Surpass Yourself from Demon Slayer

On the other side.

After Agatsuma Zenitsu, Hashibira Inosuke and Tanjiro met up

"Is this box the flower?"

Inosuke Hashibira stared at the box of blue Higanbana in Tanjiro's hand with a little curiosity.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Tanjiro nodded seriously and carefully put the box into the Demon Slayer Corps uniform.

"Now that we have it, let's go."

Zenitsu Agatsuma said this expressionlessly, and walked down the mountain on his own. With a barely perceptible sigh, Tanjiro adjusted his outer coat and moved back and forth.

After making sure that he looked the same as usual and would not show any suspicious expressions, he and Inosuke Hashibira chased after Zenitsu Agatsuma.

Ever since he witnessed Ji Qingfeng's death in front of him, Zenitsu Agatsuma's personality has changed greatly.

Training, hunting ghosts, he was completely reckless, as if he was punishing himself in this way.

Punishing the cowardly self who used to dislike training.

Tanjiro could always smell that Zenitsu Agatsuma was always emitting self-blame and guilt. Regret, hatred... and countless other negative emotions.

He had tried to help Agatsuma Zenitsu to get over it, but to no avail.

In the past few months, Agatsuma Zenitsu had almost no communication with other people except for Shinobu Kocho, Tanjiro and Inosuke Hashibira.

Hashibira Inosuke was also very sad, but his personality was not like Agatsuma Zenitsu who could not get over it.

During this period, Hashibira Inosuke had been strictly following the training plan that Ji Qingfeng had set, and even gradually increased the amount of training.

Compared to Zenitsu, Hashibira Inosuke was more thinking about becoming stronger, and then if he met that ghost, he would definitely avenge Ji Qingfeng.

After catching up with Agatsuma Zenitsu, Tanjiro hesitated again.

‘Should I tell Zenitsu about my guess?

After struggling for a long time, Tanjiro once again gave up the idea.

‘This may be the best situation now.

When I find a way to turn a demon into a human, I can let Brother Qingfeng come back! '

Ji Qingfeng should have turned into a demon.

This was the conclusion that Tanjiro secretly deduced after he noticed that Kocho Shinobu was in a bad mood.

He was so careful to protect the blue spider lily because he guessed that Kocho Shinobu might have found a clue to turn a demon into a human, and needed the blue spider lily.

On the way back to the Butterfly House, none of the three spoke, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

They were used to this kind of atmosphere.

"Take a break, we have been walking for two days."

After two days of traveling day and night, Tanjiro's voice was a little hoarse.

To be careful, they did not choose to take the main road, but chose some mountain roads and secluded paths to avoid the risk of being discovered by anyone or ghosts.

Agatsuma Zenitsu, who was walking in front, paused for a moment and did not respond to Tanjiro.

He sat silently under a tree beside the path and closed his eyes to rest.

""Huh~"

Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Hashibira Inosuke behind him.

After looking at each other, they walked to Zenitsu Agatsuma and sat down cross-legged.

After thinking for a while, Tanjiro said,"Zenitsu, I understand how you feel now."

"That kind of pain is like being shrouded in darkness, making people feel helpless and desperate.

Zenitsu, I know that deep in your heart you are full of self-blame and guilt, and you always feel that you haven't done well enough.

But you have to know that this is not your fault.

He certainly doesn't want to see you indulge in grief.

Zenitsu, you are not alone. There are me and Inosuke, and everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps.

We will share your pain, share your joy, and accompany you through this difficult time.

So, Zenitsu, even though your tears have not dried up yet, even though there are still scars in your heart, please believe that you have the ability and the courage to go through this sad journey.

Because you have a tenacious heart and the support of all of us.

He has not left, but has changed his way and will always be by our side."

After speaking, Tanjiro frequently looked at Inosuke Hashibira, motioning for him to say something quickly.

Scratching his belly, Inosuke Hashibira racked his brains and said,"Zenitsu, I know how you feel in your heart."

"It was like being hit in the stomach by a wild boar, the pain was so severe that I couldn't even straighten my back.

Just like what Tanjiro said, he definitely doesn't want to see you like this.

Try to improve your strength and kill that damned ghost, that's the best way to commemorate him."

After hearing what the two said, Agatsuma Zenitsu lowered his head and stood up calmly.

"Let's go."

Looking at the somewhat desolate back, Tanjiro sighed.

He and Inosuke had said these words of comfort countless times, but to no avail.

Zenitsu was still immersed in grief.

Tanjiro and Inosuke were about to get up and follow when they saw Agatsuma Zenitsu suddenly stop.

He was looking at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him with a wary face.

The person was covered tightly in a black robe, and had a fox mask on his face, so his appearance could not be seen.

It was Ji Qingfeng who came here with the guidance of the crow.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps, and I'm here to pick you up."

Ji Qingfeng said in a low voice, and his tone was completely different from before.

In fact, he arrived when Tanjiro started to comfort Zenitsu.

After hearing Tanjiro and Inosuke's words of comfort to Zenitsu, he realized how much of a blow his death had brought to Zenitsu.

"II heard about the Thunder Pillar."

"As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, I also feel very sorry and regretful about this.

Just like Tanjiro said, the Sound Pillar would definitely not want to see you like this.

I heard that you have been injured frequently recently, and you have been rushing around without caring about life and death when doing missions.

The Sound Pillar exchanged his life for your future. Are you sure you want to stay in the past and make his sacrifice in vain?"

"What would the spirit of the Thunder Pillar in heaven think if he saw you like this?"

Agatsuma Zenitsu didn't want to pay attention to the self-righteous Demon Slayer swordsman in front of him. But after he said the last sentence, Agatsuma Zenitsu couldn't help but rush to the man.

Grasping his black robe tightly with both hands, Zenitsu raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared with tears like a fountain:"What do you know?!"

"What qualifications do you have to say these sarcastic remarks here?!"

"Do you know what he means to me?"

"How well do you know him?"

"What right do you have to preach to me in his tone?!"

A series of angry questions shocked Ji Qingfeng a little confused.

Then he felt a little distressed.

Maybe he shouldn't hide it from them, he should try to trust them.

He reached out and rubbed Shan Yi's head.

"Of course I am qualified, Zenitsu."
