Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 69 { Rengoku household }

No ones POV

Tanjiro is feeling down. How could he let rengoku died like that with him present. With his breath style he can cut anything, any demons who stand in his way.

But he also knows that this demon is not matter how many times he cut it, he regenerate and it's physical abilities is out of his league.

Even Inosuke cried his eyes out. The man who always proclaim himself as the king of the mountains just cried and feel down just like him. Even zenitsu, well it's not new though.

No matter how strong a person is, they feel pain and they feel sad. But we can't keep cowering forever. Just like rengoku said 'live with chest high!' no matter how you cry, cower on fear or rampage, it will never change a thing.

The only thing he can do is to become strong and not let something like this happen.

"I don't know anything about your breath style, but my father have notes of ancient flame users. I hope it can help you. Go to the Rengoku households...Tanjirou" those are the things that he needed to do. In order to become strong, he needed to know everything about his breathing technique in order to master it's true potential.

"Tanjirou!" Busy on his thoughts he didn't notice the kanao waving her hand worriedly on his face.

"So-sorry kanao, don't worry I'm fine" tanjiro smiled gently taking her hand from waving on his face and gently putting it down.

The young kamado didn't react though but the girl is blushing right now though he hadn't notice it. "Anyway, why are you here?"

Tanjiro asked her as she finally let go of her thoughts or whatever it would be. She replied that naho is calling him earlier but he was not responding so she ask her to call him instead

Tanjiro slightly laugh he didn't notice that someone was calling him. Too busy with his thoughts he sigh and thanks kanao for concern.

Suddenly he notice her hand fidgetting. He asked what's wrong and she replied that she bring a pack of onigiri for him. Tanjiro gladly take and eat it.

"It's delicious, did you cook it?" he asked while savoring it's taste while hiding the fact that this rice balls have too much salt on it.

Kanao nodded while noticing tanjiro's face slowly turning blue. "A-are you fine?" She worriedly asked as she immediately check his temperature and it seems normal but why his face is blue.

"Ye-yeah...

He awkwardly reassure her. The rice ball with too much salt on it. The crumbs of salt is visible on the rice ball and it's too many.

He is doing his best to hold it. He doesn't want to puke because of it. "Father taught me to don't waste food! I must endure it!" He thought noticing kanao's hand grab his salty burn rice ball.

"Ehhhh!"

"It...taste bad isn't it?" She asked looking sad though. Aoi help her to cook yesterday that's why her rice ball doesn't taste bad, but now that she decided to make it alone, it become much worse.

Tanjiro gulped and formed an awakward smile "it-s...too salty, i didn't mind the burn, but your rice ball had too much salt, but don't worry i can eat it! You've work hard for it so..." He truthfully said.

Tanjiro expected to be slap by her for mocking the food she work hard for, but he saw kanao smiled a bit. "I see, sorry... I'm not a good cook, but i will try! I'll practice more and one day I'll...

"Tanjirou-san! Renguko household allowed you to visit them. You can head there anytime.!" Aoi appear from the shouji door behind them.

As soon as she finish she notice kanao blushing holding some rice balls and tanjiro smiling at her. "I see... So that's it" after piecing everything, she finally guess it.

"Hai, I'll go there now" he replied as she excuse herself. He then take the pack of food from kanao and pat her head.

"Don't worry kanao, I'm happy that your doing your best, but don't push yourself too hard, okay?" He smiled.

"Hai!" She replied with a smile making his heart beat faster just by looking how cute she is with a smile on her face.

In a distance, a certain blonde hair is biting his haori feeling jealous that tanjirou always get every girls attention.

"Ara ara, it's rare to see her smile"

Muzan Pov

"I have come to make a report, Muzan-sama" I heard akaza voice as i look at him like i want to kill him right now.

"Did you find what we talk about?" I asked as he lowered his head and replied. That akaza can't find it since there is mo reliable information wether it existed or not or where can they find it or it is possible to cultivate it or something.

"From now on, I'll do my best as and live up to your expectation. I have dealt with one pillar that you ordered, so please do not worry" he reassure as i boiled in anger.

"It's just a pillar! What am i to say that you've dealt him? It's only natural for demons and demon hunters to kill each other. What i desire is the total annihilation of the demon hunters! Kill every single one of them and don't let me see ever one standing! It's shouldn't be complicated so why? After living for hundred of year, you demons hasn't yet fulfil my wish! What's the meaning of this!

Three demon hunters escape from you, yet you tell me that you kill a pillar with pride. How can't you deal with them! You didn't kill the child that i order you to kill, i DON'T care about the pillar! That child is much more dangerous than them.

Letting him live means the possiblity of demon annihilation will get higher! Don't you hear me AKAZA! I'm disappointed in you.

To think even an upper moon takes a blow from a person who isn't even a pillar.

Begone AKAZA" muzan dark voice echoed on his brain.

Akaza pov

"That brat! The next time i see you, I'll definitely spill your brains out!" He roared destroying tanjiro's sword.

Tanjiro pov

Tanjiro look around as he finally arrived at rengoku's household. He thanks the crow for guiding him here.

He saw a kid that look like Kyojorou. "Senjorou-kun...

He look at him

"Did you heard about what happen to Rengoku? I have given a message for his father and for you senjorou-kun, I'm here to convey it" tanjiro said as a bit of tears fall down from senjorou's face of them.

"A-are you okay,...you look pale" he said even though his the one who look really pale right now.

Stop! You've only come to tell us meaningless nonsense in the first place. It's because, despite his lack of talent, he became a swordsman! That's why he passed away! Kyoujorou is a pathetic fool of a son!

A thorny words come from behind him. It was kyoujorou's father. Hearing it makes tanjirou's blood boil.
