Similar to the original plot, Tanjiro chased after Urokodaki all the way.
When Urokodaki returned to his residence in Gorge Mist Mountain, Tanjiro, who had been chasing him all the way, was exhausted.
Urokodaki invited Horitake into his house. After Horitake settled Nezuko, Urokodaki took Tanjiro to Gorge Mist Mountain to start the second test. The second test required Tanjiro to go down the mountain before dawn, and he needed to pass through layers of traps in the middle.
After throwing Tanjiro alone on the mountain, Urokodaki came back alone.
In Urokodaki's house, Nezuko played alone, leaving Horitake and Urokodaki in the middle of the house, lighting a fire and sitting opposite each other.
The two looked at each other, staring at each other, and no one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Urokodaki didn't speak because he had just been defeated and failed in front of the younger generation, which was really a bit embarrassing.
Horitake didn't speak because he really didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, they both had a common topic, which was Tanjiro.
Urokotaki asked Horitake:
"I have set up countless traps on Mt. Kyogiri. Do you think Tanjiro can complete my test?"
Horitake said confidently:
"This kid has extraordinary talent, I believe he can do it!"
Looking at Horitake carefully, Urokotaki looked again and again, wondering:
"I really don't know why you have so much confidence in him."
"I certainly have confidence in Tanjiro," Horitake said, looking at Nezuko who was beginning to feel sleepy,"Tanjiro has his reasons for completing the test, his sister is still waiting for him here, he will never fail, and he will never fall."
Infected by Horitake's tone, Urokodaki seemed to recall the past:
"Yes, human will can create miracles...
And you, boy, you are so young but so powerful. It is a blessing for that guy Kuangdao to have a disciple like you."
"Haha, it’s my blessing to have such a master. If it weren’t for that stinky old guy, I would have died long ago. How could I be where I am today?"
"You are also a person full of stories."
"Yes, it's not easy for anyone these days."
The old and the young talked for a long time about Horitake himself and the recent situation of Kuwajima Jigoro.
Unknowingly, time passed and Nezuko fell asleep.
Looking at the charcoal fire gradually extinguished, Urokodaki estimated the time:
"It's almost dawn, it's almost time……"
Hori Gaku also became serious.
In the original work, Tanjiro rushed back at the last minute and completed Urokodaki's test, but now Tanjiro is injured, and the process of going down the mountain will definitely not be as smooth as in the original work.
However, Hori Gaku still has full confidence in Tanjiro, he is the protagonist!
While the two were thinking, the door of the house was suddenly pulled open, and Tanjiro's embarrassed figure appeared at the door.
Hori Gaku and Urokodaki looked over and saw Tanjiro holding the door frame and breathing heavily. His clothes were dirty and torn, and his hair was full of grass clippings and leaves. There was blood on his shoulders, neck, and face. You can imagine how difficult his experience was.
The sun rose, and the sunlight shone on Tanjiro. Exhausted Tanjiro could no longer hold on and knelt at the door.
Urokodaki smiled for the first time in a long time:
""Well done, Tanjiro."
Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief after being recognized by Master Urokodaki.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Tanjiro could no longer hold on, and staggered against the door frame and fell asleep.
From the night before yesterday when he encountered the Buddhist temple ghost to the morning when he completed the test, Tanjiro had not closed his eyes. His mind was always tense and his body was exhausted.
He could finally rest for a while.
Horitake and Urokodaki dragged Tanjiro into the house, found a room to put him, and let him have a good rest.
At the same time, the electronic sound of the system sounded in Horitake's mind:
"Ding! Confirmed that Urokodaki Sakonji is willing to accept Kamado Tanjiro as his apprentice. The host successfully resolved the negative butterfly effect, completed the mission, and obtained the mission reward.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special ability: clairvoyance!
Ding! Warm reminder, after the host obtains clairvoyance, he can see many things that ordinary people cannot see."
Clairvoyance? Hori
Gaku didn't feel any difference, but he felt that his eyesight was clearer.
Clairvoyance and the like will be slowly experimented with later. Now that the mission is completed and Tanjiro is settled, it's time for Hori Gaku to leave.
Hori Gaku stood up and bowed to Urokodaki:
"Master Urokodaki, I'll leave Tanjiro and Nezuko in your care from now on."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Nodding, Hori Gaku pushed open the door, walked out, and prepared to leave Gorge Mt. Kyomu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he set foot on the road down the mountain, he discovered something, activated his spiritual vision, turned around and looked...
In the mist, Hori Gaku clearly saw two figures.
They were a boy and a girl.
The boy had orange hair and wore a fox mask with scars; the girl was petite and wore a fox mask with blue flowers printed on it.
Hori Gaku recognized the two people almost instantly. They were Satoshi and Makomo.
These are the two most unforgettable characters in Demon Slayer.
Hori Gaku stopped and saluted Satoshi and Makomo:
"Tanjiro and Nezuko, please take care of them."
Santo and Makomo were a little surprised, and Makomo asked hesitantly:
"You...can you see us? We have already……"
"I can see you guys," Horitake pointed at his eyes with a little pride,"Just like Tanjiro's extraordinary sense of smell, my eyes also have special abilities and can see things that others can't see."
Santo nodded:
"I understand. Tanjiro is my junior fellow apprentice. I will take good care of him."
After saying goodbye to Santo and Makomo, Hori Gaku went down the mountain, officially left Kyogoku Mountain, and started to rush to Momoyama.
It took about another day, and Hori Gaku finally returned to the town at the foot of Momoyama.
Here, it is almost at the doorstep of home, and the next journey is just up the mountain.
While strolling in the town, Hori Gaku muttered to himself:
This time, I have been out for almost a week. After I go back, the stinky old man will definitely ask endless questions again. I must not tell anyone about the system. How should I fool the stinky old man when I go back?
It's a headache.
There is no way, buy two bottles of good wine in the town, just as an apology to the stinky old man, hoping that the wine can shut him up and stop the stinky old man from asking questions.
Just when Hori Gaku finished buying wine in the store, he heard a quarrel outside.
The first to bear the brunt was the ferocious voices of several men:
"You bastard! How many days have passed? You still haven't paid me back!"
"Do you know how much money you owe?"
"If you don’t pay me back this time, I’ll break your legs!"
In addition to these angry shouts, there were crackling sounds of beatings, and covered by the sounds of beatings, there were also miserable begging and crying:
""Wuwuwu... Stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me, I'll die! I'll definitely die! Brothers, if I die, I'll never be able to pay you back, right?"
This voice... sounds a bit familiar.
Hori Gaku thought of something, and a black line appeared on his head. Could it be... He walked out of the store with the wine in his hand and checked the situation outside.
On the street in the town, several burly men were punching and kicking a teenager. The teenager was cowardly, holding his head and huddled on the ground, begging for mercy while being beaten.
This kind of excitement is rare, and many people watched from a distance, pointing and talking.
