Someday.

Near a large rock somewhere in the woods.

Tanjiro is still practicing fighting with Tanjiro, who is a dead ghost who has been practicing swordsmanship with Tanjiro, and there is a girl ghost named Makoto next to him, they are all disciples of Mr. Rintaki to help Tanjiro, just hoping that Tanjiro can defeat the hand ghost who killed all the disciples.

Tanjiro is also getting stronger and stronger under the guidance of the rabbit.

It's just that Tanjiro has been practicing for almost two years, and he has worked hard, but the big stone still doesn't move.

All he can do is improve himself.

It's tiring, but it's been persevered.

Tanjiro also remembers Mako's guidance, and the only shortcut is to practice until death! So Tanjiro practiced even harder, squeezing his potential and physical strength, especially after seeing that Xia Ruo was so strong, he almost never relaxed.

Just a moment after Tanjiro and Kutoto had just missed the battle, a gust of wind blew.

It was a very strange wind, not quite the same as a normal wind, and in that gust of wind, Tanjiro smelled a familiar smell that he had smelled a few days ago.

This wind is the same as the wind that appeared on the day Xia Ruo came, and it is different from the ordinary flavor.

Xia Ruo and Rabbit, as well as Zhen Hu, one person and two ghosts looked in the direction of the wind at the same time, but that place was empty.

"Who's coming?"

The rabbit shouted in that direction, although it was strange, but the rabbit could feel that even if he was a ghost, the other party could find out, because he felt the staring gaze.

What kind of guy is it, even ghosts can see it.

"Meow."

With a meow, and then, in their gaze, a very petite figure appeared.

A cat.

A standing cat slowly walked over.

The cat was very strange, it was already strange to stand and walk, and it was also wearing a suit of clothes, with a straw hat on top of its head to cover its eyes, and the cat's head was tilted down forty-five degrees, and it was in a very strange pose.

Even Tanjiro found that the cat still had a stick of grass in his mouth at the corner of his mouth.

The cat is like a withdrawn knight.

"Tom?"

Tanjiro recognized it, this cat is Tom the cat who has been following Xia Ruo, at that time Xia Ruo also let himself touch its fur, it was very smooth, I didn't expect Mr. Tom to appear with such a peculiar shape today.

"Is Mr. Tom hungry?"

Tanjiro thought Tom was hungry and came to look for something to eat.

"Tanjiro, do you know this cat?" In fact, I have seen Tom a few times, a cat playing with birds nearby, but I didn't expect to be approached by a cat today.

"Meow Meow is coming."

Mahashi had also seen Tom and wanted to touch it, but he didn't have a chance to touch it.

"He's Xia Ruo's pet, and he's a very well-behaved cat."

"Really? Not necessarily," Rabbit seemed to sense that something was wrong, and for some reason, he felt a threat from the cat in front of him.

Feeling a threat from a cat?

I always feel that this thing is a little too bizarre, but after thinking about it for a while, he is a ghost, so he doesn't care if it's bizarre or not.

Tom looked at the three people in front of him, with a look of disdain in his eyes, he came today, not for anything else, he wanted to learn from the master, how to pretend to be in the limelight, because he felt that sometimes, the limelight was always stolen by the master.

Tom was uncomfortable with a cat that was often in the spotlight, so he decided to practice his skills of pretending to be forced and steal the limelight from his owner in the future.

And there was no one around, so Tanjiro stepped on it.

So, here comes Tom.

Under Tanjiro's gaze, Tom's breathing changed, and at the same time, he made a combat move.

"Get out of the way, Tanjiro, it's going to do it," Tanjiro pushed Tanjiro away, and he stood in front of Tom, and he could feel that Tanjiro was no match for the cat.

"Hands-on? A cat? ”

Today, Tanjiro hasn't sensed that something is wrong with the atmosphere.

At the same time, Tom moved, and Tom, who drew his sword, disappeared in place, leaving a large amount of water and foam on the dagger it wielded.

"Breathe of water! How could it be the breath of water! ”

Tanjiro was stunned when he saw this scene, he didn't expect that a cat could learn to breathe water, obviously this cat was just a cute cat next to Xia Ruo before.

Looking at the side again, the rabbit could still stay calm and rush forward, but the real mushroom who usually had no expression on the side was stunned.

"Meow, breathe with water," Mako said with a bit of a daze.

This scene is indeed no one has ever seen.

Soon, Tom and Rabbit were in a fight, and their swords collided together, making the sound of swords clashing with each other, and the water splashed like normal swordsmen.

But that's clearly not the case.

Boom! Boom! Qiang ......

The scene of a man fighting a cat much smaller than him is a bit funny.

All of Rabbit's sword styles will be blocked by that small sword, Rabbit's speed is very fast, and the sword is so fast that it is difficult for ordinary people to see, but no matter how fast his sword is, it will be blocked by Tom's sword.

It's outrageous.

Boom! Boom! Qiang ......

The rabbit felt that he had been striking iron, and the other party was like an iron wall, not moving at all.

And Tom was obviously playing, just defensive, not offensive, and didn't mean to use all his strength at all.

Tanjiro watched the scene, almost without a mouthful of blood spurting out, but he didn't expect that after studying for two years, he couldn't even compare to a cat.

And the rabbit also seemed to be unable to stand the fact that he was being played with by a cat, and wanted to speed up to solve the battle, but Tom was obviously faster than him, and a gust of wind suddenly broke out on his petite body, and Tom, who used magic, instantly increased his speed several times, and disappeared in place at once.

The next moment, Tom appeared behind Tanjiro.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Rabbit and Tanjiro fell to the ground together, and it turned out that Tom had just killed Tanjiro together.

With the back of the knife, so Tanjiro is not in danger of life, and the rabbit is a ghost, and there is nothing to do, but this instant kill, and then appear behind him, this posture is what Tom learned from the animation before, and I didn't expect it to be used one day.

Burst!

Tom spat out the grass in his mouth, and walked away.

It's as if nothing had happened.

It's so cool!

Tom feels that this pretending mode is really cool, no wonder it is played like this in the animation, Tom thinks he can do it again tomorrow.

It's just that the rabbit and Tanjiro who stayed behind naturally don't think so, it's an absolute shame to be defeated by a cat, and after that, the rabbit trained Tanjiro more strictly, and Tanjiro sometimes almost felt that he would not be trained to death like this.

Tanjiro originally wanted to go back and tell Xia Ruo about it, but Xia Ruo didn't finish practicing swordsmanship that night and didn't come back, so Tanjiro didn't say it.

Of course, if Xia Ruo knew about this matter, he would definitely pull Tom over to be a sparring partner for himself, and Tom somehow escaped.

In fact, although Tom is slowly getting stronger, he is still more afraid of Xia Ruo.

For Tom, the scariest person in the world is his own master, because of the power of reality, it is something that even Tom feels terrified.

……

When Tanjiro practiced the next day, Tom came again.

This time, Tom still appeared with the wind, still so pompous, the cat's head tilted down forty-five degrees, and the grass in the corner of his mouth.

Tom was so bored that he didn't dare to go to his master, fearing that he would let him work as a laborer, so he asked Tanjiro to play.

Tanjiro may have guessed that Tom was here to play, but Rabbit thinks that the cat is here to provoke, so he Tom.

In general, compared to the boring cultivation on Xia Ruo's side, Tanjiro's cultivation on the contrary was very happy.
