Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 274: Wrong truth is also true

"Hmm...So, Minami...?"

There was a brief silence. The boy seemed to be thinking, considering, and hesitating seriously, while Xuan Mi waited patiently for him to speak.

"Why don't you want Xuanya to stay in the Demon Slayer Corps?"

This is one of the few times Xuan Mi realizes that Rin Kou is really a demon. He cannot understand other people's emotions and finds it difficult to truly sympathize with special situations. This may sound a bit biased, but it does fit in with the Demon Slayer Corps' understanding of demons.

After Xuanya had just given a complete explanation of the cause and effect of the special situation that had happened to Sanemi before, and gave a brief introduction to the things that happened in his childhood, and also mentioned his guilt and sadness for these things that had happened and could not be made up for, after all this, Rinko asked him why his brother didn't let him stay in the Demon Slayer Corps.

He didn't ask anything else, and it seemed as if he didn't listen to anything. He was just obsessed with his own doubts.

"To be honest, I don't know either. Maybe it's because my eldest brother... feels it's a shame to have a brother like this. The fact that I'm in the Demon Slayer Corps is also embarrassing for him..."

Xuan Mi shook his head, thought about it over and over again, and in the end all he could do was sigh and lower his head in disappointment.

"Um......"

The drawn-out tone emphasizes the speaker's current state of thought, and the atmosphere briefly stagnates after the ending.

“That’s understandable.”

The boy's ruthless words broke the silence, and Xuanya's already bowed head now sank even lower. Although I had heard from Tanjiro before that Rinkou could be so blunt sometimes, it was still a little sad to hear him say that.

"But it would be nice if we just became stronger."

The boy continued to talk to himself. Xuan Mi raised his head because of this sentence. Ling Guang didn't look at him, still looking straight into the distance, and just continued to talk.

"It's normal for the weak to be disliked and despised, because they can't help, because they will become a burden, because they can't stand at the same height and see the same things. Just like Xuan Mi can push the boulder now, but those who are standing under the waterfall, or even those who haven't been able to come here to train, won't they be silent when talking to Xuan Mi? Because they don't understand what you are saying. Maybe it's the same for Shi Mi. The world that Shi Mi sees is different from Xuan Mi, so he can't talk to you properly."

The blow and encouragement mixed together, like a piece of kneaded dough hitting his head. Xuan Mi couldn't tell which part accounted for more, nor could he tell whether such words made sense. He felt that there seemed to be some truth, but it also seemed different.

"But as long as you become stronger, everything will be fine. If you become powerful, you can sit down and talk properly. At least when Shimi wants Xuanmi to leave again, you can knock him down and tell him that you only want to stay here. Even if he wants to kick you out, he can't do it, right?"

Lin Guang turned to look at the boy sitting next to him. The other party was lost in thought, perhaps trying to understand these words, or perhaps brewing an answer, but Lin Guang hoped that he was thinking of a way to become stronger.

There are many times when he is treated as a student, but there are few times when he tries to teach others like he does now. Although he has been helping others recently, passively helping and actively trying to teach others are indeed different experiences.

"That's right. All we can do now is get stronger. If I become even stronger, maybe big brother will be a little happier."

This was said unconvincingly, but Lingguang didn't care. His thoughts were immersed in other things.

No wonder Kokushibo kept trying to teach him.

This is what the other party calls "a teachable child".
