Rengoku looked pained as he fell on the ground, but then he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, this is really interesting! Using sword skills like that!"
He didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, he found the fight interesting. In all his training and real battles, he had never seen anything like this.
Takeshi said without holding back, "I'm just using it flexibly."
Rengoku Kyojuro held up one finger and said, "If you can just take one more move from me, I'll admit it! I'll accept Tanjiro and Nezuko with both hands."
"I'll make you accept it with both hands, and you'll really mean it."
Takeshi said calmly.
Giyu Tomioka, who hadn't said anything, stared at Takeshi, his face expressionless, but his eyes showed a hint of confusion.
Ubuyashiki, who was blind, couldn't see anything. But just by listening, he knew that Takeshi had real skill.
Rengoku Kyojuro stretched his arms and legs a bit and looked at Takeshi in front of him. "Haha, are you ready?"
He put his sword on his shoulder.
"Bring it on!"
Takeshi raised his hand a little.
"Total Concentration! Flame Breathing! Fifth Form, Flame Tiger."
A huge gust of hot air suddenly came from Rengoku Kyojuro's body, and the swinging blade stirred up this air.
Rengoku charged forward, swinging his sword in a huge slash that looked like a burning tiger.
Takeshi stood firm and took a deep breath. Total Concentration! Light Breathing! Fifth Form: Light Slash.
Light Breathing! Fifth Form: Light Slash.
This was the strongest slashing move in Light Breathing. It was an explosive move that could be used against one or many enemies.
When used against many enemies, it created a light that turned into slashing blades to kill them.
When the two entered each other's attack range, the two swords crashed together with a loud bang. White light temporarily surrounded the area, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
As the white light slowly disappeared and their vision returned, they saw Takeshi standing not far away.
Rengoku Kyojuro was lying on the ground against the wall of the yard. The loud bang had sent him flying, sword and all. It was lucky that the wall had stopped him, or he would have flown much further.
"Cough, cough cough..."
Blood came out of Rengoku Kyojuro's mouth.
Shinobu quickly stepped forward and helped Rengoku Kyojuro up. She took out a pill and put it in his mouth.
Rengoku, feeling better, used his sword to help him stand up. He wiped the blood from his mouth and raised his hands, accepting defeat. "You win! We have to fight again next time."
"I'm always ready!"
Takeshi smiled.
Seeing that Rengoku Kyojuro had been badly defeated, Uzui Tengen stepped forward, giving a thumbs up. "You won in a really flashy way! You've got the skill."
They were all Hashiras, with the goal of slaying demons. After seeing Takeshi's strength in the fight with Rengoku, Uzui accepted Takeshi and no longer disagreed about Nezuko.
"Ah... Are we really going to accept this poor child?"
Himejima Gyomei's eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing that the three of them had changed their minds, Sanemi still didn't agree. How could they allow a demon to exist in the Demon Slayer Corps? That was impossible!!!
He looked at Tanjiro, who was holding the wooden box not far away, grabbed the sword on the ground, and ran towards him.
With one swing, he could cut the wooden box in half, and the demon inside would definitely die!
Takeshi's heart tightened, and he quickly ran towards Tanjiro. Tanjiro realized the danger and turned around, holding the wooden box.
He didn't have time to do anything. The only thing he could do was use his own body to protect the wooden box, to protect Nezuko inside.
Takeshi was a bit far from Tanjiro, and Shinazugawa's sword was about to hit Tanjiro.
Then, Giyu Tomioka suddenly appeared, using his sword to block Shinazugawa's sword that was about to stab Tanjiro. He put away his sword and said slowly, without any emotion, "Don't be sneaky."
"Tomioka Giyu! You're protecting a demon!!!"
Sanemi shouted angrily.
Tomioka Giyu looked up. "Yes."
He didn't say another word.
Takeshi was filled with anger. This time, Shinazugawa had really made him angry. He had attacked the badly injured Tanjiro and Nezuko while he wasn't ready. That was unforgivable.
He grabbed Shinazugawa's silver hair and pulled him down from behind, slamming him to the ground.
As Shinazugawa was swinging his sword, Takeshi grabbed the sword from him and threw it to Tomioka Giyu. Takeshi held Shinazugawa down with one arm, so he couldn't get up from the ground.
"You've completely made me angry. You're going to pay!"
As he said this, he raised his other hand, made a fist, and swung it hard towards Shinazugawa's face.
The punch hit the ground, making a small hole. Blood came out of Takeshi's fist.
"Hehe, you dodged, huh?"
Shinazugawa pushed Takeshi's hand away and rolled over, getting up from the ground. He gritted his teeth and glanced at Tomioka Giyu, who had no expression on his face.
It was all because of him. Otherwise, he would have succeeded, instead of being attacked by Takeshi again.
Takeshi slowly stood up, looked at the blood on the back of his hand, and a cold smile appeared on his face. It seemed like he hadn't hit him hard enough before. He still didn't know his place.
"Mr. Shinazugawa..."
Mitsuri frowned and said softly. This time, she also thought that Shinazugawa had gone too far. Mr. Tomioka hadn't done anything wrong.
"I'm sorry everyone, your Hashira Meeting will have to be delayed a bit. I need to borrow Shinazugawa for a while!"
What did he mean, 'borrow' Shinazugawa? What was Takeshi going to do? Everyone looked confused. Even Shinazugawa was a bit stunned. This guy wanted to borrow him?
While he was stunned, Takeshi grabbed Shinazugawa by the collar and jumped over the wall with him.
The two of them disappeared before everyone's eyes. They looked at each other, wondering what would happen to Shinazugawa, who didn't have a sword.
Tanjiro, holding the wooden box, was going to chase after them, but Giyu Tomioka put his hand on his shoulder, stopping him.
Tanjiro had to stop and wait quietly for his senior, Takeshi, to come back.
Shinobu looked at the wall that Takeshi and Shinazugawa had jumped over, without saying a word.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya reached out, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on his hand. Shinazugawa had really done something wrong this time. It was good to use this chance to make him realize his mistakes.
