"Ehh?!!"
Agatsuma Zenitsu was stunned. He glanced at Tanjiro, then looked at Rengoku Kyojuro, momentarily dazed.
"Disciple? What's that? Is it edible?" Inosuke was full of question marks, really not understanding what a 'Disciple' was.
"Disciple, me?" Tanjiro was also a bit surprised. Clearly, he hadn't expected that he would actually be chosen by a 'Hashira'.
Originally, he didn't know the meaning of 'Disciple' either, but on his first day staying here, a member of the Kakushi had told him what it meant.
That's why Tanjiro was quite surprised at this moment, because a Disciple is a swordsman trained by a current 'Hashira'; they wouldn't be chosen unless they possessed considerable talent and excellence.
"Yes, you." Rengoku Kyojuro nodded slightly as he looked at Tanjiro and said seriously, "Your battle against the Twelve Moons was beautiful. I believe everyone's opinion of you and your sister has changed greatly after seeing that wonderful fight."
In fact, regarding Tanjiro keeping his 'sister,' Rengoku Kyojuro and the other Hashira had only temporarily accepted them because of the Master, and because Nezuko, even in a starved state, did not drink Sanemi's 'rare blood.'
This was what allowed them to provisionally acknowledge the pair.
However, through the video, Rengoku Kyojuro also saw the power Nezuko unleashed to protect Tanjiro—a power called 'family.'
Even though she was so severely injured that she fell into a coma, she relied on her mother's call to wake up and give Tanjiro the strength to slay the Twelve Moons.
This point alone moved Rengoku Kyojuro, a Hashira who had slain countless demons.
Rengoku Kyojuro believed that not only himself, but others would also have a greatly improved view of Nezuko after seeing that video.
Speaking of which, Rengoku Kyojuro looked at Tanjiro very seriously and said, "So, I want to take you as my Disciple. Before you have fully grown, I will protect you and train you."
"No matter what kind of demon it is, even if Upper Rank One and Kibutsuji Muzan come to kill you, I will not let them harm you in the slightest."
Perhaps realizing he was being too arrogant by saying that even Upper Rank One and Kibutsuji Muzan couldn't harm Tanjiro...
Rengoku Kyojuro couldn't help but laugh loudly. "Of course, the premise of my words is that I haven't been killed by the two of them first!"
Although it was only a few short sentences, Tanjiro could hear Rengoku Kyojuro's sincere intentions.
If such an emergency truly occurred, he would definitely Stand up and risk his life to protect him.
"I accept." Tanjiro nodded. He couldn't refuse the offer, as having the guidance of a current Hashira would definitely increase his strength by a large margin.
Only by increasing his strength could he defeat Kibutsuji Muzan and successfully turn Nezuko back into a human.
"What about me?! What about me?!"
At this time, Inosuke started shouting; he also wanted a 'Hashira' to help him train.
He had once seen the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, slay a demon he couldn't defeat with a single strike.
That powerful strength made Inosuke very envious, so he also wanted to become that kind of powerhouse.
"Um... could I trouble you to guide me as well?" Agatsuma Zenitsu also didn't want to miss this opportunity.
In the past, he might have found it too troublesome and wouldn't have taken the initiative to fight for this chance.
But now it was different. After watching four inventory videos, Agatsuma Zenitsu was fired up; he would definitely not let this great opportunity slip away!
"Hahahaha, rest assured, I will guide you all well." Rengoku Kyojuro laughed as he looked at Inosuke and Agatsuma Zenitsu, naturally knowing about their performance during the Natagumo Mountain mission.
They had shown excellent strength, and Rengoku Kyojuro greatly appreciated such outstanding talent.
Just as Rengoku Kyojuro was about to say, "Since your injuries are mostly healed, why don't I teach you some practical combat now?"
The video recovered from its brief black screen, and the image reappeared.
This made Rengoku Kyojuro immediately change his words, looking at Tanjiro and the others. "Perfect, let's finish watching this inventory video first, and then go train afterward."
"Yes!" x3
In fact, even without Rengoku Kyojuro saying anything, the three of them didn't plan on training once they saw the video start playing.
Inside the Infinity Castle.
At this moment, Kibutsuji Muzan had just finished 'downsizing' her staff. She was surrounded by blood as she commanded Lower Rank One—Enmu—to kill the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Or to capture Tanjiro and bring him to the Infinity Castle, promising him more blood in return.
Now, Kibutsuji Muzan didn't want to kill Tanjiro because she felt Kokushibo's words made sense.
Rather than killing the sole successor of Sun Breathing, it was better to turn him into a demon; only that would bring her greater pleasure.
Perhaps the current Demon Slayer Corps members didn't clearly understand what Sun Breathing represented.
But both Kibutsuji Muzan and Kokushibo knew that Sun Breathing was the breathing of *that* man.
The Origin Breathing, Sun Breathing, Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
This was no secret among the Demon Slayer Corps members of the Sengoku era, but in this era, it was estimated that not many people remembered 'Tsugikuni Yoriichi.'
Precisely because they knew of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's existence, Kibutsuji Muzan and Kokushibo were so interested in Tanjiro.
Whether the other party wanted to become a demon or not didn't matter; as long as the two of them were happy and amused!
Furthermore, to avoid 'Gilgamesh' actually crossing worlds to find her...
Kibutsuji Muzan had specifically placed a new curse on Enmu: if he encountered that 'Gilgamesh,' he would die instantly.
This ensured he wouldn't reveal any information about the Infinity Castle; otherwise, Kibutsuji Muzan wouldn't have let him leave so peacefully.
After all, in the comments section, Gilgamesh had tagged her, stating he would be coming soon and would bring Kibutsuji Muzan her favorite Wisteria flower tea and the sun she wanted to bask in most.
"Oh? Has the video resumed?" After letting Enmu leave, Kibutsuji Muzan looked at the multiverse projection and revealed an interested smile.
She was now quite curious about what kind of surprise the next person in the inventory would bring her.
Not just in the Demon Slayer World.
People in other worlds once again put down what they were doing and fixed their eyes on the translucent screen, curious about what kind of surprise the next existence would bring them.
A line of text appeared on the dark screen.
