Demon Slayer: The Demon King is actually a weak girl?!

The young man looked handsome and his eyes were as clear as a pool of spring water.

Shiya was a little dazed.

Isn't this the person I met last time?

"I'm Abeshi," the boy said, "I'm Xiaowu's senior."

"Senior brother?" Tanjiro frantically searched for information about this person in his mind.

All I could hear was Abe's accusations: "Xiao Wu just wanted to earn some money to buy beautiful clothes. What did she do wrong? I've always wanted to see her, but I never had the chance. You saw her quite often, but how did you protect her? You didn't protect her well at all..."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his face showed a look of collapse, turning pale and red.

Hearing this, Tanjiro's eyes kept trembling -

If he had worked harder or had more talent, perhaps everything would have been different.

He was clearly the person who was at the scene that day...

However, he had used up all his strength in the training of the Demon Slayer Corps over the years. No one wanted to see something like this happen...

Tanjiro's heart also became confused along with Abeshi's, and he couldn't utter a word.

However, facing Abe Shi's out-of-control emotions, Shima was not very excited.

He was as calm as a still lake, as if he had become a different person.

"You're silent. Are you feeling guilty?" Abe pointed his finger at the silent Shimizu and said angrily, "Although you are a pillar, I'm not afraid of you!"

“……” Shimi took a deep breath and did not get furious like usual. Instead, he left without saying a word.

Tanjiro looked at Miya who was walking away, then at Abeshi whose heartbeat was irregular, and for a moment he didn't know which one to comfort first.

He also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Saneiya in his heart. First of all, when they first met, Saneiya always wanted to kill Nezuko. Just based on this point, he didn't have much good impression of Saneiya.

But considering the position issue, and because of Xiao Wu, Shimi did not succeed, so he could understand it a little.

"Hey, Xiao Wu..."

Tanjiro thought, maybe the person he should comfort the most is himself...

By the courtyard wall, Xuan Mi walked out from the bushes and looked at his brother's back worriedly.

When he didn't know the truth and used all kinds of vicious words to accuse his brother of killing their mother, his brother had the same reaction.

"Brother, you must be worried about something..."

The calmer he was, perhaps the more turbulent his heart would be, to the point where he had to suppress it forcefully, otherwise it would be like a landslide or a tsunami.

Xuan Mi pondered and walked in front of them.

When Tanjiro saw Xuanya, he came back to his senses from his recent depression and smiled politely: "It's you, hello, we have met before."

"I know, we are from the same class." Xuanya nodded to Tanjiro, then turned to look at Abe Shi.

He told him, "Big brother will not defend himself because of what you said. On the contrary, he will take all the mistakes and all the pain on himself."

"I don't blame him." Abe Shi smiled bitterly, "I know it's not someone else's fault. The fault lies in my own lack of strength..."

——Fuzuigawa Miyabi is also the Wind Pillar after all, and he is also a practitioner of wind breathing, so what about him?

The person he really blames is himself...

Tanjiro also deeply agrees with this.

Among the people present, Tanjiro was the only one who was on the Infinite Train that day. But the only thing he could do at that time was to stop Brother Rengoku from executing Xiao Wu on the spot.

After learning from his mistakes, he cheered himself up and felt a great deal of sympathy for Abe Shi, who was extremely heartbroken at the time.

So he encouraged Abe Shi: "Abe-senpai, let's have an udon eating competition!"

Abe, who was still in pain, said: "?"

"Yes, you heard it right!" Tanjiro said optimistically.

Eating can help calm your mood and also help everyone divert their attention!

"Xuanya, come too!" Tanjiro patted Fushigi Xuanya's shoulder affectionately again.

Xuan Mi's body trembled and he jumped on the spot: "Don't call me so affectionately!"

——It feels so awkward hearing two grown men calling each other like that!

"Yes, yes, let's go eat!" Tanjiro's eyes were curved like small bridges.

Abe Shi & Fushigawa Genya: "..."

I'm so depressed that I'm full. How can I eat more?

But considering the other party's sincerity, I'll just take a bite...

----------------------------------------

Demon Slayer Corps, Butterfly House.

The gray pebbles spread out on the ground outside were baked white by the hot sun at noon, as if if you poured some water on them, both the pebbles and the water would immediately turn into a wisp of green smoke.

The blonde girl in plum-colored clothes walked through the shade of the corridor. Her steps were not brisk, and the black shadow made her back look even more worried.

"Sakura-sama."

"Sakura-sama..."

When the girls in Butterfly House saw her, they all nodded and greeted her.

Jiujo Xiyue smiled back at them, but the upward curve at the corner of her mouth seemed forced.

As we turned the corner, another little purple butterfly "flew" out.

Xiyue took the initiative to step forward and called out the other person's name: "Kanameo."

"Master Xiyue." Kanao bowed. She seemed to be in a good mood. "Are you here to see Master as well?"

"Yeah, you said 'also'? Then let's go together." Xiyue said with a smile.

"Um……"

For some reason, Kanai suddenly felt a little shy and followed Xiyue silently.

After searching for several places, they finally found where Shinobu Kocho was. They pushed open the door and saw Shinobu Kocho sitting in front of the shrine of the front flower pillar, Kanae Kocho, with a smile on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Kanao waved at the Kocho Ninja: "Master, I have completed the training of the Wind Pillar Master. Can I start the training with Master?"

Xiyue also asked immediately: "Xiao Shinobu, all the pillars have their own emphasis in training, so would it be better for us to discuss the content we want to decide with each other? In this way, the team members can have a step-by-step process."

Shinobu Kocho was stunned and just stared at them.

After a long time, the faint smile on her lips could not be maintained.

"I..." Purple eyebrows froze slightly, "I don't plan to participate in this training."

"Huh?" Kanao was stunned.

Xiyue looked at Kocho Shinobu from head to toe. She shook her head, feeling that something was wrong: "Tomioka has already stopped participating, so why don't you participate too? Can you tell me the reason?"

"Well..." Kocho Shinobu's face darkened, "Please close the door."

"..."

Xiyue closed the door suspiciously and sat next to Kanao.

Shinobu Kocho let out a long sigh, and slowly spoke out an idea that had been brewing in her mind for many years...

---------------------------------------------

There were no surprises during the training period.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

The bare cherry trees have branches that grow in all directions, yet the leaves stubbornly cling to the trunks like dried fish bones.

Next to the door, the houseplate with the words "Nine" flashed a faint golden light in the dark night.

"This must be the home of that Sakura Pillar..."

After all, there aren't that many people with the surname Kujo these days.

Tanjiro gave Zenitsu an approving look: "Yes, I have seen Miss Kujo, and I remember the smell of her."

"The smell...the smell of a girl must be the sweet scent of flowers~" Zenitsu's cheeks flushed and he almost danced.

——Oh, he finally felt that this training had some hope!

"..."

Tanjiro was speechless.

At Shimizu's place, he spent quite some time to encourage Abeshi and Genmi, and he didn't know how many days he wasted.

Zenitsu was procrastinating and always trying to find ways to be lazy. He tried very hard to play badly, and the time he wasted was just as much as Tanjiro's, which was a coincidence.

As for Inosuke, he had already completed the requirements set by Fushigi Miyabi, and it was unknown what stage he had reached now.

Tanjiro and Zenitsu came to Shiozuki's classroom, looked around, and found that Inosuke was not there.

While marveling at Inosuke's speed, they then went to ask about the future training and the pillar-level swordsmen he would be in charge of.

Xiyue counted on her fingers and told them: "Behind me is the training of Love Pillar, Kanroji Mitsuri, and the training of Snake Pillar, Iguro Obanai, and finally, Rock Pillar, Sadness Island Gyoumei."
