When the time came that afternoon, at dusk, Kurosawa and Kanae had been traveling for a long time and felt a little tired.

The breathing method can give swordsmen extraordinary endurance, but it cannot achieve unlimited battery life. After all, they are still human bodies, but they only need a short period of rest to adjust their state to perfection.

Along the way, because they didn't want to take a long detour, the two of them jumped directly through the mountains and forests. The distance to Lianhua Town was rapidly shortened, and the island has only now returned to a fairly smooth path.

"What are you going to do after arriving in Lotus Town?"

The two slowed down. At the same time, Kurosawa looked at Kanae and asked curiously.

Kanae didn't know, but Kurosawa knew that there was a person in Lotus Town who was not easy to deal with, the Second Ice Demon Tōma, and he probably couldn't kill him even if he and Kanae were bundled together.

Maybe it can be equal? ​​But not necessarily... If Kurosawa remembers correctly, Tongmo seems to be a ghost who relies entirely on blood ghost skills to fight. His blood ghost skills are very powerful. Once the human body touches it, it will

Seriously injured.

Next to her, Kanae thought for a while and then responded: "First of all, let's see if there are any traces of winding in Lotus Town. It might have taken a while to investigate, but Kurosawa, you have fighting spirit perception, so the investigation step is much simpler.

"

"Basically, as soon as you arrive in Lotus Town, you will know whether there is a winding string."

"Then you use your fighting spirit to judge the opponent's level. If it is similar to Fallen Princess, we will deal with it directly. If it is a higher-level wind string, we can temporarily retreat and then return to the Demon Slayer Headquarters and call for help.

Come to encircle and suppress."

Before the path, a small village appeared in front of the two of them.

Looking at this small village in the mountains from a distance, Kurosawa shook his head and said: "The perception of fighting spirit is not omnipotent. If I encounter a powerful upper string that can suppress my own fighting spirit and deceive me, wouldn't we?

A sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"

Kanae smiled softly and said: "Kurosawa, you underestimate the power of fighting spirit. The situation you mentioned is very small."

"Even if we do encounter you, how about I stop and let you escape first?"

"That's what you said. Don't blame me for running fast when the time comes." Kurosawa said this, but he also knew that he was not someone who would run away easily. However, he should be able to carry Kanae and run together.

Tong Mo is good at vampire magic, so he shouldn't be very strong physically, so he definitely can't outrun him.

"Actually, after discovering the ghost on Yoshihara Flower Street, when we go back to the Demon Slayer Headquarters, no one will talk about you again."

"But I think it's already here. Let's get rid of the tasks in Lotus Town. If we still go up, you might still have a chance to be promoted to the pillar based on your merits."

"You must have achieved your strength, but your performance in slaying ghosts is still far behind. You can just use this mission to make up for it. You have handled two tasks related to winding, and your performance is enough."

"I'll help you become the new water pillar, which will be enough to repay your kindness for helping my sister in Tengxi Mountain." Kanae smiled.

Kurosawa has never demonstrated his sword-type prowess, but judging from his performance in Flower Street, Kanae knows that he has crossed the pillar-level threshold and officially possesses pillar-level combat power.

Moreover, Kurosawa has the ability to sense fighting spirit. Among the entire Demon Slayer Squad, only Iwa Pillar currently has it. Even she is envious of it. If he wants to become Pillar, he must be strong enough.

After hearing Kanae's plan, Kurosawa's expression changed slightly, and then said: "So that's what you think. No wonder you insist on going to Lotus Town. But to be honest, I'm not interested in the position of the column."

"It was just a convenience to help Butterfly endure it at first. You don't need to care too much."

In fact, it's not just because of helping Butterfly endure, the main reason is that Kanae feels a little guilty.

It was she who mentioned Kurosawa in front of Uyashiki Yōya in the first place, so that Kurosawa was included in the priority care list, and that was how the trip to Hachijo Island took place.

If Kurosawa had started from the low-level ghost-slaying mission and had seen more people and ghosts, maybe he wouldn't be so radical in doing things... This is Kanae's true thoughts.

She believed that most of the things Kurosawa did were her fault, so she wanted to help Kurosawa become a pillar as compensation.

"Senior Lintaki is the former water pillar. If his position as water pillar is taken away by someone else, he will probably be very unhappy."

"You are his eldest disciple, and you are obliged to inherit the position of Shuizhu."

For some reason, Kurosawa felt a little irritated when he heard Kanae's tone. He said impatiently: "I am not the only one of the master's disciples. They all have the chance to become the new water column."

"Besides, let me say it again, I have no interest in inheriting the water column."

When an ordinary swordsman and the Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps have to take care of things that are completely different from each other, it is acceptable for Kurosawa to be an ordinary swordsman and use the intelligence system of the Demon Slayer Corps to find ghosts, but to become a Pillar, most of the

He couldn't tolerate it if all his time was given to the Demon Slayer Squad.

He didn't even figure out the secrets about him. Wouldn't it be easier to be discovered if he became a pillar? Kurosawa has never tried his best to hide himself.

Kurosawa still doesn't know that because of what Hong Yue said at the foot of Mount Fuji and the swordsman he let go, his secret has been discovered and he was mistaken for a ghost.

"Of the other swordsmen in Saagiri Mountain, only Qio Usagi and Masaki have reached the standard of Class A swordsmen. They are not far from the pillar, but their breathing skills have not yet reached the normal state, and they are still some distance away from the pillar. Maybe

Very close, maybe very far.”

As the threshold of the pillar, the Changzhong Breathing Technique will eliminate many swordsmen, because if you want to learn the Changzhong Breathing Technique, talent is crucial. No matter how hard people without talent work, reaching Grade A is already the end.

"Then you have underestimated my two junior brothers, Tomioka Giyu, and the recent newcomer Iguro Kobanai. In my opinion, both of them are more suitable to become pillars than me."

"I don't know about Iguro Kobanai, but Giyu Tomioka? That timid swordsman... the chances are slim."

Kurosawa smiled and said mysteriously: "Believe me, I have seen his future."

Teammates offer sacrifices to the sky, and their power is boundless. This refers to people like Tomioka Giyu. As a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, teammates offering sacrifices to the sky will definitely happen. As long as he is stimulated by the loss of friends and changes his cowardly character at this time, he

His future trajectory will not be significantly different due to the survival of Qiang Tu and others.

"Okay, but Kurosawa, do you know that as a breeder, your master actually has a lot of responsibilities to shoulder." Kanae changed the topic and mentioned Nintaki Sakonji again.

Kurosawa's expression was startled, and then he said: "What?" He really didn't understand the responsibilities of a breeder.

Seeing Kurosawa looking over, Kanae stopped and said seriously: "It is the job of the trainer to cultivate swordsmen for the Demon Slayer Corps, but apart from that, trainers are responsible for the behavior of the swordsmen they cultivate."

"If a swordsman becomes a man-eating monster, or commits evil acts that are harmful to nature, their trainer will be held responsible, and will basically end up committing suicide."

Hearing this, Kurosawa frowned: "What's the point? Is there still a punishment method of sitting together?"

Kanae explained: "Because the Demon Slayer Corps trusts the trainers and trusts their vision, they believe in their recommendations. When the preliminary swordsmen participate in the trial selection, they cannot participate without the recommendation of the trainers, and before that

, for a long period of time, trainers can judge the character of potential swordsmen, and those with poor character will be eliminated."

"There is no punishment method for continuous sitting in the Demon Slayer Corps. Suicide is mostly the choice of trainers. They think that they have betrayed the trust of the Demon Slayer Corps and become an accomplice, so they use suicide to apologize for the harmed people."
