Chapter 158 Departure
Momoyama.
A yellow-haired boy was begging a short old man with a full anger value.
"Grandpa, can I not participate in the final selection? I'm really scared... I feel my legs are going weak before I even set off!!"
My wife Zenitsu cried and begged while holding the old man's prosthesis.
"Baga, how many times have I told you not to hug my artificial limb? Can't you just hug another leg instead?!"
The old man really wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was this kid Zenitsu always like this? Seeing that the guy's snot was about to drip onto his prosthesis, the old man quickly swung his leg.
Zenitsu rolled forward like a gourd.
No, it should be a yo-yo!!
Because this guy was ready to stand up and rush over again with his agility.
"Stop, if you come over here, I will beat you so hard that you can't get up!!" The old man shouted hurriedly when he saw this.
Zenitsu was stunned for a moment, "Can't...get up? If you can't get up... does that mean... you don't have to participate in the selection?"
Hearing this, Zenitsu's eyes lit up, and then he lay on the ground without hesitation, rolling around madly, foaming at the mouth, and wailing: "Grandpa, I can't get up. The kick you just gave me was too heavy. I need to... rest for a while!"
While wailing, he observed his grandfather's expression. Seeing that his grandfather was indifferent, Zenitsu acted even more vigorously.
The old man really couldn't stand this guy anymore. After so long, he was still like this. He could only use the secret weapon given by his eldest disciple.
"Ahem, Zenitsu, your senior brother told me that there are many outstanding girls participating in the audition this time. If you really don't want to go, forget it. Your senior brother wanted to introduce you to them!!"
The old man pretended to be regretful and said this, but before he finished speaking, a flash of lightning appeared.
I saw a spotless and hesitant young man carrying a bag, with his back to the old man, and said in a deep voice:
"It is the responsibility of practitioners like me to slay demons and monsters. For the future of mankind, I will bravely embark on this journey. Grandpa, don't worry, I will rush to the selection site as soon as possible!!
Take care, Grandpa. I'm leaving now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cloud of dust and the figure had already run away for a long distance.
The old man looked at the figure going away, and suddenly felt how beautiful the world was and how fresh the air was. He laughed happily and said:
"This kid has really trained his speed well. He finally left. Let's see how your senior brother will deal with you then!! I also need to take a break for a while... I can finally enjoy my pension all by myself!!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the cabin, but his back looked a little desolate.
……
Sagiri Mountain
The same farewell moment, but a different scene.
“Tanjiro, actually I didn’t want you to participate in the final selection at first. You are a gentle child, and I am worried that after you embark on the road of ghost hunting, I will hear unfortunate news about you one day.
After all, I have lost too many children to me. It was not until Feng Xiaodao-san said that I realized that gentleness is not necessarily a bad thing and can create miracles! "
Urokodaki Sakonji looked deeply at Tanjiro in front of him, with indescribable emotions flashing in his eyes.
He slowly stretched out his calloused hands and gently stroked Tanjiro's head. His voice was low and firm, as if carrying the vicissitudes of life:
"But in the past two years, you have done an excellent job. You really made me look at you in a new light. You... are... an amazing child!
No matter what, you must return victoriously. Your sister Nezuko and I are waiting for you here!! "
"Teacher Urokodaki, thank you for your teaching over the past two years. I will never let you down!" Tanjiro said with a firm bow.
"I believe you can do it, but just in case, I mean just in case you encounter a special situation, you must save your life, you still have a sister and family!"
After saying that, Urokodaki Sakonji hugged Tanjiro tightly, and a warm power spread in Tanjiro's heart. This feeling was like the warm sun in winter, giving him endless courage and motivation.
Tanjiro's eyes were moist, but he quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and smiled brightly: "Teacher, please believe me. I am not fighting alone. I will go all out with the expectations of Santo and all the seniors!"
After saying this, he no longer waited for Urokodaki Sakonji's response. He waved his hand and ran out of the forest, his figure gradually disappearing in the distance.
Urokodaki Sakonji stood there, a look of surprise and confusion in his eyes.
He muttered to himself: "Tanjiro... why do you know... the names of those children? You are such a unique child."
……
The Demon Slayer Corps Action Team is located in the back hill.
A swift figure shuttled quickly in the mountains and forests, making a middle school sound from time to time.
"Ahahahaha, Ichiro, my breathing method is interesting, isn't it?! I am the king of the forest! Ulala..."
At the foot of the mountain, Ichiro shouted silently, "Inosuke, stop making trouble and come back quickly to prepare for the final selection!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a wild boar head fell from the sky and landed directly on Youzhilang's back, shouting excitedly:
"Ahahaha, finally I can go out and chop something else, the final selection... Can I beat up the other selection participants?"
Yuichiro threw the guy off his back and said angrily, "If you want the teacher to beat you up so that you can't get out of bed for three days, you can try it!!"
Fortunately, Ichiro knew this guy's background and had been with Inosuke for a long time, otherwise if the other team members heard this, they would definitely be taught a lesson.
"You use that guy to scare me again, Dalang, I'm going to fight you to the death! Hahaha... let's fight!" The wild boar boy shouted passionately.
"Stop it, if the teacher is nearby he will punish you!! Also you are not allowed to call me Taro, you have to call me senior brother or Ichiro!!" Ichiro didn't care about Inosuke's provocation, he didn't know how many times he had heard such words.
"Alala, you actually look down on me, the Wild Boar King, so much! As soon as I pass the selection, I will come to the action team to challenge you. Dalang must be scared...hahaha!"
"Haha, I'm waiting for you. You'd better not commit a foul in the selection, otherwise you will embarrass the teacher and regret it!!" Youzhilang reminded this guy again, mainly because this guy was too unreliable.
"Alala, I get it. Why have you become as talkative as that guy? I have to go back...it's time to eat. Whoever arrives last will wash the dishes!!"
Inosuke said this impatiently and jumped out, not caring whether Ichiro agreed or not.
You Yilang shook his head helplessly, took a deep breath and quickened his pace to catch up.
Similarly, at the home of Demon Slayer Corps member Fuuto.
Feng Xiaodao was watching his daughter Kanae explaining to Kanao various things to pay attention to when participating in the selection.
What made Feng Xiaodao happy was that there was less worry in Kanae's eyes, because Kanae had changed a lot since she came back and began to think and make decisions on her own.
"Okay, Kanae, you have to believe in Kanao. With Kanao's current strength, a final selection will be easy!"
Feng Xiaodao really didn't know what Kanae had to worry about. This little girl was very strong at all.
"Yeah, that's it, then. Come on Kanao!!"
"Thank you, I will definitely not let you down!" Kanao gave a faint smile.
