Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 213 New Sword

The days of recuperation in the ward were actually mostly leisurely. Even though Rinkou came to visit almost every day, recently because Butterfly had too much work to do, the boy's visits became less frequent and the duration of their visits gradually decreased. To this day, Tanjiro hadn't seen the boy for two consecutive days.

But fortunately, Mr. Goto, who had no work to do today and came to visit, brought some delicious and sufficient snacks, which eased Tanjiro's slightly gloomy mood.

"That pig-headed guy has been asking your sister to learn how to call his name. Is that okay? If that yellow-haired kid sees it, it will definitely cause big trouble."

Goto looked at Tanjiro eating heartily with a smile on his face and a completely nonchalant look, and was even more worried than the injured person sitting on the bed.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate, but since he met Tanjiro, he seems to be involved in the aftermath of the other party's injuries. The first time was a coincidence, the second time was accidental, but as they met more and knew each other for a longer time, their relationship gradually became closer. Goto would feel satisfied to check on each other's recovery status in his spare time from work and help each other relieve the emotional pressure to the best of his ability.

Generally speaking, this is the case, but since the person he is taking care of is Tanjiro, Goto is a little unsure because Tanjiro really doesn't look like an ordinary Demon Slayer Corps member.

"It should be fine. They'll all be happy if Nezuko can learn it."

Even now, Tanjiro himself still didn't realize what this situation could lead to. However, Goto, who had a deep understanding of how difficult that pig-headed and yellow-haired guy was, had a completely different idea.

Looking at that indifferent face, Goto was about to say something to persuade him when he was interrupted by the man who broke into the house. The mask on his face and the headscarf that almost covered his entire head were his most obvious features. The name Tanjiro and the blade that was handed to him also symbolized the other party's identity.

"Anyway, please sit down first."

Goto immediately gave up his position when the other person came over. The man was breathing heavily and his body was shaking. It was obvious that he was in great pain, and even his voice was weak.

Was he injured in the previous battle? Or was it the strain of sharpening the sword? A swordsmith's job is truly tough... He just encountered this kind of misfortune before, and now he has to personally deliver the sword to me. It's really hard work.

But it looks different from what was rumored...

Even Goto, who is a hermit, knows about the existence of swordsmiths. Most swordsmiths have their own special tempers. As for Tanjiro, he had heard a little about this one from other hermits before. It is said that he has a more bad temper among swordsmiths, but now it seems that it is not that exaggerated?

Goto stood aside and listened quietly to the conversation between the two, making up his mind.

Sure enough, rumors can't be all true...

"Believe it or not, I will kill you."

"sorry!"

letter.

It’s too late to talk.

Listening to the man's weak but angry complaints, Goto spoke lightly.

"But this guy's injuries are no less severe than yours. Almost all his bones are broken..."

He looked at the knife maker who had already started pulling, sighed helplessly, and tried to calm the other person down a little through verbal explanation.

"Believe it or not, I will kill you."

But it was obvious that the effect was minimal. Or to be frank, it had no effect at all, as if the other party didn't understand what he was saying.

"You don't understand what people are saying!"

----

An enraged swordsmith is more difficult to deal with than an angry Kakure, and almost as scary as the unhappy Sound Pillar before...

Goto took a lot of effort to hold the swordsmith back a little to prevent Tanjiro from suffering a second blow to the injury.

Although I've heard before that this guy is troublesome...but now it seems...after all, the rumors must have corresponding sources.

And when faced with Tanjiro's statement that the other party had been quite gentle today, Goto felt a little pity for Tanjiro.

"real or fake......"

Do I have to face such a guy after every battle... This is even considered a gentle situation... What is he like in normal times? Is he still a human being? Is this the attitude that a swordsmith should have? It would be more appropriate to call him an evil spirit.

"Is this the new sword you've been waiting for? So handsome."

It was the voice of a little boy, and it came without any warning. There was no wind, no rain, just like a bell that doesn't ring shaking in front of your eyes. Goto's breathing slowed down for a beat, and he subconsciously lowered his head. What he saw was a boy who appeared from nowhere and at some point, lying on the other side of Tanjiro's bed.

"Ah, it's Rin..."

"Where did you run from!!!"

"You should keep your voice down a bit from now on..."

"Sorry Xuanya!"

After a brief moment of chaos, the room calmed down a little. The boy ignored his question and just stood by the bed with his hand outstretched, as if he wanted to touch the new knife.

"Children, don't touch such dangerous things!"

Goto instinctively reached out to grab the restless little hand, but to his surprise, his hand was empty. The boy had already successfully grabbed the Nichirin Sword in Tanjiro's hand. Goto was stunned for a moment before looking at the boy, then naturally reached out again, ready to teach this bad boy a lesson.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Goto, this is Rin... No, this is Rei, yes, yes, it's mine..."

Tanjiro stretched out his hand to stop him. The previous words were smooth, but suddenly the explanation became stammering and no one knew what he was saying.

"This boy is Rei, my younger brother. He's currently training because he's really interested in joining the Demon Slayer Corps. Please don't mind him."

The one who spoke was Xuanya, who was lying on the other bed. Goto had limited knowledge of this kid and had rarely come into contact with him outside of here. The only thing he remembered about him here was that he was also a frequent visitor to the Butterfly House, and he seemed to always come in and out at the same time as Tanjiro.

He's also a tough guy, but he's also a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, and he's still a young guy. Although it's a bit strange to bring his brother to a place like this, and letting him use someone else's sword doesn't seem safe, but, forget it, every family has its own problems, who knows...

"Oh, your brother? I haven't seen him before. Come to think of it, where did this guy come from?"

Goto easily changed the topic, and Tanjiro beside him seemed to be relieved. Perhaps there was another hidden secret, but it had nothing to do with him.

"Because he knew there would be guests in the house today, he hid under my quilt and fell asleep until just now, so he scared you. I apologize on his behalf."

"No, it's okay...it's just that I've never seen this guy before..."

Goto looked at the boy sitting on Xuanya's bed, trying hard to pull the long sword out of the scabbard, and touched his chin thoughtfully.
