Tensura X kimetsu no yaiba [English Version]

Chapter 19. Teamwork

1 month had passed since the three of them practiced agility, speed, and agility.

"Okay, swing another 1000 times!"

Those who were swinging their swords were again shocked by my simple request.

The three of them for 1 month still haven't been able to attack the wooden doll I made. So I had to retrain them so they could get used to the weight on their hands and feet as the battle progressed. And you should know, they have become taller than before, maybe almost equal to Giyuu the Water pillar.

During this one month also their movements began to return to normal, this could be said to be a rapid increase.

After 1000 swings they take it out.

"Okay, you can rest."

"Hahh... I thought my hand would fall off!"

"I've cooked a lot of food, so come and eat."

The faces that were once exhausted with profuse sweat, now they had happy grins. And you have to know, their eating portions have increased a lot, especially Inosuke.

They could really deplete my food supply. But don't worry, the sultan is free.

Without further ado they immediately devoured the food I gave them voraciously, trying to replenish the lost stamina.

"Tomorrow I will change the wooden sword to a real sword."

The three of them fell silent...

"W-What do you mean... Rimuru-san?"

"That doll..." I pointed at the puppet in the middle of the practice field, with a wooden katana in its six hands. "I will change the wooden sword to a real sword."

As if lightning had struck their heads, the three boys froze on the spot.

"B-but Rimuru-san, we haven't even been able to land a single attack on him yet."

"I don't care..." I smiled back.

"Gehh." Tanjirou fell to the ground at my words.

I can see that the three of them are eating slower, have they lost their appetite?

"Come on, cheer up, don't be discouraged. I'm sure the three of you can do it." I said encouraging them with a smile.

" ... "

The three of them were silent, but I could see a slight blush on their cheeks.

The next day Tanjirou, Inosuke, Zenitsu, were lined up on the practice field. They stared at the puppet that would be their current opponent, it was true what Rimuru said. The six hands of the puppet were no longer holding wooden swords, but real Katana.

"If you don't focus you will suffer fatal injuries, the worst thing is that you could die in training this time, so be careful." Rimuru said smiling.

He was sitting on the edge of the residence with tea and snacks to watch them.

Inosuke with his pig mask had prepared to put on a stance. Not only him, Tanjirou was also preparing to launch an attack. His face was very serious.

Zenitsu even though he had taken a fighting stance, he could see his legs were shaking in fear.

"We can definitely do it!"

Tanjirou then ran, followed by Inosuke who was beside him. Zenitsu also started running not to be left behind by them.

The six hands were still, not moving at all.

When Tanjirou was in his range, one hand threw an attack at him.
