"I think that {demon} must have lived on Mount Fujikasane for a long time. It gradually grew stronger by eating the people who came to participate in the selection." Ryuji shared his analysis.
Sakonji Urokodaki didn't immediately answer. He pondered for a long time before guessing, "Perhaps it was a {demon} I captured when I was young. But I don't know why that {demon} was able to live for so long. Because the {demons} imprisoned on Mount Fujikasane, to prevent them from eating too many people and becoming too powerful, the Demon Slayer Corps would clean up Mount Fujikasane every five years. Then, they would imprison a new batch of {demons} on Mount Fujikasane."
"Perhaps that guy hid himself deliberately so that he could one day take revenge on me."
After speaking, Sakonji Urokodaki sighed.
After hearing Sakonji Urokodaki's explanation, Ryuji wasn't surprised because it was similar to what he had guessed.
After sighing, Sakonji Urokodaki picked up his cup and took a sip of hot tea. After calming down for a moment, he continued to look at Ryuji and said, "However, this year is exactly five years. Since you've killed all the {demons} on Mount Fujikasane, you've saved the Demon Slayer Corps a lot of trouble."
"Ryuji, Tanjiro, although you've passed the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps, you mustn't be blindly confident. Because I just said that the {demons} used to select Demon Slayer Corps members on Mount Fujikasane were not very strong."
"The {demons} you will face in the future will be much stronger than those on Mount Fujikasane. These {demons} are different from those on Mount Fujikasane. They may even use Blood Demon Arts similar to sorcery. You have to be even more careful when fighting them!"
Hearing this, Tanjiro suddenly interjected, "That, I think Nezuko is different from other {demons}. Is it because of this Blood Demon Art?"
Sakonji Urokodaki immediately denied Tanjiro, saying, "No, your sister's situation should not be related to Blood Demon Arts. According to my guess, Nezuko, in order to avoid eating human flesh, has chosen to rely on sleep to recover her strength."
Hearing Sakonji Urokodaki's words, Tanjiro felt a sense of joy in his heart.
As if he was happy for the choice his sister had made.
"I'm full! Tanjiro, you can do the dishes after dinner." Ryuji put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.
"…" Tanjiro was helpless but couldn't refuse.
Fifteen days later
On the morning of Asakusa Mountain, a man carrying a long box wrapped in cloth walked along the mountain path. The man was wearing a brown kimono with a sun pattern. He had a bamboo hat on his head, with many wind chimes hanging on the edge of the hat. As the breeze blew, the wind chimes made a pleasant sound.
The man walked slowly through Asakusa Mountain and finally arrived in front of the small wooden house where Ryuji and Tanjiro were.
Sakonji Urokodaki, who was meditating in the room, had already heard the sound of the wind chimes. He told Tanjiro, "Tanjiro, a guest has arrived. Go greet them."
"Guest?"
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment. Then, Ryuji said, "The swords have arrived."
These three simple words made Tanjiro understand immediately. He got up and went outside to greet the guest.
Outside the wooden house, Tanjiro indeed saw the man who had come to deliver the swords. Looking at this mysterious man in front of him, Tanjiro didn't know what to say.
