Tomioka-san

"Take this skin off him."

Yuto looked jealously at the baby boar his master handed him. The boar was still alive and breathing, but unconscious from a stroke he had taken from the sakonji.

In the next moment, the blood from Yuto's fingertips formed small veins and entered the boar's body. The blood vessels running under the skin of the piglet suddenly swelled up after covering its entire body.

Then the skin of the boar piglet was completely peeled off the boar piglet and it fell to the ground. And this was followed by the piglet's internal organs.

In just a few seconds, the piglet was both dead and ready to be cooked. Sakonji, not hiding his pride in his student's skills, took the piglet from his student's hand, put it on a stick and placed it on the fire.

Meanwhile, Yuto was slightly disappointed that he was being used like a simple kitchen utensil, but he ignored this and went out of the hut to repeat the sword move he had learned this morning.

Standing outside, Yuto looked out of the corner of his eye at the system screen that appeared in his vision.

[Warning: drinking the blood of non-human races will only suppress your bloodlust. Please drink human blood if you want to become stronger]

The system wasn't exactly telling the truth, or at least that's what Yuto thought. After a few weeks of drinking animal blood, Yuto had noticed that one of his stats had increased by 0.1 points.

It's been almost a month since he came here, Yuto thought as he turned his head and looked at the old wooden house. And in this last month, there was a strange feeling of hollow in his heart. He kept swinging his sword while wondering what was causing this feeling.

After about an hour of swinging his sword up and down, Yuto realized the source of this feeling. He was no longer a prisoner. That meant he was free. There was nothing he had to do as a free man. In the past, there was nothing he had to do because he was a prisoner, but now he was not a prisoner. After Yuto thought about it some more, he realized that he still hadn't realized the reason for his feeling.

Meanwhile, the enticing smell of cooked meat began to waft from inside the wooden house. Yuto threw his sword in a random place and started walking towards the wooden hut. at that moment, a sound like a branch breaking sounded in Yuto's ear.

Yuto reflexively turned around to look into the forest where no one was. He squinted his eyes and used his natural night vision to try to look deeper into the forest.

Another crackling sound came from the right, Yuto turned to his right, but all he could still see was the simplicity of the forest. As he squinted to look deeper into the forest in confusion, a spark suddenly exploded in front of his eyes. As he fell on his ass with the resulting inertia, he looked up at the two men clashing their swords in front of him.

The first of them was Giyu Tomioka, whose presence solved Yuto's worries about the time period of the anime. He was wearing a red haori with one half green and the other half a patterned red color. And he looked a little confused.

The other person was an old man wearing a red devil mask of unknown origin. When Tomioka saw that his master had stopped his own sword, he made a face that was worth seeing.

Meanwhile, Yuto, recovering from the initial shock of the situation, was amazed at the power of the hashiras. He had almost not even noticed anything during the strike just now.

------ a few minutes later

As Tomioka ate a piece of the pork his master had given him, he looked at the devil who was being lavishly praised by his master.

"Senior tomioka-san. May I join you on tomorrow's mission?"

Both of them showed surprise at Yuto's unexpected words.

"Impossible."

"Impossible"

Yuto smiled bitterly at the simultaneous objections he received, and put forward his trump card.

"I have a feeling that if I go on a journey with you, my poetry level will reach a new peak"

"Impossible"

"Shut up, Tomioka, he's coming with you."

Tomioka put back the small piece of meat he was about to bite into on the table and looked at his master like he was asking why.

Yuto didn't want to waste the opportunity Sakonji had created for him, so he took over the conversation.

"Because I'm hungry and I need something to drink."

Tomioka looked silently at the half of the pig in Yuto's hand for a moment. Then, as if he understood, he narrowed his eyes and immediately reached for the sword at his waist.

------- 10 minutes later

For ten minutes Yuto tried to explain to Tomioka that he was only drinking blood and how the lord had given him permission to drink blood as long as he had permission.

Tomioka finally decided to take this demon with him and kill him when he was not under his master's protection. Of course, he had to wait for him to commit a crime before he could kill him.

Tomioka was convinced, so he swiftly drew the sword that had cut Yuto's head in half and removed it from Yuto's head. Yuto was slowly recovering as he tried to close the gash in his head with his hand.

Over the past month, he had been experimenting with his own blood art and his healing speed had slowed down. And now his goal was to convince Tomioka to move faster and save the main character's entire family. Maybe Tanjiro's mother would take mercy on him and let him drink some blood.
