DS : Chapter 129

[Seiji's POV]

We talked...

I had so much to say and he was the same.

And violence was the language we were using.

*BOOOOOMM!!!*

Disgustingly fast. I had never encountered such speed in all my life. To be completely honest, I had not even imagined an entity moving that fast.

And this was coming from a man who slayed the Upper Moon 2.

Yet my body moved without command. My mind was simply not fast enough to intend for any action...

(The Kamado household)

"Thank you for the food!!" everyone said collectively with similar wide smiles on their faces.

There was food on the table, and the amount and the quality of the food was something an isolated family like the Kamado should not be able to afford. But here they were, eating better than most people living in cities.

Today's main dish was venison.

The meat was made in different ways, from a stew to roasted in charcoal. They had nearly...

(Location : Tokyo)

"I am going to miss you very much while I am away dear," said a woman wearing a purple kimono and expensive jewellery that showcased her unspoken wealth.

"I know, and I will feel the same," replied her husband.

"Are you sure you can't come with us? My father would very much like to meet you again, and so would my mother," the woman asked in an almost whiny tone, like a little girl begging for candy.

The husband smiles, "You know I can...

DS Chapter : 126

[Seiji's POV]

The children were waiting for me on the road leading up to their house. I had sent a letter to Kie Kamado, informing her about how I intended to spend the winter with them.

I even got a reply letter that said I was more than welcome to do so. Winter was unforgiving in the Gifu region where heavy snowfall was to be expected every year, and men were the greatest resource in this age.

So a window like Kie was more than glad to have a male relative to stay with the...

[Seiji's POV]

"So that's how it was," Kanae whispered softly while her dainty fingers travelled around my scalp, gently massaging my head,

"I am happy for Mitsuri, she deserves to be a Hashira, she worked hard for every ounce of the weight that title carries," Kanae's praise came from seeing Mitsuri work hard for four months.

The both of us were in the small veranda overlooking the garden of the Butterfly Mansion. The silver sun was in the sky, its soft light shyly lit up...

DS Chapter : 124

[3rd POV]

The Hashiras.

They were a bunch of monsters if Obanai had ever seen one. The mere act of standing in the same space as they were was like having a blade at his neck.

It did not help that Kabumaru (his snake) kept whispering in his ear. The snake did not differentiate between demons and humans and only told him how much of a threat they were to him.

It told him to run.

It whispered helplessness.

He had not been told that for a long time now. He was...

DS Chapter : 123

[Seiji's POV]

I watched with bathed breath as Kanae stood over Kanao while the little girl was stumped on the ground. I was sweating bullets as Kanae stood there, menacingly with a wooden stick in her hand.

Kanao too was still in fear, I saw that she even halted breathing altogether. I knew then that as her guardian I had to do something.

So I slowly reached for a piece of rock beside me and threw it towards my left, Kanae's head snapped towards the sound immediately and she...

DS : Chapter 122

[Seiji's POV]

It was the end of the most eventful Summer in my life. I killed two Upper Moons this season, reinvented and mastered Sun Breathing, found the Kamado family, affirmed my relationship with Kanae and Mitsuri, formed an alliance with Lady Tamayo etc.

That was only some of the things that happened this summer. It was funny how so many events could build up and happen in the span of one short season.

But as the heat of Summer resided and a calm autumn breeze blew, I ...

DS : Chapter 121

[Seiji's POV]

The sun was already high in the sky, indicating that it was not so early anymore. In fact, it was nearly noon.

"Okay, let's do this then," I said and rubbed my palms together.

On this fine day, you could see that I was in the training area of the Flower Mansion. You could also see the little boy Muichiro glaring at me as he stood a few meters away, facing me.

He was upset I didn't wake him up early in the morning and let him sleep however long he wanted.<...

DS : Chapter 120

[3rd POV]

It was the same night as when Muichiro came to Seiji. In the room of Kanae Kocho, two girls were facing each other while sitting on the bed.

"Now that we finally have private time to talk, I want to start by apologizing to you, Mitsusri," Kanae said, bowing as deeply as she could.

"I have wronged you deeply by going after Seiji while knowing about your engagement. I am truly sorry," she said so sincerely that her voice quivered like a guitar string.

She m...

DS Chapter : 119

[Seiji's POV]

"Hi, it's nice to meet you. I've heard about you many times and even seen you a couple of times, but I've never introduced myself properly," Mitsuri started, her words coming out rapidly in a mix of nervousness and excitement.

"My name is Mitsuri Kanroji. It's an honour to meet you, Miss Kanae," Mitsuri said and bowed at a right angle. Kanae was higher ranked and older than her, so she was immediately entitled to respect from Mitsuri.

Kanae...

DS : Chapter 118

[Seiji's POV]

The first ray of sunlight shone upon me, making the sweat on my body glitter like diamonds. I stopped my training for a brief moment to stare back at the sun that was staring at me.

"Already huh?" I said out loud as I glared at the sun directly without flinching.

I woke up early today, so early in fact that it was still dark like the night when I got out of bed. I thought I'd get some training instead of trying to force myself to sleep again after I woke up fro...

DS : Chapter 117

[Seiji's POV]

"So...what do you think of the boy?"

"He'll become strong very very quickly. I've never seen talent like that before, it's like the way of the sword is in his blood," I replied.

I was in Ubuyashiki's official room. It was bigger than you expected and even hollower than you'd believe. There was only a single futon in the giant room and nothing else. The room was so empty you could smell the wood from which it was made.

Ubuyashik...

DS : Chapter 116

[Seiji's POV]

It was disgusting. It was revolting.

It was horrible.

His small frame did not match the wooden sword he was holding; it was made for adults, while he was a young boy, small for his age.

His body moved with the elegance of an elephant. It looked like he was lagging in real life. The burden of injury yet to be healed was evident in each motion of his body.

But the main reason was that he had absolutely no experience. His skills with the sword could be...

DS : Chatper 115

[Seiji's POV]

"I've already told this to Sanemi, Giyu and Rengoku," I began as the three gave me a knowing look at my words.

"I've reinvented Sun Breathing," I said.

"....."

"....."

"I beg your mightiest pardon," Ubuyashiki said, "But what did you just say?"

"I've re-created Sun Breathing," I said, putting it into different words.

"Hmmm," Ubuyashiki did not show much reaction other than his initial surp...

DS : Chapter 114

[Seiji's POV]

"Akaza," 

A demon whom I needed to kill as quickly as possible, I thought to myself.

I wasn't going to make the same mistake as I did with Kanae and wait for him and Rengoku to clash. I would end the demon's life before they ever had the chance to clash.

I tore my eyes off Rengoku and continued.

"Akaza is unlike the rest of the demons. He is probably the most humane demon amongst the Upper Moon," I said.

"He looks l...

DS : Chapter 113

[Seiji's POV]

Two days have passed since I returned to the Flower Mansion and the Hashira meeting which I requested to be held was granted.

This time, even Shinobu was not exempted, she had to attend the meeting whether she liked it or not.

"Don't worry Shinobu, I'll be fine. I spend most of my time sleeping anyway," Kanae said with a thin smile while looking at her sister.

She was still on her bed, only ever leaving it to go to the bathroom. She was starting to eat no...

DS : Chapter 112

[Seiji's POV]

(The next day)

Now I really wanted to stay beside Kanae for a longer period of time but that was a privilege I could not have just yet.

Shinobu told me that her sister needed sleep and she couldn't do that while I was constantly beside her. So to fix that, Shinobu made a timetable where I could be beside Kanae only for a limited amount of time.

It was like visiting hours in a hospital. I guess every hospital did that for a reason.

And although I lik...

DS : Chapter 111

[Seiji's POV]

"How long have you been awake?"

It took me a while to get over the shock of seeing her awake and smiling so brightly, but after a few minutes of pause during which the two sisters constantly laughed at me, I was finally functioning like a normal human being again.

Whatever that was.

But I still couldn't get the red off my ears though. I did not see them but they were like burning coal at the side of my head. It was the lingering effect of her confessi...

DS : Chapter 110

[3rd POV]

The last thing she remebered was the hazy whiteness of a frigid cloud as she desperately tried to feel the warmth of his embrace.

Against the demon who seemed impossible to overcome, she did her best, honouring her title as a Hashira.


But the cold consumed everything so quickly. She felt her mind slipping into an endless pit that swallowed her whole. By all means she thought she was dead.

it would've been a good way to die too, fighting against the ev...

DS : Chapter 109

[Seiji's : POV]

"You've returned," Shinobu said when she saw me enter the Flower Mansion through the small entrance at the back.

It was not the main entrance so only a few would use it to enter the mansion. I was already quite famous among the demon slayer corps so I did not want to bother with the people I would meet if I took the front gate.

I responded to her call by stopping in my place and looking at her - as if I had the capacity to hear whatever she was saying.

...

DS : Chapter 108

[Seiji's POV]

"Well, that's that.." I said, trying to stay calm after I just pulled off that cool shit.

Like I always said, it was cool only until you acknowledge it.

"It's good to see you all training so hard to improve, you will surely need more strength for the upcoming battles," I said while gazing upon the three Hashiras.

The sun was hung in the middle of the sky, lighting up the endless expanse with a colour of serene blue. There was hardly any cloud in the s...

DS : Chapter 107

[3rd POV]

The Hashiras saw a new colour flash in the battlefield. If that was not enough to tell them someone had entered the battle, their instincts immediately came alive, their bodies knew that they had to perform their best against the new entity.

"There you are!! We have been waiting!!" Sanemi screamed and his arm blurred in an arc that created a wave of typhoon that ripped the ground to shreds.

Rengoku barely caught a glimpse, he only saw a streak of purple rushing at ...

DS : Chapter 106

[3rd POV]

The sun shone brilliantly in the sky, casting a green glow on the vegetation. On this day, the Demon Slayer headquarters was bustling with activities as servants moved around from one place to another.

All of the Hashiras, except Shinobu Kocho and Seiji Shigan, were gathered in a meeting. They all stood in front of the main building, their presence worthy of the finest warriors humanity could offer.

They had just received rather shocking news so there was silenc...

[Seiji's POV]

(Morning)

"3...2....1,"

...

...

"Ready or not, here I come!!" I yelled out before turning around sharply.

The yard which was once filled with the Kamado siblings was empty, every one of them had hidden during my countdown from 100.

Now there was only empty space, leaving one to wonder where the little children had gone. Where could they possibly hide?

In all seriousness, challenging me to a game o...

DS : Chapter 104

[Seiji's POV]

I watched with bathed breath, I didn't even blink my eyes once. There was a sense of anticipation in the air and I couldn't stop my heart from beating wildly.

"....."

"Umm...I kinda need a stick," Tanjiro relaxed his body and said with an awkward smile.

Without wasting any moment, I disappeared from my place and went in front of a random tree. With the blurring stroke of my sword, I cut a branch off the tree and turned it into a stick.

Then I threw ...

DS : Chapter 103

[Seiji's POV]

"PLEASEEE!!! HELP MEEEEE!!!!!!" the demon shrieked in absolute agony. Even the damned in the deepest pits of hell wouldn't release a louder scream.

She was screaming as if I just lodged my blade through his liver or something. 

'Am I doing it too much?' I asked myself while turning to look at Tanjiro who was absolutely mortified at the scene he was witnessing.

I was trying to show him the hidden dangers of this world. My m...

DS : Chapter 102

[3rd POV]

Seiji butchered the deer like an expert hunter, cutting off the best part of the meat to make for dinner while also making sure to preserve the rest of the parts so that the family could enjoy it even in his absence.

With the help of his eyes, such things as slicing the skin off the meat, gutting the intestines or slicing meat off the bone was an easy skill to mimic.

After that was done, Kie and Nezuko took the meat back to the kitchen to make a stew out of it. Fro...

DS : Chapter 101

[Seiji's POV]

The Kamado family lived in a modest house that was not too big yet not too small. The size seemed to be just right for a family of seven.

There was this very homey vibe to it that made me feel welcomed. The children all hid in the other room, peeking out curiously from the corner of a door and such.

"Please, do tell me more about my husband and his letters," Kie asked as we sat in the living room.

She was a beautiful woman with long silky black hair t...

DS : Chapter 100

[Seiji's POV]

"Hey, man!! Can you tell me your post address?" I screamed at the pilot sitting in front of me.

He turned his head as much as he could to the side and answered. It should be impossible to hear him but by a simple glance at his throat movement, I was able to read what he said.

I memorized it.

I got up from my seat and grabbed his neck so that I could talk to his ear. I didn't want the rushing air to silence my voice.
