Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 278 Of course

Deathly silence fell once again, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Lin Guang could hear the heartbeats of the people around him, followed by their breathing. Everyone was still alive and well, their hearts beating strongly, their breathing continuing steadily, and the expansion of their lungs driving the chest and back ups and downs, but even so, no one made any sound as they should.

Why is no one talking?

Rinko raised her head and looked at Tanjiro beside her. He still kept his head raised. Their eyes met, and each other's pupils were trembling. The fluctuation of emotions could be seen almost without trying to catch them. Rinko just didn't know why.

"Why are all of you silent? Quan Balang? Big Eyes?"

It was Inosuke who spoke before him. As usual, he didn't call anyone's name correctly. Rinko didn't expect the other party to call out his name, but he didn't expect that the other party would even give up the idea of ​​trying to call him.

"Who is tired?"

This time it was Xuanya who made the sound. Lin Guang turned his head and gave the answer without thinking.

"He's Lin Guang's brother, the brother he found himself. We weren't brothers originally, but they gradually became family."

"That sounds great, but why haven't I heard Rinkou mention that name?"

Xuanya asked naturally. When Zenitsu realized it, he wanted to stop him, but it was too late. The other party had already asked the question. He could only look at Tanjiro who still lowered his head. The other party was no longer surprised, but still remained silent, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

"Well, I haven't seen him for a long time. I used to live with him in Nada Spider Mountain, but after leaving the mountain, I never saw him again. Everyone said he was dead. Tanjiro should know more details than me, right?"

Rinko turned his gaze towards Tanjiro, who was forced to look up under the gaze of those eyes, and was forced to speak because of the question that had been thrown over his shoulder.

"Rei, he's a Lower Moon Five who lives in Nada Spider Mountain. He met us during a previous mission..."

Tanjiro never knew that his voice could be so hoarse, and that something as simple as making a sound with his vocal cords could be so difficult. When the air flowed through his throat, it seemed as if it was mixed with sand and gravel, and it seemed as if it was driven by a blade, tearing his throat open. He could vaguely smell an inexplicable smell of blood.

There is no need to finish what is said; everyone sitting there can think of the ending as soon as the beginning is said.

"Ah, it was those guys on that mountain. I might have fought that big spider, but it's a pity that I was tied up by that silent guy after that. Otherwise, I must have fought him!"

The excited Inosuke was silenced before he could say a few words. He needed to be a little careful when facing Xuanya Zenitsu, but he didn't need to be so polite when facing Inosuke Zenitsu. He hugged the head, blocked the mouth roughly, and dragged the other person aside.

"Ahhh! I remembered we have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now! See you tomorrow!"

"Hey! What are you doing?! I haven't finished talking yet!!"

The rough voice faded away as it was dragged on, and Tanjiro seemed to come back to his senses a little because of this farce.

"cold......"

"Come to think of it, it's really getting late, and Tanjiro and Xuanya should continue their training, so I won't bother them for now. Kyojuro, do you want to go play over there?"

Lin Guang got up from the ground on his own. There was no need to continue the class because the two of them had left without permission. Stars had begun to appear in the sky, and it was no longer early. For humans, it was time to rest, but for ghosts, it was the official start of the day.

"Not yet, Rinko, go over there. I have something to say to the Kamado boy! We'll see you later!"

"Is Xuan Mi coming?"

"Ah good."

"Then I won't bother you."

Lin Guang waved to Kyojuro, turned around and took Xuanya into the depths of the clean woods.

"I shouldn't have asked you that."

A sudden sound in silence would be more likely to frighten people than normal talking. Lin Guang was not frightened by such a sudden sound, but he was also a little confused by the sudden words.

"What do you mean by Xuan Mi?"

"Things about being tired."

The boy following behind him had a muffled voice. When he turned around, he could see that he was just like Tanjiro just now, with his head hung heavily. Perhaps because of this, Xuanya's voice was also muffled.

His head was hung so low that even his voice was muffled.

"Is there anything I can't ask?"

Unlike Xuanya's gloomy mood, Lingguang's tone was light and calm when he spoke.

Xuan Mi raised his head because of this unusual calmness and looked at Lin Guang in surprise, but all he saw was a calm face. Under the moonlight, he tilted his head and made no attempt to hide his confusion.

"Tired, no..."

An explanation was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Xuanya didn't know how to bring it up. Should he say he shouldn't bring up this sad event? Should he say he didn't know Rinkou's brother was killed by the Demon Slayer Corps? As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, how could he approach such a topic?

"I'm exhausted. I died in Spider Mountain the night I left. I was killed by the Demon Slayer Corps. Tanjiro must have had some credit for that, I know."

The boy spoke with a calm tone and a composed expression. In the rare cool evening breeze of summer, his voice even seemed strangely brisk.

"Then is there anything I can't ask?"
