The suffering of flesh and blood begins with Demon Slayer forging swords

The group left the hut and arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain, where Tanjiro was confident in his own strength, carrying heavy charcoal on his back and forth on the difficult mountain roads.

But he couldn't keep up with the scales, not only that, but he wasted a lot of strength so that he wouldn't fall too far behind, as for Ye Wen carrying a wooden box bigger than Tanjiro, he always maintained the same speed as Tanjiro, and he didn't even breathe heavily, and he didn't seem to care at all if he would lose the scales even more.

Even the beans in the box didn't feel any violent collision and shaking, it was as if they were walking on the ground.

But what Tanjiro thinks is that in the future, he can't always let Ye Wen carry your beans, sooner or later one day he will carry your beans on his back like this, can he really be like Ye Wen without shaking at all?

I guess I have to let you endure it again. Tanjiro can't help but feel sad that Youdouko seems to have been patient since she was a child, and as the eldest daughter, Youdouko not only helps her mother with household chores every day, but also occasionally follows Tanjiro and them up the mountains and takes care of her younger siblings.

I don't know how many times the hemp leaf pattern kimono she wears now has been torn, but I have the impression that she has sewn it by herself, and every time Tanjiro proposes to buy a new one. She always smiled and refused.

"I love this kimono so much that instead of buying me new clothes, I should let my younger siblings eat more. "

You bean is hardworking and kind-natured, I will definitely make you a human, and one day, I will definitely help you buy you a beautiful kimono!

Tanjiro kept driving the speed of his hands and feet with this thought.

After running all day, Tsutaki finally stopped in front of a hut at the foot of the mountain, which seemed to be his home, and Tanjiro staggered to the ground.

"This..... Now..... Are you willing to approve of me?"

However, Scales opened the door of the hut and said with the same steady breath

, "The test has just begun, let's go up the mountain!" "

Well, thank you, Tanjiro come on, your beans and I are waiting for you here.

Tanjiro almost fainted after hearing this, but he barely cheered up when he thought that he had to be accepted by Scales Zuo.

After that, Tanjiro and Scales Satsushi climbed the mountain behind the hut - Mt. Sagiri.

Mt. Sasagiri, as its name suggests, is shrouded in mist all year round, and Scales Tsukashi has been moving rapidly along the mountain road with a steady pace, and Tanjiro seems to him to be a real tengu.

"I'm so tired, and I can't use my legs... The head is groggy. I

don't know how long it took, but Tsuki finally stopped and turned to look at Tanjiro.

"You walk back to the house down the hill from here, and this time I won't wait until dawn.

Tanjiro

was about to open his mouth to ask a question, but Scales Taki Zuo seemed to have disappeared in the near future, and the final time limit was obviously disappointed with Tanjiro's previous performance.

Although it was late at night, Tanjiro, who grew up in the mountains, was not too scared, and it probably wouldn't take much time to descend the mountain the way he came.

"Ah, I see, he thought I was going to get lost in the fog.

Tanjiro couldn't help but laugh, if he knew that Tomioka had already sold him out, he wouldn't have thought so.

"Just go back before dawn, it's simple!! it's just a matter of having feet, my nose is so smart that I've already memorized the smell of Mr. Scales." "

Even if he loses it, he can't go the wrong way, and now Tanjiro is full of self-confidence, and he runs down the mountain with his legs, and then his foot suddenly trips over something.

"Huh!?"

Several rocks flew out of nowhere, and when Tanjiro fell, the ground collapsed unawares.

"It's a trap!"

Tanjiro instantly understood, I see, it's just that it's too easy to go down the mountain, but it's not necessarily if there is a mechanism.

Just thinking of a way to crawl out of the hole, Tanjiro felt like he had hooked something again.

"Oops, I've been caught in the trap again!" "With

a thud, a log hanging in the air slammed into Tanjiro from behind, knocking him into a pale.

If you hit the trap like this, you won't be able to go down before the sun rises!

Tanjiro gasped for breath and reluctantly got up to continue descending.

"It's so uncomfortable, I'm almost out of breath, the air on this mountain is very thin, much thinner than Mt. Untori! No wonder when I come up, my head is dizzy and I have difficulty breathing. Can I go back? Maybe I'll be unconscious on the way.

Tanjiro dragged his heavy steps, barely moving forward.

"No, I must go back, Brother Ye Wenge and You Douzi are still waiting for me! Adjust your breathing and smell the smell of the trap clearly, the trap set by someone will definitely taste different from the surroundings. Soon

Tanjiro could discern the trap, but he knew that he was still in the trap, and Tanjiro could only avoid it once out of several times, falling into the pothole several times, being hit by flying stones and logs, and being drawn by the rebounding bamboo.

Even so, Tanjiro remained unyielding and staggered towards the foot of the mountain.

Covering the sleeping beans with a quilt, Scales and Ye Wen were cooking sukiyaki in the hut, talking and laughing.

"It turns out that you also killed a lower string

back then?" "Hahaha, the hero didn't mention the courage back then, and now I can only act as a cultivator, and it is also the lord who loves me and can still hold a lot of power for people who retire, which is really unaccustomed." "

........

The eastern sky began to glow white, and the birds in the mountains had already woken up and chirped.

Still can't do it—just as Scales Zuo was thinking about it recently, the door to the hut creaked open, and Tanjiro was covered in mud and blood, and it wasn't easy to gain a foothold.

"I... I'm back..."

, but it's probably on the verge of limiting, Tanjiro slowly knelt on the ground after saying this.

“....... I'll admit you're pretty set, Tanjiro Kamado.

Scales looked down at the boy and said quietly, but Tanjiro lost consciousness before he could hear it.

When he woke up, he found that there were only Douzi and Scales lying in the futon in the room.

"Brother Ye Wen, is he leaving?"

"Yes, there are still a lot of things to do in the Ghost Slayer Team, and he doesn't want to affect your training, so he left while you were asleep."

"I would also like to thank him for accompanying me so far.

"It's okay, you'll naturally be able to see him when your strength improves, he's in an important department of the Ghost Slayer, let him see your growth next time!"

"Yes!".
