Chapter 546: SFDI - 546
Faced with Drake’s question, Tanjiro didn’t think for long before he had an answer.
He wanted to become stronger, and then find Muzan Kibutsuji. And his purpose wasn’t revenge, but to find a way to turn his sister back to normal.
Although he also wanted revenge, Tanjiro was more concerned about not letting the tragedy of his family happen to others again.
It could only be said that this child was a little too kind. But this kindness wasn’t foolish, so Drake was willing to see such a person move forward more smoothly.
Looking at Tanjiro doing a dogeza in front of him, Drake couldn’t help but start thinking.
If Tanjiro wanted to become stronger, then he needed two things. One was the breathing technique and accompanying swordsmanship of this world, and the other was combat experience.
Tanjiro already had the first one. The Hinokami Kagura he inherited from his family was the original and strongest breathing technique, Sun Breathing.
And what he lacked was the training to transform it into combat ability.
And Drake could call himself proficient in combat, and Drake also wanted to learn the breathing technique of this world. Wasn’t this a two-way street?
So Drake knelt down opposite Tanjiro and said, "To be honest, I know that a family that inherited the Sun Breathing has been living in seclusion here.
And you should be the one who has mastered that special skill, so it’s not you asking me, but I who want to learn Sun Breathing from you."
Drake chose to be frank with Tanjiro. Although it wouldn’t be difficult to freeload the Sun Breathing from Tanjiro, this honest child, it would be completely meaningless. This win-win approach was the right way.
Tanjiro straightened up, question marks popping up on his head, and said, "Sun Breathing? But I don’t know that kind of thing?"
Drake solemnly told Tanjiro the story of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, including him teaching his swordsmanship to his friend Sumiyoshi Kamado.
"Mr. Tsugikuni’s life wasn’t meaningless!"
Tanjiro said this with emotion after hearing Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s evaluation of himself, and then said, "So the Hinokami Kagura that my father taught me is the Sun Breathing created by Mr. Tsugikuni?"
Tanjiro remembered his father killing a giant bear with his sickly body, and couldn’t help but believe Drake’s words.
And Tanjiro also didn’t have any intention of keeping it to himself, and said, "If it can be of any help, I’m willing to teach you the Sun Breathing."
Drake stared straight into Tanjiro’s sincere eyes and said, "I will also help you learn how to fight."
Just as the two were talking, the sound of the door opening rang out. Judging from the light and almost inaudible footsteps, the person who came stopped at the door for a while, probably to check the bloodstains at the door.
Then, under Tanjiro’s surprised gaze, a flash of a blade cut the wooden door in front of the two in half.
The door panels, which had been cut in half, fell down, revealing the man behind with a blank face.
The man was wearing a haori with different colors on the left and right sides, and was holding a katana with an azure blade in his hand, with the words "Demon Slayer" engraved on the blade.
The man looked at Drake and Tanjiro, who were sitting opposite each other, tilted his head, and showed a confused expression.
And Drake also recognized the man who had broken in, Giyu Tomioka, the Water Pillar, one of the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
It was estimated that he had seen the bloodstains in front of the door, so he knew that this place had been attacked by a demon, and heard someone in the house, so he thought that the demon was still here and drew his sword.
Seeing that the two didn’t have the characteristics of demons, Giyu Tomioka sheathed his sword and said, "I am Giyu Tomioka of the Demon Slayer Corps. This place should have been attacked by a demon. Tell me the details!"
Although he had long known that Giyu Tomioka was extremely bad at speaking and handling interpersonal relationships, even Drake was surprised by how outrageous his way of speaking was.
Speaking with such an arrogant tone that sounded like an order, no wonder Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Pillar, and Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Pillar, often "righteously surrounded and attacked" him.
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, and said, "My house was indeed attacked by a demon, but that demon has already left."
Giyu Tomioka looked at Tanjiro, still without any expression on his face, and a string of black dots extended out between the two.
Giyu Tomioka: (￢_￢)
.........
Tanjiro: (_)
The awkward scene lasted for several minutes before Tanjiro realized that the other party didn’t believe him, and so he quickly said, "I’m not lying. The demon who attacked my house left before I came back. I don’t know where he went."
Giyu Tomioka still had a wooden face, making people really want to grab his collar and make him say something quickly.
Just then, the door on the side suddenly opened, and Nezuko ran out. Seeing Tanjiro, her eyes lit up, and then she ran over directly.
But just at this moment, Giyu Tomioka’s dull eyes suddenly became sharp. In the next instant, the sharp blade was unsheathed, bringing up a ukiyo-e wave that slashed at Nezuko’s neck.
Tanjiro didn’t even have time to be surprised before he saw that Drake and Giyu Tomioka’s positions had changed.
Giyu Tomioka was in front of Tanjiro, maintaining the posture of swinging his sword, and Drake was beside him, reaching out and grabbing his wrist.
Giyu Tomioka only felt that what was on his wrist was a tightening iron clamp, making him unable to move no matter what.
Giyu Tomioka was shocked in his heart. This was the first time that his sword form had been interrupted so directly.
But the shock didn’t show on his face at all. Giyu Tomioka was still that expression, saying, "What are you doing? Slaying demons is my job. Don’t interfere with me!"
Drake said, "Don’t be impulsive! That child was just turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, and hasn’t eaten anyone yet.
And this child is special. She has broken free from Muzan Kibutsuji’s control, and can live without eating people."
Giyu Tomioka looked at Drake with disbelief, not intending to sheathe his sword at all.
"No, demons must be killed!"
Drake sighed. Anyone would have a headache meeting someone who was so difficult to communicate with. He subconsciously said, "You must be hated a lot with this personality!"
It seemed like a flash of lightning had passed by. Tanjiro couldn’t help but open his mouth wide, and Nezuko, who was leaning against him, had a blank expression, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"I... am not hated!"
Giyu Tomioka’s tone was quite serious, as if he really believed it.
So Giyu Tomioka’s ability to interact with people was so low partly because of his way of speaking, and partly because he simply couldn’t understand other people’s emotions and thoughts.
...
...
After another long silence, Drake took the initiative to change the subject and said, "How about this, this child will be acting with me from now on. I will guarantee that this child will never commit any sins."
...
"Hey, give me a reaction, will you!"
Drake had such good psychological control abilities, but he was also broken by Giyu Tomioka.
