Chapter 107 I want to become stronger!
"Ah!"
Following the sound of a sneeze, the bonfire that had been burning steadily swayed, a string of translucent "crystals" on the pig's nose fluttered in the wind, and people were shivering under the blanket.
Yuichiro, who was grilling a fish on a sharp branch by the campfire, silently moved the fish away when he saw Inosuke sneeze.
"I told you I'd catch a cold..."
Hearing this, Inosuke, who was wrapped in a blanket, trembled his head, and threw the blanket away, exposing himself to the cold air. He stood up and pointed at Ichiro who was covered by the blanket and said loudly.
"Shut up, Ichiro! I don't have a cold! I just have water in my nose!"
He pulled off the blanket covering his head, and before Ichiro could say anything, Muichiro, who was warming himself by the fire, smiled foolishly and joined in.
"That's right~That's right~"
Seeing that Muichiro was so understanding, Inosuke stopped shaking and responded to Muichiro with a big laugh.
"Hehe, Diichiro is still smarter!"
Seeing his brother like this, Youchiro closed his mouth which was open as if to say something, crumpled the blanket into a ball and hugged it in his arms, sat on the ground, rolled his eyes and complained to him.
"Hey, you...if you can tell the difference between us two brothers, just call us by our names! What are Brother Ichiro and Brother Ichiro?"
In the face of Ichiro's complaints, Inosuke didn't care at all. He just glanced at him and shouted loudly.
"Shut up, Oichiro!"
Who is making noise?
With a roar in his heart, Youchiro angrily threw the blanket to the ground.
Just at this time, the three people who had gone to explore the location returned to the camp.
Looking at Ichiro who was breathing rapidly and Inosuke and Muichiro who were laughing, Tianyin walked forward with a confused look on his face, picked up the blanket from the ground and wrapped it around Inosuke.
She approached him worriedly, touched his forehead, and poked Inosuke's head through the hood in a reproachful manner.
"If you have a cold, you should wrap yourself in a blanket!"
Feeling the warmth of Amane's body, even when being lectured, Inosuke remained like a well-behaved young animal, lowering his head and murmuring softly.
"it is good……"
"That's right~ This is a good kid~"
Since another casual chat, I learned that Inosuke was an orphan who was abandoned in the mountains and raised by wild boars. He was even taught to speak by a kind family in the mountains.
Since then, Amane would always indulge Inosuke a little more, and Inosuke would also listen to Amane's words and do whatever she said.
The well-behaved look now is proof of this, and Youichiro, who was flipping fat fish on the side, gnashed his teeth in displeasure when he saw this look.
Tsk...you stupid pig...you really know how to pretend!
But what made him even more upset was yet to come...
Just when the Tokito brothers were holding the grilled fish, two wooden swords flew from somewhere and stabbed directly under their feet. Immediately, their hands holding the grilled fish dropped and their faces became darker than charcoal.
No, it can't be...
Just as the two were praying in their hearts, Busei's hearty voice rang out.
"Oh! It's time for training again. Come on, my two stepsons!"
After picking up the knife subconsciously, the Tokito brothers slowly turned their heads towards the direction of Busei Kawai like rusty machines, but saw the other party's unhappy expression.
The look in his eyes clearly said, if you don’t come over here quickly, I will chop you to death!
Forced by Busei's strength, the two had no choice but to walk towards Busei with swords in hand.
He covered his waist with his hands, the pain from being hit on the ribs by a wooden sword last night had not yet subsided.
Seeing the two of them like this, Busei frowned and shouted at them.
"I'm going to teach you the basic sword technique of Breathing of Wind, but it's also the most important one. Pay attention!"
Hearing Busei's serious tone, the two men were no longer depressed. They straightened up with seriousness in their eyes. They joined the Demon Slayer Corps not just because they were afraid of wolves.
Looking at the two serious people, Busei relaxed his brows and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to start, he looked at the wolf beside him who was thinking about something, and raised his eyebrows.
He turned his body to face the wolf who was not paying attention to this side, put the wooden sword on his shoulder, leaned down, turned his head and whispered to the Tokito brothers.
"Okay..."
Seeing the look on Busei's face, how could the Tokito brothers not understand his intention? They looked at the defenseless wolf and worried secretly.
Call ~
His breathing became slightly heavier, and Busei began to breathe out rhythmically. Although the worried Tokito brothers did not notice it, Busei noticed that the two of them had subconsciously followed him and entered a state of full concentration on breathing.
The wooden sword on his shoulder trembled slightly, and a green wind surged over it, sending out gusts of wind that attracted Inosuke on the other side.
But he didn't look at Busei, but stared at the defenseless wolf.
The next moment, Busei took a step and disappeared from the spot in an instant like an arrow, leaving behind a fierce hurricane that tore the earth apart. At the same time, Busei appeared beside the wolf with his sword raised and slashing!
Breathing of wind? Type 1? Dust whirlwind? Slash!
The wooden sword wrapped in green wind was about to chop towards the wolf's face. The pupils of the Tokito brothers shrank, but the next moment their mouths opened wide.
The wolf, who had no reaction at first, quickly bent down to avoid the blow from Busou's sword when he was about to be hit. Then, using the force from his back, he used his waist and thigh to kick the blade of Busou's wooden sword, almost knocking the sword out of his hand.
Taking a few steps back and steadying his body, Busei looked at the wolf with a smile, as if he knew that the other party would never be attacked by him.
Then he returned to his serious expression, turned around and looked at the stunned Tokito brothers, pointed his wooden sword at them, and ordered them to try their best to imitate the form and meaning of the sword move just now.
This brought Wolf back to his senses from his thoughts. He had already connected the scene he had seen before with Kokushibo's description.
After he killed Miss Yongzhen and Lord Isshin, and thus fell into the state of Shura, for some unknown reason, the Black Undying Slash that was supposed to be in Genichirō's hands also fell into his hands.
He then thought back to his adoptive father who had left before the battle began, and how Kokushibo saw himself as the only figure on the burning castle tower.
The conclusion is obvious...
Even if I chose that path, my foster father... still died in my hands...
At this moment, the wolf had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and at this moment, a pig's head suddenly came into his sight.
I almost pulled out my Kusabimaru subconsciously, but in the end I realized it was Inosuke.
And the purpose of Inosuke coming to him was to express his inner thoughts very frankly at this moment.
"I want to become stronger!"
