"The Demon-Slaying System, as the name suggests, if you slay demons, there will be system rewards. The rewards are different depending on the rank of the demons. Occasionally, it will randomly drop some good things."
"For the past two days, the old man hasn't been at home watching him train. It seems he's busy with something in the back mountain.
When he goes out, he takes things like a hammer and a chisel."
"Takeshi knows in his heart that this is to test his abilities. He's chiseling a rock for him, so that one day he can split it open, in order to go and participate in the Demon Slayer Corps' Final Selection competition."
"He's not in a hurry, not at all. Since he has come, he might as well take it easy. If he can lie down, he will definitely not stand. When the old man is not at home, he can slack off for a little while, even if it's just for a short time."
"Lying on the big rock in front of the door, basking in the warm and pleasant sun, before long, drowsiness comes over him."
"Right now, there is one thing that Takeshi hasn't figured out yet, and that is what time period he is currently in. Is it before Tomioka Giyu, or after?"
"At the very least, he should be Kamado Tanjiro's senior brother. It would be best if he were Kamado Tanjiro's senior brother, so he could bully Tanjiro a bit, hold Nezuko's little hand, and then happily slay demons. That kind of life would be carefree and unrestrained."
"Nezuko, Nezuko, Nezuko..."
"Takeshi says Nezuko's name in his heart and slowly falls asleep."
Caw, caw!
"The sound of two crows wakes Takeshi up. Without saying a word, he pinches a stone between his fingers, and throws it directly towards the crows."
"The crow was hit and knocked unconscious and fell to the ground."
"Takeshi sits up, picks up the crow from the ground, and discovers that there is a letter tied to its leg. He unfolds it and clearly sees the contents written on it. Joy overflows from his face."
"Wish come true, wish come true!"
"The letter was sent by Tomioka Giyu, saying that Tanjiro is coming with Nezuko. This also proves that he is Tanjiro's senior brother. The thing he thought about before falling asleep is about to come true!"
"Holding the letter in one hand, and carrying the crow in the other, he happily runs towards the back mountain."
"Old man, old man! Ugh! Cough, cough, Mr. Urokodaki, a letter has arrived, a letter has arrived, Tanjiro and Nezuko are coming!"
"Seeing Takeshi running over, the hammer and chisel in Mr. Urokodaki's hands fall to the ground."
"He takes the letter from Takeshi's hand, after reading it, he asks, 'Are you familiar with these siblings?'"
"Familiar! Familiar... It's impossible for me to be familiar with them. It's just that suddenly new people are coming, and I'm so happy!" He awkwardly tries to take back the words he almost let slip."
"Urokodaki Sakonji doesn't ask any more questions. The expression behind the tengu mask is solemn . Another pair of pitiful siblings, whose family was destroyed by demons."
"But..." His eyes fall on Takeshi's body. He says in a serious tone, "Takeshi, shouldn't you be training on the mountain? How would you receive a letter from a crow?"
"Urokodaki Sakonji's question stumps Seiji Takeshi. Can he say that he didn't go to the mountain? No, he can't."
"Mr. Urokodaki, I calculated it beforehand that there would be a letter today, so I waited at home, so that you could receive the letter at the first possible moment! Hehe."
"An awkward but polite smile can resolve everything."
"Looking at Takeshi, Urokodaki Sakonji isn't stupid. This guy must be slacking off again. Without saying a word, he pulls out the Nichirin blade hanging from his waist, and slashes towards Takeshi head-on."
"Seiji Takeshi isn't going to take that lying down. Total Concentration! Water Breathing! Third Form: Flowing Dance."
"He pulls out his wooden sword, and with flowing and smooth movements, dodges Mr. Urokodaki's attack. He's very clear that the Third Form, Flowing Dance, can make use of footsteps to both dodge and carry out effective attacks."
"Seeing Takeshi skillfully use the Water Breathing techniques, Mr. Urokodaki is very pleased. He's indeed the person that he saw potential in. In such a short training time, to be able to do this, he can be considered a uniquely talented person!"
"Between the flashes of swords, with a clang sound, the air becomes quiet."
"Takeshi's wooden sword horizontally blocks Mr. Urokodaki's real sword. His wooden sword isn't broken. A stream of energy is faintly flowing on the blade of the wooden sword, protecting it."
"While Mr. Urokodaki is momentarily distracted, Seiji Takeshi knows that his chance has come. With a body movement, he comes behind Mr. Urokodaki."
"'Total Concentration! Water Breathing, First Form: Water Surface Slash.'"
"Urokodaki Sakonji feels that something is not right. He quickly squats down to dodge. Luckily, his speed is fast enough, otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a few strands of hair falling, but his head would have fallen."
"His body falls from the air to the ground. Seiji Takeshi's expression changes from serious to a bright smile. He says, 'Haha, Mr. Urokodaki, you're so awesome, you actually dodged it.'"
"Urokodaki Sakonji is speechless for a moment. If he wasn't awesome, his head might have been chopped off by the wooden sword."
"'Let's... go back!'" He holds in a big breath, and with difficulty spits out these words."
"The corner of his eye glances at Takeshi. This guy is something else. He can actually use a wooden sword as sharp as a real sword. It seems that he cannot easily challenge him to a duel."
"'The energy on your wooden sword just now was...'"
"'What energy? There was energy on the wooden sword?' Seiji Takeshi looks at Mr. Urokodaki with extremely pure eyes. He's pretending to be confused, knowingly asking a question."
"Urokodaki Sakonji closes his mouth, as if he had asked nothing at all."
