Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 259 The River of Immortality

Although the scene was different from what he had expected, Tanjiro finally left Obana's training ground alone at Rinko's wave, and followed Crow's instructions to go to the next location.

As Tanjiro disappeared from his sight, Rinko turned to look at Obana beside him. The gloom on the other's face was still there, but it was slightly relieved compared to before.

"So why does Banai-chan hate Tanjiro so much?"

This is probably something that anyone with eyes and brains can see, but for some reason, Tanjiro, who usually has pretty good eyesight, is particularly dull at this time. He didn't realize at all that Obana was unhappy with him. Even the team members training here just thought that Obana was always gloomy.

"I have no reason to like him, and besides, he always tries to get close to Ganlu Temple."

Even Rinkou could realize the real reason and emphasized the words too clearly.

"Then why did Banai-chan keep me here? Is it because I'm also close to Kanroji?"

Rinkou spoke frankly, asking bluntly.

"No, I'm just short of people."

Obana gave the answer almost immediately, turning her body and head away, leaving only an ambiguous back view for Rinko. Her voice was calm, different from before, and her expression could not be seen, so it was difficult to guess whether it was true or not.

But, Rinko thought, if it were someone else, would they be willing to believe that Obana would ask for help and leave Rinko, whom Obana has always disliked, behind, or would they be willing to believe that Obana was really not angry because Rinko was close to Kanroji?

Anyway, for him, he didn't believe either of them. Even if Xiao Bana repeated several times that he needed help, Lingguang would not believe a word. It would be better for Xiao Bana to tell him directly that she wanted to teach him a lesson for being too close to Ganlu Temple. It would be more trustworthy.

But no matter what the reason is, it will not affect the result. The fact that Lin Guang needs to face now is that Obana kept him here for a very legitimate reason.

Need help.

Although watching Tanjiro's training process is very boring, to be honest, it is still very interesting to take over Obana's job and fight against this group of people.

It's just a beating, even Rinko can do it easily.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is to show mercy, not to actually break anyone's bones, and not to aim at anyone's neck with a knife.

Although Rinko had always been skeptical about the reason why Obana kept him here, when the number of people here gradually decreased with the training, Rinko still got a belated permission, a verbal ticket allowing him to go to the next stop. The person responsible for taking him there was a team member who had just barely passed the assessment in the past two days. After being beaten for an unknown period of time, he finally made some progress and was the lucky one who was spared by Obana.

"So it's really not because I'm close to Ganlu Temple that you deliberately kept me here?"

Lin Guang crawled into the opened box, but couldn't help turning around and sticking his head out to ask Xiao Banai who was standing aside and looking at this place.

“It’s just because of a lack of manpower.”

Xiao Banei still answered without hesitation. As he spoke, the other party walked over, pushed his head into the wooden box, and closed the wooden door tightly.

The door was closed, and Lin Guang felt the box being lifted up. Someone lifted it carefully and then carefully carried it behind their back. After slightly adjusting the position, the box tilted greatly, and Lin Guang got the answer before he could figure out why.

"Thank you for your teaching!"

"Get out of here."

Almost the same ruthless expulsion.

The tilted box returned to its original angle. Lingguang moved his butt in the box, found a comfortable corner to lean against, hugged his arms, curled up his legs, and counted on his fingers, thinking about who would be next to Xiao Banei.

"Snapped."

A dull and loud voice above his head interrupted his thoughts. Lin Guang subconsciously looked up. Of course, he couldn't see anything, but he could guess that someone had slapped the piece of wood above his head with his palm.

"And you, kid, stop trying to get close to Ganlu Temple."

A low voice came from the gaps in the wooden boards above my head. It was clearly a human voice, but it sounded more like the whisper of a ghost, fierce and vicious.

Um......

So it turned out that it was because he and Mitsuri were too close that Xiao Banai deliberately kept him as a teacher for a few days. If he hadn't found it fun, who knows how long this guy would have deliberately kept him detained.

----

The box was shaking, and above his head was the scorching sun that he could not see but could feel. Leaning against the wood behind him, Lin Guang yawned lightly. It was a familiar feeling, but not exactly the same as the scene in his memory, so the feeling was also biased. The yawn was not because of sleepiness, but because of boredom. The person behind him was separated from him by a layer of wood, but he was extremely quiet, without any sound. Maybe he didn't know what to say, or maybe he was afraid of disturbing him, or maybe the other person was the quieter type. Who knows why, anyway, Lin Guang felt that the silence was a bit boring.

The amplitude of the shaking was also different. Tanjiro was always very careful when carrying him on his back, and the steady and rhythmic amplitude was like a cradle, like a small boat drifting on the lake, but the person behind him was different. His steps were still steady and rhythmic. After all, he was someone who had trained for a long time and already knew how to maintain physical strength for a longer-lasting run. It was just that the other party obviously didn't know how to take care of the box behind him when he was running. The ups and downs of the amplitude made Rinko feel more like a pastry in a box taken away by a wild dog, but the box was not that big, and he was not as small as the pastry. His outstretched legs were stuck on the wooden boards on both sides, and his body was leaning back against the wooden board behind him. No matter how the box shook and bumped, at least he would not hit his head because of the flying arc.

But it certainly wasn't a pleasant journey.

Ok.

Hope it ends soon.

Prayer has its limitations, especially when we don’t know everything about the future. Prayer can sometimes become a catalyst that pushes the person praying towards a worse future.

To put it in more understandable terms, Rinkou in the box didn't know what would happen next, so he just felt uncomfortable and hoped that the journey would end soon. But when he was really put down, before he had time to rejoice, he heard a familiar voice, and he thought that maybe it would not be bad to be bumpy like that for a while longer, maybe the other person could take him to a farther place home, or at least to another place instead of here.

"Hey, kid, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you so rude again?"

The box that was carefully placed on the ground was immediately noticed by the owner here. Unlike the cautious 'postman', the man with a knife walked forward and kicked the box casually. The wooden box tilted due to inertia, but because of the heavy objects in the box, it did not fall down. It tilted slightly and then swayed back to its original point.

"And you too, after not seeing each other for a few days, you're even more rude than before, Mr. Busuigawa."
