Hearing this, Tanjiro went to Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was fast asleep, and without hesitation, slapped him across the face.
Slap!
A crisp sound rang out. Zenitsu jumped up, frantically looking around.
"Did a {demon} appear? Where? Who hit me just now?" Zenitsu asked in a confused three-part question.
Ryuji walked up to Zenitsu, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Zenitsu, it's broad daylight. {Demons} won't appear. You're a demon slayer, at least act professional, okay?"
"Oh, I see! That's why those {demons} only come out at night. They're sleeping during the day!" Zenitsu looked enlightened.
Tanjiro was speechless. This brain… was probably incurable.
Ryuji thought Zenitsu's statement made some sense; it wasn't entirely nonsense.
After all, because {demons} fear sunlight, they probably wouldn't do much during the day besides sleeping. Would you expect {demons} to contribute to society?
"Let's go search the mountain," Ryuji said to Zenitsu.
"Ryuji, why are we searching the mountain? Isn't it better to relax and sleep here? You're always fighting {demons}. Don't you get tired? It's our job, but you don't need to be so dedicated! Shouldn't you enjoy life more? After all, Ryuji, your fiancée, Keiko, will be at least ten years before she can serve you. You should think about how to survive those ten years of waiting."
Zenitsu didn't understand Ryuji's serious work attitude. In his opinion, finding a pretty girl he liked and living a simple life was his pursuit.
Ryuji was surprised that Zenitsu was so considerate of his future marriage. Probably only romantic matters could get Zenitsu to care so much.
However, Zenitsu was right. Regarding Keiko Himejima, the little girl he had promised to marry, Ryuji did have to wait ten years before she could legally marry him.
Ten years was indeed a long time.
Ryuji sighed inwardly, then put aside his sentimental thoughts. "Don't worry, I'll definitely live longer than you! And I'll definitely have more wives!"
This remark immediately stung Zenitsu, a direct provocation to him as a single dog.
But Zenitsu knew Ryuji had the capacity for multiple wives. So, Zenitsu could only fume, helplessly and enviously complaining, "That's too cruel! Can you leave a man some dignity, Ryuji?"
"Enough chit-chat! Tanjiro, grab Zenitsu, let's go!" Ryuji didn't want to continue bickering with Zenitsu and instructed Tanjiro to take Zenitsu along to search the mountain.
Tanjiro didn't say anything. It was better to have Zenitsu with them searching for {demons} than letting him harass other young women.
So, Tanjiro grabbed Zenitsu's hand, firmly restraining him.
"Tanjiro, what are you doing grabbing me? You're too close! I like women, even if you do this, I won't give in!"
"Hey~ Tanjiro~ Don't pull me! I can walk myself!"
Amidst Zenitsu's complaints, Ryuji and the others began their search around the village.
