Giyu Tomioka again found a reason that sounded very reasonable to retire, it could be seen from his firm tone that he seemed to really want to give this position to the more qualified Ryuji.
And Kagaya Ubuyashiki actually knew the real reason for Giyu Tomioka's retirement in his heart, this might also be a knot in Giyu Tomioka's heart!
But it was also because of that time that Giyu Tomioka became stronger, and took over the name of Water Pillar from his master Sakonji Urokodaki. However, the name of the Pillar seemed to have become his burden, making him work even harder.
However, Ryuji still did not mean to take over the position, but rather said very modestly: "Giyu-senpai, the name of the Water Pillar was earned by you with your life, it should belong to you, in terms of Water Breathing alone, I am really not as good as you. After all, I learned a Wood Breathing, I learned a bit, so my Water Breathing is not pure enough, I cannot become the Water Pillar."
"No, you are qualified, I see his shadow in you!" Giyu Tomioka said very firmly.
"Giyu, escaping cannot solve any problems." Kagaya Ubuyashiki then reminded Giyu Tomioka.
"I am not escaping! I am just letting the name of the Water Pillar return to the person it belongs to!" Giyu Tomioka explained.
"Your behavior of retiring is escaping, not only escaping the responsibility of being a Pillar, but also escaping the past that you cannot let go of, have you not let go of what happened back then?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki continued to say to Giyu Tomioka, seemingly wanting to use this opportunity to let Giyu Tomioka let go of the burden in his heart.
This time, Giyu Tomioka was stunned, his mind suddenly seemed to return to what Kagaya Ubuyashiki said back then.
It was because Kagaya Ubuyashiki knew each Pillar extremely well, understood their past, and constantly gave them spiritual comfort. This was one of the reasons why the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps trusted Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Ryuji was somewhat puzzled, whose shadow did Giyu Tomioka see in him? To actually make him give up the position of Water Pillar.
But the more this was the case, the more Ryuji could not let Giyu Tomioka succeed.
And when Kagaya Ubuyashiki finished saying these words, he could not help but cough violently.
"Master!" The others were somewhat anxious.
And Kagaya Ubuyashiki's wife went to pat her husband's back and smooth his breathing at the first moment.
"Tomioka made the Master angry! What to do?!" Mitsuri Kanroji could not help but worry secretly in her heart.
"Tomioka, if anything happens to the Master, you cannot escape responsibility!" The irritable Sanemi Shinazugawa said to Giyu Tomioka fiercely.
Giyu Tomioka did not speak again, seemingly also afraid that saying anything more would make Kagaya Ubuyashiki's situation serious.
With the help of his wife, Kagaya Ubuyashiki recovered in a short while, and then said to everyone: "I'm fine, this is not Giyu's fault, it's my own body's reason."
The reason why Kagaya Ubuyashiki was like this was not because he was angered by Giyu Tomioka. Since he was young, because of his weak body, Kagaya Ubuyashiki had never been angry, and had never been angry.
The cough just now was also because he had said too much during the meeting, and had consumed a lot of energy.
"Giyu, even for your deceased sworn friend, the name of the Water Pillar should not be given to Ryuji, because the name of the Water Pillar is not just a name for you, but also something you need to protect." Kagaya Ubuyashiki finally persuaded Giyu Tomioka.
