Rimuru's Journey In Kny
Sakonji Urokodaki's
"So... Veldora-san is your brother Rimuru-san? " tanya Tanjiro, they are currently (Rimuru, Veldora, and Tanjiro) walking to the house of Sankoji Urokodaki, someone recommended by Tomioka Giyuu as a pillar of water.
About the kamado's family being brutally slaughtered Rimuru already knew everything, he was very sorry for Tanjiro but he had to try his best to look like an ordinary human being. Rimuru takes all the souls of the Kamado family who will be resurrected at any time.
"True, Veldora is my sister" said Rimuru smiling kindly, despite being covered by her mask. Trying to maybe follow the flow of Veldora's drama.
"Is that so? But your faces don't look alike at all" Tanjiro said plainly
"That's because Rimuru looks like my mother while I look like my father" said Veldora, the director of the drama.
They continued to walk until they arrived in a village, the night had changed to morning, and Nezuko was hiding in a cave.
"Excuse me, can I ask for a basket, straw and a bit of bamboo? " tanjiro asked the person he met in the village.
"Maybe but the basket is hollow"
"It's okay I pay"
"No, the basket is hollow anyway"
"I'll pay you"
"No need, just take the straw and the bamboo for free"
"I'll keep paying it! " said Tanjiro loudly
"I told you not to! So stubborn"
"Although I have some coins please accept it" Tanjiro said, patting the man's hand violently, while the man was in pain in his hand
"Thank you for the basket, the straw and the bamboo" he said, running away.
Rimuru shook his head, then stepped forward towards the man.
"Anuu." said Rimuru hanging, the man turned his head.
"I'm going to add the money" he said, immediately giving the money and running away after Tanjiro and Veldora. It could be said Rimuru and Tanjiro 11 12 in giving money.
A few minutes later they reached a cave that was not too big, but dark and damp.
"Necuko"
"Ehh?! Nezuko!! She missing?! " panicked Tanjiro when no one answered his call. Rimuru sighed, how foolish this human beside her was.
"Tanjiro-san's been.. Nezuko had her mouth covered in bamboo, how could she answer your call? " ask Rimuru, and Tanjiro who slaps his eel because of his stupidity.
Tanjiro went into the cave to look for his sister, he found a hole and saw a head popping out.
"Where are you apparently!! " call Tanjiro
"He made a hole? Did my sister turn into a mole? "Inner Tanjiro
"And his face looks moody, he looks like he wants to get away from the sun" he continued
"Wait here for a second, huh? " tanjiro said passed out and fiddled with the hollow basket.
Assisted with Veldora and Rimuru, the basket is ready in 15 minutes. Tanjiro went back inside with his basket.
"Can you sit here? I will travel during the day and I will take you with me" Tanjiro said
"I think he can do it Tanjiro" said Veldora confidently
"How can you be sure of Veldora? " ask Rimuru
"Because when Nezuko first became a demon she attacked Tanjiro and enlarged his body. So, if you use logic you should be able to do the opposite" Veldora said
"Since when has Veldora been so smart?! " inner Rimuru
Feeling that something was odd Rimuru then asked Veldora.
"Veldora's... You said when Nezuko attacked Tanjiro, right? Then you're already there, right? Why don't you help Tanjiro-san huh?!! " squealing Rimuru was angry with the veins that appeared on his forehead.
"I'm lazy besides that I'm busy looking for hidden treasures" Veldora replied lightly
"The feeling of wanting to kill you is very high, Veldora fufufu" Rimuru's laughter, horrifying and goosebumps Veldora made.
Tanjiro simply stared at the interaction of the two brothers with his signature smile.
"They're brothers but they don't seem to get along very well huh? But this is brotherhood, sometimes it gets along and sometimes it doesn't and that's what makes the relationship even tighter" Tanjiro said.
Veldora advanced toward Nezuko in the hole.
"Oi Nezuko! Get in the basket and shrink your body"
Nezuko simply obeyed what Veldora said, slowly but surely Nezuko went into the basket and reduced her body to fit in the basket.
"Good work, good work, good boy Nezuko is very impressive" Tanjiro praised as he patted Nezuko's head
"Arigatou Veldora-san, Rimuru-san"
"Your! It's nothing"
"Then we should leave before the sun goes down, the danger will lurk at night, the sooner we leave it is better" said Rimuru passed away leaving Veldora and Tanjiro, leaving, then they both followed Rimuru.
They walk through forests and steep roads due to slippery rocks exposed to moss. On the way they met the woman who was carrying the baby on her back. Tanjiro asked where Sagiri Mountain was located in the woman.
"If you want to go to the narrow mountain of mist you need to pass through the mountain ahead... But, it's almost night and you're carrying something big on your back that must be dangerous"
"Let's just calm auntie, it's me and Rimuru! We'll protect each other, won't we, Rimuru, Tanjiro? "
"Umm" nodded Rimuru steadily
"I will be very careful, thank you very much" Tanjiro said, bowing in gratitude.
"A lot of people get lost here, don't get lost" she shouted.
The journey continued not to feel the night had arrived and nezuko was out of the basket. Until they found a house with a thatched roof and wooden walls, the traditional style of the house.
"Ah, there's a small house here. There was a little bit of light, it seemed like there were some people there" Tanjiro said.
"Ciel... Analysis of the house" Inner Rimuru spoke to Ciel, feeling that there was something strange in the house, Rimuru felt the darkness even though it was vague, of course considering Rimuru was the darkness itself.
"Good, analyze........ Finished, it was confirmed there was a demon inside there master" Rimuru was shocked, but it was too late Tanjiro had already opened the door of the house.
Tanjiro froze in front of the door, his eyes were round, a terrible look was clearly displayed in front of his eyes. A demon was mukbang in the house, the distinctive rancid smell of blood pierced the sense of smell.
"What's? Oye... This is... My area... I won't apologize if you ruin my eating place" said the demon.
"Hmm? You look weird... Are you human? " ask the Devil and without any cue the demon attacked Tanjiro, but before hitting Tanjiro's body, Rimuru had already kicked the demon's head to pieces.
The strong wind due to Rimuru's kick made the house scatter, the ground that became the path of the Rimuru kick collapsed to a depth of 1 meter, just to remind, Rimuru is in human mode. The demon head hit the tree while his body rolled on the ground.
"Ri-rimuru-san is? " surprised Tanjiro
The demon's body twitched, crawled, and continued to crawl closer to Rimuru. Nezuko immediately kicked the demon's body until it rolled back.
"Good Nezuko" Inner Rimuru was proud
"Unbelievable!! His head was off but his body was still able to move? " inner Tanjiro
"Oi, shit!!! " the demon shouted
"Stop that!! " tanjiro shouted towards Nezuko with an axe in his hand, Tanjiro had not had time to slash the headless body, the head of the demon attacked first with a hand that grew beside his head.
"Why can an arm grow on his head? " inner Tanjiro while blocking the devil's mouth with his axe.
"Because! " said Rimuru by throwing a speck of black fire on the body and head of the demon, when the demon burned up to the surrounding area, of course Rimuru had saved Tanjiro first, while Veldora saves Nezuko. Speaking of which Veldora had not spoken since he was lazy and a little annoyed with Rimuru who did not allow him to read manga, dasa dragon otaku.
Tanjiro freezes in place, wondering who Rimuru really is, Rimuru who realizes Tanjiro's suspicions immediately seals his memories of the fight and replaces him with himself and the terrified Veldora, meanwhile Tanjiro and Nezuko continue to fight the demon to win. Tanjiro falls into a deep sleep with Nezuko.

...Greetings Urokodaki Sakonji-san...
...I've sent a young man who wants to become a demon-hunting swordsman here to meet you. He had spirit, and he dared my man against me without a weapon though. His family was brutally murdered by the devil. Only his brother survived, but became a demon. I don't think he's gonna hurt a human. ...
...I think there's something different about both. That young man has a good smell like you. I'm not sure but..... He may be able to make "breakthroughs" and "inherit" your work. Please train him well. ...
...I am aware of my reckless request, and may you forgive me for this. Take care of yourself, and I wish you all the best for your efforts. Again forgive me. ...
...Of all respect...
...Tomioka Giyu...
Someone peeked out from behind the tree and revealed himself as the fight was over. The man was wearing a red tengu mask and was old.
"You... Are you a demon? " ask the grandfather.
Rimuru looked at the grandfather and answered him.
"More precisely the Demon King" said Rimuru lightly with the grandfather who was shocked to death.
"Are you muzan?!! " ask the old man with a katana who is out of nowhere.
"Don't equate me with a lowly demon like him Sakonji-san" said Rimuru humbly, Veldora who heard that goosebumps instantly.
"I think I heard a ghost" Veldora said
The grandfather was surprised to return when Rimuru mentioned his name, without loosening his horses.
"I am a true demon king from another world.The king of the demon lord, the strongest demon king and a true dragon Rimuru Tempest greetings know" Rimuru said in a pleasant conversation.
Sakonji furrowed his brows in confusion
"I know you're confused, but what I'm saying is true, and I don't eat humans" Rimuru said.
"I'd like to hear your explanation later"
"Of course, right now it's only you that I'm telling you about, but if there's ever someone who knows my identity other than you and besides me telling you myself, I'm going to devour your soul" Rimuru threatened, since the defeat of Yuuki, Rimuru has become a little assertive and not naive although sometimes the naivety that is inherent from him since then sometimes relapses.
Rimuru, Veldora and Urokodoki walk to Urokodoki's residence. Traditional wooden houses are still habitable, with trees around them. Rimuru lulls Tanjiro and Nezuko into the room with Urokodoki's guide. After that the three of them sat him down in the living room to hear Rimuru's explanation.
Rimuru explained everything. Starting from her being a demon king, partying with the eastern Empire, and the final defeat of her enemy yuuki, Rimuru also explains that Veldora is a true dragon just like her. Rimuru hides the beginning of the story where she was once a human reincarnated into a slime, Rimuru only tells that her body is genderless but her soul is male.
Urokodoki was just a sign of understanding, after which he bowed apologizing to Rimuru.
"I'm sorry for Rimuru-sama's misunderstanding"
"Don't call me 'sama' people will be suspicious later"
"Then I will call you Rimuru-Dono"
"As far as you go" said Rimuru cuek
🍂🌸🍂
4 Hours had passed and Tanjiro was already conscious from his sleep, but by the time he realized Rimuru and Veldora were gone.
"Where's Rimuru-san? " tanjiro murmured which Urokodoki still heard.
"Rimuru-dono and Veldora-dono have been home since earlier, you.. Come with me to the guest room"
Guest room
"I'm Urokodoki Sakonji, what are we that Giyuu wants to introduce to me? "
"Iy-iya" Tanjiro was nervous
"My name is Kamado Tanjiro and this is my brother Kamado Nezuko... "
"Tanjiro" Urokodoki
"What do you do if your sister eats humans? " asked Urokodoki, Tanjiro was stunned, he was silent for a very long time
Plakk
Urokodoki slapped Tanjiro's cheek hard, looking a scar of red on his cheek.
"It's very hesitant"
"You're too hesitant in making a decision, you can't even kill that demon before morning, you can't answer my question, know why? That's because your resolution is too shallow" Urokodoki said with a lie because the one who defeated the demon was Rimuru.
"If your brother kills a human being there are two things you have to do, the first one kills your brother and the second one stabs your stomach and the other half of your stomach, these are the resolutions you should take with your sister. Letting your sister take the life of a person who doesn't know anything, it's a thing that shouldn't happen, you understand what I mean? " continued Urokodoki
"I understand!! " said Tanjiro spirit
"... Well, it's time to test your skills, whether you can become a demon-hunting swordsman, follow me"
Tanjiro followed Urokodoki all the way to the mountain.
"My feet are so tired that they can't move, my head feels dizzy" Tanjiro said
"Until here you will go down the mountain until my house is below, this time I will not wait until dawn" said Urokodoki then disappeared.
"Eh? " Tanjiro was surprised
"That's all? So I have to get to her house until sunrise? Too easy!! My olfactory ability is very good and I remember what Urokodoki-san smells like, even though he's invisible I won't lose my way" Tanjiro said as he stepped on his foot, but suddenly he stepped on a rope and hit a few rocks that hit his body.
"A rock thrown at me? " inner Tanjiro with a staggered body, and accidentally entered into another trap.
"A trap!! Didn't she? There must be a lot of traps, so that's the point!! " inner Tanjiro again and accidentally his hand touched a small rope on the ground.
"No, I'm trapped again!! " tanjiro choked along with his body which was hit by a block of wood from behind.
"Ware!! The gawat!! If I get caught in a trap like this I won't get down before dawn and this forest, this forest!! The air here is so thin!! Thinner than the forest I live in"
"So this is what makes my breath feel heavy and my head dizzy, can I get there? I might faint, no I have to get there!! I have to regulate my breath, if I use my nose well then I can find the trap, the trap that humans make has a different smell, alright I understand!! I understand!! "
Tanjiro kept running down and he often conceded and fell into traps, unfortunately it did not break his spirit he kept running while managing his breath.
A few minutes later...
Srett
The door opened revealing Tanjiro with wounds all over his body. Breath gasping.
"I.... It's been.... Until." said Tanjiro while adjusting his breathing.
"I acknowledge your ability, Kamado Tanjiro" Urokodoki said.
"The person recommended by my students Giyuu and Rimuru-sama is indeed amazing" inner Urokodoki smiled despite being covered in his tengu mask.
