DDDS: Chapter 77

Kazumi listened to Tanjiro's comforting words, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

"You think I'll be fine after losing my fiancée? You're just a kid. What do you know? Stop saying such insensitive things."

Kazumi became angrier and angrier. He grabbed Tanjiro's collar, looking like he was about to beat him up.

Tanjiro didn't get angry at all. Instead, he blocked Kazumi's fist with his palm and smiled kindly at him.

Then, Tanjiro took the piece of cloth from his bosom where the {Water Demon} had kept the hairpins. He handed it to Kazumi and said, "I'm leaving. This is the only thing I could bring back. I wish it had Satoko's things in it."

Kazumi took the cloth and spread it out in front of him. Seeing the butterfly knot hairpin, he burst into tears.

At this time, Ryuji walked over and said to Kazumi, "The deceased has passed on. Satoko's spirit in heaven wouldn't want to see you like this. What you should do now is take care of Satoko's parents for her and then find a new girl who can understand you and start a new life."

After speaking, Ryuji didn't care whether Kazumi had listened or not. He looked at Tanjiro and said, "Things are settled. We should leave."

Tanjiro nodded. Then, he had Nezuko crawl back into the {Kirikumo Cedar} box. Tanjiro put the box on his back and left with Ryuji.

Kazumi looked at Ryuji and Tanjiro's backs. He suddenly realized something and shouted to Tanjiro, "I'm so sorry! I said some really hurtful things and did something impulsive! Please forgive my recklessness. I'm truly sorry."

Immediately, Tanjiro stopped walking and turned around. He waved goodbye to Kazumi, "Mr. Kazumi, please take care of that woman."

After speaking, Tanjiro chased after Ryuji.

Then, Ryuji and Tanjiro left the town and found a quiet grove outside the town to rest.

The next morning, as the morning sun rose, the Demon Slayer Corps' crow flew to Ryuji's shoulder and said, "The next place you need to go is Asakusa in Tokyo. There are rumors that a {demon} is lurking there."

Tanjiro was a little surprised and unexpected to hear the crow's words. "Another mission so soon?"

"Please go as soon as possible! Please go as soon as possible!" The crow kept repeating.

"Let's go, Tanjiro." Ryuji didn't have any objections to this fast-paced mission.

"Yes, Senior Ryuji." Tanjiro didn't say anything more. He put the {Kirikumo Cedar} box containing Nezuko on his back and headed to the next mission location—Asakusa in Tokyo.

After several days of travel, Ryuji and Tanjiro arrived in Asakusa in Tokyo during the busiest part of the night market.

Asakusa in Tokyo was a city that was even bigger than a town. So, even at night, it was still bustling with lights and nightlife.

Upon arriving in the city, Tanjiro was completely stunned. The highly developed city, with all sorts of modern facilities and buildings, was undoubtedly shocking to Tanjiro, a charcoal seller who had grown up in the mountains.

"Is this a city? Has the city developed this much?" Tanjiro stood dumbfounded in the bustling crowd.
