Before Ryosuke could answer, Nezuko rushed over and grabbed her younger brother, bowing slightly to Ryosuke.
"Mr. Yasui, I'm sorry, Shigeru is still young and doesn't understand."
"It's ok."
Ryosuke opened the oil paper bag and gave him some of the pastries and candies.
"But we're about to eat, so we should eat less."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Yasui!"
Mao nodded repeatedly.
The remaining two, Takeo and Hanako, no longer held back and stared longingly at Ryosuke.
Ryosuke understood the situation perfectly and naturally wouldn't show favoritism.
The children only calmed down after they received their food.
"Really!"
Nezuko puffed out her cheeks and looked at them helplessly.
Ryosuke pushed the rest to Nezuko.
"This is for you and Tanjiro."
"Thank you, Mr. Ryosuke..."
Nezuko nodded shyly.
Ryosuke responded with a cheerful laugh.
What a polite child!
Nezuko in her human form is quite cute, no less so than in her demon form.
Besides, Nezuko and Zenitsu will be a couple in the future.
It's only right that I take care of this future junior brother.
At this moment, Aoi and Tanjiro brought out the food.
Although it's a country-style dish, the portions are generous and the aroma is irresistible.
Tanjiro greeted him warmly with a beaming smile.
"Mr. Yasui, Mr. Rengoku, please enjoy!"
"Thanks for your hard work."
Ryosuke doesn't eat much, but Kyojuro is a different story.
He eats extremely fast and has an astonishing appetite.
He ate with extreme concentration, speaking loudly as if no one else was around.
"Five ants! Five ants! Five ants!"
"Delicious! Mrs. Kamado's cooking is superb! Thank you so much for your hospitality!"
His hearty eating style and loud voice left Tanjiro and his younger siblings dumbfounded.
It was still pretty awkward.
Ryosuke sighed and facepalmed, then apologized to Tanjuro.
“Mr. Tanjuro, please don’t mind him. My friend… well, he has a rather warm personality, even when he’s eating.”
Tanjuro didn't mind at all; instead, he smiled gently.
This vitality and healthy body are what he has always lacked.
He didn't dislike people like Kyojuro.
"No, Mr. Purgatory is as warm as fire. We welcome guests like him."
"Please forgive me..."
Looking at Kyojuro, who resembled a glutton, Ryosuke recalled some mukbang videos from his past life.
However, they are still far inferior to Kyojuro.
After all, this guy is someone who can sit at the same table as Kanroji Mitsuri.
Definitely a master and apprentice with stomach problems.
However, Ryosuke doesn't deny that watching them eat makes his food taste better.
After the meal, Tanjiro played with his younger siblings while Aoi and Nezuko cleaned up the dishes.
Tanjuro felt unwell and coughed a few times.
Seeing this, Ryosuke said softly.
"Mr. Tanjuro, you are not feeling well, so please get some rest. We will stay here for the night and take our leave early tomorrow morning."
Tanjuro nodded and stood up with Aoi's help.
"It's chilly in the mountains at night, so please get some rest. Tanjiro, take good care of our guests."
"Yes, father!"
Tanjiro nodded.
Ryosuke and Kyojuro were seated in a guest room.
The moonlight outside the window was as clear as water, and the mountains were completely silent.
Kyojuro was already asleep, and his snoring gradually began.
Ryosuke tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
He had a falling out with Tanzi's family today, which left him feeling unsettled.
He quietly got up and went to the corridor, only to find that Tanjuro was also awake.
He sat there alone, gazing at the stars in the night sky, his figure appearing even more frail in the moonlight.
"Mr. Tanjuro?" Ryosuke called softly.
Tanjuro turned around, his expression still calm.
"Mr. Yasui, are you also having trouble sleeping?"
"Yeah, the air is nice in the mountains, I want to get some fresh air."
Ryosuke sat down next to him.
After a moment of silence, Tanjuro suddenly spoke, his voice very soft.
"The world isn't always as peaceful as it is tonight..."
In the original work, Tanjiro described Tanjuro as someone who was like a plant.
He speaks calmly and gently, with minimal emotional fluctuations.
Having opened the Transparent World and inherited the Sun Breathing Technique early on, he may have already seen through the essence of this world.
Evil spirits devour people; a destiny passed down for millennia.
As the inheritor of the Sun Breathing technique, Muzan has been searching for traces of his family.
Tanjiro's family had lived in seclusion in the mountains for generations and had not been found.
But this is ultimately standing under a crumbling wall, and danger always exists.
Tanjuro's gaze was complicated as he slowly spoke.
"Actually, from a very early age, the world I saw was different from that of other people."
Ryosuke continued, following his lead: "Is it a transparent world?"
Tanjuro nodded, as if revealing a secret in his heart.
"These things may be easier for you to understand."
"The transparent world, that's what we call it."
Ryosuke explained, "It is the highest level of martial arts, which many people cannot unlock even after a lifetime of effort."
"Mr. Yasui."
Tanjuro interrupted him, his tone becoming serious.
"If I'm gone one day, please take care of my family..."
Chapter 102 Some brothers, some
Is this how they begin entrusting their children to others?
Ryosuke's lips twitched.
Isn't this a bit too fast, bro?
I just finished dealing with the Shinazugawa family, and here they come again!
Why are there more and more married women around me?
Tamayo, Shizu, and later, Aoi.
Is it you who appeared to me from heaven?
Tamayo was alright; she was all alone, with only Yushiro by her side.
But Shizu and Aoi have a whole bunch of kids with them!
Humans can be abnormal, but they cannot be like animals.
Unaware of the inner turmoil Ryosuke was going through, Tanjuro spoke calmly.
"Although it may be presumptuous, I know my own body well. I am already terminally ill and do not have many years left to live."
In the original story, Tanjuro's condition worsened rapidly after Rokuta's birth.
Judging by the time, he was indeed almost out of breath.
