[Demon Slayer: The Gentle Man]

Chapter 22 Chapter 22

The next day, when Tanjiro woke up, the sky was already bright, and the warm sunlight shone through the window on their bed, and the temperature of the sun quickly rose above the quilt, which was soft and comfortable, making people want to lie back under the quilt and take a nap. Roll a few times, and then go back to sleep.

Yume Tanjiro couldn't remember clearly last night, only the very familiar scent of wisteria flowers lingered on the tip of his nose.

Among the people Tanjirou is familiar with, there are only two people who smell of wisteria flowers on their bodies, one is Kaneki, and the other is Butterfly Shinobu.

Butterfly Shinobu is not very familiar with him, so it will appear in his dream, only... Tanjirou's face was a little red, he rubbed his face, adjusted his breathing, and looked around.

Kaneki was not in the ward, Zenitsu and Inosuke were still sleeping, and Nezuko's small snoring sound came from the box where she was sleeping.Yoshiyuki Tomioka on the opposite side woke up, leaning against the head of the bed, silently looking at the bandage wrapped around his arm.

Mr. Tomioka seemed to be seriously injured. When he first entered the ward, he looked weak and was given a lot of medicine.Tanjiro looked at his current expression, should he be worthy of being Zhu?Tomioka Yoshiyuki's face is very calm now, as if taking off the bandage on his arm, he can immediately pick up the knife and kill those evil ghosts.

Breakfast and medicine were delivered quickly, and Zenitsu and Inosuke were woken up by Xiaokui and the others.Shan Yi reluctantly huddled under the quilt and thought about it. Inosuke's voice was still recovering, and he ate and drank medicine honestly.

After the meal, Butterfly came over to check their health.

"Ala, Mr. Tomioka is recovering well. If there is no accident, you can continue to go on missions after drinking the medicine for the past few days." Butterfly Ren's words made Tomioka Yoshiyuki's calm expression finally fluctuate a little.

"I can do it right now..." Butterfly Ren refused him with a smile, "No, I won't give you the knife until I'm sure your wound has healed and your physical condition has basically recovered." Hearing what she said, Fu Gang Yiyong also understood that no matter what he said, it would be futile.Butterfly Ninja can say these words, which shows that the lord is also aware of his physical condition, and only the lord can restrain the pillars who have never cared much about his injuries.

A figure appeared at the door of the ward. It was Kaneki who went to the pharmacy to look for Butterfly Shinobi last night.

Tanjirou's sense of smell detected Kaneki's presence faster than his eyes.The scent of wisteria flowers, which was exactly the same as that of the person in the dream, emanated continuously from Jin Mu's body.Smelling the light fragrance of flowers, Tanjiro was in a daze, he didn't even notice Zenitsu called him.

"Hey, Tanjirou, Tanjirou? Are you okay? Why don't you talk?" Zenitsu's worried voice finally reached Tanjirou's ears.

"Huh?" Tanjiro shook his head, his eyes focused, and everyone in the room looked at him worriedly. "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now. I made you worry." Tanjiro smiled at them, his eyes moved to Kaneki involuntarily, paused, and looked away again.

To be honest, Tanjiro actually doesn't know what's going on now.When he was half a child, his father passed away, and he shouldered the responsibility of raising his younger brothers and sisters on his small shoulders.The sudden disaster made him suffer a huge blow, the hatred of his family's life being taken away, and the determination to turn Nezuko back into a human supported him.

In this state, he has no time or energy to think about things that are normal for ordinary people.

When he was on a mission, he saw couples walking side by side on the road, couples wiping each other’s sweat in the fields, and old couples sitting together on the porch basking in the sun. He also fantasized about the future, maybe he can find a lover too , lived a plain and happy life.

Just think about it.

The hoarse shouts of the ravens urging, the terrified cries of the people facing the evil spirits, and the buzzing sound of the sun wheel knife cutting off the evil spirits' heads brought him back to reality.

He kept telling himself, don't think about anything else, think about Nezuko, think about those people whose lives are threatened by ghosts, only swinging the knife, unswervingly swinging the knife forward, is him Tanjiro Kamado, now Should do.

But when he thought of the bright red hot organs in his chest, when he saw Jin Mu, the beating rhythm would be disrupted by a sudden force.

Mr. Kaneki who obviously just inherited his mother's last wish and could choose to leave him and Nezuko alone.Mr. Kaneki, who is so powerful and calm, is willing to answer his doubts. When Nezuko was sleeping, he wrote to comfort him and encourage Mr. Kaneki.

And Mr. Kaneki who caught himself who was about to fall in the yard yesterday.

He didn't understand why Mr. Kaneki treated him and Nezuko so well.If it was just to fulfill his promise to his mother, he has done a good job.I am now a full-fledged member of the Ghost Killing Team, and Nezuko has also awakened and passed the test of the Ghost Killing Team.Everything was fine, and it was time for him to pick himself up again.Don't let others feel troubled, Tanjiro.

Just when Tanjiro made up his mind to bury this matter in his heart forever, Kaneki had already walked to his hospital bed and patted his head.

"Tanjiro, are you willing to be my stepson?" Kaneki cut to the point, and the question he threw out caused Tanjiro, who was already in a mess in his mind, to be in a trance for a while.

what happened?What is Mr. Kaneki talking about?Isn't only Zhu able to adopt a stepson?what was i thinkingWhat's for dinner tonight?Can stepson eat it?Tanjiro thought a lot in a daze, and finally regained his sanity, and formed a high-pitched trio with two partners beside him, "Huh?!!!" x3

"It's true." Butterfly answered the questions of the three of them with a smile, "Because Jin Mu was a first-class soldier a long time ago, and it was only a matter of time before he became a pillar. He applied to the lord to recruit his stepson in advance, Your lord agrees. Congratulations, Tanjiro, for finding such a strong teacher. Work hard.” The words that came out of Butterfly Shinobu confirmed that Kaneki’s question just now was true.

"I am willing!" Tanjiro almost bounced off the bed, sat down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your willingness to guide me, I will work hard!" Tanjiro blushed and looked very energetic.Kaneki put one hand on Tanjirou's forehead, making sure he didn't have a fever, and then let go.

The two grievances in the next bed are about to take shape.They also want to be stepson, and they also want to become stronger!Tanjiro is so lucky.

"Okay, Tanjirou, you don't have to be too impatient. Before you go out with Kaneki on a mission, you need to perform functional recovery training." "Functional recovery training?" Tanjiro was a little confused when he heard this word for the first time. "Yes. Let's work hard." Butterfly encouraged him with a smile, and did not reveal how difficult the devil's recovery training was.

Kaneki knows about resuming training. For Tanjiro and the others who have been bedridden for many days, resuming training is very necessary.

"Then, before going out on a mission together, Tanjiro, you have to take good care of yourself and train hard. I will come to pick you up after you finish training." Kaneki's raven has been hopping outside the window for a long time, and if he waits longer, he probably I'm about to scold the street.

"Well, you too, be careful all the way." Tanjiro said goodbye to him solemnly.

Seeing Kaneki's figure walk out of the courtyard, Tanjiro clenched his fists and made up his mind that he must quickly become stronger and fight side by side with Kaneki as soon as possible!
