------------------------------------------------
Kanroji Mitsuri, when she was one year and two months old, could easily lift a thirty-pound pickling stone.
By the age of two, no man in the city, including exceptionally strong sumo wrestlers, could beat her in an arm wrestle.
It is said that even before she practiced breathing techniques, her muscle density was already eight times that of an ordinary person.
Her appetite was even more astonishing; she could easily eat one hundred and seventy cherry blossom mochi in a day, far more than the combined intake of three sumo wrestlers.
After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, she quickly developed her own Love Breathing technique from the Flame Breathing technique, becoming one of the strongest Hashira.
The time it took for her to become a Hashira was second only to My Lord Tokito Muichiro, the Mist Hashira.
This child in front of him looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, could eat forty bowls of ramen in one sitting, and could easily lift a four to five hundred pound stone with one hand.
If he were to practice breathing techniques later, it might not take many years for the Demon Slayer Corps to gain another Hashira.
Thinking this, Sanda's heart swelled even more.
"Then let's go find them quickly!"
Feeling the respect and admiration in Sanda's tone, Goku's heart swelled even more than Sanda's.
He felt that his training in this World should be very fruitful.
"Give me one day. I still have a mission to complete. After the mission is done, I'll take you to find them."
Sanda shook his head.
Bringing Goku back to the Demon Slayer Corps was important, but completing the mission was also very important.
Because if he didn't complete the mission, it would mean that more innocent people would be killed by demons.
Fortunately, the mission location was not far from this town; he should be able to reach it in half a day.
Solving that demon and then returning to pick up the boy wouldn't delay him for long.
"Or, you can come with me."
After thinking for a moment, he changed his mind.
He felt that he could use this opportunity to let the boy see a demon with his own eyes, which would be beneficial for Goku joining the Demon Slayer Corps in the future.
"By the way, are you from this town? Do your family live in this town?"
After all, the boy was underage, so to take him away, it was best to follow his parents' wishes.
Although the Demon Slayer Corps recruited talented members, the premise was willingness; they would not force anyone.
Because joining the Demon Slayer Corps, while it could improve strength and earn rewards, also meant that one could be killed by a demon during a mission at any time.
No matter how extraordinary the boy's talent, if he was unwilling, or if his family disagreed, Sanda would not forcibly take him away.
Similarly, letting the boy see a demon, and witness its power and cruelty, was also to give the boy a fair chance to choose.
"My family has passed away. I've been wandering around, training and challenging stronger people to make myself even more powerful," Goku replied after thinking for a moment.
Grandpa Dumbledore said that if anyone asked about his past, he should answer this way.
But it was also the truth.
"That's great!"
Sanda was overjoyed to hear this, but quickly realized that saying so was inappropriate, and immediately explained:
"I didn't mean it that way. I meant that you are very suitable to join our Demon Slayer Corps."
"What is the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Goku's face showed curiosity.
"Let's talk as we go!"
Sanda led Goku out of the small town and headed towards the next town.
Along the way, he began to introduce Goku to information about the Demon Slayer Corps and demons.
"Our Demon Slayer Corps is an organization dedicated to hunting demons, and demons are a kind of…"
After Sanda's introduction, Goku roughly understood what was going on.
It turned out that in this World, there were creatures called demons, who fed on humans, hunted them everywhere, and were extremely cruel.
The Demon Slayer Corps was an organization formed to hunt down evil demons and protect humans.
The strongest in the Demon Slayer Corps were the Hashira, and there were currently nine of them.
As noon approached, Sanda and Goku arrived at their mission destination, Hakugo Town.
"My child! My child!"
As soon as they entered the town, the two saw a disheveled woman frantically searching for something in the street.
However, she was quickly caught and stopped by a man who chased after her.
"Mae, it's okay, it's okay. I'll definitely find our child, I'll definitely find our child. Let's go home first."
The man hugged his wife and comforted her with red eyes for a long time before finally calming her down and taking her away.
At this moment, an aunt next to them gritted her teeth and said:
"It's truly pitiful. The child was barely two months old when he was stolen last night.
Child traffickers deserve to die!"
"According to intelligence, this town has lost seven children in just one month.
The youngest was just one month old, and the oldest was seven years old.
Ordinary people think they are child traffickers, but we suspect it's the work of an evil demon."
Sanda explained to Goku.
Goku's face showed anger upon hearing this.
"If it was an evil demon, did he eat all the children?"
"If it's an evil demon, he definitely ate them."
Sanda sighed, then nodded:
"Some demons like to eat children, some like to eat young girls, and some like to eat strong young men.
The more people they eat, the stronger they become.
So they usually eat them as soon as they catch them, at most after one night; they rarely can wait until the next day."
He often encountered such things. Although he could usually kill the rampaging demon in the end, it was generally very difficult to rescue the disappeared people.
Because it takes time for a demon's rampage to attract the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps, and it takes time for Demon Slayer Corps members to arrive.
This time is enough for the demon to eat all the people it caught.
"The aunt's child was lost last night. If we find that demon now, we might still be able to save him."
Goku clenched his fists.
Sanda shook his head again:
"Demons are most afraid of the Sun; even the strongest demons will be killed by the Sun.
So they all hide during the day and only come out at night to move around.
We must wait until he comes out again at night to catch children before we have a chance to find and kill him."
In such a large town, if a demon wanted to hide, he simply wouldn't be able to find it.
"You said that the more people a demon eats, the stronger it becomes. This demon has eaten so many children, so its strength shouldn't be weak, right?"
Goku asked after thinking for a moment.
Sanda nodded:
"It shouldn't be weak."
"Then I have a way."
Goku immediately closed his eyes and began to sense.
If the demon's strength was not weak, then its aura would naturally be stronger than that of ordinary people. He just needed to carefully sense and differentiate.
He would definitely find it.
"Follow me!"
His sensing range for aura was fifteen kilometers, which could not completely cover this small town.
But it didn't matter; he just needed to walk around the town once to scout the entire town.
Sanda saw Goku close his eyes and walk forward. Although he didn't understand what he was doing, he still followed him.
"Found it!"
Just as Goku reached the center of the street, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then disappeared from his original spot with Apparition.
He had sensed two auras in the town that surpassed ordinary people: one was Sanda behind him, and the other was in the westernmost part of the town.
At the same time, there was also a very faint aura next to that one, which might be the baby who was abducted last night.
Worried that the baby might be eaten by the demon at any moment, after locking onto the demon's location, he instantly teleported over.
"Where is he?"
Sanda rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looking at the suddenly disappeared Goku...
