In fact, the old man was also afraid that he would lose his life because of his objective blind self-confidence and arrogance.
Although Urokodaki Sakonji's disciple was not arrogant subjectively, he showed arrogance in his behavior. As Urokodaki Sakonji said, doing things beyond one's ability is a manifestation of arrogance.
Even if the intention of this matter is good, in the end it may hurt yourself.
"Don't worry, senior! I will definitely live longer than you!" Shin Arashi joked to Urokodaki Sakonji in order to ease the somewhat heavy atmosphere.
"Hey~" Urokodaki Sakonji sighed and finally said nothing more to Shin Arashi. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and signaled to Shin Arashi: "Let's eat!"
After saying that, Urokodaki Sakonji started eating with his chopsticks, no longer caring who Shin Arashi learned the water breathing from.
The older person started to pick up his chopsticks, so Shin Arashi also started to pick up his chopsticks.
Both of them ate the fish fillets very quietly, and the dipping sauce for the fish fillets was very delicious. Shin Arashi felt that the dipping sauce was also suitable for dipping beef or other hot pot ingredients.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer fish slices on the plate, and finally, they were all eaten up by Shin Arashi and Urokodaki Sakonji.
After eating the fish fillets, both of them scooped a bowl of hot fish soup and drank it slowly, and the comfortable feeling of life slowly spread out.
The cold night wind slowly blew into the house. The weak flame under the iron pot danced in the wind. A few sparks flew high into the sky, and then after burning out the last bit of heat, they completely disappeared from this world.
When Shin Arashi and Urokodaki Sakonji were about to finish the fish soup in their bowls, the door outside the wooden house was pushed open, revealing a disheveled Tanjiro gasping for breath.
Tanjiro looked at Shin Arashi and Urokodaki Sakonji, who were drinking fish soup, and said with his last breath: "I'm back~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tanjiro exhausted his strength and fainted at the door.
At this time, Shin Arashi and Urokodaki Sakonji put down their bowls and chopsticks. Urokodaki Sakonji put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, walked in front of Tanjiro, and murmured to the fainted Tanjiro: "I recognize you, Tanjiro~"
After saying that, Urokodaki Sakonji picked up Tanjiro and placed him next to Nezuko.
Tanjiro's breathing was very weak. Such a high-intensity test was indeed his limit.
If it weren't for his extraordinary willpower, Tanjiro would have fainted before he could pass the test.
The next day at noon
The unconscious Tanjiro woke up and felt a soreness all over his body. This was the aftereffect of high-intensity exercise.
"Hiss~"
Tanjiro groaned against the pain in his body and tried to get up. However, at this time, Tanjiro's muscles were no longer under his control, and after trying for a long time, Tanjiro still couldn't get up.
However, Tanjiro smelled a familiar smell, and following the smell, Tanjiro turned his head.
Then, he saw Nezuko sleeping beside him.
— "Nezuko!"
Tanjiro shouted in delight.
Just at this moment, the sound of fighting outside the house attracted Tanjiro's attention.
After recovering a little, Tanjiro slowly pushed open the door of the wooden house.
Outside the house, Shin Arashi was practicing with bamboo swords with Urokodaki Sakonji. The two of them were fighting with the bamboo swords. The crisp snapping sounds of the bamboo swords colliding echoed in Tanjiro's ears.
