Tensura X kimetsu no yaiba [English Version]

Chapter 17. Common strength.

"Zenitsu, can you move already?" Tanjirou who was lying on the bed looked to the right.

"Still can't, my leg hurts so bad..."

"Well it's obvious, we have broken bones, moreover the iron that Rimuru-san gives us always presses on our feet."

It was noon and they still couldn't move at all, even while they were eating, Sumi, Naho, and Kiyo had to feed them. Inosuke was the most annoyed when he was fed because the food that went into his mouth was very long.

"That demon really is so cruel, can't he just sympathize with us a little!?"

Tanjirou just smiled wryly at Zenitsu's annoyance.

"What is this? Are you guys still talking about me?"

The three friends gasped in surprise at the sound that was familiar to the three of them.

'When did Rimuru-san come in?' Tanjirou thought.

Inosuke also slightly looked up to see Rimuru who was sitting on a chair, he turned the chair over and rested his chin on the back of his chair.

'I don't feel his presence at all' Inosuke thought.

'Just pretend you're sleeping.'

Inosuke and Tanjirou woke up to get a better look at Rimuru who was in front of them.

"Rimuru-san, you came here to visit us huh."

"Yeah, I just wanted to confirm if my Tsuguko is still breathing or not." Rimuru smiled back at the two of them.

"Oba-san, when did you come here?"

Even though he was still smiling when he looked at Inosuke, a cross came out of Rimuru's forehead because he was still not used to the call he was given.

"I've been here since morning. And also..." He looked at Zenitsu who was still lying there not greeting him.

"It seems that there is one flesh that has died, we will have a funeral now."

"GGGYYAAAAAAA!!! I'M SORRY! I AM SORRY! I PROMISE I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN!" Zenitsu wakes up frightened by Rimuru's words.

"Haha, don't worry, I was just kidding." Rimuru replied with a smile.

'No, from the tone you gave off earlier. If I didn't wake up, I might be in the ground by now.' Zenitsu's mind was annoyed because of the 'Joke' that Rimuru gave.

"By the way, Rimuru-san..., What did 'my Tsuguko' mean earlier?" Tanjirou asked with an astonished face.

Zenitsu was already shaking with fear, he felt his heart not calm. Meanwhile, Inosuke just stared at Rimuru from behind his pig mask.

"Yeah, there's good news for the three of you here..., Don't be surprised okay!" Rimuru looked at them one by one with his sweet smile.

"If the three of me have been appointed as my Tsuguko! Prok prok prok! Congratulations!"

"Ohh!! Really!?" Tanjirou was innocently excited.

"Ohh... Great."

" ... "

"How! You are happy aren't you, from now on you are Tsuguko of the Ice pillar, and I will train the three of you to become pillars, hahahaha! No need to thank me, you deserve it."

Then Rimuru who was laughing happily looked at Zenitsu.

"Oh, Zenitsu, I know your excitement, but you don't have to cry."

"Sob..., Sob..., Yes, I'm so happy, sob... I'm so excited, I want to die."

"Hahahaha, you really are good at giving out compliments, huh."
