Lying on the ground, utterly exhausted, Tanjiro began to doubt himself.
“Tanjiro, your breathing is too stiff.
You’re forcing your body to react passively.
For the past six months, you’ve merely memorized what the old man taught you.
You haven’t truly internalized Water Breathing.
If you don’t overcome this, you won’t be able to cut through the boulder,” Shin slowly pointed out Tanjiro’s fatal flaw.
Although a year and a half of training had indeed helped Tanjiro grow considerably, his body had not fully absorbed and refined what he had learned.
Tanjiro’s stiff breathing prevented him from unleashing the full potential of Water Breathing.
An attack launched under these conditions could not possibly cut through the boulder.
…
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed.
The world repeated its annual cycle once more.
Winter snowflakes drifted into Shin’s hands.
Standing outside the wooden house, Shin looked up at the snow-covered sky and murmured, “It’s snowing again.
Another year has passed!”
During this year, Urokodaki Sakonji had not appeared again.
Everything in the wooden house was taken care of by Shin, and Nezuko was also cared for by him.
Because after that duel, Tanjiro had not come down from Mount Sagiri.
Regularly wiping her body was naturally indispensable, which Shin considered a pleasant task.
As a result, Shin naturally had intimate contact with Nezuko.
When Tanjiro was around, this was naturally done by him as the older brother.
Wiping Nezuko’s body was not because Shin was deliberately taking advantage of her.
It was simply because if he did not, there would be an odor.
At first, noticing Tanjiro’s prolonged absence from the cabin, Shin sensed something was amiss and went up the mountain to look for him.
He found Tanjiro near the boulder, talking to thin air as if possessed.
However, just as Shin was about to rouse him, Tanjiro began to wield his sword.
Sensing that Tanjiro’s sword movements were no longer stiff and his breathing control was becoming increasingly fluid, Shin concluded that Tanjiro might have entered a subconscious state of selflessness—a transformative experience for him.
Therefore, Shin did not interrupt Tanjiro’s transformation, allowing him to fully elevate himself within this process.
Unexpectedly, another six months passed.
During this time, Shin regularly checked on Tanjiro, only to find him either practicing swordplay, meditating, or sometimes conversing with others.
The most perplexing instance was when Shin stood directly in front of him, yet Tanjiro seemed completely oblivious to his presence.
Finally, with the system’s prompting, Shin activated his Demon Eyes and truly understood Tanjiro’s situation.
It turned out that the spirits of Mount Sagiri had locked Tanjiro in a spiritual world they had constructed.
Judging from Tanjiro’s changes, these spirits were likely helping him grow, so Shin did not interfere much and chose instead to wait quietly.
At that moment, Shin saw someone approaching in the distance.
Shin looked at Urokodaki Sakonji as he walked up to him, then smiled and said, “You’re back, old man!”
Urokodaki Sakonji stood in front of Shin, sizing him up for a while, then nodded and asked, “Hmm.
Where’s Tanjiro?”
