Kamado Tanjiro:

Luo Ya looked at Tanjiro Kamado's expression and chuckled, "Alright, alright, don't look so nervous. We don't even know if we'll get anything tonight. There are a lot of ghosts, but they're not like cabbages that you can just walk around and run into one every few steps. Besides, didn't I say before that ghosts look a lot like humans and aren't really that scary?"

After thinking for a moment, Roya added at the end, "Of course, except when they eat people."

Tanjiro Kamado's face darkened, and he looked at Roya with a speechless expression.

Roya smiled and suddenly said to Tanjiro Kamado, "You must keep breathing at all times. You must try your best to master it. Only when you master breathing can I teach you the Breath of the Sun."

Tanjiro Kamado removed the branch blocking his path, kicked away the pebble in front of him, and gave a smirk.

As they left the mountain and headed towards the next one, Roya raised an eyebrow slightly.

His gaze unconsciously drifted to another mountain peak, and he fell into deep thought.

There seems to be a strange aura over there?

Seeing that Roya had fallen silent, Tanjiro Kamado asked curiously, "Brother Roya, what's wrong?"

Roya shook his head and continued walking forward, saying to Tanjiro Kamado behind him, "It's nothing, I just felt something was off over there."

After staying in town for a while, Roya asked Tanjiro Kamado, "Are you hungry? Do you want to grab something to eat? We might be staying up very late."

Tanjiro Kamado sniffed the air, smelling the enticing aroma wafting from the shop. A little embarrassed, he touched his pocket and said, "But I don't have any money with me."

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow and said, "I asked you if you were hungry, not if you brought any money."

Tanjiro Kamado was taken aback, then his face lit up with emotion. He reached out to grab Roya's hand, but Roya dodged it with a look of disgust. Roya said speechlessly, "It's just a meal, it's not that big of a deal."

It wasn't too late at this time, and the shops hadn't closed yet. After Roya led Tanjiro Kamado inside for a hearty meal, they prepared to continue their journey up the mountain.

Seeing that Nian Luoya was dressed in a Demon Slayer Corps uniform with a long sword hanging at his waist, the shop owner casually said, "Going up the mountain so late? You must be tired. I saw a group of people dressed like you earlier, and they seemed to be going up the mountain along this path as well."

Luo Ya, who had been somewhat disheartened, immediately perked up and asked the shop owner, "How many people are there?"

The shop owner was surprised that Luo Ya was interested in what he had just said casually. After thinking for a moment, the shop owner shook his head and said, "I didn't look closely at the exact number of people, but there were probably four. The one in the lead was a very pretty girl who always had a smile on her face."

"Well."

Roya grabbed Tanjiro Kamado's sleeve and prepared to run up the mountain. Roya said to Tanjiro Kamado, "Damn it, we have to hurry."

Tanjiro Kamado looked confused and asked curiously, "Why is it broken?"

Luo Ya said with a serious expression, "The girl the shop owner mentioned is quite strong. If we arrive late, even if there are ghosts, she will probably be killed."

Kamado Tanjiro:

The light from the oil lamp could only illuminate a few meters around it; beyond that, it became blurry and indistinct. Strange things would always appear in the dark forest.

They traversed the mountain path and continued upwards, their footsteps clearly visible along the way. Roya quickened his pace slightly, while Tanjiro Kamado followed behind with some difficulty.

Although Kamado Tanjiro is always going up and down the mountain to sell charcoal and is very fast, it depends on who he is compared to. Running so fast all the way, even Kamado Tanjiro felt a little tired.

Luo Ya glanced at Tanjiro Kamado indifferently, and continued walking, saying, "Don't stop breathing, just keep the same rhythm. The more flustered you are, the faster your energy will be depleted."

Luo Ya paused, glanced at the bright moon hanging high above, and continued, "It's the same when fighting ghosts. If you can't defeat your opponent with one strike and the battle is at a disadvantage, you must remain calm."

Tanjiro Kamado smiled helplessly and nodded.

Luo Ya walked quickly, and the others hadn't been on the mountain for very long, so Luo Ya soon caught up with the group.

The four Demon Slayer Corps members noticed the movement behind them and turned around, their hands instinctively resting on their Nichirin Blades at their waists.

Seeing this, Luo Ya smiled and waved to the crowd, saying, "Everyone, don't be nervous. Look at me, I don't have any ghostly aura on me, do I?"

After saying that, he winked at Tanjiro Kamado beside him, stepped forward and stood behind him, giving Shinobu Kocho a smile.

Luo Ya spoke again, "We meet again, very beautiful lady."

The Demon Slayer Corps member beside him couldn't help but frown and retort, "Hey, why are you calling the Insect Pillar 'Lord' like that?"

The Pillars all held extraordinary positions and leadership roles. Shinobu Kocho did indeed show a beautiful smile. Although her smile always gave Roya a feeling of insincerity, it was undeniable that she was very beautiful when she smiled.

Shinobu Kocho said to Roya, "Oh my god, what are you doing here, future Naruto Hashira?"

The three Demon Slayer Corps members beside him were slightly taken aback upon hearing this. The Demon Slayer Corps member who had spoken earlier choked and silently took a few steps back.

Normally, a team member would be reprimanded for saying such a thing, but the other party is not ordinary, and besides, the Insect Pillar himself is not angry, so he will not make trouble for himself.

Roya smiled and pointed to Tanjiro beside him, then said to Shinobu Kocho, "Isn't this a way to train the newcomers?"

Shinobu Kocho frowned, turning her gaze to Tanjiro Kamado's face. After scrutinizing him for a moment, and then looking at his attire, she said strangely, "He shouldn't be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps yet, right? His strength is so weak."

Tanjiro Kamado was taken aback when he was told on the spot that he was weak, which must have been a blow to this simple and honest boy.

Roya dragged out Tanjiro Kamado, who was hiding behind him wiping away tears, and pointed at him, saying, "Don't underestimate this guy. I only brought him along because I saw that he had extraordinary talent and was born to hunt demons."

Kamado Tanjiro gave everyone a simple and honest smile and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Kamado Tanjiro. I hope we can get to know each other in the future."

Shinobu Kocho nodded slightly, while the other three Demon Slayer Corps members looked at her with a hint of curiosity.

Shinobu Kocho didn't dwell on Tanjiro Kamado's matter, and continued to ask, "Then why are you following behind us?"

Luo Ya said, "As you can see, I brought my disciple out to train, and I also want him to see what a real ghost is."

Shinobu Kocho nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a faint smile, "Alright then, let's travel together."

Roya took a few steps forward without any hesitation, walked to Shinobu Kocho's side, and said to Tanjiro Kamado behind him, "Tanjiro Kamado, keep breathing. Remember that. I'm going to chat with this beautiful lady first."

Kamado Tanjiro:

Tanjiro Kamado had never seen anything so absurd in his life.

The other Demon Slayer Corps members raised their eyebrows when they heard Roya's words.

Although Shinobu Kocho always looks smiling, it is precisely because she always has a smile that she gives people the feeling that she is not easy to get along with.

Because you can't tell what someone is going to do next just by looking at their expression.

Roya moved closer to Shinobu Kocho, looking at her rather handsome face, and asked, "Insect Pillar, is there a problem with your visit?"

Shinobu Kocho glanced indifferently at the blond-haired man beside her, a smile still playing on her lips, and said, "Our lord's mission is for us to investigate and eliminate the ghosts in the surrounding area. Moreover, it is said that there are traces of Upper Moon demons here."

The moment the Upper Moon was mentioned, everyone's expression turned sour.

Roya found it somewhat strange. His golden pupils stared into Shinobu Kocho's purple eyes as he said, "If it were an Upper Moon, even you wouldn't have been able to survive, would you?"

Shinobu Kocho paused for a moment, then nodded and continued, "We're just gathering information to see if it's accurate. We've also deployed water jets this time."

Roya subconsciously looked behind him, and Shinobu Kocho said somewhat speechlessly, "The Water Pillar isn't here; we split up."

Luo Ya gave a casual "oh," then asked curiously, "What would you do if you encountered an Upper Moon?"

Shinobu Kocho shrugged and said, "Killing demons is our duty as demon slayers. Even if we die here, it's only natural. Also, future Naruhashi-sama, please stop asking such stupid questions."

Luo Ya was speechless, and could only give an awkward smile, inwardly cursing the other person for being so sarcastic, saying that he had killed the conversation in one fell swoop.

Roya stepped back and walked to Tanjiro Kamado's side. He pulled Tanjiro, who was chatting with three members of the Demon Slayer Corps, aside and said with a serious expression, "Tanjiro Kamado, I'll teach you."

Tanjiro Kamado looked at Roya with a resentful expression, but Roya pretended not to notice, and the group continued walking forward.

The four people in front remained silent, while only Roya and Tanjiro Kamado continued to teach Tanjiro Kamado how to use breathing techniques.

Shinobu Kocho, standing ahead, was also somewhat curious, listening to the conversation between the two.

Roya's teaching wasn't exactly outstanding, at least that's what Shinobu Kocho thought, but after just a brief listening, she was able to discover the strangeness of this breathing technique.

Unfortunately, she had already gone down her own path and wasn't interested in this type of breathing technique.

Is Sun Breathing easy to learn?

Actually, that's not the case; only Tanjiro Kamado was able to learn it.

When Yoriichi Tsugikuni was alive, he always wanted to teach someone to master his Sun Breathing, but he couldn't find anyone in the Demon Slayer Corps who could learn it. In the end, out of desperation, he had to develop various derivative breathing techniques based on the other person's area of ​​expertise.

By combining breathing techniques with their original swordsmanship, five basic breathing techniques—water, fire, rock, wind, and lightning—were developed.

It can be said that Sun Breathing is the ancestor of all breathing techniques; to put it bluntly, all other breathing techniques are castrated versions of Sun Breathing.

The only sound along the way was their conversation; the other three Demon Slayer Corps members, however, slowed their pace out of curiosity.

However, one of the team members quickly frowned and said with some confusion, "Lord Naruto, this doesn't seem to be Thunder Breathing, does it?"

Roya glanced at the other person with some surprise. The other person gave a somewhat shy smile and said, "I am a swordsman who practices the Breath of Thunder. Although my Breath of Thunder is not very good, I can still distinguish the basics."

Luo Ya smiled and didn't explain much to him. Seeing that Luo Ya didn't want to explain, the other person retreated with some regret.

Although he encountered Shinobu Kocho, Roya was quite lucky; he found a demon after walking a short distance up the mountain.

The other person was openly squatting on the ground, holding a spoon in his hand, while a huge pot was cooking over a campfire on the flat ground.

The pot was boiling, and steam kept rising.

Unlock new keywords again.

Deep in the mountains, in the dark of night, all alone, with a steaming pot in the air.

Good heavens, it's definitely a ghost.

Shinobu's expression turned cold at a visible speed, and she drew her sword without thinking.

But another figure was faster than her; with just a clap of thunder, Roya appeared in front of Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu's face turned cold, and she looked at Roya with a serious expression. She said coldly, "What are you doing?"

Roya smiled and said to Shinobu Kocho, "I'll leave this demon to him. It'll be good for Tanjiro Kamado to hone his skills."

Shinobu Kocho fell silent. She looked at the demon with a disgusted expression. Roja stared at Shinobu with his crimson-gold eyes, and in the end, Shinobu could only nod helplessly.
