Chapter 69 - IBIDS Chapter 69: Sword Clash: Rengoku's Challenge

After hearing what Takeshi said, Ubuyashiki nodded a little, agreeing.

Takeshi was right. There were good and bad people, and it was the same with demons! And he had actually met a good demon - Miss Tamayo!

Without the hand on his head, Tanjiro quickly sat up straight, held the wooden box, and stood behind Takeshi.

Tanjiro's eyes changed as he looked at Sanemi Shinazugawa. He was angry. Even after the fight they had just had, he still wouldn't accept that Nezuko existed.

Some members disagreed, and some agreed without saying anything. As the Lord Oyakata-sama, Ubuyashiki couldn't just make a decision based on what he wanted.

He lowered his head a little and said, "Bring out the letter."

The young girl agreed and took out a letter from her kimono. She opened it in front of everyone.

"This letter was sent by Mr. Sakonji Urokodaki, who used to be a Hashira. I will now read a part of it to you all."

The young girl started to read.

Takeshi knew that Ubuyashiki wanted to use the letter that Mr. Urokodaki had written to convince the people who disagreed. But what Sanemi Shinazugawa had said earlier had really made him angry.

"Wait a minute before you read the letter! I think there's something else we can do first."

"Nagasawa Aoyama!!!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa shouted, trying to control his anger.

He was interrupting what Lord Oyakata-sama was going to do! Shinazugawa clenched his fist at his side without thinking, and his bones cracked.

Takeshi didn't care if Shinazugawa was angry or why he was angry. Since he still couldn't agree even after the lesson he had just been taught, it didn't really matter if they read the letter or not. Even if they read the letter, they would still disagree.

It would be better to do what he wanted to do first, and then listen to Mr. Urokodaki's letter.

"What is it, Takeshi? Tell everyone what you're thinking."

Ubuyashiki told him to say what he wanted to say.

Takeshi looked at Himejima Gyomei, Uzui Tengen, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Sanemi Shinazugawa, the four people who disagreed.

"Some of the Hashiras said they wanted proof. I want to give them proof now. We can listen to Mr. Urokodaki's letter after I've given them proof."

Tanjiro, who was behind Takeshi, tugged on his sleeve.

"Senior Takeshi, are you going to fight them all? Let me fight with you for Nezuko!"

Tanjiro's voice got louder at the end. As her older brother, he would protect his sister, Nezuko, even if he died! Now, Senior Takeshi was going to fight four people, and they were all Hashiras! He had to do his part, even if it wasn't much.

Seeing Tanjiro's fighting spirit, Shinobu Kocho kindly reminded him, "Your injuries are just not hurting for now. They haven't been healed."

"Thank you for reminding me. I think I can do it!"

Tanjiro thanked her loudly, looking determined, with angry eyes looking at Shinazugawa.

Rengoku, who had been wanting to fight for a while, said loudly, "Lord Oyakata-sama, please allow us! Let us prove whether or not we should keep the demon around!"

Ubuyashiki didn't say anything, but he lifted his hand a little, which meant that he was allowing Rengoku's request.

They were all his dear children. Was this Takeshi really talented, or was he just young and reckless? He wanted to prove his guess.

Getting permission, Rengoku quickly stood up from the ground, pulled out his sword, and aimed it straight at Takeshi.

Takeshi had been ready since Rengoku stood up. He quickly pulled Tanjiro away from his side and pulled out his sword to block Rengoku's attack.

"Haha, you blocked it!"

Rengoku laughed loudly.

He hadn't said anything beforehand, just like when Shinazugawa had kicked him the first time. Back then, none of them had known that Takeshi was there.

Now, he wanted to surprise Takeshi, too.

Takeshi protected Tanjiro and the wooden box he was holding with one hand, and glanced behind him. "If you want to help, help protect Nezuko! Leave everything else to me!"

Tanjiro nodded hard, holding the wooden box and stepping back, one step at a time.

After just one move, Rengoku was already excited. If they were going to fight, they should really fight.

"Haha, if you beat me, I'll accept Tanjiro and his demon sister."

Takeshi smiled a little. "Okay."

This was what he wanted.

"Total Concentration Breathing! Flame Breathing! First Form: Unknowing Fire."

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho's face changed a little. When Takeshi and Mr. Shinazugawa had fought, they had just been having a normal fight. But now, Rengoku Kyojuro was using Breathing Techniques!

The red blade, with flame patterns on it, looked like it could cut through the air as it swung towards him.

Takeshi frowned a little and quickly moved his feet, running up to a tree. He ran up the tree trunk, and when his feet were both on a branch, the whole tree shook.

Crack! The whole tree was cut down by Rengoku.

He had done what he wanted to do. Takeshi didn't care if the tree was cut down or not. He jumped up, holding his sword over his head with both hands.

Total Concentration! Light Breathing! First Form: Flash.

The blade shone with small lights, and his body moved as he swung it down towards Rengoku Kyojuro below.

"Ah!!!"

Seeing this, Mitsuri gasped.

At the last second, Rengoku used his sword to block the attack coming from above. His legs bent a little, taking the force.

Sanemi, who was standing to the side, kept his eyes on the two of them. If he had used Breathing Techniques, he wouldn't have been hit like that.

The two of them stepped back a bit. Rengoku Kyojuro's hand, which was holding the sword, was shaking a little.

Takeshi adjusted his breathing, turned the hand that was holding the sword to the left, and quickly charged forward.

Rengoku also held his sword and faced him head-on.

Clang! The two swords crashed together, making a noise and sending out sparks where they touched.

Just as Rengoku Kyojuro was using all his strength in his arms to hold back Takeshi's sword, Takeshi changed his move.

Takeshi suddenly pulled his sword away and leaned to the side. Rengoku lost his balance and stumbled forward.

Takeshi grabbed his chance, quickly reaching out and grabbing Rengoku's cloak. He pulled hard, and Rengoku fell to the ground on his back.
