Chapter 236 What exactly are they talking about?
The Pillars all have residences in the Demon Slayer Corps' base, and Giyu Tomioka's residence is not far from the Butterfly Mansion.
We arrived shortly after walking.
"What a big house!" A soft voice came through, its tone slightly surprised.
Sitting upright in the room, deeply in meditation, Yoshiyuki Tomioka paid no attention to the exclamations coming from outside.
But then, his heart skipped a beat.
"Excuse me, Mr. Tomioka!"
It was Tanjiro's voice.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka's eyes snapped open. For no apparent reason, he felt that the guy might do something unexpected.
I suddenly felt uneasy.
As expected, this perfectly suited Giyu Tomioka's anxious heart.
Tanjiro's voice rang out again, and to make matters worse, an unfamiliar female voice joined in the shouting.
Hello! Mr. Tomioka!
"Sorry for disturbing you!"
What? What are you apologizing for?
"Shall we come in?"
Yoshiyuki Tomioka's eyes widened even more.
Come in?
No... he meant going back, right?
I misheard...
crunch~
Yoshiyuki Tomioka was startled.
……
"Is he not here, Mr. Giyuu?" Nezuko tilted her head in confusion.
Yuko lowered her eyelids slightly, sensing for a moment: "No, he's here."
As Yu Zi spoke softly, three heads peeked in from outside the door one after another.
Three pairs of red eyes turned to look at him simultaneously.
A bead of sweat slid down Giyu Tomioka's forehead.
"Good morning, Mr. Giyu." Tanjiro sat down in front of Giyu with a simple, honest smile on his face.
"..." Giyu Tomioka looked at the three of them expressionlessly.
No, he's not good at all.
Maybe he'll feel better if you go out.
Tanjiro ignored his coldness and turned to Ikuko: "Miss Ikuko, do you have something to discuss with Mr. Giyu? Why don't you ask first?"
Giyu Tomioka: ...
What? What do you want from him?
Yuko didn't stand on ceremony and asked Giyu, "Mr. Giyu, I would like to ask you about your self-created technique, the Eleventh Form of Water Breathing."
There are only ten moves in the current Water Breathing technique. Master Urokodaki taught only up to the Shiki no Kage: Sei Sei Ryouen.
After the first form, there is another move called 'Nagi'.
Meaning "calm and peaceful," it is a unique skill created by the current Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka.
Judging from the name, it seems to be a sword technique that is completely opposite to the Flame Breathing: Ninth Form: Rengoku, which was created by Kyojuro Rengoku.
Listening to it is both calm and gentle, yet it also makes you feel enthusiastic.
It seems to perfectly encapsulate people's understanding of water and fire.
She had already witnessed the Purgatory style; it was a sword technique that surged forward like raging hellfire.
Because she wanted to develop a future version of the Snow Breathing sword technique, she followed Shinobu Kocho's suggestion and went to learn about the sword techniques of the other Pillars.
Although the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are not as strong as her, that's because she has lived for several hundred years longer and has the strong body of a demon as a foundation.
In terms of talent alone in the five breathing techniques, she might not actually be stronger than the Pillar.
Before Giyuu could speak, Tanjiro couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why would Miss Ikuko want to know about this?"
Yi Yong resisted the urge to nod in agreement and calmly looked at them.
Yuko responded, "I want to see if other types can help with the development of the Snow Breathing sword type."
"The current Snow Breathing sword form is too weak."
Tanjiro paused for a moment, then asked, "Is...is there?"
He thinks the Snow Breathing sword form is incredibly powerful, okay?
If it weren't for the fact that Sun Breathing is a Kagura dance passed down through generations and a breathing method suitable for his constitution, he would have wanted Yuko to teach him Snow Breathing.
Tanjiro, who was constantly being tormented by Ikuko, had a deep understanding of Ikuko's techniques.
Yuko explained, "I mean the pure Snow Breathing sword form."
Pure?
“But I think all of Yuuko’s sword techniques are very powerful.” Tanjiro scratched his head. He didn’t know much about the Snow Breathing sword techniques, but he felt that none of the moves Yuuko used were weak.
"Really?" Yuko was also taken aback for a moment.
She felt that her sword shape was too monotonous and too easy to see through.
Shinobu felt that she could learn from the other Pillars.
Tanjiro, on the other hand, felt that her sword technique was already very powerful.
This is probably what a thousand people see in a thousand different ways.
However, whether she continues to develop her sword style or draws inspiration from other breathing techniques, Yuko feels it is necessary to learn about other people's sword skills.
She turned her gaze to Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who had remained silent.
Giyu Tomioka met her gaze with his lifeless eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I can't teach someone like you."
……
Quiet.
Deadly quiet.
Tanjiro's mouth opened slightly.
Oh no, are we going to have a fight?
Are we going to have an argument?
Are they going to have an argument?
Ms. Yuko is definitely not the type to be criticized without saying anything back.
Tanjiro's mind raced as he began to consider who he should help.
Help Miss Yuko? Mr. Giyu would definitely be disappointed.
Help Mr. Yiyong? Then Ms. Yuko will definitely be disappointed.
Just as Tanjiro's mind went blank, Ikuko's voice suddenly rang out: "Really? No, I think Giyu is pretty amazing too."
"?" Tanjiro and Nezuko both looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
Yu Zi smiled slightly, without explaining anything.
She had just deciphered the meaning behind Yi Yong's words.
'I can't teach someone like you.'
What he really meant was, 'How can someone as talented as you be taught by someone as useless as me?'
Yes, that's a compliment.
Yoshiyuki Tomioka's eyes widened slightly, as if he had seen something incredible, and he looked at Ikuko with a surprised expression.
Does she understand what I'm saying?
Others always misunderstand him.
“You…” Tomioka Giyu had just opened his mouth.
“Mr. Giyu, there’s no need to belittle yourself. I can sense from the rhythm of your breathing that you have a great talent for water breathing. Even the water pillars of the Warring States period might not have been able to achieve this level.”
Yiyong was shocked, and felt that he was not worthy of such words.
Giyu Tomioka lowered his eyelids slightly and clenched his hands on his thighs: "No, I... am not that good."
Yu Zi waved her hand: "No, no, the breathing technique has been passed down to this day, and there are countless people who use the Water Column and other techniques. Very few people can independently develop a sword form."
There are naturally some disappointments, such as the failure to pass down unsuitable sword shapes.
But ultimately, it's something only talented people can do.
Seeing that the two seemed to be communicating, Tanjiro and Nezuko were shocked, looking at each other with blank expressions.
what happened?
They didn't seem to be arguing.
I can't understand what they're saying at all anymore.
