Rimuru's Journey In Kny
7. Congratulations or die?
Fear struck Tanjiro and the would-be demon hunters behind him.
"Hey little fox, what era is it today? " ask the devil
"It... Taisho era now"
"AHHHH" the demon yelled, crazy.
"The era!! Even though the name of the era changed!! Not enough, not enough at all!! How long will I be locked up here?! I will never forgive him!! Fucking urokodoki!! Fucking urokodoki!! Fucking urokodoki!! " the devil said it was unclear.
"Why do you hate Urokodoki-sensei so much? " ask Tanjiro
"You know why!! I was captured by Urokodoki!! I will not forget the moment 47 years ago, he used to still hunt demons. During the edo period... During the Keio era" the demon replied, shouting
"That's a lie!! " in between the load does not mean the would-be demon hunters behind Tanjiro
"There shouldn't be any demons living that long, because... "
"The devil here should have eaten 2 or 3 people only, and the demons were killed during the selection, and the Devils killed each other, which makes it impossible" he continued
"But I am alive, in this wisteria prison, I have eaten 50 children" the devil replied
"Fifty little ones?! " inner Tanjiro, Tanjiro immediately remembered the conversation he and Urokodoki had
"Remember, basically the number of humans the devil eats shows how powerful they are"
"The more that is eaten the more the demon becomes strong? " ask Tanjiro
"Truely, demons increase their power by eating humans, some demons can use magic to make changes to their flesh. If you can increase the sensitivity of your nose, you will be able to know how much they eat" Urokodoki explained
"12.. 13.. Then.. You're the 14th" when he remembered his conversation with Urokodoki, the demon suddenly counted and laughed.
"What are you talking about?! " tanya Tanjiro doesn't understand
"I'm counting the Urokodoki disciples I've swallowed, I've decided to kill all of his students, by the way the ones who left the most impression are these child pairs. Of the two of them, the child who had strange hair was the strongest, his head covered in pink hair and a scar on one end of his lips. The other is a little girl who wears a flower-patterned dress, although she is small and not so strong, but she is fast and light with her movements" explained the demon
" we were killed by this demon? But I met them.."the inner Tanjiro couldn't believe it.
"The fox mask is a sign. I remember the style that Urokodoki wore while wearing that mask, the tengu mask he wore had the same sculpture. It's called the mask of doom or something, isn't it? It's because they used it when they were eaten, they're all now in my stomach, it's the same as Urokodoki killed them himself" the demon replied smiling
"Khukhu, when I told him, the girl was very angry. He had tears at the end of his eyes. Khukhu, after that the movement became stiff. So, I broke his arms and legs" said the demon, giggling
Tanjiro had already lost his temper, he attacked that iblia without any strategy and plan, all he had in mind was to kill this demon in front of him.
Duaghh
The devil's hand hit Tanjiro's hip, Tanjiro was thrown until he hit a tree next to him and was unconscious.
"That guy has lost, I have to get out of here as long as I have a chance" another would-be demon hunter and ran away in a daze leaving Tanjiro alone.
The demon's hand was outstretched about to bring Tanjiro's body to eat. In Tanjiro's subconscious, a boy kept shouting at him many times.
"Sister!! "
Tanjiro awakens from his stupor, then reflexes his body back to avoid the devil's hand.
Zrash
Tanjiro cut off the demon's hand.
"If I had cut off his hand. But, it grew back after a while. Hm?! There was a strange smell there" Inner Tanjiro, then jumped high as 3 hands came out from the ground.
"Very high!! His hands came out from the ground!! I can't beat him!! " inner Tanjiro
The devil stretched out his fist while Tanjiro was still floating in the air, Tanjiro dodged by banging his head in the devil's hand and then salto forward and approached the demon's head.
The demon was surprised to learn that Tanjiro was able to evade his attack, but the demon still underestimated Tanjiro.
"However, my defense of the head is very strong and he cannot behead me" the inner demon disdained
"Focused. The breath of the water first style: the cut of the surface of the water"
Zrash
The demon's head was cut off, then rolled.
A memory emerged as the final seconds of the demon disappeared
"Sister, I'm alone in the dark, I'm afraid. Brother, hold my hand like you always do. Why did I swallow my brother? Eh? Who's the big brother I'm thinking about?" the first memory that appeared was when he ate his own brother and his human memory disappeared
Tanjiro came forward holding the devil's hand.
"The scent of sadness" Tanjiro's inner
"Lord, please don't let him be a demon again when he re-energizes later" Tanjiro said, praying for the demon.
The demon cried, and then the memories of both of him appeared
"Sister, big brother took my hand"
"Yes, yeah. You're always childish"
The demon slowly disappeared into ashes and fused with the air.
7 Days later
"Welcome back"
"Congratulations, being fresh is better than anything"
"There are only 4 people left?! There were 20 or so people" Tanjiro said
"Will die!! Will die!! Even if we survive, we will still die in the end" said a yellow-haired man hysterically
"Eh? Now what am I doing? Waitie?! Where's sword?! " said a young man with many wounds on his body
After the two twin girls explained everything from the manufacture of uniforms to swords, they summoned crows.
"Eh? A crow? Isn't this a church bird? " ask the young man when he gets a sparrow himself.
"I don't care about the dumb crow!! " shouted the young man who was filled with wounds. Then, pull the hair of one of the twin women. He chided maki, snapped and continued to grab her hair.
Tanjiro stopped the young man and threatened him, and the commotion finally ended. After it was felt that everything was in order and Tanjiro had chosen the stone to be used as a sword, they all dispersed. There was something strange Tanjiro remembered.
"Wait on!! Where's Rimuru-san?! " sneaker, he turned his head around, but unfortunately Tanjiro did not find Rimuru anywhere.
Tanjiro was sitting limp on the ground, a clear water flowing smoothly and profusely on his cheek, he cried loudly and shouted, his heart ached when he knew the woman(?) the one he loved and was always with himself, cheering him on, had left him.
"should have!! I should have stopped him!! It should be when he comes here, I should drive him back to his house!! You stupid Tanjiro!! You fool!! " the meaning is deep, cloud cloud cloud as if knowing Tanjiro's feelings, a drop of rain began to fall and became heavy, Tanjiro raised his head, no matter the rain that hit his eyes and mouth , take a deep breath and then shout loudly.
"Yushu-san!!! "
A middle-aged man was stroking a crow on his shoulder.
"So, so. There are 6 people left including that silvery blue haired kid? They are really great huh, I want to know what kind of sword users they are" the person said
Rimuru
"Hatchu!!.. Looks like someone called me" Rimuru said as she cleared the snot in her nose.
"By the way it's been 7 days, how's Tanjiro doing? I passed the test in just half a day and I killed half the demons in the forest. Ahhe... I had fun then, when I saw their frightened faces, then when they cried out for help when my soul sucked, how happy it was" Rimuru said as she sipped her tea.
"I also got my uniform and my nichirinku, he said he had to wait 15 days. But, why isn't mine until 7 days is over? I don't want to think about it" he continued
Back to Tanjiro
Tanjiro strolled home in shock from his injuries, holding on to a wooden stick to keep his balance. Tanjiro did not feel like he had reached Urokodoki's house.
"Ah.... I've arrived. Urokodoki-san, Nezuko. . "inner Tanjiro
Dug
A sound of the door in the kick sounded, then when the door was detached from its hinges, Nezuko was seen walking under the moonlight.
"Ne-nezuko!! Ye.. You are awake, are you?! "
Nezuko ran towards Tanjiro and hugged him.
"Wagh.... Why are you in a coma like that? You sleep and don't wake up anymore! I thought you were dead! " tanjiro cried while hugging Nezuko back.
Urokodoki, who knew Tanjiro, ran back to him and hugged Nezuko and Tanjiro.
"Finally! You finally came back safe! " said Urokodoki as he shed tears
Tanjiro took off his embrace, then he started crying by covering his face.
"I survived! But Rimuru-san is not! Hix... I can't protect her.... I'm a weak man.. Hiks" she cried
Urokodoki furrowed his brow in confusion despite being covered by his mask of a hammer.
"Rimuru-sama is not dead. In fact, I trained with him yesterday even though my body finally crumbled all, Nezuko also woke up because of the strange blue liquid belonging to Rimuru-sama" inner Urokodoki
The days passed, but Tanjiro did not accept Rimuru's departure.
"Do I have to tell her that Rimuru-sama is still alive? " inner Urokodoki when he saw Tanjiro pensively staring at the window with his blank look.
15 Days later
Ringgates
There was a bell ringing from outside Urokodoki's house. Tanjiro immediately met the person in front of the door.
"Winds... The sound of bells. "banjiro murmured.
"My name is Haganezuka, I am the one who forged the sword that Kamado Tanjiro will use"
"I'm Kamado Tanjiro, please come inside"
" this is nichirin's sword"
"Yes.. Please come inside"
"I forged this sword"
"Please go inside first"
"Even from this sword are the sand and iron ore of the highest mountains close to the sun. 'The 'deep red iron sand' and 'Dark red iron ore' were all sun-absorbing materials"
"Your body will be dirty if it continues" said Tanjiro, who is still trying to persuade Haganezuka to go inside.
"The original mountain of this material, the sun mountain, is illuminated by the sun entirely. Uninterrupted by clouds or rain"
"As usual the man would not listen to the words of others" the inner Urokodoki heard the voices of Tanjiro and Haganezuka.
"Wait a minute!! Can you stand up first? "Tanjiro's words were cut off when Haganezuka looked at him and surprised Tanjiro at seeing the strange Haganezuka mask.
"Hmm? Ah... Are you the child of Burning Crimson? " ask Haganezuka
"No, no, I'm Tanjiro and his son Kamado Kie"
"I didn't mean it that way, your hair and eyes are red, right? If a family whose business is related to fire then his son will be like you. So it's good luck, be happy and be proud of it" Haganezuka said, pointing at Tanjiro.
"How is it? I don't really understand" Tanjiro replied
"It looks like his sword is about to turn red right? Urokodoki" asked Haganezuka, poking his head behind the door
"Hmm" answered Urokodoki
Tanjiro, Urokodoki, Haganezuka, and Nezuko sat in the living room.
"Try to pull the sword out of its place"
Tanjiro did what Haganezuka told him to do. Slowly Tanjiro drew his sword.
"The other name of the nichirin sword is the sword that changes color, the sword changes to suit its user" Haganezuka explained
"Ohh! " Tanjiro was shocked to learn that his sword had turned black
"I thought I would finally see a deep red sword this time. Shit. " said Haganezuka while pulling Tanjiro's cheek.
"Ows.. Ow sick tau. How old are you? " ask Tanjiro in pain
"37 years old" replied Haganezuka ketus
"Finally Tanjiro is no longer sad" inner Urokodoki.
"Caw caw's. Kamado Tanjiro, hurry to the city to the northwest of Caww. Hurry up and go hunt the devil! This is your first task. Remember that well, in the northwestern city, many young girls are missing. Every night. Every night. There girls. There girls. That suddenly disappeared" a crow alighted the window of Urokodoki's house and informed Tanjiro's first assignment.
Rimuru
"Oho? First job huh? I want to see how strong this demon I'm going to kill is" Rimuru smiled as she stroked the eagle in her hand.
"Why did I get an eagle? " he continued.
Rimuru stood up from her seat, put on her mask and prepared her nichirin sword. Nichirin Rimuru sword has a dark blue color at the end, then starts to dark purple in the middle and ends in black, 3 color gradations.
"it's time to be adventurous" Rimuru muttered smilingly and then stepped out.
"hopefully your journey pleases Rimuru-sama" Diablo said, bowing respectfully to Rimuru
