Where should I go after being transported to Demon Slayer?

Tanjiro was sent flying by a wooden stick once again.

Its entire head rubbed against the ground, creating a groove.

"Tanjiro, you're too slow. You're completely out of your depth. If the puppet had a real sword instead of a wooden stick, you'd be dead already. Cheer up!"

"Today is the fifth day. Tomorrow I'll have the puppet carry a knife."

Tanjiro struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth as he said, "No! If you use a stick, I'll get beaten to death! I'm going to die!"

Xiao Tie walked over and said, "You don't have any food to eat today either."

Tanjiro's tears flowed. Kotetsu had strong analytical skills, but he knew nothing about swordsmanship.

"Get up now, get up right now!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

"stand up."

after a few days

Tanjiro's health had deteriorated to an extreme degree, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.

Do you think he might starve to death?

Tianyi tilted his head and looked at Ye Fan.

"No, he's the main character."

Ye Fan chuckled coldly, "Who said the protagonist doesn't necessarily die? Have you ever watched Mole's World?"

Tianyi didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"There are no eternal protagonists. Bad things have already happened, so why can't we accept them? After all, we can't escape them, can we?"

Tian nodded.

“I’ve made some progress these past few days, and I’m ready to leave today. I believe you can handle them; after all, you’re Tianyi.”

The puppet's hand had transformed into a real sword, and it began slashing at Tanjiro.

"left."

Tanjiro looked to his left, only to find that the sword was already coming at him.

spell

The sword stopped in front of Tanjiro, but thankfully Tenichi intervened in time.

The puppet's attacks continued, but Tianyi easily parried and retaliated.

Tianyi seized the opportunity to repel the puppet, and then quickly shut it down.

"Are you okay?"

Tenichi turned around and looked at Tanjiro, who looked haggard.

Tanjiro's eyes filled with tears as he looked at Tenichi with gratitude.

"Thank you, Brother Tianyi."

Tian nodded. "Go and fight with peace of mind. I'll be watching from the sidelines."

Tanjiro's smiling face instantly fell, as this was not what he had expected.

"Ok."

As soon as Tianyi opened the mechanism, the puppet started moving again.

Tanjiro watched this scene numbly, feeling little emotion anymore.

"let's start."

I hardly drink water, eat, or sleep.

Not long after they started fighting, Tanjiro's eyes rolled back during the battle.

"Tanjiro-nii."

Xiao Tie exclaimed in surprise and tried to step forward, but Tian Yi stopped him.

"He's fine."

Have I arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness? Why are there ghosts all around me?

Tanjiro looked around and accidentally fell into the water.

I feel like I've become a starving ghost.

The river was very dark, and my body felt very heavy. I could only feel warm human hands kneading me.

I looked into the water, my mind hazy, and saw something glowing.

I was being kneaded and squeezed while I tried to grab it.

Incredibly, this glowing stone also has a scent when it's in water.

Tanjiro gripped the stone and instantly woke up.

What's that smell?

Unlike the lines of weakness, here comes the left side of the head, neck, right chest, left side of the abdomen, right leg, and right shoulder.

Tanjiro dodged the attack by leaning back.

He quickly turned around and finally managed to strike the doll.

Tanjiro lay prone on the ground. He had succeeded; he had finally landed a blow.

"You finally managed to hit him, Tanjiro-nii. Although it wasn't strong enough, the puppet didn't budge. Here's your food."

Upon hearing that he could eat, Tanjiro looked up instantly, his eyes already brimming with tears.

"I want rice balls, dried plums, and premium green tea."

Tanjiro ate the rice ball in his hand, his face full of happiness.

"delicious."

He ate while tears streamed down his face.

After all, they still have to keep fighting after they finish eating.

A few days later

He can now see the doll's attacks and understand its movements.

"Okay, very good, I can understand his movements."

I understand things much better than before, and my stamina is keeping up with the training.

I can tell where my opponent is aiming just by smell, so Tanjiro charged forward again.

He was extremely confident in his abilities.

This smell appeared even before the lines of the flaw appeared.

Tanjiro slashed out and then leaped away, dodging the puppet's counterattack.

"Very good, you hit the mark. Now it's my full-force attack."

But what if it gets broken?

Tanjiro slowly turned his sword sideways, after all, he didn't want to damage Kotetsu's things.

At this moment, a voice came over.

"Cut it down? If it's broken, it's broken. I'll definitely fix it."

The next moment, Tanjiro's eyes hardened instantly.

"Tanjiro, you're too kind. You shouldn't have hesitated when you struck. But it's precisely because you're this kind of person that I hope you don't die, and I hope you become stronger than anyone else."

Tanjiro narrowly escaped a blow, but some of his hair was still cut off.

Tanjiro spun around with all his might and slashed his sword directly at the puppet, which shattered the sword in the process.

Tanjiro fell to the ground, clutching his buttocks.

"Tanjiro-nii, are you alright?"

Tanjiro clutched his buttocks and cried out in pain, "Ouch! I'm sorry, I broke the sword you lent me."

Xiao Tie shook his head. "A broken knife is fine."

Tianyi slowly approached the doll and looked at the shattered doll.

There is a knife inside the doll's body.

As the doll broke, the two turned around in shock.

The two little ones immediately hugged each other. "What's that? There's something inside the little iron! What is it?"

Xiao Tie shook his head repeatedly in fright, "No, no, no, I don't know either."

Tianyi pulled out the knife from inside.

"It seems that this knife is over 300 years old."

The two nodded.

"Since Tanjiro found this sword, and his sword is also broken, how about I bring you some candy next time I come?"

Xiao Tie looked at Tian Yi speechlessly.

“I would have given the knife to him even if you hadn’t said anything, since he was the one who found it.”

Tian nodded.

Tanjiro shook his head repeatedly.

"Brother Tianyi's knife is also broken. It would be better to give this knife to Brother Tianyi. Only in his hands can it unleash its true power."

Tenichi didn't give Tanjiro a chance to react at all, and punched him on the head.

"I've said it several times, my knife is just worn, it's not broken."

"It hurts."

Kotetsu and Tanjiro started pulling each other to the limit. Tanjiro didn't want to accept it, but Kotetsu insisted on giving it to him.

"Why don't we pull it out and take a look first?"

"Yes, I really want to see it."

The two of them turned their gazes to Tianyi, who was somewhat speechless. "You two have already agreed, so why are you still looking at me?"

Tenichi pulled the knife out of the doll and handed it to Tanjiro.

The two looked excitedly at the swords in their hands, and Tanjiro slowly pulled them out.

But it was covered in rust.

The two of them immediately fell to the ground.

"It's rusty."

Xiao Tie quickly comforted her, "That's normal. After all, it's been sitting there for 300 years without anyone taking care of it, and nobody even knows there's a knife inside the doll. I'm sorry, I made you happy for nothing."

"It's okay, I don't care," Tanjiro said, tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.

Tianyi turned his head and stared blankly at the muscular man in front of him.

"Mr. Steel Tomb".

Steel Tomb nodded, then looked at the knife on the ground.

His face was full of excitement.
