Chương 100: Is it a bird? A plane? It's Seiji Shigan!!!

[Seiji's POV]

"Hey, man!! Can you tell me your post address?" I screamed at the pilot sitting in front of me.

He turned his head as much as he could to the side and answered. It should be impossible to hear him but by a simple glance at his throat movement, I was able to read what he said.

I memorized it.

I got up from my seat and grabbed his neck so that I could talk to his ear. I didn't want the rushing air to silence my voice.

"I'm sorry to do this to you man, but don't tell anyone. Not like anyone would believe you anyways..." I started and laughed, much to his confusion.

"I will send you a letter as proof that I'm alive. Just tell Mr Hashinaka that you dropped me off in another place or something," I said before I let him go.

The air whipped around me, the plane was not fast by any means but the sky was windy as hell. I removed all of the safety belts strapped on my waist before I did what a madman would.

I jumped off the plane.

Yeah, I know I could've returned without any issue and went to the Kamado house on foot again, but I didn't want that. There was really no other logical explanation.

I always wanted to go skydiving, and I had the chance.

It couldn't get simpler.

"Holy smokes," I said as I felt my body flipping in the air, my momentum started off wrong due to jumping off the plane.

But with my experience as a fighter and mastery over my body, I spread my limbs and steadied myself to a peaceful fall.

My dead ears could hear the air whipping by as I descended faster and faster towards the ground. But at one point, I reached the limit and stayed at a consistent speed.

With the help of my four limbs and a quick calculation of my current trajectory with my eyes, I fell towards my destination.

My eyes felt very dry from the rushing air so that was uncomfortable, but other than that the skydiving experience was incredible.

I hope the pilot is not too traumatized.

(3rd POV)

"Huh?!" a young girl the age of 12 straightened up and craned her neck to look at the strange thing she saw falling from the sky.

She was in the middle of harvesting vegetables from their garden when she heard the sound of a plane flying over them. She looked up but instead of seeing the plane, she saw something strange.

What she saw took her whole attention as she dropped her basket.

Maybe it was the summer heat messing with her head or maybe her eyes were playing tricks on her.

But she just saw a man drop from the sky.

..

..

*BOOOM*

A small explosion came from the direction of the forest shortly after. it was proof that what she saw might not just be an illusion. Maybe it was not a man, but there was something falling from the sky.

She left her basket behind and ran towards the explosion in the forest. Juvenile curiosity filled her mind, was it an asteroid? A bird? A monster?

Or was it the Omnitrix?

Anyway, she ran through the forest as quickly as her feet could take her. Then she finally came upon the crash site. She stopped on her track and looked on with wide eyes.

It was a man.

She was stumped to find out that what she saw was true. There really was a man falling from the sky.

"...."

Wavy purple hair framed a handsome face. His healthy skin made him look quite young but his expression and eyes betrayed that observation, they looked like they had experienced quite a lot.

The scars on his forehead and cheeks were prominent flaws on his otherwise handsome face. They gave off a scary vibe as if those scars were nothing like others.

He was dressed in a dark uniform - standard demon slayer uniform - and a white and purple haori.

But the most unique feature he had was his purple eyes which seemed to have a different source of light other than the sun. They were currently looking above, seeing something more than what the little girl thought she would ever see.

'He doesn't notice me,' the girl observed curiously. The man was looking up and did not seem to notice her coming here.

She simply observed the man curiously until he moved his head and his eyes landed on her. They seem to widen slightly in shock upon seeing her.

Now that she was finally noticed, the girl gave a bright smile and introduced herself, like how her mother had taught her to do.

"Hi mister, my name is Nezuko Kamado-"

That was all she was able to say before the man suddenly appeared in front of her. He scooped her up from the ground and put her on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Nezuko was shocked and alarmed. Was she going to get kidnapped?

"Run!! Bees!!" the man said and bolted off. He ran fast, but not too fast as to hurt the small girl on his shoulder.

That was when the girl noticed many bees flying at them, one could tell they were pissed off from the sound they were making.

The man had destroyed a bee hive on one of the trees he fell on.

With Nezuko on his shoulder, the man continued running until the bees eventually gave up on chasing them. They ran out of the forest and only stopped when they reached a clearing - the Kamado compound.

"Haaa....that was scary. You only realized how freaky insects look when you see them up close," the man uttered with a sigh.

Then his attention turned to Nezuko again and he gently put her down on the ground.

"Oh, hello there, Nezuko-chan," the man said, looking at the girl with a look of familiarity as if he knew her.

"Wow, you look even cuter in person....You have a cute forehead," he said, more to himself than her. He started stroking her hair before he reached down and pinched her cheeks.

Nezuko, being a big girl of 12 now, did not appreciate being treated like a little kid. So she removed his hand from her face and looked at him with a new glint in her eyes.

One that was more cautious.

"You have a sword mister, who are you?" she asked.

She noticed the hidden sword under his haori while they were running away from the bees.

The man laughed, seeing her put her guard up. But he respected her wish and introduced himself in kind.

"My name is Seiji, Seiji Shigan," he said and paused.

"And I am....your cousin from Tokyo,"

"Eh?" Nezuko was left stunned. Her family didn't have relatives as far as she knew.

"Cousin?"

"That's right," Seiji said, lying to the young girl as naturally as he breathed.

"Is that your house?" he said, looking behind her and at the house in the distance.

"Yes,"

"Then let's go," he said and walked past her and towards the house.

Nezuko was left dumbfounded. She had endless questions like how did he fell from the sky. How did he find them? Was he really her cousin?

But the man who had the answer was already getting away.

"Wait a minute!!" she exclaimed before turning around and running after him.

...

...

////////////////////

[Seiji's POV]

"Who are you?" Kie Kamado, the mother of the protagonist duo Tanjiro and Nezuku stood in front of me with caution and alarm all over her eyes.

I guess that was the normal reaction when you see a mean-looking man with scars, carrying a sword taller than you.

Nezuko was just a kid, not knowing the dangers and suspicion of the situation.

"Nezuko. Come here," Kie did not scream, trying to hide her emotion from leaking from her voice. But that was a futile effort because I could see everything and couldn't hear at the same time.

Unlike her daughter, the mother knew to be cautious of a stranger.

Not realizing what was going on but heeding her mother's words anyway, Nezuko ran up to her mother and stood beside her. Kie grabbed her daughter's shoulder to calm down.

She still had a polite smile even though she was wary.

"Please sir, can you tell me who you are or why you are here?" she asked again, still polite and modest.

I did not have anything on me other than the sword which was why she was very alarmed. I couldn't be a traveller, nor a trader going around to sell his product. The high-quality haori and uniform I had also indicated that I was no farmer or ordinary man.

I guess she would suspect that I was in the military or something. And at this age, no one liked the army.

"No need to be so unease, Miss Kie," I said.

"You know my name?" she asked me.

Yes, I had an incredible memory since I was young. I knew the names of all the family members of the Kamado family.

"Of course, I know you," I said and smiled, "I also know about Tanjiro, Takeo, Hanako, Rokuta, and Nezuko. Your husband mentioned you all in his letters,"

"My husband?" Kie questioned, confused.

"Yes, your husband Tanjuro," I said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Seiji Shigan, you can consider me a distant relative. You see your husband and my mother are siblings,"

Yeah, that was the bullshit I was going with. I didn't know if it would fly but it was better than not trying.

In Japan, blood relations were greatly valued. Even if it was the first time we met, if they knew I was somehow related to them then that meant I would be immediately treated with hospitality.

I needed to get close to them to get what I wanted. So this was the fastest way I could think of. It would take too long for them to trust a complete stranger.

"I see," she said and I saw that she did not buy my words.

"I heard about Tanjuro's passing, and I wanted to visit his family and see how you were doing," I said.

We were standing in front of the house and after doing a quick scan with my eyes, I concluded that Tanjuro was already dead at this point.

"My husband died two years ago," she said with narrowed eyes.

"And I'm sorry I couldn't visit sooner," I said without missing a beat. My brain was good enough to process the world in slow motion, I could come up with lies like premium chatgbt.

She was a widow with lots of children living alone in the woods. I could understand her nervousness.

"Here, take it," I said and put my sword forward. Kie stared at it for a long time before she took my sword. It was heavier than she expected but she still managed to hold it.

I said this before but the sword was a big part of a samurai. They would rarely let others touch their sword much less give their weapon up.

So she took that as a sign that I meant no harm.

"My mother is worried about the family her bother left behind. I just came here to see if everything is going well," I said.

Kie continued staring at me for some time before she smiled again, this time more genuine.

"Well come in," she invited me.

I released a sigh of relief.

Chương 101: Long lost cousin?

Author : Double chapters.

///////////////

[Seiji's POV]

The Kamado family lived in a modest house that was not too big yet not too small. The size seemed to be just right for a family of seven.

There was this very homey vibe to it that made me feel welcomed. The children all hid in the other room, peeking out curiously from the corner of a door and such.

"Please, do tell me more about my husband and his letters," Kie asked as we sat in the living room.

She was a beautiful woman with long silky black hair tied in the back and kind eyes the shade of purple. She wore a white kimono with subtle patterns that gave off the feeling of an earnest mother and wife.

I replied, "Since my mother married to another family, she and her blood-related family did not have much contact with each other. We were living in the city of Tokyo while most of her relatives lived in rural areas,"

"Your husband, Tanjuro rarely made contact with her but three or so years ago, letters started coming from him to my mother. In those letters, he stated how he was plagued with an incurable disease and would like to meet her again before he passed," I said while she listened carefully.

"Unfortunately, my mother passed a year ago as well due to an accident. So I came here in her stead," I said with a slight bow.

"I see. I'm truly sorry for your loss," Kie said, bowing lower than me.

"Although you already knew them beforehand, let me introduce my children," Kie said before turning towards the small kids who were peeking from the far corner.

"Tanjiro, Nezuko, please would you and your siblings come here," Kie asked gently and all of the Kamado children came to me shyly.

I smiled seeing them, especially Tanjiro and Nezuko who were not shy, unlike their siblings.

"My name is Tanjiro Kamado," said the main character of this world. He looked exactly like I expected him to be, kind and good.

I tried not to stare too much at him and looked at the other children also.

"And these are my siblings, Nezuko, Takeo, Hanako, Shigeru and that little one is Rokuta," he introduced his siblings with a bright smile.

"Nice to meet you!!" they said in unison with a bow.

"Nice to meet you too. My name is Seiji Shigan, and I am your cousin from your father's side. I guess that makes me kind of like a big brother to all of you," I said and with the mention of blood relation, they seemed more comfortable.

They had stars in their eyes while looking up at me.

Cute. Who doesn't like well-behaved kids?

"Seiji-san, please do spend the night with us for today," Kie invited me. It was tradition for a relative who came visiting from another town or village to spend the night since things like hotels or inns were not available in most rural areas so I did not find her invitation to be weird.

"I'd be happy if you are willing,"

"That's great then," Kie smiled. Then she turned to her children "And kids, do behave well in front of Seiji-san,"

"I will leave you for now as I need to start preparing dinner," she bowed and left for the kitchen with Nezuko.

And that left me with the main character of the world and his four siblings. I took another look at the boy with a scar on his forehead.

...he was so weak and innocent. I couldn't imagine him fighting against the likes of Upper Moon as he was now.

Well, with my existence this time, he shouldn't need to do that.

"I-Is it true that you are a Samurai, Seiji-san?" was the first question Tanjiro asked.

I guess whatever time you may be in, Samurai were always cool.

"Of course. I am a Samurai working directly under the head of the Ubuyashiki family," I said, much to their giddy excitement.

"See this sword?" I said and took my sword which Kie had laid down beside the small table in the living room.

"It was forged for me by a great blacksmith when I reached the highest rank a samurai can reach," I said as they oohed and awwed in amazement.

"But why is your katana so long?" Takeo asked, the eldest brother beside Tanjiro. He had a buzz-cut hair with brown eyes. He looked to be around 8 or 9.

"Not a katana, my sword is called an odachi," I said, "A two-handed sword that can only be wielded by exceptionally strong samurai," I boasted.

"Can I touch it?" the little girl, Hanako asked.

"Sure." I said, why the hell not?

And they soon gathered round me, wanting to get a look at the sword. I was no master at handling kids but I could easily play the cool uncle and entertain them.

The children had a lot of questions, their immense curiosity barely contained by thier manners. They asked me about the city, about my family back there, what we do for a living, and how I got my scars. If I had clashed with another samurai and so on.

After an hour of spending time with the children, my eyes noticed a conversation between Nezuko and Kie cooking in the kitchen.

I wouldn't go into detail about the exact conversation but basically, the Kamado family were poor. They no longer had a father to provide for them and their only source of income was selling charcoal - which was not too good of a business in summer.

There was no meat or expensive food that they could offer me. That was their main concern.

"Tanjiro," I called and stood up with my sword.

"Yes?" the young protagonist beckoned with a tilt of his head.

"Let's go for a walk shall we," I said but I was already walking towards the door.

"Seiji-nii where are you going?" little Hanako asked us.

"Doing some samurai things," I joked, "We'll be back soon,"

I walked out of the house and slowly made my way toward the thick forestation nearby. Before long, Tanjiro also ran out of the house and caught up to me.

The reason why I asked Tanjiro to follow me was mainly because I wanted him to get familiar with me - which by the way seemed to be an easy task with his good nature.

"Do you know if there is a hill nearby?" I asked.

"A hill?" he tilted his head in confusion but in the end, he did not ask why I wanted to know such things.

He simply flashed a smile, "Of course, it's this way, follow me!!"

He ran past me and started leading me to where I asked.

I wonder, would it be bad if I got attached to this family? I would do everything in my power to protect them from the fate that awaits them but it seemed stupid to get attached to people specifically targeted by the Demon Lord himself.

...

Heh, who am I kidding?

The answer was obvious.

..

..

////////////////////////

(A few minutes later: On top of a nearby hill)

"Seiji-san, what are you doing?" Tanjiro asked me with his innocent questioning face.

"Infinite food glitch," I answered, "Tell me Tanjiro, when was the last time you had meat?"

"I actually caught a green pheasant recently in one of my bird traps. So the last time I had meat was like only two weeks ago," he said.

Meat was quite a luxurious food during this time. Animal husbandry was not too prominent and even if people had animals, they usually do it for their own sustenance and not for profit.

So eating meat was rare if you couldn't hunt.

I hummed at his answer while looking around at the thick forest. My vision was undisturbed by distance or coverage. I could see everything perfectly and more.

"What kind of meat do you prefer? Pig, deer, rabbit or birds?" I asked.

"Well, I personally like rabbits but since my sisters don't like eating them for being too cute, I'd want a deer," he answered without much thought.

"I see," I said with a smile. I ignored all other animals in the forest and focused on the three deers within my field of vision.

In the end, I picked the second nearest one. The closest one was a stage - male deer - and those had a very intense smell, especially during their mating season which was coming soon.

So I picked the female deer. My eyes locked on it.

"Step away a little," I said and Tanjrio took a step back.

"A little more," I said and he took three steps back.

He had a smile on his face and seemed to not want to get too far away from me/

"A little more," I said again and he took two more steps back.

That was still too close but fine, I hope he doesn't get blown away.

I was going to unsheath my sword but then I stopped mid-action. Throwing around my sword like that was a horrible way to destroy it. Instead, I looked at Tanjiro and the small dagger he had on his belt.

"Pass me your dagger," I said and Tanjiro threw it at me.

After I caught the dagger, I got myself familiar with the balance and weight before I nodded in satisfaction. This would do.

I grabbed the weapon at the blade and fixed my posture to throw the blade. I pulled my arm back and inhaled copious amounts of air.

"Thunder Wind Breathing,"

The world stilled.

"Unerring Lance!"

Then it exploded at the command of my action. The atmosphere seemed to rupture as hurricanes came alive on the spot.

I threw the small dagger towards the female deer I saw in the distance.

The sound barrier was broken two times, by my arm and by the projectile. My arm created a whip-like sound while the dagger exploded like a jet, piercing through the layers of air.

Objects in my vicinity, and even Tanjrio himself were blown away by the shockwave while I remained on the spot.

The world moved in slow motion as I watched the dagger hit the deer in the ribs and pierce right through it. The animal died without even having the chance to feel pain.

"Nice," I said.

"Seiji-sani!!!" Tanjiro screamed while getting up after he was blown off. He came back running to me.

"What was that?!" he questioned in astonishment.

"Hmmm? You saw it right? I just threw the dagger," I said like it was obvious but inside I was holding back a laugh.

He stared at me with a dumbfounded face, "Is that what happened? How?"

I shrugged.

"And my dagger..that was my father's,"

"Don't worry, we'll retrieve it," I said. It logged itself perfectly on the dirt so I knew I had not broken it.

"Let's go," I said and we both went towards my kill.

..

We reached the place in a few minutes and Tanjiro froze when we came upon the scene.

"This...how is this possible.." he asked when he saw the deer beside the dagger.

"You have no idea what's possible," I said with a hidden smile.

There was a reason why I showed this to Tanjiro. He was the main character, which was synonymous with trouble magnet.

Even though I did not want him to fight against Upper Moons, Muzan, or bear the burden of ending this war, I was still going to train him so that he would be able to protect himself and his loved ones.

"Are you even human?" he turned to me and asked with nervous sweat dripping from his cheeks.

*Bam!*

I karate chop his head, "That's rude. Of course, I'm human,"

He winced in pain while rubbing his head, "But humans can't do this,"

"They most definitely can. Your father could do it, and so can you," I said.

"Me?'

"No, I'm talking about 'Yu', an acquaintance,"

"Oh,"

"I'm kidding, Yes, you," I said and pointed at him.

I walked away from him and collected the dagger and deer. Tanjiro just stood in his place, watching me while thinking over my words.

"Let's return," I said, "And don't tell anyone about this,"

..

..

//////////////////

"What is this?" Kie was waiting outside the house, worried that I suddenly brought Tanjiro out so she was waiting for us to return.

She was shocked upon seeing the deer I was carrying on my shoulder.

"Sorry for borrowing Tanjiro without your permission," I said, "I just couldn't take advantage of your hospitality without contributing anything."

I said and dropped the deer on the ground.

It will need proper skinning and butchering but I knew how to do that, so I immediately started getting to it.

The family simply watched me while I did my work.
