mask.

"This way."

Unlike Tanjiro, who had been immersed in the difficult choice, Mika, who was ignored, watched everything with his eyes.

Under his guidance, the two came to the side of the Buddhist hall and saw the old Tengu who had buried the deceased in the ground.

"Hello?"

Facing the old Tengu who was worshiping, Tanjiro asked awkwardly.

"My name is Ryotaki Sakonji, you two were introduced by Tomioka Yoshiyuki!"

"Yes, my name is Micah."

Facing Rinaki Saku's recent inquiry, Micah quickly responded.

"My name is Kamado Tanjiro, and the person in the temple is my sister, Kamado Nezuko."

Seeing this, Tanjiro also quickly pointed to himself and the Buddhist hall on one side and introduced.

"Tanjiro!"

Turning around and staring at the embarrassed Tanjiro seriously, Nintaki Sakonji's voice gradually became serious.

"What do you do when your sister eats people!"

"what!"

Obviously, faced with this kind of problem that he had never thought about, Kamado Tanjiro instantly fell into consternation, followed by confusion that he could not think about.

But before he fell into a dilemma, Rinaki Zuojinji stepped forward and gave him a slap to wake him up, and gave him the correct answer.

"You are too slow to judge, you are too slow to judge!"

"Why didn't you give the ghost a final blow until the sun rose? Why didn't you answer the question immediately? It's because your heart is not firm enough."

"If your sister eats people, then there are only two things you can do, that is, kill your sister, and then commit seppuku. This is what you have to face with your sister who has turned into a ghost."

"But you have to remember, don't let this actually happen."

"Yes!"

Recalling the stories about ghosts that Micah once told him, Tanjiro gradually became firmer in his heart.

"Hmph, I finally made a decision for once. Compared with you, Micah seems much more mature."

Looking at Micah, who was standing on the side and kept silent, Ryodaki Zuoji nodded involuntarily.

He knew that Mika might have figured out his identity as early as when he appeared, so he remained silent when he tested Tanjiro.

"Of course, Micah is much better than me."

Tanjiro was full of gratitude for Micah who had helped him countless times.

Regarding this, Micah, who hung up for a long time, couldn't help but shook his head.

The reason why he can be so calm is just because he 'knew it earlier'.

In terms of basic quality, he may not be as good as Tanjiro.

"Okay, let me test whether you have the qualifications to become a demon slayer swordsman."

"Take your luggage and follow me."

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

On the forest path, Micah kept running with his luggage on his back.

At this time, his breathing was very rapid.

Half a day has passed since departure.

For the past half day, he and Tanjiro had been chasing the footsteps of Nintaki Sakonji, never stopping to rest.

His body was already exhausted.

Being able to run now depends entirely on perseverance.

"This is really terrible! Fortunately, I grew up in the countryside in this life. If I had grown up in the city like in my previous life, I wouldn't have been able to run for so long."

"Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, this is too abnormal! Can I really persist?"

As his physical strength wore off, Micah's mind couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

All kinds of thoughts were running rampant in his mind, constantly pouring into his thoughts.

Then, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind and quickly took root in his mind.

"Should I return to the wrong world, take a rest, and then continue running? The other party can't find me anyway."

Although Micah has not been back during this period, he also explored the starry sky in his mind when he rested at night.

And got some basic information from it.

One of them is that Micah can adjust the flow of time between the two worlds, so that no matter how long he spends in one world, it is only a moment in the other world.

Through this ability, he can now return to the world of Dicuo to rest, and then continue running back.

And Kintaki Sakonji, who was leading the way, could not detect this no matter what.

Everything is so perfect and seamless.

But Micah could not make up his mind.

Because in front of him, Tanjirou, who was carrying the box where his sister was, was still running, and he would be able to reach the destination after that, Micah knew this very well.

Compared with the salute behind Micah, the box containing Nezuko was obviously heavier.

Even though Tanjiro is one year older than Micah, it doesn't mean anything.

"Obviously I said that Tanjirou was not firm enough in his heart, but in fact, I am the one who is really not firm!"

In his previous life, he was an ordinary college student, and in this life, he is an ordinary country boy.

Micah had never experienced anything that could transform him.

His heart has never been firm.

Even though he had extravagantly hoped to go to Orario and become an adventurer, that was just a desire.

"I was able to perform so well before because I just 'knew it earlier', but where in the world can there be so many 'knew it earlier'!"

"There are still more 'unknowns' in this world!"

"I don't have a firm heart, what should I do if I encounter an 'unknown' that I can't handle!"

Looking at the young man running in front of him, Micah's heart became more and more fiery and determined.

"Tanjiro, are you tired?"

"Of course I'm tired!"

"Then can you still hold on?"

"I can do it, don't worry Micah, I won't be left behind by you, I will definitely persevere!"

A roaring voice came from Kamado Tanjiro's mouth.

Obviously, in Tanjiro's heart, Micah, who is more outstanding than him, should be very relaxed.

"Snapped!"

Micah's eyes became firm as he slapped his face hard with both hands.

"No, Tanjiro, I am the one who will not be left behind!"

The fire in my heart began to burn.

Micah's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, Micah made up his mind and he would be able to persevere.

He will never escape!
