Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 117 The Nanny Arrives

The probability of a train accident is not high, but it is not zero.

And anything that wasn't zero, when it came to Rinko's head, was 100%. So when Rinko felt the train bumping along the tracks, he wasn't really surprised, but he felt a little helpless as his body flew around uncontrollably in the carriage.

Kyojuro spread his wings like a real owl and flew around the carriage, faster than he could fly. It seemed that he was relying on his sword skills to alleviate the impact of the carriage losing control, so that the carriage would not be completely scrapped when it deviated from the track and fell to the ground.

This should have at least been a major accident, and the casualties should have been counted by the carriage, but Kyojuro forcibly turned the accident into a story that would probably surprise all the passengers.

The flesh and blood on the carriage was gradually melting away, and the aura that had always been there was gradually fading. It was obvious that Nightmare was the loser, but Lingguang no longer cared so much about who won or lost. He just reached out to grab the window, pulled himself out of the carriage, and then hung there ungracefully, vomiting all the lunch boxes he had eaten during the day.

----

Tanjiro was lying on the ground trying to relieve his injuries by breathing. Kyojuro was instructing him. There was a smell of blood around, but it was very faint. Many people were injured, but except for the ghost, no one lost his life tonight.

This is undoubtedly good news.

In such peace, Tanjiro successfully alleviated his injuries with guidance, Kyojuro praised him, and the people around him tried hard to save themselves.

The silence was broken without any warning. There was a loud bang, which was obviously the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. As the gaze shifted, the first thing seen was the dust stirred up by the heavy landing. As the dust drifted away, the outline gradually became clear, and the culprit's true appearance was revealed. The first thing that appeared was the eyes that lit up in the night like a beast, a beautiful golden color.

Lin Guang recognized the visiting guest before he saw the eyes clearly. It was because of his familiarity.

Apart from Akaza, no one else in the entire Upper Rank lineup would choose such a 'solemn' way of debuting.

He had previously been a spectator from the back, a rare opportunity to experience this oppressive appearance from the perspective of a victim. Just as Rinkou had initially imagined, the pale skin covered in cyan tattoos was eerie and terrifying. But for a demon hunter, even more terrifying was the face with its easy smile, the effortless and casual demeanor, and the clear vision of an Upper Rank Three in those golden eyes.

There was a brief silence, like a predator waiting for the best time to attack, or like a deliberate flaw, but the transition from silence to sparks flying took only the blink of an eye, and a fist attacked Tanjiro's head. This was Akaza's usual style, picking the weakest to kill first, then leaving the stronger ones to deal with slowly, and if the one was stronger, he would chat with them for a while longer.

In the past, Rinkou didn't quite understand why Akaza liked to talk endlessly with a group of humans, but after he had a tour among the Upper Moons, he understood that some humans were indeed more likable than their colleagues.

You said so, right, Douma?

-

In fact, Rinkou didn't know why Akaza appeared here, nor did he understand why the other party suddenly started fighting with Kyojuro. He was just distracted and missed a few words, and the two of them were already entangled in a fight.

The dark blue fist wind and the red sparks collided with each other, and scattered blood flew out from time to time, like fireworks, or like a piece of music played by life.

Occasionally, you can hear the "conductor" speak.

Although the position was not very good, Lingguang was too lazy to move, so he just hung on the window of the train that had fallen to the ground, supporting his head with his chin, and watched this grand performance.

He had only seen Makijuro kill demons, but had never seen Kyojuro fight.

Looking at the flying sparks and blood spots, it looked like a battle of equal strength. Akaza was always like this. Rinkou had been wondering whether this behavior was teasing the prey or just being playful. The difference between the two determined whether Akaza's mental age in his eyes was his elder, his peer, or even his junior.

However, Akaza himself has always explained this behavior as "guiding." It's said that he's constantly guiding his opponent, gradually exerting pressure, allowing them to gradually unleash greater combat power and tap into their deeper potential. If the previous punch had landed successfully on Tanjiro's head, the effect would likely have been even greater.

But now. Rinko looked at Tanjiro who was still on the ground. He had changed from lying down to kneeling on the ground. The wounds on his body hindered his movement. The boy wanted to help, but he couldn't get up due to his physical condition.

How naive.

It's so naive and scary.

Facing a battle that was completely out of his reach, he still wanted to join in. What a terrible bravery.

Rinko could sense from Akaza's increasingly cheerful tone that he was completely into the fun.

Although he didn't know what Akaza's purpose was in coming here, it was obvious that at the moment, Kyojuro was the only one left in the other party's eyes.

The battlefield was pulled from the plain to the forest, out of Lin Guang's sight. He had to get out of the carriage and leap across the plain.

The movement of landing was so light that it made no sound. With the battle so intense before them, it was natural that Tanjiro did not notice his approach, but Rinko still felt helpless about his laxity.

"You're only looking forward and not paying attention to the entire battlefield. If your name wasn't Tanjiro, you really would have died."

It was not until Rinko opened his mouth that the two boys in front of him noticed his approach. Tanjiro turned his head subconsciously, but the other side's reaction was more direct. The broken double swords came towards him. Rinko jumped lightly and landed accurately on the blades. The inertia of the fall caused the opponent's double swords to lose direction and be forced to smash into the ground.

"You are very rude, kid."

"Who are you calling a kid? You little brat! It was you who approached me first without making a sound! Get out of here!"

The moment the blade left his hand, the opponent swung his fist, but in Lin Guang's eyes, such a fist was really not lethal. Lin Guang just used the blade as a landing point to jump again.

"Inosuke! Wait!"

Of course, the fist just missed, and Rinko fell to the ground, tilted her head and looked at Tanjiro, blinking almost in confusion, and stretched out a hand to point at him.

"Although your courage is commendable, Tanjiro, I regret to tell you that even if the two of you were combined, you wouldn't be able to cause any harm to me."

No, more than that, even if Kyojuro was included, it probably wouldn't be enough. Rinko mentally estimated the strength visible to the naked eye.

"So, you're going to kill us?"

Tanjiro spoke to him, and Rinko stroked his chin seriously and thought for a while, as if he didn't expect him to ask such a question.

"No, I'm not going to kill you. I'm just trying to find something to do."

The seemingly long negotiation was actually just a brief moment. The loud noise of Kyojuro flying out and hitting the wall attracted the attention of everyone and the ghosts.
