Chapter 214 Inosuke Arrives
Chapter 214 Inosuke Arrives
"Ah...it's because, because, because I pity him..."
Obviously, even Xuanya could see that Tanjiro had no talent for lying. Under Goto's gradually raised eyebrows, he decided to make some remedial measures before the other party became completely suspicious.
"Because I pity him for being so young and not in very good health, I've never had the chance to come here. Now that he can come, I'm very happy."
Lying is not a skill to be proud of, and Xuanya has not mastered this technique, which is not very good. However, compared with Tanjiro, his explanations seem more natural, and his half-true and half-false words seem difficult to immediately distinguish between true and false.
Xuan Mi pretended to be calm and touched the short hair of the boy who was being stared at. He lowered his eyes slightly to avoid eye contact with the only person in the room who seemed unaware.
Xuanya and Tanjiro were trying hard to cover for the only 'child' in the field, while the creator at the center of the storm was completely unaware of it.
Rinko seemed not to notice Goto's gaze, nor did he notice the embarrassment of Tanjiro and Xuanya. He was only immersed in his own world. The boy held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the long sword was raised high. The pitch-black blade seemed to be able to swallow all the light, and it seemed to be emitting a more unique light. But what was more eye-catching was undoubtedly the clear word "destruction" on the blade.
Even Rinkou, who knew nothing about forging, could sense the exquisiteness of this sword. Although he didn't know much about forging swords, at least he had made many other things himself. Although the strange and noisy swordsmith seemed to be a bit strange, his words were all true.
This is indeed a good knife.
If this sword did not belong to Tanjiro, and was not delivered by the swordsmith himself, at any other time and in any other situation, Rinko would probably consider taking this sword into his own pocket.
pity.
Unfortunately, he couldn't just take the knife away.
“This knife is really beautiful…”
Lin Guang couldn't help but admire again.
"boom--"
Before Xuanya could say anything, and before Tanjiro could say anything more, a dull yet crisp bang echoed in the house.
The dullness is due to the force of the intruder, and the crispness is due to the destroyed barrier.
The beast broke into the room, leaving the windows shattered all over the floor, with some fragments even lingering on the intruder's face. Before anyone could react, the intruder let out a loud and strange roar, like cheering, or perhaps wailing.
It is difficult to tell the difference between them just by listening, after all, they all sound like roars of the same tune.
"Inosuke!!!! Why did you break the glass!!!"
This is Tanjiro's roar.
"Are you an idiot?! You'll be killed by Butterfly-sama!!!"
This was Goto's reprimand that followed.
"Please be quiet..."
This was Xuan Mi's heavy sigh.
"Agree..."
Lin Guang, who had already crawled into Xuanya's bed the moment the glass shattered, nodded slightly in agreement.
-
The random shouting and noisy dissuasion continued for a while, and finally the sound of a human being was heard from under the pig head mask.
Despite this, the conversation was actually mixed with chaotic roars and shouts, and the main source was still the man with the pig's head.
Three men in a play should refer to the current situation, Tanjiro, Goto, and the man wearing a wild boar head mask who rushed in from nowhere.
The three people were talking at their own pace and making a chaotic mess. Lin Guang could only try to extract some useful information from the messy conversation, but the key words he could get in the end were just nothing.
Strengthening, training, and training for the strong.
It's really a mess.
But considering that everyone here is from the Demon Slayer Corps, such information does not seem difficult to understand after translation.
"Intensive training..."
Like him, Xuan Mi extracted useful keywords from it.
"Strong... are they referring to the pillars? Will Kyojuro and the others organize training? Are you all going?"
Lin Guang raised his head and looked at Xuanya, who nodded and shook his head, but nodded after a moment.
"Of course we have to go, but Lady Butterfly probably won't let us out right now. However, once we recover, we'll probably join the training right away."
"Is this so..."
Rinkou nodded slightly, but didn't feel anything. He was just briefly curious about what the Demon Slayer Corps training would be like. Would it be the same as the training he'd received before? But the human body couldn't heal after being cut, and those pillars were probably no match for Kokushibo... so it should be different.
So what was that like?
Lin Guang couldn't imagine it.
"So who is he?"
After a brief silence, the boy asked the question that had been in his mind since the beginning.
The boy curled up in the quilt pushed out a small bulge, and then he gently lifted a corner of the quilt, through which he could see Xuan Mi leaning against the head of the bed with a helpless look on his face.
"You mean that noisy pig-head?"
"Ah."
Xuanya had completely gotten used to Lin Guang's usual slowness, so he wasn't surprised by the boy's delayed questioning.
"It seems to be a guy named Inosuke, a friend of Tanjiro. If you are so familiar with Tanjiro, you should have met him."
Xuan Mi turned his gaze over to the man, who was dressed in a mess and shirtless, with a boar head mask on his head. What a strange guy...
and.
It’s really noisy.
"Yeah......?"
Lin Guang moved his body, exposed his head a little, and followed Xuan Mi's gaze.
"Ah, I have indeed seen it."
I have indeed seen him before, not long ago. If I remember correctly, he even broke the other person's bones with his kick. He was indeed a noisy guy.
Whether before or now.
"Um?!"
Lin Guang was sure that there was no emotion in his gaze. He was just simply curious, so he stuck his head out to take a look to confirm whether the other person was the one he had seen before.
But who could have imagined that the other party would have a terrible reaction instinct to such a purposeless look.
The man went from relaxed to alert in just a moment, and the next second he jumped high with a knife in hand and slammed it heavily on the side of Xuan Mi's bed. Before Xuan Mi could open his mouth to scold him, the man had completely thrown the quilt away.
So the boy hiding inside was exposed to everyone's sight.
"Your way of greeting is really unique, Mr. Inosuke."
Lin Guang looked at the other party's offensive and rude behavior, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and remained calm when facing the two blades pulled out from behind.
“Every time.”
