Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 53 { Tankana }

The day before departure to Tanjiro's misson...

(Tanjiro's POV)

I'm now fully recover now. Just have to find Shinobu and get a body check-up. I trace her scent and found her in her clinic like room.

Knocking the door, I ask, 'Shinobu, I here for check-up. Can I come in?'

She faces toward me and answer, 'Sure, Tanjiro-kun. Come in and have a sit.' I quickly grab a stool nearby and sit infront of her. She looks at me up and down trying to determine my body's condition. She also pats my body to check whether or not my body still has injuries.

'Do you feel any discomfort or pain in your body?' she asked me.

I shake my head in denial and reply, 'No, I don't feel anything off about my body. My stamina is back and all my injuries are heal.' with a happy tone.

She smiles and say, 'I see, please do your best from now on. I wish you good luck for tomorrow mission.'

Rising my hand, I ask, 'Yes! Thank you very much! Ah! Oh yeah, Shinobu. There's one thing that I want to ask. Have you heard of Breath Of The Sun before?'

She opens her mouth and answer, 'I haven't...'

Sweat begin to drip from my face and I quickly say, 'Then... How about Dance Of The Sun God?'

She waves her hand and reply, 'I haven't...' while giving me the same smile.

(Narrator's POV)

Tanjiro explained his circumstances from the beginning. He really sucked at telling the whole story.

(Tanjiro's POV)

'I see. So you used your father's breath style and don't know the breath style's history. If you ask a breath of fire user, you may discover something to your interest. I don't know Breath Of The Sun nor Dance Of The Sun God but there is Breath Of Flames.' she said while in a curious thinking pose.

I look down on the ground feeling a bit disappointed for not knowing my breath style's history, 'Oh... I see.'

She gives me a sad smile and apologize, 'I don't know the details either... I'm sorry. It's just in that situation, there's a very strict rule about the phrasing. For the details, it may be a good idea to visit Rengoku-san, The Flame Pillar. I shall ask the crow. But the reply may take some time.' I smile and bow toward her and leave the room. While humming in the hallway, someone bumped me and walk past me. I dodged him but he made the effort to bump me... Huh? That guy just now was from the final selection... The boy who punched the white haired girl. He got blessed with amazing physique in just a short amount of time... My physique more or less still the same and didn't even change at all since the final selection. It just quite sad. But what's with his smell... His smell is strange...

I yell at him, 'It's been a while! I'm glad you look okay! Stay healthy!' He stopped for a while and continue walking away from me while ignoring me. I scratch my head and sigh. I turn around and visit the estate's garden where Aoi is.

When I saw her, I wave my hand at her and say, 'Hi Aoi-san! Me, Inosuke and Zenitsu will be leaving tomorrow for our mission.'

'Is that so. You guys are leaving tomorrow. Our time together was short but it was great to be able to share it together. Good luck. Be careful.' she said while hanging futons on a drying rack.

I just make a happy face and reply, 'Thanks, Aoi-san. You took care of us so much. I'm really thankful for caring for us when you were busy. Thanks to that, we can fight again.' with a grateful tone.
