Infinite: Start as a ghost

Two years have passed, a full two years, and Nezuko has finally woken up.

His hard work paid off.

Urokodaki Sakonji also came out and saw Jiang Jiu standing to the side, so he asked warily.

Who are you?

Tanjiro burst into laughter through his tears, immediately grabbed Nezuko's hand and ran to Urokodaki Sakonji, saying, "Master Urokodaki, this is the demon you introduced to me."

Jiang Jiu looked at Tanjiro's hands with envy, sighing repeatedly.

"Damn it, when can I walk one too?"

After expressing his feelings, he bowed slightly to Urokodaki, giving him a polite bow.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Jiu."

Urokodaki Sakonji's vigilance did not decrease but instead increased sharply. He immediately drew his Nichirin Blade and confronted Jiang Jiu.

Tanjiro immediately stepped in front of Jiang Jiu: "Master Urokodaki, what are you trying to do? He is my benefactor."

Jiang Jiu frowned: "Mr. Linlong, it's almost dawn. Could you let me inside first?"

Urokodaki took a deep breath and finally sheathed his sword.

"Come in first."

After everyone went inside, Urokodaki couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's so good that you came back alive."

Jiang Jiu broke the silence: "Mr. Urokodaki, may I learn Water Breathing from you?"

Urokodaki Sakonji asked warily, "How can you prove you pose no threat to humans?"

Jiang Jiu looked at Nezuko: "How can you prove that she poses no threat to humans?"

Linlong said, "You are different from her. She is innocent and naive. I don't understand you."

Jiang Jiu asked, "And then?"

Urokodaki was silent for a moment: "I can't trust you."

Jiang Jiu sighed: "You know I've always lived on Tengxi Mountain, and now you can see that I could come out at any time but I haven't."

Urokodaki asked, "How do I know if you're just putting on a show to deceive us?"

Jiang Jiu countered, "And the purpose?"

Yes, but what's the purpose?

Rin-taki Sakonji just couldn't understand this.

Jiang Jiu continued, "I am a low-level ghost who doesn't even know Blood Demon Arts. My strength is weak and I pose no threat to you."

"Tanjiro-kun knows my purpose: I want to find the Demon Doctor Tamayo to break Muzan's Blood Manipulation Curse."

Urokodaki Sakonji waved his hand: "Wait, let me think about it."

Chapter 15 Training! Water Breathing

Jiang Jiu didn't take it seriously and laughed, "Then take your time to think about it. I can only stay indoors during the day, so you have plenty of time to consider this issue."

After considering it for a long time, Urokodaki Sakonji couldn't come up with any good ideas, but finally agreed with his statement.

Jiang Jiu spent the entire day feeling utterly bored.

On Fujikashi Mountain, large groves of trees and mist block out the sunlight.

Now, he is forced to stay in a small room, which is very uncomfortable.

However, there is one advantage.

Tanjiro went to train with Urokodaki, and Nezuko, who was also a demon, was naturally left in the house.

Jiang Jiu wanted to reach out and touch her head, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Holy crap, you're so cute! Even though I've become a ghost, you've managed to make me feel "sorry" because of your cuteness.

Nezuko stared at Jiang Jiu curiously, looking him up and down.

It occasionally makes "hmm hmm hmm" sounds.

Holy crap, this is so cute it's killing me!

Finally, Jiang Jiu couldn't resist reaching out his sinful right hand and placing it on her head, gently stroking it.

Nezuko didn't dodge; instead, she closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying it.

After touching her a few times, Jiang Jiu controlled her impulse and withdrew her sinful hand.

Nezuko rolled around on the floor, looking rather bored. Jiang Jiu looked at the pot in front of him and smiled slightly.

As darkness fell, Urokodaki Sakonji and Kamado Tanjiro entered the house together.

Tanjiro had been itching to come in for a long time.

His nose was incredibly sensitive, so sensitive that he could even smell ghosts.

So he could smell the fragrance from a great distance.

That was the aroma of food, an aroma far surpassing anything he had ever eaten before.

"Wow, what did you cook? Why does it smell so good?" Tanjiro's mouth watered.

Linlong asked in surprise, "Is it really that fragrant? It's only slightly better than my cooking. Why are you exaggerating to this extent?"

"Yes, it smells amazing." Tanjiro savored the aroma. "It's even better than my mother's cooking."

It turned out that Jiang Jiu had cooked to pass the time before they returned.

Despite being a homebody, he cooks quite often.

Although he had never used this kind of stew pot before, it didn't stop him from making some stews.

Tanjiro and Urokodaki ate with great enjoyment and relish.

Jiang Jiu and Nezuko are demons who have absolutely no interest in food, so they just watch the two of them eat and drink heartily.

"Mr. Linlong, what's your decision?" Jiang Jiu asked when he had a moment.

When we are eating, we are at one of the times when our vigilance is at its lowest.

"It's not that you can't, but I'd like to ask you, why do you want to learn breathing techniques?"

"I want to become stronger."

"Why do you want to become stronger?"

Jiang Jiu said sincerely, "Mr. Linlong, for you, the only mortal enemies are ghosts and monsters."

"But for me, humans and ghosts may both be my enemies."

"I want to ask Ms. Tamayo to help me solve the problem of the curse, but what if she can't do it either? I have to find some way to become stronger and protect myself."

"There are some extremists in the Demon Slayer Corps. They don't try to understand whether a demon is good or evil. They will try their best to eliminate it as soon as they see it."

"Actually, the Demon Slayer Corps' approach is not wrong. Apart from Nezuko, myself, and Tamayo, all the demons I have seen are monsters that cannot control their desires."

"They cannot control their impulses and lose their minds when they see living people."

"Since you have seen that I can control this impulse, I hope you can put down your guard against me and teach me breathing techniques and swordsmanship."

"I can guarantee that I will only use it for self-defense and will not kill anyone unless my own life is in danger."

Urokodaki was silent for a moment: "Alright, to be honest, there's really no reason to refuse you, so I agree."

"I'll teach you after dinner."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I hope you can give me a Nichirin Blade."

Urokodaki was taken aback: "What do you need a Nichirin Blade for? You want to kill demons with me too?"

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Since I've made up my mind to ask Miss Tamayo for help, then Mu... he will definitely not let me go, and it's inevitable that I'll be on the opposite side of the demon."

Linlong nodded; Jiang Jiu's reasons were perfectly valid.

"Alright, but Tanjiro's sword is already reserved, so you definitely won't get one this time. You can use mine for now, since I haven't killed a demon in a long time anyway."

Jiang Jiu nodded her thanks.

Tanjiro exclaimed happily, "Great! Sir, you can fight alongside me now!"

Immediately, the atmosphere among the three became harmonious and joyful.

Nezuko was confused, but seeing the three of them happy, she also giggled and laughed happily.

After dinner, the sun had completely set, and Jiang Jiu followed Linlong out of the house.

Tanjiro, holding Nezuko's little hand, followed her out of the house.

Nezuko has been cooped up inside all day; it's time to let her out for some fresh air and play.

Urokodaki said, "Before I teach you the breathing technique, I want to understand your strength first."

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "That's for sure, sir, please be careful."

The two sides spread out and assumed their fighting stances.

Urokodaki instructed Tanjiro, "Watch how others fight, and learn from what you can."

Jiang Jiu suddenly shouted, "Watch out..."

After saying that, he rushed forward first.

Chapter 16: The Marks Activated, the World Becomes Transparent

Jiang Jiu suddenly charged forward, swinging with tremendous force, directly slamming into Linlong.

Urokodaki jumped to the side and slashed down with his sword.

Jiang Jiu tightened her abdomen, barely dodging the slash, and the moment her feet touched the ground, she immediately charged forward again.
